Sinossi

Banished from his home on the border in Agua Prieta, Sonora, by his homophobic father, Carlos embarks on a journey to find Jesse, the love of his life. At a time when homosexuality was against the law and classified as a mental disorder, he seeks through achievement the applause denied by society and the tenderness he disavows for himself.
But what happens when Carlos discovers lowering his tone and standing with legs wide apart does not protect him from homophobic rants, sexual advances of women, and men who deny their own sexuality? Camaleón is a tour de force tale of the early gender fluidity of the 60s. The colorful characters, drag queens, and trans people come from a broad spectrum of gender identities and teach the hero that the only gender rule is that there are no rules, compelling him to leave everything behind and embrace his own identity.

    Murder me once, shame on you. Murder me twice… 
    Emery Luple hunts monsters, solves crimes, confronts myths, and does it all in style. So it’s downright embarrassing when he’s killed in the unforgiving desert while hunting a monster that never should have been there. 
    The good news? He reincarnates into a new life—and not for the first time. 
    The bad news? Someone knows who he is and how to kill him. Within minutes of reincarnating, he's nearly killed again. And Emery doesn’t know anything about his murderer. All he has are his instincts and a voice in a sandstorm. 
    But a string of grisly murders in New York draws him back into the world of investigation, mythical creatures, and mystery. Unexpected feelings, a rival monster hunter, and supernatural beheadings soon have Emery questioning if his death isn’t a part of something bigger. Can he solve the current crimes before his murderer finds him again?

    Winter Holliday is devoted to her friends, her career, the quaint town of Anneville, and Christmas—though not necessarily in that order. Romance is not on her agenda, no matter how much her friends, coworkers, and neighbors try to convince her otherwise. As the cochair and vice president of the Anneville Special Events Committee, she can't imagine abandoning her duties for a fling with her high school crush, Avery Sumner. 
     
     
     
    Avery left Anneville to become a successful, albeit often frustrated, record producer in New York. When her top star makes some capricious demands, Avery finds herself back in Anneville, where life suddenly seems more inviting. 
     
     
     
    Despite an undeniable attraction between Winter and Avery, a series of missed opportunities and hilarious obstacles constantly seem to get in the way of the simplest thing in the world: falling in love.

    The most celebrated detective in lesbian literature returns in the most fateful case of her career . . . 
     
     
     
    Four years retired, Kate Delafield has a twenty-year-old case roaring back on her, a case from which she had recoiled, withdrawn herself. A homophobic homicide far too reminiscent of a recent, haunting, life-changing investigation of the murder of a young lesbian at the Nightwood Bar. Now she suffers in secret, knowing she is personally culpable for the mishandling of evidence. 
     
     
     
    The key decisions about the conduct of her life and her police career that have brought her directly to this time, this place in the high desert where she has taken herself. All she can do now, she resolves, is protect as best she can the people she loves most, especially Aimee, from this threat. And, until her time runs out, she can go back and investigate, determine who actually ended the life of fifteen-year-old April Shuster. 
     
     
     
    But events, people, intervene. New people in her present life, some from her past. And they will take her in the most unexpected of directions.

    When his roof caves in, Sean Lovett thinks things can't get any worse. Until he loses his job, adding yet another bump in the rocky road of his life. None of his so-called friends can—or will—help. And asking a favor from his abusive ex? Hard pass. Luckily, his sister comes to the rescue and offers him a great apartment—in the city, no less—until he can get back on his feet. 
    Sweet deal. 
    Until a gorgeous man unlocks the front door and strolls right in with a grumpy attitude and a claim that his boss—who happens to be Sean’s brother-in-law—promised him the same apartment. 
    Former NYPD detective Tristan McDermott hasn’t stopped running since the death of his best friend. After almost two years of living in his own personal hell, he returns home to New York, hoping he can move on, but guilt still follows his every step. He's grateful to have the perfect apartment until he can settle into a place of his own. But there’s a cute guy already living there. And only one bedroom. And no way is Tristan leaving. He’s staying put. 
    Sharing the space is tough, but Tristan can ignore sweet Sean and his sunshiny smiles. 
    Kind of. 
    Except Sean's brother-in-law asks Tristan to keep an eye on Sean so he doesn't make any bad decisions. 
    Uh oh. 
    Keeping an eye on Sean is easy. Keeping his hands off him is much, much harder. 
    And sleeping together...well, that isn't a bad decision. Not when it feels so good. 
    Right? 
    From Lambda Literary award winning author Felice Stevens comes the story of a grumpy, green juice-drinking ex-detective running from the past and a sunshiney singing waiter who can’t catch a break. It features a meet-cute, only one bed, learning to trust, and a surprise lap dance.
