Synopsis

It's 12 October 1984. An IRA bomb blows apart the Grand Hotel in  Brighton. Miraculously, Margaret Thatcher survives. In small-town Scotland,  eight-year-old Damian Barr watches in horror as his mum rips her wedding  ring off and packs their bags. He knows he, too, must survive. 
 
Damian, his sister and his Catholic mum move in with her sinister new  boyfriend while his Protestant dad shacks up with the glamorous Mary the  Canary. Divided by sectarian suspicion, the community is held together  by the sprawling Ravenscraig Steelworks. But darkness threatens as  Maggie takes hold: she snatches school milk, smashes the unions and  makes greed good. Following Maggie's advice, Damian works hard and plans  his escape. He discovers that stories can save your life and - in spite  of violence, strikes, AIDS and Clause 28 - manages to fall in love  dancing to Madonna in Glasgow's only gay club.  
 
Maggie & Me is  a touching and darkly witty memoir about surviving Thatcher's Britain; a  story of growing up gay in a straight world and coming out the other  side in spite of, and maybe because of, the iron lady.

    Love doesn't come with a syllabus. Kelly Davidson has waited what seems like forever to graduate high school and get out of his small-minded, small town. But when he arrives at Hope University, he quickly realizes finding his Prince Charming isn't so easy. Everyone here is already out. In fact, Kelly could be the only virgin on campus. Worst of all, he's landed the charming, handsome, Erotica/Gaycampus Casanova as a roommate, whose bed might as well be equipped with a revolving door. Walter Lucas doesn't believe in storybook love. Everyone is better off having as much fun as possible with as many people as possible...except his shy, sad little sack of a roommate is seriously screwing up his world view. As Walter sets out to lure Kelly out of his shell, staying just friends is harder than he anticipated. He discovers love is a crash course in determination. To make the grade, he'll have to finally show up for class...and overcome his own private fear that love was never meant to last. Warning: This story contains lingering glances, milder than usual sexual content for this author, and a steamy dance-floor kiss. Story has no dairy or egg content, but may contain almonds.

    Micah: Constantine Ross is a cocky, provoking little . . . yeah. And I swear, I'd think that even if his family's business wasn't my biggest competition. It's time someone taught the man a lesson or two about life. At least that's what I tell myself when I offer him a job. Call it my good deed for the year . . . maybe the century. 
    But now he's in my shop. In my space. In my every damn thought. In. My. Bed. 
    And how the hell am I supposed to resist him? 
    Constantine: I'll be the first to admit I've royally screwed up, but what can I say? I was a stupid teen who lost his dad and spiraled out of control. Almost a decade later, I'm still trying to make amends. The last thing I need is my family's arch-nemesis wading into my life like he's got all the answers. Except . . . I really need money, and the arrogant jerk offered me a job. 
    I can deal with Micah's attitude. My attraction to him? That's different. He's my boss, not my boyfriend. And he's way too old for me. But God, he's gorgeous. Dominant. Compelling. 
    I don't want to want him . . . But I can't turn away.
