Sinopsis

Doris Grumbach’s chilling look at the ways childhood experiences create transformative echoes that last throughout adulthood “I want to lead you all into the ocean to see if you will drown.” During the summer of 1929 four children come together and change the course of their lives forever. Caleb and Kate Flowers live an isolated existence with their mother until Lionel Schwartz and Roslyn Hellman come to Far Rockaway for the summer. Roslyn, quickly stepping in as ringleader, dominates the summer’s activities, and what appear to be innocent childhood games are actually very real confrontations with the group’s most closely held secrets. As the summer progresses, Caleb and Kate’s relationship grows from the affectionate love of siblings to something less innocent. The ensuing years will bring profound realizations and undeniable passions for all four as they move through adolescence and grow up. Doris Grumbach’s acutely intimate, deeply truthful, and often tragic tale of self-discovery never wavers.

From USA Today bestselling author Marley Valentine comes an all new emotional, friends-to lovers gay romance standalone. 
I couldn’t tell you when I fell in love with Gael Herrera, but I wish I knew how to make it stop.  
Falling in love with a straight man is a rookie mistake. But falling in love with my soon-to-be-married-to-a-woman best friend is nothing but heartache. 
Through all the years, and all the men I’ve fooled around with, he’s always been at the back of my mind. An unrequited crush I wish I could shake. A dream that was never going to come true. 
When I whisk him off to a surprise bachelor party weekend in Vegas, I surrender to the idea that this is an opportunity for me to finally let go of my feelings for him and say goodbye. 
But after a heated exchange and an even hotter kiss, everything I thought I knew about our friendship changed. 
Maybe I had it wrong. Maybe, after all this time, we were more than best friends. Maybe, just maybe, he felt it too.
