Synopsis

In 'Summer' by Edith Wharton, a captivating tale set in the rural landscapes of New England, the author explores the complex themes of morality, social class, and female sexuality. Written with Wharton's signature elegant prose and sharp wit, the novel delves into the turbulent love affair between the poor, young Charity Royall and the sophisticated Lucius Harney, challenging societal conventions and shedding light on the limitations imposed on women in the early 20th century. Wharton's keen observations of human nature and attention to detail make 'Summer' a compelling read that offers valuable insights into the constraints faced by individuals in a traditional society. The novel is a must-read for those interested in feminist literature and historical fiction, as it provides a nuanced portrayal of gender dynamics and class struggles during the Gilded Age.

    It takes being tackled in the park to get Sarah out of her rut. 
  
  
Although, Sarah wouldn't call it a rut. At 22 years old she's comfortable where she is in life - living with her dad, hanging out with her best friend, and working at the same job since she was 14 years old. Life has so much more to offer, but she's not interested in any hand-outs. Not even from her best friend Nina who is desperate to get her back on the dating scene. When Riak Royal attacks her in the park, Sarah finds herself more attracted to the tall, dark, and animalistic werewolf than she is afraid. With her dark purple eyes and disarming grin, Riak shakes up her life by claiming Sarah as her mate right then and there. Now instead of maybe rekindling something casual with her ex, Sarah has to figure out how Riak fits in her life no matter how commitment-phobic she is, because the alternative would be insanity. 
With the help of Nina, and a whole lot of introspection, Sarah will find herself on a journey of self-discovery she never would have expected, while maybe falling in love with the werewolf she never asked for.

    An old soldier in search of redemption. A condemned prisoner with the power to carve out his heart… or save it. 
Caius Oppita has served the Alyrion Empire for more than half his life, watching with growing revulsion as the royal family descends ever deeper into corruption and depravity. Powerless to do more than stand by as the land he loves slides toward civil war and social upheaval, he longs for his days as a general on the battlefield rather than a tame palace lapdog. 
When the execution of one of the emperor’s inconvenient bastard sons goes wrong, Caius has a choice to make—do his duty, or do what is right and spirit the innocent man away to safety. 
It should have been simple—hide Decian in plain sight for a few days, then smuggle him out of the palace compound. Buy him passage on a ship sailing someplace far away from the capital city, and take quiet pleasure in fighting one single injustice among many. 
Instead, the swirling undercurrents of politics and power struggles seem determined to drag them ever deeper into danger—even as Decian guilelessly slips past the armor surrounding Caius’ battered soul. Caius had never considered himself a fool… but only a fool would bed the emperor’s illegitimate son. Much less let the brash young idiot anywhere near his heart. 
The problem with secrets is that they breed more secrets. And betrayal only hurts when you cared in the first place.

    When life gives Kuro Jenkins lemons, he wants to make ponzu to serve at his Los Angeles ramen shop. Instead he's dodging bullets and wondering how the hell he ended up back in the Black Ops lifestyle he left behind him. After rescuing former child star Trey Bishop from a pair of thugs in the middle of the night, he knows it's time to pick up his gun again. But it seems trouble isn't done with Trey, and Kuro can't quite let go… of either the gun or Trey Bishop. Trey Bishop never denied his life's downward spiral was his own fault. After a few stints in rehab, he's finally shaken off his Hollywood bad-boy lifestyle but not his reputation. The destruction of his acting career and his relationships goes deep, and no one trusts anything he says, including the LAPD. When two men dragging a dead body spot him on a late-night run and try to murder him, Trey is grateful for the tall, dark, and deadly ramen shop owner he lusts over—not just for rescuing him, but also for believing him. Now caught in a web of murders and lies, Trey knows someone wants him dead, and the only one on his side is a man with deep, dark secrets. Trey hopes Kuro Jenkins will stick around to see what the future holds for them once the dust settles, but from the looks of things, neither of them may survive to find out.

    Love Offers No Safety: Nigeria's Queer Men Speak is a raw and powerful collection of 25 first-person narratives that explore the diverse experience of queer Nigerian men. These stirring stories cut across age, class, religion, ethnicity, family and relationships, offering a glimpse into what it means to survive as a queer man in Nigeria. From Tunji, who takes us back to the thriving networking community before social media, to Chukwori, who struggles to reconcile his need to serve God with his sexuality, and Abdulkarim, who frustratingly wonders if he'll ever stop working twice as hard to be accepted, these stories are full of contradictions, anger, resiliency, profound insight, and radical hope.

With heightened levels of oppression, violence, and discrimination faced by LGBTQ Nigerians due to the Same Sex Marriage (Prohibition) Law, these voices remind us of what the queer community in Nigeria has always been fighting for - the freedom to be themselves, love themselves, and love each other, despite being viewed as unworthy. Love Offers No Safety is a heart-breaking yet hopeful reminder that love knows no boundaries and offers no safety, but it is worth fighting for.
