Sinopse

Ben Mercer is an ex-cop, lamed, framed, and thrown off the force for a crime his partner committed. Now homeless, he has no expectations for a better life until he's recruited by Durand, head of Vanguard Security, to join a team that deals with problems the police can't or won't touch. All Ben needs is the approval of the team leader, Zach Turner.
To get it, Ben has to prove to Zach that he still retains his skills as a sniper, and that he can handle any job thrown at him, despite the still painful damage to his knee. He does, and is immediately pulled into a job with the team, rescuing a kidnap victim. 
Ben had one big secret, or did have until Durand drew it out of him. Before his life was drastically changed he had denied, even to himself, that he was gay. Now that he's accepted it, and learned that Zach is as well, can the two men forge a bond beyond that of being teammates and friends? It will take several more jobs before Ben gets his answer.

    After losing his lover in a tragic motorcar accident, Leslie Atwater goes about the motions but doesn't really feel alive. Not without Edward. In a time where "one of us" was a euphemism for being gay, Leslie and Edward managed to live a quiet, private life together, but nothing prepares Leslie for a world without his partner.
    During the day, Leslie works as a clerk in a modest bookshop in central London. By night, he's an air raid warden in his district responsible for the safety of his "flock." In an effort to feel closer to Edward, Leslie spends evenings in his flat reviewing Edward's portfolio of sketches. Edward had worked as a freelance artist, and his depiction of Londoners surviving in the midst of World War II appeared daily in The Globe .
    While reviewing the drawings, Leslie discovers irregularities in the sketches from Edward's final assignment which he simply can't explain. He begins to question what he was told about Edward's death, and his investigation leads him down a tangled trail from the center of London to the coast of Great Britain. 
    Tension mounts and nothing is what it seems. In a showdown with German spies at a lighthouse overlooking the English Channel, bombs fall, people die, and Leslie gets more than he bargains for in his search for the truth behind his lover's untimely death.

    Sometimes it's the little cases. 
     
     
     
    Not every minute of being a detective is spent solving huge murder cases. Sometimes it's the little ones that take up Detective Young's life, like the seventy-year-old cold case that suddenly fell into his lap or figuring out if a death was suicide or murder. 
     
     
     
    Lance spends most of his time working cases that no one hears about. The unattended deaths of those not under a doctor's care take up most of his time. Now that he can speak to ghosts, some of those cases are the most interesting. Work isn't all that is keeping him busy—his brother's girlfriend has shown up in need of his help, and he can't refuse when she'd helped him so much in the past. 
     
     
     
    Life is never boring for Lance and Angus, and though work pulls them both in different directions, they always seem to meet up somewhere in the middle of things. Sometimes it feels like if murder and death didn't bring them together, they'd never get time together at all.

    Henry Gerber was the father of American gay liberation. 
    Born in 1892 in Germany, Henry Gerber was expelled from school as a boy and lost several jobs as a young man because of his homosexual activities. He emigrated to the United States and enlisted in the army for employment. After his release, he explored Chicago’s gay subculture: cruising Bughouse Square, getting arrested for “disorderly conduct,” and falling in love. He was institutionalized for being gay, branded an “enemy alien” at the end of World War I, and given a choice: to rejoin the army or be imprisoned in a federal penitentiary. 
    Gerber re-enlisted and was sent to Germany in 1920. In Berlin, he discovered a vibrant gay rights movement, which made him vow to advocate for the rights of gay men at home. He founded the Society for Human Rights, the first legally recognized US gay-rights organization, on December 10, 1924. 
    When police caught wind of it, he and two members were arrested. He lost his job, went to court three times, and went bankrupt. Released, he moved to New York, disheartened. 
    Later in life, he joined the DC chapter of the Mattachine Society, a gay-rights advocacy group founded by Harry Hay who had heard of Gerber’s group, leading him to found Mattachine.  
    An Angel in Sodom is the first and long overdue biography of the founder of the first US gay rights organization.

    Jake Patt, bar manager of Smooth, is looking for the guy of his dreams this steamy-hot July, minus the local drunks and bad boys. So far he hasn't had much luck. Maybe Pittsburgh just is too small and he needs to think bigger.
    To Jake's surprise, a handsome man walks into Smooth. Doing his job, Jake serves him his beer and learns his name and what he does for a living: Kailin Boost, a visiting bridge inspector. The two hit off well and spend the evening together. 
    Kailin is worth some good laughs and has a lot of charm, and there's nothing at all boring about the man. Before Jake realizes it, the bridge inspector spends more evenings at the bar, and Jake feels he might just have gained a boyfriend. When Kailin invites him to a Fourth of July party, fireworks begin to happen and he starts falling for Kailin. 
    With good things come the bad -- at least this is what Jake has learned in life. Enter Kailin's problematic baggage, Michael Benz. Michael's a world-traveling model with lots of muscle and money and a hardcore case of lust for Kailin. Which man will end up with Kailin, the average guy running a gay bar or a good-looking model with loads of money?

    Noah is a tester of fully immersive video games, and one of the best, though his personality makes him rather difficult to work with. In fact, his only friend (and serious crush) is his manager, Malik. And when Noah suspects that Mal has been working with someone else, he crosses a line that could ruin even that.
    It turns out that both men might be keeping their share of secrets, and it might take a very special game for them to be able to open up. With everything on the line, though, can Noah level up his game and find a way to show to Malik exactly how he feels, or will it be game over for his career and his romantic aspirations?
