  It only takes a few days for Ollie D'Angelo to lose his boyfriend, his job, and his home. Instead of mourning what he doesn't have, Ollie celebrates what he does: the freedom to pursue his real passion -- cooking. He begins Dinner at Home, a home-catering business, and it takes off.
  Late one night, Ollie catches Hank Mellinger, a streetwise hood down on his luck, about to rob his car. Ollie soon discovers that appearances aren't necessarily what they seem. Hank isn't a criminal caught red-handed, but a hungry young man trying to make a life for himself and the four-year-old niece he's trying desperately to take care of. 
  Instead of calling the cops, Ollie offers Hank a job and a way to pull himself up by his bootstraps. Together, they discover they can really cook ... and that their shared passion for food just might lead to a passion for each other.

  Literal Madness - 3 Novels:...

  A collection of three novels from the experimental feminist writer: “Literal Madness is Acker at her most powerful, disturbing, and provocative.” —Catherine Texier, author of Victorine 
   
  Kathy Goes to Haiti, the first of three novels in Literal Madness, “speaks to us out of a delightful mock-naivete that reminds one at times of the Dick and Jane readers rewritten as manuals for politics and sex . . . At once hilarious and terrifying, [it] has all the logic of a Caribbean tour and a nightmare combined” (Los Angeles Times). 
   
  My Death My Life by Pier Paolo Pasolini—wherein, among other things, the late Italian filmmaker solves his own murder, with the help of, among others, Romeo, Juliet, and the Bronté sisters—is a “scathing commentary on false values in art” (The Hartford Courant). 
   
  In the haunting Florida, Acker achieves “a nearly telegraphic reduction of the Bogart-Bacall movie Key Largo to fatalistic, tough-guy essentials” (Booklist). 
   
  “There’s a haunting method to Acker’s ‘madness’: a rough, raw, erudite wail against the postmodern loss of meaning and emotion.” —Kirkus Reviews

  Omega Hayden Leigh is having a rough day. Ten months ago, he got the opportunity of a lifetime when his script was chosen for a new stage production. The play opens in four months, and yesterday, Hayden saw the first advertisement for it, which tripled all the same worries he's had from day one -- what if he fails?
  Now all Hayden can think about is failure, and after today's horrible rehearsal, he's certain that's where he's headed. If he blows this chance, he may never get another one. What he really needs is to get this off his mind for a while. The best way to do that is a good night with Charlie, his Alpha. 
  Fortunately, tonight is the first night of their monthly date weekend, which means all of Charlie's attention should be on him. 
  Unfortunately, Charlie appears a little distracted by work tonight, and Hayden decides the best way to remedy that is with a little temptation. It works, of course, but there are always those pesky consequences that come from tempting his Alpha. 
  Oh, well. If this omega knows one thing, it's how to deal with those pesky consequences that come from tempting his Alpha. In fact, it's one of Hayden's most favorite things to deal with in the world.

  But as the dust settles after the attack, Tor learns that a new crisis is threatening the planet. As a result of the missile strike, the laboratories that manufacture omegas’ hormonal suppressants have been destroyed, which means that every single omega on Earth will soon be forced to go through a heat. 
   
  Tor is unwilling to abandon his fellow soldiers to twelve hours of agony. But fortunately, he has a level of knowledge about the heats that few alphas could match. With the powers-that-be turning their backs on omegas, Tor puts together a plan to help them through their heats – a plan so risky and unlawful it could not only end his career, but also destroy the reputations of every single person involved. 
   
  But only a fool expects such daring plans to go smoothly, and when Azure, Tor’s omega lover, gets dragged into the middle of the storm, Tor finds himself having to re-evaluate every social custom and moral value he believes in. 
   
  Tor and Azure's story began in Hurricane, and continues in Lava. Books are best read in order.
