Sinopse

Nineteen-year-old Joe has been living on the streets since escaping from a sex-trafficking ring. When a blizzard hits the city, he takes a chance, accepting Derek Clarke's offer of a place to stay for the night. It wouldn't have happened if Derek hadn't been doing a stake-out in the alley at just the right time and taken pity on Joe.


The blizzard leaves the two men housebound for the next few days, and they begin to bond as Derek teaches Joe some of what being a private detective involves.


Loath to let Joe return to the streets when the weather clears, Derek offers him a job as his apprentice, while allowing him to continue staying in his guestroom.


Can their relationship grow from friendship to more, in spite of traumas in their pasts, or will Joe's fear of physical commitment ultimately drive them apart?

    Kidnapping isn't as exciting as it's made out to be, especially not when your unhinged ex is doing the kidnapping.
    All Noel Chance wanted was to leave the boring Christmas party he was attending and go home to pet his Siamese fighting fish, Fluffers, and cuddle up in bed with his overprotective boyfriend, Detective Bo Nicholas. Waking up tied to a chair in a cold room was never part of the plan.
    What does his ex want? For them to stage a rescue and for Noel to turn him into a hero via Noel's true crime podcast. Noel doesn't see another way out, so he plays along while plotting his escape.
    Luck is on Noel's side, and he manages to escape, only to realize he's in the middle of nowhere, running on his socks in the snow, and his ex has not only stolen his shoes but also the key to his apartment. Fluffers is in danger, Noel can feel it in his too-cold bones. Will he make it back into town in time to save his fish?

    Arlo Rook has decided it’s time to move out of Garren Castle, home for orphans of all races, magical or not, at 100 years old. 
    It’s not the first time he’s left home, but a setback landed the Hedge Witch in the hospital a year ago, and subsequently back to square one. Now he's ready to strike out on his own, despite his friend’s worries he's not ready. 
    Thatch Phantom is an immortal, the last of his kind and perpetually bored. When he’s not closing interdimensional rifts and corralling trouble in the universe, he’s visiting his favorite city of all, Levena. No one remembers him, but he's made an everlasting impact on the city nonetheless. 
    Long ago, he set up an anonymous scavenger hunt for the starving village, providing them with a year’s worth of supplies. He upped the ante each year, providing less practical things, as the village had become a city and was wealthy beyond belief. Festivals are thrown in his honor to this day, or a version of him, that is. 
    Thatch has decided to throw a wild card into this year’s Game. Whoever discovers his true identity will win one wish of their choice, no restrictions. Aside from the obvious, such as no falling in love, murder or resurrection. 
    Arlo crashes into the mess of copper curls and bright eyes, who throws apothecary goods and his life into a chaotic mess. It certainly wasn’t the first they met, but Arlo doesn’t remember him. Thatch, however, never forgot the Witch with a familiar soulmark on his face. 
    What follows is a hilarious and wholesome series of events that teases the immortal with the one thing he wants most. 
    Someone to call home.

    "Honest, authentic, heartbreaking and healing. I devoured it in one day."—Jenny Lawson, #1 New York Times bestselling author     Bestselling author Wade Rouse finds solace with his dying father through their shared love of baseball in this poignant, illuminating memoir of family and forgiveness.Before his success in public relations, his loving marriage and his storied writing career, Wade Rouse was simply Ted Rouse's son. A queer kid in a conservative Ozarks community, Wade struggled at a young age to garner his father's approval and find his voice. For his part, Ted was a hard-lined engineer, offering little emotional support or encouragement. But Wade and Ted had one thing in common: an undying love of the St. Louis Cardinals.For decades, baseball offered Wade and his father a shared vocabulary—a way to stay in touch, to connect and to express their emotions. But when his father's health takes a turn for the worst, Wade returns to southwest Missouri to share one final season with his father. As the Cards race towards a dramatic pennant race, Wade and his father begin to open up in way they never thought possible.  Together, inning by inning during their own magic season, they'll move towards forgiveness, reconciliation, and peace.Heartfelt, hilarious and lovingly rendered, Magic Season is an unforgettable story of love, family and forgiveness against the backdrop of America's favorite pastime.

    How was I supposed to know they’d end up being my teachers?

    He doesn’t do his students. And he doesn’t do relationships. It’s the only way he knows to protect his broken heart.  
    Professor Everett is the sweetest. 
    But what else could I expect from this attractive bear? If only he wasn’t so desperately in love with his best friend. 
    Is there space in their bed and hearts for me? Or am I just the wedge between the two friends with benefits?

    Jeke is from a simple farm village, on a trip with several other families to see the big city. Along the way, they're ambushed by outlaws, and Jeke and another boy named Willard are the only survivors. A party of elves saves the two wounded humans, taking them back to their village to recover.
    Life amongst the elves is tough. The one bright spot for Jeke is an elf named Imbryl, who looks about Jeke's age. He isn't, and coldly informs Jeke of this when Jeke tries to make friends. But there is clear attraction between them, in spite of the tension and the fact that Imbryl would be disowned were anything to happen between them.
    Yet a relationship begins to form as they come to terms with their differences and prejudices. Soon it will be time for Jeke and Willard to return to their own people. Will Jeke ever see Imbryl again? Do they dare take any steps down a path from which it would be tough to return?
