An Uncommon Alignment

Ellie Thomas

Sinopse

Sequel to An Increasing Entanglement
After the adventures of the spring of 1808 in Regency London, while beginning to fall in love, Clem Metcalfe, Abe Pengelly, and Humphrey Atkinson have the entire summer to consolidate their romantic relationship. 
But change is already afoot. Abe has distanced himself from his criminal past, now gainfully employed at the military headquarters of Horse Guards, sifting through valuable information to further the cause of the long war against France. Humphrey, at the whim of his beloved Aunt Cece, might have to depart from London and his lovers for the countryside together with the rest of high society. And Clem is studying hard for his longed-for reinstatement at Oxford University in the autumn, which will inevitably mean leaving his lovers at a distance. 
While the trio juggles their everyday routines, a shadow from the past reappears to threaten their harmony. Can Clem, Abe, and Humphrey thwart their mutual enemy for good? And might they finally have a chance to reach their happy ever after?

A Crushing Walk in Cornwall

Nicholas George

For retired San Diego detective Rick “Chase” Chasen, week-long walks in the English countryside are an enjoyable new pastime. But sometimes these outings take deadly detours …
Chase is disappointed that his partner Mike won’t be joining him on his tour of the rocky Cornish coast—but like long-distance walks, long-distance relationships can require an occasional break. He still has his friend Billie for company, though, and a few more fellow Americans, from a New Orleans restaurateur to a New York travel writer, joining them on their jaunt.
When the group hears before their departure that local landowners have been sabotaging the trail with booby-traps, their walk leader dismisses it as rumor—but some in the group are worried, especially after a terrifying incident on a bridge the very next morning. As they bravely continue their expedition, twelve-year-old chatterbox Ivy, who’s already spilled some of her mother’s secrets, continues gossiping to Chase about the group members. She’s been researching online and thinks they’re not all as they seem. When one of them nearly plunges to her death during a visit to a 16th-century castle, Ivy’s sure a killer walks among them.
That turns out to be a real possibility when the near miss is followed by a suspicious death during a meal break. Did a Cornish property owner take a prank too far? And is Ivy just a drama-obsessed internet addict, or is ignoring her warnings a fatal misstep? If murder is truly afoot, Chase will have to rely on his investigative wits to trip the killer up.

Filthy Bromance

R. Cayden

It's totally normal for two straight guys to do this when they're alone, right? 
 
 
 
That's what I keep telling myself after I meet Reggie. I'm a pro tennis player, and I usually spend my life on the court. But an embarrassing injury in the middle of the US Open sidelined my career, landing me in the hands of my new athletic trainer. 
 
 
 
Reggie is a big old jock with an easy smile, and my grumpy butt has never met anyone like him. We start hanging—at the gym and at his place, on the tennis court and out at the bar. I haven't had a real friend in years, and Reggie's big heart warms me deep inside. He finds something I've tried to keep buried, and when we end up sweaty in a hotel bed one night, my world turns upside down. 
 
 
 
Then comes the cabin weekend, and all the long massages at the gym . . . Reggie gets his big hands all over me, and I can't stop thinking about him. It's chill, though, because we're a couple of straight guys, and this is just a bromance. 
 
 
 
A sweaty, grunty, sticky bromance. 
 
 
 
It can't be more than that, not with my tennis career waiting—and no matter what my heart insists. 
 
 
 
Contains mature themes.
