Summary

Sequel to Gentlemen's Agreement

At the start of 1816, Luc Gerrard is summoned home to rural Essex from his sanctuary in the West Indies due to a dangerous downturn in his mother's health. When she recovers, Luc is determined to pick up his musical employment in London's theatres, concert halls and ballrooms.


He receives support and even friendship from a surprising source, the circle of gentlemen who spirited him away from certain arrest due to his connection with his former lover and Napoleonic plotter, James Beaufort.


Luc juggles his pride and finances while attempting to gain an orchestral position at Drury Lane Theatre for the upcoming spring Season. Bittersweet memories are revived when he inevitably meets his longtime companion and sometime lover, Harry Kent. However, charming, easy-going casual Harry seems changed by Luc's absence.


Can Luc re-establish his interrupted career with a little help from his new friends? And might he and Harry find a lasting connection?

    Professor Samuel Rodgers and grad student Alessandro "Alec" Carbone are as opposite as can be. Samuel is steady and quiet, Alec's flighty and loud. Samuel has wine occasionally, Alec can outdrink a frat house. Samuel struggles with public speaking, Alec considers the world his stage. Samuel wears tweed, and it's a good day if Alec wears pants.
    When Alec's visa expires before a job opens at the university, the least likely person in the world suddenly holds the solution to his problem. What's a green card marriage between coworkers, right? 
    Sam and Alec mix like oil and water, like encyclopedias and nudie mags, like tweed jackets and neon pants. Therapy doesn't help, living together through arguments suck, and faking it long enough for a green card to come seems impossible. 
    All Samuel has ever wanted is a husband and partner to spend forever with, but wild child Alec seems determined to keep barriers up between them, even as the deadline for the green card draws near. Is a shared love of piña coladas and unexpectedly intimate moments caught in the rain enough to keep the odd couple together when their differences seem too much to overcome and outside forces are working to tear them apart?

    As the daughter of two gay fathers in the '90s, Chelsea has always had a different outlook than some people. And yet, her message is one of universal importance—love is the most important force in the world. Through her moving and at times hilarious memoir, Chelsea reflects on how we are all much more similar than we are different. 
     
     
     
    Living "two doors down from normal," Chelsea quickly learned that society loves to put people in boxes, but these boxes do not always reflect how we feel about ourselves. Through Inexplicably Me, Chelsea works to bring people together in love and acceptance and to illustrate that, while her story may seem worlds away from others, we all strive for happiness and love. 
     
     
     
    From sharing the stage with President Obama when she was only eighteen years old, to her father spending her senior year of college in federal prison camp, to her biological mother dying of cancer when she was only fifty-six, Chelsea explores her painful and joyful experiences with the hope that listeners will find inspiration to face their own challenges and embrace their own joys.

    Two houses. Two Presidents. One hell of a happy ending.  
    Zeke 
    Being president of a frat house means everything is on my shoulders. 
    Idiot brothers, epic pranks, a list of organizational duties long enough to make my eyes bleed. 
    None of it fazes me. 
    But senior year is almost over, and I’m ready to take a step back. 
    Until the hazing rumors start. 
    I might not know where they’re coming from, but I know they’re total BS. 
    Now, instead of dialing back the stress, we’ve broken the number one rule on the row: Don’t get the dean’s attention. 
    I need to find out who’s driving the lies. 
    And all evidence points to one person. 
    Charles 
    I never wanted to become Kappa president. 
    The appointment was made easier, though, when none other than Zeke Ariston took over Sigma house. I’ve always been … drawn to him. Fascinated. 
    And maybe a little attracted too. 
    Pity I’ve never been more than an afterthought to him. 
    But when rumors start to circulate about hazing and the sources lead back to my house, it puts me square on Zeke’s radar. 
    I want to help him get to the bottom of it all. 
    And with his attention finally on me, I want to tell him how I feel. 
    The guys on Greek Row meet their chaotic conclusion with this rivals-to-lovers romance full of pranks, shared hoodies, and secret meetings made in the dark.

    Tim Leonard traded his old life in North Carolina for college in New York City, and that meant leaving behind his best friend Theo Cohen, along with all of the unspoken feelings that had built up between them in high school. Leo had to leave small-town life in his dust, even if that meant losing his crush.
    
    
    Now Leo is back in town, lured home by a high school reunion and more than a little by the desire to see Theo again. He hasn't heard from his old friend in five years, but the reunion may be their chance to reconnect. That is, of course, if Theo has been thinking about Leo for the past five years, too.
