Born This Way

Eve Morton

Sinopse

Jacob Matthews has gotten really sick of confessing his autobiography every time he meets someone new. Ever since coming out as a gay transgender man, Jacob feels as if no one really cares about who he is right now. Instead, they would much rather have access to his past and create another Lifetime movie out of it. The typical transgender narrative, Jacob notes, always ends in surgery or tragedy. It's been two years since Jacob's crossed the final marker to become who he is, and he's running out of options of what to do next.
The only way that Jacob can overcome his own backstory is by blending in. Every Tuesday Night, he heads out to the local gay club called Boy Division and watches gay men from the sidelines. But when Jacob hooks up with a stranger who understands him with just a simple look, Jacob soon realizes that blending into the walls no longer satisfies him.
Jacob soon runs into his old friends at the LGBT community center, where he is forced to reconsider his life beyond rainbow colors and poppy disco beats. In group therapy, Jacob is confronted by the harsh realities of being transgender, hate crime violence, and the dwindling offers for his future. Just before Jacob leaves, his favorite doctor makes him a bet: if Jacob can find someone to connect to, then she will renew his testosterone prescription without question or qualm. She urges him to find some type of community, even if it's not in the community center's brightly painted walls.
Jacob takes the bet, figuring he has nothing to lose but his happy ending that may -- or may not -- really exist. He becomes determined to find the mystery man from the club again, even if it means blowing his cover.

Turning Back

Katia Rose

Three Rivers Campground is calling you to come relax, explore, and maybe even fall in love . . . 
 
 
 
Trish Rivers lives a good life. A happy life. A safe and predictable life spent running the cafe at her family's campground, perfecting her award-winning recipes, and terrorizing the local small town bartender with her endless supply of bad jokes. Trish has never wanted more—or at least, she's never admitted she wants more, but that was before Kennedy March showed up on Vancouver Island. That was before Trish realized falling for your sister's girlfriend's best friend doesn't fit into a safe and predictable life, especially when you've never fallen for a girl before. 
 
 
 
Kennedy's not sure why life as a real estate star in Toronto doesn't feel quite as shiny as it used to, but a spontaneous vacation to visit her newly coupled-up best friend seems like the perfect opportunity to ignore the problem. Three weeks without client calls, benefit galas, and, most of all, dating apps is worth braving the woods for, but her plans for relaxation come crashing to a halt at the sight of Trish—the absolutely off-limits and definitely straight little sister of her best friend's new girlfriend. There's no path to each other that doesn't end in disaster, but the farther they go, the more Trish and Kennedy realize it might be too late to turn back.
