  Charting one boy’s search for companionship amidst violence and isolation in the mid-century rural South, with a new foreword from National Book Award winner Justin Torres. 
    
  Nathan’s used to being alone. Drifting from town to town following his salesman father, he seeks solace in his studies when he can’t find understanding in his own home; his father is abusive and an alcoholic and his mother would rather disappear into the background than protect him. 
    
  Enter Roy. The older boy next door might have a girlfriend at school and at church, but there’s no question that they’re drawn to one another, and the two quickly become entangled in a covert relationship. As their relationship intensifies, Roy and Nathan must navigate their fears of being caught and their growing desires for one another. But when Nathan’s dad begins to suspect Nathan and Roy’s relationship is more than just friendship, Nathan’s home ceases to be safe, forcing Nathan to run away and altering his life, relationships, and future. 
    
  Through lyrical and evocative writing, Grimsley explores violence, tenderness, trauma, religion, and queer love against the backdrop of the 1950s rural South. 
    
  “Romantic passion, violence and ultimate liberation coalesce in this singular display of literary craftsmanship.”—Publishers Weekly

  Leighton Voss arrives on Echo Island, drawn by reports of strange occurrences which have disrupted its once tranquil serenity. As an investigative journalist with a passion for uncovering hidden stories, Leighton hopes to uncover the truth behind the island's mysteries, something that might offer the clarity she's been seeking, both in her career and her personal life. What she doesn't expect is to become entangled in a mystery that feels far more personal and unsettling than anything she's chased before.
  While exploring the island's jagged cliffs, Leighton stumbles upon a hidden passage that leads her to a world frozen in time -- a vintage village suspended in the past and a woman named Audrey, whose quiet sadness seems to hold the key to the island's strange happenings. Audrey's elegance and mysterious presence immediately draw Leighton in, and as the two grow closer, Leighton finds herself deeply immersed in the enigma surrounding Audrey and the island. 
  Caught between the need to uncover the truth and her growing, undeniable feelings for Audrey, Leighton is forced to face an impossible choice. There may be a way out of the cycle that has entrapped the island, but escaping it could mean losing the woman she's come to care for. As the tension between the promise of freedom and her emotional attachment to Audrey intensifies, Leighton must confront how much she's willing to sacrifice -- not just for her own future, but for the woman who has captured her heart.

  Gordon is a nerdy forensic pathologist who enjoys talking to the corpses in the morgue. Oh, and he’s a vampire. The corpses—and his lab assistants—have been enough for Gordon for a very long time, but every now and then, Gordon wonders what he might find if he ventured outside his comfort zone. 
  Adler considers himself a pretty normal homicide detective, except of course he turns into a wolf once a month. He can trust his instincts, and they tell him that nerdy, vampiric, and smart is what he needs, both in wolf and human form. The only question is, how to win the heart of a doctor who mostly talks to corpses? 
  Can those two make it work in a world that has gotten used to vampires and werewolves, but maybe not so much to one of each dating? They will have to figure that out while working together to solve a string of copycat murders and keep their city safe. 
  The Doctor’s Wolf takes you along to murder scenes, so there is blood and violence. Domestic abuse is discussed.

  As a teenager, Sebastian Barrett found himself pulled into a fantasy realm, where he helped the beautiful young Elf King Eirian save the world. Twenty years later, it's 1984, and Sebastian's thirty-five years old, working in a thoroughly boring insurance office, living a perfectly ordinary life, and trying to pretend his memories of magic and adventure -- and his feelings for Ri -- were never real. And that's when the Elf King walks into his office.
  Eirian has a problem. In fact, he has a missing magical sword. Ri has traced it to a location in the human realm -- precisely where Sebastian lives. Ri could use some help navigating this new world, even if that means confronting the human who left his realm and broke his heart, two decades ago.
  On the quest for the Elf King's sword, Sebastian and Ri will face goblins, a Witch, 1980s suburbia, and their own enchanted past ... and the desires that pull them back together now.

  The search for love is hard enough without the meddling of well-meaning family members. Low self-esteem, childhood trauma, PTSD and jealousy can derail a relationship faster than a bathroom quickie, and then there's the not-so-helpful mother or baby brother who just wants everyone to be happy, already.
  This box set contains eight of J.D. Walker's best-selling MM romances, including: 
  
  Crank Me Up: Marius tolerates Xavier only because his daughter is best friends with Xavier's niece. But when Uncle Cranky insults his intelligence, Marius snaps back. Xavier surprises him by offering an apology and an invitation to dinner. Marius decides to give Xavier another chance, and they end up with a lot more than they bargained for.
  
  Crank Me Down: Xavier McDay and Marius Rabineaux have been together for a year, and Marius wants to take things to the next level -- marriage. Sherie and Tonya, Marius' daughter and Xavier's niece, are definitely rooting for the men, too. When Marius proposes, Xavier happily accepts. Now all they have to do is find a house for four, plan the wedding, and survive the honeymoon.
  
  Because of Sam: Martin Wesley leads a stressful life, but when he suddenly becomes the caregiver for his only niece, Samantha Wesley, something has to give. Daycare worker, Ryan Gentles, is a lifesaver, and as he learns how to be a parent, Martin finds his heart being pulled in two directions. Now, he has to choose between his job or a love and family he never thought possible.
  
  Truck Me How I Like It: Derrick Choi needs release in the worst way, especially after the kind of day he's had. When he decides to unwind at a favorite club, he encounters the manager from one of his delivery stops and sees him in a whole new light. Paul Fontana is older and just plain hot. When these two men get up close and personal, they find out there could be more than a one-night stand in their future. Maybe.
  
  Truck Me Back to Normal: Joey just wants to find his new normal now that he's back on his feet, thanks to his brother. But Bear, his new boss, is distracting, and Joey doesn't know what to do with the attraction he hasn't felt in so long. So, he ignores it. That, however, doesn't stop Bear from trying to convince Joey to take a chance on them, no matter what.
  
  Of Paws and Pet Rocks: Barry Dunning is a lonely pet groomer and painter of rocks. He's been burned badly by an ex-boyfriend who left him with tons of debt. Then Sheldon Svenson, the owner of the animal shelter where Barry volunteers on weekends, asks him out on a date. It ends badly, but Sheldon pursues Barry and convinces him to give them another chance. Maybe this time, they'll get it right.
  
  Grateful for You: Jared Gillespie left home five years ago because his boyfriend, Walt Schneider cheated on him. With a woman. What he doesn't realize is that Walt, the man he still loves was trying to tell him something, which Jared figures out after his mother convinces him to come home for Thanksgiving. Harsh truths are revealed and second chances become possible. Something to be grateful for.
