Summary

Once a beautiful sunflower pageant queen, Jenny Parks now suffers from Alzheimer's in her early fifties. She gardens and reads, but struggles with the piano. Some days are good. More days are bad.
Of course, her three adult children are of no help regarding her condition. Her oldest son Keaton is retired from professional football and spends all his time being immature. He carelessly spends his hard-earned money and has a playful time with his friends. Then there's Steven, Jenny's middle son, who chooses to live in a bizarre cult in Idaho and wears a black bonnet. And Jenny's youngest son, Benson ... well, she hasn't seen him in decades, and for good reason. 
Thank goodness she has her best friend and lover, Cara Dixon, to care for her. Sweet, charming, and vampire/mystery writer Cara. What would Jenny do without her? Cara is her life, soul, and mind. She's Jenny's lifeline these days, and her heart. 
When Jenny requests a short visit to her family's cabin north of Pittsburgh, Cara agrees to take her. There some of Jenny's memories return, but emotional breakdowns occur, and Miss Sunflower might just lose her crown -- and mind -- for good. Can Cara help now?

    Warm, funny, and delectably swoony—a second-chance romance with found family, a chaotic deli dog named Pastrami, and all the comfort-food you could ever want. 
     
    Sam Adelson has spent over a decade pouring his heart into Silverman's Deli, the beloved Cleveland institution his family has run for seventy-five years. So when a scathing review tanks his business, Sam develops some strong feelings about the critic responsible. Fantasies involving expired clam juice may be involved. 
     
    Then Jake Thompson walks through the door—Sam's first love, the one who got away. Reconnecting after twelve years feels like coming home, and having Jake around makes even the chaos of saving the deli feel manageable. But Sam’s fought to move on from the disaster that tore them apart, and now pretending it never happened is becoming more impossible every day. 
     
    As Sam falls harder than he ever meant to, Jake's past begins to catch up with both of them. Some recipes are worth perfecting, even when the first attempt was a disaster—Sam just hopes this one doesn't blow up in his face... 
     
    Perfect for fans of Casey McQuiston and TJ Klune. Second Helpings is a male x male contemporary romance, featuring: 
    - Second Chance Romance 
    - Surprise neighbors (Again) 
    - Slow Burn, mild spice + lots of sexy pining

    Three Black gay millennial men look for love, friendship, and professional success in the Motor City in this hilarious and touching debut novel. Suddenly jobless and single after a devastating layoff and a breakup with his cheating ex, advertising copywriter Dominick Gibson flees his life in Hell’s Kitchen for a fresh start in his hometown of Detroit. He’s got one objective—exit the shallow dating pool ASAP and get married by thirty-five—and the deadline’s approaching fast.  Meanwhile, Dom’s best friend, Troy Clements, an idealistic teacher who never left Michigan, finds himself at odds with all the men in his life: a troubled boyfriend he’s desperate to hold onto, a perpetually dissatisfied father, and his other friend, Remy Patton. Remy, a rags-to-riches real estate agent known as “Mr. Detroit,” has his own problems—namely choosing between making it work with a long-distance lover or settling for a local Mr. Right Now who’s not quite Mr. Right. And when a high-stakes real estate deal threatens to blow up his friendship with Troy, the three men must figure out how to navigate the pitfalls of friendship and a city that seems to be changing overnight.  Full of unforgettable characters, Boys Come First is about the trials and tribulations of real friendship, but also about the highlights and hiccups—late nights at the wine bar, awkward Grindr hookups, workplace microaggressions, situationships, frenemies, family drama, and of course, the group chat—that define Black, gay, millennial life in today’s Detroit.
