Summary

In these seven stories the mourning for the death of a lover is shown, an unfinished story. Prettier from above, the debut feature of Germán Donoso Coppa

These stories talk about death but also tell a world where HIV/AIDS is an unspoken epidemic that people want to think is over, even though it keeps on killing.

This is a love story, it is also a story of illness and death, but above all this is a love story.

Donoso Coppa’s writing shows a world with many overlapping veils, social class, gender, queerness and love to put together a cocktail that is sometimes hilarious, touching and several times hopeless. In the record of José Donoso and a kind of Lemebel without frills, Donoso Coppa’s pen manages to account for new and old problems of the LGBTQ+ scene.
Available since: 08/26/2022.

    Summer is a time of plenty, a time of excess. As the God of Summer, Cosmo has those in spades: Plenty of fear and an excess of guilt.  
    Abandoned by a cruel and absent father, judged and despised by his siblings, Cosmo has actually felt safer in the cursed centuries since his brother’s tragic death, telling himself he’s happy without his family, mingling with the mortals in his care and enjoying all the joys of summertime. He performs his duties to shepherd the season, drinks and smokes and warms his bed with anyone willing. 
    This time though, when he wakes, he comes face to face with his past. Literally. His brother is there. Auro, God of Spring, who he hasn’t seen in four hundred years. And he’s obviously lost his mind. He’s telling Cosmo there’s a way to break their curse, to be free of it—for the four of them to be together again. Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter. But there’s an icy cold shadow looming over Cosmo, and the curse is the only thing protecting him. 
    DAUNTLESS SUMMER is the steamy, sweaty, slow-burn second book in the Harmony of Seasons queer sword-and-sandal fantasy romance quartet.

    Emmalynn Gallagher threw caution to the wind once—and found herself in the middle of a tornado. Needless to say, she won't be doing that again. Now she fills her life with plans and to-do lists. Having moved home for a fresh start, Emma's facing the ultimate re-do list when she abruptly comes face to face with Aubrey Glass, the source of Emma's teenage yearning. 
     
     
     
    Aubrey wouldn't recognize yearning if it tornadoed into her face, but she does recognize Emma . . . even if she wishes she didn't. Socializing, especially with her past, is Aubrey's least favorite activity. She's tender in spots no one can see and would prefer to fade into the background. 
     
     
     
    Amidst the backdrop of towering shelves of books and the persistent aroma of freshly brewed coffee, Emma and Aubrey navigate their post-high school reunion. With plenty of fumbles and missteps, it doesn't seem likely that they'll manage to merge their paths, nor does it always seem that they want to . . . until suddenly, it's the only thing that makes sense to either one of them.

    A rookie. A veteran. And the reporter sent to cover baseball's hottest story. Bats, balls, pitchers, catchers all report to the field for a fun, sexy romp.
    
    He's the hottest prospect in baseball and he has a name to go along with it: Burn, the hot young son of a fire chief, who only dreams of playing in the major leagues. When he's drafted by the New Jersey Skyscrapers, Burn Silva is sent to gain some experience playing for the team's Single-A team, the Suns. What happens when a sexy, alluring creature like Burn hits the Florida heat?
    
    Max Castle is a veteran of the big leagues, but to prove he still has more to his game, he's accepted a minor league contract. His goal: get back to the show, and the only man in his way is Burn. Trouble is, the manager asked Max to teach Burn the nuances of the game, and their proximity leads to a shocking revelation.

For this sexually inhibited man, those discoveries will awaken a desire deep within him.
