Sinopse

A Poetry Book Society Recommendation
Inheritance is a profoundly moving exploration of what is passed down by our forebearers, what is left behind when we lose someone, and what we learn from being loved. Jasmine Cooray holds our most fiercely-guarded myths to the light, refracted through second-generation diaspora, family legend and life-changing loss. Her poems embrace both the quiet and the storms within. They sing of self-belief rising to the surface as drowning feels imminent, of desire and how it can cultivate hope. This is a timeless debut: wise, wild and empowering, a lodestar for survival.
"A strident, playful language dance through life's more challenging parts, always towards something transcendent." Anthony Joseph, Sonnets for Albert, Winner of the 2022 T.S. Eliot Prize
"Intimate, vulnerable, poignant and provocative. Inheritance is a stunning debut brimming with tenderness, authenticity and heart."  Salena Godden, Mrs Death Misses Death

    Two incurable bachelors, one incredible journey. 
     
     
     
    Jagger Jackson hides behind a sexy playboy veneer, hoping people see him as a man who doesn't believe in love rather than one who doesn't deserve it. Miller Brexler's carefree bachelorhood is the perfect lifestyle for him, or so he's convinced himself and everyone around him. 
     
     
     
    Can two imperfect men make a perfect fit? 
     
     
     
    JJ and Miller are brought together when their best friends meet and fall in love. Though they try to resist one another, the attraction sparking between them refuses to be ignored. What starts as "just sex" could become so much more if JJ can come to terms with his painful past, and Miller is willing to admit that love may be the missing piece in his seemingly perfect life. Will these two stubborn hearts admit they might've been wrong about love, or will they allow the chance at true happiness to slip away?

    When Devon Gangon learns he's supposed to train a new employee at the grocery store chain where he's a stock boy, he's not expecting someone like Jace Perez. Jace is shy but talkative about all the right things, like his interest in Devon and Devon's favourite punk band, Nine Volt Start. Over the course of a few weeks, they become closer and closer, and their stray touches finally build up to a tryst in the back room.
    So when Nine Volt Start announces a reunion tour, Devon thinks Jace is the perfect person to go with him. But Jace states he'd much rather keep work friends separate from his normal, daily life, leaving Devon in the cold. Without Jace, or his brother Terry's help, Devon's left wondering if his life idolizing a band and not doing anything with his degree has been worthwhile. Can both find a reason to take themselves seriously before time runs out?

    Sequel to Rival
    While the other members of glam rock sensation The Rade indulge in public affairs and flirtations, bass player and soulful lyricist John has kept himself to himself. He's had no end of offers, seeing as he's the heart of the band (and stacked like a brick wall), but since losing his mortal lover, no one has sparked his interest. After all, to a centuries-old shapeshifter-fae, most people's lives are just too short for him to risk his heart on them. 
    Then he meets someone who captures his attention as well as his long-buried protective instincts. Venkat, a shy but brilliantly talented energy vampire and classical violinist, is just coming off a triumphant US tour. He and John bond immediately over their love of music and blossoming mutual attraction. But Venkat has a past, one that seems to give his fae manager Red an unbreakable hold on Venkat's violin and life. And Red isn't above using it to keep him isolated and under his power. 
    John and Venkat know the future could be theirs. But the road to freedom will lead directly through the darkest places in both their pasts.

    For the men in this collection, love begins as an illusion. Haunted by their pasts, their presents, and their futures, each one is not quite sure where they are in life ... until they meet the person who finally lives up to the ideal.

For each man, finding their partner -- be it a stranger at a pool, a stripper, or even their Secret Santa match -- is a long chase that's definitely worth the happy ending.
