  Rex Devious -- Dr. Devious to meddlesome do-gooders everywhere -- can go toe-to-toe with superheroes without blinking an eye. So picking out a Christmas present for his new boyfriend should be no problem. After all, he and Sanjay seem perfect for each other. But with a terrible track record for finding gifts that won't scare his potential partners away, Rex is paralyzed with insecurity.
  Until, of course, he decides to change tactics. Instead of having to pick out that perfect present, why not just destroy Christmas altogether? It's perfect, and definitely the Devious thing to do! But with his nemeses -- and perhaps his conscience -- trying to stop him from ruining the beloved holiday, can he really become the supervillain who stole Christmas?

  Clay Tibor loves a wicked French heel, but not when the shoe is attached to a dead body sprawled on the floor of the shoe shop where he's working. Two weeks ago, the owner of the shop passed away, and Clay now works for his son, Nathan. Nathan might be hot, but he knows nothing about shoes. Clay wished it was his biggest problem, but shoe ignorance is a mere inconvenience compared to being accused of murder.
  
  
  Nathan's brother, who is technically co-owner of the shoe shop, is a cop who is convinced Clay did it. To increase his chances of having a proper alibi should something else happen, Clay would do best to stay glued to Nathan's side twenty-four-seven. Right?

  In Regency London, where proper behavior is de rigueur, Sir Rudoph Shaw anything but proper. Born to wealthy parents, he loses everything after his father dies when he is only fourteen years old and, now going by plain Rudy Shaw, he is forced to make his own way on the cruel streets of London.
  But Rudy's fortunes are changing. He runs into a childhood friend who pulls him back into the world of the rich and powerful, giving Rudy a second chance at the life he should have had. That is, if Rudy can keep his darkest secrets hidden from the world -- first, that he is only a lowly destitute laborer who has sold his body in the past to put food in his belly and, even more devastating if it is revealed, he prefers men in his bed. 
  Upon Rudy's debut back into the shining world of well-off Londoners, he learns the man whom he has been having a year-long affair with is none other than the affianced husband to his friend's cousin. If this secret gets out, Rudy will be ruined for sure. Can the two men stay away from each other? Or will their passion and love destroy them both?

  I Am Alien to Life - Selected...

  Djuna Barnes is rightly remembered for Nightwood, her breakthrough and final novel: a hallmark of modernist literature, championed by T. S. Eliot, and one of the first, strangest, and most brilliant novels of love between women to be published in the twentieth century. Barnes's career began long before Nightwood, however, with journalism, essays, drama, and satire of extraordinary wit and courage. Long into her later life, after World War II, when she published nothing more, it was her short fiction above all that she prized and would continue to revise. 
   
   
   
  Here are all the stories Barnes sought to preserve, in the versions she preferred, as well as a smattering of rarities as selected by critic and New Yorker contributor Merve Emre. These are tales of women "'tragique' and 'triste' and 'tremendous' all at once," of sons and daughters being initiated into the ugly comedy of life, monuments all to a worldview singular and scathing. As Emre writes in her foreword "[Barnes's] themes are love and death, especially in Paris and New York; the corruption of nature by culture; the tainted innocence of children; and the mute misery of beasts . . . her characters may be alien to life, but they are alive—spectacularly, grotesquely alive."

  Clover Rivers is completely, totally over her ex. 
   
    
   
  The four years since their breakup have made her stronger. Smarter. As an aspiring environmental scientist, Clover puts her faith in cold, hard data, and the data says there's no way anything good can come of messing around with a girl who already broke her heart. 
   
   
   
  Neavh Beaudoin is completely, totally still in love with Clover Rivers. 
   
   
   
  When a series of disasters lands her living on her cousin's couch—and back in the small island town she never thought she'd see again—Neavh is forced to confront the truth: leaving Clover behind was the biggest mistake of her life, and she'd give every star in the sky for another chance. 
   
   
   
   
  As cramped small town life makes it impossible to ignore the way the two women still spark like a wildfire, Clover realizes Neavh's reasons for leaving might not have been so straightforward, and the future she's planned for herself in the meantime might not fit as well as she thought. 
   
    
   
  The data suggests they're only in for another heartbreak, but every theory's got the tiniest chance to be proven wrong—especially when your last shot at love might depend on finally getting things right.
