Sinossi

Love Offers No Safety: Nigeria's Queer Men Speak is a raw and powerful collection of 25 first-person narratives that explore the diverse experience of queer Nigerian men. These stirring stories cut across age, class, religion, ethnicity, family and relationships, offering a glimpse into what it means to survive as a queer man in Nigeria. From Tunji, who takes us back to the thriving networking community before social media, to Chukwori, who struggles to reconcile his need to serve God with his sexuality, and Abdulkarim, who frustratingly wonders if he'll ever stop working twice as hard to be accepted, these stories are full of contradictions, anger, resiliency, profound insight, and radical hope.

With heightened levels of oppression, violence, and discrimination faced by LGBTQ Nigerians due to the Same Sex Marriage (Prohibition) Law, these voices remind us of what the queer community in Nigeria has always been fighting for - the freedom to be themselves, love themselves, and love each other, despite being viewed as unworthy. Love Offers No Safety is a heart-breaking yet hopeful reminder that love knows no boundaries and offers no safety, but it is worth fighting for.

    Hatred often walks in disguise. 
     
    Rival MMA fighters Ty Roscoe and Luca Mitchell have been battling for the top spot in the rankings for years. Evenly matched in skill and constantly stripping each other of number one, the rivalry continues to grow and extend outside the cage. Knowing just how to push each other's buttons, a deep hatred shadows their shared goal of becoming the best fighters they can be. And when an opportunity comes knocking to train at an elite MMA gym, they each think they'll leave the other behind once and for all. 
     
    But when they end up at the same gym, under the same coach, the tension only rises. As they are forced to work as teammates, the battle for dominance is only amplified. They each have something the other needs, and the more time they spend training on the mats and in the boxing ring, they now realize they aren't fighting each other . . . they're fighting something else. 
     
    Their dynamic morphs, the tension evolves, and the hate drops its mask. They know everything there is to fight each other. But now, they have so much more to learn.Submission was never in the cards. 
    But outside the cage, will the gloves finally drop? 
     
    Contains mature themes.

    Moving to the sleepy town of Havens Hallow, Massachusetts, during my senior year hadn't been part of my future plans. Not to mention the ancient house my father bought sits next to the creepiest place imaginable—a graveyard full of battered stone statues. It's a far cry from the upper-middle class neighborhood we left behind. 
     
     
     
    That wasn't the only thing I had to walk away from. My position as the star quarterback of my old team has now been replaced with a not-so-cozy spot on the sideline. With a football scholarship on the line, I can't afford to be benched. But my grades are in the trash and my mood is buried somewhere beneath the soil of my new personal nightmare. 
     
     
     
    I need help, and fast. August Sanders, a classmate in my new school, volunteers to tutor me. As much as my bruised ego hates it, I can't turn down the offer. 
     
     
     
    However, he forgot to mention a pretty important detail that sends shivers through every cell in my body. 
     
     
     
    August isn't a student. Not anymore. He's not even made of flesh and bone. And apparently I'm the only person who's been able to see him in more than three years.

    Michael McCabe doesn't take vacations—especially not after nearly losing his brother to a psychotic arsonist. But when an explosion rocks his enforced getaway in Tahiti, the off-duty SWAT officer is pulled into a crisis that looks like far more than bad luck. 
     
    Alex Kessler came to the islands to scatter his late wife's ashes—a final step in a grieving process that's consumed him for a year and a half. The last thing he expects is to be swept into danger . . . or into the guarded orbit of a man like Michael. 
     
    When the threat follows them back home to Seattle, survival means trust—and what began as a single violent incident spirals into something deeper: secret files, hidden agendas, and a classified operation known only as Project Asphodel. 
     
    As the danger escalates, so does their connection—raw, unexpected, and impossible to ignore. Sometimes what happens in Tahiti doesn't stay there. Sometimes, it follows you home. 
     
    Contains mature themes.

    A queer human rights lawyer with a shattered heart believes she’s found true love again—until a hidden past of devotion and deception threatens to break her all over again. 
    Ivy 
    I told myself I’d never let love wreck me again. I’ve been there—torn apart, left questioning everything. I had it once, back in college, with the girl I thought I’d spend forever with. And when it ended, I promised myself I wouldn’t fall like that again. But here I am, years later, still chasing connection, still pretending I don’t want something real. 
    And then I meet Adam. 
    Adam 
    Look at her. Ivy. My first love. I’ve always been here, watching her chase after love and lose it. I was never the right man for her—until now. When we matched on a dating app, I told myself it had to be fate. Maybe convincing her will take time, but I’ve been waiting for years. What’s a little longer? 
    Ivy 
    I don’t believe in fate. But I do believe in second chances. And maybe, just maybe, Adam is one of them. Just as I start to let my guard down, just as I start to believe in this, I find out there’s more to our story than I ever knew. Adam’s been hiding something—something that ties us together in ways I never imagined. 
    His devotion to me is overwhelming. So is the betrayal I feel when I learn the truth. Now I have to figure out if I can forgive him—and if he’s willing to fight for a love that was never as simple as I thought. 
    When Ivy Met Adam is a contemporary LGBTQ+ romance about confronting the past, healing old wounds, and taking a chance on love—even when it terrifies you. Loosely inspired by the biblical story of Eve, it’s full of second chances, steamy moments, and the messy, beautiful complexities of the heart.

    When legendary folk singer Lara Fairplay agrees to make her comeback debut at Pirate’s Cove’s annual maritime music festival, everyone in the quaint seaside village is delighted—including mystery bookstore owner and sometimes amateur sleuth, Ellery Page. 
    Better yet, Lara is scheduled to perform a recently discovered piece of music attributed to “The Father of American Music,” Stephen Foster, which will hopefully bring large crowds and a lot of business. 
    Several mysterious accidents later, Ellery is less delighted as his suspicion grows that someone plans to silence the celebrity songbird forever.
