  Former model-turned-actor Adrian Lee can barely list age range 23–29 on his résumé anymore, nor stand his life of empty social events and appearances, meaningless roles, and casual partners. When he meets Alexander Skizetsky by clever arrangement of his agent, the enigmatic yet infinitely attractive Russian kindles a little light of hope in his aching heart. Yet even the beginnings of a friendship and love beyond his wildest dreams cannot stop a life spiraling out of control.
  
  
  The long estrangement from his devout Irish Catholic parents and family and the dark secrets they all share combine to drive Adrian to the brink of despair, though Alexander becomes determined to stay by his side. After locking away his own memories of betrayal and loss, Lexx had decided never to love again, but something in Adrian spurs the noblest intentions in his formerly jaded heart.
  
  
  Returning in pilgrimage to Alexander's homeland, on a journey of rebirth, revelation, and redemption, can they escape the ghosts of their pasts to find true love together?
  
  
  NOTE: This book contains references to childhood sexual assault that might disturb some readers.

  Encounters With Men is a searching memoir as only Bob Ostertag could tell it. In these pages are a lifetime of intimacies and distances, moments with fathers and teachers, friends and lovers, soldiers, cops, and criminals— even one of the great mass murderers of the late twentieth century.
  
  
  Bob Ostertag writes of the men he has known in stories shot through with deep love and deep violence, sex often at the core. Here, we encounter the worst of the AIDS epidemic and the best of human behavior. Fittingly, the final encounter occurs exclusively online, a stark yet compelling portrait of the new sex work in the digital age.
  
  
  Like encounters with bears, except with men.

  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.

  Sparks fly when a meticulous head chef falls for her captivating new hire. 
  Valentina Rosas has always known what she wants. Mostly. Sort of. At least, she does now. And what she wants is the coveted staging role at Gia, San Francisco. With four years at the top of her class in culinary school and enough tenacity to fuel the entire Mission, no one doubts she is about to land the job of her dreams—including the three-person cheer squad made up of her best friend and adorably overbearing parents. 
  Renowned chef Jenn Coleman is not a people person. Her rise to the top of the culinary industry stems from a cultivated blend of top-tier schooling—from her nonna—and bouts of carefully managed misanthropy. Owning and operating two Michelin starred restaurants doesn’t leave time for much else anyway. Just ask her ex. 
  When the new stage at her restaurant trips into her with all the grace of a baby giraffe, it’s a sure recipe for disaster. But for all of Jenn’s reserve, Valentina has twice the allure, and the chemistry between them is just… chef’s kiss. 
  If only Jenn wasn’t Valentina’s boss with nearly ten years between them.

  Rebecca "Spud" Fry is a survivor. After recovering from a car crash where her entire family was killed, she's bounced back in a new way: as a YouTuber vlogging about her recovery. In between visits with her physiotherapist, and her best friend Josie West to watch movies, she vlogs and writes a book. It's simple, but it's a good life she never thought she'd be able to have again.
  Josie West is the granddaughter of Cormac West, grocery store business magnate. Her family is powerful, large, and can't take no for an answer. And now, they're coming for her: on a weekend when Josie was supposed to watch movies with Rebecca, and record an episode of her podcast, her family comes knocking. Cormac's birthday is coming up, and there are family matters to attend to. Josie's been invited to the Outer Banks for vacation -- nonnegotiable -- but they also invited Rebecca, too. As her girlfriend. Josie's always had a crush on the older Rebecca, ever since they met in their physiotherapist's office, so being her girlfriend -- even pretend -- is the perfect way to travel. What could go wrong? 
  As the vacation progresses, more sides of the West family emerge. Both Rebecca and Josie must face their limitations, as individuals and within a group, in order to hopefully return home once again happily.
