  Making the Rounds - Defying...

  She knew the truth about herself. The world wasn't ready to hear it. 
  In 1960s America, being different wasn't just difficult—it was dangerous. When a teenage girl realizes she's a lesbian, she faces an impossible choice: embrace her authentic self or conform to society's crushing expectations. Desperate to fit in, she attempts heterosexuality with devastating consequences. 
  But acknowledging her truth becomes her salvation. Coming out gives her unexpected courage to shatter another barrier: defying the male-dominated medical establishment to pursue her dream of becoming a doctor. In lecture halls and hospital wards at a time when women medical students are rare and barely tolerated, she fights for both her education and her right to exist as herself. 
  The 1970s also brought second-wave feminism and promises of liberation, yet the reality remains treacherous. Being openly gay still means risking everything—career, reputation, safety. Finding love proves its own battleground, with each relationship teaching hard lessons about trust and vulnerability when the world refuses to recognize that life as legitimate. 
  This is the story of one woman's refusal to disappear. Of choosing authenticity over acceptance. Of discovering that the courage to be yourself can transform not just your own life but pave the way for those who follow. 
  “The author writes with a sense of blunt reality and warm humanity”—Kirkus Reviews, starred review 
   “Fast-paced, immersive, and weighty memoir that will resonate with anyone who has experienced the hardships of being true to yourself.”

  Moving from the nonstop rush of the big city to the peaceful, minuscule tourist town of Ruidoso, New Mexico, should be easy, right? But when physician's assistant Dante Mazza's car breaks down, leaving him stranded in the literal middle of nowhere, he finds himself in need of rescue. What he gets is more than a hundred pounds of enormous Italian mastiff, as well as the dog's handsome owner.
  Cameron Myers, forest service ranger and part of the Demon Dogs search and rescue group, is always prepared and ready to help. Together with his dog Hatch, he watches over Lincoln National Forest near Ruidoso. When he stops to help a man waylaid on the side of the road, he discovers something he isn't prepared for. 
  He and Dante go together like spicy green chile on a cheeseburger; the heat between them might be enough to start a wildfire. Dante might be out of his depth in the woods, but he might just be what Cam needs in his life.

  Anthony 
  During my seven years as a social worker in Gaynor Beach, California, delivering orphaned twins to their unsuspecting father is the biggest challenge I’ve ever faced. These babies lost their mother and they need a loving parent, but is adorable Scott Wexler up to that challenge? Transferring custody is one thing—walking away is something entirely different, especially with the stress of Christmas bearing down on Scott too. 
  Scott 
  After escaping a miserable childhood, I’ve made a fresh start in California. I’m in charge at the Gaynor Beach Public Library, I love helping people, and I'm feeling like an actual functional human being. Then social worker Anthony Rodrigues shows up on my doorstep with twins I fathered through a sperm donation, and suddenly I'm responsible for two tiny lives. Accepting help from the gorgeous social worker is a no brainer—admitting I want him to stay is going to take a lot more courage. 
  This 74k word gay romance is a slow burn, mid-angst, instalove with a geeky librarian, a by-the-book social worker, adorable twin-toddler terrors, and a beleaguered cat named Crumpy.
