Summary

Seventeen-year-old Joshua Jones is a fun-loving boy with the usual troubles -- bullying at school and being in the closet. Now his mother insists he see a psychologist. Is this because he speaks to his dead father's ashes in their golden urn? Joshua doesn't know and, worse, no one will tell him anything.


When Joshua joins an extracurricular drama school, he not only discovers that he is naturally talented, but he also finds love in the form of Michael Armstrong, whose parents are both accepting of their son's gayness. With Michael's friendship and encouragement, Josh comes out of the closet and into his true self.


However, Joshua's mother blames Michael for Joshua's gayness. How will the boys resolve this? Will Joshua and his mother be able to deal with the issues of coming out?

    Kiersten has always been a fan of personal massagers, and her favorite is the PleasureWand 3000, a powerful vibe that plugs in the wall and brings instant release. Kiersten thinks she loves her wand more than she loves sex, and she can't imagine why she'd need a real girlfriend with the buzzing beast in her bed.
    But when her PleasureWand's cord frays over time, almost blowing a fuse and threatening to electrocute her in the process, Kiersten finds herself in the market for a new toy. The wand isn't cheap, and the website she buys it from takes her money and runs, leaving her out of cash and out of luck. 
    But a local sex toy shop called Amaryllis has the PleasureWand in stock, so Kiersten decides to swing by on her lunch break. She's a little embarrassed to be seen in such a place, to be honest, but sexy owner Amy soon puts her at ease. She introduces Kiersten to her favorite vibe, a lightweight, waterproof, cordless wonder called the Genie 500, and she's more than ready to give Kiersten a demo to prove her point. 
    Can Amy's sales pitch change Kiersten's mind? Will the Genie really make all her dreams come true?

    As the new pack Beta, humans are strictly off limits. But when my long-lost childhood best friend unexpectedly lands on top of me, I can't keep my hands off him. 
    Logan 
    It's been almost fifteen years since I stepped foot in this small town, and nothing has changed. Then I run face-first into my childhood best friend and I couldn't be happier. But there's more to him now than I remember. He's hunky, charming, and has the most beautiful hazel eyes I've ever seen. He's still just as much of a himbo as I remember, but he protects me when some local drunks try to start a fight. 
    Now I can't take my eyes off him. 
    Hunter 
    Seeing Logan again brought back so many memories and a rush of feelings I didn't expect. The more I stare at him, the more I realize I feel more than just friendship toward him. I want to hold him, protect him, and let everyone know that he's mine. But I've never dated a man before, and I'm terrified to tell him the truth. I'm not the smartest guy, so I'll probably mess it up. And there's the fact that I'm a werewolf, and he's human. Exposing my world could put him in danger and cost me my position in the pack. 
    But living without him sounds like a fate worse than death. 
    TROPES: standalone, gay for you/bi awakening, fated mates, friends to lovers, forbidden love, protective/posessive , found family, strict roles, and HEA.

    Longlisted for the 2024 Fred Cogswell Award For Excellence In Poetry
    
    Finalist for the 2023 Foreword INDIES Book of the Year Awards
    
    In these peculiar times, we are thrust back into ourselves in a kind of suspension: one in which only private life exists yet threatens to become trivial through a sense of mutual, overarching dread.
    Lent from award-winning writer Kate Cayley is built from this tension, exploring domestic and artistic life amidst the environmental crisis and the surprising ways that every philosophical quandary—large and small—converges in the home, in small objects, conversations, and moments. The grotesque and the tedious, the baroque and the banal, intertwine in the first three sections. Meticulous depictions of spectacle run into the repetition of daily domestic life: trying to explain time to children, day trips to the planetarium, and the warnings of strangers; these are interspersed with depictions such as Mary Shelley recalling the monster, the inner life of a seventeenth century portrait sitter, and Ted Hughes's second wife telling her story to the dead Sylvia Plath. The title section explores religious faith; how belief is itself a repetition, a slow accumulation over time, just like love or forgiveness.
    Lent is an exquisite work of our era, asking us to contemplate what it means to live in a broken world—and why we still find it beautiful.

    Life is further complicated when Hastings is chosen to travel to the Land of Women to father children. He wants to accept, but Bergman can't understand why he would consider going. Isn't he happy with what he already has? If he goes, what will that do to their relationship? To their future? Is this a betrayal, or is it something else?
