The Arena of the Unwell

Liam Konemann

Maison d'édition: 404 Ink

Synopsis

Noah spends his nights drifting between North London pubs and music venues, and his days sleeping off hangovers in the stock room of the floundering record shop where he works. He tries not to think about what will happen when his NHS-allocated therapy hours run out and he's left alone with his mind again.

After years away, his favourite band Smiling Politely announce a last-minute set in a nearby venue and everything starts to shift. When the crowd turns violent, Noah runs into the street and meets Dylan, the charming local barman he's never had the courage to approach.

Pulled into a toxic and co-dependent relationship with Dylan and his brooding, enigmatic friend Fraser, Noah bounces distractedly between sweaty gigs and clubs, swapping beds and friends along the way. The upcoming Smiling Politely album is a beacon of hope for Noah who craves the connection he finds in their music yet lacks elsewhere, but he has to ask himself what he's willing to lose – friendships, dignity, even his sense of self – to just feel like he belongs.

Mr Nice Guy

Isla Olsen

Tanner 
When you’re staring down the barrel of half a century’s existence on this planet, you tend to think about things… 
Like…maybe I should think about retiring? And I guess I could start crossing things off my bucket list? And should I get my colon checked? 
Something I wasn’t intending to start assessing too closely at this stage of my life—or ever, really—is my sporadic, complicated, and rather inconvenient attraction to men. 
Some people do yoga. Others bake. For me, the only surefire way to release all that tension and anxiety that’s always building up inside me is…well, I’m sure you can figure it out… 
But that’s all it is. Stress relief. 
Or, at least, that’s all it was. Until I met Deacon Stapleton. 
Gorgeous, funny, and great in bed—it only takes one night for me to decide I want him to be my permanent stress ball. 
But there are some problems…he’s too young; he’s too nice; and he doesn’t do casual flings. 
Oh, and did I mention he’s my daughter’s kindergarten teacher? 
Mr Nice Guy is book three in the Suits & Sevens series and features a billionaire silver fox and a rugby-playing kindergarten teacher. It can be read as a standalone. Tropes: billionaire, single dad, age gap, bi-awakening.
