Summary

Sequel to Taking a Chance

Elis had no intention of reentering Latham's life, especially as his own is starting to fall apart. But when slumlord Fredrick Mason threatens Latham, Elis's lingering affection for the nobleman compels him to intervene. However, investigating Mason and discovering the extent of his hold on the criminal underbelly of the Lower result in Elis getting attacked and left to die in the street.


Except, instead of dying, Elis wakes in Latham's estate, miles from the city and the danger he's inadvertently drawn to himself. Isolated from civilization and trapped with the man who once pushed him away, Elis is forced to rely on Latham while his injuries heal and face his own fears or risk losing this unexpected second chance to forge a possible future with the man he wants to protect.


With the threat Mason poses hanging over their heads, and despite Latham's attempts to dissuade Elis from getting involved, they must devise a way to shake Mason's hold over the Lower while navigating the enduring feelings and desire simmering between them.

    When a gay teenager is mercilessly stabbed in a high school bathroom in West Nowhere, Nova Scotia, the surrounding community is sent into a tailspin. While Colton fights for his life in a hospital room at West Nowhere General, everyone from a school janitor to the boy’s abusive stepfather overflows with emotion in the form of verse monologues, unburdening themselves of their feelings. 
    		 
    The Bright Afters is a poetic container for the pain endured by the town and surrounding area — and sometimes, their confessions. The voices we hear from include the sympathetic (a favorite teacher) and the arresting (the kid who stabbed Colton). As Colton recovers, his powder keg sister Christine and his escapist best friend, Annie, have the most to lose from the act that almost killed him — and the most to gain from coming to a new understanding about the senseless violence. 
    		 
    Told from a variety of perspectives, The Bright Afters seeks to interrogate collective and individual trauma, queer belonging, and the ways in which a place sculpts the people it produces. Its individual poems take their names from Broadway shows, containing all of the community’s fraught hope for a positive “big finish” to the story.

    Ben Carlson's life was already in the shitter, and that was before his sister's ex-boyfriend Conner Jaxon moved in next door. Home for the summer after dropping out of Seabreeze State, Ben is stuck doing dog sitting duty while his mom is touring Napa Valley with her latest beau of the month.
    Conner is rehabbing the rundown cottage next to Ben's in order to flip it, but after a costly mishap with the water heater makes Connor question his technical skills, he hires a crew to do the work for him.

When a runaway pooch sets the two on a rescue mission to find it, Ben learns Conner's not so bad after all.
    But there's still the past to consider, long-buried feelings to confront, and when a secret confession leads to a smoldering kiss, the only thing that can stand in the way of a sizzling summer love story are a few simple rules. Rule Number One? There are no rules in love!
