  Lucien Adler has worked hard for the past decade to get his company off the ground during the rise of broadband and social media so he could support the grandmother who raised him, and the little brother that was entrusted to him. Only, his life still feels empty as he doesn't have a partner to share his good fortune with. Enter Aharon "Isis" Crosswell, giving Lucien the answer to a crossword puzzle and someone he could fall for.
  
  Between Lucien's obligation to continue running his company and Isis's anxiety over how to tell his parents that he's gay, the two have a lot of obstacles in their way. Luckily, they've got a snarky ex-military PA, a motherly housekeeper, a sassy grandmother, and an obnoxious little brother and his boyfriend to help them navigate blending their lives. Hopefully, it'll be enough when both Lucien and Isis's parents come by and do their best to tear them apart.

  In his highly anticipated second collection, Chen Chen continues his investigation of family, both blood and chosen, examining what one inherits and what one invents, as a queer Asian American living through an era of Trump, mass shootings, and the COVID-19 pandemic. Always at work in the wrecked heart of this new collection is a switchboard operator, picking up and connecting calls. Raucous 2 a.m. prank calls. Whispered-in-a-classroom emergency calls. And sometimes, its pages record the dropping of a call, a failure or refusal to pick up. With irrepressible humor and play, these anarchic poems celebrate life, despite all that would crush aliveness.  
  Hybrid in form and set in New England, West Texas, and a landlocked province of China, among other places, Your Emergency Contact Has Experienced an Emergency refuses neat categorizations and pat answers. Instead, the book offers an insatiable curiosity about how it is we keep finding ways to hold onto one another.

  Cillian 
  I can’t figure out why I’m so intrigued by Ollie Gibson. 
  He’s nothing like me—soft where my world is hard, sweet and kind while I’ve grown up around violence. 
  But there’s a fire to him that sparks the one inside me, loyalty that calls to me, and bravery I respect even if it gets him in trouble. 
  When Ollie’s hurt and we don’t know if the men who attacked him will come back for more, I can’t stop myself from claiming him. There’s nothing I won’t do to protect him, even go behind his back for vengeance. 
  I crave him—both the sweetness and the fire, the innocence and the dirty boy he turns into under my touch. 
  I’ll kill for him, turn my world upside down for him, share my pain and secrets with him. Ollie helps me deal with it all—even the drama with my father. 
  It’s supposed to be temporary. I’m not supposed to want more, but I’m determined to keep him, and for a reason I can’t understand, Ollie wants me too. 
  The future lawyer and the criminal. The Good Samaritan and the killer. We’re living between two worlds, this place where vengeance can be sweet and our differences don’t matter. But we both know it can’t go on like this forever. If the violence of my world doesn’t tear us apart, one day Ollie will walk away…and I don’t know how to let myself lose him. 
  Content Warning: Sweet Vengeance contains discussions and grief over the loss of a parent, violence, darker themes, drug use, and morally gray characters with no redemption arc. This is still a Riley Hart romance though, so you can expect a happily ever after for our guys. Please see the note in the beginning of the book for a more detailed content warning.

  Sequel to The Blood Witch
  
  Vampires, blood witches, and murders!
  
  
  All Duncan Caddock wants is to make people believe he's human, and for the most part, he succeeds. He's working as a detective and is solving human crimes. But he's not a human; he's a blood witch. The life of a blood witch isn't pleasant, though, and he refuses to live like one. It all works out great until he outs himself by using his powers on a vampire.
  
  
  Urien Sayer wants to hide in his house, but as second in command in the kingdom of supernaturals, he has to be seen. Then one night, he accidentally tries to take a bite out of the town's new detective, only to realize the detective isn't as human as he pretends to be.
  
  
  Blood witches are valuable, and Urien wants to keep Duncan in the kingdom and preferably in his bed. Duncan isn't sure staying in Norbridge is a good idea, but when people are starting to get murdered, he gets dragged further into the world of the supernaturals than he'd ever planned on. And if he's gonna solve murders on the supernatural side of society, who better to have by his side than the top vampire?
