Summary

Sometimes one decision changes your life.
Javier made a mistake and paid for it with jail time and parents who won't speak to him. But with supportive friends and hard work he's back on track, holding down a job and going to college. He doesn't need anything else on his plate -- especially not a preppy rich boy who doesn't look like he's ever had a problem in his life. 
Brandy made a mistake and now, instead of attending Princeton with his friends, he's at a city college full of people who seem to hate him no matter what he does. He's trying not to care. He isn't staying, so he doesn't need a friend -- especially not a macho guy who would probably beat him up if he knew how much Brandy wanted to get him naked. 
Javi didn't know he was making a decision: it was just a moment's kindness to someone who looked sad and alone. Now somehow Brandy is eating lunch with Javier's friends and Javi is inviting him to parties, and he isn't even sure how the conversation led to Brandy's parents thinking they were dating. There's only one bed and bed is where Javi excels, but is hot sex enough to keep Brandy in his life when they have nothing else in common?

Mark Vincent, who's WBIS, and Quinton Mann, who's CIA to the core, have been adversaries since the day they crossed paths while on assignment, and by rights, it should have been no problem for one to shoot the other. But for some reason, neither ever does, even when it causes problems at their agencies.
However, someone resents the respect they have for each other and sets out to teach Quinn a lesson, having him attacked one night on his own front lawn. Quinn is able to escape the situation, despite how badly beaten he is, but he needs a safe place to shelter in. He won't endanger family or friends. Where does that leave him?
Mark answers his door one night to find Quinton barely able to stand, looking nothing like the suave spook he was used to crossing swords with. After he makes sure there's no one lurking in the area, Mark brings Quinn into his apartment and calls a friend to take care of him. Mann might be a spook, but he's Mark's spook, and no one hurts him and goes scot-free.
While Quinn begins to recuperate, Mark goes after the director responsible for this situation. But will the man Mark assumes is behind the attack on Quinn be the right one? If he isn't, will Mark be able to keep Quinn safe?

In this warm and gloriously candid memoir about ADHD, queerness, love, and everything nobody thought to explain, CJ DeBarra – Irish journalist, non-binary West Cork exile, and lifelong owner of a brain that refused to behave – asks whether reaching their mid-thirties might finally be enough time to understand themselves.
Diagnosed with ADHD at eleven in a small West Cork village, CJ was given a label but never an explanation. Why did friendships keep breaking down? Why did relationships burn out? Why did their body and heart never seem to want the same things at the same time? Careening from art college to recession-era Dublin to Nottingham – falling hard, loving deeply, and only recently beginning to join the dots – CJ arrives, two decades later, at the question that should have been answered long ago: why hadn't anyone told them?
Part memoir, part guide, NeuroQueer fearlessly explores the raw realities of heartbreak, desire and queer identity, while shedding light on the alarmingly low diagnosis rates for women, transgender, and non-binary individuals. CJ draws on academic research, medical studies and the lived experience of other queer ADHD people to ask what might have been different if someone had told them sooner – and demands better for everyone still waiting to be told.

Some stories are wistful, some sensual, and some sparkling with fantasy, but all are about finding warmth where it's least expected. Discover these passionate, emotional tales of men who stumble, break, and heal in Jenna's evocative short story collection.
