  DALTON: My family is old money and my life has been mapped out since before I was born. Become a lawyer, buy a house, get married, and carry on the family name. I have the job and the house, but instead of the marriage, I'm happy playing the field. Finding out that I've been secretly married for half my adult life was a plot twist I didn't see coming. Carter Emerson Royce IV is everything I used to want to be. I haven't seen him since college, and now he's asking me to come to New York and pretend we're the perfect picture of domestic bliss. Considering the history between us, it's the least I can do. 
   
  IVEY: All I need to do is to win over the co-op board so I can secure keys to the penthouse in NYC that I've wanted for years. When they ask about my marital status and produce a marriage license from Vegas, my plans are thrown out the window. I've spent fifteen years trying to not think about Dalton Fox, but we're about to get up close and personal again. The plan is simple—pretend we're really married and in love long enough for my application to get approved, Dalton goes back to LA a single man, and I go on with the rest of my life. Except there's more between us than history. Soon it becomes clear, the penthouse isn't the only thing at stake. The rest of our lives—and the future of our marriage—are too. 
   
  Contains mature themes.

  Margo has spent most of her life without a family, and with a telekinetic gift she can't quite explain. Since losing her mother, she's felt more alone than ever. When her fiancé Sam takes her to his remote Iowa hometown to meet his family and begin planning their wedding, Margo finally begins to feel like she's home. But the feeling doesn't last long, and Margo soon feels out of place. Sam's family is different from what she'd expected. Not only is their obsession with a deceased televangelist unsettling, but Margo has begun seeing a mysterious figure from her past—a figure that she thought was put to rest with her mother's passing. 
   
  As Sam's family begins to take over the wedding plans, Margo tries to regain some control by turning to the town's sole wedding planner, who soon becomes her only confidant, perhaps because she reminds Margo of her former love. But the more Margo tries to distance her past from her future with Sam, the deeper his family pulls her in, forcing upon her generationally archaic traditions that border on ritualistic. As Margo unearths the family's dark web of secrets, she begins to suspect that she may have been brought here for a reason, and it may cost her her life. 
   
  The Ever End takes elevated horror to a new level with a queer, twisted, feminist story that will keep listeners guessing until the end.

  An accident crushed Duncan's Olympic dreams and landed him in a chair, but he knows it's time to get his life back on track—and he has a plan in mind. Working with his friend Todd, an Olympic skeleton racer, on a promotional campaign will not only help Duncan regain some direction, but it'll give Todd the financial boost he desperately needs. The sport Todd loves is draining his resources—so much so that he's thinking of giving up racing just to make ends meet. As the two men work together, their friendship blossoms into much more, and suddenly the future is looking brighter than it has in a long time. But just when love, happiness, and success seem within their grasp, the USOC steps in with plans to stop their campaign. That'll mean an end not just to Duncan's business, but to Todd's dreams… and Duncan isn't about to let that happen to the man who means everything to him.

  It's the summer of 1967 and the Sexual Offences Act has just decriminalized consensual gay sex in private between two men over twenty-one. Percy Wright and his friend Les Baker have both taken temporary jobs teaching English as a foreign language in London during their long summer break from teaching at a rural boarding school near Oxford.
  Percy is keen to soak up some theatre, music, and general culture, whilst Les is also keen to experience the varied gay social scene. When Les picks up a man called Phil at the box office of the Albert Hall when he goes to buy tickets to a Promenade Concert, Percy inadvertently gets thrown together with Adrian Framlingham, Phil's friend. 
  Adrian is all the things Percy likes in a man -- funny, kind and steady. When Les gets hurt, Percy turns to Adrian for support, but as the end of the summer looms it seems as if their affair will come to a natural end. 
  What will happen when Percy goes back to his everyday life as a house-master? Will he and Adrian stay in touch? Does he even want a long-distance relationship when arranging to meet someone for sex is still illegal, even if the act itself is not? 
  Trigger warning: A secondary character suffers an off-screen sexual assault.
