Summary

Sequel to Office Hours

Liam always did what he was supposed to do: stay out of trouble and get good grades. He thought college would be his chance to go wild, but instead of partying, he spent his first semester frustrated, flustered, and crushing hard on the one man he couldn't have -- his brilliant, sarcastic professor, Blaise Levin. Now the term's over, Blaise isn't his teacher anymore, and Liam has an unexpected chance to make his fantasies a reality.

Blaise has built a life on rules and routines: respected academic, no risks, no drama. But this Christmas, he finds himself alone in San Francisco, with nothing to do except research ... until his former problem student offers to show him around. Liam's charming and unexpectedly daring, and Blaise can't stop wondering what it will feel like to finally break the rules. Especially when Liam shows up with chocolate syrup and a very unacademic holiday agenda.

    ONE OF QUEER FORTY'S BEST PRIDE READS FOR SUMMER 2023! 2023 Best Indie Book Award Winner for LGBTQ+ Fiction! Gold Medal Finalist for 2024 Independent Publisher Book Awards for LGBTQ+ Fiction Three gay men in pre-Stonewall New York City find their fates thrown together in the police raid of a Village bar. Roger Moorhouse is a Wall Street banker and Westchester family man with a preciously guarded secret. As the shouting begins and flashlights blaze in his face, the life he’s carefully curated over the years―a fancy new office overlooking lower Broadway, a house in Beechmont Woods, his wife and children―is about to come crashing down around him. Columbia literature professor Julian Prince lives a comparatively uncloseted life when he finds his first committed relationship tested to its limits. How could he explain to Gus, a fearless young artist, that he couldn’t stay with him that weekend because the woman who was still technically Julian’s fiancée would be visiting? But when Gus is struck unconscious by a police baton, Julian comes out of hiding to protect him, even if exposure means losing everything. For Danny Duffy, an Irish kid from the Bronx with a sassy mouth and a diverse group of friends, the raid is a galvanizing, Spartacus moment. Danny doesn’t have too much left to lose; his family has just disowned him. But once his name appears in the newspaper, he’ll be fired from his job at Sloan’s Supermarket, where he’s risen to assistant manager of produce, and begin a journey that veers between political enlightenment and violent revenge. The three men find themselves in a police wagon together, their hidden lives threatened to be revealed to the world. Blackmail, a private investigator, Gus’s disappearance, and Danny’s quest for retribution propel Disorderly Men to its piercing conclusion, as each man meets the boundaries of his own fear, love, and shame. The stakes for each are different, but all of them confront a fundamental question: How much happiness is he allowed to have . . . and what share of it will he lay claim to?

    Maeve Murphy doesn't have much to celebrate this holiday season. Ten years ago, she moved from Kingsford with no intention of returning.

    Bianca Rossi, whose father is the chef at Murph's, moved to Kingsford four years ago from the hustle and bustle of New York City.

    Maeve's been resistant to Bianca's attempts to strike up a friendship so far, but a little holiday magic may be just the thing they need to push them both in the right direction.
