Synopsis

The Green Carnations: Gay Classics Boxed Set offers a vivid exploration of themes centered around love, identity, and societal norms, capturing the essence of life and literature from eras past. The curated selections span across a range of literary styles, including the decadence of Wilde, the adventurous narratives of Winthrop, and the audacious escapades of Petronius. This collection emphasizes the dynamic spectrum of queer narratives, encapsulating tales of both harm and liberation, showcasing the beauty and complexity of same-sex love within their contexts, thus offering a rich tableau of the queer experience through history. The anthology brings together the works of varied and influential voices such as Oscar Wilde, known for his sharp wit, and Harlan Cozad McIntosh, an eloquent chronicler of personal and social challenges. This gathering spans different cultural and historical moments, from the classical decadence reflected in Petronius' work to modern narratives depicting nuanced psychological landscapes. These authors, through their unique perspectives, have collectively unfolded the richness of an underrepresented narrative within the greater literary canon, echoing the continuous struggle and resilience found within LGBTQ+ communities. This compilation serves as an indispensable resource for readers seeking to immerse themselves in the multiplicity of queer literary artistry. The Green Carnations presents an opportunity to engage with a variety of narratives that have both shaped and defied traditional literary movements. When readers engage with this collection, they are invited not only into a world of diversified storytelling but also into a cultural dialogue that deepens comprehension of queer heritage and its profound impact on literature. A must-read for its breadth of insights and educational merit, this set is a testament to the enduring power and diversity of queer voices in literature."}

    Idyllic, quaint, and straight out of a Norman Rockwell painting is St. Claire, Louisiana—at least on the outside. Beneath the veneer, it's anything but. That's the secret of St. Claire. 
     
     
     
    Born and raised in St. Claire, Lindsay Juneau's life was seemingly full raising a six-year-old daughter and caring for her widowed mother. Of course, things aren't always what they seem, and the newest resident of St. Claire isn't buying the ruse. 
     
     
     
    Veterinarian Nicole Allen is looking for something different. She finds it in St. Claire with its hypochondriac rabbits, shotgun-toting shut-ins, and eclectic mix of people. The most alluring, though, is a woman who's also looking for something different.

    SYL 
     
     
     
    My control is shot, almost at breaking point. I want to kiss, to touch, to bite. But that's not a future I get to have. So I close my eyes, and feel. 
     
     
     
    Soft words and eager hands. My silver-haired fae with his dirty mouth, and my hot as sin witch with storm-grey eyes. I want to soak up every second of it, hoard those memories for when it all ends. Because I don't do casual. 
     
     
     
    I've wanted a mate for as long as I can remember, spent my days hoping for fate to send me the one person meant for me. But she didn't. She sent me two. 
     
     
     
    Neither ready for the lifetime commitment I'm offering. Losing one mate would break my heart. Losing both will shatter my soul beyond repair.

    I'll see you in Chicago. 
     
     
     
    Those words echoed in Marisol Soltero's mind as she sprinted across Bogota. Back in Chicago, she waited outside Governor Sabrina Sloane's luxury condo, needing to see the woman she loved return to safety. But Sabrina didn't return. Not to Chicago and not to Marisol. 
     
     
     
    That was six months ago. Now a series of disappearances in Humboldt Park provide the distraction Marisol needs. Her people are going missing. Snatched off the street right under her nose. Clues are sparse, but Marisol's gut tells her the culprit is her old enemy. 
     
     
     
    Governor Sabrina Sloane has become a shadow of herself. She haunts the halls of the Governor's Mansion, both her work and personal life flooded with nightmares. She knows Marisol is in danger, perhaps even more now that she's back in Chicago, and Sloane will do anything it takes to keep the woman she loves safe. Even if it means confronting the man at the center of her nightmares. 
     
     
     
    But when two chess pieces are directed at the same enemy, they can get in each other's way. If Marisol and Sabrina get the moves right, they could tango back into each other's arms. If not, all of Chicago could pay the price.

    Entwined: Essays on Polyamory...

    In a series of genre-blending essays read by the author, Entwined tells the story of Alex Alberto’s decade-long polyamorous journey toward a new kind of family. 
    In these essays, Alex attempts to build two committed relationships at once when no one involved has done this before; develops a powerful bond with the woman their partner loves; sits through a tense Thanksgiving Dinner with religious in-laws; questions the need for rules and hierarchy in their relationships; experiences the intensity of a triad; wrestles with the fragility baked into the nuclear family after their father’s stroke; and explores their queerness and gender identity in English, in New York, and struggles to reconcile their newfound self in their native French-Canadian language and culture. 
    Entwined explores the fuzzy lines between friendship, romance, and family with various essay forms, including a play, an advice column, and a love letter. Yes, there are challenges, but rather than wallowing in the throes of jealousy, this memoir celebrates the hard work of creating a love life that resists conventional narratives. 
    --------

    Wilby Linfox is the world's biggest flirt . . . 
     
     
     
    From the moment he stumbles into my life—drunk, singing, shirtless—I knew he'd be trouble . . . But I'm in Australia to do exactly three things: work, check out some touristy hotspots, and scatter my mother's ashes. 
     
     
     
    Not on the cards? Getting sidetracked by a charming, ruggedly handsome Aussie vet who's quite possibly got the loudest laugh in the southern hemisphere. Another thing I wasn't expecting? Finding out my work puts me on a direct collision course with Wilby Linfox. 
     
     
     
    Wilby 
     
     
     
    Sometimes you meet someone and you just know they're going to mean something to you. That's what happened with Col Langdon. Sure, he's a cranky, uptight New Yorker who seems strangely immune to my serenading, but he's been living rent-free in my head since the night we met. I'm the king of casual. But with Col . . . it's different. 
     
     
     
    When he shows up in my hometown, I hope it means we get to rekindle what we started in Sydney. But then I find out the real purpose of his visit, and my feelings for him explode into a volcanic rage. If Col thinks he can waltz in here and destroy my family, I'll give him the biggest fight of his life.
