  A weekend fling in Atlantic City couldn’t be more out of socially shy Zach Cohen’s comfort zone, but a bet with his best friends forces him to put aside the humiliation he’s hidden for years and step away from behind his computer screens and online world. When he meets Sam Stein, despite their spark, Zach expects nothing more than a night of passion and a kiss good-bye. Yet weeks later, he can’t keep the man out of his head. 
  After a split-second decision with tragic results ends his twenty-year police career at the same time as his relationship falls apart, Sam Stein is drifting through life. At his best friend’s urging, he agrees to a trip to Atlantic City to clear his head. What Sam doesn’t plan on is meeting Zach Cohen, whose sweet nature and honesty has him thinking maybe he could move forward, until Zach leaves him without explanation, reinforcing Sam’s belief that people can’t be trusted. 
  Well-meaning friends refuse to let Zach and Sam hide from each other, forcing them to realize their weekend was much more than a one-night stand. Before that can happen, Zach must come to terms with his past and stand up for his own independence, while Sam has to learn to take a chance and believe in himself and people again. All bets are off when dreams become reality, and forever doesn’t seem to be long enough.

  Four in Hand

  Comprised of four heroic crowns of sonnets, Alicia Mountain’s Four in Hand is both formal and experimental, ranging from lyric romantic and familial narratives to blank verses of reconfigured found text pulled from financial newsletter emails. Language and white space equally captivate with their sparsity and abundance as Mountain pursues the implications of national political identity with intersectional awareness. These poems interrogate our collective complicity in late-stage capitalism, drone warfare, the election of Donald Trump, environmental degradation, mental health crises, and the dawn of Covid-19 through the lens of gay poetic lineage, regionalism, and familial kinships structures. With one enthralling image after the other, Four in Hand builds a world that carves out necessary space for lesbian gaze, speakership, and personhood. From the back corner of a vast, sprawling, yet gorgeous landscape of thought, Mountain's poems beckon us inside.

  Fake dates only turn into real love in the movies, right?

  Keegan had always found Owen attractive, but he had never seriously considered dating a man. But when he overhears Owen saying he needs a date for his ex's wedding, he thinks that sounds like the perfect opportunity to get to know the handsome older man, and maybe to explore a few of the things he's been wondering about. 
   
   
   
  Owen had sworn off men, younger ones especially, but something about Keegan Richards makes him want things he thought he had long put aside. Is Owen right and he missed his one chance at love, or had the right man just not come along . . . until Keegan?

  The Stone Wall an Autobiography

  Mary Casal

  A fearless, taboo-shattering autobiography of a New England woman born in 1864, The Stone Wall confronts the damage done by silence around sex and the body. With a voice both candid and compassionate, Mary Casal recalls a spirited tomboy childhood, a mother’s punitive secrecy, and the predation and coercion she endured from trusted adults—all while discovering joy in sports, dancing, and deep, tender attachments to girls. As she comes of age, Casal challenges rigid femininity, questions Victorian moral codes, and argues for frank sex education long before it was acceptable to do so. Her story traces a double life: outwardly the cheerful, capable “good girl”; inwardly a keen observer who refuses to lie about desire, consent, and the costs of repression. Narrated with nuance by Jason Michael Mann, this landmark memoir is both historical testament and urgent contemporary read—an intimate chronicle of resilience, queer longing, and the hard-won clarity that comes from telling the whole truth at last.

  Falling for my crush at my ex’s Christmas wedding? Piece of cake! 
  Making the cake for my ex-fake boyfriend turned best friend’s wedding the week before Christmas was easy. Carting it halfway across England in the snow was not. Especially not when a blown-out back tyre leads to me coming face to face with my long term crush for the first time in five years. 
  I’ve known André since his days of boyband superstardom, but since I was supposed to be dating one of his bandmates, I was never able to act on my feelings. But now we’re both single and stuck in a hotel for the weekend with our interfering friends who seem determined to push us together. 
  But maybe André and I don’t need a push. Maybe all we need is a chance to see if the spark we felt all those years ago is still there. 
  After all, it is Christmas. And that means anything could happen.

  A noir tour-de-force set in the world of hustlers from "one of America's darkest and funniest chroniclers." (The Guardian) 
   
   
   
  It's New York City, 1981, and everyone wants to be at the Emerson Club, from Cindy Crawford to Cindy Adams; from Famous Roger, one-time lion of the talk shows, to Sandy Miller, the "downtown" writer with the tattoos and the leather; from Lauren Hutton to the art star who does the thing with the broken plates. Everyone, that is, except Danny. Danny just works there, waiting tables to put himself through architecture school, turning tricks on the side. And when he's not on the clock, he's recording the sexual, aesthetic, and financial transactions that make up his life, in gruesome detail. But even a clever boy like Danny can wind up on the menu. Blinded by love for his fellow rent boy, Chip—as gorgeous as he is reckless—Danny is about to learn that there's more than one way to turn your body into cash, and that cynicism is no defense when the real scalpels come out. A gimlet-eyed crime novel with an inventively filthy mind, Rent Boy is Gary Indiana at his most outrageous—and his best. 
   
   
   
  Contains mature themes.
