The novel tells the story of Stephen Gordon, a woman named after the son her parents hoped for, who identifies herself as an "invert," a term used at the time to describe a homosexual person. The story explores Stephen's experiences with love and society's rejection, highlighting the challenges faced by those who deviate from the norms of their time in terms of sexual and gender identity.
 
The book was subject to a famous obscenity trial in the UK, which led to its banishment, yet it played a crucial role in the discourse on homosexuality in literature.

Alpha Bear For Lucian An - An MM...

Lorelei M. Hart, Colbie Dunbar

Aspen didn’t know you could accidentally become Alpha of a Den, but that’s exactly what he just did.
Alpha bear shifter Aspen was ready to begin his new life in the big city. He has a job lined up, a lease signed, and his truck packed. All he has left is to get there. Too bad that’s easier said than done, because his truck picked the middle of nowhere to break down—alongside a bear den’s land of all places. When Aspen seeks permission to spend the night, he plans to keep his head down and just mind his own business and he does, until he hears the scream that changes everything.
Omega bear shifter Lucian hates his den. No, that isn’t fair. It isn’t the den he hates as much as the leadership. When the Alpha he had most of his life died, he crossed his fingers the new one would bring their den into this century. He didn’t—the new Alpha is not only old-school, but also cruel. When rumors of an alpha bear seeking refuge until his truck is repaired reach him, Lucien forms a plan. If he can convince the shifter to take him when he leaves, he can escape this horrible life.
Sneaking out to find the new bear sounded like a great idea, until Lucian gets caught. His den Alpha is a strike first kind of guy, and strike he does. Lucien knows better than to scream, as it only makes the punishments worse, but scream he does, the pain too much to hold inside. A flurry of fur and teeth, a dead Alpha, and the scenting of his fated mate leaves the visiting shifter as their new Alpha.
So much for best laid plans.

Ramen Assassin

Rhys Ford

When life gives Kuro Jenkins lemons, he wants to make ponzu to serve at his Los Angeles ramen shop. Instead he's dodging bullets and wondering how the hell he ended up back in the Black Ops lifestyle he left behind him. After rescuing former child star Trey Bishop from a pair of thugs in the middle of the night, he knows it's time to pick up his gun again. But it seems trouble isn't done with Trey, and Kuro can't quite let go… of either the gun or Trey Bishop. Trey Bishop never denied his life's downward spiral was his own fault. After a few stints in rehab, he's finally shaken off his Hollywood bad-boy lifestyle but not his reputation. The destruction of his acting career and his relationships goes deep, and no one trusts anything he says, including the LAPD. When two men dragging a dead body spot him on a late-night run and try to murder him, Trey is grateful for the tall, dark, and deadly ramen shop owner he lusts over—not just for rescuing him, but also for believing him. Now caught in a web of murders and lies, Trey knows someone wants him dead, and the only one on his side is a man with deep, dark secrets. Trey hopes Kuro Jenkins will stick around to see what the future holds for them once the dust settles, but from the looks of things, neither of them may survive to find out.
