Summary

Jonah Gentry knows his family is a lot, so, it's been three years since he visited them back in Atlanta. As hesitant as he might be to spend another holiday with them, Jonah finds his reluctance is quickly assuaged when he meets the gorgeous man sitting next to him on the plane. After an amazing night together, Jonah realizes he isn't sure he's up for competing with the other man who has a place in this man's heart, Jesus.


Paul Carrington left Alabama years ago. Twenty years later, he's built a life for himself with a thriving business, and a nice house he's hoping to fill with just the right guy. When he meets a man on a plane ride back from Portland, he wonders if maybe Jonah might be the one. Then Jonah leaves him standing in his bathrobe in the middle of the street chasing after his cab.


When Paul and Jonah find themselves next to each other at Jonah's mother's Christmas dinner, sparks fly. Can Jonah work through his family and religious issues enough to work it out with the guy with the kind eyes? Can Paul forgive the man who left him without saying goodbye? Or is it just another holiday down the tubes?

    I’m proud to be a geek 
    I’m smart, but I’m also awkward and somewhat socially inept—forever doomed to live in the shadow of my dead brother. 
    My job as a research engineer is amazing, though, and recently, I’ve managed to make some friends in my hometown of Forestville. 
    But when the wrong people show too much interest in my latest invention, my boss wants me protected. Despite my fierce protests, I end up back in Forestville. With a bodyguard who poses as my boyfriend. 
    Quillon is nothing like I had expected. He’s my opposite, but we connect in ways I never saw coming, and for the first time, I don’t feel alone. He takes care of me like no one ever has. 
    Oh, and he’s also extremely hot, which is fascinating because I’ve always thought I was straight. Apparently not. 
    But is this just a temporary thing or could it be forever?

    Every night at midnight, Red watches the purple clouds dance across the Parisian sky. Once, their movements soothed her; now, they remind her of everything she's lost: her art, her faith, and the quiet connection she once shared with her wife, Marisol.
    When Marisol insists on a lunch date with old friends at a trendy new restaurant called the Raving Bull, Red reluctantly agrees. But what begins as a simple outing becomes something strange and transformative, a surreal encounter that forces both women to confront the distance between them. As illusion and emotion blur, they find the truth of love might lie not in perfection, but in rediscovering the green light that first brought them together.
    Can Red and Marisol find their way back to each other before the color fades for good?

    For whatever we lose, it is our self we find in the sea. 
    Captain Hiram Nightingale is a veteran of the wars which have raged throughout Europe and the Americas. But a grand victory at the Battle of the Nile in 1798 comes at a devastating cost. Plagued by wounds both physical and mental, he attempts to recover by accepting command of HMS Scylla. His task is to hunt down a mutinous ship and bring the crew to justice. 
    However, it soon becomes clear that the mission is just one danger in an immense web. Nightingale finds himself in the middle of a network of secrets that will affect everyone onboard the Scylla. He has to battle against the perils of the war-torn seas, a crew who he fears does not accept him, and meddling, powerful figures from his past. 
    And in the centre of all this, his new lieutenant, the popular Arthur Courtney, stirs up long repressed feelings. On his journey, Nightingale must confront his own demons. For it seems, during his dangerous adventure, his greatest enemy might just be himself. 
    A deeply poignant tale of naval warfare, political intrigue and a love between two men that stands tall in an unaccepting world. Perfect for fans of Hornblower, Sharpe and Outlander. 
     
    ‘There are echoes of Horatio Hornblower in Nightingale’s introspection and doubts. The gay love story is beautifully written and the evocation of life on board the Scylla is equally good’ The Times
