  Standing on the sidelines of her sister’s third baby shower with her thirtieth birthday around the corner, Indigo is feeling the pressure about one thing she hasn’t yet mastered: a healthy long-term relationship. As owner of Houston’s hottest destination for luxury shoes and accessories, she excels at finding clients the perfect shoe, but she's having a hard time finding a partner who is her perfect fit.  So she approaches her lackluster dating life the same way she does any challenge—with determination—and books her social calendar full of potential suitors. She needs a man who can handle her busy life, get along with her big and boisterous family, and mesh with her tight-knit friends, including Nate, her childhood bestie.  While one guy is great on paper and another sets off sparks, neither are Mr. Right. And her drive to find him begins to interfere with the things and people she values most. Can Indigo let go of past hurts and unrealistic expectations and finally admit to herself that her perfect man has been in front of her the whole time?

  The countryside – what is it for? A paradise on earth where you can relax and get creative? Or an outdoor wool factory where every other house is an Airbnb and there are fewer trees than Camden. In his new collection of short stories David Gaffney explores the theme of town versus country through a number of different lenses, including his own experience of being brought up in west Cumbria then moving to Manchester.
  A creative residency on the coast of Scotland becomes weirder and weirder in "The Retreat"; 'I've always had the feeling that the countryside has something against me and that one day it will take its revenge.' In "The Table", a recluse in Penrith uses mid-century furniture to lure city dwellers into a world of 'depressed farmers with shotguns and bottomless pits of slurry that will swallow you so hard you'll never be seen again. And in "The Garages" the pressure of city living forces a man to become oddly obsessed with empty spaces. Often funny, often haunting, often profound, Gaffney uses dark humour and surreal characters to demonstrate a deep understanding of how places, urban or rural, can shape, influence and sometimes distort our lives. 'People who like the countryside tend to believe in things that aren't really there,' says a character in "The Country Pub".
  These are indeed stories about things that aren't really there, and this is why they resonate with you long after you have stopped reading.

  Six has always been a number we group things around – Six of the best, six of one half a dozen of another, six feet under, six pack, six degrees of separation and a sixth sense are but a few of the ways we use this number. 
   
  Such is its popularity that we thought it is also a very good way of challenging and investigating an author’s work to give width, brevity, humour and depth across six of their very best. 
   
  In this series we gather together authors whose short stories both rivet the attention and inspire the imagination to visit their gems in a series of six, to roam across an author’s legacy in a few short hours and gain a greater understanding of their writing and, of course, to be lavishly entertained by their ideas, their narrative and their way with words. 
   
  These stories can be surprising and sometimes at a tangent to what we expected, but each is fully formed and a marvellous adventure into the world and words of a literary master.

  A queer human rights lawyer with a shattered heart believes she’s found true love again—until a hidden past of devotion and deception threatens to break her all over again. 
  Ivy 
  I told myself I’d never let love wreck me again. I’ve been there—torn apart, left questioning everything. I had it once, back in college, with the girl I thought I’d spend forever with. And when it ended, I promised myself I wouldn’t fall like that again. But here I am, years later, still chasing connection, still pretending I don’t want something real. 
  And then I meet Adam. 
  Adam 
  Look at her. Ivy. My first love. I’ve always been here, watching her chase after love and lose it. I was never the right man for her—until now. When we matched on a dating app, I told myself it had to be fate. Maybe convincing her will take time, but I’ve been waiting for years. What’s a little longer? 
  Ivy 
  I don’t believe in fate. But I do believe in second chances. And maybe, just maybe, Adam is one of them. Just as I start to let my guard down, just as I start to believe in this, I find out there’s more to our story than I ever knew. Adam’s been hiding something—something that ties us together in ways I never imagined. 
  His devotion to me is overwhelming. So is the betrayal I feel when I learn the truth. Now I have to figure out if I can forgive him—and if he’s willing to fight for a love that was never as simple as I thought. 
  When Ivy Met Adam is a contemporary LGBTQ+ romance about confronting the past, healing old wounds, and taking a chance on love—even when it terrifies you. Loosely inspired by the biblical story of Eve, it’s full of second chances, steamy moments, and the messy, beautiful complexities of the heart.
