Australia, 1992. The lives of long-time friends, Delia and Liz, are shattered by the tragic deaths of their partners on New Year's Eve.

Sue Parritt's THE YEAR OF LIVING RAINBOW is a poignant drama about friendship, love and resilience in the face of an unforgiving world.

    If you've ever had someone try to arrange a marriage for you … 
     
    If you have so many cousins you can't remember all their names … 
     
    If your parents only show love through food and unsolicited advice … 
     
    If your 'roommate' has been around for five years and your family still think it's just a great friendship … 
     
    Then this book is for you. 
     
    And if you've never experienced any of this? Well, aren't you just a little curious? 
     
     
    Meet Daniel Nour: Egyptian and Australian; loud and painfully awkward; conservative and very confused (especially about other boys). He's never quite pulled off normal, but 'not-normal' is where the best stories are. Now he's made his peace with that and is ready to share his wisdom. Told as a series of snapshots from Daniel's life – from 'How to Be Born' to 'How to Die' and everything in between – this is a sharply funny tale of culture, family and trying, but not always managing, to come of age. 
     
     
    At turns wildly absurd, sharply insightful and disarmingly heartfelt, How to Dodge Flying Sandals and Other Advice for Life is a fresh take on growing up in Australia.

     Love is cheap. Love is cruel. Love can’t save us. 
    Victor Lang had everything—looks, money, fame. A chance to become the greatest swimmer in history. Until a failed dope test brought him crashing down. 
    According to the rumors, he turned into a recluse, a drug addict, a whore. Broken beyond repair. Incapable of love. 
    And for some reason, he’s set his sights on me. 
    A freak accident in his pool throws me into a world of wealth and status and people who are willing to do anything to get what they want. Before I know it, I’m being paid to fly to Italy and pose as his boyfriend. Trapped at his side, I learn what it means to truly hate someone. 
    Turns out, that’s exactly what he wants. 
    I can’t save him, and I can’t love him. But as things fall apart and I discover the truths he’s hiding, I learn that hate can be greater than love—an obsession, a prayer, dark days and darker nights, a need to be the only one who hurts him. Hate can heal the worst wounds love leaves behind. 
    But I have problems of my own, a broken spirit and loved ones to protect. And I’m scared to face the things he’s waking up inside of me. 
    A gritty, emotional, epic hate-to-love slow burn with an inexperienced top and his bratty bottom, hurt/comfort, obsession, and healing. 
    **Contains dark themes, adult content, and potential triggers, including (potential spoilers): sexual abuse (off the page), suicidal ideation, drug abuse, disordered eating, trauma, death, mental illness, homophobic language

    The first time I got on my knees for President Ashley, it was the night of his inauguration… 
    And I was only doing my job… helping him remove his shoes. 
    I’m Lieutenant Commander Kenan Harper, the president’s trusted valet. His loyal aide. His bodyman… 
    And the fool who’s been in love with Garner Ashley since long before I took this job. 
    If I had my way, I’d be so much more than his employee, but to say that would be impossible would be the understatement of the century. Garner might be the first openly gay president, but the world’s not ready for a gay First Gentleman, and Garner’s never looked at me with anything but professional courtesy… 
    Until suddenly, he does. 
    The first touch between us sparks years of longing into a blaze so bright and wild, neither of us can deny our feelings any longer. But when a relationship is this forbidden, this career-ending, this… world-changing… both of us will have choices to make. 
    Will I remain in the shadows as the president’s bodyman… or stand out and proud by Garner’s side as the one he loves?

    As a high school hockey star, I was on track for greatness. Until an opponent attacked me on the ice, leaving me half blind. 
    For the past twenty-seven years, I’ve avoided hockey and its painful memories. But when my old teammates get back together to play in a local recreational league, I realize it could be a chance to rewrite history. The only person standing in my way is Jack Gross. 
    Hockey isn’t complete without a rivalry, and ours comes courtesy of the Blades: they’re younger, faster, and fronted by Jack, a former professional hockey player who hates my guts after a rooftop hookup gone wrong. 
    His cockiness and penchant for pranks make me hate him right back. But Jack has a special way of getting under my skin that makes me want to get into his pants. And well, I only have so much willpower. 
    As our teams get closer to a showdown on the ice, Jack begins shedding his armor of confidence. Despite getting to live the life I dreamed of, maybe Jack is as messed up as me. 
    The championship game could redeem the past for us both. But there can only be one winner. Will victory taste as sweet if it costs me Jack? 
    Gross Misconduct is a rivals to lovers, age gap, single dad, gay romance with no cheating and an HEA. It is book 1 in The Comebacks, a series about a friend group of single dads who were hockey all-stars in high school and looking to recapture the magic in their forties. Whether they win or lose, there's always a post-game beer.
