Summary

William Neilsen grew up on a farm next to The Abbey of the Falls. When his parents died in a tragic car accident while he was a teenager, the abbot agreed to offer a home to William, in exchange for him taking care of the farm, the produce from which fed the monks. The excess was to be sold in the abbey store and cheese and wine shop. William was happy living at the abbey. However, he never felt a religious calling to become a monk and the abbot never pressured him to do so.
Although he loves working in the fields and with the animals, it becomes too much for William to do alone. William asks the abbot for help and his request is answered when a young man, Samuel Drake, joins the abbey. William is confused both by his feelings for Samuel and Samuel's open and flirtatious behavior towards him. Samuel isn't like any postulant William has ever known, but he doesn't feel comfortable quizzing the young man about the nature of his calling to become a monk. 
William's discomfort and guilt intensify as his relationship with Samuel becomes more emotional and then physical. Although William hasn't taken a vow of chastity, that is Samuel's eventual goal. Or is it? Do William and Samuel have a stronger calling?

    Five years before, Aeschylus dragged his battered body home after a lifetime of service in Aegina's navy. He'd hoped for a place to curl up and forget. Instead, he'd found himself the city guard's captain and in the middle of a political firefight with Aegina's rival and nearest neighbor, Athens.  
Aeschylus had stopped the municipal kidnappings and made a berth for himself. A loveless and monotonous berth. 
No one with any sense would join the guard. Young hoplites itching for glory and gold joined the Marines or were hired as mercenaries. There was always a war somewhere. Aeschylus needed a decent guardsman. Someone who understood that everyone deserved the same level of protection. 
Aeschylus knew prayer was as dangerous as poking a hydra with a stick, but he was out of options. Aeschylus asked Ares, the god of war, to send him an old hoplite weary of fighting.  
Ares sent him Thêritas of Thrace. A young soldier on a divine labor. A handsome young soldier eager to learn what he could from Aeschylus. Gods sent men on labors to punish or prepare them for a glorious death. Aeschylus told himself there was no reason to borrow sorrows that hadn't yet happened. 
Mysteries were piling up.  
It would be up to Aeschylus and his appealing young guardsman to sort the mysteries from the genuine miracles and do their best to ensure Aegina didn't go straight to Tartarus. 
Aeschylus hadn't asked for a miracle. But as a result of his prayer, he got the whole miraculous ball of wax.

    Therapist. Client. Catastrophic chemistry. 
Dr. Nicola Forbes has spent years building a life defined by boundaries—clinical, emotional, ethical. But when Avery Hall, a rising Hollywood star, walks into her therapy office, Nic feels something she hasn’t in years: want. 
Avery is bold, brazen, and struggling under the weight of queer fame. 
Nic is grieving her wife, hiding behind professionalism, and failing—spectacularly—not to fall for her client. 
What begins with guarded glances and charged conversations becomes a line-crossing affair neither woman can walk away from. 
Nic knows the consequences. Loving Avery could cost her her license, her reputation, everything she’s built. 
But not loving her might be the greater loss. 
Love Me Like You Shouldn’t is a forbidden sapphic romance about desire, fame, and the kind of love that’s absolutely, dangerously worth it.
