Sinopsis

Robert Byng has recently returned from his Grand Tour of Europe to settle in New York City. An old friend lends Byng his rooms at Chrysalis College (an equivalent of real-life New York University, perhaps also partially modelled on the Tenth Street Studio Building). It is there that Byng meets his mysterious and reclusive neighbor Cecil Dreeme, and the two strike up a romantic friendship. However, Byng is also tempted by the villainous Densdeth, who seems to want the protagonist to fall into a life of unspecified sin and debauchery. Published posthumously by the author's friend George William Curtis in 1861, Cecil Dreeme has been called "one of the queerest American novels of the nineteenth century" by scholar Peter Coviello, and it addresses themes of gender and sexuality.

    Ensnared. Trapped. Committed.  
    What kind of nightmare had he stumbled into? 
    Richard Clayson was a walking paradox. A symbol of law and order, yet his mere presence aroused a wild and dangerous yearning in Beau. He never expected to find himself engaged to Richard. 
    But here they were. 
    As the Rebel Brotherhood threatened to tear their town apart, Richard's loyalty was tested. His dedication to justice was unwavering, but what about his loyalty to Beau? 
    He could feel the darkness creeping in, threatening to consume them both. Death and danger were all around them. 
    Could they make it down the aisle? 
    The lines between good and evil blurred, and Beau couldn't help but wonder if they were both in too deep. 
    Gone were the junkie and the wh*re. 
    In their place stood the Sheriff and the devil. 
    The question was, could they survive the reckoning that was coming for them? 
      
    Warning: this is an M/M romance, M/M second chance romance that includes gore, violence, a large M/M romance age gap, and a HEA southern wedding.

    Warning: This book may make you laugh out loud in public. Unlucky at love Marie inherits a pile of money and takes her entire eccentric Italian family on vacation, before she plans to split to Hollywood to meet her favorite actress, then must dodge them all when the actress shows up at the same resort. Marie Santora's Italian family is a little crazy, but when Marie inherits her grandmother’s estate, they now have a million more reasons to act nuts. It soon becomes clear that the amount of money Marie needs to live comfortably will be decided by her family—if they don’t get enough of her money, she won’t live comfortably. Marie plans her escape. She’ll give her family a parting gift and then move to Hollywood to chase her dream of writing film scripts. But with millions at stake, it will take more than a free vacation to Jamaica to get the erratic Santora family to toe the line. And the timing couldn’t be worse when her hot pursuit changes from screenplay to foreplay. Now she has to stop her loud-mouthed clan from spilling her secrets as fast as they’re swilling Jamaican rum. Climb aboard this hilarious roller coaster ride where Marie is left wishing “out” was the new “in,” and where every lounge chair is a hot seat when the Santora family ventures this close to the equator. The island of Jamaica just may not be big enough.

    Everything in Emery Hazard’s life is finally going well: his boyfriend, Nico, is crazy about him; he has a loyal partner at work; and he has successfully closed a series of difficult murders. By all accounts, he should be happy. What he can’t figure out, then, is why he’s so damn miserable. 
     
    After a fight with Nico, Hazard needs work to take his mind off his relationship. And someone in town is happy to oblige by murdering the sheriff. The job won’t be easy; the sheriff had enemies, lots of them, and narrowing down the list of suspects will be difficult. Difficult, but routine. 
     
    The arrival of a special prosecutor, however, throws the case into turmoil, and Hazard and Somers find themselves sidelined. With an agenda of his own, the prosecutor forces the case toward his favorite suspect, while Hazard and Somers scramble to find the real killer. As the people they care about are drawn into the chaos, Hazard and Somers have to fight to keep what they love--and to keep each other. To find the killer, they will have to reveal what each has kept buried for years: their feelings for each other. 
     
    And for Hazard, that’s a hell of a lot scarier than murder.

    Covering - The Hidden Assault on...

    Everyone covers. To cover is to downplay a disfavored trait so as to blend into the mainstream. Because all of us possess stigmatized attributes, we all encounter pressure to cover in our daily lives. Given its pervasiveness, we may experience this pressure to be a simple fact of social life.Against conventional understanding, Kenji Yoshino argues that the demand to cover can pose a hidden threat to our civil rights. Though we have come to some consensus against penalizing people for differences based on race, sex, sexual orientation, religion, and disability, we still routinely deny equal treatment to people who refuse to downplay differences along these lines. Racial minorities are pressed to "act white" by changing their names, languages, or cultural practices. Women are told to "play like men" at work. Gays are asked not to engage in public displays of same-sex affection. In a wide-ranging analysis, Yoshino demonstrates that American civil rights law has generally ignored the threat posed by these covering demands. With passion and rigor, he shows that the work of civil rights will not be complete until it attends to the harms of coerced conformity.
