Flyleaf

Tim Mead

Summary

An inscription in the front of a book has unexpected consequences for Adam Craig, the new English professor at Colby State University.
Adam has recently ended a long term relationship. Although the split was amicable, Adam is lonely. Enter sexy bookseller Tony Lucanno, the source of the book with the inscription. Adam has had previous dealings with Tony but the book brings them face to face for the first time. Alas, Tony can't shed any light on the mysterious inscription, which Adam believes is a coded message from an older gentleman to a younger man. To add to Adam's frustrations, Tony lives in Ann Arbor, at least seventy miles from Colby, which makes dating difficult.
Much closer to home is Blake Bellamy. Adam is captivated by the younger man on first meeting. However, their second meeting is in the classroom. Blake is a late entry student for one of Adam's classes.
Adam has a decision to make. It isn't easy. Tony or Blake? Will the inscription in the flyleaf point him in the right direction?

Our Favorite Pastime

K.S. Murphy

Logan Jean used to be inseparable from his best friend and teammate, Riley Sinclair. From stick ball to Little League to state championships, Logan and Riley were a team of two. That changed one fateful night near the end of high school, when Logan lost the best person in his life over a stupid mistake he never meant to make.
Now adults, Logan must face Riley in what might be the turning point of his Minor League career. Riley is no doubt getting called up to the Majors, Logan hopes to get called up as well, and both are competing for this season's MVP award. But if he can't strike out the one batter that's haunted him since high school, Logan may never get his big break. 
Riley Sinclair has spent the past seven years getting into their ex-best friend's head to taunt and psych him out, trying to beat him on the baseball field, instead of trying to undo the damage they'd done to their relationship when they were younger. Tonight, after the biggest game of their Minor League careers, Riley might have one last chance to explain to Logan what really happened all those years ago, and maybe fix what's been broken. 
Does Logan have what it takes to strike out his biggest rival in the league? Can Riley muster up the nerve to finally say to Logan what they've wanted to all this time? Or will the two of them remain strangers, standing sixty-feet apart, forever?

Jean - A Novel

Madeleine Dunnigan

Set over one hot summer, a startlingly assured debut about the kinds of love that break us and make us whole.
Seventeen–year–old Jean, a troubled Jewish boy caught in the countercultural swirl of 1970s London, arrives at Compton Manor, a rural alternative boarding school for boys with “problems.” Dyslexic, antisocial, and prone to violent outbursts, Jean has never made friends easily and school has never been a place of safety or enjoyment.
Compton Manor is his last chance, but even here, despite the unconventional teaching methods, Jean is marked by difference. The other boys are fee–paying, while Jean is on a grant; they have good, English families, while Jean’s mother, Rosa, is a German–Jewish refugee and his father is an absent memory. Having broken the rules several times, Jean is on thin ice. But there is only one summer to get through and then Jean will pass his exams and get out.
All of a sudden, he is befriended by Tom—confident, charming, buoyed by years of good breeding and privilege—and it seems as if Jean’s world might change. When things turn romantic, Jean is tipped into a heady, overwhelming infatuation. Now Jean skips class to venture into the woods, or sneaks across moonlit fields to see Tom, wondering whether the relationship might offer a way out of a life marked by alienation. But what if the only true path to freedom is to disappear altogether.
Spellbinding and evocative, Jean is a meditative narrative of loss and escape distilled into the heartrending story of an intense and dangerous adolescent love.
