Summary

Brian Morehouse Hunter is a newly promoted professor of English with a particular fondness for the novels of Dorothy L. Sayers. In his spare time, Brian writes erotic gay romance novels. Knowing his university colleagues wouldn't understand, and would likely be shocked, Brian keeps his two lives strictly separate. That is, until he accidentally emails a draft chapter of his latest story to Ken Tremont, a fellow professor, rather than one of his beta readers. Brian likes Ken, finds the man attractive, but is pretty sure he's straight.
For the next few days, Brian awaits his fate, fearing exposure, ridicule, and possible expulsion. But Ken seems to be biding his time. Unable to stand it any longer, Brian decides to approach Ken.
Will Brian's worst fears be realized? Or could this accidental outing reap unexpected rewards?

Memo says he can't take sides, which bothers August. August's work partner Tasha has his back. Why can't the man in his life? Things are bumpy for the pair and the town, but when something more sinister happens, it not only puts the calendar debate in perspective, it also puts August and his fellow firefighters' lives in danger.

    The myth of Theseus and the Minotaur has never been quite this steamy!
    
    
    Handsome Theseus journeys to Athens to claim his birthright as heir to the throne, and along the way he meets the roguish Pirithous, who teaches him all about matters of the heart ... and body. After a saucy encounter with a male nymph, they at last reach the city, and Theseus is shocked to discover his father, the king, has a tradition of sacrificing youths to the Minotaur, the monster inhabiting the island nation of Crete.
    
    
    Theseus, a hero at heart, knows he must do what he can to stop this terrible practice. After he and Pirithous liberate a male slave named Iphitrion, the three set out to slay the Minotaur. Once they arrive at Crete, they learn the island nation is ruled by a mad tyrant with a fetish for orgies who immediately strips Theseus and company of their clothes.
    
    
    Theseus soon discovers the king keeps a menagerie of mystical creatures hostage, and he must free them in addition to slaying the Minotaur and bringing his true love home to safety. Can Theseus successfully slay the beast, dethrone the tyrant, and save himself and his one true love?

    I would give my life to protect him… 
    _____ 
    Hil always felt out of place in his powerful wolf shifter pack. Not only was he gay, but at 20-years-old, he couldn’t shift. That meant that his alpha father had to protect him, or overly protect him. And in the dangerous underworld of New York City wolf packs, that meant that he was a prisoner in his Manhattan penthouse. 
    Wanting to have a life – and his first toes-curling night with a guy – he escapes stumbling upon a bed-n-breakfast in the middle of nowhere. Could it be fate that it’s run by Cali, a hot lone wolf shifter who makes his heart pound and gives him dirty thoughts? 
    Every moment spent with him awakens something within him. And when tragedy strikes and he’s stranded there, Hil discovers all of the things this powerful wolf can do with his rippling body. 
    Hil’s new alpha will sacrifice anything to keep him safe. But when Hil’s dangerous past comes looking for him, could Cali sacrifice include his life? Will Hil’s father’s vicious pack break his heart by claiming another victim? Or will Hil get his happy ending with the smokin’ hot wolf shifter of his dreams?

    Free soloing cliffs is dangerous. Love is riskier. 
    Dan McBride is reckless and relentless. He climbs cliffs no sane man would attempt, chasing accomplishment and danger in equal measure. Alone suits him—no ties, no promises, no one to lose. 
    Then Sejin steps into his life. Handsome, kind, and steady, Sejin belongs in ways Dan never has—and Dan wants him with a hunger as reckless as any climb. Every kiss is fire. Every touch, a risk he can’t stop taking. 
    But love isn’t a route Dan can plan, and Sejin isn’t sure it’s safe to give his heart to a man who refuses to stay grounded. 
    Soon they both realize the real question isn’t how high Dan can climb…but whether they can take the leap into something scarier than the tallest cliff: love.

    When a gay teenager is mercilessly stabbed in a high school bathroom in West Nowhere, Nova Scotia, the surrounding community is sent into a tailspin. While Colton fights for his life in a hospital room at West Nowhere General, everyone from a school janitor to the boy’s abusive stepfather overflows with emotion in the form of verse monologues, unburdening themselves of their feelings. 
    		 
    The Bright Afters is a poetic container for the pain endured by the town and surrounding area — and sometimes, their confessions. The voices we hear from include the sympathetic (a favorite teacher) and the arresting (the kid who stabbed Colton). As Colton recovers, his powder keg sister Christine and his escapist best friend, Annie, have the most to lose from the act that almost killed him — and the most to gain from coming to a new understanding about the senseless violence. 
    		 
    Told from a variety of perspectives, The Bright Afters seeks to interrogate collective and individual trauma, queer belonging, and the ways in which a place sculpts the people it produces. Its individual poems take their names from Broadway shows, containing all of the community’s fraught hope for a positive “big finish” to the story.
