Summary

You are cordially invited to view one of a triptych of stories involving the lives and loves of gay men who work or volunteer at the Sunrise Arts Center in Stafford, North Carolina.
The three stories in this box set revolve around three men -- one a high school senior, one thirty-something, and one recently retired -- as each looks for companionship and love.
Contains the stories:

Whitney: Becoming the director of an arts center close to where he grew up seems like the perfect opportunity for a fresh start for Whitney Pell. He enjoys playing the field ... for a while. Then he begins to miss being part of a couple. The wedding band on Stuart Blount's finger means he's straight, or does it? Will Whitney's present cause the picture of domestic bliss they're painting to be torn apart?

Jonathan: Retired English prof Jonathan Baker joins a men's book group and meets high school English teacher Frank Cummings. The men have several things in common. Both teachers, both belong to the same church, and both are of a similar age. Jonathan has previously lost a lover to illness and fears history repeating itself. Should people their age enter into relationships or just stay friends?

Louis: Louis LeFevre doesn't fit in. He's Haitian, gay, and is a photography nerd. Judd Thomas is a soccer jock and needs help with an art term paper. Louis helps him get the terms and concepts right. They make for unlikely study buddies, much less lovers. Will their relationship develop into something beautiful or will they be forced to blow the whistle and walk away?

    Welcome to the club "Whip" where all your darkest desires will be fulfilled... 
    Books included: 
    1. Baby Boy 
    Damien never expected to fall in love again. As the head of a powerful empire, he’s used to being in control; of his life, his business, and the people he spends his night with. But from the moment he met Dean, the quiet, haunted man who refused his advances, everything changed. 
    2. White Russian 
    Misha Vasiliev's past is a nightmare; one he can never fully escape. Rescued from a human trafficking ring in Moscow by the CIA, he’s brought to America, desperate for a chance at a new life. 
    3. Pleasure doing Business 
    Michael Jones is used to being in control; of his exclusive kink club, of his secrets, of his life. But when a relentless stalker shatters his carefully built world, he’s forced to do something he never thought he’d need; hire a bodyguard. 
    4. The Manny 
    David Cross’s life is a mess. Between juggling a demanding job, a brilliant but impossible son, and a string of nannies who quit before their first paycheck, he’s barely keeping it together. He needs help—desperately. Enter Mihail Turgenev. Young, quiet, and carrying enough baggage to fill a cargo plane, Mihail is the last person David expects to be the solution to his problems. 
    5. The Brother 
    Stefan swore he was done with love. After a brutal breakup and the humiliation of watching his ex move on—engagement ring and all—he’s resigned himself to a life of work, solitude, and carefully guarded emotions. Love, as far as he’s concerned, is a story best left unfinished. 
    But then his new PA walks through the door—sharp-witted, infuriatingly competent, and a redhead, of all things. A haunting echo of the past, yet entirely his own kind of chaos, Sasha disrupts the quiet existence Stefan has built for himself.

    It's the Swinging Sixties and dynamic, catsuit-clad Liberty Moon sets up business as the city's sexiest, trendiest, swingingest lesbian detective. Aided by Clare Sullivan, a horny and curvaceous student, and Holly Hazzard, a scatterbrained hippie reporter, Liberty takes on a range of insidious female adversaries, including a renegade war criminal, a murderous witch, a trio of communist spies, and a mad scientist and her beautiful if dim-witted daughter.
    Maya Anders is back with another witty and outrageous sapphic romp. With settings ranging from a women-only nudist club to a psychedelic pop concert, it's a breathless nostalgic trip through a bygone age of free love and flower power, with plenty of cool chicks and hot lesbian liaisons.

The original commanders of the expedition are sent back to Terra, and it's left to Jacob and others to keep their city safe. But with the power of Terra behind those they call the unholy trio, can they manage it? And will Jacob ever be anyone's good luck charm?

    Three Rivers Campground is calling you to come relax, explore, and maybe even fall in love . . . 
     
     
     
    Trish Rivers lives a good life. A happy life. A safe and predictable life spent running the cafe at her family's campground, perfecting her award-winning recipes, and terrorizing the local small town bartender with her endless supply of bad jokes. Trish has never wanted more—or at least, she's never admitted she wants more, but that was before Kennedy March showed up on Vancouver Island. That was before Trish realized falling for your sister's girlfriend's best friend doesn't fit into a safe and predictable life, especially when you've never fallen for a girl before. 
     
     
     
    Kennedy's not sure why life as a real estate star in Toronto doesn't feel quite as shiny as it used to, but a spontaneous vacation to visit her newly coupled-up best friend seems like the perfect opportunity to ignore the problem. Three weeks without client calls, benefit galas, and, most of all, dating apps is worth braving the woods for, but her plans for relaxation come crashing to a halt at the sight of Trish—the absolutely off-limits and definitely straight little sister of her best friend's new girlfriend. There's no path to each other that doesn't end in disaster, but the farther they go, the more Trish and Kennedy realize it might be too late to turn back.
