Forgetting

Wayne Mansfield

Sinopsis

The test of any relationship is whether someone will stick around when times get tough.
Mark has middle-level Alzheimer's. There are long periods of time he cannot account for. Often he can't remember the names of everyday objects, or even of people. This is both unsettling and irritating. He spends a good deal of his time in a comfortable armchair by the window, looking out at the back yard. 
But there is a man in the house with him. Mark doesn't feel threatened by his presence. Just perplexed. Who is he? What is he doing there? All Mark knows is that he is handsome and has the most beautiful blue eyes he has ever seen. There are moments when he thinks he remembers who the man is, but as time marches on and the disease ravages his brain, he becomes less and less sure. 
Perhaps it isn't even a man.

Until We Meet Again

Christina Lee

Bruce "Bones" Lanning and Emil Ettinger had a decent roommate arrangement at Roosevelt College, so they agree to share the same space again. Their relationship has always been ridiculous banter and competitive streaks, and they assume this year will be the same. 
 
 
 
So why are they suddenly enjoying nights holed up in their room together? 
 
 
 
Bones can't figure out why he likes being around Emil so much and why he's suddenly falling asleep in Emil's bed. And as far as Emil knows, Bones is straight, so why does he seem jealous when Emil arranges a random hookup, then asks all sorts of questions about what it's like to kiss another guy? 
 
 
 
To put an end to his roommate's endless queries, Emil kisses Bones, convinced he's just goofing around. But one encounter leads to another, until Emil begins seeing Bones in a different light. Underneath the clueless, carefree facade lies a deeper emotional underpinning that allows Emil to become more vulnerable too—and maybe even admit that spending time with his roommate is the best part of his day. 
 
 
 
Still, Emil isn't about to become another jock's experiment, so he makes it clear that their hookups are totally casual. Until they're not.

On the first stage of their journey, Cuthbert falls foul of Mr. Lemuel Freeman, Lady Antonia's stern twin brother, who condemns Cuthbert's frivolous ways.

When We Meet Again

Hayden Hall

Rafael owns my heart. He stole it with the first clumsy bump in a Parisian bookstore, and I never asked him to return it. 
 
 
 
He gifted me a night to remember, a night that shaped the person I would become. And then, I lost him. I lost every trace that could have helped me find him. Until fate meddled again and put Rafael and me on the same cross-European train through the Alps. 
 
 
 
But if I hoped that some divine hand guided us to one another, I was terribly mistaken. 
 
 
 
Our second encounter sparked a decade of failed attempts and missed chances. For years, I yearned to be with him, and for years, something took him away. Our lives are so intertwined that we will never be free of one another. And yet, each time I see him, my dream of a happy ending fades a little more. 
 
 
 
Is stealing moments with Rafael enough to live on? Can I survive on glimmers of hope? I don't think so. 
 
 
 
It's time to take our happy ending away from fate's hands. It's time to break this cursed cycle once and for all. 
 
 
 
Contains mature themes.
