The Next 167 Hours – Christa Hickcox

Ember Rue is doing fine. Sure, this has been the worst year of her life, and sure, nothing seems to be getting any better, but she has a job, a friend, and a daily routine with her French bulldog, Stormy. She’s holding it together. Mostly. People who are mostly holding it together don’t need therapy, right?

When her sister insists that she start seeing a therapist, Ember assumes it will be a waste of everyone’s time. She doesn’t want to talk about the past and she would just like people to stop treating her like she’s broken. But the space that Dr. Kayla holds for her becomes a comfort and a lifeline, and soon her week is scheduled around making it through the 167 hours between sessions.

As Ember finds herself on a reluctant healing journey, her world outside therapy refuses to slow down. The gorgeous woman who moved in down the hall has her thinking she might be ready to put herself out there again, while her parents’ love life seems to be falling apart in the most peculiar way.

For The 1000th Time – Jen-Lea Mercy

Years ago, Abi left Vancouver heartbroken. Now she’s back — older, wiser, and sexier. Tess won’t know what hit her.

Abi Young is well acquainted with unrequited love and the void it leaves behind. While she had hoped moving to a different city would extinguish any residual feelings for her best friend’s older sister, it turns out absence really does make the heart grow fonder.

As the maid of honor, all Tess Moore wants is to give her sister the wedding of her dreams. Even if it means stepping out of her comfort zone and organizing a pre-wedding bridal party adventure. To make matters worse, the woman whose heart she shattered years ago will be participating. A woman she’s never been able to forget.

After what happened between them, two weeks in proximity to Tess should be hell for Abi. Instead, she deems it one last chance to show Tess the woman she’s become.

Will Tess be able to relax her role as the responsible sister long enough to notice? Or will Abi forever be seen as the kid with a silly crush?

Actually Invisible – Elisa Greb

Josie has felt invisible for most of her life—first as the only lesbian at her high school in the ’90s, then in a secret relationship with her closeted girlfriend, and now in a closet of her own as an English teacher at a suburban high school. Her silence is safe, stifling, and second-nature on most days and has taken a backseat to the monumental tasks of grieving her beloved father’s death and undergoing fertility treatments in her limited spare time.

…until a student comes out to her in a writing assignment, and she is thrust into a small-town spotlight. As the target of the student’s angry parents and a slew of anonymous threats, Josie must decide if it’s finally time to speak up for herself and risk her job, her family, and her ambivalence.

MULLIGAN: the Journey of Dreams – Nathanael Key

MULLIGAN: JoD does not shy away from real tragedies affecting many in our Community (suicide, sexual/physical abuse, abandonment, death and more). It’s about perseverance through the most unimaginable struggles; sacrifices to find happiness and acceptance in a world that has ignored, discarded, discounted, and mistreated Christopher all his life; finding hope and love through the darkness of his journey. Ultimately, it’s a story of healing.

Fictionalized, roman à clef memoir. Life-altering traumatic experiences plague young Southern gay teen Christopher Anderson, but his unlikely encounter with straight schoolmate Trey Moretto may change everything.

A real, poetic, dirty, painful, gritty, inspiring, sexual, beautiful love story of loss beyond measure, heartache, abuse, survival against inconceivable odds, and perseverance into adulthood.

Heartbreaking, tender, erotic—with plenty of humor, wit, heart, sizzling love scenes, military life, healing and all lead to a soul-soothing ending.

MULLIGAN tells the unconventional story of a tortured soul on his journey to find happiness, love, and acceptance, told during a time when this kind of clandestine love balanced on the cusp of sin and the brink of acceptance. This is an engaging, vulnerable, authentic coming of age story, dealing with abandonment trauma, repressed memories of abuse, heartbreak, sadness, sexuality—enough to soak your pants—joy, comfort, healing & love.

Rum And Rendezvous – Raquel Riley

What do you get when you combine terrible dating advice and a bottomless supply of consolation cocktails? Garnish with banter and sweet baked goods and you have the perfect recipe for love.

Ryan
After a string of failed dates, I was ready to give up on love.

Carson Carrick was the bangable bartender who was out of my league, barring one disastrous night turned perfect.

I was blown away when my one night stand stepped in to help change my luck. Under his careful direction, things went from bad to worse. I’ve started to wonder how someone could be so charming but suck at dating.

Maybe I was the problem after all?

Carson
I had no idea what I was doing when I offered to help Ryan find his match. But he was hot, gullible, and desperate. He needed me—I mean—he needed my help.

I should never have touched him, because now I couldn’t keep my hands off him. And the more I helped him look for the right guy, the more I became convinced that it was me.

I was beginning to think he had seen through my lame attempts at coaching him on dates. But why should he even bother looking for Mr. Right when I’m right in front of him?

How could I make him see I had more to offer than one night of rum and rendezvous?
