Here's the blurb...

Milan, 1913. Maestro Mandelli di Castagnino is resident conductor at La Scala, having taken over from the legendary Toscanini.

Barely in his mid-thirties, he is revered by the Milanese public and fêted by the city’s high society. But once the baton is down, and after another soirée in his honour organised by his sycophantic agent, he returns to an empty home, surrounded only by his servants.

Disenchanted and longing to leave his secret life behind, he accepts a post as resident chief conductor at the Odessa Opera House, causing consternation among his family and admirers.

After an eventful journey by land and sea, he settles in the elegant coastal city, improving the performance of the orchestra and winning the approval and friendship of the locals.

He also finds love, but the continent is about to sleepwalk into the carnage of a futile war and Imperial Russia is on the cusp of being rocked by the October Revolution.

Undeterred by the unfolding catastrophe and wanting to protect his beloved from the savagery of the civil war, he is confronted with a desperate choice.

Here's the blurb...

Set in the early 1970s, twenty-three year old American, Terry Gains, arrives unexpectedly in London—it was not part of his life’s plan. Knowing no one he soon meets two older, gay American expats, Carlos and Burt and finds an instant social life.

Their Earls Court basement flat is conveniently located near London’s legendary gay pub The Coleherne, and the below-ground disco, Catacombs, just around the corner (with its also-legendary men’s room), both historically real places.

Terry lands a job at Harrods, the iconic department store, and gets a life’s education in food, fashion, culture and style as he interacts with his wealthy, titled customers and colorful fellow employees.

When life with Burt and Carlos doesn’t work out Terry finds more suitable digs and meets the story’s main characters, his new flatmates Tess, Gracie and Finn, all young people Terry’s age.

One day an improbable new face—“The Face”—appears at the flat. This is Sebastian, a charismatic top model and entrepreneur. In no time Terry and his flatmates become fatefully entangled in Sebastian’s world of glamour and intrigue. Meanwhile, Terry discovers the downside of being bisexual in a heterosexual relationship as he and Tess become serious.

Want to know more? Here's the blurb...

Ted Cornish thought he'd met the man of his dreams when he started dating Joshua Kade. Intelligent, charming, and handsome, Josh swept Ted off his feet—until the past began to seep into their blossoming romance. Josh’s name was linked to a chilling, unsolved murder from a decade ago. His former boyfriend, Reggie Baker, had been found dead of knife wounds in an alley in Chicago’s Boystown, and though Josh was never convicted, rumors swirled about his involvement.

Now, a decade later, true-crime podcaster Bailey Anderson is reopening the case, and the more he investigates, the more convinced he becomes that Joshua Kade is the killer. As Bailey digs into the details, his podcast uncovers troubling new evidence, and he reaches out to Ted, hoping to interview him for insight into Josh's character. Ted, initially resistant, starts to see the cracks in his perfect relationship. Josh is jealous, possessive, and increasingly erratic—his actions match his sweet words less and less.

The tension between Ted and Josh mounts as the questions linger: Did Joshua kill Reggie all those years ago? And if so, what does that mean for Ted's future? As Ted spends more time with Bailey, his suspicions grow. The more they talk, the more the pieces of the puzzle start to fit, and it becomes impossible to ignore the mounting evidence that Josh may be a cold-blooded killer. But there’s more to Bailey than meets the eye—he’s not just a podcaster. Bailey is Reggie’s brother, driven by grief and a thirst for justice. He won’t stop until he uncovers the truth.

When Ted finally accepts the horrifying possibility that Josh is the killer, Josh's behavior takes a dangerous turn. In a volatile outburst, he threatens Ted, leaving him terrified for his life. As the walls close in, Ted must decide whether to flee and expose Josh's dark secret or risk everything to confront the man he thought he loved.

The next fantastic title from the ever-brilliant B.J. Irons is out now! Read free on or get your ebook or paperback version from the link in our profile now!

Here's the blurb...

Fresh off a divorce and armed with a label maker, lifestyle guru Miles Whitaker escapes to Rehoboth Beach to sip cocktails, reorganize his trauma, and find inner peace between color-coordinated throw pillows. Enter Hudson Knight: Hollywood’s most unfiltered trainwreck—sunburned, scandal-wrapped, and crashing the beach like it’s a red carpet afterparty.

One is a control freak with a Pinterest board for everything. The other thinks “self-care” means tequila in the shower. They shouldn’t work—but somehow, between beach walks, flaming exes, tabloid drama, and one truly deranged brunch—something real begins to unfold.

Toss in a meddling mother in a caftan, a media circus, and a career curveball no one saw coming, and suddenly this “relaxing” retreat turns into the plot twist of the summer.

The Rehoboth Retreat is a laugh-out-loud romantic comedy about unlikely chemistry, second chances, and what happens when love refuses to follow your carefully curated itinerary.

Here's the blurb...

Marcus Greenspan is a doctor working in the American Hospital in Paris in the winter of 1919. The First World War has just ended, and he is anxious to return home to Kentucky and to his fiancé, Sarah Gold.

Paris is alive with the freedom that comes with peace, and Marc is swept away by the wild social life of his adopted city. He begins simultaneous affairs with an older French woman, Aurélie Laprix, and a young German prisoner of war, Maximilian Berger.

Things become complicated when his best friend at the hospital, a British doctor named Paul Cordette, embarks on an affair with Max’s old roommate, Django Bernhardt, and then Marc finds out Sarah is on her way to Paris.

What happens to our round-robin troupe of lovers during this unprecedented moment of history -- and how they extricate themselves from their happy, self-made predicament -- is the story of ‘Aurélie & Max’.

Contrary by .egan is available now! Get your copy from the link in our profile, or read free on Kindle Unlimited!

An eclectic mix of twenty-one stories and a two-act play, the collection includes comedic tales as well as some dark dives into human psychology. The settings span America, Britain, and Greece, and the characters range from young/old, rich/poor, and straight/gay, with a contrary beagle making a star turn as does a ghost or two. The conclusion, Duet, is an intimate drama featuring a therapist and a woman who is dealing with the aftermath of a plane crash and ensuing disability. Stylistically diverse, the work spans literary and genre fiction.

“I have long considered Laury A. Egan a master of the short story. This collection sets that view in concrete. Bravo!”—T.D. Johnston, author of Reciprocity and Friday Afternoon and Other Stories

Contrary is a vivid portrayal of the human condition in its many varied forms. Through a series of short stories and one play, author Laury A. Egan provides empathetic, thought-provoking commentary on class, gender, sexuality, age, abuse, and disability. At the heart of each tale: difference, an Other-ing from the mainstream. By spotlighting the diversity of the Other, Contrary contradictorily leaves the reader with a feeling of togetherness and the hope for a brighter future.”—Jennica Dotson, author of “A Reaper’s Folly”

Here's the blurb...

What happens when you just don’t want to say goodbye? Sometimes in life, you have to lose everything to find out what you actually need. ‘That Is What We Are’ is the sequel to Max Austin's raw and emotional bio-fictional memoir, 'How Can We Be Wrong?'

With breathtaking honesty, this book continues to capture the truth of the LBGTQIA+ experience set against the backdrop of changing hospital life and wider society. Something is eating away at Max but he can't quite put his finger on what it is. Why on earth can’t he just be happy for once? He’s guilty that his navy blue nurse's uniform feels more like a straitjacket every time he puts it on. But what next? And more to the point, will he dare to tell anyone how he feels? Many of his motley crew return to navigate the twists and turns of life. Our friends are joined by new people along the way to help them learn to be the best that they can be; no matter how much it hurts in the process.
