Teachers in Love: Book Three

On paper, they're a disaster. In the sheets, they're a perfect match. Kent Lester is proud of the joyful, thriving learning community he's created as principal of Lear Elementary School. But seven years after his divorce, he's ready to focus on his personal life and spread his bisexual wings. Things get off to a rocky start when Kent's first date is an uptight control freak - although that doesn't stop them tangling some sheets. Vincent Manda never seems able to move past the friend zone, and besides, he's not sure anyone can handle his OCD. But that night with the bearded, older Kent revealed a side of Vincent he'd never experienced before. And he's equal parts scared of and desperate for a repeat. When Lear's test scores take a nosedive, Kent finds himself under the microscope. Forced to implement new software to monitor and collect school data, he's horrified to discover that Vincent is working on the project. With his last install ending less than ideally, Vincent's job depends on this one succeeding - and butting heads with the principal won't help. Vincent and Kent need to view each other in a new light, but that could change their futures forever.

Teachers in Love: Book Two

Beauty and the Bear. Can these opposites fake their way to something real? Sheldon Soleskin should be having a horrible day. Even though he's been unexpectedly transferred to a new school right before the holidays, has only one day to set up his new classroom, and just discovered his twin sister's been hiding an invitation to his ex-boyfriend's Christmas Eve wedding, he's still ready to take on the world with a smile on his face and a skip in his step. Theo Berenson just wants to be left alone to his custodial duties. But when the chipper new first-grade teacher needs help moving furniture the Sunday after Thanksgiving, he's forced to do something he detests. Help. To make matters worse, Theo's overbearing parents are coming for Hanukah in a few weeks, and he's told them he has a boyfriend. Except he doesn't. Because who would want to date an oaf like Theo? Working together, these opposites discover they might be able to help each other out. Agreeing to be each other's dates, they become friends as they practice for their upcoming events. But when all the rehearsing starts feeling a little too real, and both men's pasts come roaring back to haunt them, will they be able to pull off the ultimate holiday masquerade? Advance Praise for Mistletoe and Mishigas "Sheldon and Theo's opposites-attract, Beauty-and-the-Beast chemistry grabbed me from the first chapter and never let go. Their past traumas are handled deftly with Wardell's now-signature humor and care, creating a love story both steamy and sweet, with an HEA steeped in personal growth and full acceptance of the other. Wholly delightful and full of Hanukah spirit-Wardell's voice jumps off the page." - Anita Kelly, author of Something Wild and Wonderful

Binding tight, pages clean and unmarked, spine without crease. Cover shows some wear at edges and corners, most notably on the back.

A lush, sweeping queer historical romance from the bestselling author of Boyfriend Material--perfect for fans of Netflix's Bridgerton, Evie Dunmore, and Lisa Kleypas!


When Viola Carroll was presumed dead at Waterloo she took the opportunity to live, at last, as herself. But freedom does not come without a price, and Viola paid for hers with the loss of her wealth, her title, and her closest companion, Justin de Vere, the Duke of Gracewood.



Only when their families reconnect, years after the war, does Viola learn how deep that loss truly was. Shattered without her, Gracewood has retreated so far into grief that Viola barely recognises her old friend in the lonely, brooding man he has become.



As Viola strives to bring Gracewood back to himself, fresh desires give new names to old feelings. Feelings that would have been impossible once and may be impossible still, but which Viola cannot deny. Even if they cost her everything, all over again.

Nicholas “Coal” Claus used to love Christmas. Until his father, the reigning Santa, turned the holiday into a PR façade. Coal will do anything to escape the spectacle, including getting tangled in a drunken, supremely hot make- out session with a beautiful man behind a seedy bar one night. But the heir to Christmas is soon commanded to do his duty: he will marry his best friend, Iris, the Easter Princess and his brother’s not-so-secret crush. A situation that has disaster written all over it. Things go from bad to worse when a rival arrives to challenge Coal for the princess’s hand...and Coal comes face-to-face with his mysterious behind-the-bar hottie: Hex, the Prince of Halloween. It’s a fake competition between two holiday princes who can’t keep their hands off each other over a marriage of convenience that no one wants. And it all leads to one of the sweetest, sexiest, messiest, most delightfully unforgettable love stories of the year.

First of the Will Darling Adventures trilogy.

Light Paperback (1 lb or less)

Will Darling came back from the Great War with a few scars, a lot of medals, and no idea what to do next. Inheriting his uncle's chaotic second-hand bookshop is a blessing...until strange visitors start making threats. First a criminal gang, then the War Office, both telling Will to give them the information they want, or else.




Will has no idea what that information is, and nobody to turn to, until Kim Secretan-charming, cultured, oddly attractive-steps in to offer help. As Kim and Will try to find answers and outrun trouble, mutual desire grows along with the danger.




And then Will discovers the truth about Kim. His identity, his past, his real intentions. Enraged and betrayed, Will never wants to see him again.




But Will possesses knowledge that could cost thousands of lives. Enemies are closing in on him from all sides-and Kim is the only man who can help.




A 1920s m/m romance trilogy in the spirit of Golden Age pulp fiction.

Slippery Creatures

A. J. Truman

A gay romance for fans of big guys, sweets, snowstorms, and second chances.

Signed by both authors and dedicated to Artemis, which probably isn’t your name, alas.

Included are stickers, a bookmark, and a post card sized print.

What's worse than being snowed in with your ex? Literally nothing. Initially, the only thing Marshall and Marshall had in common was a name. Marshall (aka Data) lived his life around spreadsheets, while Marshall (aka Marsh) was an F5 tornado of chaos. Yet for eight years, they were madly in love. Until Marsh abruptly ended things with a half-baked excuse. Six months later, Data gets a text from Marsh out of the blue: they need to clean out their cabin in Maine and sell it ASAP. He can make it through one more weekend with the man who broke his heart. Marsh loved adding squiggles to the straight lines of his boyfriend. If only he could've lived up to the potential Data saw in him. If only he didn't feel like he was one big miscalculation on Data's ledger. Saying goodbye to Marshmallow Mountain will be the final tie to sever, even though he still pines for his number-crunching teddy bear. But when a massive snowstorm traps them in their small cabin for days, they're forced to confront hard truths about their breakup...as well as resist the sweltering heat raging between them. These boys might be headed for a second act, but only if they can make it off Marshmallow Mountain.

Kate Bornstein

The original edition published in 1998. Not only an investigation into gender identity but also a fascinating look at how understanding of the topics has shifted in the past quarter century.

Pages are clean and unmarked, quizzes and prompts are not filled out. Binding is tight and spine uncreased. Biggest flaw is a curl to the lower right corner.

With "My Gender Workbook," Bornstein brings theory down to earth and provides a practical approach to living with or without a gender. She also takes aim at efforts to naturalize gender differences.

Memoirs of Gender and Identity

Carolyn G. Heilbrun

An interesting book from 1973 collecting essays by the author concerning gender and literature.

Binding is tight and interior pages clean and readable. A fair amount of foxing on the page edges and also an ink stain (see picture) which does not impact readability. Minor wear to the dust jacket, but no major tears.

Carolyn Heilbrun opens our eyes to the ways in which the concept of androgyny -- the realization of man in woman and woman in man -- has run from its source in pre-Hellenic myth through the literature of the Western world. Here brilliantly brought to life are long-unrecognized manifestations of the androgynous ideal: in the classic drama, with its celebration of the feminine impulse toward life; in the Gospels, as Jesus breaks with the paternalistic tradition; in the medieval ambiguities of the cult of Mary and the courts of love; in the Renaissance, with its developing view of a more autonomous human being, culminating in Shakespeare's androgynous vision. Moving toward our own time, Mrs. Heilbrun traces the emergence of the woman hero in fiction. Clarissa and Hester Prynne, the strong women characters in Jane Austen, the Brontës, and George Eliot, the heroines of male writers -- Henry James, E. M. Forster, D. H. Lawrence -- are all seen as androgynous creations. And the writers of the Bloomsbury group are looked as exemplifications of the androgynous ideal both in their art and in their lives. -- From publisher's description.
