The hits just keep coming for Troy Barrett. Traded to the worst team in
the league would be bad enough, but coming on the heels of a messy
breakup and a recent scandal… Troy just wants to play hockey and be
left alone. He definitely doesn’t want to “work on his online presence”
with the team’s peppy social media manager.
Harris Drover can tell standoffish Troy isn’t happy about the trade,
but Harris doesn’t give up on people easily. Even when he’s developing
a crush he’s sure is one-sided. And when he sees Troy’s smile finally
crack through his grumpy exterior… That’s a man Harris couldn’t turn
his back on if he wanted to.
Suddenly, Troy’s move to the new team feels like an opportunity—for
Troy to embrace his true self, and for both men to explore their
growing attraction. But being together behind closed doors is one
thing, and for Troy, being in a public relationship with Harris will
mean facing off with his fears, once and for all.
Pro hockey star Ryan Price may be an enforcer, but off the ice he
struggles with anxiety. Recently traded to Toronto, he’s determined to
make a fresh start in the city’s dynamic LGBTQ+ Village. The last thing
he expects to find in his new neighborhood is a blast from his past in
the fabulous form of Fabian Salah.
Aspiring musician Fabian loathes hockey. But that doesn’t stop him from
being attracted to a certain burly ginger-bearded defenseman. He hasn’t
forgotten the kiss they almost shared back in high school, and the
chemistry between them has only intensified.
Fabian is more than happy to be Ryan’s guide to the gay scene in
Toronto. Between dance clubs and art exhibits—and the most amazing
sex—Ryan’s feeling something he hasn’t experienced in a long time: joy.
But playing the role of the heavy on the ice has taken its toll on his
body and mind, and a future with Fabian may mean hanging up his skates
for good.
Suddenly out of the blue a letter arrived that would change Norma's
life completely. After reading it and not really taking in what was
written there she read it a second time asking herself 'Why Me'!
She could not believe what was written there and kept saying to
herself over and over 'Why Me' why has he left it to me? It must be
meant for someone else! She couldn't be that lucky could she? After
all the dark days she had endured since her husband Ben had died so
suddenly this would be some sort of miracle if it was true but she
knew it couldn't possibly be! But what if? A 'New Chapter in her
Life' about to begin and if so where might it lead?
A rollicking, big-hearted story of long-lost love, friendship, and a life well-lived, set at a Florida retirement resort for queer women, on the last day of resident Hannah Cardin’s life.
It’s 2067 and Florida is partially underwater, but even that can’t bring down the residents of Palm Meridian Retirement Resort, a utopian home for queer women who want to revel in their twilight years. Inside, Hula-Hoopers shimmy across the grass, fiercely competitive book clubs nearly come to blows, and the roller-ski team races up and down the winding paths. Everywhere you look, these women are living large.
Hannah Cardin has spent ten happy years under these tropical, technicolor skies, but after receiving a terminal cancer diagnosis, she has decided that tomorrow morning she will close her eyes for the very last time. Tonight, however, Hannah and her raucous band of friends are throwing one hell of an end-of-life party. And with less than twenty-four hours left, Hannah is holding out for one final, impossible thing…
Amongst the guest list is Sophie, the love of Hannah’s life. They haven’t spoken since their devastating breakup over forty years ago, but today, Hannah is hoping for the chance to give her greatest love one last try.
As Hannah anxiously awaits Sophie’s arrival, her mind casts back over the highs and lows of her kaleidoscopic life. But when a shocking secret from the past is revealed, Hannah must reconsider if she can say goodbye after all.
Spanning the course of a single day and seventy-odd years, and bursting with irresistible hope, humor, and wisdom, this one-of-a-kind novel celebrates the unexpected moments that make us feel the most alive.
Keur 10 van dié gewilde liefdesverhaalskrywer sluit drie
bekoorlike verhale in: Die glasappel is ’n heerlike roman
waarin humor en eksentrisiteit sjarmant verweef is.
In Die blou uur besef Klarissa du Toit dat haar man se werk
besig is om ’n wig tussen hulle in te dryf, maar is ’n toekoms sonder
hom wat sy werklik wil hê?
En in Die groen maan kom die protagonis voor die eeueoue
probleem te staan: Besluit jy met jou hart of jou kop wanneer dit kom
by die liefde?
Two kids meet in a hospital gaming room in 1987. One is visiting her sister, the other is recovering from a car crash. The days and months are long there. Their love of video games becomes a shared world -- of joy, escape and fierce competition. But all too soon that time is over.
When the pair spot each other eight years later in a crowded train station, they are catapulted back to that moment. The spark is immediate, and together they get to work on what they love - making games to delight, challenge and immerse players, finding an intimacy in digital worlds that eludes them in their real lives. Their collaborations make them superstars.
This is the story of the perfect worlds Sadie and Sam build, the imperfect world they live in, and of everything that comes after success: Money. Fame. Duplicity. Tragedy.
Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow takes us on a dazzling imaginative quest as it examines the nature of identity, creativity, disability, failure, the redemptive possibilities in play and, above all, our need to connect: to be loved and to love.
