But when she’s given the classroom next to Melissa Martin, a woman sexy as sin, she finds herself immediately interested. Just one problem… Melissa’s got a boyfriend, Glen. It could never work. Falling for a straight girl is a big no-no. But when Melissa comes to Kayla for sexual advice, everything changes. Melissa wants Kayla to be her sexual mentor… to teach her what to do in the bedroom.

The exact moment one thing changes into another fascinates me. Sometimes, it happens because of a change in temperature. Sometimes, it happens because another element is introduced. Anne was that other element. She was the exact moment of change in me. My sexual awakening. She showed me things I’d never experienced before. Made me feel a pleasure I’d never imagined before. Forced me to feel alive in a way I’d never felt before. I let her conquer my body. I let her dominate my mind. I gave myself to her, utterly, completely, totally. I fell in love with her. Chemical reactions can be explosive. But sometimes, destructive. I didn’t know how we were going to navigate the forces that tried to pull us apart. All I knew was that Anne and I had formed a bond. And we would have to fight if we wanted to keep it… * The Assistant Mia is a high-powered woman, CEO of an international pharmaceutical company, with too much to worry about each and every minute of each and every day. That’s why she hired Heather as her assistant. While Mia appreciated the young woman’s beauty, that didn’t factor into it. Heather was as capable as they came.

She longs to feel the press of Heather’s full lips against hers. She yearns for a touch of Heather’s skin against her skin. Mia has never felt this way about an employee before. And she’s not sure what she’s going to do when she realizes that Heather is sending her signals back…

The Afterward


Book Description

"I love this book so very much."—Robin LaFevers, New York Times bestselling author of the His Fair Assassin trilogy Romantic high fantasy from the bestselling author of Star Wars: Ahsoka and Exit, Pursued by a Bear. It's been a year since the mysterious godsgem cured Cadrium's king and ushered in what promised to be a new golden age. The heroes who brought home the gem are renowned in story and song, but for two fellows on the quest, peace and prosperity don't come easily. Apprentice Knight Kalanthe Ironheart wasn't meant for heroism so early in life, and while she has no intention of giving up the notoriety she's earned, reputation doesn't pay her bills. Kalanthe may be forced to betray not her kingdom or her friends, but her own heart as she seeks a stable future for herself and those she loves. Olsa Rhetsdaughter was never meant for heroism at all. Beggar and thief, she lived hand to mouth on the streets until fortune--or fate--pulled her into Kalanthe's orbit. And now she's reluctant to leave it. Even more alarmingly, her fame has made her profession difficult, and a choice between poverty and the noose isn't much of a choice at all. Both girls think their paths are laid out, but the godsgem isn't quite done with them and that new golden age isn't a sure thing yet. In a tale both sweepingly epic and intensely personal, Kalanthe and Olsa fight to maintain their newfound independence and to find their way back to each other.




Far From Home


Book Description

**The marriage was of convenience. The feelings? Not so much.** My name is Rachel. I'm straight ... I think. I also have a mountain of student loans and a smart mouth. I wasn't serious when I told Pari Sadashiv I'd marry her. Except Pari needs a green card, and she's willing to give me a breather from drowning in debt."




A Year Straight


Book Description

After having spent nearly her entire adult life dating women (and liking it), Elena Azzoni felt pretty secure in her sexual orientation: she’d even just been crowned Miss Lez 2007. Then, one day in yoga class, a male teacher moved in close to adjust her pose . . . and she suddenly found herself intensely—bafflingly—attracted to him. Eventually she initiated a flirtation with him; after that, there was no going back. A Year Straight is a chronicle of the hilariously disastrous year following Azzoni’s abrupt dive into the world of dating men: old enough to drink and keep her own hours, but as clueless as an adolescent when it comes to deciphering men’s words and actions, Azzoni is uniquely positioned to find herself in some ridiculously absurd scenarios. Often cringe-worthy and occasionally unbelievable, A Year Straight is a wildly entertaining look at one woman’s experiences dating a new sex—the opposite sex.

Memory Mambo


Book Description

Memory Mambo describes the life of Juani Casas, a 25-year-old Cuban-born American lesbian who manages her family's laundromat in Chicago while trying to cope with family, work, love, sex, and the weirdness of North American culture. Achy Obejas's writing is sharp and mordantly funny. She understands perfectly how the romance of exile—from a homeland as well as from heterosexuality—and the mundane reality of everyday life balance one another. Memory Mambo is ultimately very moving in its depiction of what it means to find a new and finally safe sense of home.

Also contained is the bonus book Tacking in the Wind. * Chance This Fate Sometimes, what seems like chance might just be fate… Patrick couldn’t know how much his life would change that dark night. He saw them beating the poor boy, kicking him while he lay cowering on the ground. He did the right thing, just being a good Samaritan. But when he gazed into the auburn eyes of the eighteen year old boy, his heart jumped, and his stomach tightened. The boy, Colton, was gorgeous, and his sparkling eyes stole Patrick’s breath away. Instantly, he knew why they were beating the boy, and it broke his heart. But what else could he do for the boy? He did his duty as a decent man, and saved Colton from a cruel battering. He never even considered that he’d saved Colton in another way, too. And he certainly never expected that Colton would, in turn, be his savior… * Colton knew why they were beating him. It was because he was gay. It wasn’t the first time, and it wouldn’t be the last. But what he didn’t know was that this time, a man would rescue him. He certainly didn’t know the man would be so handsome, so protective, so caring. He’d never thought he’d meet a man like that. A man he could love. But love is rarely so simple, and Colton was inexperienced. Little did he know, he had awakened Patrick, reignited his cooling heart. Like Patrick had saved him from a vicious attack, Colton was now saving Patrick in his own, special way... * Touch This Fire He burst through the smoke, larger than life. The fireman who would be my savior. He hoisted me over his shoulder, and stole me back from the molten jaws of death. Shawn was his name. And when he set me down outside, smoke bellowing out of every window of the building behind him, he took off his mask, and my heart stopped dead. Those eyes… those beautiful eyes pierced me. Looked right through me. Looked right into me. He told me I would be alright, and then stormed back into the building, a tornado of a man. Shawn looked every bit the hero. But when they carried him out of the building, blackened and hurt, and sent him careening away in an ambulance… The heart that he had stopped with those arresting eyes stopped again. I had to find him. I had to tell him thank you. Maybe I could help him. Little did I know that I would fall in love with him… …and that he would fall in love with me. * Make Me Whole I took him in… I helped to heal him… But it was he who made me whole… Dan and I were friends from work. I never thought anything romantic could blossom between us. We went to the movies as friends, never as dates. We went hiking together as friends, never as a couple. I knew I was missing something in my life… I just didn’t know what. Or who. Until, one fateful hike, Dan slipped and broke his leg. I did the best I could, administered what first aid I could, and together, we made it to the hospital. But he was going to be immobile for a while, and he needed someone to take care of him. I volunteered. I wanted to help my good friend heal. I took him into my home. And suddenly, my life felt so much more complete, as though until now I was not whole… just one part. But I don’t know how Dan feels. All I know is that I’ll take care of him. I’ll help him heal. I never expected that it would be him who made me feel whole. I never expected that, in his own way, he would heal me…
