Summer Sons


Book Description

Lee Mandelo's debut Summer Sons is a sweltering, queer Southern Gothic that crosses Appalachian street racing with academic intrigue, all haunted by a hungry ghost. Andrew and Eddie did everything together, best friends bonded more deeply than brothers, until Eddie left Andrew behind to start his graduate program at Vanderbilt. Six months later, only days before Andrew was to join him in Nashville, Eddie dies of an apparent suicide. He leaves Andrew a horrible inheritance: a roommate he doesn’t know, friends he never asked for, and a gruesome phantom that hungers for him. As Andrew searches for the truth of Eddie’s death, he uncovers the lies and secrets left behind by the person he trusted most, discovering a family history soaked in blood and death. Whirling between the backstabbing academic world where Eddie spent his days and the circle of hot boys, fast cars, and hard drugs that ruled Eddie’s nights, the walls Andrew has built against the world begin to crumble. And there is something awful lurking, waiting for those walls to fall. At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

Emma Long learned long ago that bad boy bikers are not for her—and Sean is everything she swore she'd never fall for again. Her wild child days are behind her, and that's where they'll stay. If only her stupid, traitorous heart didn't beat just a little faster every time he was near... It's possible that a friends with benefits arrangement could solve all their problems. But what will happen when they realize they've never felt more at home—or more like themselves—than when they're in each other's arms? In Your Arms, book 2 in The O’Malley Family series, is a steamy, bad boy/good girl wannabe, friends with benefits contemporary romance full of big, Irish families, even bigger emotions, and a guaranteed happily ever after.
