Queer Romance (MMC): Slippery Creatures by K.J. Charles

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.

Queer Romance (FMC): Back to Square One by Georgia Beers

It's never too late for second chances, even when you're Back to Square One.

Rowan Thomas wakes up after an accident with no memory of the last few years-including the end of her relationship with Evie Price. Evie is hersand everything is soft kisses and inside jokes. Only everyone insists they broke up years ago.

To try to cure her amnesia, Rowan tags along on an annual girls trip she apparently stopped attending (weird). Frozen margaritas and side-splitting laughter sounds like medicine, right?

But when Evie shows up looking gorgeous, and everyone starts acting a bit too cagey, what really happened between her and Evie isn't the only secret in play. And the more Rowan uncovers, the more she's sure of what her heart remembers.

Embrace the quintessential beach read and join award-winning author Georgia Beers for a summer of sun, swimsuits, and so much drama.
