[Formerly titled Ice Cold Eyes] Phil Stevens is pretty sure that his life is how he wants it to be. He's got great friends, he's in a band, he does pretty well at school, and his family are great, if a bit over-protective. He might be hiding the great big whacking secret that he's gay, but his twin sister Tammy knows and loves him anyway. He's Christian, but he's not worried that God will particularly mind that he likes boys. He is, however, a bit worried that his parents will mind. Phil's got his plan; once he moves away from his parents and his religious community, he can come out at a safe distance and hope the dust settles swiftly. But a chance meeting with a guy from another school throws a major spanner in the works. Paul is funny, kind, talented, and openly gay. And he's interested in Phil. Phil never thought he'd want to risk everything for a boy, but Paul isn't the kind of guy who wants to go back in the closet. Tammy, along with Jason, Dave, and Lily, want to support Phil to be the happiest he could possibly be, queer or not, but can Phil handle the complications that come with liking a boy? Join Phil in this coming-of-age love story as he navigates friendship dramas, underage drinking at messy house parties, balancing religion and queerness, and finding family along the way. PLEASE NOTE: This book is not anti-religion, the main character has a good relationship with his religion, it just looks at some of the difficulties faced by modern day religious queers. All religious beliefs are respected here!

A modern lesbian re-telling of Pride and Prejudice. Madeline Darcy is the spoiled heiress to Midori Enterprises, her family's business. Francesca Bennet is living in a two-bed apartment with her sister and son, working two jobs to pay the rent. They have absolutely nothing in common, except for a friend, Gates Bingley, and a tendency to judge on first impressions. An hour after their first encounter, both women have sworn to detest each other. Frankie thinks Madeline Darcy is an uptight, proud woman with nothing more in her head than vanity, and Madeline thinks Frankie Bennet is a rude, opinionated woman with no class. Over the course of one intense year, the two are thrown together more often than they'd like. Between interfering exes, scheming best friends, mischievous sisters, and stubbornness, Frankie and Maddie have some turbulent waters to navigate. Will they look past their first impressions? Can they grow to like each other? Will gossip and rumours get in the way? Join these two stubborn disasters as they take their journey.

Finn has an honourable position; personal servant to the monarch of Cafi, a small country off the coast of France. He also has not-so-honourable a position; a man in love with another man, in the early 1800s. Oliver is being forced towards marriage, and Finn is being forced towards accepting his love is unrequited. As France begins to fall into another revolution, the world begins unravelling around them. Oliver has to fight to maintain the democracy he established, and Finn must cope with the reawakening of his less-than-ideal past as a con artist in the search for his long-lost brother. The two must learn who to trust and who not to trust as they begin to know each other more deeply than they every thought they could. Content Warnings Applicable to This Story: This book is set in the early 1800s, and I don't want to avoid talking about the horrendous things that happened to people of colour then. It will talk about slavery, but from a firm anti-slavery perspective, never glorifying or making excuses for it. Cafi itself is a fictional country and while I absolutely believe they would have had slave trade too (because most places did and I don't want to pretend they didn't), I want the book to include Oliver's fight to abolish slavery in his country. Otherwise, there may be previous mentions of abuse, but it will be extremely mild, nothing graphic, and the chapter itself will pre-warn you. Oliver's relationship with his family can be problematic at times. Please take care of yourself during any chapters that may be triggering for you.

Book Three of the Café Latte Trilogy Some people are masters of music or art. Some people are masters of denial and emotional repression. Harper and Edward both belong to the latter group. Neither Harper nor Edward want to be with anyone else, but they can't quite get it right with each other, either. The first time they tried, Harper was too busy adjusting to a life with HIV. The second time they tried, Edward's career was taking him around America. The third time they tried, they realised they had zero healthy communication skills. And now? Well, now they're afraid to try again. It worked for a while, their will-they-won't-they relationship enough to satisfy the people around them. But as time went on, the problems became more and more obvious. Harper is too busy putting everyone else's feelings above his own, and Edward is too busy hiding his true feelings behind a mask of glitter. The others want to start meddling, but they don't know if they're opening Pandora's box. There's so much history, and so many complicated feelings. Can Harper and Edward work things out together?

Tom begins to realise that keeping his work and his personal life separate may be tougher than he had originally thought. Can Tom balance his new life, or will it all come crashing down around him?
