A recently out divorcee must explore his identity and how to not be the straight-acting man he's been his whole life. Just when he has found his footing, a flamboyant trans man jumbles up his ideas about what it means to be gay, to be masculine, to be a man. *** Edwin realises he's gay at the ripe age of 56. Coming-out should set him free to finally explore his sexuality, but honestly? He feels lost. He's getting a divorce after thirty years of marriage, half of his friends turn out to be homophobes, he feels an interloper in LGBT places, and for the first time ever, he's living alone. His only remaining certainty - the one he's risked everything for - is that he's attracted to men. To affirm his sexuality, Edwin focuses on everything masculine and seeks out gay men like him. But just when he finds his footing, a flamboyant gay man jumbles up all his ideas about what it means to be gay, to be masculine, to be a man. If Edwin wants to find his community, he'll need to re-examine what it takes to belong. *** Cover by the amazing @SmokeAndOranges! Cover image found by @galaxiesuniverses

Some people are designed to follow the rules. Thomas is one of them. Raised in the shadowy corridors of a Catholic Church, ideas like order, routine, and discipline are the binds that keep his life together. As the head boy and leader of the next generation of orphans, he has never questioned the rules he never dared to break. That is, until a certain sharp tongued American decides to test that faith. Because, yes, some people are designed to follow the rules. And some people are designed to break them. After being slung across the Atlantic into a church stuck centuries in the past, Damien sees his last minute adoption as the final nail in the coffin of his freedom. Bedtimes, chores, rules, punishments, it's a joke he didn't find funny. But there is one interesting thing here. A dark secret held by the biggest rule follower of them all, a secret Damien can't help intensifying. Because some rules were meant to be broken.
