When I need a date for my cousin Omar’s wedding, I don’t even think of asking my best friend’s brother. Johnny Shiba—my hot as sin, teenage gay awakening—has been gone for years. But now he’s moved back in with his brother and me, and, no, he hasn’t gotten less hot. Being in close quarters with him, my decade-long crush only burns brighter. We can’t cross that line because I could never betray my bestie—not that Johnny has any interest in me.

My life is turned upside down when I'm suddenly given custody of my sister's infant daughter. My dad used to call me the troubled child. As a high school dropout and former party animal, I admit, he was right. But I'd been trying to figure things out.

I guess that’s why I formed a fascination with a local children’s show host and author.

Tucker, with the help of his new assertive friend Kiara, must learn to balance his newfound freedom with school and a job, and if he meets a cute boy on the way, then that's just an added bonus. Paint is a story of self-discovery, of queerness outside the family-friendly safety net of a high school drama, and of drag queens when you need them the most.

Austen's always wondered about the words on his wrist, "my sun still sets without you, like nothing ever happened." Sam's wondered the same, with "so keep out of my room because I've seen enough of you today" grazing his. All it takes is a complicated relationship and an argument for the two to figure out that they were born for each other.

A high-heat novella about two quirky people who would never seek out a date via online platforms or at speed dating, but their weird seems to compliment each other. Add in a romantic picnic date, a rainstorm, and a love of books and the outdoors, and Zan and Deacon might just carry away your heart.
