For fans of Casey McQuiston and Always Only You, Queried Sick is a slow-burn romance about two bisexual disasters finding love while working at a publishing company during the pandemic—complete with grumpy/sunshine vibes, found family, and an attention-seeking cat. Social distance makes the heart grow fonder… Ezra Beaumont never felt like New York was truly his home, which is why he’s spent the last seven years studying abroad at university and backpacking across Europe. Some may say he’s running from his problems, but he just hates feeling stuck. Then COVID-19 starts ripping its way through Europe. Within weeks, Ezra is back in New York and on lockdown for the foreseeable future. And to make matters worse, the person training him at his new job seems to hate him Oliver Wheeler used to love his job at Coleman Press. But starting to train a new hire at the onset of a worldwide health crisis when he’s already overworked is enough to make him snap—especially since that new hire has no prior publishing knowledge. Yet, somehow, even without experience, Ezra proves not to be as bad as Oliver initially thought. Through a constant stream of bad literature quotes, text exchanges about Oscar Wilde, and Zoom dates to watch television, Oliver and Ezra find themselves falling for each other. But can a relationship work when CDC guidelines require you to keep your distance?

Who says politics and (fake) dating don’t mix? Congressman Jamie Montgomery knows that re-election will be tough as a young, single man representing a newly redrawn district in North Carolina. And that’s without him coming out as bisexual. But when he sees Adrian across a bar, Jamie forgets about the political need for discretion. It’s supposed to just be one night, but after being publicly outed, fake dating the gorgeous veterinarian may be the only thing that can save Jamie’s campaign. The more time they spend together, the more they want with each other. But after a childhood as a military brat, big-hearted but anxious Adrian is used to keeping everyone at a distance, finding it easier to connect with animals than people. As November approaches, Jamie's re-election is anything but certain. And even if he wins, can introverted Adrian be happy as a politician's boyfriend? Bi-Partisan is a charming, fake-dating, political romance, with a bi-awakening and physical and mental health representation. This is the first book in District Love, a series of interconnected stand-alone novels set in Washington, D.C.

Natalie Bennett lives a life dictated by routine. She’s never been the type to act on impulse. However, when the promotion she rightly deserved goes to her incompetent male coworker, she does exactly that and quits. For the first time in her life, Natalie doesn’t have a plan—until she gets a call informing her that her grandmother fell and broke her leg. Without a career keeping her in the city, Natalie decides to finally return to the small coastal town where she spent her teenage years to help Grandma Peggy. Evie Howe has always dreamed of opening her own witchcraft shop. In the past few years since moving to St. Henry, she and her best friend Stella have built a successful online presence for Lavender & Thistle. And now, with the Holiday market fast approaching, it will be their first chance to make their dreams of a physical location a reality. Evie doesn't expect to become distracted by her septuagenarian friend's granddaughter, but something about the lost look in the grumpy woman's eyes does exactly that. Despite Natalie and Evie being complete opposites, the spirit of small town holidays keeps bringing them closer. But is that Yuletide magic enough to keep them together? Yule Be Home for the Holidays is a sapphic pagan holiday romance published as part of Home for the Holidays, a collection of standalone novellas connected by a singular spreading queer joy during the holiday season.
