Book Description
My marriage to my wife ended once the kids left the house. All of a sudden, we didn't know each other. We divorced. It was amicable. It's not exactly a new story. Here I am, forty-three, and in shape. Not to get too cocky, but let's just say I'm the kind of man my age who is *very* eligible. The problem? Every woman I've dated I've had no interest in. What exactly is wrong with me? Then I got sick. I had to stay in the hospital. That's where I met Taden, my young, handsome male nurse... ...And everything in my life changed. He asked if I needed help getting into the shower, and he helped me undress. His touch lingered on my skin like electricity. But I'm not gay. I'm attracted to women! So why do I find myself thinking about Taden every waking minute? Why do I fantasize about him in my dreams? And why do I desperately want to tell him... ...so he can touch me again? The Young Nurse is a steamy, explicit stand-alone M/M gay romance book that depicts a budding, passionate, and unexpected love, a man learning new things about his sexuality, pain, temptation, and a happy ending.

Enemies in Love
Author: Alexis Clark
Publisher: The New Press
ISBN: 1620971879
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 176
Book Description
A “New & Noteworthy” selection of The New York Times Book Review “Alexis Clark illuminates a whole corner of unknown World War II history.” —Walter Isaacson, New York Times bestselling author of Leonardo da Vinci “[A]n irresistible human story. . . . Clark's voice is engaging, and her tale universal.” —Jon Meacham, Pulitzer Prize–winning author of Thomas Jefferson: The Art of Power and American Lion: Andrew Jackson in the White House A true and deeply moving narrative of forbidden love during World War II and a shocking, hidden history of race on the home front This is a love story like no other: Elinor Powell was an African American nurse in the U.S. military during World War II; Frederick Albert was a soldier in Hitler's army, captured by the Allies and shipped to a prisoner-of-war camp in the Arizona desert. Like most other black nurses, Elinor pulled a second-class assignment, in a dusty, sun-baked—and segregated—Western town. The army figured that the risk of fraternization between black nurses and white German POWs was almost nil. Brought together by unlikely circumstances in a racist world, Elinor and Frederick should have been bitter enemies; but instead, at the height of World War II, they fell in love. Their dramatic story was unearthed by journalist Alexis Clark, who through years of interviews and historical research has pieced together an astounding narrative of race and true love in the cauldron of war. Based on a New York Times story by Clark that drew national attention, Enemies in Love paints a tableau of dreams deferred and of love struggling to survive, twenty-five years before the Supreme Court's Loving decision legalizing mixed-race marriage—revealing the surprising possibilities for human connection during one of history's most violent conflicts.

Book Description
What The Heart Wants: A Gay Romance Collection is a bundle of 3 steamy, sensual gay romance stories featuring sexy, passionate, and sweet M/M love stories. From brand new experiences, to new self-discoveries and awakenings, to lusty first times, and love that stands the test of time, these three gay romances by gay romantic fiction favorites Raiden King, Topher James, and Reya Karl will make you laugh, smile, cry, fan yourself, and leave you wanting more. Contained in this 300 page box set are the gay romance books A Second Chance, The New Assistant, and The Plan. * A Second Chance I never thought I’d love again. Even if I could, I didn’t even know if I wanted to. I was betrayed… I had my heart broken. And I was in mourning… I lost a dear friend. Something inside me just shut down. I didn’t want to go out. I didn’t want to face the world. But then I saw him again… Keifer… the man who broke my heart. And it all came rushing back. The emotion, the fire… the heat… the memories… the rage. So I punched him. Yeah, I punched him real good. I thought it would be over. I never expected to keep thinking about him. I never expected that he… that he was still thinking about me. I always said to myself that I wouldn’t give anybody a second chance. Cross me, and you’re out, gone, and we’re finished. But now I find myself changing my tune. I don’t know if I’ll be able to give him a second chance. But I know that I’m going to try… and we’ll see where this goes. Because I still love Keifer. And doesn’t love deserve a second chance? * The New Assistant I lost a lot that day. Almost everything. That day they still come to my door to ask me questions about. That day the reporters won’t ever forget… I knew I would mourn… And I knew I would grieve… But I never truly realized that… one day… I’d move on. It all started with my new assistant. His eyes looked into my soul. I felt as if I was falling into them. I became obsessed with him. Me, a man previously married to a woman! And here I was, fantasizing about a colleague at work, a subordinate, no less. What a cliché. But it was what I was feeling, and I was determined to keep it to myself. I failed, of course. Everything all started to unravel when I told him he was beautiful. And my world stopped dead. * The Plan Simon Bad break-up, moving to a new city, starting a new job. Who hasn’t experienced that before? I expected this whole thing to be cliché and predictable. What I never expected was for my new boss, Greg, to be drop-dead gorgeous. Six-feet tall, endless eyes, and a sexy-as-sin body that I could explore every inch of. Just one problem, though… I don’t know if he’s gay. I can’t stop thinking about my new boss… and of all the ways he could touch me. Of all the ways he could love me. I need a plan if I’m going to get this man. * Greg I never pass up an opportunity, both professionally and personally. So of course I took the opening to be the new project lead. And of course I took an interest in the new hire, Simon. What I didn’t expect was chocolate eyes and gorgeous curls. What I didn’t expect was to want to take Simon home the very first time I saw him. But there’s a problem… he’s my subordinate. I’ve never let rules stop me before, though. I’m going to make Simon mine, and he’ll have to do what I say. *

Gay Like Me
Author: Richie Jackson
Publisher: HarperCollins
ISBN: 0062939807
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 118
Book Description
Chosen by Town & Country as one of the most anticipated books of the year | Named "An LGBTQ Book That'll Change the Literary Landscape in 2020" by O: The Oprah Magazine In this poignant and urgent love letter to his son, award-winning Broadway, TV and film producer Richie Jackson reflects on his experiences as a gay man in America and the progress and setbacks of the LGBTQ community over the last 50 years. “My son is kind, responsible, and hardworking. He is ready for college. He is not ready to be a gay man living in America." When Jackson's son born through surrogacy came out to him at age 15, the successful producer, now in his 50s, was compelled to reflect on his experiences and share his wisdom on life for LGBTQ Americans over the past half-century. Gay Like Me is a celebration of gay identity and parenting, and a powerful warning for his son, other gay men and the world. Jackson looks back at his own journey as a gay man coming of age through decades of political and cultural turmoil. Jackson's son lives in a seemingly more liberated America, and Jackson beautifully lays out how far we’ve come since Stonewall -- the increased visibility of gay people in society, the legal right to marry, and the existence of a drug to prevent HIV. But bigotry is on the rise, ignited by a president who has declared war on the gay community and fanned the flames of homophobia. A newly constituted Supreme Court with a conservative tilt is poised to overturn equality laws and set the clock back decades. Being gay is a gift, Jackson writes, but with their gains in jeopardy, the gay community must not be complacent. As Ta-Nehisi Coates awakened us to the continued pervasiveness of racism in America in Between the World and Me, Jackson’s rallying cry in Gay Like Me is an eye-opening indictment to straight-lash in America. This book is an intimate, personal exploration of our uncertain times and most troubling questions and profound concerns about issues as fundamental as dignity, equality, and justice. Gay Like Me is a blueprint for our time that bridges the knowledge gap of what it’s like to be gay in America. This is a cultural manifesto that will stand the test of time. Angry, proud, fierce, tender, it is a powerful letter of love from a father to a son that holds lasting insight for us all.

Publisher: Oxford University Press, USA
ISBN: 0190920246
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 209
Book Description
For over a century the focus of psychotherapy has been on what ails us, with the therapeutic process resting upon the assumption that unearthing past traumas, correcting faulty thinking, and restoring dysfunctional relationships is curative. But something important has been overlooked: the positives. Shouldn't making us happier, better people be explicit goals of therapy? Positive Psychotherapy: Workbook guides readers through a session-by-session therapeutic approach based on the principles of positive psychology, an exciting new area of study examining the factors that enable us to flourish. This workbook, designed to be used in conjunction with the accompanying clinician's manual, first explains what exactly positive psychotherapy is, exploring the important concepts of character strengths. What follows are 15 positive psychotherapy sessions, each complete with lessons, guidelines, skills, and worksheets for practicing positive psychology skills learned in session. Those interested in improving well-being through psychotherapy will find in Positive Psychotherapy a refreshing complement to other approaches, endowing readers with a sense of purpose and meaning that many have found lacking in more traditional therapies.
