Jason likes to think he's outdoorsy. He hikes, he runs, he makes bad decisions on mountain bikes with his best friend. If he weren't stuck in his office job with his insane boss and his busy schedule, he might even have time to go camping. But when his boss gets involved in a high-publicity scandal and needs to spend some time away from civilization, Jason thinks he might be in over his head. Not only do he and his coworkers get dragged away into the heart of the Alaskan backcountry, but they're also stuck with a gruff hunk of a fishing guide who is dangerously handsome and lamentably straight. Jason's been unlucky enough in love, and this new unreciprocated crush just makes him miserable. Nick isn't exactly ecstatic to be working with Jason and his colleagues, either. The company's CEO is a handful at the best of times, and one of his fellow guides winds up fueling his ego and his dangerous hijinks. To make matters even more stressful, he develops a fixation he can't explain with the CEO's gay assistant. As the two work together to corral Jason's boss, they find that they have a lot in common. Nick isn't interested in men, but with Jason he just might make an exception. It doesn't take long for things to get hot and heavy, and Nick is confronted with desires he's never thought about and doesn't want to explain to himself.

Off the coast of Istanbul, near what was once Constantinople, crown of the Byzantine Roman Empire, is a place called the Prince Islands, a magical Mediterranean archipelago. The islands' many monasteries were home to dozens of displaced royalty-exiled princes and banished empresses-victims of the ever shifting political climate of Constantinople. So many found their new home there that their names were lost to time, and the name of the island chain was changed to reflect their presence. Prince Caius is the newest exile to the islands, sent to a tiny spit of land called Terebinthos, home of Demos-the handsome young son of a fisherman in the island's single tiny village. Demos, lonely and stifled, knows he will never leave the islands and has already seen all the faces he'll ever meet. So, when he meets Caius, equally lonely and trapped by his destiny, their connection is instant. Caius becomes his closest friend and teacher, and as they learn more about the secrets of the island and Demos's own family, their friendship blossoms into an ill-fated love. Caius's ambitions drive a wedge between them that could become deadly as an unknown rival threatens Caius's life and the lives of those close to him. Though their hearts yearn for each other, circumstances seem determined to pull them apart. Is it the will of God or the cruelty of man that separates them? Can they change their destinies and find a way to be together in spite of a world that conspires against them? What secrets does the monastery of Terebinthos hold, and how might they change Demos's family forever? Is there hope for this dissatisfied young man and the exiled prince?

Asher Green spent the last decade of his life fighting a monster. Not the kind found in fairytales and fantasy, with wings, horns and gnashing teeth, nor the kind that can be defeated with a simple swipe of a sword. No, Asher has been wrestling with the monster that lurks inside his father-the one that creeps from the dark crevices of his father's mind whenever he drinks. His mom died when he was twelve, and Asher's father was never the same. Ten years later, he and his fifteen-year-old sister, Stella, are taking the brunt of the rage and grief burning in their father's heart. They've learned how to handle the violent outbursts, how to protect each other, how to help one another when things get bad-but Asher realizes Stella is slipping, despite the relative stasis of their household. He flounders, completely unsure about what to do or how to help her, and he's desperate to try and protect her from the worst of their father's monster. One day at a group counseling session, Asher meets Sam and Claire.

Asher finds solace in Sam, and he suddenly feels less alone, less pessimistic about his and Stella's precarious situation. But when one mistake brings their relationship to a grinding halt, Asher has to turn his focus away from Stella's issues for once and struggle with his own. Uncertain, unguided, and alone, Asher must look within himself and decide if he can open up to another and accept help-or if he'll continue on the desolate path he's been walking for years.
