Now, their burning need could cost them everything. This steamy hot-for-teacher, straight-to-bi M/M romance has an HEA and no cliffhanger. Forbidden attraction… Shakespeare professor Ben Silver teaches in a small college town with few prospects for love. Most gay men he meets are students and off-limits. That's never been a problem until architecture major Chase takes over set design for the college production of Macbeth. Older than most college juniors, his maturity and leadership skills—not to mention his smoking-hot body—capture Ben's attention. But a tryst could ruin Ben's career, and he can't risk it. Awakening desire… Former petty officer Chase Coltrane understands fraternization rules. His years in the Navy taught him to keep his hands to himself, especially where people in authority are concerned. But when Ben ignites Chase's attraction to men, Chase's self-control heads out to sea. He wants to explore this newly discovered part of himself, and the sexy, charismatic professor has tied knots around his heart. Will his desperate attempt to win the man he loves destroy their future? Or will it lead them on a path to lasting love?

    Something happened three years ago that made them pariahs; that lost Skylar her friends; that keeps all of the Deacons in denial. The tension within the house is so high that Skylar spends most of her time with her older sister Alexandra, who is confined to her room in order to recover from an accident. Skylar dreads her summer English class -- she'll have to deal with new people who don't know her family's mysterious history. However, as the teacher, Mrs. Vargas, reads stories and poems aloud, Skylar finds herself pulled from her denial into anger, then through the other stages of grief. It is only then that she can tell her new friends from class the truth: Alexandra was abducted three years ago, and they will probably never see her again. It is her first major step towards letting go -- and letting Alexandra's tangible form stop haunting their home.

    Samuel Szajkowski, a recently hired history teacher, walked into a school assembly with a gun and murdered three students and a colleague before turning the weapon on himself. It was a tragedy that could not have been predicted. Szajkowski, it seems clear, was a psychopath beyond help. Yet as Detective Inspector Lucia May- the only woman in her high-testosterone office in the Criminal Investigations Department-begins to piece together the testimonies of the various witnesses, an uglier and more complex picture emerges, calling into question the innocence of others. But no one, including Lucia's boss, is interested. As the pressure to close the case builds and her colleagues' sexism takes a sinister turn, Lucia begins to realize that she has more in common with the killer than she could have imagined, and she becomes deter­mined to expose the truth. Brilliantly interweaving the witnesses' accounts with Lucia's own perspective, A Thousand Cuts is a narrative tour de force from a formidable new voice in fiction.
