by Amy LaneXander Karcek has only wanted two things in his life: Christian Edwards and basketball--the man he loves and the game that let him escape a childhood he'd rather forget. His two obsessions have served him well. He and Chris beat the odds and stayed together through high school, college, and right on to the NBA. But life under fame's microscope isn't easy, especially when two men are pretending to be frat-buddies so the world doesn't know they're the next best thing to married. Their relationship survives the sacrifices they make and the lies they tell to stay together, but when their secret is exposed, the fallout might destroy them when nothing else could. Chris and basketball are the two things holding Xander together. Now the world is asking Xander to make a choice. Is there an option that includes a future with the man he loves?
The Locket
by Richard Paul EvansWhen I wrote my first book, "The Christmas Box," it was an intensely personal expression. To me, "The Locket" has that quality too. When I was sixteen, a high school sociology teacher gave us the assignment to visit a nursing home resident every week for the duration of her course. My first meeting with my adopted resident, Lucille, was as awkward as I imagine a blind date with someone else's great-grandmother would be: Each attempt at conversation was met with blank, dubious stares. Through time, I soon learned that I was Lucille's only visitor. That she spent her weekends and holidays alone in her small room, looking out at the pastoral landscape of the care facility. My attitude began to change. Lucille never spoke to me, never even learned my name, but I began to see something change in her demeanor whenever I visited. A quiet gratitude, perhaps. A friendship. Two months later the assignment ended, but not my visits. I continued to spend time with Lucille until the day I walked in to find an orderly stripping her bed. When I asked Where Lucille was, the busy orderly replied, "She died yesterday."

Una locura para no perderte (Serie Seasons #Volumen 4)
by Mar Poldark«Rompieron los límites de su amistad creyendo que serían invencibles, lo único que descubrieron es que su barrera llevaba años hecha cenizas». Summer Thompson siempre ha sido un auténtico caos: libre, espontánea, con ganas de alcanzar las estrellas si así se lo propusiera. Podía brillar como si fuese parte una constelación que nadie quiere sacar a bailar porque destaca por encima de las demás. Zander Harris y ella eran los únicos que siempre se quedaban en un rincón de la discoteca viendo como las luces de colores envolvían sus cuerpos hasta hacerlos invisibles. Lo más sensato habría sido levantarse, marcharse de aquel ambiente del que ya no eran parte, pero el alcohol les hizo perder la razón: los límites de su amistad se rompieron en mil pedazos y ya no había vuelta atrás. Creían que la confianza que existía entre ellos era lo suficientemente fuerte para seguir adelante sin recordar la atracción que seguía haciéndoles cosquillas en la piel. Sin embargo, un amigo puede comprender tus flaquezas, pero no cada una de las heridas que cargas al ser diferente o al haber renunciado a un sueño. Y como todo peón en un grupo de personas prefieres ser parte de algo, antes que aceptar una soledad de la que pueden mofarse. Él no iba a alejarse del tablero, ni ella dejaría de hacerle arder, aunque fuese demasiado tarde para recuperar lo que tenían.
