Named a 2024 Honorable Mention Book by the Louisiana Library Association During Mardi Gras 1973, Stewart Butler (1930–2020) fell in love with Alfred Doolittle—a wealthy socialite and schizophrenic from San Francisco.

A survivor of the horrific Up Stairs Lounge arson, Butler was a founding member of the first statewide lesbian and gay rights organization in Louisiana and an early champion for transgender rights, playing a key role in the eight-year struggle to persuade PFLA...
I’m a planner. I like to know what’s coming next. I plan my days, my holidays, my love life. Which is why, when my fiancé, Paul, unplanned our holiday—and our entire future—just before Christmas, it felt like everything was slipping out of my control. But I didn’t panic. Instead? I planned. I figured a trip home to Oregon to see my family for the holidays would help me forget my failed engagement. Or at provide distraction in the form of Mom’s sugar cookies. The only thing is—you can’t plan the weather. And as soon as I checked in for my flight, my plans were screwed again, and instead of going home for Christmas, it looked like I’d be spending Christmas eve snowed in and all alone at the airport. When a tall, rugged Irishman offers to distract me, first with chocolate, and then with a drink, and then with… other things… I realize that maybe it’s okay to leave things a little unplanned now and then.
A hilarious small-town romance from USA Today bestseller Delancey Stewart I was beginning to wonder if this whole thing had been a mistake. “Go for it!” My agent had said. “It sure can’t hurt your career!” he’d told me. But agreeing to pose as Juliet Manchester’s boyfriend was something that might have begged a bit more thought. Here's the thing: my career was sinking, and being linked to Juliet—even for a minute—could yank me out of the murk of obscurity and back into view of the directors and producers who seemed to have written me off after my last three action films flopped. Now, riding in the back of a town car with Hollywood’s darling and preparing to pretend we wer...

The engagement is fake, but the feelings are real. TRACE: My twin sister found love using the dating site everyone in San Diego is talking about — Mr. Match. And now that she’s happily coupled, she thinks I should look for my match. The thing is? I’m pretty sure I don’t have one. I’ve got soccer. And maybe that’s all I need–it’s definitely the only thing I’ve ever really been able to depend on, besides my sister. I signed up. But what I got was not what I expected. I did not expect to feel so much for a woman I’d only just met. And I definitely didn’t expect to find myself agreeing to pretend to be her fiancé. The thing is, even though I’ve only known her a short tim...
