At an early age, Jess Jenkins learned to take care
of his family and friends and put their needs before his own. He dreamed of
finding the same simple happiness his parents had and followed their example.
Then Lorcan James broke his heart and an automobile accident broke his
independent spirit. Now that’s all Jess is: a broken shadow of the man he used
to be, still confined to a wheelchair after six months.
Jess is finally forced to put himself first and
accept the help he needs on his journey toward recovery. Though pain,
frustration, and depression leave him bitter and eager to push people away, his
friends refuse to allow him to wallow in self-pity. Jack has only glimpsed the
man beneath Jess’s angry shell, but he takes it upon himself to prove Jess
isn’t broken. And Collin is determined to bring back the sweet man he once
knew. The simple, happy life Jess has always wanted is there for the taking—all
he has to do is open his eyes and see it.
Aaron by JP Barnaby
Length: Novel | Genre: Contemporary
I can’t describe what it’s like
to want to scream every minute of every day.
Two years after a terrifying night of pain
destroyed his normal teenage existence, Aaron Downing still clings to the hope
that one day, he will be a fully functional human being. But his life remains a
constant string of nightmares, flashbacks, and fear. When, in his very first
semester of college, he’s assigned Spencer Thomas as a partner for his programming
project, Aaron decides that maybe “normal” is overrated. If he could just learn
to control his fear, that could be enough for him to find his footing again.
With his parents’ talk of institutionalizing him—of
sacrificing him for the sake of his brothers’ stability—Aaron becomes desperate
to find a way to cope with his psychological damage or even fake normalcy. Can
his new shrink control his own demons long enough to treat Aaron, or will he
only deepen the damage?
Desperate to understand his attraction for Spencer,
Aaron holds on to his sanity with both hands as it threatens to spin out of
control.

just fine until he met Tristan Moreau. Within months, Tristan stole his heart
and became his lifeline. But Webber knows the rules of the workplace better

professionalism starts to backslide. It’s a seemingly impossible relationship,
making a go at it under the paparazzi’s microscope. It may be the best—or the
worst—business decision they ever made.
