Cora Delaney brings a lasagna to a stranger's door—a widower her incubus visited on a summons weeks ago, and never mentioned. Peter buried his wife forty-one years into a marriage that started as an argument about a hedge, and he has something to teach a woman six weeks into loving a nine-hundred-year-old man who will never age: the arithmetic of forever-with-an-ending never works, and you do it anyway. A quiet story about mortality, the deal everyone takes, and choosing it on purpose.
When Josh's brother dies, an ancient law binds him to marry the young widow he barely knows — Rebekah, sheltered, silent, and utterly alone. Neither wants this marriage. But duty becomes devotion, and devotion becomes a love neither believed they deserved. From a courtroom vow to a hospital bed to a nursery, His Brother's Wife is a story of obligation transformed into grace — proof that God gives us far more than we deserve
Miles doesn't love Gil. He just uses him. For eight months, his gay best friend has knelt and swallowed and thanked him for the privilege—all while Miles watches straight porn without bothering to shower first. But when Gil offers to become his maid too, scrubbing toilets for free, their arrangement tilts into something neither expected. Told in two razor-sharp voices, SWALLOW is a darkly funny, unflinching look at power, devotion, and the unsettling comfort of knowing exactly where you belong.
