Twelfth Moon

Elsie's a small town with a lot of heart. Isn't that how most small town romance stories begin? But this isn't any love story. These five stories cross paths and connections, age, gender, sexuality, and different kinds of relationships. Stories like that of Harriet, the owner of Twelfth Moon perfumery and adopted mother to her nephew, Nu. Harriet always figured she'd be single for the rest of her life, but Dela Atwater appearing in her shop one blustery autumn day sparks something within her. A bit of romance and longing she'd long thought buried. And what about Nu, Harriet's nephew? He's quickly falling for Miles, who works in the coffee shop next door to Twelfth Moon. The shop is owned by Miles's brother, Jones, who has his own ideas about sex and lust and romance (or lack thereof). Across town, Maeve is learning how to exist as a widower but when they meet Evie, a spark is lit. And Yuri, Nu's best friend, is anxiously awaiting the holidays so he can see his girlfriend, Beckett, once more. It's about hope and joy and queer love in so many shapes and forms, from the author of the dark fantasy/romance novel Wilderwood ("...will shatter readers' expectations with its bewitching complexities..." - The BookLife Prize).
