Some people spend their whole lives looking for the right partner. Nate Schaper found his at high school. In the eight months since their cautious flirting became a real heart-pounding relationship, Nate and Adam have been inseparable. Even when local kids take their homophobia to brutal levels, Nate is undaunted. But when Adam graduates and takes an off-Broadway job in New York, that certainty begins to flicker. Don't Let Me Go captures the giddiness of first love, whilst also presenting a timely discourse about bullying, bigotry and hate that is rife in schools today.

Robert Westfall's life is falling apart - everywhere but in his maths class. That's one place where problems always have a solution.

And as hard as he tries to resist, Andrew knows that he and Robert are edging into territory that holds incalculable risks.

17-year-old Luke Chesser is trying to forget his spectacular failure of a love life. He practises marching band moves for hours in the hot Texas sun, deals with his disapproving father and slyly checks out the new band field tech, Curtis Cameron. Before long, Luke is falling harder than he knew he could. And this time he intends to play it right. Since testing positive for HIV, Curtis has careered between numbness and fear. And Luke - more tempting than he realises - won't take a hint. J.H. Trumble renders a modern love story as sweet, sharp and messy as the real thing.
