Description:

Conor:It starts with a drunken text pic. The kind I would normally never send. Only, instead of it going to the flirty hotel bartender, it goes to some random stranger who actually responds.

I tell myself an unexpected night of hot as hell back-and-forth is the perfect way to blow off a little steam while I’m in New York closing an important business deal. Little do I know the man on the other end of the line is none other than Wells Grange: the most controlling, egotistical, emotionless SOB I’ve ever met.

I spend my days squaring off against Wells in the boardroom, and my nights succumbing to the sexy stranger’s commanding texts in the bedroom. Within days, I’m falling for someone I shouldn’t, and I have to remind myself that none of this is real.

Wells:The first thing I notice about Conor Newell when he sits down in my high-rise conference room is how delightfully nervous he is. Then I see his tie. The same geeky tie that’s held hostage on my phone. The one that belongs to my anonymous late-night texter. And it changes everything.

I should confess. Tell the truth about who I am. Instead, I decide there’s no harm in flirting. After all, once our business is concluded, he’ll be out of my life for good.

The more I get to know Conor, however, the more I start to fall for him. Which is a problem, because I made a vow long ago to never let emotions interfere with my life, either business or personal. Except I can’t stop thinking about him night and day. If it’s only in my head, though, it doesn’t count.

After all, it’s not like we’re falling for each other in real life...

The

New York Times

–bestselling author’s Whitbread Prize–winning debut—“Winterson has mastered both comedy and tragedy in this rich little novel” (

The Washington Post Book World

).

  When it first appeared, Jeanette Winterson’s extraordinary debut novel received unanimous international praise, including the prestigious Whitbread Prize for best first fiction. Winterson went on to fulfill that promise, producing some of the most dazzling fiction and nonfiction of the past decade, including her celebrated memoir

Why Be Happy When You Can Be Normal?

. Now required reading in contemporary literature,

Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit

is a funny, poignant exploration of a young girl’s adolescence.   Jeanette is a bright and rebellious orphan who is adopted into an evangelical household in the dour, industrial North of England and finds herself embroidering grim religious mottoes and shaking her little tambourine for Jesus. But as this budding missionary comes of age, and comes to terms with her unorthodox sexuality, the peculiar balance of her God-fearing household dissolves. Jeanette’s insistence on listening to truths of her own heart and mind—and on reporting them with wit and passion—makes for an unforgettable chronicle of an eccentric, moving passage into adulthood.   “If Flannery O’Connor and Rita Mae Brown had collaborated on the coming-out story of a young British girl in the 1960s, maybe they would have approached the quirky and subtle hilarity of Jeanette Winterson’s autobiographical first novel. . . . Winterson’s voice, with its idiosyncratic wit and sensitivity, is one you’ve never heard before.” —

Until… the newbie came — mysterious and obscenely attractive.Axel didn’t know jack about construction. It infuriated Dima to no end since it fell on his shoulders to teach the kid the basics. Having learned from the foreman that the new guy was from Corporate, Dima couldn’t help but wonder about Axel’s real motive for working under his wing.From the very first day, Dima had tried his hardest to keep a professional distance and not fall for his subordinate. Still, something about Axel’s clumsiness was mighty attractive, and Dima was only human.Will you say yes if I ask you out, Axel? No, no, keep your cool, Alexeev. You don’t even know his full name.If only Dima knew that in the near future, he’d find himself standing on his knees before Axel, his shaking fingers sliding the man’s zipper down…—Sure, Dr. Axel Abawi came to construction under false pretenses. It was his skyscraper, after all.In his desperate attempt to relieve the unbearable grief after his father had passed, Axel found comfort in the form of a stern look on a handsome face, thick arms that could crush him to dust in mere seconds, and bulging chest that nearly tore through the tight uniform t-shirt. Axel fell hard and fast. But Dima was obviously straight. Besides, telling the man about Axel’s position at Corporate was a no-go.So, Axel smothered his growing attraction to his supervisor and resolved to admire him from afar. Until he couldn’t anymore.—High Rise is the first M/M novel in the series by the same name. The first book follows the blossoming romantic relationship between Dima and Axel.
