ICARUS by K Ancrum

Critically acclaimed author K Ancrum breathes life into the meet-cute of your fantasies with Greek mythology symbolism. This suspense-romance is built around an art thief named Icarus, and Helios, the son of the wealthy artist he is stealing from. What will he choose—love, or the great escape? Flip a coin till we get there.

DEVIANTS by Santanu Bhattacharya

The book follows the life of three gay men—Sukumar, Mambro, and Vivaan—from different generations of the same family. The author explores gender identity and love under the law during the 70s, 90s, and 2000s while being brutally honest about heartbreaking dissent, the combat of coming out—what it means and if it can cost you everything.
