Summary
Ed’s seen plenty of folks run a marathon.
He’s also seen plenty of folks walk a marathon.
But he’s never seen anyone race walk a marathon. Until now.
Ed notices the cadence before anything else. It’s all hips. Hips swiveling and dipping like those of a supermodel, if that model were crossing a football field at the same pace the others made it down the catwalk. Arms pumping double time but no bounce in the shoulders–eerily smooth from the chest up. And while on the topic of chest…this might be the broadest chest Ed’s ever seen on an endurance athlete. A luminous pink shirt hugs his biceps, the swell of his tits, the small peaks of his–Jesus. With the rain and the chill, someone’s gonna get an eye poked out.
Ed hopes it’s him.
He doesn’t need both of his eyes.
or:
This blond guy race walking a marathon is the sexiest person Ed Teach has ever seen. And Ed's...fascinated.

Summary
Things are actually pretty quiet today, which would normally be a blessing, but in this particular instance it’s giving him far more opportunities to casually drift past the blond’s room and check on the situation. Just out of professional curiosity, of course.
However, that means that he’s actually in earshot to hear the cop say, with all the smug gloating of a villain in an action movie, “...thought you were so clever, didn’t you, Bonnet? Thought you were one step ahead of us. And now here you are, with nowhere to go. Real pain in the ass, isn’t it?”

Summary
Ed's been pining after his best friend Stede for all their years working together as photographer and journalist for a nature magazine. After failing again to tell Stede his feelings, he's retreated to his annual vacation spot at Chilika Lake in India, home to the world-famous Nalabana Bird Sanctuary.
Imagine his surprise when Stede himself arrives at the same resort, by total coincidence. Now the universe, Ed's local friends, and nature herself seem to be conspiring to push them together. All it's going to take is a little time, a little truth, a lot of bravery... and a flamingo or two.

Will they emerge from this journey as reluctant friends?

Summary
Adopting a secret cat in a no-pets-allowed apartment building is one thing. Kissing the new property manager after he discovers your secret cat is another.
Learning the property manager thought he was straight until you kissed him and accidentally sent him into a tailspin—well, it's a weird twenty-four hours for Ed Teach.
So: friends. Friends, he can do. Friends, that's easy. Except there are mochas, and there are movies, and there's this whole queer discovery he's helping Stede navigate, and there are a hell of a lot of chocolate muffins.
Sometimes the journey is the most important part.
