LOVE IN THE BALANCE
Connie likes men. Sure, she's just dumped one, but she'll find another one soon enough. Instead she finds Kasey. Who happens to be a woman—a lesbian, actually. Connie reckons they'll be good friends, and she soon realizes she wants more.
But Kasey has already had her heart broken. Her ex-girlfriend turned out to like men. Kasey won't take a chance on that happening again. And her friends won't let her, either. Especially not Sharon.
If this is love, Connie has a lot of convincing to do and a lot of people to win over. Just when it seems like maybe she has, real life comes sneaking up again. Some people hate lesbians—hate them enough to kill. And it's not obvious that the authorities care. Connie and Kasey and Sharon must each put their doubts to the side and work together to get justice.

LEGACY OF LOVE
Sage Bristo moved with confidence and determination. It drew people to her. Especially women. Sage enjoyed their attention but none could see beyond her toned body and cool demeanor to the small-town girl underneath. Then she met Deanne Demore and for the first time Sage feared the power of another woman.

NEVER ENDING
Sage Bristo is a woman of conviction. Four years into her relationship with Deanne, Sage faces the limits of love, trust, understanding, and commitment, and the emotions run strong. As always, Martin keeps us hooked until the very last page.

MIRRORS
They both have dedication. Passion. Commitment. No wonder Jean and Shayna are best friends. Jean Carson is a teacher, striving to make a difference to her students. Shayna Bradley is an attorney, determined to help lesbian mothers keep their kids.
Shayna has her life under control, has things just how she likes it: her own law practice and a girlfriend and, always, her best friend Jean.
For Jean, it’s different. There’s always Shayna. There are her students toobut there’s also a husband, and he’s anxious for kids. She’s made excuses, but she knows it isn’t fair. She’s short-changing him, and she’s short-changing herself.
She must find the strength to leave. And then she must find the courage to face facts: Shayna is more than a friend.
It’s a new reality, and one that catches both women unawares. And when the school board learns of Jean’s “situation,” suddenly Jean and Shayna face greater risks to their happinessand their dreamsthan they ever anticipated.
Dedication. Passion. Commitment. They may not be enough.
