Sometimes you must fall before you can fly free.<br />
<br />
Despite having had a rough life, Seth has a big heart. After spending nearly ten years sleeping rough on the streets of New York, he’s managed to get himself freelance work and a place to live. But his new-found security is about to be torn apart, as the horrors of his past come back to haunt him in the worst possible way.<br />
<br />
Dante was sent to watch over a young Seth when his mother died. As an angel, he had many rules to follow. The most important of which was to never fall in love—especially when it involves a human who is your charge. For the last ten years, Dante has kept his feelings for Seth hidden. That is until the night Seth’s past catches up with him.<br />
<br />
When Seth is murdered, their destinies are changed forever. Feelings and emotions come to the surface, but will the rules that govern the afterlife keep Dante and Seth apart for eternity, or will they be able to find their happily ever after together?<br />

<b><i><span style="font-size: large;">Excerpt</span></i></b></div>
<br />
Seth kept the last cup of coffee, now barely lukewarm, for the man who always sat alone, distant from the rest. There was something about him that mesmerized Seth in a way he couldn’t describe. It was probably the man’s eyes, which were a vivid shade of blue that pierced even the darkest night. He sat on the same bench every night, huddled in a tatty black trench coat.<br />
<br />
“Seth.” Blue Eyes nodded his thanks as he wrapped his hands around the cup Seth handed to him.<br />
<br />
“It’s not very warm, I’m afraid.”<br />
<br />
Blue Eyes shrugged, never taking his gaze off Seth as he sipped the coffee. His dark hair fell to his shoulders in waves, framing his handsome face. His olive skin tone made him appear healthier than the rest, although Seth was reasonably sure that was deceptive. A short beard and mustache helped further define his broad chin and sculpted cheekbones. Seth thought to ask his name, but couldn’t convince the question to leave his lips.<br />
<br />
He was always like that around Blue Eyes: tongue-tied and awkward. The man was incredibly gorgeous, and Seth couldn’t help but be physically attracted to him. Maybe in another lifetime, under very different circumstances, he would have the confidence to ask Blue Eyes more about himself; discover the mysteries sparkling in the depths of his eyes. But things were what they were and showing interest in the man was wholly inappropriate. So, instead of asking Blue Eyes his name, he uttered a goodbye and turned to go.<br />

<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
New job, new city: Mason hopes both will lead to him escaping burnout as a ballet dancer. Not living out of a suitcase anymore is a bonus. His new life gets off to a steamy start when he encounters his new neighbour, David. Things soon become complicated when Mason turns up for his first day at BalletEast, to discover that David is not only his choreographer but the man who inspired him to take up dancing in the first place.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<span inherit=""><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<span inherit="">With two divorces and a string of failed relationships behind him, David has no intention of promising ‘forever’ to anyone. But when he meets Mason, he falls hard and fast for the enigmatic young dancer. As David becomes more serious about Mason, he wants to open his lover’s eyes to the kinks that he enjoys.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="display: inline; margin-top: 6px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Whilst the two men are navigating the early stages of their romance, Mason is facing immense pressures in the rehearsal studios that threaten to dampen his natural enthusiasm for life. Will David’s love and support be enough to help Mason continue to hold his head high and dance like he’s never danced before?</span><br />

An evening of flirting, in the shadow of Lancaster castle, eventually led to a fairy tale wedding. She’s enjoying her own ‘happy ever after’ in the north of England with her husband, two beautiful children and her writing.

Adam and Luc used to be close. At least they were before Luc distanced himself from Adam at fourteen, then eventually left home. Adam never got over the sting of betrayal, or the loss of his one-time best friend.</div>
<br />
When Luc is invited back home to help get his parents’ failing dance school back on track, Adam isn’t sure he can cope with having his stepbrother back in his life. Especially when he discovers Luc’s decade old secret.<br />
<br />
Luc left home because he was sure no one would understand that he had fallen in love with his stepbrother.<br />
<br />
Convinced that the years of distance he has put between them will have erased his desire, Luc doesn’t hesitate to return home to help the business that means everything to his parents. Confronted by Adam once more, Luc’s past feelings re-awaken. But will revealing his true feelings to Adam heal the rift between them, or drive them even further apart?<br />

Colette’s personal love story began at university, where she met her future husband. An evening of flirting, in the shadow of Lancaster castle, eventually led to a fairy tale wedding. She’s enjoying her own ‘happy ever after’ in the north of England with her husband, two beautiful children and her writing.

<br />
Careful what you wish for…<br />
<br />
Close to landing a role in a sitcom he hopes will show his father he isn’t a failure, Vane Riley loses everything when his boyfriend dumps him and his father dies. With nowhere to turn, he heads home to regroup and help his sister, Rose, keep the family diner afloat. Trying to ease his grief with a guy in a bar seems like a good idea until the guy can’t get rid of him fast enough. The last thing Vane expects is for his one-night stand to appear at his dad’s funeral with a quirky tarot reader on his arm and a romantic history with Rose.<br />
<br />
Doug Moore is a widower who isn’t ready to move on, but he can’t seem to get the clumsy guy he met the night before out of his thoughts. After helping Vane get back into the car he somehow locked himself out of, Doug figured he’d never see him again and can’t believe his lousy luck when Rose’s loser brother turns out to be the hookup he can’t stop thinking about. Doug is determined to keep his distance, but when Rose hires him to renovate the family home Vane is now living in, there’s not much chance of that happening.<br />
<br />
Though Doug wants nothing more than to resist him, Vane ticks all his boxes. Clumsy, needy, sexy and… Oh yeah. Paranoid. Not for a minute does Doug believe somebody is out to hurt Vane despite the strange accidents that have befallen him since returning home, but Vane is sure somebody wants him dead.<br />
<br />
Doug is solid and steady. Vane is emotional and imaginative. Nobody’s trying to kill him. Doug is sure of it…<br />
<br />
At first.<br />

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: white; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The interior was dark, lit mostly by the glow of the TV.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: white; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.44; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 23.75pt;">

The dreariness of the place hit him out of the blue, and he had a feeling he was just punishing himself by staying. There were other places he could be, even sitting in a movie theater with Dorcas if he’d thought about it. But that ball of energy in his chest had brought him here. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: white; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></div>

After he righted himself, the guy fixed what had to be a glare at the raised section of weather stripping across the threshold.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: white; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></div>

Doug couldn’t see the guy’s face in the shadows, but he heard the owner say, “Yeah?” in a surprised tone and a few words in return. “Real quick… couple miles.”</span><br />
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: white; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></div>

A useful reply would need more than the “You gonna buy somethin’?” he came up with.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: white; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></div>

Maybe the owner made the guy nervous because the money he dug out of his pocket flew everywhere but on the counter.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: white; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></div>

Doug grinned as the guy chased the rolling coins, picked up a couple, turned around, and bent over again.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: white; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></div>

The owner shook his head. Doug sighed, guessing the guy didn’t have enough money and the owner wouldn’t cut him any slack. </span><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 12pt; font-style: italic; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">What an asshole.</span><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> Doug wasn’t coming to this place anymore. It had always been sketchy, but now it was a dreary, low-class dump.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: white; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: white; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></div>

He startled. “Jesus, are you okay?”</span><br />
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: white; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: white; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></div>

The poor light hid a lot, but he thought the guy blushed. And then he… giggled. A real-live giggle. Doug couldn’t help but laugh. Of all the weird things. Though from the twitches running through the guy, his giggle was clearly a result of his nerves. Doug liked that. Meg had been shy too.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: white; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></div>

Doug lifted the beer the bartender set down and motioned with his chin at the other one. The guy picked it up, nodded, and took a swallow. His sigh sounded happy.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: white; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></div>

The guy was beautiful and charming and familiar, but Doug drew a blank trying to figure out where he’d seen him before. “Are you from around here?”</span><br />

My car broke down. Well, not actually broke down. I got out and dropped my keys.” He gave a blustery-sounding laugh. “Now I’m locked out.”</span><br />

He shifted on his stool as his lust bloomed, a sensation he’d almost forgotten about. He hooked up with willing partners to expend some energy, but to be honest, attraction wasn’t usually a big part of it.</span></span><br />

He tucked it behind his ears, then pushed up the sleeves of his hoodie. He had holes in his lobes but no earrings, and a tattoo of a sun done in black ink decorated the inside of a wrist.</span><br />

When it came down to it though, he probably couldn’t pick a serial killer out of a crowd to save his life. But this guy looked friendly, a little nervous, and a lot needy.</span></span><br />

Ethan’s mouth opened again, a slight part, the pink of his tongue a glimmer inside. “Nice to meet you, Doug.”</span><br />

He wanted to plant himself inside him. Ethan’s eyes widened as Doug stared at him, his pupils stretching to the edges of his irises. He flicked his lip with his tongue, picked up his beer, and chugged it.</span><br />

<b><i>The Reunion</i></b><br />
<br />
Gil Davis hated high school. Ever the geek, he has no intentions of attending his 10th year class reunion. The last thing he wants is to relive the taunting and teasing he received during his teenage years. However, there is one thing he misses from high school: the star Varsity football player. The one he had a crush on from the first day he laid eyes on him. But the last thing he expects is the now pro football player to come back to their hometown to attend a lame high school reunion. Known as the Bad Boy of the NFL, Ripley “Rip” Cord, not only shows up, but shows up without a date and an eye for Gil.<br />
<br />
<i><b>The Weekend</b></i><br />
<br />
Geek Gil Davis hasn’t heard a word from NFL player, Rip Cord, since hooking up at their class reunion. Then Rip calls him unexpectedly, he’s taking Gil to his cabin for a weekend of erotic exploration.<br />
<br />
<b><i>The Ever After</i></b><br />
<br />
When Rip Cordis kicked out of the NFL, he shows up unexpectedly at Gil Davis’ front door. With his career over, Rip’s finally ready for a future with Gil, if Gil’s willing to give him another chance.<br />

<b><i><span style="font-size: large;">Excerpt</span></i></b></div>
<br />
Ripley “Rip” Cord was just as tall as Gil remembered. Around five inches taller than him, not that Gil was a squirt. The football player was at least six foot two.<br />
<br />
And every inch of him was muscle. Not lean muscle, but heavy muscle. Heavy, rounded, lickable muscle.<br />
<br />
Gil glanced at Katie. “You’re drooling.”<br />
<br />
Katie wiped her mouth with the back of her hand. “As if you aren’t.”<br />
<br />
Gil snagged her wrist and backpedaled until he rammed into something hard. It was the table with the place settings.<br />
<br />
Gil peered over Katie’s shoulder to see if his klutziness had caught Rip’s attention.<br />
<br />
Luckily it hadn’t. The man was completely surrounded by their old classmates clamoring for his attention.<br />
<br />
Throughout the years, he’d followed Rip’s career in the newspapers, on the evening news, on ESPN.<br />
<br />
And in the tabloids.<br />
<br />
Rip was well-known. Unfortunately it was as the “bad boy” of the National Football League. He started out with a great career in the NFL, drafted straight out of college. He was one of the best wide receivers in the league, but it was all his rumored problems that kept him in the spotlight, not his stats.<br />
<br />
And that famous wide receiver was here. Now.<br />
<br />
“C’mon, Katie! Don’t stare.”<br />
<br />
“Why?”<br />
<br />
“Because—”<br />
<br />
“Jesus, Gilly, because you have a crush on him!”<br />
<br />
Heat crawled up Gil’s neck. He was glad the lights were turned down in the gymnasium. He didn’t want anyone seeing him blush.<br />
<br />
Hell, he was twenty-eight years old. He shouldn’t be blushing. He felt seventeen all over again.<br />
<br />
He pulled away from Katie to study the name cards remaining on the table. Of course, he read the same card over and over before Katie squealed.<br />
<br />
“Oh. My. God.Here he comes!”<br />
<br />
Gil nervously tugged Katie next to his side and threw an arm haphazardly around her shoulders.<br />
<br />
“Ouch,” she yelped as her curly red hair got caught on the button of his cuff.<br />
<br />
“Sorry,” he whispered and straightened up just as Rip arrived at the table.<br />
<br />
Gil swore he saw spots. He was not going to faint. He was not going to faint.<br />
<br />
His knees buckled, and he grabbed for the nearest solid thing: Rip.<br />
<br />
Rip grasped his forearm and held Gil steady. “You all right, buddy?”<br />
<br />
Gil looked up—and up—into deep blue eyes. Eyes he had never forgotten. To this day they haunted his dreams.<br />
<br />
Dreams he usually woke up from with a raging hard-on.<br />
<br />
Gil opened his mouth to answer, but nothing came out. Rip smacked him hard on the back.<br />
<br />
“Are you sure you’re okay?”<br />
<br />
Gil nodded.<br />
<br />
“Did you find your name card yet?” Rip asked, flashing him a bright, white smile.<br />
<br />
Gil shook his head.<br />
<br />
Rip moved closer, almost hip to hip with Gil, to study the table of white folded cardstock. Gil fought the urge to lean in and nuzzle the larger man's neck, inhaling his manly scent. Roll around in it like a dog.<br />
<br />
Hell, he'd probably end up sporting a black eye if he tried.<br />
<br />

<br />
Prince Kitsune trained all his life to become a leader in the king’s wars for supremacy, but the fearsome monarch dashes those dreams and banishes his devoted son. Not all is lost—to reclaim his birthright, Kitsune must kill the son of his father's rival. A son possessed by fiery magic.<br />
<br />
Outside of the capital walls for the first time, Kitsune struggles to survive accursed wilderness and political intrigue while executing his mission. He meets the enigmatic, dark-haired Myobu and discovers magical Yokai spirits, dark family secrets, and strange new feelings for his companion.<br />
<br />
As the two men forge a path through the region, an unrealized and dangerous magic blossoms within Kitsune. It is the mysterious power of the Yokai spirits, capable of unspeakable destruction, and it grows stronger with each passing day. Could he use this gift to slay his target, or would it destroy all that he loves?<br />

<b><span style="font-size: large;"><i>Excerpt</i></span></b></div>
<br />
Inari Palace had been the center of the Kitsunetsuki Kingdom for well over nine centuries. If its people had always regarded it to represent a place to fear, Prince Kitsune could not tell. What he did know for certain was that his father, King Oni, was a powerful man who deserved the fear and respect given unto him.<br />
<br />
Kitsune shared in the people’s reverence of King Oni of the Asher lineage. It was said that Oni’s father had fallen in love with and married one of the beautiful Yokai spirits that purportedly inhabited the land around Inari Palace. While Kitsune was doubtful that such spirits existed, he knew the mythology of his people’s religious beliefs. The offspring of such a pairing tended to manifest heightened intelligence and magical abilities that increased in complexity with age. The motives of such individuals were a mystery, and their agendas were unlike those of ordinary people. This allegedly stemmed from a lack of human morals.<br />
<br />
No one had ever witnessed King Oni displaying acts of magic, but his wisdom and cleverness were renowned beyond the borders of Kitsunetsuki, as were his skills in war and battle. With his combined talents, two successful military campaigns had already been waged under his reign, resulting in the conquering of the Mogo Empire to the south and the Ruio Territory to the northeast. A third campaign was rumored to be launched within the next sun cycle. It was Kitsune’s greatest desire to fight alongside his father this time around.<br />
<br />
Whether it was from the constant state of warfare or the demands of ruling the vast and expanding domain, King Oni was a man rarely seen by even his closest advisors. As a child, Kitsune looked forward to his birthdays not for the presents, but rather because they were the rare days his father would most certainly present himself—assuming he was not leading the military elsewhere. As he matured, Kitsune saw the king less and less often. Now he only knew his father existed from the messages, requests, and gifts sent via servants.<br />
<br />
Such remoteness did not temper Kitsune’s admiration of his father. It only solidified his notion that the numerous obligations of running the kingdom could only be handled by a man as judicious and dutiful as the king. Understanding that such responsibilities demanded considerable time, Kitsune willingly accepted his position in his father’s life. Though they both resided within the palace, it had been well over a sun cycle since they’d seen each other face to face.<br />
<br />
This was why it came as such a surprise when Kitsune was awoken late one morning by a servant knocking on his chamber doors with a simple message: King Oni demands your presence immediately.<br />

A lot of words had been put to paper since then, including tales about dinosaurs, space travels, and the afterlife. The King's Sun, the first part of The Brass Machine, is his first published work.<br />

<br />
As a farmer Lee Johnson is well-situated to survive in the aftermath of a plague that killed most of humanity. As a gay man in a small community he's resigned himself to the probability of lifelong bachelorhood, at least until his sister returns home with handsome Army veteran Nate Schlessinger. <br />
<br />
Sparks fly between the two men but nothing is easy following the collapse of civilization. Nate claims to be celibate despite his clear interest, Lee tries to keep his neighbors from starving, and the threat of attack looms constantly. Can love triumph in the ruins of the world as we knew it?<br />

<b><span style="font-size: large;"><i>Excerpt</i></span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
Nate looks skeptically at the carrots he pulled up. “Are these carrots supposed to be yellow?”<br />
<br />
“Yes. You’ve never seen yellow carrots? They’re the best.”<br />
<br />
“How many colors do carrots come in?”<br />
<br />
“We grow yellow, orange, and purple, but there are red and white too. White carrots don’t have much flavor so I don’t see the point.”<br />
<br />
It’s a nice morning for harvesting. Nate and I are working on carrots while Lily is one field over gathering onions. Every couple of minutes the wind carries over a few words of whatever song she’s singing to herself. The dogs are amusing themselves playing tug of war with a piece of rope I knotted for that purpose. <br />
<br />
My shoulders are a bit stiff from helping Stan move yesterday, therefore I’m not harvesting carrots quite as quickly as I could. The fact that Nate is new to pulling carrots is a convenient excuse to slow down. It’s not a difficult concept to yank carrots out of the soil and Nate’s doing a fine job, though he’s the first person I’ve ever seen harvest carrots with a handgun holstered on. <br />
<br />
“Yellow and purple carrots. Orange tomatoes. What next,” he asks, “red pumpkins?”<br />
<br />
The orange tomatoes were an heirloom variety Mom decided to try this year which are worth growing again. I’ve saved a good amount of seeds, plenty for us and the neighbors. Genetic diversity in crops will serve us well. <br />
<br />
“The pumpkins are all orange.” <br />
<br />
“Good. I like some consistency in my life.”<br />
<br />
“Getting up every morning to take care of the animals isn’t consistent enough for you?” Livestock guarantees a certain level of routine in our lives.<br />
<br />
“I like plenty of consistency.”<br />
<br />
“Farming is good for that.” I make sure I’m quiet for my next question, something that’s been nagging me. “Do you think we have a good chance of defending ourselves?”<br />
<br />
“It depends on a lot of factors. We have the advantage over a small, maybe mid-sized gang unless they have really impressive weapons, but we can’t hold off an army. Fortunately, I think small gangs are more likely at this point.”<br />
<br />
“Have I mentioned that my dad kept his great-great grandfather’s Civil War sword? It’s in the chest in the living room.”<br />
<br />
“Let’s hold that as a last resort, okay?”<br />
<br />
“Works for me. Damned if I know how to use the thing.”<br />
<br />
“Now, a Civil War cannon might have more potential.”<br />
<br />
“I think we’re stuck with the bows.”<br />
<br />
“On the plus side those don’t run the risk of blowing up in our faces.”<br />
<br />
“That’s a very big plus,” I say. Nate has his first homemade bow complete now, though it doesn’t shoot very far. <br />
<br />
“Our biggest advantage, I think, is that I can probably shoot people as they approach. The military helmets will help a lot there.” He ignores the carrots in favor of looking at me, all weighty responsibility. “I’m going to do everything I can to protect us, to protect you and Lily.”<br />
<br />
I demonstrate my appreciation with a kiss. “Thank you. Just remember you’re not doing it single-handedly, okay?”<br />
<br />
“You’re a decent shot. That will help.”<br />
<br />
He’s being generous. I’m a decent shot at close range with a slow-moving target, and my abilities degrade from there. Like I said, I went bird hunting with my dad sometimes, but it was never my favorite and that shows in my skill level. <br />
<br />
“Lily can shoot too,” he says. “Even if she’s not a great shot it will create more chaos and give them more bullets to dodge.” Guns aren’t her favorite, but there’s no doubt she’ll do whatever is necessary. “I think we’ll be alright, barring some property damage.”<br />
<br />
“I hope we’re alright. And that any property damage is minor.”<br />
<br />
“I’m not going down without a fight,” he says, which I already knew. Nate’s just like that. “I’m happier than I thought I could be after Severny destroyed everything. Not that it isn’t hard, and I don’t miss people all the time, but somewhere along the way I realized I need to let myself be happy, you know?”<br />
<br />
“Yes.” I really, really do. It’s easy to fall into survivor’s guilt until you realize that nobody who died would want us to spend the rest of our lives miserable. That doesn’t mean I don’t have my bouts of survivor’s guilt all the same. It does make it easier to move forward and feel okay about it when I smile and laugh. <br />
<br />
“You’re a big part of my happiness. You do know that, right?”<br />
<br />
“I know.” I kiss him again. “And I feel the same way. You’re awesome like that.”<br />
<br />
“Keep throwing around adjectives like awesome and I’m gonna get a big head.”<br />
<br />
“Which head are we talking about?” I ask with an unsubtle glance at his crotch.<br />
<br />
“I was talking about the one on my neck.”<br />
<br />
“Past tense. I can work with that. Let’s hurry up and get these carrots harvested so we can go inside, where I can admire your other head.”<br />
<br />
“If I didn’t know better I’d say you only want me for my body.”<br />
<br />
“Since you do know better there’s nothing wrong with heartfelt appreciation.”<br />
<br />
Nate raises his eyebrows. “Sure, pretend your heart is in charge at the moment.”<br />
<br />
“You say that as though it’s a bad thing, but you’re picking carrots faster.”<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
Some kids have imaginary friends. Jessie grew up in rural Maine where she needed to entertain herself, so she created an imaginary village and she has been dreaming up stories ever since. These days she writes romances which reflect her love of hot guys and a good happy ending. <br />
<br />
Married to her own Mr. Right, Jessie gratefully acknowledges his support and encouragement.

<br />
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">Storms pass and, in their wake, new beginnings can be found.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">Talented young artist Jonty Trelawn paints the sea as self-inflicted punishment. For almost a year he has hidden away from life, survivor’s guilt consuming him, but the time has come to move on. He conceives the idea of a charity art auction in support of the local lifeboat station and the men and women who saved his life. He hopes the tribute to his family will release him from the sea’s invisible chains.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">Carpenter Jed Curnow is bound to the water in a different way. As deputy coxswain of the Govenek, the local lifeboat, his world revolves around the close-knit crew. He thinks nothing of risking his life to save others. Saving Jonty is less dangerous but just as important to him. He wants nothing more than to give Jonty the love and security he needs.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">Jed’s dominant personality calls to Jonty’s more submissive nature but will he ever allow himself to be happy? It’s up to Jed and his best friend Marmite to help Jonty put his tragic past behind him and live for the future.</span></span><br />

<b><i><span style="font-size: large;">Excerpt</span></i></b></div>
<br />
Jonty stood on the swaying deck and took a last, longing glance at the shore. His stomach was already heaving and the Caroline, named after his mother, had only just left the shelter of the bay. The next three days at sea were going to be torment. He hated the annual family ritual that took him away from his painting, but his father insisted on it and, at twenty-five, Jonty still hadn’t found the courage to refuse him. Rex Trelawn, who headed a private bank when he wasn’t torturing his son, had given up on Jonty ever being a ‘proper’ sailor, so Jonty was consigned to the galley with orders to keep the rest of the family fed and watered. He dealt with supplies, stocked the cupboards and made sure the boat was ready for a short sea voyage. He was also responsible for reporting their position to the coastguard at regular intervals, which he managed between visits to the head where his stomach contents insisted on making unwelcome reappearances.<br />
<br />
The Caroline was a forty-six footer and manageable with a crew of four. She was just big enough that Jonty could avoid his father for some, if not all, of the trip. Rex always took the wheel while Jonty’s mother and younger sister, Evie, managed ropes and sails with ease. Evie had a sturdy build and relished the challenges of sailing while Jonty favored his recently deceased grandfather, being slight and less than average height. They were a small family, just the four of them, and Jonty found it impossible to refuse the one outing of the year that brought them all together, much as he wanted to. Three days battling his father’s disappointment was not his idea of a fun time.<br />
<br />
Jonty slipped below deck to the narrow, claustrophobic galley and began preparations for a light supper. Soup and bread, fruitcake and hot chocolate would suffice—not that he’d be able to eat any of it himself. Just the idea of food made his stomach flip over. The four of them would take breaks and sleep in shifts, sailing out past Land’s End and into the Atlantic during the night. It would be something of an endurance test but Jonty could cope with that. He kept strange hours when he painted, sometimes forgetting to sleep.<br />
<br />
His father was first to descend into the cabin, brushing a hand through his windswept silver hair. He shed his waterproofs, hanging them on a peg before taking a seat at the table.<br />
<br />
“Wind’s getting up, Jonathon. Be sure to check the shipping forecast later.”<br />
<br />
“Yes, sir.” Jonty didn’t need the reminder, but said nothing. He ladled soup into a bowl then placed it in front of his father.<br />
<br />
“Not eating?” The usual note of disapproval colored Rex Trelawn’s tone.<br />
<br />
“No.” Jonty didn’t expand. His father knew full well that Jonty got seasick every time he sailed.<br />
<br />
“Come and join me.”<br />
<br />
Jonty held back a sigh. He wasn’t feeling up to defending himself yet again.<br />
<br />
“Shaw tells me your earnings are exceptional for such a young artist. He wants more work from you.”<br />
<br />
The sigh escaped. “Shaw has no business discussing my finances with you. He’s my agent, not yours.”<br />
<br />
“I hope you’re investing well?” Rex waved a soup spoon at him, ignoring Jonty’s objection. “I’ll have to put the rent up on Cliff House.”<br />
<br />
Jonty’s family, including his sister who was studying at King’s College, resided in London. Jonty chose to live at the family’s second home in Cornwall where the pure light was perfect for painting. He needed a place of his own where he could cut another tie to his domineering father but somehow he’d never gotten around to house hunting. He didn’t rise to Rex’s taunt. Housing discussions were preferable to those that questioned his ‘dubious lifestyle choices’. Rex Trelawn had never quite accepted his son’s sexual orientation and it was a topic best avoided. When Jonty came out at eighteen, Evie had shrugged, his mother had wept for a while then refreshed her makeup, hugged him then commenced trawling her copious address book for prospective boyfriends. Rex had given him the silent treatment for months until Jonty’s first gallery showing had sold out. He’d proved to have some worth, so they’d reached a truce of sorts.<br />
<br />
“It’s time I found a place of my own,” he said. “Property is a good investment these days, isn’t it?”<br />
<br />
Rex grunted. Checkmate had been reached. Rex wanted his son as a live-in caretaker for Cliff House, a place where he had a hold on him. Rex knew it and so did Jonty. “It’s time for the shipping forecast.”<br />
<br />
Jonty switched on the radio then relaxed into the familiar litany of strange names and wind speeds, paying particular attention to Lundy and Sole.<br />
<br />
“It’s brisker than I expected,” Rex muttered. “Bloody weather changes on the toss of a coin. We could be in for a bumpy ride.” He cut himself a slice of fruitcake, grinning.<br />
<br />
Jonty’s stomach did a jig. He just made it to the head in time.<br />
<br />
An unpleasant five minutes later, Jonty returned to the cabin to find Evie swapping places with their father at the table.<br />
<br />
“Have you been worshiping the porcelain god again, big brother?”<br />
<br />
“The boy has a weak constitution,” Rex grumbled, disappearing up the steps to the deck.<br />
<br />
“And he could eat roadkill on a rollercoaster without retching,” Jonty sniped. “You want soup, sis?”<br />
<br />
“Only if you haven’t thrown up in it.” Despite her words, Evie’s smile was sympathetic.<br />
<br />
“There’s nothing left in my stomach. Besides, you’re like Dad. You’ll eat anything.” Jonty did his duty with the soup then watched as Evie demolished the entire bowl and two sizeable chunks of bread.<br />
<br />
“Hungry work out there.” She grinned. “Dad been giving you grief again?”<br />
<br />
“Same as usual.” Jonty shrugged. “He won’t change.”<br />
<br />
“Next year when he proposes this trip, tell him to go take a running jump off the nearest pier.”<br />
<br />
“So says the favored child.”<br />
<br />
“I’m straight, gorgeous, I love sport and will provide him with grandchildren. You are not straight, far too pretty for a man, refuse to cut your hair, you hate sport and you have a talent he doesn’t, which will no doubt make you richer than him. Of course he loves me best.” She raised her mug of hot chocolate in a toast.<br />
<br />

She started writing to fill time between jobs and is now firmly and unashamedly addicted.<br />
<br />
She loves the English weather, especially the rain, and adores a thunderstorm. She loves good food, warm company and a crackling fire. She's fascinated by the psychology of relationships, especially between men, and her stories contain some subtle (and some not so subtle) leanings towards BDSM.</div>

<strong><span style="font-size: large;"><i>Synopsis</i></span></strong></h3>
Despite having had a rough life, Seth has a big heart. After spending nearly ten years sleeping rough on the streets of New York, he’s managed to get himself freelance work and a place to live. But his new found security is about to be torn apart, as the horrors of his p<span class="text_exposed_show">ast come back to haunt him in the worst possible way.</span>
<br />
<span class="text_exposed_show"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="text_exposed_show">
Dante was sent to watch over a young Seth when his mother died. As an angel, he had many rules to follow. The most important of which was to never fall in love—especially when it involves a human who is your charge. For the last ten years, Dante has kept his feelings for Seth hidden. That is until the night Seth’s past catches up with him.<br />
<br />
When Seth is murdered, their destinies are changed forever. Feelings and emotions come to the surface, but will the rules that govern the afterlife keep Dante and Seth apart for eternity, or will they be able to find their happily ever after together?
<br />

A<span style="font-weight: 400;">iden Chava has known he was gay for as long as he could remember, but his parents never accepted him. So, after counting down the days until he could leave their home and be himself, he moved out in search of a place where he belonged as soon as he turned twenty-one. Not knowing where else to go and lost in the plethora of people he never knew if he could fit in with, Aiden becomes a paramedic, devoting his time to taking care of others.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Darius Rayne is a werewolf who never knew his real parents. Being born from the union of a man and woman from rival packs, he was never accepted by either. So, the abandoned baby was left to be found by the leader of a band of rogue misfits roaming the streets of Santa Monica. Like the rest of his newfound family, Darius vowed to never grow up or fall in love.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: 400;">When the two men meet, an attraction is clear, but with both of their histories, could they just be two lost boys passing in the night? Or could they form a bond they never had with anyone else?</span>

<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Loud banging, with added yelling, pulled Nick out of a nightmare. After a restless, irritable, crunchy-messy night of tossing and turning, he had finally fallen asleep some time before dawn, and now at fuck o’clock in the morning there was knocking at the front door. And some asshole shouting words that he couldn’t make out. Was this part of his dream? He couldn’t tell. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">For the longest time he lay flat on his back, unwilling to move. The sheets were wrapped around him like a mummy, the quilt on the floor, and he was still in that half world between nightmare and reality. Even closing his eyes didn’t help dispel the vivid images of him walking up to the Oscar podium completely naked and with the Queen pointing and laughing at him.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Naked as the day he was born, hanging loose and free, and no one saying a thing. Apart from the laughing that was. Like it was okay that one of the Oscar nominees was walking up the steps free of any and all clothing. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Not to mention no one commented on the Queen throwing popcorn at him.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Yep, it had been <i>that</i> kind of nightmare, and it wasn’t the first time he’d had it. And where the Oscar fear came from he didn’t know. There would never be a chance of an Oscar for. Not for the guy whose acting career had happened by accident and formed only because of a personal rebellion against his straight laced family. His resume included two sequels to the highly profitable, but formulaic, shit-bad, Angels of Bedlam franchise, with his entire fee going charity because he didn’t need the money. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Nick hadn’t been in the first UK funded Bedlam film. Said film had been praised for its ingenious twist on a dark horror romance. No, he was the handy British villain in the next two, the studio cashing in on any money that was left out there in a saturated market by ticking all the boxes. Explosions, tick. Strong, but mostly naked, female lead, tick. Sexy down on his luck, in te wrong place at the wrong time, male lead, tick. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">And him, the ubiquitous bad guy with the English accent. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The follow up were certainly <i>not</i> Oscar material, and once Nick pulled his fragmented sleep-addled thoughts into line, he focused on the statistical likelihood of even being nominated for an Oscar in the first place, let alone accepting it naked.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">“Fuck me,” he muttered to the empty room and rolled onto his front. The banging had stopped and no one actually knew he was here, so, he wasn’t going to answer the door in a place that wasn’t even his. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Jason McInnery and his husband, Kieran, lived in this stunning home, in the small town of Ellery, Tennessee. Glass floor to ceiling, wide open rooms, a pool in the garden, and the most comprehensive jungle gym he’d ever seen for Jason and Kieran’s son, Jonas. Even the damn guest room was beautiful, a huge wood carving took up nearly one wall, and the view from the window out to the mountain was stunning. At least that was the adjective he was supposed to use for what he could see. Objectively, he could see it was spectacular, but was too lost in confusion since he got here to think about it too much. A quick glance at the clock showed him it was five am, like midnight or something back in London, and still dark in the shadow of the mountain, so he rolled over and pulled the covers up to his neck. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Even in the middle of the chaotic remnants of his nightmare he welcomed the heat that cocooned him and willed the knocking to stop. Which it did. The mess of dreams forgotten, he drifted on as many good thoughts as he could muster and was very nearly asleep when the banging started up again. He groaned and hid his face under the pillow, willing the person creating the noise to go away. Then it ceased again, and he closed his eyes, but didn’t remove the pillow. Dawn was too close now and the room would fill with light because he hadn’t even taken the time to pull the drapes. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Unfortunately, his bladder had other ideas about what he needed to do, and cursing, he grabbed the sheets and untwisted himself. Feet planted on the floor he scrubbed a hand over his face, the untamed beard was just another reminder of everything that was horribly wrong about his life right now. Normally he would have just the right amount of stubble, but the last instalment of Angels of Bedlam, cunningly entitled, Bedlam Adrift, called for him to be a castaway, hence the beard, which he’d left to tangle. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">No point in worrying about it anyway. He’d left London to get away from paparazzi, and their incessant need for more, and he was in unofficial hiding. Therefore, no one would see his beard, or his bloodshot eyes. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">He caught sight of himself in the mirror. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">“Jesus, you look fucked.”</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Bedhead. Bags under his eyes. Beard. It was a whole cacophony of B-shit. Yawning widely, he padded across the bedroom to the half bath, emptying his bladder and washing his hands. He’d gone to bed as nature intended. Well, warm nature anyway, completely naked, which probably led to nightmare. Packing back home had been done in less than five minutes, his priority was money, passport, his phone, his laptop and associated chargers. It seemed like his messed-up head hadn’t thought any kind of pajamas were needed, or indeed underwear. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The next choice was shower or bed, and the exhaustion of the past few days, the media attention, making sure Heather was okay, fleeing the UK, ending up here in the middle of rural Tennessee, it was all too much and he sighed.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">“Bed it is,” he muttered to his reflection. As soon as he woke up he was going online to order everything he’d forgot to pack. Jason had said to help himself to anything he needed but helping himself to his friend’s clothes didn’t feel right. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">He yawned again, and stepped out into the cooler bedroom, eyes only half open.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">“Hands where I can see them,” someone shouted, and Nick, startled, his heart pounding, fell backwards into the bathroom, catching himself on the jamb as best he could. He blinked to focus on the man in front of him.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The cop.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The gun.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The cop holding a gun on him. Immediately he raised his hands, and then lowered them to cover his junk, and then raised them again when the cop didn’t move.</span></span><br />

<br />
Sean Powell is having a terrible day. When he walks into Bistro Argent, ready to unwind over a glass of wine with the sommelier, he’s stunned to discover his friend has been replaced by a hot young guy with big ideas. Lucas Spencer is determined to liven up the staid and stodgy wine list, but his brash approach alienates the wine distributor during their first meeting. <br />
<br />
There’s no avoiding each other though and the more they butt heads, the hotter the tension between them gets. As they work together and their relationship progresses, they have to figure out how to blend their professional frustration and personal attraction without risking their careers.<br />
<br />
Lucas is eleven years younger than Sean, and despite their sizzling chemistry and compatibility, Sean can’t quite believe the feelings are mutual. A wine tasting trip to Traverse City, Michigan threatens their fledgling relationship. Sean’s insecurities rise to the surface as Lucas’s fears of losing Sean lead to jealousy. <br />
<br />
Does the relationship have legs or will they find out it’s corked?<br />

<b><span style="font-size: large;"><i>Excerpt</i></span></b></div>
<br />
“I disagree. I think customers want to be educated. As a sommelier, it’s my job to shape palates not cater to them,” Lucas said. “You’re not giving them enough credit. They want to learn. They just lack the opportunities.”<br />
<br />
Sean snorted derisively. “And you give the general public way too much credit.”<br />
<br />
Lucas rolled his eyes. “I’m not saying it’ll be easy, or that we should make these changes all at once, but I think there’s a real opportunity here. And look, I think if I add a good description, a tasting note of sorts on the menu, people would be drawn in. Hell, I’m willing to crack open some bottles and offer people samples before their meal. I’ve seen it done successfully in other restaurants. We can market it as a house wine and offer it by the glass.”<br />
<br />
Sean sneered at him. “Look, kid, I get you think you know it all, but I’ve been in this business longer than you and I know the way this works.”<br />
<br />
“Kid?” Lucas sputtered. <br />
<br />
The argument devolved from there. Sean grew progressively less open-minded and Lucas grew more frustrated. When Sean began pacing the room Lucas soon stood too, then tension that had been on a low simmer spilling over into a furious boil.<br />
<br />
“Just listen for a goddamn minute,” Lucas snarled. He spun and faced Sean and realized they were nearly nose to nose. The tension crackled between them, heating the air. Already worked up over their argument, frustrated by the constant bickering, and wanting Sean so bad he physically ached for it, Lucas finally snapped. He shoved Sean back against the wall, pinning him against it and ravaging his mouth. Sean gripped his shirt and Lucas half-expected him to shove him away, but instead, he surrendered with a needy groan that went straight to Lucas’s cock. <br />
<br />
“Why the fuck do I want you so much?” Lucas growled, trailing his lips down Sean’s neck. <br />
<br />
“You think I know?” Sean asked with a gasp, gripping Lucas’s shoulders so tight that it seemed like he might leave bruises. “I don’t even like you. I don’t want to want you.”<br />
<br />
His words were offset by the way he tilted his head to let Lucas bite and nip at his neck. The needy way he rubbed his hardening cock against Lucas’s thigh was a dead giveaway too. <br />
<br />
“Just shut the fuck up,” Lucas muttered, yanking Sean’s head forward for a kiss. It was so much better when they were kissing rather than talking—or arguing in their case.<br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The reluctant manager of his family’s restaurant, Frankie attempts to live up to the legacy of his father and grandfather. Running a business that isn't his passion and trying to do it without asking for help leaves him turning to less-than-legal means when he wants to surrender control.</span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Newly divorced, Calvin no longer lives in the closet, leaving him searching for what he most desires- control. So when he finds Frankie on his knees in the back room of a local bar, Calvin sees the sub he’s only ever fantasized about having.</span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Can Calvin find the confidence to explore his dominant side while showing his younger roommate that submission isn't only about whips and pain?</span></span><br />

<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">I loved everything about this book. I fell I love with the characters immediately and couldn’t put it down. </span><br style="white-space: pre-wrap;" /><br style="white-space: pre-wrap;" /><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Frankie and Calvin show you that sometimes a relationship needs something slightly different than most others to give both partners what they truly need. These two end up helping each other, even though when Calvin started their relationship he was only thinking of how much he could help Frankie. </span><br style="white-space: pre-wrap;" /><br style="white-space: pre-wrap;" /><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">I RECOMMEND this to all MM romance lovers, especially those who love to see the character learn and move forwards together.</span><br style="white-space: pre-wrap;" /><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-style: initial; height: 16px; width: 16px;"><img alt="❤️" class="_1ift _2560 img" src="https://static.xx.fbcdn.net/images/emoji.php/v9/zed/2/16/2764.png" style="border: 0px; display: inline-block; height: 16px; margin: 0px 1px; pointer-events: none; vertical-align: middle; width: 16px;" /></span>Kris</span></span>

<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: inherit;">Zain was just a dog walker. It was an unconventional job for a werewolf, even a brand new one, but he liked dogs and they liked him. It only seemed to make sense… right up until the point a vampire called him in to take care of his human pup. When his life collided with Liam and Caleb’s, none of them were prepared for the directions it could take.</span></div>

I know it’s been a while, but I hope you’ll agree this was worth the wait. You know the drill — this is playful dark erotica, emphasis on the dark.

<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: inherit;">R. Phoenix (code name: Raissa) has an unhealthy fascination with contrasts: light and dark, humor and pain, heroes and villains, order and chaos. She believes love can corrupt, power can redeem and that the best of intentions can cast shadows while the worst can create light. She agrees with those who say that the truth is best told through fiction — even though fiction has to make sense while reality can be utterly baffling.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: inherit;">She loves chatting with readers, though she often awkwardly rambles. No matter how much she tries to keep her bad and often perverted sense of humor in check, it seems to escape at the most inconvenient moments. (Thanks, universe.) Feel free to friend Raissa on Facebook and chat or send her an email! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Being a fugitive in the old west shouldn’t be this much fun.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The year is 1860. Robby Riverton is a rising star on the New York stage. But he witnesses a murder by a famous crime boss and is forced to go on the run--all the way to Santa Fe. When he still hasn't ditched his pursuers, he disguises himself as a mail order bride he meets on the wagon train. Caught between gangsters that want to kill him, and the crazy, uncouth family of his "intended", Robby's only ally is a lazy sheriff who sees exactly who Robby is -- and can't resist him.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Trace Crabtree took the job as sheriff of Flat Bottom because there was never a thing going on. And then Robby Riverton showed up. Disguised as a woman. And betrothed to Trace’s brother. If that wasn’t complication enough, Trace had to find the man as appealing as blueberry pie. He urges Robby to stay undercover until the danger has passed. But a few weeks of having Robby-Rowena at the ranch, and the Crabtree family will never be the same again. </span></span><br />

She has over 30 books published. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Eli has loved romance since her teens and she particular admires writers who can combine literary merit, genuine humor, melting hotness, and eye-dabbing sweetness into one story. She promises to strive to achieve most of that most of the time. She currently lives on a farm in Pennsylvania with her husband, bulldogs, cows, a cat, and lots of groundhogs. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In romance, Eli is best known for her Christmas stories because she’s a total Christmas sap. These include “Blame it on the Mistletoe”, “Unwrapping Hank” and “Merry Christmas, Mr. Miggles”. Her “Howl at the Moon” series of paranormal romances featuring the town of Mad Creek and its dog shifters has been popular with readers. And her series of Amish-themed romances, Men of Lancaster County, has won genre awards. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In 2018 Eli hopes to do more of the same, assuming they reschedule the apocalypse.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">A hospital orderly explores his bisexuality with an adorably geeky lab tech, but can their sparks lead to love outside the closet? <br /><br />When Ian Connolly installs a hookup app to explore his long-suppressed attraction to men, he doesn't expect to connect with anyone he knows, especially not lab tech Callum Price. But from their first scorching encounter, he's hooked.<br /><br />Callum hasn't had the best luck with love, and he's suffocating under a pile of responsibilities. But when he sees an opportunity to blow off steam with Ian, he takes it. The man is smoking hot, big all over, and sweet as pie.<br /><br />Their chemistry is off the charts, but a relationship is more challenging. Callum remains stubbornly self-reliant, while Ian tries too hard to be his rock. But if Ian can be honest with his family about loving a man, maybe Callum can admit his own truth: He wants a man he can count on, a man just like Ian.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />Callum Price swallowed hard, staring at Ian Connolly’s massive … everything.<br /><br />The orderly was six-foot-four, compared with Callum’s modest five-foot-eight height. Broad and muscled, Ian could toss Callum across the room with very little effort. That sent a thrill of fear through his body and a frisson of excitement straight to his cock.<br /><br /><i>You are one screwed up puppy.</i><br /><br />Callum knew the guy from the app might be someone he knew, but he never would have guessed him to be Ian “straight guy” Connolly.<br /><br />He licked his lips and raked his eyes over Ian’s chest and stomach, too obscured by the loose scrub top to hint at the goodies beneath. “I didn’t know you were ...”<br /><br />“Me either,” Ian said. Then coughed with embarrassment. “I mean, I’m bi and just now exploring my ... curiosity.”<br /><br />“Bi or bi-curious? They’re not the same.”<br /><br />“Are we really going to have a serious talk about sexuality in the john?”<br /><br />Ian had a point. Callum’s pulse raced, sending all his blood south and muddying his thoughts, as he stared at BigBiGuy. Ian. He knew the hospital orderly only through a loosely organized group of hospital staffers who played basketball every now and then. They nodded and smiled hello in the halls, but their paths didn’t cross all that much.<br /><br />Yet, here they were.<br /><br />Callum had noticed Ian was a big guy; it would have been impossible to miss. But he’d filed him into the unavailable category with all the other straight men, and as a result, hadn’t fully appreciated the man’s body.<br /><br />He wasn’t about to miss an opportunity to correct that mistake.<br /><br />“Take off your shirt.”</span><br />

She writes a variety of queer characters, from gay to bisexual to asexual, with a focus on telling love stories that are more about common ground than lust at first sight. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">DJ grew up in the Midwest in a working-class family, and those influences can be found in her writing through characters coping with real-life problems: money troubles, workplace drama, family conflicts and, of course, falling in love. DJ spent more than a decade in the newspaper industry before chasing her first dream to write fiction. She spent a lifetime reading before that, and continues to avidly devour her fellow authors' books each night. She lives in Kansas with her husband, two sons, two fish and, regrettably, one snake. </span></span><br />

<b><span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: inherit;">A Navy SEAL with PTSD and a Barman starting a new life. Maybe they can find love in Ellery.</span></b></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 14px; margin-top: -4px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: inherit;">Travis Baranski, Navy SEAL, is the first veteran to attend the Ellery Mountain Veteran Center. He is having a hard time coming to terms with what he had seen and what he has done. When he has a very public meltdown in Ellery stores it is Avery Gideon who steps up to the plate and helps him.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 14px; margin-top: -4px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: inherit;">Avery Gideon, a man cut off from his family for being gay, runs the only bar in town - The Alibi - and listens to many a person's problems whilst trying to forget his own.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 14px; margin-top: -4px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: inherit;">He sees something in the wounded warrior who needs a friend and very soon finds himself falling in love with Travis.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 14px; margin-top: -4px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: inherit;">Nothing will deter him from helping Travis, or from making Travis see he's still capable of loving Avery in return.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: white;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; white-space: pre-wrap;">I have loved all of the books in the Ellery Mountain Series, but I have a sweet spot for this one. That may Be because of my support for veterans because of my family history, but the love that blossoms between Travis and Avery is beautiful!!</span><br style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; white-space: pre-wrap;" /><br style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; white-space: pre-wrap;" /><span style="font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; white-space: pre-wrap;">I feel in love with Travis immediately. He is an ex-SEAL, and the first one at the new centre for veterans in Ellery. With physical and psychological battles to face things for Travis won’t be easy. When he meets Avery things start to change, he immediately feels like he wants to open up to Avery about what happened, and why he is in Ellery at the centre.</span><br style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; white-space: pre-wrap;" /><br style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; white-space: pre-wrap;" /><span style="font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; white-space: pre-wrap;">I recommend this to all romance lovers!</span></span><br />

She was told to write a story and two sides of paper about a trapped princess later, a lover of writing was born. She can mostly be found reading anything from thrillers to sci-fi <span class="yZlgBd" style="display: inline;">to horror. However, her first real love will always be the world of romance. When writing her goal is to write stories with a heart of romance, a troubled road to reach happiness, and more than a hint of happily ever after.</span></span></div>

<br />
Martin is the larger than life funny guy, the one who’s quick to soothe other’s pain, whilst hiding his own. He wants nothing more than to find ‘the one’, but his love life consists of a string of break-ups. He’s close to giving up on love, until he meets Ryan online, the artist whose work speaks to his soul. There are just two problems: Ryan already has a boyfriend and he lives in California, which is one hell of a long way from England.<br />
<br />
Working with Martin to develop a game is supposed to be purely business; a way for Ryan to earn the money to leave his abusive boyfriend. Except, he finds himself falling for the enigmatic Englishman. Wondering what kind of spark there might be if they were in the same country is one thing, escaping his boyfriend is another.<br />
<br />
Wounded by their past relationships, Martin and Ryan have to learn to trust each other in order to have a chance at building a future together.<br />

<b><i><span style="font-size: large;">Excerpt 1</span></i></b></div>
<br />
"So, I've been meaning to ask, do you surf?"<br />
<br />
Ryan blinked at Martin's question, which had seemingly come out of the blue just as they were wrapping up their latest call.<br />
<br />
He adjusted his position; the laundry room floor wasn't exactly comfortable. "Uh, no, I can't surf."<br />
<br />
Martin chuckled softly down the phone. "Isn't that what all you guys do in California? You surf, have bleached-blond hair and golden skin, and say, 'Totally rad, dude' a lot."<br />
<br />
Ryan couldn't stop himself laughing, which actually felt really good, though he did smother the sound with his hand. Not that anyone in the apartment block was likely to be awake at three in the morning, let alone wanting to do laundry.<br />
<br />
"You don't?" Martin's voice was full of fake shock. <br />
<br />
Ryan laughed even harder. He squeezed his eyes shut and pressed a hand against his ribs, taking deep breaths to try to calm himself. He couldn't remember the last time he'd laughed like that.<br />
<br />
"No," he gasped.<br />
<br />
"Really? Because I keep expecting you to say, 'Cowabunga, dude.' So, I guess pizza isn't your favourite food, either?"<br />
<br />
"Umm… I think you're confusing the 'surfer dude' stereotype with the Ninja Turtles." Ryan wiped his eyes. He leaned back against the washing machine he was sat in front of, careful to keep his bruised lower back from making contact with the unforgiving metal. "If that's what you think I'm like, does that mean you wear a three-piece suit, carry an umbrella and drink tea constantly?"<br />
<br />
"Oh, yeah," Martin said. "That's an absolutely spot-on description of everyone in Britain. Even the women wear tweed suits all the time."<br />
<br />
Ryan tried to hold the fresh burst of laughter inside him, but his ribs hurt too much to manage it. "And you're all soccer mad."<br />
<br />
"Football," Martin corrected. "And we all dunk biscuits in our tea."<br />
<br />
"What? Yuck. Seriously?"<br />
<br />
"Yes," Martin said in a very serious tone. "Trust me, you haven't lived until you've dunked a chocolate digestive in your tea."<br />
<br />
Ryan grimaced. He wasn't sure what a chocolate digestive was, but the thought of dunking a biscuit in a hot drink turned his stomach. Surely, it would just make a horrible mess? When he was a kid, his mom had given him milk and cookies, which he'd happily dunked, but cookies were way more solid than biscuits. <br />
<br />
"I'll take your word for it," he said, not eager to ever try it out.<br />
<br />
"You don't have to. I'll make you tea and biscuits if you come visit."<br />
<br />

I fell in love with her writing from the first page. Each book is an amazing work of art and her latest release - Why I Trust You - did not disappoint. In fact, while I love the first two books, this book goes above and beyond. It has to be my absolute favorite - and that says quite a bit. </span><span style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br class="kix-line-break" /></span><span style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br class="kix-line-break" /></span><span style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Martin is a computer developer who is on a mission to find the best graphic artist for his latest game that he’s crating. An over - achiever who turns everything he makes into gold has quite the high standards for the person he hires. Ryan is an artist who is in an abusive relationship but wants to get out of it. He wows Martin with his art designs for the game that’s being developed. Both men have trust issues from their past. </span></span></span></div>

It’s sweet, sexy, hot and loving. So many feelings that this story draws out of you! There are times when I actually found myself laughing out loud and other times when I wanted to beat the living daylights out of Ryan’s ex, Zane. The story grabs you by the arm, draws you right in, and refuses to let you go until the very last sentence.It’s a must read for anyone who loves a good romance with characters who are working toward bettering themselves and overcoming obstacles. </span></span></span></div>

Colette’s personal love story began at university, where she met her future husband. An evening of flirting, in the shadow of Lancaster castle, eventually led to a fairytale wedding. She’s enjoying her own ‘happy ever after’ in the north of England with her husband, two beautiful children and her writing. <br />

<b><span style="font-size: large;">Excerpt</span></b></div>
<br />
Devon froze. In his wolf sight, the omega male was a monochrome figure in gray, brown, and tan. He had a round face and light hair, escaping in scraggly curls that were tied at the nape of his neck in an elastic band. If Devon had been human, his mind might have drifted to poetry. The soft roundness of his figure was hinted at tantalizingly beneath a thin rain jacket and sodden yoga pants. His lips were full, his nose upturned endearingly at the tip. <br />
<br />
The omega smelled like the sweetness of fresh kill, and Devon wanted to lick him. To taste him. <br />
<br />
Stupid with desire, Devon whimpered.<br />
<br />
This was bad. A deep, instinctual part of him recognized that the omega in front of him was his true mate.<br />
<br />
The omega froze in place. "Who's there?" He wiped the sleeve of his jacket over his face and blinked. Squinting into the darkness. "Hello? Who’s there?"<br />
<br />
Devon held his breath. This omega was his true mate, and instinct demanded that Devon make his claim. But he had a job to do. If he revealed himself, he would put his entire pack in danger.<br />
<br />
The omega sniffed the air. Between the rain and his weaker human senses, he should not have been able to smell Devon. But he tensed, and Devon recognized both fear and curiosity as the omega turned toward him. "You're an alpha. I don't know you." The growing panic was evident in his tone. He would shout for help soon. Devon was surprised he hadn't shouted yet. Maybe there was some way to salvage this. Devon shifted, and then hands raised, he stood.<br />
<br />
Cold rain streamed down his body. Though Devon knew he lacked the essential viciousness that made an alpha truly strong, none of that was reflected in his body. A surge of pride washed over him as the omega's lips parted, and his eyes grew wide, and Devon smelled his desire.<br />
<br />
"I'm Devon."<br />
<br />
"Ezekiel. Zeke. Your, um…" Zeke ran his tongue between his lips, and imagining that tongue in those lips on him made Devon's cock swell.<br />
<br />
Devon kicked himself. He should have stayed hidden. He should have killed Zeke before the omega had seen him. But Zeke was his true mate, and even if he hadn't been, Devon didn’t have it in him to kill an innocent omega in cold blood. He wasn't his father. He wasn’t his grandfather. Which meant Devon would have to take Zeke with him, at least until all of this was over. <br />
<br />
Zeke was his true mate, and there was no way he was going to let the omega come to harm.<br />
<br />
But first, he had to make Zeke comfortable enough to trust him.<br />
<br />
"I have some clothes in this backpack," Devon said, shrugging his shoulders. "Do you mind if—?"<br />
<br />
"Yeah! You should do that!" Zeke swallowed. "Not that I mind looking at you. I mean, you’re really hot and—" He shook his head, and judging by the tint of embarrassment in his scent, Devon guessed that Zeke had flushed as well. <br />
<br />
It was perfect. And terrifying.<br />
<br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Everyone deserves a second chance.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Nate and his teenage daughter need a fresh start, so they move back to the village where he grew up. Nate's transgender, and not used to disclosing his history, so it's hard living where people knew him before. When Nate reconnects with Jack--his best friend from school and unrequited crush--his feelings return as strong as ever.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Jack's returned home to get his life in order after an addiction to alcohol caused him to lose everything: his job, his driver's licence, and nearly his life. He's living with his parents, which is less than ideal, but rekindling his friendship with Nate--or Nat as Jack once knew him--is an unexpected benefit of being back home. Jack is amazed by Nate's transformation, and can't deny his attraction. Trying for more than friendship might ruin what they already have, but the chemistry between them is undeniable.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Doubting his feelings are reciprocated, Nate fears he's risking heartbreak. Jack's reluctance to tell his parents about their relationship only reinforces Nate's misgivings. With both their hearts on the line and their happiness at stake, Jack needs to make things right, and Nate has to be prepared to give him a second chance.</span></span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><b><i>Excerpt</i></b></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">A hint of cigarette smoke carried on the wind caught Nate’s attention, and he realised he wasn’t alone. A hunched figure sat on a bench by the church. Wearing a heavy coat with the hood up, their head hung low staring at the grass between their feet rather than at the landscape stretched out before them. A cigarette hung from bony fingers that protruded from black fingerless gloves. As Nate watched, the man—because Nate could see his face now—raised his head to take a long drag before stubbing the cigarette out on the bench.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">A shock of recognition made Nate’s heart jump, thudding erratically.</span></span><br />
<i><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />Jack.</span></i><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Torn between conflicting urges to approach and flee, Nate stared at him, powerless to move.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">How many years had it been since Nate had seen him? At forty-five Nate found each year passed faster than the one before. It must have been twenty years at least since he’d seen Jack, maybe more, and longer still since they’d spoken properly. Their last meeting had been nothing more than an awkward exchange of greetings when they ran into each other in the village pub one Christmas. The distance between them had cut Nate like a knife, so different to their teenage years when they’d been best friends, and almost inseparable.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Jack slumped forward again, letting the cigarette butt fall from his fingers. He put his hands over his face and Nate recognised despair and hopelessness, because they’d been his companions in the past. Acting on instinct, he approached.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">“Sorry to intrude,” he said, pausing in front of Jack. “But are you okay? Is there anything I can do?”</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Jack jerked his head up in surprise. His pale cheeks flushed as he shook his head. “Not really. Just having a bad day. You know how it is… or maybe you don’t.”</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">“I do.”</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Nate studied him. The years had changed Jack, of course, but the essence of him was still the same. Sharp features, the strong nose Jack had always hated, even more defined with age, but more balanced now with dark stubble and the lines that the years were beginning to carve around his eyes and mouth.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">As Jack stared back, Nate realised there was no recognition dawning on Jack’s face. To Jack, Nate was a stranger. Five years on testosterone had changed Nate to a point where Jack couldn’t see the person Nate had been before. Normally this was something Nate was glad about, but now he felt a pang of regret</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Jay</b> lives just outside Bristol in the West of England. He comes from a family of writers, but always used to believe that the gene for fiction writing had passed him by. He spent years only ever writing emails, articles, or website content. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">One day, Jay decided to try and write a short story—just to see if he could—and found it rather addictive. He hasn’t stopped writing since. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Jay writes contemporary romance about men who fall in love with other men. He has five books published by Dreamspinner Press, and also self-publishes under the imprint Jaybird Press. Many of his books are now available as <a href="http://jaynorthcote.com/audio/">audiobooks</a>. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Jay is transgender and was formerly known as she/her. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b><span style="font-size: large;"><i>Blurb</i></span></b></span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />Andy Tyler has been the class daredevil since middle school. Over the years, he’s convinced his best friend, Jake Masterson, to perform some dangerous-looking stunts with him. But the dare they attempt on the night of their college graduation goes sideways. The firecrackers explode too soon and both of them end up with badly burned palms.<br /><br />But hey, nothing gets the “terrible two-o” down for long, and they recuperate in style at Andy’s family cottage in Cape Cod. As the weeks go by, both Andy and Jake grow frustrated over the inability to use their hands for all sorts of daily activities—including getting off. So Andy begins a new series of dares that don’t just cross the friendship line, they obliterate it.<br /><br />But what might be mere sexual relief to Andy is serious business to Jake, who only recently got over years of secret pining for his straight best friend. Inevitably, the burns heal, summer ends, and hearts are broken. To fix things, Andy will have to face the greatest dare of all.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><b><i>Excerpt</i></b></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The first few weeks at the cottage we had good weather and spent most of our time outside. Walter said our burns were coming along well. So far we’d avoided making things worse, which was a miracle. The burns were gnarly looking though, and painful when he rewrapped them.<br /><br />My palms were the bright red of fresh blood. They looked like they’d been dipped in boiling water, with layers around the edge turning white and loose in spots. My hands alternated between a mild burning and piercing pain that went supernova anytime I accidentally clenched them or bumped them into something. Doing or lifting anything that required any pressure on the skin whatsoever was right out.<br /><br />So by the time we’d been basking on the Nantucket Sound for two weeks, I was climbing the fucking walls.<br /><br />“I’ve never been this damn horny in my life,” I complained to Jake, bitterly and sincerely.<br /><br />It was almost noon, and we were sitting out on the dock like we usually did. It had been great hanging out together. We’d caught up on a lot of stuff we never seemed to get around to talking about during school—his upcoming new life. Harvard. Our mutual friends and exes. We’d told ghost stories. We’d taken long walks and kicked around a soccer ball for hours. We’d played poker on Jake’s tablet and consumed six seasons of <i>The Walking Dead</i> on the big-screen TV. It was nice having undivided Jake time, but I’d reached the point where frustration had me close to tears.<br /><br />Not tears of boredom either. Sexually frustrated tears.<br /><br />“Turn page,” Jake responded. He was reading on his Kindle.<br /><br />“I’m not sure how that would help me get off,” I joked.<br /><br />Jake snorted, but he didn’t rise to the bait.<br /><br />I shifted in my chair. I wasn’t kidding. I couldn’t remember the last time I’d gone more than two days without an orgasm. Probably not since I’d figured out the magical wonderland that was my dick when I was eleven years old. I’d had a permanent semi for days now, and my loose, silky gym shorts—worn because I could get them up and down by myself if I scooched against a wall—were doing nothing to disguise it or help it go away.<br /><br />I moved my bandaged hands onto the arms of the deck chair and looked down at myself. Even looking at my crotch made my dick grow under the silky blue fabric. It was like a hopeful puppy anticipating attention.<br /><br />In my peripheral vision, I saw Jake glance at it too. He leaned forward in his chair, hunching toward the Kindle, which was propped on a little table in front of him. “Turn page.”<br /><br />“You did not just read an entire page.” I smirked.<br /><br />“Shut up, Mr. TMI.” Jake fake-read some more.<br /><br />But I knew I had his attention. “Have you figured out a way to get off yet? Because I haven’t.”<br /><br />“No,” he said in a distracted voice. Despite his blasé look, I knew there was no way he was absorbing a single word on that Kindle screen.<br /><br />“Me neither. I tried humping the bed, but it didn’t work. Fucking mattress is so soft and lumpy.”<br /><br />“Can you not give me the gory details?” Jake hunched further and stared at the Kindle.<br /><br />“Rubbing against the tiles in the shower didn’t work. They’re too hard.”<br /><br />He snorted. “What are you, the Goldilocks of self-love?”<br /><br />I chuckled. “That’s me. I need something <i>just right</i>.” I used a filthy voice on the last bit.<br /><br />Jake shifted uneasily but didn’t look at me. “Too bad Amber dumped you. Maybe you could call her and play the poor invalid card. She might be willing to drive down for a conjugal visit.”<br /><br />“Nah. So not worth the bowing and scraping I’d have to do.”<br /><br />I gave it a moment, trying to build up my nerve.<br /><br />I hadn’t been kidding. I’d tried a half-dozen ways to get off, but nothing was working. So I’d put some serious brain power into figuring out a solution. I was good at working around obstacles, but the obvious answer—the thing I really <i>wanted</i>—involved Jake, and I wasn’t sure how he’d react.<br /><br />Just thinking about it, I plumped up further, causing a definite tent in my shorts. I half expected Jake to tease me, something like, <i>You could poke someone’s eye out with that thing.</i><br /><br />But all he said was, “Turn page.”<br /><br />“So . . . you haven’t gotten off since before the hospital?” I asked.<br /><br />“No,” Jake said quickly. “And it’s not helping to talk about it, thank you very much. It’s like when you talk about having a tickle in your throat, it makes you want to cough.” His voice was tense. I saw his eyes flicker toward my shorts, though he didn’t turn his head and he continued to pretend to read.<br /><br />My heart pounded. I felt exposed at the moment, my semi obscene, so I sat up and hunched forward too, elbows on my knees. I watched a ski boat go by. The roar of the motor was loud. I waited until it had passed. Then I swallowed and told myself it didn’t matter. It was no big deal to suggest it. And if he said no, it was no biggie. I could play it off as a joke. But it really didn’t feel that way.<br /><br />“Speaking of a tickle in your throat . . . I have an idea about how we can get off.”<br /><br />“You do?” Jake’s tone was fast and curious. Definitely interested.<br /><br />“Yup.”<br /><br />“Like what? Gonna have Walter install a Fleshlight in the shower?” He chuckled.<br /><br />I huffed. “Yeah. You know my dad combs through every one of my credit card statements. No way am I ordering a Fleshlight. Not to mention the fact that I’d have to kill myself after asking Walter to install something like that.”<br /><br />Walter, our nurse, was in his fifties, white, bald, and pudgy. He had a squeaky-clean fundamentalist thing going on and had mentioned “praying” for us several times. Ix-nay on asking Walter to mount a fuck tube in the shower.<br /><br />“So what then, Oh Planinator?” Jake sat up from his slouch and looked at me.<br /><br />Unable to meet his gaze, I studied the water. “Okay, so just hear me out before saying no.”<br /><br />“Oh shit. You only say that when it’s <i>really</i> whacked.”<br /><br />“Come on! I’m serious.”<br /><br />Jake sighed, but I could swear there was a new tension in the air. He was no longer pretending to read his Kindle. He leaned back in his chair and waited. “Go on, then. Spit it out.”<br /><br />I grinned and turned my head to look at him, raising an eyebrow. “That’s the goal, yeah.”<br /><br />He kicked my leg lightly with his bare heel. “Just say it.”<br /><br />“Okay. So. We can’t jerk off, right?” I held up my bandaged hands a little.<br /><br />“Obviously.”<br /><br />“Well, have you ever heard of guys who can, you know, suck their own dicks?”<br /><br />There was a sharp inhale from Jake, but he kept his face blank. “Yeah. I can’t though. Not even a little bit.”<br /><br />“I know. Me neither. So I thought . . .” Fuck. This was hard to say. Incredibly hard to say. But there was no point in beating around the bush. “Okay. So. What if we sucked each other, like, at the same time, and <i>pretended</i> we were doing ourselves? Sort of self-suck by proxy.”<br /><br />I’d intended to keep a jokey tone during this, so I could claim I was teasing. But the words started tumbling out, and there was a hollow ringing in my ears. I honestly didn’t have the slightest fucking clue what my tone had been or how it must have sounded to Jake.<br /><br />Next to me, he went deadly still. He stared down at his knees. There was a little frown behind his brow. He looked worried. Or disturbed. Or both concurrently.<br /><br />I fought the urge to overexplain or justify. <i>Play it cool</i>. I leaned back in my chair and closed my eyes as if soaking in the sun. “It would get the job done.” I shrugged.<br /><br />“Did you honestly just ask me to suck you off?” Jake asked in a quiet voice.<br /><br />“No. That’s not what I said. Don’t go all homophobic on me, bro. Look, we can’t use our hands at all. Fact. If you <i>could</i> suck yourself, you would—right? Fact. But you can’t. I’m in the same boat. So I’m thinking if we were end to end, we could close our eyes and pretend we’re doing ourselves. And we’d get off. And we wouldn’t have to get Walter or anyone else involved. It’s really the best solution.”<br /><br />Jake was silent again for a long moment. “I’m not doing that.” His voice was firm, grim, like he meant it.<br /><br />Honestly, I was surprised. And a little hurt.<br /><br />“Fine,” I said. “It was just a suggestion. You got a better idea? Or do you want the worst case of blue balls ever? Because I’m about to crawl the fucking walls.”<br /><br />“I’m not doing it,” he repeated adamantly.<br /><br />“Yeah, I heard you the first time, Jake.”<br /><br />In my peripheral vision, I could see he was stiff and tense, like he might bolt. But, finally, he relaxed. He leaned forward toward the Kindle. “Turn page,” he said, his voice tight.<br /><br />“What if I dared you?” I asked, unable to let it go.<br /><br />“Jesus, Andy, fuck off!” Jake snarled. He got up and stormed toward the cottage. We’d figured out that if we kicked the bottom of the screen door, it would bounce open for a second, long enough to get one foot in. He did this harder than necessary and went inside. I was so shocked, I let him go without a word.<br /><br />Goddamn it. I’d known it would be risky to bring it up, but some part of me believed Jake would jump at the chance. Or, worst case, brush it off as a joke. I hadn’t expected anger. Jake had never told me to fuck off like that. Not that I could remember.<br /><br />Shit.<br /><br />Okay. Bad idea. Abort, abort. But it was too late to take it back.</span><br />

<br />
<i>French male model Simeon Duchamp has a lot of explaining to do.</i><br />
<div>
<br />
Two years after a breakdown Simeon is off drugs and booze and wants to stay that way.</div>
<div>
<br />
On his road to reclaiming his life and modeling career, Sim first needs to apologize to the man he hurt the most -his ex-best friend and object of his unrequited affection Pieter Bayer. Pieter now has a long-term partner, artist Emily Raven, with whom he shares a baby son. Sim is amazed when Pieter accepts his apology, and invites him into his family.<br />
<br />
Closeness to Pieter sees Simeon's longing for his friend is rekindled. But then, when Simeon meets an attractive older man, Bastian Roth at an Art Exhibition, he realizes that there is a soul more broken than his, and Simeon feels compelled to help. Simeon's connection with the troubled Bastian Roth turns his world upside down. He has to decide whether to allow himself to fall for the man who wants him or pine for the man he can never have.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><i><br /></i></b></span></div>
“Our final guest has arrived,” Emily announced triumphantly, her eyes mischievously meeting those of her partner-in-crime, Pieter, who’d come up with the master plan to challenge Simeon to a ‘cook-off.' Pieter returned her stare and smirked as Simeon’s jaw dropped in realization of what he was seeing.<br />
<br />
Emily knew they had done the right thing when she saw the way Simeon and Bastian stared at one another, their eyes as large as saucers. The electricity between them was palpable. Simeon could be a bit of a motor mouth, but on seeing Bastian Roth standing in the open plan kitchen, Simeon Duchamp appeared to be lost for words.<br />
<br />
“Good to meet you,” Pieter said, stepping in to break the awkward silence and offering a hand to Bastian. “You have great taste in art,” he joked.<br />
<br />
“Ah, yes, the collection I purchased.” Bastian smiled warmly, shaking Pieter’s slender, elegant hand in both of his own. “How could I resist. Your partner is a very talented painter. She captures your beauty so well.” Pieter blushed. Bastian turned and strolled behind the kitchen island to greet Simeon.<br />
<br />
Sim looked nervously up through his dark lashes, and the two men paused for a moment, just staring. “I, uh, didn’t know you were coming,” Simeon said, his breathy French accented voice surprised, and as light as a whisper on the wind. Simeon leaned in and gave Bast the traditional French greeting of "Fairela bise,” reserved for family, friends, and intimate acquaintances, kissing him on both cheeks. Bastian kissed him in return, and when the men drew back, both looked flushed from their closeness.<br />
<br />
“Uh, Emily and Pieter invited me to dinner. I had no idea you would be here either”, Bastian said privately to Simeon’s ear. “It appears we’ve been set up.”<br />
<br />
Simeon was outraged. He’d never needed to be set up in his whole life. Sim’s gaze darted to Pieter and Emily who both bit their bottom lips and glanced innocently at the ceiling and floor. He shook his head, pursed his lips, and then said. “A moment,” to Bastian, to excuse himself and stalked away. Simeon grabbed Pieter by his forearm and dragged him down the hallway.<br />
<br />
****<br />
<br />
“What the fuck do you think you’re doing?” Simeon said, sounding outraged, his bony index fingers jabbing Pieter in the ribs. Pieter roared with laughter, Simeon knew his most ticklish places by heart.<br />
<br />
“We just thought we’d help nudge things along, you know.”<br />
<br />
“But I’m doing just fine. I told you. I met him for coffee last week, and we had a chat. We both said sorry. It’s all cool.”<br />
<br />
“But it’s been a week. A week is a long time. Did you call him? Did he call you?”<br />
<br />
“Well, no. It’s, uh, complicated.” Simeon gave a Gallic shrug.<br />
<br />
“You told me you want to see him again. What’s complicated about it?”<br />
<br />
“You know… feelings and shit. Baggage.”<br />
<br />
“His or yours?”<br />
<br />
“Both. Jesus Peety.” Simeon exhaled loudly and slumped to sit on the bed, raking his hands through his black hair. “He’s soooo fucking hot. But we’re both broken. I don’t know if I’m the man to… I’ve never had a proper boyfriend. I’ve never been a proper boyfriend. Does he even want a boyfriend? I mean. The man is still grieving, and he’s all kinds of messed up. I have all kinds of shit going on myself, and I just don’t think I can do this.” Simeon exclaimed, a hint of alarm in his French timbre as the words babbled out.<br />
<br />
“Do you like him?”<br />
<br />
“I don’t know him. I like what I see, but I haven’t spent enough time with him to know if I want more than hot monkey sex.”<br />
<br />
“And that’s why this dinner party is such good timing, no?” Pieter smiled triumphantly.<br />
<br />
“Look. We’re all grown up now, and this is what grown-ups do, Sim.” Pieter said, knowing all too well that the Simeon he knew before his breakdown was a Grindr addict as well as a substance abuser. “From an outsider view it’s clear you like him, he likes you. Yes, your first time together was …fucked up beyond belief, but you both talked about it like adults and apologized, yeah. That’s progress, no? If you felt unsafe with him, you would tell me, yeah?”<br />
<br />
“You think he likes me?” Simeon sighed, the insecurity all too evident.<br />
<br />
“Uh, yeah!”<br />
<br />
“What happened was both of our faults. I don’t think he’s a violent man. I don’t feel unsafe with him… Me on the other hand…”<br />
<br />
“Oh, Gahh’d, I know! Your temper is legendary. To be honest, I would actually be more worried for him.” That comment got Pieter another jab in the ribs. “So, we have a nice relaxed dinner and all get to know each other a little. If you both get on then, you know what to do next.”<br />
<br />
“Fine” Simeon exhaled.<br />

She relocated to the UK and, faced with the dreaded artist’s creative block, Isobel started to write and found she loved writing more than making art.<br />
<br />
Isobel is currently working on her fifteenth book. The Shatterproof Bondseries is an Amazon Gay Romance bestseller and is being translated into French with Juno Publications, German with Deadsoft Verlag, and Italian with Quixote Edizioni. The series is also available as audiobooks, narrated by Gary Furlong.<br />

An alpha werewolf chasing his dream meets an omega fighting for his life in a strictly temporary marriage of convenience...<br />
<br />
Alpha werewolf Beau Jeffries has been going it alone ever since he was cast out of his pack as a teenager for trying to help a human and endangering the pack’s secrets during the tumultuous years when the wider world was learning the truth about werewolves. He hasn’t lost his drive to help others, and he’s about to begin a prestigious medical residency--only to learn that, as the first werewolf the program has knowingly accepted, he’ll have to follow special rules, including the one that requires him to be married when he begins his residency.<br />
<br />
Omega werewolf Roland Lea is just trying to survive. After escaping the last and worst in a string of abusive relationships that left him scarred and unable to conceive, he’s found safety in a refuge for homeless omegas. But despite the help he’s getting at the refuge, he just keeps getting sicker instead of better, further and further from being able to make it on his own. When he’s offered the opportunity to sign up with a mate-matching agency, he figures he has nothing to lose. No alpha is ever going to want an omega like him.<br />
<br />
When Beau sees Roland's profile, he knows at once what's making the omega sick, and he's determined to help. If he can persuade Roland to marry him, he can save Roland's life while Roland helps him get through his residency. But will their hasty partnership be enough to bring them both through what's ahead--and can temporary necessity lead to a forever love?<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
He did sleep a little, or at least his thoughts drifted into quiet blankness for a while. He came back to himself when the car’s front doors closed, leaving only him and Beau inside. Roland opened his eyes to find Beau’s face closer than he expected.<br />
<br />
Close enough to kiss.<br />
<br />
His breath caught, and he felt that dangerous little thrill of anticipation, when he should have known better, should have been far past wanting anything like that ever again. <br />
<br />
Beau just smiled. “Ready for our wedding day?”<br />
<br />
Roland looked toward the window, and beyond it, the uninformative front of the refuge. “They didn’t... plansomething, did they? It’s not gonna be, like...”<br />
<br />
A tumble of images played through his head, mostly human weddings he’d seen on TV and in movies, elaborate and protracted events that always involved someone being terribly humiliated or disappointed or otherwise reduced to tears.<br />
<br />
“I think they know you well enough to know you won’t want anything huge and exhausting,” Beau said quietly. “I suspect there’s going to be cake, though. You think you might be able to eat a little cake?”<br />
<br />
Roland bit his lip, and his stomach squirmed uneasily. “Do you have any more of those ginger candies?”<br />
<br />
Beau smiled and brought one out of his pocket, unwrapping it before holding the candy to Roland’s lips. He closed his eyes and opened his mouth for it, and the first sharp bite of the ginger made his mouth water alarmingly and his eyes sting. Beau stayed steady at his side, keeping one arm around him all the time, and after another moment Roland said, “I guess we have to get out of the car eventually.”<br />
<br />
“Not really where I’d pictured us living for the next few years,” Beau agreed, but he didn’t make any move to get Roland out of the car until Roland picked his head up and twisted toward the door.<br />
<br />
When they got inside there wascake, and Susan and Ms. Dawson and Dr. Hanek who ran the refuge and was, as it turned out, both a registered officiant for weddings and a notary public. He had Beau and Roland sign the pre-nup first, getting it notarized and witnessed across several copies.<br />
<br />
Which meant Roland had to write his name when he couldn’t read it.<br />
<br />
“It’s okay, take your time,” Beau murmured, and laid his finger down on the page. “Right along there. Right above my finger. When you’re ready.”<br />
<br />
Roland took a few breaths, trying to make his fingers fit comfortably around the pen, to remember the motions of signing his name. He couldn’t remember when he’d ever done it that meant anything, but it couldn’t be that hard. He’d learned cursive in school. He knew how to write his own name, and that was all it was, really. His own name, in cursive, saying that he agreed to be married to Beau with all these conditions. <br />
<br />
He squinted at it when he was done; it looked a little crooked and wobbly, but that seemed to be his name. Roland Lea. He’d done it. <br />
<br />
And then he had to do it three more times.<br />
<br />
“I’ll put one of these on file here,” Dr. Hanek explained, “and send one to the state Omega Rights Initiative. They hold a lot of these types of documents, just to be on the safe side.”<br />
<br />
“Of course,” Beau said easily. “And Roland will have his own copy to keep as well.” <br />
<br />
One was duly put into an envelope for him, and Roland held it, along with his birth certificate, while they did the rest of the wedding formalities. It was all so calm and matter of fact, just sitting on a loveseat beside Beau in one of the refuge sitting rooms, with Susan and Ms. Dawson and Dr. Hanek gathered around on other chairs. Roland barely realized the questions he was answering were his wedding vows, even when he automatically responded, “I do.”<br />
<br />
But then there was a tiny round of applause, and Roland turned to meet Beau’s eyes.<br />
<br />
Beau raised his eyebrows, asking some silent question, and Roland nodded a little, and then—oh, oh—Beau dipped his head and touched his lips to Roland’s, soft and chaste. A kiss. Their first kiss.<br />
<br />
They were married.<br />
<br />
There was another paper to sign for that, but Beau let Roland sign along his finger again, and his hand didn’t shake any worse than the first four times. <br />
<br />
“Excellent. We’ll put the appropriate date on this and send it in tomorrow to be filed, but you are now officially married. Congratulations, both of you.”<br />
<br />
“Thanks,” Roland murmured, and then looked up at Beau, who squeezed him a little closer.<br />
<br />
“We’ll eat some cake first,” Beau said. “Then we’ll figure out everything else.”<br />
<br />
<br />
