My Brother’s Lover by Lynn Kelling
Growing up gay in a small town with no mother, Evan Savage
learned the hard way to cherish his secrets above all else. Now he's 18, not
even his father can hurt him anymore. When his long-lost twin brother Brennan
shows up out of nowhere looking for a new home, Evan's world, and his very
identity, comes crashing down around him all over again. Brennan treats nothing
as sacred in his search for a family connection after their mother's death.
Frustrated and reckless, anonymous sexual encounters are just the first step on a journey of self-discovery for both Evan and Brennan. The sweetness of first love with twin brothers Alek and Luka leads them find in each other things they never knew they had lost...
...and lures them all into danger.

Dirty Laundry by Heidi Cullinan
The course of true love doesn’t always run clean. But sometimes
getting dirty is half the fun.
Entomology grad student Adam Ellery meets Denver Rogers, a muscle-bound hunk of sexy, when Denver effortlessly dispatches the drunken frat boys harassing Adam at the Tucker Springs laundromat. Thanking him turns into flirting, and then, much to Adam’s delight, hot sex over the laundry table.
Though Denver’s job as a bouncer at a gay bar means he gets his pick of geek-sexy college twinks, he can’t get Adam out of his head. Adam seems to need the same rough play Denver does, and it’s damn hard to say no to such a perfect fit.
Trouble is, Adam isn’t just shy: he has obsessive compulsive disorder and clinical anxiety, conditions which have ruined past relationships. And while Denver might be able to bench-press a pile of grad students, he comes from a history of abuse and is terrified of getting his GED. Neither Denver nor Adam want to face their dirty laundry, but to stay together, they’re going to have to come clean.

Fettered by Lyn Gala
Dylan Carter has always played second fiddle to his perfect
older brother, but now that brother is implicated in a terrible crime, and
Dylan's family is imploding. Dylan can’t hide anymore. Knowing he’s falling
apart, he searches for something or someone to hold him together—and lands in a
BDSM bar called the Stonewall.
Dylan doesn’t understand Miss Dolphinia, the hard-drinking queen who seems determined to play matchmaker. But more confusing is the way the powerful men in leather make him feel. In her wisdom, Miss Dolphinia sends Dylan off to a back room for his introduction to the world of erotic spankings and bondage.
Dylan’s teacher—for want of a better word—is the very dominant Vin Hauser. Vin likes to play hard, but he’s honest with himself—he knows all those men want is a strong hand, not a long-term relationship. Yet Vin can’t help but hope Dylan might be different.
With controversy over his brother’s sins stirring up danger around him, Dylan needs Vin’s support more than ever. But until he and Vin learn to trust each other, Dylan will have to face his fear and the growing threats alone.
Trigger warning: off-page violent hetero rape.

King Perry by Edmond Manning
In a trendy San Francisco art gallery, out-of-towner Vin
Vanbly witnesses an act of compassion that compels him to make investment
banker Perry Mangin a mysterious offer: in exchange for a weekend of complete
submission, Vin will restore Perry's "kingship" and transform him
into the man he was always meant to be. Despite intense reservations, Perry
agrees, setting in motion a chain of events that will test the limits of his
body, seduce his senses, and fray his every nerve, (perhaps occasionally
breaking the law) while Vin guides him toward his destiny as "the one true
king." Even as Perry rediscovers old grief and new joys within himself,
Vin and his shadowy motivations remain enigmas: who is this offbeat stranger
guiding them from danger to hilarity to danger? To emerge triumphant, Perry
must overcome the greatest challenge alone: embracing his devastating past. But
can he succeed by Sunday's sunrise deadline? How can he possibly evolve from an
ordinary man into King Perry? A Bittersweet Dreams title: It's an unfortunate
truth: love doesn't always conquer all. Regardless of its strength, sometimes
fate intervenes, tragedy strikes, or forces conspire against it. These stories
of romance do not offer a traditional happy ending, but the strong and enduring
love will still touch your heart and maybe move you to tears.
Trusting Thomas by KC Wells
Christmas is a time for goodwill to all, but Collars and Cuffs
co-owner Thomas Williams receives an unexpected gift that chills him to the
bone. A Dom from another Manchester club asks Thomas for his help rescuing an
abused submissive, Peter Nicholson. Thomas takes in the young man as a favor to
a friend, offering space and time to heal, but he makes it clear he’s never had
a sub and doesn't want one.
Peter finds Thomas’s home calm and peaceful, but his past has left him unwilling to trust another Dom. When Thomas doesn't behave as Peter expects, Peter’s nightmares begin to fade, and he decides he’d like to learn more about D/s life. A well-known trainer of submissives, Thomas begins to teach Peter, but as the new submissive opens up to him, Thomas finds he cares more for Peter than he should. Just as he decides it’s time to find a permanent Dom for Peter, they discover Peter’s tormentor is still very much a threat. With their lives in danger, Thomas can’t deny his feelings for Peter any longer. The question now becomes, can Peter make it out of the lions’ den alive, so that Thomas can tell his boy that he loves him?
