The
Foster Family by Jaime Samms
Blurb:
Growing
up in foster care has left Kerry Grey with little self-esteem or hope for his
future. A college dropout, Kerry scrapes by on a part-time job at a garden
nursery. His friendship with his boss and working with the plants are the only
high points in Kerry’s life. He’s been dating the man who bullied him at
school, but when his boyfriend abandons him at a party, Kerry wanders down the
beach to drown his sorrows in a bottle of scotch.
Malcolm Holmes and Charlie Stone have been together for fifteen years. Despite
Charlie's willingness to accept Malcolm's unspoken domination in bed,something
is missing from their relationship. Early one morning, they rescue a passed out
Kerry from being washed away by the tide and Charlie immediately senses a
kindred spirit in the lost younger man. When Kerry’s roommate kicks him out,
Malcolm and Charlie invite him into their home. As Charlie and Kerry bond over
Charlie’s garden, Malcolm sees Kerry may be just who they have been looking for
to complete their lives. All they have to do is show Kerry, and each other,
that Kerry's submissive tendencies will fit their dynamic.
But someone is sabotaging Kerry at every turn. As he struggles to discover the
culprit, he fears for the safety of his new friends. If Malcolm and Charlie
cannot help, their lifelong search for their perfect third may not end with the
happily ever after they imagined.
Don’t
Trust the Cut by Kade Boehme
Blurb:
Tucker
Gray is a Baltimore, MD waiter, hailing from the deep south, whose mental
health issues and past relationships have made it hard to trust more than the
cut. After he hits what he thought was rock bottom Tucker decides to keep close
to the ones who stood by him and keep his head down, until he finds something
to prove it can get better.
Jesse Bauer is unsure what his future holds after an injury forces him to
retire from the marines. With all of the decisions he has to make in his
civilian life with all of its freedoms and possibilities, he feels staying
closeted and keeping the people in his life happy will keep down the chaos.
Until the night he met Tucker Gray at a party he thought that’d be possible,
but both of them are instantly and strongly in lust. As their relationship
grows Jesse has to prove himself and Tucker has to learn to trust more than the
cut.
Bad
Things by Varian Krylov
Blurb:
Xavier
makes a lot of people nervous. The rest, he flat-out scares. More than his
hulking, tattooed body, it's his predator's gaze that makes people feel
vulnerable, as if he had the power to read their thoughts and see their soul.
For his lovers, it's Xavier's ravenous appetite for all things carnal—for the
taste of flesh under his tongue and the feel of a trembling body under his
control, for whispered pleas and muffled cries—that makes him dangerous.
But recently, driven by a festering rage against the men who attacked his
sister a decade ago, Xavier has developed a taste for a different kind of hunt
and conquest: stalking men who do truly bad things and punishing the predators
he sniffs out. The problem with vigilante justice, though, is sometimes the man
in your trap is innocent.
Carson suspects he's playing a risky game with dangerous men. But the lies are
convincing, especially when they're slipped to him among hundred dollar bills.
He never guessed how big and dark the secret hidden under all the lies and
money could be. And he has no idea he's not the predator, but the prey, until
it's too late.
And you can't beg for mercy when there's a gag in your mouth.
But when Carson escapes from Xavier's trap, he's forced to accept that Xavier
is far from his most dangerous enemy. Xavier may even hold the key to overcoming
the painful past that has kept Carson prisoner for almost two decades.
What
He Wants by Kate Aaron
Blurb:
Christo's
life fell apart when his partner of eight years walked out on him. There wasn't
even a reason for it: sometimes love just fades, as quickly and mysteriously as
it appears in the first place.
Enter Damien. Damien's the guy with a different man on his arm for every event,
he's smooth and arrogant and always impeccably turned out. Christo hates him.
But God, he's gorgeous. Damien could be exactly what Christo needs to get him
over John.
It's only going to be a fling. Nothing serious, nothing that will affect their
working relationship or the rest of their lives. So why are they fighting
through the night rather than letting go and walking away? Why does Damien's
secretive nature bug Christo so much? And why does he even care that the other
man might not be as tough as he pretends to be?

Harmony Ink Press Young Adult Title
Fairy Tate. Twinklefingers.
Lucy Liu. Will the taunting ever end? Lucas Tate suffers ridicule
because of his appearance and sensitive nature. When he’s not teased, he’s
ignored, and he doesn’t know which is worse. He feels unloved by everyone, but
the one comfort in life is his music. What he wants more than anything is to
find a friend.
Much to his dismay, both his mom and a schoolmate are determined to find him a
boyfriend, despite the fact Lucas hasn’t come out to them. His mom chooses a
football player who redefines the term “heartthrob,” while Trish pushes him
toward the only openly gay boy at Providence High. But Lucas is harboring a
crush on another boy, one who writes such romantic poetry to his girlfriend
that hearing it melts Lucas into a puddle of goo. All three prospects seem so
far out of his league. Lucas is sure he doesn’t stand a chance with any of them—until
sharing his gift for music brings him the courage to let people into his heart.
