Gay Love and Other Fairy Tales

Jordan and Benjamin Forever #1

Dylan James

Jordan Ortiz decides he can no longer hide who he truly is. He’s gay.  He comes out to his family, then he comes out to everyone, and it goes well. Like, way better than he thought possible. But that’s about where it ends. There aren’t enough out gay kids at school for him to build a queer social life or even consider the possibility of dating. For now, he’s happy to be the gay bestie for his BFF, Hannah.

Benjamin Cooper is the captain of the football team and has known Jordan for almost his whole life. And he has a secret. When they won an award at the science fair in grade nine, Jordan hugged him—and that’s when Ben realized he had feelings for Jordan. As he watches Jordan come out and flower into who he is, he can’t help but feel ashamed—ashamed at what a coward he is compared to Jordan.

When a broken leg and fair-weather friends leave Ben feeling lonely on Christmas break, he spends New Year’s Eve with Jordan, just hanging out in his basement like they used to years ago. But as the countdown to midnight happens and the ball is about to drop, Ben has something else in mind. At the stroke of midnight, he kisses Jordan.

What starts with a surprise kiss leads to a year of shared secrets, hidden love, relationship troubles, and broken hearts. Through it all, one fact holds true—Jordan loves Benjamin and Benjamin loves Jordan. But is that enough to carry them through when Ben wants to stay firmly in the closet, to the very point that this might destroy what hope they have of true love?

Jessica Collins

Juliet is so over finding her Romeo...

Cute barista Juliet is on the hunt for love. Yet, it seems each new date, and potential suitor, is only another epic disaster. Ready to give up for good during one particularly bad date, an attractive yet frustratingly arrogant man intervenes to save her from the oaf she's with. But, when they part ways after the rescue, Juliet can't stop thinking about him.

But he isn't over finding her...

Austin can't get his mind off the frustrating encounter either. So much so, he decides to create an on-line dating profile for the sole purpose of talking to Juliet once again. When he finally finds her account, he'll use every trick in the book for her to agree to a date with him. Even though he can't quite explain why.

And neither is a potential stalker...

When photographs of Juliet show up at the coffee shop where she works, and then at her home, Juliet isn't sure who she can trust. Could the devastatingly handsome Austin be hiding a dark obsession? Or, could the truth be even worse ... that the person behind the camera has been hiding in plain sight.

House of Tannin #1

Cara Aisling & Jessica Collins

After the raven-haired Rhys washes upon Lord Cadeon’s shore, neither man can deny their desire for each other. Or their shared love, Imogen. When a powerful enemy emerges, the three risk losing more than just their lives. They risk losing…each other.

Washed upon a foreign shore, Rhys Kelstai finds himself in the company of the very handsome Lord Cadeon of Tannin. With nothing other than vague memories of being thrown to the mercy of the sea—and a gaping hole in his side—Rhys offers servitude to Lord Cadeon as gratitude for saving his life.  Servitude in any way the lord desires.

Cadeon of Tannin has been heartbroken, left by his love, Imogen, months earlier. Since then, Cadeon has thrown himself into the protection of his subjects, ignoring his own carnal desires. Nevertheless, it seems the raven-haired Rhys is determined to melt the ice surrounding Cadeon’s heart, a notion Cadeon finds himself not only warming to…but craving.

When Imogen returns to his lands only a few weeks after the hedonistic Rhys appears, they are determined to show Cadeon the truth—three are better than two. Yet, when a dangerous witch, hell-bent on destroying Imogen, descends upon Cadeon’s land, the trio know this will be the fight of their life.  When she finds the only way to defeat Imogen is through her greatest threat—Lord Cadeon—she turns her sorcery elsewhere: Rhys Kelstai.

When lust, love, and danger collide there is only one truth—they will either all live together.... or die together.

A dangerous past…
Jayla Solonga is a woman on the run. Hiding for the better part of five years from her abusive ex, Jeffrey Alwazir, she’s moved from state to state, keeping watch over her shoulder, never settling down for long.

That is, until a handsome stranger crashes his way into her life.

With a hope for the future…
Alistair Kane is a master at reading others. It’s what makes his security company so successful—the ability to determine a dangerous situation before it happens.

When Alistair meets Jayla, he’s immediately infatuated with the mysterious woman. Her quick wit and sassy attitude instantly register the truth for him—she’s a natural, bratty submissive. A thought which has his blood—and other areas—heating.

Until her time runs out…
Alistair’s firm yet gentle approach is what allows Jayla to tear down her emotional walls, discovering a whole new world through bondage and submission. Desire, pleasure, control…love—emotions Jayla feared she’d never experience again. Now, she’s more determined than ever not to let her past dictate her future. The only thing holding her back is the truth she’s hiding from Alistair: Jeffrey isn’t an ex—he’s her husband. One who will stop at nothing to find her. To own her.

To break her.
