Summary: LAMBDA Finalist 2014 When fifteen-year-old Romeo's mother leaves one day and doesn't return, he finds himself homeless and trying to survive on the streets.

This is the story of their struggle to find a way off the streets and stay together at all costs. But when events threaten to tear them apart, Romeo knows he must find the strength within himself to help Julian (and not let their love story turn into a tragedy).

Growing up in a military family and drowning in his parents’ broken promises, Ryver Nelson finds himself stuck in small-town Missouri for his senior year of high school.

That is until he meets Jorrin Turner, the hot quarterback with a heart of gold and a sinful body. The closer Ryver gets to Jorrin, the harder it is to navigate a homophobic father, small-minded classmates, relentless hormonal urges, and the desperate need just to be himself. Homecoming is on the horizon, and Ryver’s never even been kissed. Maybe this year will be different. Maybe this year, he can have his hot jock, a fairytale dance, and friends who accept him for who he is and with all his quirks. It’s agonizing trying to stand out while also struggling to fit in.

Summary: Mike Emory: I’m the drummer for Chaos, a band I created with my best friend, Fletcher back when we were teenagers with big ambitions and stars in our eyes. A chance meeting with the rock god, Dagger Drummond catapulted our careers into the stratosphere. There’s no looking back now because keeping the trajectory of our rising star heading skyward requires a dedication and persistence I wasn’t prepared for. Humor helps me keep my life simple. I’m known for having the ability to laugh at just about anything—including myself. I may be a successful musician but unlike my best bud, I’m unlucky in love. Instead I became an Olympian at hook-ups. My favorite combination is a triad. But, finding two perfect partners to share life with long-term is unlikely to happen. It’s a good thing I have the broad and capable shoulders of my personal security guard to cry on because sometimes life is hard on the soul. And sometimes love creeps up when you least expect it, and in the least likely place of all—right under your nose. Griffin Sanstrom: My job is to protect Michael which isn’t always easy to do. He thinks he’s a comedian, when most often he’s just being a brat. I’m on to him though, because I know sometimes those who laugh the loudest are the ones crying on the inside. I’m supposed to be his shadow but the closer I find myself getting, the weaker I am at putting distance between us. I want to be with him all the time—even when I’m not on duty. Now doing my job objectively has become a problem. Working in personal security we’re not allowed to have distractions from the job, but what happens when the man you’ve fallen for becomes the biggest distraction of all? Three Part Harmony is part of the multi-author Road to Rocktoberfest 2024 series. Each book can be read as a standalone, but why not read them all and see what antics our bands get into next?

Summary: This isn’t a romance about chiseled, lantern-jawed college kids boasting V-cut abs. There are no marathon steamy sex sessions, not without having at least one nebulizer on standby anyway. Marcel Giresse, the thirty-six-year-old Director of Finance at the French Ministry of Justice, is happy to leave all that nonsense to his oldest friend Lucien, the sixteenth Earl of Rossingley. In fact, Marcel is too short of breath and too set in his nerdy ways to ever think about sex at all. Which is a shame because the prisoner serving a sentence for murderer that he’s just interviewed is smart, intriguing, and hot as hell. Guillaume Guilbaud is approaching forty and has wasted his best years rotting in a prison cell. The only interesting thing that has happened to him since his best friend Reuben was released is taking part in a series of interviews with a disarming and charismatic civil servant named Marcel. As if that friendship could ever materialize into anything, especially as he feels so ill-prepared for his imminent life on the outside. But after a chance meeting at Rossingley, Guillaume finds himself renting Marcel’s annex and desperately falling for his sweet, chronically ill landlord. Which is crazy, because Marcel is celibate, posh, clever, and fundamentally out of Guillaume’s league. Furthermore, Marcel also has far too many interfering friends and concerned relatives determined to ensure he doesn’t become any more attached to the mysterious ex-con he’s shyly let into his life. To Take A Quiet Breath is a slow-burn romance because Marcel is too breathless for a romance at any other speed. It’s about two men finding that love can quietly creep up on you no matter how many obstacles are thrown in its path and discovering that as long as an inhaler is readily at hand, anyone can swing from the chandeliers.

Summary: An age-gap, cross-culture M/M romance novella. Reggie Galant was a successful businessman: he ran a gay porn site called At Your Service, and it served him very well indeed. It supported his vocation as a painter, it bought his flat in London, and for a long time that was enough. Ro Gallo wasn’t getting anywhere in L.A. It was his home city, but it didn’t feel like home: nothing there was his. One of his jobs paid the rent, the other one paid for his health insurance, and between them there was just enough left over to live. They met by what might have been chance, at a party hosted by a mutual acquaintance. Two days later, Reggie asked Ro to visit him in London. Ro said he would. They’d never been on a date, never touched beyond a handshake, never kissed. Maybe both of them were crazy. On the other hand, maybe neither of them were.
