Blurb:

 

A straight firefighter discovers an irresistible attraction for his best friend’s younger brother—one that could lead to complete disaster.

A perpetual bachelor, firefighter lieutenant Hollywood Wright hops from one woman’s bed to another, searching for something he never finds. Has his father’s emotional and physical abuse somehow damaged him? Or is something else going on, something that involves the intense and uncomfortable feelings aroused by his best friend’s little brother?

Sexy-as-sin paramedic Chad Caldwell has always been out and proud. Sure, some gay-bashers are harassing him, but he’s determined to be true to himself. There’s just one problem: He’s hung up on Hollywood, his older brother’s straight best friend. When Hollywood’s apartment is damaged by fire, Chad reluctantly takes him in. Will Chad’s heart survive such close proximity to a man who’s both unattainable and everything Chad wants?

To their mutual surprise, Hollywood finds Chad and his world fascinating—and much hotter than anything he’s ever experienced. But with a rabidly homophobic father, is Hollywood doomed to die in the closet? Chad won’t accept anything less than a public relationship, no matter how amazing the sex is. Can Hollywood ever accept the man he’s always kept buried deep inside?

Excerpt:

Hands gripping his head, Hollywood paced back and forth between Chad and the neighboring building, like a caged lion. “I’m confused. It’s your fault. You and your tight ass. Your tattoos. And don’t get me started on your little twink boyfriend.”

“My boyfriend?” There was no way Chad could follow Hollywood’s leaps of logic.

“Fucking cowboy told me about it. You slept with Blondie. It was that same night with Candy, wasn’t it?”

Chad clenched his jaw. “Sandy.”

“Who the fuck cares?” Hollywood shouted.

“Why are you so upset?” Chad asked. “You’re straight.”

“I don’t know what the fuck I am. You’ve got me watching gay porn. Fantasizing about—” Hollywood gritted his teeth together and rubbed his face with both hands. The sound of his stubble scraping against his palms had Chad’s heartrate shooting up. Even when he was a mess, Hollywood was hot.

“What do you fantasize about?” Chad couldn’t help asking any more than he could help the rasp in his voice.

Hollywood stopped his pacing, hesitated, then advanced on Chad. Each step slow and deliberate. Chad sucked a breath into suddenly deflated lungs. Oh God. He was so fucking turned on. And what kind of slut did that make him? He didn’t know if Hollywood was going to kiss him or beat the shit out of him. All he knew was that he needed to find out.

With rough movements, Hollywood gripped the sides of Chad’s head. “I can’t think of anything except kissing you. Your lips, are they soft or hard? How would your stubble feel against my skin? What do you taste like? It’s driving me crazy.” He stared into Chad’s eyes. “You are driving me crazy.”

On The Outside By Louise Lyons

Author Name: Louise Lyons

Book Name: On The Outside

Release Date: April 30, 2016

Blurb:

When Craig Ferguson is released from prison after a year’s sentence for fighting, he returns home to his father and brother, and the family business. Throwing himself back into the life he left, with family, work, and women, Craig tries to forget his time on the inside, but there’s one thing he just can’t get out of his mind.

Cell mate, Rocky Kirk, still has six months of his sentence to go, and after a year together in a tiny cell, Craig misses him more than he cares to admit. He does his best to forget, but when Rocky is released, and arrives on Craig’s doorstep, homeless and hurt, everything that happened between them comes flooding back.

Craig’s family takes in Rocky, now known as Kirk, and gives him a home and a job, but he’s reluctant to join in with their partying, and never seems entirely comfortable in their home. A few months later Kirk announces he has to leave, and when Craig presses him for an explanation, Kirk blurts out that his unwanted feelings for his friend are hurting him too much to stay. His admission changes everything, but Craig’s uncertainty, and fears of his father discovering their secret, threatens to ruin anything that could develop between them.

Transformation By Dusk Peterson

Author Name: Dusk Peterson

Book Name: Transformation

Series: The Eternal Dungeon

Book: Two

Can be read as a standalone

Release Date: March 28, 2016 (Reissue of the story)

Blurb:

“Every psychologist of our day knows the origin of transformation therapy, though many prefer not to speak of it. It is considered embarrassing to be forced to admit that your primary tool for curing patients was developed by a group of torturers.”

The Eternal Dungeon, a royal prison where criminals are transformed, has lost its leadership. The duty of returning the dungeon to normal falls on two Seekers (torturers) who are already burdened with their own problems. One Seeker is struggling to understand why an old love affair continues to gnaw at him. The other Seeker is faced with his greatest challenge: whether to risk the man who is most precious to him in order to save his own abuser.

A winner of the 2011 Rainbow Awards (within the “Eternal Dungeon” omnibus), this tale of love and adventure can be read on its own or as the second volume in The Eternal Dungeon, a speculative fiction series set in a nineteenth-century prison where the psychologists wield whips.

The Eternal Dungeon series is part of Turn-of-the-Century Toughs, a cycle of alternate history series (Young Toughs, Waterman, Life Prison, Commando, Michael’s House, The Eternal Dungeon, and Dark Light) about adults and youths on the margins of society, and the people who love them. Set in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, the novels and stories take place in an alternative version of America that was settled by inhabitants of the Old World in ancient times. As a result, the New World retains certain classical and medieval customs.

Ringed Love By Elizabeth Noble

Six books, five years, two men: Ringed Love and endings are hard.

I’m honored and very grateful to be here on Will Parkinson’s blog today, thank you! Will has been one of the biggest and most vocal supporters of my Sentries series.

Writing a true series such as Sentries is hard. There are all these subplots and threads to keep up with along with the main story arc.

Ending such a series is even more difficult. Because this series revolved around two main characters, Todd and Nick Ruger my emotional investment in them is huge, however, all good things come to an end. We’ve all watched a series that should have ended with the previous season or a book series that went two installments too long. I certainly didn’t want that happening with my guys.

From the very beginning Sentries was meant to be a complete story with specific events tying all the books together. All of the first five books follow a simple format. Todd and Nick are presented with a problem, a case to solve and someone to save.

Ringed Love is different.

In Ringed Love we see the guys in a variety of situations and at different times of their lives. Ringed Love takes a number of ‘slice of life’ scenarios and tells the rest of the story of the Rugers. In Ringed Love we see Todd and Nick in good times and bad. They do what they’ve always done, protect others and fight the bad guys. Through it all they work hard to keep their love alive and their union strong because as they’re always reminding each other (and us) they’re in this together and that’s the way it was always meant to be.

Does that mean we won’t see any more of Todd and Nick or the Sentries? I’ll admit that after all this time it’s hard to let go of these men and if they have another story to tell I’ll be flattered if they let me tell it.

Blurb:

New Colorado Protectorate fell with the assassination of Chancellor Clarke. Like many others, Todd and Nick Ruger left the land of their birth and made a home to the north in Yellowknife. Their world was ever changing. The time came to say a sad farewell to some of their friends and loved ones, but they were taken in with open arms by others and in turn offered shelter to yet more. Through the years they remained steadfast in their duty as sentries to protect and defend those that needed it the most.

Time marches on but through it all they hold each other dear and cherish the love they’ve shared. There are still angry ghosts, Windigos and water spirits to contend with. Their lives change, offering them new roles. When the time comes, they do what sentries have done for generations prior and teach others the skills to carry on as sentries. The Rugers lives were rich and their hearts full with their devotion and love for each other. The tradition of the sentries lived on forever. It was the legacy of Todd and Nick Ruger. That was the way it was always meant to be.

Excerpt:

The kid slipped by Todd and sat in the chair he just vacated. “You’re Todd Ruger.” He gazed up at Todd. His expression was what Nick could only describe as awestruck.

Todd stared down at the guy, and Nick snickered and teased, “Aww, that’s so sweet.”

The woman moved through the bar to the other side. The tables there had more people sitting around them. Men turned to watch her as she moved by.

“You’re hunting her,” the kid announced. He then looked directly at Nick. “And you’re Nick Ruger.”

“Don’t—” Nick waved his hands for the kid to be quiet.

Todd interrupted, “I don’t know who you are, but shut it. And get out of my chair.” He thunked the glasses down on the table. “How do you know? Keep your voice down.” Turning so his back was to the woman, he asked Nick, “What is she doing?” Bending down, he took hold of the straps to the backpack.

Nick grabbed the side of the table and pulled himself out of the chair, then dodged around Todd and Drew. “Getting away.”

He heard Todd order, “Stay there.”

Nick was reaching for the door when he felt Todd’s hand on his shoulder. Todd hauled Nick back and sprinted ahead of him as they ran outside. They each turned around, looking in different directions. Nick tapped Todd’s arm and pointed. “There.”

Todd slung the backpack over one shoulder and darted after the woman. If she realized they were following her, she never let on. Then again, Nick thought, maybe that was part of her trap. She turned a corner and slipped onto a deserted side street, her long dress fluttering in her wake. The kid appeared at the other end of the street.

“Hey, miss, wait a minute,” Drew said breathlessly. He ran right up to her. Leaning around her and at the same time grinning at Todd, he said, “I can help.” He held both hands out to the woman.

She laughed and slid into his outstretched arms.

“No! Don’t touch her,” Todd and Nick shouted together.

 

Bio:

Elizabeth Noble started telling stories before she actually knew how to write, and her family was very happy when she learned to put words on a page. Those words turned into fan fiction that turned into a genuine love of M/M romance fiction. Being able to share her works with Dreamspinner is really a dream come true. She has a real love for a good mystery complete with murder and twisty plots as well as all things sci-fi, futuristic, and supernatural and a bit of an unnatural interest in a super-volcano in Wyoming.

Elizabeth has three grown children and is now happily owned by an adorable mixed breed canine princess and one tabby cat. She lives in her native northeast Ohio, the perfect place for gardening, winter and summer sports (go Tribe!). When she’s not writing she’s working as a veterinary nurse, so don’t be surprised to see her men with a pet or three who are a very big part of their lives.

Elizabeth received several amateur writing awards. Since being published two of her novels have received honorable mentions in the Rainbow Awards. Her novel Jewel Cave was a runner up in the 2015 Rainbow awards in the Gay Mystery/Thriller category.

When his father, King Harold, forces Prince Gerome to mate a complete stranger in order to save his unborn child, he complies with a heavy heart and says goodbye to all his dreams of finding love.
