Jon Beatty thought he had the best man in his ex, Craig. But in the six months since their break up, Craig's managed to find a new lover—a woman—and wants Jon to be a different kind of best man…at his wedding.

Reasoning that the only way to get over one man is to get under another, Jon heads for a local club to get drunk and laid. Bartender Liam Sable is more than willing to help with both.

Their one night stand turns into a rebound fling which enables Jon to move on. Craig, however, is having second thoughts about the break-up. While inconvenient and annoying, Craig’s antics are nothing compared to the danger posed to Jon and Liam's relationship by another, more sinister threat...

Martin David, analyste financier avide, mais inexpérimenté, est le membre le plus récent de l’équipe d’investissement de Skeiron Capital Partners à Londres. Son patron est un génie financier, mais il est aussi arrogant et intense. Malgré son comportement erratique, Martin ne peut s’empêcher d’être attiré par lui tant professionnellement que personnellement.

Dommage que son patron ne semble pas ressentir de la même façon. Dans une entreprise où le pedigree et les connexions signifient bien plus que le diplôme d’affaires récemment acquis de Martin, ce dernier se sent désespérément inadéquat, du moins jusqu’à ce qu’il rencontre l’énigmatique gestionnaire d’investissement, Alec Berger, qui promet de l’aider à s’établir dans la communauté financière. Martin est si charmé par la sophistication et l’esprit d’Alec qu’il lui donne des données qui auraient dû rester confidentielles.

Ensuite, la crise financière frappe. Les banques brûlent, les entreprises se balancent au bord du précipice, et la survie de Skeiron est en jeu. Martin est poussé au milieu de la lutte pour Skeiron – à la fois contre l’économie sombrant et un ennemi impitoyable qui a quitté l’ombre pour collecter les dépouilles.

Stefano Marino est un homme accompli, un chef de la mafia de la côte ouest, heureux en mariage, qui voyage vers l’est pour attendre la mort du patriarche de la famille. Tous les anciens hommes de main se sont rassemblés – évidemment, les requins s’attroupent lorsqu’il y a du sang dans l’eau –, mais c’est un nouvel homme de main qui attire l’attention de Stefano.

Silvio « le Barracuda » Spadaro est le protégé et l’héritier du consigliere retraité Gianbattista Falchi, et un homme accompli lui aussi. Être gay est un crime capital dans la famille de la pègre, mais le tueur hypersexuel – et pansexuel – ne s’est jamais vraiment préoccupé des règles. Les seuls ordres qu’il suit sont ceux de Battista, que ce soit sur le champ de bataille ou sur ses genoux, se soumettant avidement à ses pieds.

Mais Silvio a des besoins que Battista ne peut pas combler, et il pose son regard noir sur Stefano. Un faux cambriolage, une attaque tout aussi fausse, et Silvio est exactement là où il veut être : à la merci de Stefano, attisant les pulsions du mafieux plus âgé que ce dernier a passé toute sa vie à réprimer. Stefano résiste, mais lorsque la mafia russe envahit son territoire et le force à chercher de l’aide, le prix de Gianbattista met à nouveau Stefano face à face avec Silvio – et ses désirs les plus sombres.

The hottest name in network news is Daniel Halstrom. He is a sensation, a rising star. He is also a slave, owned wholly and completely by NewWorld Media.

But before he was a star, he was a frightened child from a bad place with a promising, if limited, future ahead of him. In "The New Kid", young Daniel begins his schooling. Then, for a slave, the simple pleasure of a "Bathroom Break" is sometimes the only pleasure to be had. Later, Daniel doesn't know it, but "A Chance Encounter" might be the most important of his life. Next, in "Camera Obscura", one of Daniel's colleagues reflects on the fact that as much as the camera may show, it can hide even more. Finally, when you're a slave, "Independence Day" is just another day.

Hollywood is full of dirty secrets, but Carter refuses to be Levi's.

Retired action star Levi Pritchard has made a quiet life for himself in the sleepy logging town of Bluewater Bay, Washington. But then Hollywood comes to film the wildly popular television series Wolf's Landing, and Bluewater Bay isn't so sleepy anymore. His retirement doesn't stick, either, because he's offered a part on the show - exactly the kind of complex role he'd always wanted, one that would prove him more than a glorified stuntman. The only catch? He has to stay in the closet - no matter how attractive he finds his co-star.

Carter Samuels is the critically-acclaimed male lead on Wolf's Landing. And now, the man who inspired him to take up acting - and made him realize he's gay - is joining the cast, and sparks fly between them instantly. But Carter is out and proud and determined to stay true to himself.

Remaining just friends is the only thing to do, as both the studio and Levi's disapproving, dysfunctional family keep reminding them. Except their friendship deepens by the day, tempting them with what they can't have but both desperately need.

Owen may be a bit of a country mouse, but he's loving his vacation in London. After a long day playing tourist, he's on the hunt for some cheap beer and a good burger. Instead he finds a man hunting him, an arrogant prick with only one thing on the brain: the kind of meat that doesn't come on a bun.

Eighty-hour weeks at a trading desk don't leave Malcolm Kavanagh much time for meaningful relationships. Besides, in his world, everything's a competition-even sex. When his newest one-night-sub fails to show, Malcolm sets his sights on the pretty young Yank on the bar stool beside him.

Owen's all for an adventure with a native, but he's not the pushover Malcolm thinks he is, and Malcolm's not as shallow as he tries to be. They both soon learn that nothing's too intimate to share with a stranger, and the strangest things happen when two people share the most important pieces of their hearts.

The assassination Chris Gibson and John Soong are sent to carry out doesn't go quite as planned. They arrive at the location to find their target, Russian mob affiliate Andrei Voronin has already been shot and is barely clinging to life. Making a judgement call, John contacts his superiors who agree that Voronin may be more valuable to them alive than dead.

The new plan is for John and Chris to pose as Andrei's lovers until the amnesiac recovers his memory. Their task takes an unexpected turn when the agents bond with Andrei, clash with one another, and have to outwit the Russian mob who discover that Andrei is still alive

For the past six months, Jared’s been selling sex at Market Garden, a London club that caters to the better-off. But business is slow in the run-up to Christmas, when businessmen and bankers are too busy bickering over bonuses to rent themselves a little high-class action.

Though Jared’s wallet finds the downtime unnerving, the rest of him rather enjoys the opportunity it gives him to admire Tristan, an old hand in the club whose reputation usually sees him well-booked. Jared has been crushing on Tristan for months—he’s no more immune to Tristan’s cockiness and confidence than the johns, and those are just Tristan’s inner qualities.

Just as Jared’s about to chat Tristan up, a businessman asks for something a little different: he wants to book them both. They agree—and Jared finds himself going from crush to mind-bending lust as he’s made the pawn in a sexual power game. Tristan shows him how a pro handles a john while delivering the top-shelf sex for which the Market Garden is so rightly renowned.

You learn your wisest lessons from your enemies. Assuming, of course, you survive the encounter.

Kendras is a casualty of war: injured, penniless, and quite possibly the last surviving member of the only family he's ever known—the elite fighting force known as the Scorpions. When a steel-eyed stranger offers him medicine and shelter in exchange for submission and a secret task, Kendras has no choice but to accept. He is a Scorpion; he’ll do whatever it takes to survive.

But his true goal is to rebuild the Scorpions. Neither Steel’s possessive nature nor Kendras’s shattered foot can keep him from finding the last of his brothers... or the mysterious leader of the Scorpions, a man who held Kendras’s heart long before Steel tried to take it for himself. The goal is simple, the situation anything but. To rescue his leader and escape from Steel for good, Kendras must fight through a morass of politics and intrigue, where enemies are allies and even allies have hidden agendas.

Sergei Stolkov is a faithful officer, though his deepest desires go against the Doctrine. A captain with the invading Coalition forces, he believes that self-sacrifice is the most heroic act and his own needs are only valid if they serve the state.

Mike, an operative planted within Cirokko's rebels, has been ordered to seduce Sergei and pry from him the Coalition's military secrets. His mission is a success, but as he captures Sergei's heart, Mike is tempted by his own charade and falls in love.

When the hostile natives of the planet Cirokko make their move, all seems lost. Can Mike and Sergei survive when the Coalition's internal affairs division takes an interest in what happened in the dusty mountains of Zasidka Pass...?

When the local authorities ask Kyle Juenger to hunt a shape-shifting Glyrinny spy, he can't refuse. After all, he can use the reward to replace his paralyzed legs with cyberware, and maybe even to return to his home planet. Besides, he hates the morphs-those invasive, brain-eating monstrosities whose weapons cost him his legs.

Kyle's best lead is the Scorpion, a mercenary ship armed to the teeth. Grimm, the "Scorpion's" pilot and captain, fascinates Kyle. He's everything Kyle lost with his legs, and he's from the same home world. He's also of the warrior caste-half priest, half savior. But Grimm's been twisted by life as a merc, and Kyle's stuck undercover as a criminal on the run.

That doesn't stop Grimm from coming on to Kyle, or from insisting he's more than the sum of his past and his useless legs. But Kyle has other concerns-like tracking a dangerous morph who could be wearing anyone's face. And as if things weren't complicated enough, Kyle can't tell if Grimm is part of the solution . . . or part of the problem.

Not all that glitters is gold.

Nikolai Krasnorada leads the life of a corporate nomad. Working for a gold explorations company, he’s never put down roots, and he likes it that way. Roots can be dangerous, as everyone from his “man-hating” sister to his manipulative mother to his war-traumatized father has proven.

But when his CEO sends him to Toronto to strike a deal with LeBeau Mining, Nikolai meets Henri LeBeau, crown prince to the resources conglomerate and inveterate flirt. Sparks fly immediately, despite the business deal that threatens to go sour and Nikolai’s own reluctance to give Henri false hope about him being Mr. Right. He’s barely come to terms with his bisexuality, and getting involved with Henri would get messy.

When LeBeau Mining launches a hostile takeover bid, Nikolai and Henri find themselves on opposite sides of the negotiating table. But fortunately—or perhaps unfortunately—for Nikolai, Henri’s not nearly as interested in his company as he is in his heart.

Love soars.

Away from the pressures of the airfield, their bond deepens, and Baldur shows Felix the kind of brotherhood he’d only ever dreamed of before.

But there’s no escaping the war, and when they return, Baldur joins the fray again in the skies over Berlin. As the Allies close in on the airfield where Felix waits for his lover, Baldur must face the truth that he is no longer the only one in mortal danger.

Délivrance est une nouvelle historique gay d’Aleksandr Voinov, lauréat du EPIC Award et finaliste du Lambda Award.

Après la mort de trois policiers sous couverture enquêtant sur un cartel de la drogue dans un club de strip-tease à Seattle, l’inspecteur Mahir Hussain est chargé de finir le boulot. Il rejoint l’équipe de sécurité du club dans l’espoir de découvrir suffisamment de preuves pour mettre fin à son opération avant que les responsables ne trouvent une bonne raison de l’enterrer six pieds sous terre.

Afin de protéger les strip-teaseuses, seuls les hommes gays sont autorisés à travailler au club. Ridley, le chef de la sécurité, un homme froid et intimidant, sait exactement comment tester les nouveaux employés potentiels, y compris Mahir. À la seconde où ils se rencontrent, Mahir et Ridley se lancent dans une danse dangereuse faite de jeux sexuels et psychologiques. Mahir doit trouver des preuves avant que Ridley ne découvre qu’il est flic… et avant qu’ils ne se rapprochent trop pour se trahir l’un l’autre.

À mesure que le jeu se poursuit, Mahir s’enfonce plus profondément dans l’opération et découvre qu’elle est bien plus complexe qu’il n’y paraît à première vue… et la raison pour laquelle tous les flics qui sont arrivés jusque-là ont été réduit au silence d’une balle dans la tête.

Ils n’ont passé qu’une seule nuit ensemble - un intermède volé aux Jeux olympiques de 1936. Lorsque Mark Driscoll a défié Armin Truchsess von Kardenberg pour un duel amical d’escrime, ils n’ont pas été capable de résister à leur attirance mutuelle. Bien que venant de mondes différents – un fermier de l’Iowa et un aristocrate allemand –, ils ont été immédiatement attirés, et c’est une rencontre qu’aucun d’eux n’oubliera.

Maintenant, c’est 1944, et un accident d’avion en territoire hostile les réunis à nouveau, mais de part et d’autre d’une guerre apparemment sans fin. S’affronter comme adversaires est une chose. Comme ennemis, c’en est une autre. Et pour aggraver les choses, Mark est un prisonnier de guerre, détenu dans un château froid et isolé en Allemagne… dans un camp géré par Armin.

Ce ne sont pas les jeunes athlètes qu’ils étaient à l’époque. La guerre leur a pris beaucoup, leur donnant des cheveux gris prématurément, les laissant en état de choc et usés. La connexion qu’ils avaient à l’époque est toujours bien vivante, cependant, et à partir du moment où Mark arrive, ils croisent à nouveau le fer – avançant, reculant, testant les défenses.

Leur a-t-on donné une seconde chance ? Ou le temps et une guerre brutale les ont-ils brisés tous les deux de manière irréparable ?

SS Lieutenant Hagen Friedrichs is the sole survivor of a party sent to retrieve his brother—and the highly sensitive information he’s carrying—from behind enemy lines. But his daring rescue attempt fails, and Hagen becomes the prisoner.

Allied command has ordered Captain John Nicholls to extract critical intelligence from their new Nazi POW. His secrets could turn the tide of the war, but are they real? John is determined to find out . . . and to shatter the prisoner who killed his lover during the attack on their tiny base. The deeper he digs, though, the more he realizes that the soldier under the SS uniform is just like him: a scared, exhausted young man who’s lost loved ones and just wants to go home.

As captor and captive form an unexpected bond, the lines quickly blur between enemy, friend, and lover. And as horrifying rumors spread from the front lines and American soldiers turn their sights on the SS for vengeance, John may be Hagen’s only hope for survival.

In Nazi-occupied Paris, most Frenchmen tread warily, but gay nightclub singer Yves Lacroix puts himself in the spotlight with every performance. As a veteran of France’s doomed defense, a survivor of a prison camp, and a “degenerate,” he knows he’s a target. His comic stage persona disguises a shamed, angry heart and gut-wrenching fear for a sister embedded in the Resistance.

Yet Yves ascends the hierarchy of Parisian nightlife to become a star, attracting the attention—and the protection—of the Nazi Oberst Heinrich von Starck. To complicate matters further, young foot soldier Falk Harfner’s naïve adoration of Yves threatens everything he’s worked for. So does Aryan ideologue von Grimmstein, rival to von Starck, who sees something “a bit like a Jew” in Yves.

When an ill-chosen quip can mean torture at the hands of the Gestapo, being the acclaimed Nightingale of Paris might cost Yves his music and his life.

For a boxer ravaged by guilt and in deep denial of his desires, a fight beyond the ring might yield his greatest prize. In a dystopian UK devastated by austerity and ruled by corporate interests, Brooklyn Marshall was a happily married London police officer—until an accident resulted in the death of a protester connected to a powerful family. Now he takes out his anger and pain on his opponents, fighting for the company that took him into stewardship after his conviction and disgrace—and which all but owns him. Wealthy barrister Nathaniel Bishop fulfills his dream of a family when he adopts a daughter. He can’t resist researching her allegedly violent criminal father, but Brook isn’t at all what he expects. He’s fascinating… and maybe worthy of redemption. Through legal sleight of hand, Nathaniel thinks he can overturn Brook’s conviction. Brook has learned the hard way not to trust anyone, let alone a privileged man who’s purchased his “time.” But as they get to know each other, he allows himself to hope. With his fights getting deadlier, hope might be the only thing to carry Brook through.

Some passions can set a city aflame.
