HEAVEN
Desperate to save his family’s hotel, Tyler sinks his hopes and what’s left of his money into a new venture: a nightclub at the hotel. Everything rides on The White Room’s success—without it the hotel will go under. Tyler’s nervous, but Lady Luck smiles on him, in the form of mega-popular rock band Heaven Sent signing on to play at the club.
   Tyler’s a huge fan of the group, but even so, he’s not prepared at all to come face-to-face with the painfully gorgeous lead-singer, Johnnie Heaven. But, the bomb that goes off in his brain can’t be lust. Sure, Johnnie’s probably the most beautiful person he’s ever seen, but Tyler is straight. It has to be a misguided form of hero worship that he’s feeling—has to.
    When Johnnie learns that Tyler shares his obsession with video games, he invites Tyler to his room to play. Of course, Tyler jumps at the chance. Who wouldn’t snap up the opportunity to spend time with his idol? He and Johnnie have a great time together, but Tyler soon discovers that Johnnie aims to introduce Tyler to a whole new level of game play.

PURGATORY
Tall and sleek with gorgeous red hair and deep, dark eyes to drown in, it’s no wonder that famous bass player, Lucas Sloane, stars in so many dewy-eyed teenager’s dreams.
   Reese used to be one of those teens—back when Heaven Sent was the house band for the local club, Purgatory. Back then, it was easy to get to know Luc, even become friends with him. But he took it too far, worked up the courage to confess his love to Luc—only to be soundly rejected.
   Now, six years later, Luc’s back in town for a visit and more gorgeous than ever. Much to Rees’s surprise, Luc not only apologizes for the way he treated Reese, he also comes onto him! Seems Luc’s discovered the pleasure of being with a man and wants to know what it’s be like between the two of them.
   But Reese can’t. He just can’t. He lives the straight and narrow. He teaches high school math. He’s got a girlfriend. A normal life. He can’t be gay. Of course, it’s really very hard to deny the man who defines beautiful to Reese’s artistic mind.
