I’m doing a little dreamspinner plugging in this one, it seems
Matt Dixon, a
young firefighter, is the golden child of his family, and he never dreamed that
coming out would challenge more than the way his church sees him.
For years, Matt has led a double life hoping
to avoid ridicule. When a self-righteous pastor’s statements provoke him to defend
his recently deceased best friend’s honor and subsequently out himself, he
suffers the brutal aftermath of his revelation. Everyone in his life, including
his family and his new lover, Darian, must deal with the ramifications as Matt
struggles to come to terms with guilt, shame, and his very belief in God.
Darian Weston lost his fiancé when Jamie took
his life, and his feelings for Matt added guilt to his burden of grief.
Confused and lonely, Darian clings to Matt despite his inner strife. But small-town
realities keep intruding, and if Matt and Darian hope to make a life together,
they must first take a stand for what they believe in, even if they fear the
cost.

Even after a
decade, the life that journalist Brent Walsh and Milwaukee homicide detective
Shawn Mackey have made together is far from boring. But when a new case cuts a
weekend getaway short, they aren’t quite prepared for how it will impact their
personal lives. Suddenly there’s too much to juggle: Shawn will be working the
case of the sharpshooter who is trying to infect random people with HIV, Brent
needs to cover the story but fears a conflict of interest, one of Shawn’s
colleagues is attracted to him, and Brent sincerely needs to mend the painful
break with his childhood best friend, Ollie, and heal their broken hearts.
Though the case comes to a close, it’s not the
end of their troubles. Shawn and Brent still face a past of old white lies, a
present possibility of inviting another man to their bed, and a future with
children, not to mention health issues and national fallout from the case. It’s
enough to make them want to run away—until they realize they have to face those
challenges head-on so they can get on with the life of love they’re hoping for.

When
small-time thief Timmy Harwell recklessly “borrows” a Cadillac for a joyride,
he doesn’t expect to find a cool $100,000 in the trunk. His elation turns to
terror when he realizes the SUV and the dough belong to Miguel Garcia, aka El
Poco, a Tijuana drug dealer with a nasty reputation. Timmy sees only one way
out: leave the stolen car behind and run as fast as he can.
His getaway is cut short when a storm strands
him outside Jasper Stone’s secluded mountain cabin. Jasper finds Timmy in his
shed, unconscious and burning up with fever, and takes care of the younger man,
nursing him back to health. The two begin to grow close, but Jasper, a writer
who seeks only solitude, is everything Timmy isn’t. Straightforward, honest,
and kind.
Timmy needs Jasper’s help—and wants his
respect—so he hides his dishonest habits. But when El Poco comes after him,
Timmy realizes he’s not the only one at risk. His actions have also put Jasper
in harm’s way. Honesty now could mean Timmy loses the man he’s come to love,
but not being honest could mean far worse.

August Adahy
Mendez would rather be buried in the world of his detective novels or a good
film noir movie than in real life. He’s overweight, undermotivated, and stuck
in a dead-end job. As a Chincha, he’s part of a long line of chinchilla
shifters, but the greatest accomplishment in his life so far has been moving an
hour away from his close-knit herd. That all changes when August’s grandfather
leaves him enough cash to pursue his dream: becoming a detective himself.
Sam Ewing is a bitter divorcé who enjoys
watching football and being alone. It’s easier when his only interaction with
people is when he collects rent from his office building tenants. Then August
rents space from him to set up his new detective agency, and Sam is drawn to
him despite his misgivings.
Sam soon finds himself involved with one of
August’s cases, and the men join forces to catch their criminal. The greater
challenges they face, however, are how August makes Sam want to give love a
second try and how Sam makes August believe that real life might be even better
than fiction.
