    <![CDATA[Dean Chapman has a thing for April Reid, the girl next door. The girl next door's brother, Jay, has a thing for Dean. Dean doesn't know that while he's been making puppy dog eyes at April, Jay's been feeling the same for him.<br/><br/>When Jay's feelings come out, Dean reacts the way he always does: on impulse, without thinking. He's straight for crying out loud. Jay's a good friend, but he's not interested in him like that.<br/><br/>Having his sexuality called into question shines a harsh light on the rest of Dean's life. Since when is he an arrogant, egomaniac, control freak, or any of the other much less nice things April has taken to calling him in defense of Jay? Can he change? Does he want to? Does he even need to?<br/><br/>Or does he just need to make the right choice?<br/><br/>It's winter and the snow is falling, and if Dean can't come to terms with how he feels about the boy next door, he might just spend the rest of his life out in the cold.<br/><br/>Publisher's Note: Snow Angel is a male/male love story. As such, it contains homoerotic sexual content that may be offensive to some readers: mild bondage, forced seduction, male/male sexual practices. <br/><br/><em>Angel Heart</em> is the sequel to this one.]]>

    <![CDATA[The sequel to <em>Snow Angel</em><br/><br/>Last year, Dean Chapman fell hard…for another man. His childhood friend, Jay Reid, has a kind, loving soul; there's a reason Dean calls him &quot;Angel&quot;. Now Dean's painfully aware that he holds an angel's heart in the palm of his hand.<br/><br/>Since they've moved in together, most of their friends and family have been supportive, but the one person who knows just how to wind him up, drop him down and step all over him is the one woman who should be on their side: Jay's sister, April. And she's waiting for him to fail…big time.<br/><br/>Dean's determined to prove her wrong but only time can do that and he's not the most patient of men. Even worse, sometimes he fears that despite his resolve, he'll lose the only person who has ever made his heart race. Jay should have someone who can love him completely, and give him everything both emotionally and physically that he needs. If Dean wants to keep him, he has to give himself up to a gay relationship completely and that includes his heart, as well as his more intimate parts. <br/><br/>Publisher's Note: This book contains explicit sexual content, graphic language, and situations that some readers may find objectionable: Male/male sexual situations. ]]>

    <![CDATA[<br/>Markis Shavar, the Swithin Prince, controls the power of the Comet. His power may be the only thing that can stop a war between two vast monarchies. A war that could devastate the world. If that weren’t pressure enough, he may also have to rescue a princess and face a marriage of convenience. And it sure as hell doesn’t help that Markis can barely control the power when he calls it forth. Traditional methods – including celibacy, aren’t working and he is running out of time. <br/><br/>His personal guard and best friend, Ryanac, insists that Markis should embrace love, both emotionally and physically, to control the Comet. He’d really like for Markis to embrace him. It’s entirely possibly Ryanac is correct…but if he’s wrong, it could destroy them. <br/><br/>When Markis leaves the palace one night to indulge in the luxury of a little solitude, he captures Uly, a would-be thief. Out of boredom, he decides to play a little game with the street rat, but Uly has other ideas. He plans to teach the prince a lesson in desire … and love.<br/><br/>If a street thief can teach a prince to gain control by losing it, love may truly conquer all.<br/><br/>]]>

    <![CDATA[Alex Beaumont came to the quiet little seaside resort of Padstow to get away from it all, to bury himself in work. To forget that every man he ever falls for eventually needs to get away… from him. But the odd little glances he’s attracting from a beautiful man in white have him rethinking. And rethinking. And rethinking. Like a shooting star, he’s about to fall… long and hard, but the question is this time whether he’ll crash and burn or find the love he’s always dreamed of when looking at the night sky. <br/><br/>Adrift in the universe, a wanderer searches for a place to call home. The planet he finds is cold and inhospitable, not at all what he was expecting. He feels lost and alone, until a stranger’s smile warms him. And with that smile comes another kind of heat, one he’s never before experienced. But this lovely human seems conflicted. How can Mani convince Alex that he wants him, when these feelings are all new, and he’s so inexperienced in matters of love?<br/><br/>Publisher’s Note: This book contains explicit sexual content, graphic language, and situations that some readers may find objectionable: homoerotic sex practices (m/m).]]>

    <![CDATA[ 	<br/>Sharon Maria Bidwell’s Cosmic<br/>Genre: LGBT Futuristic Science Fiction Menage<br/>Length: Novel Plus<br/><br/>The last thing the crew of the Sovereignty expects -- or needs -- is an additional crewmember. But when an unknown assailant attacks, Axel has no choice but beam the stranger on board the spacecraft. Then it really gets interesting.<br/><br/>Already in a sexual relationship with &quot;Snake&quot; who is a rare species of alien, Axel doesn't want another lover to complicate his already challenging existence. The trouble is, he can't deny his growing attraction for the newcomer, who happens to be a very striking and intelligent woman. She's so intelligent she's already worked out that Snake is an alien and that the two men are lovers, even if it's the farthest thing from domestic bliss.<br/><br/>Still, Axel isn't the only one who wants Sela. Snake's drawn to her too, and Sela doesn't seem to mind the idea that Axel and Snake are lovers, especially after she sees them together...<br/><br/>Of course, in the meantime they've got to fight a corrupt government and deal with a zealot of a leader, but if the three can put their differences and natural inclination to distrust aside, they might just find peace...with each other. Sometimes giving in isn't giving up. Sometimes it's Cosmic.<br/>]]>

    <![CDATA[Tressa, the Swithin Queen, doesn't always manage to act as a lady should. Her marriage is one of duty, though not without love. Even so, Markis, her husband, is happy for her to try a softer, feminine touch, if it means that Tressa finally finds true love.<br/><br/>Meira is half Swithin and even though she's a great healer, some look upon her heritage with suspicion. Still, she's stronger than that; what others think of her has never mattered...so why is it suddenly important to her that Tressa looks at her with love? Why does she want to protect Tressa even if it means possibly failing to do the right thing?<br/><br/>Will the nation be able to stand up to the two women? Even more importantly, how will Tressa and Meira manage their dominant natures between the sheets?<br/><br/>Publisher's Note: This book contains explicit sexual content, graphic language, and situations that some readers may find objectionable: Anal play, exhibitionism, fisting, homoerotic sexual practices (f/f), voyeurism.<br/>]]>
