company, is due for a promotion. His ambitions for advancement are jeopardized
when he learns his next big contract will be handled by none other than
Alexander Cory, his ex-lover from college. Seeing Alex again opens the old

Heart of
Glass By L. J. Harris
Days after arriving in Australia for a working holiday, Zack Doherty is
blindsided by the connection he instantly feels to Heath Connors, but
circumstances don’t work in their favour.
Zack is uncharacteristically forward in pushing Heath to accept a date
when fate gives him a second opportunity.
Heath has only recently had the courage to admit his true self, walking
away from his marriage and a good job when he could no longer lie to himself.
The attraction he feels for a stranger that fleetingly crossed his path confirms
he made the right choice.
Will Zack be the one to mend Heath’s heart of glass?
Better Together By DaNay Smith
Greyson Welles moved to Baltimore so that his long-time partner,
Dominic Nash, could fulfill his dream of an internship at John Hopkins
Hospital. It’s been four years though, and Greyson is becoming increasingly
unhappy. He never gets to see Dominic and his own promising art career is on
hold, instead he paints family portraits for a living.
Dominic can see that Greyson is unhappy with the long hours he
puts in, but when his solution is to propose to the love of his life, he is
surprised that not only does Greyson turn him down but leaves to pursue his own
career dreams in New York.
Five years later Greyson can only think of one man able to sooth
his wounded pride when there’s a less than stellar response to his latest
collection—what will he do?
Dirty Martini By Bette Browne
Daniel Fletcher knocks back his third vodka of the night after
running into his ex out with the same lover he had found him with in their bed
two months before. He’d ended their relationship that night but coming face to
face with them still together makes the pain of the breakup still very real.
Nathan Smith has seen more men than he can count drowning their
sorrows in a bottle at his bar. He understands—he’s been there himself. One
night a handsome brunette with sad blue eyes makes Nate want to assure him that
everything will be okay. The connection he feels from a fleeting touch, as he
walks the man out of the bar, shakes and stirs him in ways that he never
expected.
What starts out as a means to forget might just be what they
both need.
Notice to
Appear By C. C. Lorenz
Josh Campbell has had the date from hell—the food was mediocre,
as was the company, and to top it all off, he finds himself in strife with the
law. When he thought the situation couldn’t get any worse, he comes face to
face in the courtroom with his schoolboy crush, Carter Sullivan. Now, not only
has he got to pay a hefty fine, he has been humiliated in front of the one man
he’s never forgotten.
Could the date from hell suddenly turn into the start of
something new with Carter, now that their age difference is not the issue it
was back in high school?

DaNay Smith lives
in a small suburb in Michigan with her family. She began writing her stories
when she left grade school, eventually trying her hand at poetry as well. She
attended Roosevelt University, majoring in English, and concentrated in
creative writing. It was at university that her love for male/male novels was
born. The school’s history and values are deeply rooted in activism and the
fight for civil rights. She learned to see the similarities between the
struggles all minorities go through, especially the LGBT community where the
fight has just begun. She wanted to write books that were about gay men, not
just have them included as side characters or used as tokens like most types of
pop culture. DaNay spends most of her days working in data entry but uses her
free time to continue doing what she loves: writing.

L. J. Harris was
born in Sydney, Australia and now lives in the nation's capital with her
husband and twin teenage sons. She has only discovered her passion for writing
in the past three years. Shy by nature, she discovered that after her father
fell ill, writing down whatever she felt not only helped her deal with the
situation but express herself in a way she couldn't before.
Working part-time afforded her the opportunity
to explore her sudden drive to write, originally via fan fiction. With her
husband's encouragement, she penned a dream sequence around which her
novel-in-progress is built.
She loves building the sexual tension between
characters and developing interesting plots twists, as well as leaving readers
wanting more.

Bette Browne is
wife to an extremely understanding husband and mother to two very tolerant
children. In her mind they are the most accepting family in the world, allowing
her the freedom to indulge her passion for fiction, whether it is reading or
writing it.
She enjoys traditional male/female romances,
but male/male is her passion. In her mind nothing is more erotic than two (or
more) beautiful men finding love together.
For Bette, the fight for tolerance in all its
guises is an important one, and hopefully her contribution, even if it is only
in the form of the occasional love story, is one she will continue to happily
find the time for.

C. C. Lorenz grew
up in Southern California and currently resides in Los Angeles where she works
in the finance industry. Searching for a distraction from the daily stresses of
her job, she stumbled upon the world of male/male romance and fell in love with
the genre. Intrigued to explore the unique challenges of gay relationships, C.
C. put pen to paper (figuratively) for the first time since her college days
and began to write.
When not immersed in the world of M/M romance,
she enjoys spending time with her friends and family, drinking wine, and
driving her husband crazy by acting like a teenager.
