They weren’t looking for love, but love had other ideas. This steamy, heart-tugging collection of standalone MM romances follows three men thrown into fatherhood under wildly different circumstances. Each one discovers that the only thing more unexpected than becoming a dad… is falling hard for the man who makes their world feel whole. A heartbroken father raising his daughter alone is drawn to the hot doctor next door. A rugged firefighter meets a shy, beautiful man who doesn’t believe he’s worthy of love. And a by-the-book cop can’t stay away from the ex-con with a mysterious past—and a daughter who needs protection. Love isn’t always neat. Parenthood never is. But when passion ignites and hearts get tangled, these single dads just might find everything they never knew they needed—in the arms of a man who sees it all.Zum Buch
The themes that thread through these nine accomplished stories are drawn from the great tradition of the twentieth-century weird tale, and they are suffused with a distinctly cosmopolitan, European feel. Mark Samuels writes about the fundamental fears of modern life, especially the effects of isolation and the dislocation that city dwellers can experience in their inhospitable, man-made environment. Vrolyck: I had been living in a cramped apartment out in the suburbs to the south of the city. The apartment overlooked a dingy street, invariably strewn with rubbish due to its preponderance of fast food outlets. Amongst these shabby establishments was a café which remained open for twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week.Zum Buch

Short stories have always been a sort of instant access into an author’s brain, their soul and heart. A few pages can lift our lives into locations, people and experiences with a sweep of landscape, narration, feelings and emotions that is difficult to achieve elsewhere. In this series we try to offer up tried and trusted ‘Top Tens’ across many different themes and authors. But any anthology will immediately throw up the questions – Why that story? Why that author? The theme itself will form the boundaries for our stories which range from well-known classics, newly told, to stories that modern times have overlooked but perfectly exemplify the theme. Throughout the volume our authors whether of instant recognition or new to you are all leviathans of literature. Some you may disagree with but they will get you thinking; about our choices and about those you would have made. If this volume takes you on a path to discover more of these miniature masterpieces then we have all gained something. A decade of catastrophic worldwide war. Empires in tectonic collision, a society heaving under the yoke, tired of sacrifice, ready for revolution. In literature ideas were explored and detailed revealing a world and people that seem so long ago but also very near. 1 - The Top 10 - The 1910's - The Men - An Introduction 2 - The Dead - Part 1 by James Joyce 3 - The Dead - Part 2 by James Joyce 4 - In the Penal Colony by Franz Kafka 5 - The Interlopers by Saki the pseudonym for H H Munro 6 - Odour of Chrysanthemums by D H Lawrence 7 - The Revolutionist by Mikhail Petrovich Artzybashev 8 - Casting the Runes by M R James 9 - Carnacki, The Ghost Finder - No 1 - The Gateway of the Monster by William Hope Hodgson 10 - Hands by Sherwood Anderson 11 - The Matador of the Five Towns by Arnold Bennett 12 - August Heat by W F HarveyZum Buch
