The Element Case

Edward Kendrick

Summary

Clay Richardson is a well-known artist who owns his own gallery.


Quint Hawk, a police detective, makes contact with Clay when he sees a portrait Clay has painted in the window of the gallery -- a portrait of a homeless young man who was murdered just days before. Unfortunately, Clay has no idea who the subject was.


Several months later, Quint contacts Clay to again ask about one of Clay's paintings. The subject has been murdered, as has a third man in another of his paintings.


The reclusive artist and the handsome detective are drawn to each other as they try to determine what is happening and why. They come up with a plan to catch the killer -- a plan that could end up in their deaths before they can decide if there is more to their feelings than a couple of very good nights in Clay's bed.

I might be in trouble. 
QUINTON

He is the one who insists we spend time together. That’s got to mean he likes me, doesn’t it? Why can’t I figure this out? 
And, how is he going to feel when he learns how much trouble comes with being with me? The only thing I can hope is that we can figure out a way to be together. But could we do it without me getting my heart broken again?

Daddy Issues

Kim Davis

Jason Townsend has issues with the older men in his life. His current boyfriend Jared is also his boss and, while the two get along wonderfully in the bedroom, their relationship at the office is tense and uncomfortable. Jason's relationship with his father is also strained -- they grew apart when Jason came out shortly after his parents divorced.
The only person Jason has ever been able to rely on is his mother. So when she announces she's met Mr. Right, Jason is skeptical. When he meets her new boyfriend, handsome professor Paul Everett, he quickly realizes he and Paul have more in common than their connection to his mother. The two men had slept together the previous summer.
Paul refuses to break things off with Jill, claiming he enjoys being with women and telling Jason their hook-up was a one-time thing that didn't mean much to him. Unwilling to tell his mother about his past with Paul, Jason stews in silence as he watches his mother and Paul grow closer. At the same time, he finds himself becoming more and more attracted to Paul. When he can't stand it any longer, Jason makes a pass at his mother's boyfriend and is surprised his affections aren't spurned.
Even though Jason finds himself falling in love with Paul, he knows he's betraying his mother and he hates himself for it. She's always been his staunchest ally, and sleeping with her boyfriend abuses the trust between them. Can Jason love a man who's also deceiving his mother? When he's forced to choose between Paul and his mother, the decision isn't as easy as it seems.
