  The sudden appearance of superpowers might transform most mild-mannered men into egomaniacs with visions of grandeur. Fortunately, Vic Braunson isn't most men. His powers come from his lover, Matt diLorenzo, and Vic refuses to let the abilities control or change him.
  
  
  But even he can't stop the powers from enhancing who he is.
  
  The V in Valor is the first in a series of five stories exploring different aspects of Vic's personality that are brought out by his superpowers. When one of the landlady's cats gets loose, Matt broaches the subject of getting a pet with his lover. Vic doesn't want the added responsibility, but the discussion raises questions of long-term commitment that neither man is ready to address just yet.

  Leon Jensen, a poetry enthusiast, is dealing with the pain of knowing his childhood friend Jayden will never love him back. Still, their friendship was a source of comfort for Leon until, a little over a year ago, Jayden started acting weird and they fell out. Leon's chances of regaining their friendship are slim to none, seeing as Jayden is a linebacker on the football team and his popularity has only increased since he stopped hanging out with Leon.
  While missing Jayden, Leon finds support from a new friend from a different school and his parents. He still sees Jayden every day, so it's difficult for him to deal with the heartbreak. Because even a creative artist can only endure so much pain and appreciate the source of inspiration it provides. 
  As they approach the end of their final school year, Jayden starts to suspect Leon is romantically involved with someone, and his strange behavior intensifies. Leon becomes caught up in the whirlwind of Jayden's emotions because, as it turns out, Jayden has a secret, too. Can Leon calm his former best friend down and discover the reason for Jayden's odd behavior?

  All quiet and friendless high school student Drey White wants is to create a formula that will give him the confidence to talk to a guy. With the encouragement of Artemas Ward, his favorite teacher, Drey thinks he's succeeded.
  The opportunity to test it arrives when he's invited by the cool kids to their party. After mixing the powder with his beer, he barely has time for a sip before another teen grabs the bottle and drinks. Drey is unsure if the potion will work, but then he's kissed by the guy. Pleased, Drey retrieves the bottle and drinks the remainder himself, only to find it gives him a case of the giggles. 
  Now an adult, the effects of Love Potion #9 still reverberate through Drey's life. Will things ever return to normal? And what will Artemas, now his friend -- and hopefully more -- think when he discovers what Drey has created?

  Rick's first words as he pulls Henry feet-first out of the rubble were an expression of such gentle concern that they melt Henry's heart. But then Rick turns him over and realizes he's a guy.
  
  
  The two are alone in the deserted underground passages of the downtown core, the city above in ruins due to a nuclear near miss that destroyed the power grid and fried all electronic equipment. Yet all Henry can think about is his burning desire to hear that tone in Rick's voice again.
  
  
  He knew that isn't likely to happen. Rick is obviously straight, a survivalist, big, obviously capable, and built. Henry, on the other hand, doesn't seem to bring much to the table. But Rick himself acknowledges two are better than one. So they team up.
  
  
  Their goal is to stay alive as they try to escape the city. It isn't going to be easy, but there's a growing sense of connection between them, feelings that challenge the dark desperateness of their situation.
  
  
  Can love flower in a new and brutal world ruled by survival of the fittest?
