Crushed

J.M. Snyder

Sinossi

Once the star of his high school basketball team, Nathan Gayle has played the field for years. Now in his twenties, he's getting tired of one night stands and heated hook-ups with strangers; he wants something more. Was that asking too much?
Wes Roberts has had a fierce crush on Nathan since high school. A chance encounter at prom created a memory Wes still cherishes, one perfect moment in time. His current relationship with Roger pales in comparison, but he's been with the man for eight months now and they've settled into a routine that's not exactly comfortable. 
When Wes and Nathan meet up again years later at a friend's party, the spark between them is rekindled. But there's Roger, who wrestles with anger and drinking problems. Roger, whom Wes is still dating. Though the choice between the two men seems obvious, breaking up with Roger may be easier said than done.

Beneath Cherry Blossom Memories

Myka Loren

Phoenix: Bad breakups happen. Sometimes, they hurt, and other times they're downright deadly. I spent the last year trying to keep my head above wave after wave of heartache. I focused on my band, my friends, and my cat. I wasn't living, but I was surviving without Eli. 
 
 
 
That all changed because he's back. And he's with someone else. As if seeing him with another person wasn't bad enough, he hasn't changed. He's still the same addict I fell in love with. I don't know if I can forgive him for it, either. 
 
 
 
But the heart wants what it wants, and I don't think mine will ever stop begging for his. 
 
 
 
Eli: I had no business inserting myself in Phoenix's path again. We were a catastrophe before, so what made me think it'd be different this time? 
 
 
 
I made it my mission to ensure that I broke him so thoroughly that he'd never want me again. But that's the thing, I can't seem to forget him. He's a living memory beneath my skin. His kisses are burned into my soul. The screams in my skull are only quiet when he's near. 
 
 
 
But the noise is louder than ever before, and I fear he might be unable to silence them this time. We're doomed, but I can't stay away. Not anymore.
