Three Wishes and a Miracle

Mere Rain

Summary

Aelred hasn't been outside the monastery since his parents donated him as a child. He knows he shouldn't want more than this life of prayer, but he dreams of the far-off lands spoken of in the Bible. When a wealthy patron leaves a chest of treasures to be catalogued, Aelred is fascinated by their beauty. Most beautiful of all is the strange man who appears from nowhere and claims to be a djinn ... with wishes for Aelred!


Aelred is sure the djinn is a demon sent to lure him into damnation. There is nothing a monk ought to wish for. He has no use for riches. And he certainly shouldn't wish for earthly pleasures. He shouldn't even be thinking about the djinn's offers, magical or carnal. But not thinking about the djinn grows more and more difficult as they spend time together, and the djinn's stories awaken Aelred's longing for adventure ... and for love.


The djinn tells Aelred he can have what he desires. But are his promises truth or temptation?

Everything About You - A Second...

Jeanne St. James

I had given him everything. He turned around and left me with nothing... 
It was your smile. 
Your laugh. 
The color of your eyes. 
The way you looked at me when no one else was looking. 
The way you held me. 
The way you kissed me. 
It was everything about you I loved. 
  
The flattening of that smile. 
The silence of your laughter. 
The loss of your lips. 
The way you left. 
The way you destroyed it all. 
The way you destroyed me. 
Destroyed us. 
It was everything about you I hated. 
  
Everything about you. 
I wanted. 
Needed. 
Hoped for. 
And that day you not only broke my heart. 
You f*cking crushed it.

When a friend suggests maybe he's doing it on purpose, Ian can't get the thought out of his mind. But he can't hit on a straight guy, can he?

Beau Collins has never lived with a gay man before, but he certainly can't deny his attraction to his sexy new roommate. Ian is small, pale, slight, and beguiling, but Beau must admit he has a huge boy crush. He just isn't sure what to do with it or how to propose doing something about it.

When he finally does, Ian takes it wrong and the whole thing goes astray. Or does it? Will two boys with broken hearts, trust issues and a boat load of baggage finally find a home in each other? Or will their burgeoning love story fade faster than a summer tan?
