Facing the Curse

Patrick Bryce Wright

Sinopse

As a Wiccan, Tito Russell is a firm believer in magic -- just not the fairytale, happily-ever-after kind. He and Matt have been dating for years, they've met each other's families, and everyone seems to agree Matt is "good enough." Despite ongoing problems with Matt's jealous and possessive tendencies, they move into an apartment together in a new town. Tito finds a job as a clerk at a used bookstore. Everything is working out.
Then the local Wiccan circle, which is hosting a workshop, accepts Tito's RSVP but not Matt's. Despite Matt's jealous whining, Tito refuses to give up his shot at joining a circle and making friends in their new town. When Tito shows up at the house where the circle is holding their meeting, he discovers his sexy upstairs neighbor from the apartment complex, Leo, is a member. As soon as they shake hands, magical sparks fly. Tito and Leo both feel it. During the barbeque after the workshop, Leo seeks out Tito, and they talk for hours. Leo is everything Matt isn't: outgoing, deep, and kind.
The problem is that Matt knows it, too, and for once his jealous paranoia that Tito is attracted to another guy is on target. Despite Tito's being loyal and refusing to become more than friends with Leo, Matt unleashes his full rage, ripping off the mask of the lovable nerd and becoming a rageful abuser.
As soon as Leo sees the bruises, he convinces Tito to take a stand and dump Matt. But with Matt's behavior getting progressively more unhinged, where will it end? With Leo and Tito getting together, or with both of them dead at Matt's hands?

Once Upon a Sexy Scrooge

Brooke Blaine, Ella Frank

Ah, Christmas. The most magical time of the year. The snow is falling, cider is flowing, and couples are kissing under the mistletoe. 
 
 
 
Too bad all that makes me want to gag. 
 
 
 
It isn't that I'm a hater, it's just that I have a job to do, and this particular holiday is getting in the way of that. And I know what you'll say, that Micah Noble's Christmas Tree Farm is a beloved tradition for many of the families, but you have to see the bigger picture here: a luxury resort where overworked Manhattanites can escape to, a serene place of spas and shopping and watching sexy lumberjacks chopping wood . . . 
 
 
 
Scratch that last one. Lumberjacks aren't my thing. Anymore. Micah cured me of that, which tends to happen when you're trying to buy someone's family land to bulldoze to the ground. 
 
 
 
He can call me a Scrooge all he wants, but business is business, and pleasure is . . . well, not something I can afford to think about. Even if it does come packaged in those tight jeans and flannel shirts that make me want to rip them off with my teeth— 
 
 
 
No. This is not happening. I will not think of Micah as anything other than an obstacle to getting what I want. A really sexy obstacle. 
 
 
 
Contains mature themes.

Outrun the Rain

N.R. Walker

Tully Larson has loved tropical storms since he was a kid and spent his summers with his dad in the wilds of Kakadu National Park. He's happiest outdoors, a rough and ready kind of guy who loves the power of Mother Nature and chasing the thrill of electrical storms every chance he gets. 
Jeremiah Overton, a fulminologist from Melbourne, chases storms for a whole different reason. Lightning has shaped his entire life and he's driven to study it, to understand it, so heading to Kakadu in the middle of the storm season is a logical thing to do. After all, the Top End is the lightning capital of Australia. 
Tully wasn't sure how a week at his remote bunker with an academic type would pan out. And Jeremiah didn't expect much from the storm-chasing cowboy who volunteered to take him. 
But both men know all too well that when opposites attract, lightning strikes.
