Summary

A Lambda Literary Finalist in Best Erotica

In modern day Manhattan, Atticus is a down-on-his-luck architect who stumbles into an S&M bar and meets a young man who changes the direction of his life. What begins as a random pick-up evolves into an intense game of sexual domination as Atticus finds himself wildly invigorated both as a man and an architect.


As the relationship deepens, his creativity catches fire and he lands a prime architectural job at his firm designing a bold new high rise tower. Soon his two worlds collide as the thin lines between reality and fantasy and pleasure and pain threaten to explode.


With a new introduction by Lambda Literary winner Jeff Mann, this "wonder of a book" is as carnally explosive as it is compellingly original.

Edward Kendrick

Three men:


Neil Stafford, a scene designer. He is still infatuated with his first lover. It's reason he wants to go to their college reunion -- to see if he can finally put his feelings for Zeke behind him, with the help of his best friend.

Kev Deering, a waiter. He's been in love with Neil almost since they first met two years ago. However, for reasons of his own, he hasn't told Neil he's bi, so Neil treats him as his very safe, straight best friend and nothing more.

Spells and Sensibility

K.L. Noone, K.S. Murphy

Theodore Burnett has never been a hero. He prefers comfort to combat-spells, and jam-slathered scones to muddy boots. Fortunately, as the youngest-ever head librarian at the Royal College of Wizardry, Theo can spend his days with books and bibliomancy in place of battle-magic or politics -- and in any case Napoleon's been defeated and the war's been won.


But now there's a wounded captain of the Magicians' Corps in Theo's library. And he needs Theo's help. And Theo can never resist a mystery, especially when that mystery's tall and tempting and handsome.


Captain Henry Tourmaline, formerly of His Majesty's Army and the Magicians' Corps, requires assistance. He's returned to London with scars on his body, soul, and heart -- war, after all, will do that to anyone. But one of those scars refuses to heal, a curse that's slowly draining Henry's magic and eventually his life. The physicians have no answers, so Henry turns to the College's books ... and the College's attractive head librarian. But the curse is unpredictable, and the last thing Henry wants is to drag someone else into the line of fire, particularly someone as kind and innocent and brilliant as Theo.


Theo wants to save Henry. Henry wants to keep Theo safe. Together, perhaps they can do both ... while uncovering a perilous secret behind a spell, a deadly puzzle in the archives, and their own heart's desires.
