The Pride

Shawn Bailey

Sinossi

Mayor's son Dakota Julian is minding his business and marching in the annual Heritage Pride Parade when a fight breaks out between him and some hecklers. Dakota isn't a stranger to trouble and thinks he can battle himself out of the situation with his fists, until the police arrive and arrest everyone involved.

The last person in the world he expects to bail him out of jail is the mayor's bodyguard, Roman Lombardi, who is supposed to be out of town. Dakota and Roman have history, but this is not the way he wants to impress the tall, handsome, and muscular bodyguard.

Even though Dakota promised he wouldn't be participating in this year's Pride march, Roman isn't surprised to see him there, strutting his stuff wearing a tube top, short shorts, and cowboy boots. Nor is he surprised when Dakota gets into a fight and is hauled off to jail.

What surprises him is Dakota throwing his arms around Roman's neck and kissing him senselessly. Though flattered, giving the media ammunition to use against the mayor doesn't seem like a smart thing to do. What also isn't smart is the mayor asking Roman to keep an eye on Dakota for the weekend while he entertains guests. After that kiss, anything is bound to happen.

Phoenix Code - New Beginnings M...

Kashel Char

This is a low-action, high-science-fiction fantasy story with bouts of silliness, steamy M/M romances, a wedding, and a “Quik-Fix Hall.” 
Phoenix was becoming a pressure cooker nearing bursting open, as the sequestered group of savant scientists and soldiers in the glass-domed pods in Antarctica were buzzing with sexual tension. 
Brad McCormick figured since the limbic system associated with sexual desire is linked to libido and the part of the brain responsible for higher-level functions, like planning and thinking, he had a problem he couldn't solve without his leadership team. To put it more explicitly, the men were extremely sexually eager. 
Unbeknownst to the threat of external forces, the new Phoenician code of conduct, their scientific discoveries of new technologies and DNA manipulations hold the key to human survival—a blueprint for a new world, where the old divisions and conflicts become nothing more than relics of the past.

Defying Gravity

Charles Payseur

Gravity has it pretty together. He's got a nice apartment with neighbors who don't mind him flying in and out at all hours and a superhero career that, while maybe not out of this world, keeps him busy and with enough of a following to crowdfund his living expenses. Until, of course, a strange man shows up hoping to be his sidekick.
Bruce doesn't seem like a bad guy (and he certainly looks good in tight clothes), but after he shows up Gravity finds himself suddenly getting trounced by villains he used to have no problem with. Is he just distracted by his growing attraction to Bruce, or is there something else going on that might explain why every villain suddenly has no problem defying Gravity?
