Pulling Away

Shawn Lane

Sinossi

Noah grew up with Charlie. They'd always been friends, if not close. Noah becomes the only friend that sticks around after Charlie practically becomes a hermit.
Determined to get through to Charlie, Noah invents an identity on the computer. And while Charlie still keeps Noah at arm's length, he opens up to his new computer buddy. 
Noah's dream finally comes true when his friendship with Charlie changes to include sex, but each time they are together, Charlie withdraws afterward. Every time Noah tries to get through to him, Charlie grows even more distant. Then Charlie tells Noah's disguised internet persona that he doesn't have a boyfriend, merely a neighbor with whom he has sex. 
Crushed and heartbroken, Noah thinks it's time to give up and forget Charlie ever loving him the way he loves Charlie. But is pulling away from Charlie too much for Noah to take?

The Prince Who Never Smiled

Pepper Espinoza

What could a humble peasant offer a lofty, but dour, crown prince?


Many years ago, in a kingdom far away, there lived a young prince. This prince was very handsome, and everybody in the kingdom loved him. The prince, being a good man, responded in kind and treated everybody fairly. But, much to his father's confusion and his mother's disappointment, there was one thing the prince would never do -- smile.


Finally, unable to tolerate his son's dour expression any longer, the king sent out a decree. He dispatched messengers to every corner of his country, and runners to all the neighboring kingdoms. The first person to make his hard-faced child smile would earn the right to marry him.


Unfortunately for the king, things did not go as planned.

The Hunger Gap

Holly Day

After years of the government taking everything he grows, homesteader George Vega has had enough. Food is scarce and people are starving. To provide for himself, he'll need to break the law. Together with his next-door neighbor June, he sets up a system to hide food from the controller during his weekly collecting visits.


Axel Rowe won't survive much longer. Every scrap of food he can get his hands on, he gives to his six-year-old daughter, but it isn't nearly enough. Luck is on his side when he secures a job as a controller. He realizes taking the job will make people dislike him, but he has to eat.


George understands the danger he's in when his old, lazy controller is replaced with a new, more observant one. Axel suspects there is something George is withholding, but when George takes care of him after nearly collapsing from hunger, Axel is more curious about how he's able to keep food for himself than he's interested in reporting him. George knows the risk, but after having looked into Axel's desperate eyes, he's compelled to take care of him. But can an outlaw homesteader have a relationship with the man who's supposed to make sure he follows the law?

Mike Bravo Ops: Rogue

Eden Finley

TRAV 
I remember the first time I met Dylan Rodriguez. It was one sweaty encounter I’ll never forget. 
The second time we met, he arrested me. I can still see the hot scowl on his beautiful face as he slapped handcuffs on me and realized I was … me. 
Dylan’s main goal in life is to forget he ever met me. My goal is to make him mine. 
Turns out, I'm better at this game than he is. 
DYLAN 
When my law enforcement career falls to pieces in front of my own eyes, I don’t know who I can trust. 
I have nowhere to go. No one to turn to. 
Asking Trav for help is a last resort, but I’m desperate. 
If he can’t get me out of this mess, I may as well turn myself over to the guys hunting me down. 
I’m not sure which will be more difficult: protecting my life or my heart. 
Because when it comes to love, my heart wants what my brain doesn’t. It wants Travis West.
