Method to Madness

Thomas Bruso

Sinossi

Five years ago, Jack Ballinger was a police officer.
He has since moved from the small upstate New York town of Black Falls for greener pastures and a peaceful life alone in the Green Mountain State. Time has changed Jack -- he is no longer the man he used to be. A significant challenge for him has been the heartbreaking loss of his boyfriend, companion, and one true love, Steve. 
Now alone, Jack has yet to deal rationally with the immediate changes of his new life. After losing his partner, Jack drank heavily to numb the pain and forget his life-changing loss. Now he must find a way to move forward without Steve and the life he built for himself. Joining an Alcoholics Anonymous group helps quiet the voices that still keep him awake at night. But something much darker has followed him to his life in the quiet corners of Vermont. 
When Jack thinks he has buried the scars of his past, a new nightmare emerges. How far will Jack go to end the imminent evil in his life and kill it for good? 
Trigger warning: this story addresses suicide and suicidal ideation.

Fireworks

R.W. Clinger

Jake Patt, bar manager of Smooth, is looking for the guy of his dreams this steamy-hot July, minus the local drunks and bad boys. So far he hasn't had much luck. Maybe Pittsburgh just is too small and he needs to think bigger.
To Jake's surprise, a handsome man walks into Smooth. Doing his job, Jake serves him his beer and learns his name and what he does for a living: Kailin Boost, a visiting bridge inspector. The two hit off well and spend the evening together. 
Kailin is worth some good laughs and has a lot of charm, and there's nothing at all boring about the man. Before Jake realizes it, the bridge inspector spends more evenings at the bar, and Jake feels he might just have gained a boyfriend. When Kailin invites him to a Fourth of July party, fireworks begin to happen and he starts falling for Kailin. 
With good things come the bad -- at least this is what Jake has learned in life. Enter Kailin's problematic baggage, Michael Benz. Michael's a world-traveling model with lots of muscle and money and a hardcore case of lust for Kailin. Which man will end up with Kailin, the average guy running a gay bar or a good-looking model with loads of money?

Demonica: Daimon

Pelaam Pelaam

Daimon, a empathic demon aligned with neither the dark nor the light, lives in a remote part of New Zealand for the scenery as much as the lack of people. But the self-imposed solitude is often boring.
While watching the moon one evening, Daimon senses someone's despair. Curious, he investigates -- not that the memory of the gorgeous man who'd moved in nearby recently has anything to do with his interest -- only to find out more about his new neighbours than he expected. 
Well, at least he isn't bored anymore.

Burning Love

Ashley James

Chesney Jennings is the last person Jasper Smith ever expected to see back in Sweet Briar, Wyoming. So when Jasper's grandfather dies and leaves half of Wind River Ranch to him and the other half to Chesney, heir to the family they've been feuding with for generations, he's blindsided.

But the will comes with one condition: to claim the inheritance, they must run the ranch together for a year.

Jasper has spent his whole life holding Wind River together with grit, loyalty, and stubborn determination. The ranch is struggling, and his family is running out of options. The last thing he needs is help from a Jennings—especially one who disappeared years ago and left a hole in Jasper's chest that never quite healed.

Chesney never planned to return to Sweet Briar. Not after spending years trying to outrun the town, the feud, and the memories he left behind. But refusing the inheritance isn't an option, and neither is avoiding the man who once meant more to him than anyone else.

Forced into long days, sleepless nights, and a partnership neither of them wants, the tension between Jasper and Chesney sparks fast—and burns hotter than either man is prepared for. Secrets come out, lines blur, and somewhere between shared burdens and stolen moments, resentment turns into something far more tumultuous.

But in a town where everyone remembers everything—and families don't forgive easily—loving each other might cost them more than the ranch. It might cost them everything.

Asher. AKA Stan. Stalker. More than meets the eye. 
It’s hard to find good hookups while on tour. Sid wants pain, humiliation, and the kind of sex that isn’t easy to get from one-night stands. So for now, he’s given up, settled for an online Dom to get his rocks off, and focused on his band instead. The Underdogs are getting increasingly popular, but there is one fan who has followed Sid since before he even joined the band, and he’s driving Sid mad! Rich, spoiled hipster brat looking for the bad boy experience. If he knew what Sid was really into, he would run for the hills. Asher is convinced that Sid is The One, his One True Love, his endgame. 
Years ago, Asher lost his virginity to Sid, and from that moment on, he knew it was meant to be. They had a spark, that honest connection that couldn’t be faked. The members of Sid’s band call him a stalker, but all he wants is to offer Sid his love. When Sid finally chokes out what he wants, Asher is more than ready to unleash it on him. 
But the last time Sid was out as gay and submissive, he got badly burnt when his former band kicked him out, and the doors to many opportunities slammed in his face.
