An Island Lost

Wayne Mansfield

Sinopse

Clint is travelling on a small Cessna Citation over the Pacific. When the plane hits a pocket of turbulence, he is wrenched from his nap and plunged into a nightmare. The plane plummets into the ocean.
Clint and one other passenger, a man named Carlos, survive. The hulk of the plane sinks, leaving them adrift with no land in sight. They fight to stay alive, but thirst and exhaustion overtake them. 
Purely by luck Clint finds himself washed ashore on a mysterious island. But where is Carlos? Did sharks get him? Did he drown? With survival foremost in his mind Clint finds clean water and fruit and a safe place to rest. 
Then Clint discovers the island is inhabited by other castaways, men who have been washed ashore on this unknown island over the years. One of the men is Andy, with whom Clint falls in love. 
Only much later does he discover Carlos's fate, along with the fact that the island has more secrets to reveal. One that could cost him his life.

Snowed In: Jude and Cal

Jessie Pinkham

Jude knows he isn't relationship material. The entire population of Mars made it abundantly clear he's damaged goods, and he agrees. His issues are why he works a remote job flying around the galaxy prospecting for metals, and why he ruthlessly quashes any feelings for Cal, his surveying partner.


Cal has been looking for an opening to suggest he and Jude could be more than friendly coworkers. When they crash on a tundra planet, the men have a lot of free time, and they put it to good use having sex. It's fun, but Cal wants Jude as a boyfriend, not a friend with benefits.


Marooned on a hostile world, with Jude's demons rearing their heads, Cal's first task is to keep the two of them alive. His second is to convince Jude that, no matter how much he's suffered, romance can still be in the cards.
