Murder at Oakschott Hall by Jim Austen

About Murder at Oakschott Hall by Jim Austen:

In the Junior students’ dormitory at Oakschott Hall, a heavy gaslight falls from the ceiling, crushing the skull of a student sleeping beneath it. Was it simply a tragic accident? To avoid publicity, the Headmaster asks Colin Revell, a young Oxford University graduate and former Oakschott student, to quietly investigate.
While interviewing the faculty and staff, Colin meets Max Lambourne, a handsome don wounded and gassed in WWI. When Colin tries to help Max overcome his trauma and depression, the two men fall in love and begin an erotic affair.
But when another student dies—diving at night into an empty swimming pool—murder is suspected. Students and faculty all come under suspicion, and rumors proliferate when Scotland Yard intervenes. Meanwhile, during all this confusion and wild theories, the murderer sees Colin and Max as threats. Unbeknownst to the two lovers, their lives are now in danger.

You Can’t Buy Love Like That: Growing Up Gay in the Sixties

About You Can’t Buy Love Like That: Growing Up Gay in the Sixties:

A young lesbian girl grows beyond fear to fearlessness as she comes of age in the ’60s amid religious, social, and legal barriers.

Carol Anderson grows up in a fundamentalist Christian home in the 60s, a time when being gay was in opposition to all social and religious mores and against the law in most states. Fearing the rejection of her parents, she hides the truth about her love orientation, creating emotional distance from them for years, as she desperately struggles to harness her powerful attractions to women while pursuing false efforts to be with men.

The watershed point in Carol’s journey comes when she returns to graduate school and discovers the feminist movement, which emboldens her sense of personal power and the freedom to love whom she chooses. But this sense of self-possession comes too late for honesty with her father. His unexpected death before she can tell him the truth brings the full cost of Carol’s secret crashing in compelling her to come out to her mother before it is too late.

Candid and poignant, You Can’t Buy Love Like That, reveals the complex invisible dynamics that arise for gay people who are forced to hide their true selves in order to survive and celebrates the hard-won rewards of finding one’s courageous heart and achieving self-acceptance and self-love.

Desolation Angel

About Desolation Angel:

Dare gets lost in music only he can hear.

Since childhood, it’s rolled through his mind, drowning out the rest of the world. When he comes back to himself he has the notes and lyrics for the songs his band plays. But he wonders if such talent is worth it, when the rest of his life is such a mess.
All Sionn ever wanted was Dare’s attention.

But that won’t happen as long as Dare has his ‘musical dreams’, so he keeps his attraction a secret. Too bad it’s impossible to keep anything secret when you live with your three best friends. When Sionn’s temper reaches breaking point, he sets Dare on a quest to ‘fix’ himself, in the hopes of gaining the love of the man he adores.

But Fate has a funny way of twisting things.
And ‘normal’ is just a state of mind, isn’t it? While Dare struggles to change, secrets are revealed, loyalties are tested, and the band is offered the chance of a lifetime. Can they pull themselves together fast enough to take advantage of it, or will Dare’s desire to be ‘normal’ unravel all their lives?

The Invisible Chains – Part 1: Bonds of Hate by Andrew Ashling

About The Invisible Chains – Part 1: Bonds of Hate by Andrew Ashling

An epic fantasy story in an alternative historical medieval setting, packed with action and adventure, politics and intrigue, but also friendship, love and romance.

He is a prince of the Royal House of Ximerion, a fiercely competitive dynasty. He is only sixteen years old when his father, the high king, gives him and his older half-brother — and rival for the succession — a prestigious title with no substance. While their father and older brothers confront a major power in the south, the young princes are packed off to defend the northern borders against raids by barbarian tribes.

Except…

The army they were given by their father is far too small to defend the Northern Marches, not to mention that the experienced general — and friend of their father — who leads the army doesn’t seem all that eager to fight. Neither are the northern lords or the local population interested in defending themselves. And money is scarce… The half-brother princes begin to suspect they were set up for failure by their own father.

Then the unthinkable happens, and the youngest prince finds himself a captive, all alone, without friends, in a faraway region and surrounded by enemies, among which foremost his own family. If he wants to survive he needs to grow up fast.

Warning: the protagonists of this novel are gay and there are explicit scenes of man on man action. This dark fantasy also features some cruel events, none of them gratuitous, but some readers may find them too hard.

Bittersweet

About Bittersweet:

A small collection of short stories that deals with love and loss. This collection includes: End of a Dream, Seasons, Misplaced Love, and One More Night.

Excerpt:
Just before you proposed, you told me about a dream you once had.

We were back in high school, being goofy, lovestruck teens. We were walking in one of the local parks. There was a lake near us, and you figured it’d be a good idea to push me in. Fortunately, I caught the sleeve of your shirt, and took you down with me. We spent the rest of that dream kissing in that lake, until evening fell and we had to go back.

As I looked down at you in that hospital bed, I kept remembering that dream, your voice still ringing in my ears. Before I knew it, I leaned down, and kissed your forehead.

“I love you,” I whispered, just as the nurses rushed in, just as I was ushered to the side, they couldn’t do anything to revive you.

“I love you,” I said again, “so fucking much.”

Hero

About Hero:

Strangely enough, Daniel felt empty. Did that bout of immaturity send an innocent kid to his death? Maybe, maybe not. But then again, a lot of teenagers did stupid things. Why? Maybe for the drama. Maybe to try and protect themselves, or to taste the forbidden fruits adulthood had to offer. Or maybe just out of sheer boredom. Daniel should know. He’s done more than his fair share of stupid acts.

But the fact that the kid had to go through that, only to turn into some kind of statistic. Perhaps even a cautionary tale for victims and bullies and children who enjoy walking around at night. That was all that kid would be remembered by, and it left a bitter taste in his mouth.

Suddenly, he felt a hand on his. Daniel’s eyes flickered down, and saw Alec’s fingers intertwine with his. “Hey,” he muttered.

“I could look into your friend’s disappearance,” Daniel found himself blurting out. After a few minutes of awkwardness, he mentally kicked himself. The sheer look of shock was more than enough to make Daniel regret those words, but even more so when Alec’s grip tighten. “No, it’s fine.”

“Are you sure? I know a couple of guys at the police station. I could-”

“Please Daniel. Just…leave it be.”

Pretend for Me by Ian Finn

About Pretend for Me by Ian Finn

Wes:

My boss’s son has been hitting on me at work. I devise the perfect scheme to politely turn him down, by saying I have a boyfriend. Unfortunately, my loud-mouthed cousin happens to overhear me. She says I just have to bring my new boyfriend to the family reunion this weekend. The boss’s son seems skeptical, and says he can’t wait to see photos on her social media accounts.

Okay, so maybe it isn’t the perfect plan after all. Now I have to come up with someone to be my pretend boyfriend. I randomly name my neighbor, Flynn. We have nothing in common, and I don’t even know if he’s gay, but I think he’s hot.

Can we manage to pull off the perfect fake relationship all weekend to save my job? And, perhaps more importantly, can we manage to keep our hands off each other while we share a room, to save our hearts?

Flynn:

Who does my next door neighbor think he is? That he can just ask me to play the role of his boyfriend in front of his rich, uppity family? I’m a blue collar kind of guy, and I don’t even know what we’d talk about all weekend. But he’s cute, in a spoiled rotten kind of way, I’m always down for a challenge, and I need a favor of my own.

When I find out we both play music, things get more interesting than I thought. Perhaps that favor I had in mind can turn a little more physical. I know he’s just using me for his own purposes, so why not use him to satisfy my own raging libido?

There’s just one little problem – in the midst of pretending to be his fake boyfriend, what if I’m falling for him for real?

Pretend for Me is an opposites attract, rags to riches/ blue collar to billionaire, bad boy next door, fake relationship male/male romance. It mixes humor and steam, with everything from family reunion treasure hunts in the woods to sneaking off to have private man on man action in the leaves; a friendly game of tug-of-war to bedroom games involving a very different sort of tugging. In addition to a happy ever after, it also features plenty of unique musical numbers, but no cheating and no cliffhangers. It’s a standalone full-length novel of over 65,000 words in the Morning Madison series, which can be read in any order but are best enjoyed together, and with a big glass of water nearby due to so much heat in addition to all those feels!

Because You Came Along by Ian Finn

About Because You Came Along by Ian Finn

My life goal is simple, and nearly complete: Get the f*ck out of Baytown.
Then Colin’s hot self has to come along and complicate everything.

On my last day of work as a nurse at Baytown ER, a stranger runs in screaming at me, demanding that I treat his daughter for an allergic reaction. Colin may be over the top dramatic, but he’s also super handsome, filthy rich, and a loving, doting single father.

They’re in the middle of a road trip together from Los Angeles, and when Colin hears that’s where I’m heading, he invites me to come along with them on their way home. As we navigate the trip with a sometimes bratty, sometimes darling tween prone to health issues due to severe allergies and grief issues because of the death of her other parent, I start to realize I’m falling for this man and that I want to be a permanent part of this little family.

But am I ready to make such big changes? Giving Colin my body is easy: he’s quite skilled at blowing my mind… and other things…. in the bedroom. But giving him my heart out in the open is a lot more difficult.

Can I completely come out for him and deal with everything that entails, including a grandfather bent on suing for custody and a society still biased against gay co-parents?

Because You Came Along is a full-length standalone single father, coming out, small town, road trip, rags to riches, opposites attract, billionaire/commoner gay romance novel that combines humor, heat and heart. It has no cheating, no cliffhangers, and a very happy afterever.

Return for Me by Ian Finn

About Return for Me by Ian Finn

Duncan:

Be manly. Don’t ever let the world think you’re weak, and certainly not that you’re gay. Or that’ll ruin everything.

That was the advice my dear old dad always gave me before he passed away, leaving me in charge of Reed Enterprises. His words have served me well up until this day: I’m one of the richest and youngest CEOs in the country. I work hard and play hard—in secret.

After a long day of work, I go home with men my assistant procures for me. They’re attractive, they let me dominate them, and they sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement so that no one knows my dirty little secrets.

But it’s only once I meet Tyler Lewis by happenstance on the street outside my office building that I realize these one-night trysts can’t give me what I truly desire and have never had– true love and acceptance. He seems familiar, and I fear my strong drive to be near him, but I can’t seem to resist the pull.

Will my dad be right and my whole world come crashing down if I break my own rules and see him again?

Tyler:

I have what you might call a little obsession. I can’t ever get over Duncan Reed, a fellow high school music camp nerd. Back then, we kissed. And then he told me to forget about it, and to never do anything like that again— that it’ll only make everyone pick on us for knowing we’re “weak.”

I listened to him, bulking up my scrawny frame and joining the military. I acted every bit of a strong manly man but now I’m back in Madison trying to get my music career to take off– or at least trying to get a job— and I’m not happy without seeing Duncan again.

I often walk by his fancy office building when I’m out looking for gigs. One of these days, I’m going to go inside and confront him. I know he’s a hotshot CEO who takes charge in the bedroom like he does in the boardroom. But now it’s time he listens to me and lets me call the shots. It’s time he gets down on his knees and makes up for pushing me away long ago.

But is he capable of being true to himself and letting me fulfill the wildest desires of his heart and body? Or will he hurt me again like he did back then?

Return for Me is a second chance, coming out/ out for you, opposites attract, rags to riches, male/male romance. It mixes hot dom/sub action of man-on-man parts in the bedroom with sweet voice/note action of man-on-man musical numbers on stage. It has lots of steam, no cheating, no cliffhangers and a very happy ever after. It’s a standalone full length, 53,000 word novel in the Morning Madison series, which can be read in any order but are best enjoyed together, and with a big glass of water nearby due to so much heat in addition to all those feels!

Because You Came Back: A Baytown Boys Coming Out Male/Male Romance by Ian Finn

About Because You Came Back: A Baytown Boys Coming Out Male/Male Romance by Ian Finn

Who’s that handsome stud behind the wheel?
Fancy seeing such a sight in this small town.

It’s just another service call until I see that the broken-down car on the side of the road is a luxury BMW, which is out of place here in Baytown. And then I about faint when I see that the delicious-looking man inside it is Ashton Falls, my old high school classmate, and the object of my obsession ever since.

Back then, I wanted him bad, but never let on. I was the popular football jock, and he was the nerd who tutored me. I had a reputation to uphold, which included staying closeted.

After graduation, Ashton moved away and became a Silicon Valley tech billionaire. He’s back in Baytown for our ten-year high school reunion. Meanwhile, I stayed here to take care of my mom, and opened a mechanic’s shop. And I’m still in that damn closet, because there’s a stigma around these parts against gay men.

Our worlds are about as night and day as they could get. But soon they collide with a night of passion in which I discover that Ashton is as attracted to me as I was to him, and that he always has been.

He can teach me more than just math now, and he’s as athletic in the bedroom as I was on the field. I want him to stay with me, and in me, for good. But will both of us be willing and able to change our lives enough for that to happen?

And, first things first, after hiding my true identity from fellow Baytown residents for my entire life, will I have the courage to show up at our high school reunion with Ashton on my arm?

Because You Came Back is a full-length standalone coming out, small town, second chance, rags to riches, opposites attract, billionaire/blue collar gay romance novel that combines humor, heat and heart. It has no cheating, no cliffhangers, and a very happy after ever.

It’s Book 1 in the Baytown Boys series. It can be read alone but, due to related characters and settings, is best read with others in the series… and a tall glass of water to cool you off after so much steam.
