Forgotten Song (2005)

You don’t expect the love of your life to literally fall at your feet. Ben Carson sure as hell didn’t. But when a mysterious stranger passes out cold at Ben’s feet after a street fight, Ben knows right away that this could be something special, that this man isn’t like anyone else he’s ever known.

Eric Green intrigues Ben from the first. The heat between them is fierce and immediate. But it's more than a physical attraction. Ben is drawn to the sorrow and vulnerability that lie behind Eric’s hot temper and suspicious nature. Generous, open, and trusting, Ben vows to help Eric put the violence and abuse of his past behind him and heal the damage it did to him.

As Ben tears down the walls Eric has built around himself and Eric learns to trust again, the powerful attraction between them grows and deepens into a love that could last a lifetime. But the past isn’t always so easily pushed aside…

Easy (2006)

Dan Corazon is a man with a secret. A secret he’s kept for most of his life, hidden away from the world. Over the years, all the little deceptions designed to hide his homosexuality have become the basis of his life. So he keeps his secret, in spite of the loneliness it causes, because it’s easier to hide behind comfortable lies than to risk everything he cares about by coming out.

Stevie Sanger is a man trapped by circumstance. Homeless, penniless, and with no one to turn to, he supports himself the only way he can: by selling his body on the street. He uses the smile that’s earned him the nickname ‘Sunshine’ to hide the pain of his nightmarish life even from himself. Because denying his unhappiness is easier than facing it head on.

Dan and Stevie want each other from the moment they meet, when Dan finds Stevie bruised and bloodied by a sadistic john and offers to help him turn his life around. That attraction quickly blossoms into something deeper, something that could become permanent. But first, they need to overcome all the obstacles in their way. Dan’s fear of his own nature, Stevie’s belief that he’s not good enough for Dan. The unresolved pieces of Stevie’s past. Building the relationship they both want may be a challenge too big for either of them. But nothing worth having is ever easy.

Oleander House (2006)

When Sam Raintree goes to work for Bay City Paranormal Investigations, he expects his quiet life to change--he doesn’t expect to put his life and sanity on the line, or to fall for a man he can never have.

Book One in the Bay City Paranormal Investigation series.

Sam Raintree has never been normal. All his life, he’s experienced things he can’t explain. Things that have colored his view of the world and of himself. So taking a job as a paranormal investigator seems like a perfect fit. His new co-workers, he figures, don’t have to know he’s gay.

When Sam arrives at Oleander House, the site of his first assignment with Bay City Paranormal Investigations, nothing is what he expected. The repetitive yet exciting work, the unusual and violent history of the house, the intensely erotic and terrifying dreams which plague his sleep. But the most unexpected thing is Dr. Bo Broussard, the group’s leader.

From the moment they meet, Sam is strongly attracted to his intelligent, alluring boss. It doesn’t take Sam long to figure out that although Bo has led a heterosexual life, he is very much in the closet, and wants Sam as badly as Sam wants him.

As the investigation of Oleander House progresses and paranormal events in the house escalate, Sam and Bo circle warily around their mutual attraction, until a single night of bloodshed and revelation changes their lives forever.

Quando Sam Raintree va a lavorare per la Bay City Paranormal Investigation, si aspetta che la sua vita tranquilla cambi, ma non si aspetta di mettere la sua vita e la sua sanità mentale in gioco, o di innamorarsi di un uomo che non potrà mai avere.

Primo libro nella serie della Bay City Paranormal Investigation.

Sam Raintree non è mai stato normale. Per tutta la sua vita, ha sperimentato cose che non è mai riuscito a spiegare. Cose che hanno colorato la sua visione del mondo e di se stesso. Così acettare un lavoro come investigatore paranormale sembre la cosa perfetta da fare. I suoi nuovi colleghi, si immagina, non devono sapere che lui è gay.

Quando Sam arriva a Oleander House, luogo del suo primo incarico con la Ba City Paranormal Investigation, niente è come si aspetta. Il ripetitivo ma eccitante lavoro, l'inusuale e violenta storia della casa, l'intensità erotica e i terrificanti sogni che tormentano il suo sonno. Ma la cosa più inaspettata è il Dottor Broussard, il capo del gruppo.

Dal primo momento del loro incontro, Sam è fortemente attratto dal sua intelligente e affascinante capo. Non ci vuole molto a Sam per immaginare che anche se Bo ha condotto una vita da eterosessuale, in realtà sta negando la sua omosessualità, e vuole Sam così tanto quanto Sam vuole lui.

Mentre l'indagine a Oleander House prosegue e gli eventi paranormali nella casa aumentano, Sam e Bo cercano di negare con forza la loro muta attrazione, fino a che una notte di sangue e scoperta cambierà per sempre le loro vite.

Catching a Buzz (2007)

Can a straight-laced business student and an indie boy with a thing for extremely personal electronics turn one night’s wild ride into a trip to last forever?

A Midsummer Night’s Steam story

Adam Holderman isn’t your typical twenty-something college boy. He prefers jazz to Goth, shuns body piercings and street-waif clothing, and despises the lack of vocabulary among his peers. Some call him uptight, but Adam doesn’t see it that way. Just because he prefers his men articulate and well-groomed doesn’t make him a stick-in-the-mud. He simply has standards, unlike most guys his age.

The new employee at Wild Waters Park, where Adam works, single-handedly throws a monkey wrench into Adam’s orderly world view. Buzz Stiles wears eyeliner and black clothes, listens to emo bands, and talks like a teenage skate punk. He’s the polar opposite of Adam’s avowed “type”. So why can’t Adam get him out of his head?

When Adam finally agrees to go out with Buzz, he finds there’s much more to Buzz than a hot body, a sharp wit, and a Goth fashion sense. Buzz is someone Adam can see himself being with for the long haul. But you need more than mind-melting sex to make a relationship last. Can they keep their hands off each other long enough to find out if they have what it takes?

Uno studente azzimato e un ragazzo hippie con una passione per gli oggetti elettronici estremamente personali possono trasformare una corsa selvaggia di una notte in un viaggio che durerà per sempre?

Una storia nella serie A Midsummer Night’s Steam

Adam Holderman non è il tipico universitario ventenne. Preferisce il jazz alla musica goth, evita il body piercing e i vestiti da vagabondo da strada, e disprezza la mancanza di vocabolario tra i suoi pari. Qualcuno lo chiama perfettino, ma Adam non la vede a quel modo. Solo perchè preferisce che i suoi uomini sappiano parlare e siano educati questo non lo rende uno impantanato. Semplicemente ha i suoi standard, a differenza di molti della sua età.

Il nuovo impiegato al Wild Waters Park, dove lavora Adam, semplicemente getta una chiave inglese nell'ordinato mondo di Adam. Buzz Stiles indossa eyeliner e vestiti neri, ascolta gruppi emo, e parla come un adolescente punk. E' al polo opposto del "tipo" desiderato da Adam. Così perchè Adam non riesce a toglierselo dalla testa?

Quando Adam finalmente accetta di uscire con Buzz, scopre che c'è molto più in Buzz che un corpo sexy, un atteggiamento tagliente, e un senso della moda Goth. Buzz è qualcuno con cui Adam può vedersi insieme per molto tempo. Ma c'è bisogno di più che sesso sconvolgente per far durare una relazione. Possono tenere le mani lontane l'uno dall'altro abbastanza a lungo da scoprire se hanno quello che ci vuole?

During the days that follow, as Braeden teaches Joey to harness and control his newfound power over the natural world, Joey finds himself falling for the gentle, patient Braeden.

Twilight (2007)

In the twilight shadows, nothing is what it seems, and not all the monsters have claws.

Book Three in the Bay City Paranormal Investigations series.

While leading an amateur ghost-hunting expedition in Asheville, NC, Bay City Paranormal is called to investigate Sunset Lodge, a rustic inn situated on a remote Smoky Mountain peak. In recent weeks, employees and guests alike have seen a weird, frightening creature in the forest near the lodge. A creature which sounds all too familiar to the BCPI team.

Sam Raintree doesn’t want to deal with another interdimensional gateway. The last one they faced nearly took the life of Sam’s employer and lover, Dr. Bo Broussard, and Sam can’t stand the thought of it happening again. Especially now that he and Bo are finally together and working through their problems. But Sam’s psychokinetic abilities give him the power to permanently close the gateways, and he can’t bring himself to ignore that. With the safety of the Sunset Lodge staff and guests at stake, Sam, Bo and their colleague, Dean Delapore, make the trip to the Lodge to determine if it indeed hosts a portal to another dimension.

Once at Sunset Lodge, a missing man, a grisly discovery and a moment of carelessness converge to reveal secrets much different—and far uglier—than any the BCPI team expected. Secrets which not only put their lives in danger, but which might provide Sam with an escape from the portals. If he’s willing to take it.

Nelle ombre del crepuscolo, niente è quello che sembra, e non tutti i mostri hanno gli artigli.

Terzo libro nella serie Bay City Paranormal Investigations.

Mentre sta conducendo una spedizione di caccia ai fantasmi amatoriale a Asheville, NC, la Bay City Paranorma è chiamata ad indagare la Sunset Lodge, una locanda rustica situata in un picco remoto della Smoky Montain. Nelle recenti settimane, impiegati e ospiti hanno visto una creatura strana e terrorizzante nella foresta vicino alla locanda. Una creatura i cui suoni sono fin troppo familiari al gruppo della BCPI

Sam Raintree non desidera trattare con un altro portale intradimensionale. L'ultimo che hanno affrontato ha preso la vita del datore di lavoro e amante di Dam, il Dr. Bo Broussard, e Dam non può sopportare il pensiero che questo accada di nuovo. Specialmente ora che lui e Bo sono finalmente insieme e cercano di risolvere i loro problemi. Ma le abilità psicocinetiche di Sam gli danno il potere di chiudere in modo permanente i portali, e lui non può ignorarlo. Con la salvezza dello staff e degli ospiti del Sunset Lodge in gioco, Sam, Bo e il loro collega, Dean Delapore, fanno un viaggio alla locanda per determinare se questa in effetti ospiti un portale per un'altra dimensione.

Una volta al Sunset Lodge, un uomo scomparso, una scoperta spaventosa e un momento di negligenza convergono per svelare segreti molto diversi - e altrettanto spaventosi - di quanto il gruppo della BCPI si fosse aspettato. Segreti che non solo mettono le loro vite in pericolo, ma che potrebbero fornire a Sam un via di fuga dai portali. Se lui è disposto a prenderla.
