Blurb:
Bryce finds
himself smack in a zombie apocalypse, and meets the man of his dreams along the
way.
Excerpt:
I jerked
awake to the sound of glass shattering. A quick glance around told me it wasn't
our window, but something outside, nearby. Fuck!
The car! I jumped up but Richard caught my arm and yanked me down next to
him.
"Stay
down!"
"What's
going on?" I whispered.
"Looters,"
Cole revealed. "They're going up and down the street, searching
cars."
Well, at
least they wouldn't steal it, since we had the keys, and the chances of them
sticking around to do any real damage to it seemed pretty slim, too. All we had
to do was wait it out, and they'd go away.
Dolly stood
and paced to the door, walking back and forth in front of it like she was on
guard duty.
On the
street, yelling broke out, and gunshots echoed in the night.
Richard
cursed.
Our visitors
had apparently been discovered. Shouts of run
and look out descended into just
inarticulate screaming and then the unthinkable: Dolly started barking.
Cole lunged
for her, but the damage had already been done. The people outside started banging
on our door, pleading to be let in.
"What do
we do?" I looked to Richard, who was shaking his head.
"Nothing."
"But if
we don't let them in, they'll be infected," I argued. Those were people
outside—we had to help them. What if the roles were reversed? What if that had
been me outside?
"And if
we do let them in, we'll be infected." He reached for one of our backpacks
and started shoving things inside. "We can't stay here. Cole, shut that
damned mutt up!"
"I'm
trying!" Cole struggled with Dolly, trying to get her calmed down and
quiet.
Richard
shoved a bag at me, hitting me square in the chest and bringing me back to
reality. "Pack light. We'll be walking."
"The
car—"
"Is
compromised. We'll never get near it. Hurry up. Cole!"
Cole
scrambled back to us, dragging Dolly behind him.
Outside the
shouting and banging intensified. Someone must've gotten smart, because a brick
came careening through an exposed part of the door glass near the top. It
sailed through the air, barely missing Richard's head.
"Time to
go!" Richard shoved Cole toward the back door. "Bryce, help me with
the boards!"
I grabbed up
a discarded hammer and handed it over to him while I fished in my bag for the
crowbar I'd brought. We struggled with the boards, hacking and pulling.
Richards face turned red with his exertion, and I felt the warmth of my own
efforts spreading out from my arm muscles, making my chest tight and painful.
"Hurry
up, guys!" Cole shouted.
Choices by Em Woods
Blurb:
When a rodeo
clown, a small town veterinarian and his assistant form a complicated trio,
they find it's their choices that determine who finds love.
When rodeo
clown Brandt Collins is forced into retirement by an injury in the arena, he
heads to long-time friend Kaden Slater's hometown to settle down. As far as
he's concerned if that old flame ignites into a wildfire, then all the better.
Kaden is glad
to see Brandt, but a little complication in the form of Kaden's new assistant,
Mike, throws a wrench in all their plans. Sexy, smart and young, Mike wants Kaden
more than he wants his next breath.
Soon,
misunderstandings and the past conspire to tear the trio apart before they've
even begun. And now it's their choices that will determine who finds love - and
who doesn't.
Excerpt:
Standing on
Sissy Andrews's snow-covered porch on New Year's Eve, Brandt Collins rubbed a
gloved hand over the ache in his hip and then winced at the twinge in his rib
cage.
For the
millionth time, he cursed the horn that had speared his leg a year ago and the
bastards who'd pinned him down for a good old-fashioned butt-kicking. That was
two weeks ago, but his body still hurt. If he'd been even a little younger than
his thirty-five years, he could have come back from injuries like that.
Granted, his hip only bothered him in the cold, but still, he wasn't quick
enough to outrun the bulls.
If nothing
else, a rodeo clown had to be agile.
Through the
door, he could hear Elvis music and laughter. More of both than he cared to be
around tonight. Brandt had just talked himself into heading back to his barren
ranch house when the door swung open and a petite blonde launched into his
arms.
Despite the
pain, Brandt whooped and spun her around. "Damn, girl. It's good to see
you too."
Sissy threw
her head back and laughed as she squeezed him tighter. "You made it!"
"Calm
down, Sissy, or you'll knock him clean off the porch." That voice, deep
and husky, settled over Brandt like a thick blanket. His insides warmed, and
all the aches and pains faded.
"She's
all right, Kaden." Brandt dropped his squirming package to her feet.
"Sorry!"
She ruined the apology by hopping in place and clapping her hands together.
"Come on, it's almost midnight. I thought you were gonna bail on me and
make me come and find you. Of course, I would have just sent my brother."
She waved a hand toward Kaden before she pulled them inside her small home and
closed the door.
Brandt took
his time removing his coat and gloves, using the moment of distraction to look
his fill at the younger man. This was the first time he'd seen his friend since
last winter, when Brandt had been laid up injured. Kaden's coal-black hair and
meadow-green eyes melted Brandt's heart while his solid build and masculinity
hardened Brandt's cock.
He pulled in
a deep breath to settle his nerves. Brandt reminded himself there was no
guarantee Kaden was still interested in him. From the moment they'd made their
choices all those years ago, Kaden had remained a solid friend—and nothing
more. No lingering glances. No accidental touches. Kaden had always wished him
well and sent him off with a large thermos of black coffee when he had to head
back to the rodeo. Not once had he asked Brandt to stay.
Not that he
could blame Kaden. Brandt had been hot on the trail of the nearest rodeo, and
Kaden was vet school bound. They had been too stubborn to compromise. Brandt
was afraid they might still be.
Brandt smiled
and waved at people as they called out to him, but he didn't linger. Hell, he
needed a drink. Spotting a large silver keg perched on the kitchen counter
beside a collection of liquor, juices, and soda, Brandt made his way across the
room, followed closely by Kaden. He pulled a plastic cup from the stack beside
the beer, but Kaden snatched it from his hand.
"You
still on those meds?"
Damn him for
remembering. Brandt glared at Kaden and picked up another cup, holding it out
to the sheriff, who guarded the alcohol. "Not your business."
Make Mine to Go by Dilo
Keith
Blurb:
Justin can
usually satisfy Toby's diverse erotic desires, but when Toby craves something
only another man can provide, will this test the limits of Justin's love?
One key to
the success of Justin and Toby's marriage is plenty of sexual variety,
sometimes with other men they meet at the local BDSM club. While Toby assumes
the submissive role in their power exchanges, it's more often Justin who
generously caters to Toby's erotic appetites. Toby's interest in flirting with
a salesman should be trivial in comparison to his other desires. Instead, it
sends both men down uncomfortable paths.
Toby manages
to assure Justin that it was harmless fun, or so it seems at first. More
troubling than Justin being unconvinced is that Toby doesn't entirely believe
his own story. When Toby finally figures out he wants something only another
man can give him, he knows it won't be easy to tell Justin. More importantly,
is realizing a fantasy-- even an exceptionally compelling one -- worth the
risk?
Excerpt:
They joined
my wrists behind me with a simple clip. Bound, blindfolded, and kneeling, I
awaited my next orders. They whispered to each other. The bed dipped, and I
could tell by the sound of a zipper Paul went for his toy bag on the floor.
Justin was doing something too. My desire to know warred with the thrill of
erotic darkness.
"Suck
me," Justin said.
If he
expected me to remove his jock without my hands, it wouldn't be quick. I hoped
he remembered I felt foolish the last time we tried that. Thankfully, he'd just
done it himself. I lapped at the trickle of pre-cum I found on his magnificent
cock. Apparently uninterested in my reverent attitude, Justin pulled me down, leaving
me with my face in his pubes as my main support, his cock nearly gagging me at
first.
Justin lifted
my head with fingers tangled in my hair. That's such a turn-on. I keep it long
enough to allow a good handful. "Having a little trouble, Toby?"
"Just
enough, sir."
"Slut."
He pulled me back down and kept his hands on my neck, more for symbolism than
instruction.
Paul smacked
my upturned ass, slowly at first. It warmed and tingled under his masterful
care. At some point he switched from bare hands to a fingerless glove that had
studs or something, but not sharp like vampire gloves. The combined sensations
of leather, studs, and bare fingers made it difficult to focus on Justin's
cock. That divine balance of pleasure and pain could transport me to subspace
if I weren't trying to do a decent job. Despite my best efforts, I lost my
rhythm a few times.
"Pay
attention, boy. You've gotta work for it," Justin said with his typical
"amused Dom" tone, the friendly taunt that showed he got off on my
predicament.
Meanwhile, in
contrast to the delight of the sensuous spanking, my unattended boner was
threatening to become painful. I probed the surrounding space, not expecting to
find relief, but I had to try.
"And no
coming without permission," Paul reminded me. He gave me a few hard swats.
Willow by Lee Brazil
Blurb:
Making
decisions is sometimes difficult for Willow Shaw, but loving Cade Lawson comes
easily. Too bad Cade regards him as too young to know his own mind.
As a favor
for an old friend, cop Cade Lawson is keeping a watchful eye on his young
neighbor, Willow Shaw. He'd thought that would involve some hanging out,
watching movies and heart-to-heart talks on college life.
But the Will
who moved into his apartment building wasn't the same little boy who'd
worshipped his father's friend. No, this Willow is rowdy, defiant, challenging,
and alluring. He stirs feelings that Cade is uncomfortable with.
Excerpt:
"Your
dad asked me to keep an eye on you, Will. That's not something I take
lightly." Look, not lust. The reminder was timely. When Matt Shaw had
requested the favor, Cade had pictured himself and Will watching action movies,
hanging out and having fun, much as they had when the kid was younger. Reality
had been far different.
Will snorted.
"Right. I forgot. Well, I was seventeen then, and maybe he had some
excuse, but I'm not a kid anymore. It's been eighteen months of fun with you
peering over my shoulder, but I'm nineteen now and I don't need you looking out
for me anymore."
Cade reached
out a hand to clasp Will's slender shoulder, but the young man flinched back,
almost hiding behind the door. He shook off his disappointment. Will just
didn't like him anymore; he had to get over the loss of affection. "You're
still young, Will, and since your Dad can't be here to guide you, he asked me
to keep an eye on you because he loves you."
"Yeah.
He fucking loves me so much, where is he?"
Sadly, Cade
shook his head. He clenched his fist around his keys in frustration. This
wasn't the first time they'd had this argument, and probably wouldn't be the
last. "He's working a lot of extra hours to pay for your college
fees."
"Tell
me, Cade, when's the last time you spoke to my dad?"
Guilty heat
burned his neck. He'd spoken to Matt Shaw just yesterday. The man called
regularly. Cade considered him a good friend. "Will, your dad and I have
been friends a long time. We speak frequently, and it's not always about you,
huh?"
"Figures.
You know when I spoke to him last? I can't remember. It's my nineteenth
birthday, today, Cade. This is my party. You'd think he could call today,
wouldn't you?"
Damn Matt Shaw. Helplessly, Cade shrugged.
"Happy Birthday, Will. I'm sorry to disrupt your party, but I've had a
long night and I have to work in the morning. I just need peace and quiet and
sleep."
Footsteps in
the gravel behind him drew Will's eye and he smirked knowingly at Cade.
"Here's your boyfriend. Looks like your long night isn't over yet. Keep
the noise down, you two. I have an exam in the morning and..." He leaned
forward confidingly. "You may not realize this, but you're fucking loud
when you fuck, dude."
