10 year celebration of being published – 2019

Under the Christmas lights strung outside a snowy Minnesota cabin, Ryker and Jacob face a future where nothing will be the same again.

Fortunate timing means that Ryker and Jacob can spend a few days together over Christmas in a cabin on the family farm. What’s better is that Scott and Ben are coming as well, with Hayne and Ethan in tow. Ryker can’t imagine a better way to spend time with the man he loves, and the friends he misses, and somehow he knows that this Christmas will be the best one ever. Hockey on a frozen pond, kisses under Christmas lights, and sharing time with Jacob are the best gifts he could ever receive.

Long distance relationships are brutal, Jacob can attest to that fact. So, when Ryker gets a few days off over the Raptors’ Christmas break, the hard-working Minnesota farmer is beyond thrilled. When they find out that their buddies from Owatonna U. are making the trip as well, the holidays are looking to be just about perfect. Jacob has a question for Ryker burning in his heart, and he isn’t asking for much—just a few fun-filled days with old friends and a yes from the man of his dreams.

Recensione Il Natale del Texas

R.J. Scott ci riporta in Texas dai personaggi che abbiamo imparato a conoscere e amare, le festività si avvicinano e insieme a loro sopraggiungono anche alcuni ostacoli da superare, ma l’amicizia e l’amore possono fare miracoli e donare un sereno Natale a tutti.

Quando leggo di Jack e Riley mi si scalda sempre il cuore: la loro armonia, la costante fiducia reciproca e la complicità che traspare da ogni gesto sono tutto quello che vorremmo leggere in ogni storia d’amore degna di questo nome.

Come sempre molto sexy e frequenti sono le scene hot.

Layton vuole il successo, Adler desidera una famiglia. Come può l’amore rendere possibili entrambe le cose?

Layton Foxx lavora sodo per ciò che ha realizzato. L’appartamento, la carriera, la possibilità di farsi un nome e lasciare il segno… deve tutto ai sacrifici che ha fatto. Con una tragedia alle spalle, non desidera e non ha bisogno dell’amore. Poi conosce Adler Lockhart, estroversa e sexy ala degli Harrisburg Railers, e di colpo non può sfuggire all’amore nemmeno volendo.

A Adler Lockhart ogni cosa è sempre stata servita su un piatto d’argento. Macchine, ville, soldi, la retta nelle migliori università private della Ivy League. L’unica cosa che gli manca sono dei genitori che si prendano cura di lui, o l’amore di un brav’uomo. Poi Layton entra nella sua vita privilegiata e gli mostra come può essere il vero amore.

Josh è a metà divorzio, in lotta per la custodia di suo figlio e in fuga da un matrimonio basato su bugie. In un bar la sera prima delle udienze finali incontra una prostituta con un corpo fatto di peccato.

Jeté à la rue pour Noël

Noël est une époque de partage - mais que feriez-vous si tout le monde s'en foutait?

Pour Zachary Weston Noël signifie dormir sur un banc du cimetière, dans le froid et la neige, sans perspective d’avenir. Jeté hors de son domicile parce qu’il est gay, il est seul et sans argent et n’a, apparemment, nulle part où aller.

Jusqu'à ce qu'un étranger lui montre que certaines personnes ne s’en foutent pas du tout.

Ben Hamilton est un bleu chez les flics de sa petite ville natale de province. Le soir du réveillon de Noël, il trouve un jeune, fraichement débarqué de la ville, qui a été mis à la porte et qui dort sur un banc du cimetière de l’église. Peut-il être celui qui donnera à Zachary son propre miracle de Noël?

Il n'a pas de travail, pas d'argent et doit compter sur son amie Amelia pour un job et une petite chambre. Il a besoin d'un sacré miracle de Noël pour que cette saison soit autre chose qu'un gâchis total.

Puis Daniel revient dans sa vie et soudain, tout lui paraît possible. Non seulement, Daniel est toujours l'homme que Christian veut plus que tout, mais cette fois-ci, Chris pourrait peut-être bien avouer à Daniel ce qu'il ressent.

The greatest journey isn’t from England to the States, it’s the one that two men take on the way to find each other.

Sebastian Brown is on a mission to rescue the Arizona Raptors and a vow he made to a friend in college. Either that or he’s on vacation. He’s not entirely sure that he’s made up his mind yet. Either way, traveling from England, to the arid desert of Arizona isn’t exactly a picnic, particularly with the doubts and worries he takes with him. He’s turned even the worst of companies around, but faced with the challenge of improving the reputation of a hockey team that everyone seems to hate, he knows his work is cut out for him.

Focus is key, but that is easier said than done when Seb is sent into a tailspin by the intriguing Alejandro. Seb’s entire marketing plan hinges on making Alex a poster boy for equality and fair play. But with Alex’s utter dedication to the game, and his dark secretive eyes, the gorgeous Alex is stubborn, opinionated, doesn’t want any part of being the team focus, and worst of all, doesn't appear to like Seb at all. It takes everything that Seb has to keep his hands off of Alex, but things get out of hand and Seb’s life might never be the same again.

Alejandro Garcia has had to work hard to get where he’s at. Born to Mexican immigrants, his siblings and himself have never had it easy in this new country their parents dreamed of calling home. A native son of Arizona, Alex has always been the odd man out on the ice but he’s not going to let a stupid thing like his heritage get in the way of his dreams. He’s now a Raptor and he plans to put all that training and collegiate hockey experience to good use. Working hard comes naturally to him. It’s something his parents have instilled in him from the time he was a toddler. Being one of a handful of Latino hockey players makes him strive for success with even more determination. His first pro season has had some ups but a lot more downs, but Alex is one stubborn young man and failure is not an option.

As the Raptors struggle to rebuild not only their team but their core values, Alex finds himself drawn to one of the owner’s friends, a tall, lanky Brit with the face of an angel and an accent and attitude that bewitches and befuddles him. Sebastian is everything he thought he would never be attracted to but he can’t push the sexy, older, fun-loving man out of his thoughts. If ever there were a man he would not be able to take home to his parents - not that he can bring a man home since he is deeply closeted - it’s Sebastian, but desire knows no socioeconomic, age, or international borders. The heart wants what the heart wants and Alejandro’s wants Sebastian.

Ancora abbattuto per l’abbandono da parte dell’uomo che credeva di amare, cosa farà Ash quando si trova da solo con la figlioletta appena nata?

Determinato a costruirsi una famiglia e a concludere il percorso di gravidanza surrogata che aveva cominciato insieme al suo ex, quando Ash porta a casa la neonata Mia si ripromette di diventare il miglior papà del mondo. Niente può distoglierlo dal suo dovere autoimposto, nemmeno l’improvviso e vivo interesse che sembra nutrire verso il nuovo vicino. Tra la sfida di resistere all’attrazione sempre più forte che lo trascina verso Sean e vecchie e dolorose dispute familiari, Ash dovrà imparare che l’amore è l’unica cosa che davvero conta.

Quando il medico del pronto soccorso Sean si trasferisce insieme ai suoi amici nella villetta accanto a quella di Ash, giovane padre single e molto sexy, l’amore lo investe con una forza tale da lasciarlo senza fiato. Insieme i due uomini trascorrono momenti impregnati di sensualità, ma Ash è chiaro fin dall’inizio: nel suo cuore non c’è spazio per nessuno tranne la figlia. Allora perché Sean sembra essere l’unico che riesce a vedere quanto in realtà l’uomo sia spaventato, e come farà a dimostrargli che il suo unico desiderio è che loro tre diventino una famiglia?

Trent Hanson est un phénomène du patinage artistique, adoré par des millions de personnes à travers le monde. Toute sa vie a été consacrée au sport qu’il aime, alors même que ledit sport – et sa propre famille – lui tourne le dos. Depuis la patinoire d’entraînement jusqu’aux Jeux Olympiques et au salon de ses parents, Trent se bat contre les intimidateurs et les homophobes pour devenir l’homme gay et fier qu’il est. Toutefois, les combats incessants le laissent fatigué, solitaire et nerveux. Ses craintes devront être mises de côté lorsqu’il est embauché pour passer l’été à travailler avec l’équipe de hockey sur glace des Harrisburg Railers. Qui aurait pu deviner que l’homme à qui le destin a décidé de le jumeler n’est autre que Dieter Lehmann, autoproclamé dieu du sexe, un homme qui semble avoir tout à prouver, sans oublier de mentionner qu’il ne se soucie pas de savoir qui il blesse pour parvenir à ses fins.

Son ex le fait chanter et il est sur le point de renoncer à tout cela.

A cop bound by the law. An ex-con shackled by his past. One stolen kiss that changes everything.

Leo Byrne has never questioned his place in the world—adopted into the sprawling Byrnes family, surrounded by love, and dedicated to his job as a cop. Romance has never been on his radar, but watching his best friends build new families sparks a quiet longing for something more. When he shares a kiss with Jason Banks at an event honoring the former convict’s heroism, it should mean nothing. But when Jason and his daughter have nowhere left to turn, Leo steps in to help, knowing full well that taking them into his home is a risk. Falling for the guarded ex-con? That’s a danger Leo never saw coming.

Jason made a deal to protect his daughter and paid for it with years behind bars. Fighting wildfires as a convict volunteer gave him purpose, but now that he’s free, he has nothing—no home, no job, and no way to shield Daisy from the man who still sees her as leverage. The only safe place left is in the arms of the cop, who shouldn’t want anything to do with him. But Jason knows the truth has a way of destroying everything in its path, and if Leo discovers the secrets he’s still keeping, Jason might lose the only chance he has at love—and the only family he’s ever wanted.

Love isn’t about strength or perfection—it’s about finding the one who sees your heart.

Firefighter Eric dedicates his life to protecting California’s grasslands, standing on the front lines with his CalFire team. Steady under pressure, fiercely loyal to his friends, and hopelessly attached to his fire truck, he has everything he needs—except love. When he meets Brady at a friend’s wedding, it’s lust at first sight. Shy, slender, and completely unlike the type Eric usually goes for, Brady intrigues him. But Eric isn’t looking for someone to put him on a pedestal as the big, strong firefighter. He longs for an equal—a partner who sees beyond his strength to the soft heart beneath.

Brady’s carefully constructed life is turned upside down when a tragic accident leaves him as the sole guardian of his niece and nephew. His Developmental Coordination Disorder makes everyday tasks a challenge, but he refuses to let it define him—or stop him from giving Maddie and Lucas the home they deserve. Attending a wedding is already outside his comfort zone, but meeting Eric—a towering man with a gentle voice and an instinct for chivalry—shakes him even more. Falling for Eric is easy; believing a man like him could want someone like Brady is the hard part. But if Brady can silence his fears long enough to take a chance, he just might discover that love doesn’t require perfection—only courage.

When opposites attract, this bottom of the league team will never be the same again.

A stipulation in his father's will forces Mark back into the arms of a family that disowned him, and leaves him one-third owner of a hockey team facing financial ruin. He doesn't even watch hockey, let alone like it, and wants nothing more than to head back to New York. Then there's the new coach, a stubborn, opinionated, irritating man with superiority issues and questionable music taste. Butting heads with Rowen becomes the new normal, but it comes with passionate debate and an all-consuming lust.

Challenged to rebuild one of the worst teams in the league into a future cup contender, Rowen can't pass up the opportunity. Never in his twenty years of hockey has he ever seen a team managed so badly or coached players overflowing with resentment and bigotry. Yet there's something about this team and this city that compels him to roll up his sleeves and start dismantling. If only Mark, one of three siblings who now own the Raptors, wasn't so damned rock-headed yet so damned appealing his job might be easier. It doesn't look like either is willing to give in, but one night in a no-tell motel changes everything.

Bodyguard Max Connery wird grundsätzlich für jünger gehalten, als er ist, was ihn manchmal nervt. Es ist allerdings perfekt, um als Prinz Luciens Bodyguard zu arbeiten. Der ist zwar nur ein paar Jahre jünger als Max, studiert aber noch an der Cardiff University. Max kann sich ohne Probleme unter die Studenten mischen, um immer an Luciens Seite zu sein.

Prinz Lucien will keinen Bodyguard. Die Briefe, die er erhält, sind nicht wirklich bedrohlich. Allerdings kann er sich auch Schlimmeres vorstellen, als ständig von Max bewacht zu werden. Vor allem, als sich Max dem Uni-Schwimmteam anschließen muss, um in seiner Nähe bleiben zu können. Einem durchtrainierten, nassen Bodyguard zuzusehen, macht die ganze Situation wesentlich erträglicher.

Doch auch wenn die Briefe nicht bedrohlich wirken, verschiedene Vorkommnisse sind angsteinflößend, und Max muss seiner Rolle als Bodyguard gerecht werden, um Lucien zu beschützen.

A 9,000-word short story written for the 2017 Rainbow Advent Calendar 

A stalker threatens Ben, the lines between his hockey career and his love for Ethan blur, and abruptly their future seems like an impossible dream.

Senior year is here, and everything is on the line. Benoit’s time to shine in the crease is now, and he’s going to do everything he can to make sure those professional scouts take notice. He’s earned a great reputation for his skills in the net, and his laid-back demeanor is his key to maintaining his cool when things get heated in the goal crease.

As the Eagles roar into a new season, Ben’s laser-sharp focus is shattered by a stalker who threatens his life, and his attraction to Ethan Girard, the team’s new defensive consultant. Trying his best to ignore the budding friendship that’s taking a hard, fast turn into something far more passionate, Ben is determined to keep his mind on the sport he loves and not let his feelings for the handsome older man creep into his performance. But love, like hockey, is wildly unpredictable, and soon Ben finds that he’s unable to distance himself from Ethan who is slowly and surely working himself into his heart.

Famed Boston defenseman, Ethan Girard, isn’t stupid. Celebrating his thirty-second birthday in the emergency room after breaking his leg, and with a warning that healing will be a long process, he knows he has to think about his future. He was drafted at eighteen, and he’s never known anything but hockey, but with no contract in place yet for the new season he considers that maybe it’s time for him to hang up his skates for good.

Volunteering to help out with the Owatonna Eagles fills his time, but from the moment he lays eyes on goalie Ben, he knows his world will never be the same again. Falling in lust is as easy as stealing his first kiss, but Ben refuses to engage. Has Ethan finally met his match?

His agent suggests a way out of the mess, and he jumps at the chance to make things right by pretending he’s in a committed, loving relationship with the tall, dark, sexy boyfriend for hire, Kaden. Only, he never counted on the impact Kaden would have on his life or his career.

When Kaden Moore’s next assignment lands in his lap, he’s expecting nothing more than a self-centered celebrity who’s messed up. Kaden’s new role is that of Hollywood A-lister Ryan Levesque’s boyfriend, a PR stunt concocted by his agents to restore the actor’s dented popularity. Kaden is aware of the video that surfaced from Ryan’s past, and though it raises questions about what kind of man Ryan is, it’s not any of Kaden’s business. Kaden has been pretending his entire life and knows he can show the troublesome actor a thing or two about the world beyond the Hollywood bubble. But maybe Kaden isn’t as clued up as he thinks, especially when it comes to the heart and love.
