Cordon Bleu-trained chef Riley Emerson arrives in Aspen, Colorado for a summer at the best restaurant in town, only to discover his jerk of a boyfriend has dumped him, leaving his heart and his plans in tatters. Doubting himself and longing for a change of pace, he takes a low-paying position at the Rocking Z guest ranch, though he expects nature up close and personal won’t hold a candle to his exciting Paris lifestyle.

When born-and-bred cattle rancher Colby Zane spots a newcomer being pawed at by a passel of horny cowboys at Aspen’s Club Rawhide, he rushes in, throws the guy over his shoulder, and rescues him. Sober, Riley Emerson is sweet and sexy, but not interested in more than a one-night stand. Still, Colby’s over the moon when Riley later arrives as the new cook on his family’s ranch.

Fitz is hot for Colby, and he won’t sign on the dotted line without some very personal incentives.

Microchips and Purity: Book One

It is the year 2441. A deadly virus has swept over the planet, short-circuiting cybernetic implants, killing billions. In the aftermath, the newly formed state of Eden is led by the one newborn that survived that dreadful day, Uriel Noah of the House of Zion—the Guiding Light. Unbeknownst to all, Uriel lives in a gilded cage, deprived of basic affection, used as a pawn, craving freedom and love.

Cyborg Raze Hartman is the leader of the resistance. His kind—cyborgs with a high cybernetic coefficient—were hit hardest by the virus, the few survivors crippled and enslaved by the purist system. Struggling to keep his father alive, Raze resorts to investigating the Guiding Light, the symbol of cyborg oppression. What he finds changes his life, and Uriel’s.

After sneaking into a purist ceremony, Raze sees past Uriel’s facade of strength and aloofness. He sees the lonely young man behind the mask of the Guiding Light. The instantaneous attraction between them is literally electric. But a chasm separates them, as wide as the difference between flesh and metal, and the secrets of Uriel’s past may be the undoing of them all.

William Lyons Vergangenheit hat ihn in eine Rolle gezwängt, die nicht seiner Persönlichkeit entspricht. Als er die Fassade nicht mehr aufrechterhalten kann, trennt er sich von seiner Frau und nimmt eine Stelle als Hausmeister für ein altes Gebäude an, das schon seit Jahren leer steht. Über mehr als hundert Jahre war die psychiatrische Anstalt von Jelley’s Valley die größte Einrichtung ihrer Art in Kalifornien. William hofft, dass er hier die Zeit und Ruhe findet, endlich seine Dissertation zum Abschluss zu bringen und seine Scheidung abzuwarten. Als er in der kleinen Stadt ankommt, lernt er Colby Anderson kennen, der den örtlichen Lebensmittelladen betreibt und sich um das Postamt kümmert. Colby ist, ganz im Gegensatz zu William, ein lebensfroher und liebenswerter junger Mann. Und er ist unverkennbar schwul. Obwohl William sich durch Colbys extravagantes Verhalten zunächst abgestoßen fühlt, lernt er ihre neue Freundschaft mit der Zeit doch zu schätzen, und er nimmt Colbys Angebot an, sich von ihm in die Freuden des schwulen Sex einführen zu lassen.

Williams Selbstverständnis wird auf den Kopf gestellt, als er eine Blechdose findet, die seit den 1940er Jahren in einer Wand des Asyls verborgen war. Die Dose enthält Briefe, die im Geheimen von einem Patienten namens Bill verfasst wurden, der wegen seiner Homosexualität hier eingeliefert wurde. William fühlt sich durch die Briefe unmittelbar angesprochen und beginnt, sich für Bills Schicksal zu interessieren. William hofft, dass die über siebzig Jahre alten Briefe und Colbys Unterstützung ihm dabei helfen können, sein wahres Ich zu finden.

Hellsinger: Book Two

Paranormal investigator Wolf Kincaid knows what his foot tastes like.

Mostly because he stuck it firmly in his mouth when his lover, Tristan Pryce, accidentally drugged him with a batch of psychotropic baklava. Needing to patch things up between them, Wolf drags Tristan to San Luis Obispo, hoping Tristan’s medium ability can help evict a troublesome spirit haunting an old farmhouse.

With Wolf’s sister handling Hoxne Grange’s spectral visitors, Tristan finds himself in the unique position of being able to leave home for the first time in forever, but Wolf’s roughshod treatment is the least of his worries. Tristan’s ad-hoc portal for passing spirits seems to be getting fewer and fewer guests, and despite his concern he’s broken his home, Tristan agrees to help Wolf’s cousin, Sey, kick her poltergeist to the proverbial curb.

San Luis Obispo brings its own bushel of troubles. Tristan’s ghost whispering skill is challenged not only by a terrorizing haunting but also by Wolf’s skeptical older cousin, Cin. Bookended by a pair of aggressive Kincaids, Tristan soon finds himself in a spectral battle that threatens not only his sanity but also his relationship with Wolf, the first man he’s ever loved.
