Alick
Mates. As a human, Alick’s never been jealous of flying or magic, but mates…well, that’s worth a bit of envy and a dash of bad decisions. But with magic in the air and a mate who might be under a compulsion, all he can do is pray to the ancestors that they haven’t killed his potential mate…or worse.

Grady
Troublemakers. Grady’s always known his mate is out there somewhere waiting for him, but what he never expected is to be put under a compulsion or to find his mate in the strangest town he’s ever been to. But with the magic of mates and an adorable little who needs a Daddy and a bit of confidence, anything is possible.

If a spell can find wallets, keys, and phones, surely it can find where Alick’s mate has wandered off to, right?

Kenton

How soon is too soon to let your uniqueness shine?

Kenton doesn’t have the best track record of getting the timing right but he really wants to get it perfect this time because he knows he’s not only met Mr. Right, he’s met the Handler of his dreams. The only problem? Bane doesn’t seem to know what that is.

Is there ever a right time to tell your vanilla boyfriend that he’d be a wonderful Handler?

Bane

How soon is too soon to ask someone if they know they’re not vanilla?

Bouncy, adorable, and slightly naughty, Kenton is everything Bane has always wanted in a partner. The only problem is that Bane isn’t as vanilla as he seems, but he isn’t sure how to bring that up to the possibly confused Kenton.

Is there ever a right time to ask your vanilla boyfriend if he’s ever thought about exploring puppy play?

Ender

No. It means nothing. I’m just curious. It’s certainly not worth blowing up my life over, no matter what the crazy man thinks. Watching the pups is fun. A pastime. They’re cute. I’m not imagining having a tail. I don’t need a Handler. There’s no way I want to curl up on Leif.

There’s no way he’d let me, right?

Leif

Wow. He wants to what? He wants me to do what? Well, friends help friends. That’s what best friends and roommates are for. The pups are cute. He’s cute. He’s nuts but I can see why he’d like a tail. But with me? There’s no way he’d want me to do that. Does he realize what would happen if we did?

Just because I like control doesn’t mean I’d like that…right?

Love and tails are in the air when two Peeping Toms get more than they bargained for…friends at Leashes & Lace and a new way to see what was there all along.

Bennett knows traveling on his own won’t always go smoothly, but when he desperately needs to get away from his parents, seeing the world sounds like the best idea…until he gets stranded in London’s Heathrow Airport. When a freak snowstorm leaves him without a plan, he calls a friend who always has the answers…Skyler.

In walks Daddy to the rescue.

When the kinkiest phone tree ever leaves Robert searching for a stranded little in the crowded airport, the sexy Scottish Dom isn’t sure what he’s gotten himself into. But when meeting the sweet little leaves him with more questions than answers, all he knows is that he needs to help and he has to show the sweet Benny that he isn’t alone.

When it seems like everything is going wrong, sometimes fate steps in and sends a Daddy to the rescue.

A volte bisogna solo inseguire quello che si vuole… anche se ciò significa sottomettersi.

Asa ha sempre saputo di volere un Master da servire e amare… ma trovare qualcuno di cui fidarsi si è rivelato il suo più grande ostacolo. Non fa che chiedersi perché mai nessuno abbia più pazienza… fino a quando non vede l’uomo dall’altra parte della stanza al club Bound & Controlled. All’improvviso tutto ciò che deve sapere è la sua identità, affascinato da quel viso dall’aria familiare e lo sguardo irresistibile.

Quando un ritorno dal passato appare nel posto più inaspettato, Stuart sa che deve prendere diverse decisioni. Asa ha sempre visto le cose in modo un po’ diverso, e lui non riesce a immaginare di lasciarlo da solo a capire come funzioni il club o quel loro stile di vita. Ma è davvero il tipo giusto per quel dolce ragazzo dal passato travagliato?

A volte ci vogliono due anime leggermente spezzate per formare un amore perfetto.

Per anni, mantenere un tetto sopra la testa della sua famiglia è stato l’unico obiettivo di Landon. Del resto impegnarsi tanto e svolgere diversi lavori contemporaneamente è ciò che ha tenuto tutti loro a galla, ma questo non gli ha lasciato molto tempo per scrutare dentro di sé alla ricerca di ciò che desidera o per costruirsi una vita sociale. Però, adesso che le finanze sono al sicuro e lui può finalmente avere una propria routine si chiede una cosa… E ora?

Così serio, il corpo ricoperto di tatuaggi e impreziosito da piccoli gioielli in posti allettanti, non ha ancora chiaro in mente ciò che desidera, non sa nemmeno se è un sub o meno… Eppure qualcosa di lui attira Porter.

Porter, il cui mondo è precipitato in un limbo dopo la vendita della sua attività tanto da non essere più certo di cosa desiderare per il futuro. D’altronde dedicarsi all’azienda è stato sempre il suo unico obiettivo. E adesso, che tutto ciò che gli è rimasto è una vita vuota e troppo tempo a disposizione, si chiede una cosa… E ora?

Nel momento in cui due uomini si trovano a un bivio forse può essere naturale per loro unirsi per scoprire finalmente cosa siano veramente destinati a trovare nella vita…
L’amore.

Garrett era a un punto di rottura.

Doveva esserci un limite alle volte in cui si poteva vedere qualcuno da cui si era… attratti, ma per cui certamente non si aveva una cotta. I Dom non avevano cotte. Specialmente per un cliente che con tutta probabilità non era neppure gay. Regola 101: non flirtare con un cliente.

Wyatt stava perdendo il senno.

Nascondere la propria ossessione stava diventando sempre più difficile. Tutto ciò che desiderava era inginocchiarsi di fronte a Garrett e chiamarlo Master, ma il sexy agente assicurativo sembrava non accorgersi mai di lui. Notava solo il nervoso, timido imprenditore che si recava troppo spesso in agenzia.

Quando i due uomini continuano a non vedere quello che è proprio davanti ai loro occhi, ci vuole un intervento della famiglia per evidenziare l’ovvio. Che sono fatti l’uno per l’altro.

Non si trattava di stalking.

Lane aveva fatto del suo meglio per essere nel posto giusto al momento giusto, per sbirciare il ragazzo sexy e tatuato prendere il caffè quel pomeriggio. Quel fusto, per quanto Lane volesse immaginarlo in altri modi, doveva essere etero.

Eppure, aveva uno stalker.

Wilder non era sicuro di cosa avrebbe fatto riguardo al suo ammiratore di quel pomeriggio. Quando aveva sentito per caso due uomini che parlavano di lui, avrebbe dovuto ignorarli o trovare un modo per far sapere a quel dolce e timido ragazzo che non era interessato? Perché lui era etero, giusto?
Quando un ragazzo non è timido come sembra e l’altro non è così etero come pensa, allora le cose potrebbero funzionare.

Eli sa chi è ed è stanco di nasconderlo.

Esausto e al limite della sopportazione, Eli non sa più come gestire il segreto con la sua famiglia. È arrivato al punto di perdere se stesso. Quando Elijah, l’etero e noioso uomo d’affari per i suoi, ed Eli, il blogger e il modello di lingerie per tutti gli altri, iniziano a scontrarsi, si rende conto di quanto tutto ciò stia influenzando ogni aspetto della sua vita… specialmente con Roman, il focoso fotografo che lo fa impazzire.

Roman è stanco di follia e prime donne, anche se sono sexy e gli fanno un certo effetto.

Una brutta rottura ha lasciato Roman scottato e scettico riguardo a un nuovo inizio, soprattutto con un ragazzino che si nutre di drammi. Con il conto in banca e la pazienza prosciugati, Roman si sente messo alle strette. Leashes and Lace avrebbe dovuto essere un nuovo inizio per lui, ma con Eli che si mette in mostra a ogni occasione, non sa se ha trovato un nuovo percorso di carriera o se ha preso la peggiore decisione della sua vita.

Quando non è possibile uccidersi a vicenda, c’è solo un modo per liberare tutta la passione che divampa tra loro due, ma il sesso non può risolvere tutto… o sì?

Houston sa chi è… ma la maggior parte degli uomini sembra non capire.

Un dominante a cui piace indossare mutandine e indumenti di pizzo non è ciò che la maggior parte dei sottomessi si aspetta, quando guarda Houston. I dominanti forti e robusti dovrebbero apparire minacciosi, vestiti in pelle, e non con addosso del pizzo sexy. Quando lunghi sguardi e un bizzarro incontro con il suo nuovo coinquilino gli fanno pensare che potrebbe esserci qualche interesse da parte di Reece, Houston non sa come comportarsi. Reece è etero, giusto?

Reece sa chi è… ma la maggior parte degli uomini sembra non capire.

Reece sa di essere bisessuale da tanto tempo, ma i dominanti che ha incontrato sembrano incapaci di accettarlo. Quando il suo nuovo coinquilino fa sì che il suo lato da sottomesso venga a galla e implori di essere sculacciato, non sa come comportarsi. Houston dà ordini come un dominante esperto, ma Reece correrà il rischio di mettersi in imbarazzo e di essere cacciato di casa?

Quando due uomini testardi rifiutano di riconoscere ciò che è proprio davanti ai loro occhi, potrebbe esserci bisogno di una spinta, per convincerli a vedere quella verità.

Daniel pensava che Easton fosse dolce, sexy e che nascondesse qualcosa. Non sapeva cosa, però. Dopo nove mesi di appuntamenti, era pronto a portare le cose al livello successivo, ma l’evasività di Easton rappresentava un ostacolo tra di loro.

Easton aveva un segreto. Non avrebbe voluto che il loro rapporto arrivasse così lontano senza averlo confessato a Daniel, ma temeva che ormai fosse troppo tardi. Come poteva essersi innamorato di qualcuno senza averglielo detto? Easton sapeva che Daniel non lo avrebbe ferito di proposito, ma non era sicuro della sua reazione quando avrebbe scoperto cosa stava nascondendo.

Non tutti potevano capire e accettare che il loro fidanzato aveva un debole per il raso e il pizzo.

Manchmal ist das Beste, was passieren kann, versetzt zu werden.

Zwei Männer sitzen in einer Bar … das sollte eigentlich nur der Anfang eines Witzes sein, nicht der Beginn einer perfekten Beziehung. Aber als der selbstbewusste Ryker und der neugierige Corey feststellen, dass sie mehr gemeinsam haben, als nur versetzt worden zu sein, fliegen die Funken.

Nachdem ein paar – zu viele – Schirmchendrinks Coreys Lippen gelockert haben, ist sein faszinierender neuer Freund mehr als bereit, all seine Fragen zu beantworten und ihm dabei zu helfen, zu verstehen, warum Daddys das Beste sind, was sich ein schüchterner Sub jemals wünschen könnte.

Keith hatte nie vor, seinem Freund von seinem Interesse an Ageplay zu erzählen. Es gab einfach ein paar Dinge, von denen er nicht glaubte, dass der geradlinige Blake sie verstehen würde. Es war besser, es für sich zu behalten und die Beziehung zu dem sexy, wenn auch unscheinbaren Mann zu schätzen. Oder?

Blake sieht sich selbst nicht als kinky – zumindest nicht, bis sein Freund ihm nach einem berüchtigten Vorfall mit verbranntem Geburtstagskuchen und etwas zu viel Alkohol sein Interesse an BDSM gesteht. Es war klar, dass Keith dachte, Blake würde es nicht verstehen. Aber es war für ihn wirklich nicht so schwer zu verstehen, wie Keith es sich ausmalte. Alles, was sein süßer, überarbeiteter Freund wollte, war eine Möglichkeit, sich zu entspannen und alles loszulassen. Oder?

Wenn der eine Freund ein Geheimnis hat und der andere die Definition von Vanilla ist, kann es dann wirklich funktionieren, wenn sie ihre Zehen in Kink eintauchen?

College was supposed to be about figuring out careers and goals, not what turned you on in the bedroom.

When a class project pushes a confused Adrian in an interesting new direction, he’s not sure what to do. His focus in college has always been on grades, but he doesn’t know if he’s ready to do what it takes to get an A in his Human Sexuality course.

Watching Adrian stumble into the world of puppy play and kink shouldn’t interest Owen as much as it does. The fact that they don’t really know each other doesn’t matter, not when they’re technically too close to even think about one another that way. But something won’t let Owen walk away from a floundering Adrian.

When an embarrassing situation meets a sarcastic remark, sparks fly in the most unusual way.

Aww. I had the best Owner ever. Now I just had to make sure he knew I belonged to him and wasn’t on loan like some kind of library book. – Emerson

Bouncing through life, the only things Emerson knows for sure are that he has the best job ever and one day he’s going to meet the Dom of his dreams. Working at Leashes & Lace has given him a fascinating job and wonderful friends, and now it’s given him Luca…the corset designer who is meant to own him.

Hiding from everything he knows he shouldn’t want, Luca has spent a lifetime building up his business and fighting against his fantasies. Funneling his passion into his work, Luca’s become one of the most sought-after designers in the country and a desperately lonely Dom…until a mesmerizing model sweeps into his life and past every defense.

Sparks and corsets fly when a wickedly sweet doll meets the Owner of his dreams, but even with his stubbornly sexy Owner dragging his feet every step of the way, Emerson knows fairy-tale romances like this always end with happily ever after.

Sometimes it takes a loved one to point out the obvious before we see it.

Loren knows he isn’t the most grown-up adult out there—though anyone who makes educational video games for kids can’t be too boring. Most guys he’s dated haven’t understood, but Gordon does. Loren’s loving boyfriend makes him feel special and cared for…but lately something’s changed.

Maybe leaving out crayons and buying dinosaur chicken nuggets wasn’t the best way to get Loren’s attention, but it worked.

Gordon knows Loren didn’t have the most emotionally supportive childhood, but the smart, funny man has grown into an excitable, loving boyfriend. However, when Gordon connects the dots and realizes there’s more to Loren’s desire to be young at heart than meets the eye, he knows it’s time to show Loren that sometimes being a grown-up means embracing your little side.

Keith never planned on telling his boyfriend about his interest in age play. There were just some things he didn’t think the strait-laced Blake would understand. It was better to keep it quiet and appreciate the relationship he had with the sexy, albeit vanilla man. Right?

Blake didn’t see himself as vanilla—at least not until his boyfriend fessed up to his interest in BDSM after a little too much alcohol. It was clear Keith thought Blake wouldn’t get it, but it really wasn’t that difficult to grasp. All his sweet, overworked boyfriend wanted was a way to relax and let everything go. Right?

When one boyfriend has a secret, and the other is the definition of vanilla, can dipping their toes into kink really work?

Payton’s finally found a job that he loves, coworkers who aren’t bad-crazy, and space from his family…so taking a chance on anything that might mess with his newfound order is out of the question.

Keeping the status quo going is his primary goal in life and not even the handsome baker with the crazy family is going to change his mind. Well, hopefully, because the baker down the street is sweet, built, and naughtier than Payton could ever imagine.

Benjamin Xavier Becker—aka the baker’s son—realized young that the only way to keep his sanity was to set firm boundaries with his family and not tell them anything about his personal life.

Everything from the name he actually prefers to his passion for being a Handler is off-limits to his crazy parents, but he’s come to realize he should’ve set the bar higher. Sanity isn’t enough any longer. He’s just not sure how to change that until a cautious man with a blush on his cheeks and a wag in his step comes into his life and gives him the push he’s been waiting for.

Sometimes strength comes from within and sometimes it comes from the most unexpected places.

Nathan wasn’t sure why people were so obsessed with dating and sex. Sure it probably felt good but he just couldn’t figure out what all the fuss was about. It might have helped if he knew what he was looking for. But with so many labels and options, he just wasn’t sure. It seemed so easy to everyone else, but to him, it felt like something was missing.

Gabriel thought Nathan was absolutely perfect. Sweet, funny, sexy, and completely confused about what he desired—but absolutely perfect. He wanted to help Nathan. Would his sexy roommate be open to something that was completely outside of the box or would Gabriel ruin their relationship before it even started?

Now what? Dr. Miles Sheppard has been focusing one goal for so long nothing else mattered, including his personal life. Unfortunately, now that he’s crossed the finish line, he’s lost. Gaining his doctorate should have been the hard part of his career, but figuring out what to do next might drive him crazy.

Now what? Sean’s been watching the sexy doctor for months. But when the quiet cutie dozes off in the middle of the crowded bar, it might be time to step in and actually talk to him. Sean’s not shy, but he knows he’s not the most traditional man. It will take more than a sweet temperament and an understanding smile to accept the unconventional relationship Sean is looking for.

When an exhausted doctor meets a bartender who’s more than meets the eye, they’re set for a match made in heaven…as long as heaven includes binkies and bedtime stories.

Zac has a secret…and he’s worried about what his husband would think.

When you’ve been married for years, you aren’t supposed to pop up with a new and interesting kink. At least, that’s what Zac keeps telling himself. His husband Hunter is sweet, loving, and understanding, but he hadn’t signed up for anything like what Zac wants to explore.

Zac has a secret…but Hunter isn’t worried…just confused.

Zac is a constant source of surprise and humor for Hunter. But he’s been acting even more interesting than usual, and Hunter has a feeling it’s time to see what his sexy husband is up to. When he begins to understand what Zac is holding back, Hunter has a decision to make.

Two loving men. One big question about what really matters when you’re in love.

When Joseph gets trapped with his father’s former coworker in one of the worst snowstorms of the year, he starts to wonder what ancient god he must’ve pissed off. After being kicked out of the house at eighteen and having to make his way on his own, the last thing he wants is to be stuck with the sexy older man.

Forest isn’t looking for a relationship, but when Joseph steps back into his life, grown up and hurting, he can’t walk away. Maybe it’s the Daddy Dom in him, but leaving Joseph confused and angry goes against everything he believes in. But getting Joseph to open up is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to helping him move on from the past.

When a boy is frustrated and confused, can a temporary Daddy step in and help, or will unexpected emotions steer things in a surprising new direction?

Ruslan knows that the best student organization on campus is the Mac-n-Cheese Club…and that’s not just because he’s the professor in charge of it. He’s also a little and an expert in mac-n-cheese. But as the holidays approach, he’s found another reason to love the club…his new Secret Santa.

Dante knows that the best student organization on campus is the Mac-n-Cheese Club because it’s led him to the most adorable little ever…and the most clueless. So when flirting isn’t helpful in the slightest, he knows it’s time to bring in the heavy hitter…Santa.

When a rigged game of Secret Santa helps a little open his eyes, it’ll take mac-n-cheese and a little romance to bring a stubborn cutie out of his shell.

Warning: This story has so much mac-n-cheese in it you probably should stock up before reading it.

“Save me, Santa. Please. I’ve been very good this year and I haven’t bought any toys in months.” (Shh…white lies are okay when spiders are involved.)

When a Christmas wish has a Secret Santa showing up to save the day, Brady knows he’s found the man, or possibly elf, of his dreams…until he gets accidentally poisoned and can’t remember his Christmas savior. But Santa comes to his rescue again when his Secret Santa rewards his good behavior with a new toy and a sweet letter. However, the one thing the note doesn’t tell him is the name of the man who saved the day.

Thin walls make for weird neighbors.

When open windows have Jude heading upstairs to save his neighbors from the biggest spider he’s ever seen, he’s just a bit frustrated. Well, he’s frustrated until the cutest little he’s ever seen kisses his cheek and thanks him for saving the day. Now the biggest problem is his cute little’s lack of memory and the fact that they’d never actually spoken before the great spider invasion.

Sometimes the holidays are stressful…and sometimes they’re magic.

Panic or laugh?

When Sidney opens his Secret Santa gift and finds a binkie and an oversized baby bottle full of his favorite chocolate, he knows someone at work has figured out his biggest secret. But when they go to great lengths to protect his privacy, he finds he’s more curious than scared.

Who’s his Secret Santa?

Ross knows he might not have chosen the most conventional way to show Sidney he was interested, but now that Sidney is on the countdown to leaving the company, he’s running out of options. So it’s time to stop being subtle—since the only thing that’s gotten him is shy smiles—because Ross is ready for so much more from the sweet sub with a sticker addiction.

When the Christmas season shows two men they have more in common than they ever thought, they’re both left wondering if Santa has given them the best present ever…love.
