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?

Three different men.
Three similar secrets.
Sometimes sharing secrets is the only way to bring them into the light.

Secrets in the Dark
Mason isn’t looking for Mr. Right…he isn’t even looking for Mr. Right-Now. What he wants in a man isn’t going to be found on a blind date or at a singles mixer. Because he’s looking for someone a little more unique…a little more take charge…a little more loving.

What Really Matters
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 didn’t sign up for anything like what Zac wants to explore.

Curious Beginnings
Mark has hidden from life for so long he wouldn’t even know how to begin to find love. But who could love someone like him? He’s broken. Defective.

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?

Trent and Hayden have been together for as long as they can remember.

Best friends. Boyfriends. Now lovers looking to discover a new side of their relationship, all they want is to be together and to get out of the poverty that surrounds them at every turn. Unfortunately, Trent knows that with family stacked against them and the secrets Hayden must hide, it won’t be easy. But he’ll protect Hayden with everything he has.

No matter what he has to hide from everyone else, all Hayden has ever needed was Trent’s love and acceptance—and he’s always had it. No matter how different he felt or what he confessed to Trent, Hayden has always known Trent would be right there beside him. But with wolves closing in at the door and desperation rising, he knows finishing high school and getting away might be harder than they’d ever expected.

Surrounded by anger and people who would never understand their relationship, they know college will be their safe haven, but only if they can fight the deck that seems to be stacked against them.

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.

Sometimes the best presents are naughty…and sometimes they’re sweet…

Tim & Cade
In His Little Man, Tim’s secret fantasy became the start of a new relationship between himself and his neighbor, Cade. Now that their relationship is growing more serious, Christmas becomes not only about presents, but about growing together and sharing the day with friends who understand their special connection.

Jeremy & Kevin
Jeremy and Kevin opened up to one another and learned how deeply you can love someone in Too Close to Love and Too Close to Hide. With school on track and new friends at their side, they’re taking time away from everything and having a well-deserved vacation.

Nathan & Gabriel
In Flawed Perfection, Nathan discovered parts of himself he’d never understood before. With Gabriel’s help, he learned why he always felt different. For Christmas, Gabriel has more sexy and tender surprises in store for his sweet pup.

Nick & Kyle
In Beautiful Shame, Nick and Kyle learned that with bullying, things aren’t always as they seem. Now that they’re home for the holidays, Nick’s mother is bound and determined to make sure they don’t get too much time alone. Once they have the house to themselves, though, all bets are off.

I’d always known what I wanted was forbidden. He wasn’t mine to keep…mine to own.

Gage has known for a long time that something is wrong with him…something strange…something dark. He’s tried to control it, tried to hide it, but there are some things that can’t be denied. His obsession with his brother is one of them.

Justin has known for a long time that his brother doesn’t like him. How could he? They’re twins but are as opposite as night and day in looks and temperament. All Justin can do is make the best of it. But it isn’t until their parents are killed that he realizes what Gage has been hiding under the anger and disdain—passion.

Twins shouldn’t be this different. Twins shouldn’t be this angry. Twins shouldn’t fall in love…not with each other.

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.

Noah loves his husband, Tobias, but he isn’t afraid to admit that Valentine’s Day isn’t his favorite holiday. Showing Tobias how much he loves him isn’t the issue, but Noah isn’t sure Tobias is going to see how perfect his surprise is. But everyone thinks puppies are cute, right?

Tobias has always known when his gentle giant of a husband is hiding something. The Valentine’s Day surprise is no different, except that it seems to be making Noah a nervous wreck. But since their holidays have always been low-key, he’s not sure what there is to worry about…unless his sexy husband is hiding something a lot more interesting than a bouquet of roses.

Valentine’s Day is supposed to be about flowers and cards, not puppy play and sexy secrets, but sometimes perfection involves looking a little outside the box.

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.

Mason isn’t looking for Mr. Right…he isn’t even looking for Mr. Right-Now. What he wants in a man isn’t going to be found on a blind date or at a singles mixer. Mason’s looking for someone a little more unique…a little more take-charge…a little more loving.

Edward is straightforward, logical, and thinks of himself as traditional…not vanilla, just traditional, and when he meets Mason on a interesting blind date, sparks fly. But when the intriguing man with the sexy voice makes it clear he wants something unexpected, Edward has to decide how far out of his comfort zone he’s willing to go to find love.

When whispered confessions reveal secret desires, love can’t be far behind.

When getting unexpectedly sold in a charity auction is the most interesting thing that’s happened lately, Gray knows something has to change. Unfortunately, he first has to figure out why he’s been purchased and if the crayons around the cutie’s house and ABC chicken nuggets he’s served for dinner have anything to do with it.

Camden’s pretty sure he didn’t order the attractive, slightly frustrated man online, but with him standing on his front porch and glaring so strikingly, he can’t rule it out. He knows he’s slightly disorganized and easily distracted, but he would remember ordering Gray to be delivered, right?

When two meddling family members butt in where they don’t belong, a new Daddy and a sweet little with a passion for junk food and crayons might find true love…but they’re still hoping to drop a house or two on some meddling busybodies.

What happens when you find love in the most unexpected place?

Mark has hidden from life for so long he wouldn’t even know how to begin to find love. But who could love someone like him? Someone broken. Someone defective.

Left a widower after the tragic death of his wife, Sebastian is finally ready to begin living again. But how do you find someone to love when what you want is taboo?

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.

Tim has a secret. A secret, naughty fantasy that he’s never told anyone because it’s one that most people wouldn’t understand.

However, when his sexy neighbor accidentally learns his deepest fantasy, he won’t be able to hide from his desire any longer.

Cade has never had to hide who he is… Tim has never known anything but hiding.

Cade is ready for what he thinks is the next step in their exploration… meeting other people in the lifestyle. Tim can’t image sharing any aspect of something so personal with anyone but Cade.

Can they reconcile their differences? Will Cade push Tim too far or is Tim ready to take the next step with him?
