Contained in this 350+ page box set anthology are the M/M romance books Where You Least Expect, The Young Nurse, and The Reunion. * Where You Least Expect Love is confusing. It intertwines with lust, with a base attraction so animal and powerful, it can make a man do things he shouldn’t. It can make a man think things are one way… when they are the other. I thought I was in love with Terrence. He was everything I wanted in a man. But I slowly began to realize that I was just in love with the fantasy of him. Terrence in theory. And the person I was really falling in love with… the man who would stand by my side, love me, support me… Was someone I could never have imagined. Greg used to cruise for girls. Greg was the ladies man on campus, a star athlete back in the day. And here he was… his gorgeous eyes looking right through me. And he’s telling me that he’s falling for me… And that this could be the beginning of our happily ever after. * The Young Nurse My marriage to my wife ended once the kids left the house. All of a sudden, we didn't know each other. We divorced. It was amicable. It's not exactly a new story. Here I am, forty-three, and in shape. Not to get too cocky, but let's just say I'm the kind of man my age who is *very* eligible. The problem? Every woman I've dated I've had no interest in. What exactly is wrong with me? Then I got sick. I had to stay in the hospital. That's where I met Taden, my young, handsome male nurse... ...And everything in my life changed. He asked if I needed help getting into the shower, and he helped me undress. His touch lingered on my skin like electricity. But I'm not gay. I'm attracted to women! So why do I find myself thinking about Taden every waking minute? Why do I fantasize about him in my dreams? And why do I desperately want to tell him... ...so he can touch me again? * The Reunion It all started with a chance encounter. I bumped into Gary in St. Ives, the sea-salty air whipping past us. His deep brown eyes stopped time itself, and the coppery hair that lined his chest sparkled in the sun. Little did I know that we were schoolmates way back when. An impromptu reunion, you could say. But I had no idea what lay in store for me. Gary invited me onto his yacht. Gary flirted with me. And before I knew it, every inhibition I had was crumbling. This was supposed to be a relaxing holiday. Who could have expected it would turn into a torrid affair with a gorgeous man? Who could have expected that happily ever after might just be on the itinerary? *

Contained in this 300 page box set are the gay romance books A Second Chance, The New Assistant, and The Plan. * A Second Chance I never thought I’d love again. Even if I could, I didn’t even know if I wanted to. I was betrayed… I had my heart broken. And I was in mourning… I lost a dear friend. Something inside me just shut down. I didn’t want to go out. I didn’t want to face the world. But then I saw him again… Keifer… the man who broke my heart. And it all came rushing back. The emotion, the fire… the heat… the memories… the rage. So I punched him. Yeah, I punched him real good. I thought it would be over. I never expected to keep thinking about him. I never expected that he… that he was still thinking about me. I always said to myself that I wouldn’t give anybody a second chance. Cross me, and you’re out, gone, and we’re finished. But now I find myself changing my tune. I don’t know if I’ll be able to give him a second chance. But I know that I’m going to try… and we’ll see where this goes. Because I still love Keifer. And doesn’t love deserve a second chance? * The New Assistant I lost a lot that day. Almost everything. That day they still come to my door to ask me questions about. That day the reporters won’t ever forget… I knew I would mourn… And I knew I would grieve… But I never truly realized that… one day… I’d move on. It all started with my new assistant. His eyes looked into my soul. I felt as if I was falling into them. I became obsessed with him. Me, a man previously married to a woman! And here I was, fantasizing about a colleague at work, a subordinate, no less. What a cliché. But it was what I was feeling, and I was determined to keep it to myself. I failed, of course. Everything all started to unravel when I told him he was beautiful. And my world stopped dead. * The Plan Simon Bad break-up, moving to a new city, starting a new job. Who hasn’t experienced that before? I expected this whole thing to be cliché and predictable. What I never expected was for my new boss, Greg, to be drop-dead gorgeous. Six-feet tall, endless eyes, and a sexy-as-sin body that I could explore every inch of. Just one problem, though… I don’t know if he’s gay. I can’t stop thinking about my new boss… and of all the ways he could touch me. Of all the ways he could love me. I need a plan if I’m going to get this man. * Greg I never pass up an opportunity, both professionally and personally. So of course I took the opening to be the new project lead. And of course I took an interest in the new hire, Simon. What I didn’t expect was chocolate eyes and gorgeous curls. What I didn’t expect was to want to take Simon home the very first time I saw him. But there’s a problem… he’s my subordinate. I’ve never let rules stop me before, though. I’m going to make Simon mine, and he’ll have to do what I say. *

Nathaniel Bainbridge is used to hiding, whether it’s concealing his struggles with reading or his forbidden desire for men. Under the thumb of his controlling father, the governor of Primrose Isle, he’s sailing to the fledging colony, where he’ll surrender to a respectable marriage for his family’s financial gain. Then pirates strike and he’s kidnapped for ransom by the Sea Hawk, a legendary villain of the New World. Bitter and jaded, Hawk harbors futile dreams of leaving the sea for a quiet life, but men like him don’t deserve peace. He has a score to settle with Nathaniel’s father—the very man whose treachery forced him into piracy—and he’s sure Nathaniel is just as contemptible. Yet as days pass in close quarters, Nathaniel’s feisty spirit and alluring innocence beguile and bewitch. Although Hawk knows he must keep his distance, the desire to teach Nathaniel the pleasure men can share grows uncontrollable. It’s not as though Hawk would ever feel anything for him besides lust… Nathaniel realizes the fearsome Sea Hawk’s reputation is largely invented, and he sees the lonely man beneath the myth, willingly surrendering to his captor body and soul. As a pirate’s prisoner, he is finally free to be his true self.

Download or read book Docile written by K.M. Szpara and published by Tordotcom. This book was released on 2020-03-03 with total page 480 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: K. M. Szpara's Docile is a science fiction parable about love and sex, wealth and debt, abuse and power, a challenging tour de force that at turns seduces and startles. There is no consent under capitalism. To be a Docile is to be kept, body and soul, for the uses of the owner of your contract. To be a Docile is to forget, to disappear, to hide inside your body from the horrors of your service. To be a Docile is to sell yourself to pay your parents' debts and buy your children's future. Elisha Wilder’s family has been ruined by debt, handed down to them from previous generations. His mother never recovered from the Dociline she took during her term as a Docile, so when Elisha decides to try and erase the family’s debt himself, he swears he will never take the drug that took his mother from him. Too bad his contract has been purchased by Alexander Bishop III, whose ultra-rich family is the brains (and money) behind Dociline and the entire Office of Debt Resolution. When Elisha refuses Dociline, Alex refuses to believe that his family’s crowning achievement could have any negative side effects—and is determined to turn Elisha into the perfect Docile without it. Content warning: Docile contains forthright depictions and discussions of rape and sexual abuse. At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

Download or read book Love in a Dark Time written by Colm Toibin and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2004-06-02 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Colm Tóibín knows the languages of the outsider, the secret keeper, the gay man or woman. He knows the covert and overt language of homosexuality in literature. In Love in a Dark Time, he also describes the solace of finding like-minded companions through reading. Colm Tóibín examines the life and work of some of the greatest and most influential writers of the past two centuries, figures whose homosexuality remained hidden or oblique for much of their lives, either by choice or necessity. The larger world couldn't know about their sexuality, but in their private lives, and in the spirit of their work, the laws of desire defined their expression. This is an intimate encounter with Mann, Baldwin, Bishop, and with the contemporary poets Thom Gunn and Mark Doty. Through their work, Tóibín is able to come to terms with his own inner desires—his interest in secret erotic energy, his admiration for courageous figures, and his abiding fascination with sadness and tragedy. Tóibín looks both at writers forced to disguise their true experience on the page and at readers who find solace and sexual identity by reading between the lines.

So when he transfers to an all-boys' boarding school in New England, he decides to keep his sexuality a secret -- not so much going back in the closet as starting over with a clean slate. But then he sees a classmate breaking down. He meets a teacher who challenges him to write his story. And most of all, he falls in love with Ben... who doesn't even know that love is possible.
