A Not So Straight Christmas



Morgan Ventry and Sam Ackland have known each other for three years.



Morgan works at Sam's lodge as bartender, closing manager, and general all-around help, and has never once suspected Sam might be gay.



Sam has worked side by side with Morgan and had never suspected he was gay either. Both men have simply shoved aside any attraction, reminding themselves that it's stupid to fall for a straight man. Then they get snowed in by a Christmas blizzard and have more time on their hands than they know what to do with--at least until they realize they are both gay, and attracted to each other. Then they have plenty of things they can think of to do…



Astrophysicist 1 - Absent Minded Astrophysicist



Dr. Liam McGregor is a well respected astrophysicist, astrobiologist and geologist, and he's only twenty-three. With no family, few friends, and no romantic prospects, he's gotten used to being alone. Focusing on his various scientific projects, and taking care of his decidedly unusual cat help keep the loneliness at bay.



Jareth Manning is starting life over, a new town, new job, after the loss of his husband. The last thing he expected was for the most absentminded, and beautiful, man he'd ever seen to to take up residence in his heart. Nor did he expect to find himself a willingly humble slave to Her Imperial Highness, Empress the Cat. But Jareth has learned that love doesn't come around often, so when it does, hold onto it with both hands.



Jareth is willing to be patient, if Liam is willing to take the risk, after being badly burned before.



They just have to survive Liam's past returning.



Astrophysicist 2 - Loving the Astrophysicist



Liam and Jareth have been married for eight years and realize they want a child. Things do not go very well when they try to adopt through agencies, with terrible accusations thrown at Jareth. After taking time to recover, they proceed with a private adoption, bringing home a beautiful little girl, Carinae. Then things get really ugly, endangering not only Liam's life, but Carinae's.



Love and Hate



Matt Landers is falling in love with Kyle Garber, which is making his summer great. There's only one problem. Matt's greedy, homophobic, religious fanatic parents are trying to kill them.



Matt Landers is in college, finally free to be himself. Relying on supportive friends to cope with the recent loss of his beloved grandpa, he's determined to ignore the condemnation of those who should love him, but whose heads are too clouded by religious hatred to remember the command to love others as thyself.



Kyle Garber is Matt's fantasy man, and the discovery that the man is both bisexual and interested in him, has Matt's summer looking up. Since his grandpa provided handsomely for him, Matt isn't worrying about how he'll pay both for college and survival. It also makes him the target of his parents, who claim God is moving through them, but in reality, just want his inheritance.



The Healing of Idrys



Idrys Barber is a lonely, closeted man, whose life is completely ordered and controlled by his parents, until his sister files a complaint with the DA. Add to that, Reilly Lucas invades the dreams that plague him, along with Hadrian Merkel. Hadrian and Reilly meet over a pair of Boston Terrier puppies and a black kitten, dating each other and now they want to include Idrys, but will they convince him it's not a crime to be together with them, or will Idrys' father destroy any chance they have for a good life together?



Two Silent Cries



Micah Valery is hearing impaired and unable to speak. As if that didn't make life interesting enough, he also suffers from a panic disorder that regularly disrupts his life. With a wonderful assistance dog named Goldie, however, he manages to live independantly, and comfortably.

When something goes wrong with Goldie, he meets Dr. Santiago Cruz, a veteran veterinarian with issues of his own to cope with. Still, the attraction is strong enough to explore, and a new romance blooms.

Enter Micah's estranged family, attempting to deprive him of his inheritance.
