Eric Courtland is hungry for revenge-at any cost-against the cold, unfeeling father who never loved him, and who drove his mother to an early grave. Tossed headfirst into the shark-tank world of big business, Eric soon learns it's eat or be eaten, and has no choice but to throw in his lot with ruthless titan of industry Branford Crane. Still reeling from his mother's death-and the guilt of not being able to save her-Eric plunges into a dark spiral of self-destruction, rejecting his longtime partner Nick's love and support in favor of the harsh tutelage Bran offers him, in and out of the bedroom. But one night, when Bran finally pushes Eric beyond any reasonable limit, Eric realizes how far he's fallen-and how desperately he needs Nick to help pull him back from the edge.(Publisher's note: This is a novella.)

Strictly Business - Courtland Chronicles, #2

A life of wealth and privilege doesn't equal happiness-just ask Eric Courtland. Growing up with a cold, unfeeling father and unstable mother has taught him exactly what he doesn't want out of life or love. The troubled young man prefers a solitary life and is content to keep it that way until a campus emergency saddles him with an unwanted roommate. Popular, wholesome, straight Nick Thompson is far more temptation than Eric's prepared for, but Nick's warm, easygoing manner gradually cracks through Eric's prickly protective shell. After Eric suffers a traumatic attack, their friendship gives way to an intense passion. Eric's no stranger to casual sex, but what he feels for Nick is something deeper, and more fragile. Independent Eric doesn't know the first thing about being in a relationship, much less with a lover who can't even admit he's gay. But conservative Nick can't seem to find his way out of his own personal closet. Rock, meet hard place.
