David Lauriston has been recuperating at Lord Murdo Balfour's Laverock estate for the last five months. At Laverock, he has regained his health and confidence and has found-with Murdo-more happiness and contentment than he has never known before. David is all too aware that some day soon he will have to leave Laverock-and Murdo-and return to his legal practice in Edinburgh, just as Murdo will have to return to his life in London. But when David's mentor, Patrick Chalmers, asks David to return to Edinburgh to visit him on his deathbed, it seems that day has come sooner than either David or Murdo would have wished. Chalmers begs David to undertake one last piece of business for him: to secure the future of Chalmers's daughter Elizabeth. But to carry out his old mentor's wishes, David must travel to London, with Murdo. No sooner have the two men arrived in the capital than they encounter Murdo's ruthlessly manipulative father, who reveals a shocking secret that rocks David to his foundations. What's more, when David discovers Elizabeth is facing far greater danger than even her father feared, he is determined to help her, no matter the cost to his own safety. As the stakes rise, it is Murdo who must choose what he is prepared to sacrifice to keep David at his side, and ask whether there is any possibility of lasting happiness for men like them. This is a second edition of a book previously published by Samhain Publishing

Tribute Act

Lights, camera.attraction! When Tag O'Rourke, struggling actor-slash-barista, meets Jay Warren, son of acting royalty, it's loathing at first sight. Loathing.and lust. Tag's dream is to act, but it's a dream that's crumbling beneath the weight of student debt and his family's financial problems. If his career doesn't take off soon, he's going to have to get a real job. After all, feeding his family is more important than feeding his soul. Luckily, Tag's about to get his big break. Jay never had to dream about acting; he was always destined to follow in his famous mother's footsteps. But fame has its price and a traumatic experience early inJay's career has left him with paralysing stage fright, which is why he sticks to the safety of TV work-and avoids relationships with co-stars at all costs. Unfortunately, Jay's safe world is about to be rocked. After an ill-judged yet mind-blowing night together, Jay and Tag part acrimoniously. So it's a nasty shock when they discover that they've been cast in a two-man play that could launch Tag's career and finally get Jay back onto the stage where he belongs. Sure, it's not ideal, but how bad can working with your arch-nemesis be? All they have to do is survive six weeks rehearsing together and navigate a cast of smarmy festival directors, terrible landladies, and vengeful journalists. Oh, and try not to fall in love before the curtain rises. Break a leg!

James aime Iain depuis toujours, mais après le désastre de leur dernière rencontre, il a fait le vou de ne plus jamais accepter la moindre miette de la table du capitaine. Si Iain ne peut être l'amant dont James a envie, alors il ne veut plus jamais avoir affaire à lui.

Désabusé par sa carrière et malheureux de ne plus avoir James dans sa vie, Iain décide d'abandonner le service militaire et de s'embarquer sur une nouvelle voie en Inde. Avant de quitter l'Angleterre, il est pourtant décidé à essayer une dernière fois de se réconcilier avec son ami le plus cher.

L'invitation à une fête dans la maison de campagne de la sour de ce dernier procure au capitaine l'occasion idéale de coincer James dans un coin et de l'obliger à entendre ses excuses.

Désir interdit 4

Captain Iain Sinclair has looks, charm, military honours-even the favour of the king himself. He has everything-everything, that is, except the friendship of the one man whose good opinion he has ever cared for, scientist, James Hart. James has loved Iain all his life, but after the last disastrous encounter between them, he vowed to accept no more crumbs from Iain's table. If Iain cannot be the lover James wants, then James will have no more to do with him. Disenchanted with his career, and miserable without James in his life, Iain decides to leave military service and embark upon a new career in India. Before he leaves England behind, though, he is determined to try one last time to reconcile with his dearest friend. An invitation to a country house party from James's sister provides the perfect opportunity to pin James down and force him to finally listen to Iain's apology. But when Iain discovers that an apology is not enough-that James is not willing settle for less than a lover-he is forced to reconsider everything: his life, his future career, and most of all, his feelings for James.

Unnatural - Enlightenment

A Winterbourne prequel story 1814: Captain Sam Alderton returns to England from the continent with his life in tatters. Maimed and directionless, the last thing he wants to do is spend Christmas with his family and their close friends, the Huxleys-especially Jasper Huxley, who he almost kissed five years before.  Sam plans to avoid the festivities, but when the first snow of winter arrives, and he and Jasper are trapped alone together at Alderton Hall, they find themselves revisiting old traditions and painful memories together-and discovering that things may not have been quite as either of them thought five years earlier.  This story previously appeared in the Gifts For The Season anthology

The First Snow of Winter - Winterbourne, #3

Bryn Llewelyn spends his life strung out on too much caffeine, fighting sleep at every turn. He can barely hold down a part-time job as he lurches from day to day, perpetually exhausted.  He is trying to avoid Somnus, the dream world where people like Bryn-dreamwalkers-roam during their sleeping hours.  Bryn has been dreamwalking since he was child. He's never found navigating Somnus easy, but lately it's become much, much harder. Each time he manifests in Somnus, he is helplessly drawn to a sinister tower. Something evil is imprisoned there-something that wants out-and every time Bryn falls asleep, he finds it more difficult to resist its lure. Not to mention the compelling man who patrols its walls.Laszlo Grimm. As a teenager, Laszlo Grimm suffered from a sleep disorder so profound, his family had him locked up for treatment. Whilst the brutal "therapy" he underwent was successful, Laszlo paid a steep price for it-his ability to feel emotion. Now, for the first time in years, Laszlo's night terrors are returning, and with them, his fears about being locked up again. When Bryn and Laszlo meet in the real world, Bryn recognises Laszlo as the man he has already met in Somnus, but not only does Laszlo not know Bryn, he can't even remember any of his dreams. Bryn fights to open Laszlo's eyes to the truth but Laszlo cannot quite shake the conviction that his old condition is catching up with him...not least because Bryn Llewelyn is awakening emotions in him he hasn't felt in years.
