Rock and roll is a way of life and few
know it better than singer Daniel Legarte. Told to lay off the
sauce and cigarettes (not to mention the harder, illegal stuff),
Daniel storms off from his entourage to cool off. Walking around
town, Daniel happens upon an art gallery with amazing paintings but
it's the artist, a wild-eyed gorgeous guy with the unlikely moniker
of "Amethyst" ("…Eric just doesn't sell paintings") who truly
captures his attention. In a moment of pure lust and chemistry, the
two hook up to create a storm of art and music. In Ami's arms,
Daniel can hold his demons at bay but what will happen when he hits
the road again? This nibble is all about vivid colors and powerful
riffs and I was hooked to the very last note.

Earth and Caeli
Sometime in the future after mankind's final
disastrous war, the warriors of heaven and hell are preparing for
the Endtimes – the Apocalypse. Mikhail is the angel who guards
Caeli, the place between Heaven and Earth where souls go to be
judged. When he is sent by Gabriel to find and protect Andrew
Blackwell, the last living descendant of John the Baptist, Mikhail
finds himself attracted to his charge and vice versa. But with the
hounds of hell nipping at their heels (literally) and Andrew
determined to get back to his life on Earth, things aren't exactly
heavenly between this tempestuous pair.
This sizzling nibble has it all – intriguing plot,
fascinating characters and sexy as hell (sorry, couldn't resist)
angels! Do not miss this story.

It's been a crappy few months for Cain,
he's lost his job and the power's been cut off at his apartment.
The one bright spot has been meeting his lover, Denny. Cain has
received nothing but unconditional love and a growing taste for kink
from the big, handsome stud, and in return, Cain's been keeping his
financial woes a secret. When Cain gets evicted and finally comes
clean to Denny, he's convinced Denny will dump him. However,
Denny's punishments are much more original (not to mention squirm
inducing) and guaranteed to let Cain know who he belongs to.
Shaving has never been more fun…and orgasm inducing than this!

Davey is maddeningly anal and an

truly excellent wedding planner but leaves little time for romance.
And if there's anyone Davey wants to romance, it's Alan, a
photographer he works with often. Happily for our wedding planner
extraordinnaire, Alan's just as smitten with him and while working a
wedding together, works up the courage to ask Davey to dance and
start making beautiful music together. Short and sweet, this is the

It's been years since Alistair has
allowed himself pleasure. He married and produced the requisite
heir and he and his wife get along amicably, but there is no love,
or passion – there hasn't been since his school days with his best
friend Griffin de Mannville. Now, Griff has sent his stable master,
Mick Cole, to take Alistair's stables in hand, and perhaps Alistair
himself – if he dares.
A highly erotic tale of the reawakening
of one man's passion after years of dormancy. Spankings, multiple
partners and toys all come into pay in this hot little nibble from
Torquere Press. Don't miss it.

friendship is over, Kyle heads to the nearest bar to drown his
sorrows and meets Alan. Just as things are looking up, however,

Riggins, Idaho-
Present Day
White-water
rafting guide Dez is looking forward to another summer on the Little
Salmon River and seeing her best guide buddy, and secret crush,
Mel. When Mel shows up currently single and sporting a whole new
look, Dez reminds herself that Mel's friendship is more important
than Dez's attraction to her. But Mel is giving off strange vibe
and Dez isn't sure what is happening. While she secretly hopes that
Mel is flirting with her, Dez is certain that she isn't the secret
crush that Mel is harboring for one of the guides. But Dez is about
to find out that it is going to be a hot summer in more ways than
one.
SOME KIND OF
RIVER is a tale about taking risks. Dez hasn't had the best luck
with risking friendship for a relationship and won't do anything to
scare Mel away. Mel is pushing as hard as she can to get Dez's
attention, but isn't sure that the attraction is mutual. Their
mutual love of rivers and kayaking give them a special bond and the
descriptive backdrop to the story adds to the feelings they share.
Strong writing and group camaraderie among the guides are highlights
of the story. SOME KIND OF RIVER is recommended for romantics with
a love of the outdoors.

spots obvious first timers Sara and David across the room, Jim knows
he's found his companions for the night. Sara and David are madly

perfect playmate to try all sorts of new…combinations. I'm a big
fan of Sean Michael and I have to confess it's a bit weird to have
someone with breasts and a vagina in one of his stories but don't
worry – male, female or any combination thereof – this nibble will
have you thinking naughty thoughts!
