Easy Sinking by Cecilia Ryan

Asata is a backwater planet, favored by the less-than-honest sorts that hang around the outer rim of the galaxy. Melech, captain of the Thalassa, is no exception, though he’s scaled back his activities recently. He’s on Asata for a quiet few days of rest and relaxation and to get rid of some cargo he doesn’t want to be caught with. When Aiolos, a scruffy but attractive Human, literally falls at his feet, Melech takes it as a sign that his luck is about to turn. Instead, he finds himself naked and penniless, watching Aiolos run off into the night. Melech is sure he‘s seen the last of the engaging thief, until he runs into him again—literally—a few days later, with a proposition Melech is just intrigued enough to consider accepting.

Baltimore, Maryland, is a city in alarming distress. Rising violence is fanning the flames of public outrage, and all law enforcement agencies, including the FBI, are catching blame. Thus the FBI’s latest ideas to improve public relations: a municipal softball league and workshops for community leaders. But the new commitments just mean more time Special Agents Ty Grady and Zane Garrett have to spend apart when they’re happily exploring how to be more than by-the-book partners.

Then the latest spate of crime explodes in their faces—literally—throwing the city, the Bureau, and Ty and Zane’s volatile partnership both in and out of the office into chaos.

The Zero Knot by K.Z. Snow

October 14, 2011

Will Jess and Mig fight for their relationship in time? The Zero Knot by K.Z. Snow, available from Dreamspinner Press.

Eighteen-year-old Jess Bonner is casting off pretense—and, with it, some friends from his past who aren’t particularly trustworthy. In just a few months he’ll be starting college, and it’s time for him to admit the truth: he’s gay, not bi, and only one of his old friends holds any kind of real interest for him. When Dylan Finch, aka Mig, follows his lead and puts some distance between himself and the old crowd, he and Jess give in to a mutual attraction that’s been building for years.

But navigating a fledgling relationship isn’t easy for beginners, and forces they can’t seem to control keep tripping them up: sexual appetite, personal insecurities, fear of discovery, and more. They need clarity. They need courage. Just as they’re on the verge of finding both, a vindictive act of jealousy sends one of them to jail. All their hard-won victories are in danger of falling to dust. And the only way to save what they have is to recognize it for what it is… and fight for its integrity.
