Une juste cause, numéro hors série

Jerry Lincoln est bien ennuyé : son entreprise d’expertise en informatique située à Sioux Falls procure plus de travail qu’un seul homme peut en gérer. Heureusement, cela signifie qu’il peut recruter quelqu’un pour l’aider. Il espère seulement qu’au final, son nouvel employé, John Black Raven, sera davantage pour lui une source d’aide que de distraction – sauf que les yeux profonds et les longs cheveux de John l’empêchent de se concentrer.

John est venu en ville pour faire des études et obtenir la chance de sa vie, ce qu’il n’aurait jamais eu à la réserve. Cependant, ce qui compte dorénavant le plus pour lui est de trouver un emploi et de le garder. Sa sœur est décédée six mois plus tôt et ses enfants sont désormais en famille d’accueil. Bien que la loi soit de son côté, John ne peut en obtenir la garde – il ne peut même pas voir son neveu et sa nièce.

Alors que Jerry et John se rapprochent, John comprend qu’il n’est pas obligé de lutter seul. Jerry l’aide à obtenir le droit de visite et lui apporte un soutien indispensable. Pourtant leurs victoires ne sont pas sans déboires. Les services de l’aide pour l’enfance sont impliqués dans des histoires d’argent, de politique et de tracasseries administratives, et les enfants amérindiens sont leur moyen de subsistance. Or, John et Jerry sont bien décidés à se battre pour la bonne cause et à en sortir victorieux – à plus d’un titre.

Ma nessuno conosce il vero Chase.

Chase Summers ha una lametta da rasoio appoggiata al polso e l’odore dell’addio al suo amante appiccicato alla pelle. C’è una porta nel suo cuore, così spaventosa che preferirebbe morire piuttosto che aprirla, e le bugie che ha utilizzato per tenerla chiusa diventano più deboli a ogni tocco proibito.

Potrebbe voler dire chiedere troppo a un uomo che ha passato tutta la vita a nascondere il suo vero io.

When Mike’s not behind the bar at Woofs, he’s busy with his life as adult entertainer Scott Masters. Twenty years in the industry and the times, they are a-changing. Mike’s not had much luck in the relationship department, but as his mom is fond of telling him, you keep fishing in the same pond, you’re gonna reel in the same kind of fish.

And then a beautiful young man asks Mike to be his first….
