El encantador granuja Tristan Northwood parece tenerlo todo: un nombre con solera, una herencia noble, una encantadora mujer y un hijo al que adora. Las mujeres le aman y parece que no hay nada que no pueda hacer, tanto si es seducir a una mujer de la alta sociedad como si se trata de ganar una carrera de carruajes. Poco se imaginan los que le conocen que el nombre no significa nada para él, que la fortuna está en las firmes manos de su padre y que no siente pasión por su esposa, a la que sólo le une una cordial amistad. La sociedad le aburre y acepta desafíos porque sólo se siente vivo cuando vive al límite... Hasta que el hermano de su mujer vuelve a casa desde el campo de batalla.

El comandante Charles Mountjoy, héroe condecorado de la guerra, saca a Tristan de su desesperación inspirando en él sentimientos de pasión que nunca sospechó que fuera capaz de tener. Casi tan terroríficos como esos sentimientos por Charles, son los indicios de que su cuñado puede que corresponda a su afecto... O incluso peor, que Charles ve al hombre que Tristan ha intentado tan valientemente esconder del mundo.

Nicholas Sayers ha bisogno di denaro per poter frequentare gli studi e si fa assumere come assistente da un famoso fotografo, Damian Wolfe. Deve solo aiutarlo a fare fotografie, giusto? Sbagliato. Nick non si è mai fatto domande su se stesso, su che tipo di uomo possa essere e cosa voglia veramente nella sua vita, ma lavorare per Damian durante scatti di foto BDSM gli apre gli occhi su ogni sorta di possibili esperienze sessuali e molte di queste includono il bellissimo Damian Wolfe.

Damian ha dei seri dubbi nel lasciarsi coinvolgere in una storia con un giovane che non conosce niente di ciò che riguarda lo stile di vita BDSM, ma lo spirito di avventura di Nick e il suo umorismo nell’approccio con questa nuova esperienza sono troppo affascinanti per poter resistere. Nonostante si renda conto della possibilità che possa essere un errore enorme, Damian coinvolge Nick in quella vita.

Destreggiarsi al limite del proprio controllo, la sottomissione e il dolore eccitano Nick più di quanto avrebbe mai pensato fosse possibile. Grazie a Damian, impara a conoscere i propri desideri più nascosti e scopre che cedere il controllo di se stesso non lo rende debole. Concedere il controllo del proprio piacere sessuale a qualcun altro aumenta il suo piacere. Il contrario è vero per Damian: il controllo lo eccita. Così cominciano a esplorare insieme i loro confini verso la sensualità, non aspettandosi di trovare l’amore lungo la strada.

The JOCK Series: Book One

It’s easy to become cynical when life never goes your way.

Cole Reid has been a social recluse since he was fifteen, when he was outed by his high school baseball team. Since then, his obsessive-compulsive behavior and sarcastic nature have driven away most of the population, and everyone else hates him because he’s gay. As he sees it, he’s bound to repulse any prospective friends, let alone boyfriends, so why bother?

By the time Cole enters college, he’s become an uptight loner—but it’s not a problem until his roommate graduates and the housing department assigns Ellis Montgomery to move in with Cole. Ellis is messy, gorgeous, straight, and worst of all, a jock!

During a school year filled with frat buddies, camping expeditions, and meddling parents, Cole and Ellis develop a friendship that turns Cole’s glass-half-empty outlook on its head. There must be more to Ellis than a fun-loving jock—and maybe Cole’s reawakening libido has rekindled his hope for more than camaraderie.

He doesn’t need to work out how to free Caleb from the anxiety that keeps him in his apartment; he needs to keep his nose clean, attend his AA meetings, and make a fresh start—alone.

If only his heart would get with the program.
