An avid reader for years, one day
Carol Lynne decided to write her
own brand of erotic romance. She
has written well over a hundred
books. As founder and President,
Carol also helps organize the
annual GayRomLit Retreat,
an annual retreat that brings
together the people who create
and celebrate LGBT romance.
Two men and a fight they can’t win. One romance and a love
they can’t lose.
On the South Side of Chicago sits an old gym called The
Brick Yard.
Ten years ago, on a bitterly cold day, Lucky Gunn wandered
into The Brick Yard dressed in a threadbare jacket, looking
for refuge.
Dray was a gay man living in a world of straight fighters.
When his secret was exposed to the media, he dropped
out, giving Lucky a piece of advice—if you want to make it
as a MMA fighter, bury the part of yourself that won’t be
accepted.
For Lucky Gunn, the hardest fight of his life happens outside
the cage.
Lucky discovers the cage is the perfect place to keep his
demons at bay, but when he learns his trainer and mentor,
Brick, is suffering from end-stage cancer, he begins to spiral
out of control.
Will Dray stand by him and fight for their love or walk away
once more?
“This is a beautifully written, contemporary gay romance;
a story that flows seamlessly and has well-developed

Angel Martinez & Bellora Quinn
Quinn’s Gambit
PUBLICATION:
March 2015
WORLD RIGHTS
EXTENT: 210pp
Published since 2006, Angel’s
cynical heart cloaks a desperate
romantic. You’ll find drama and
humor given equal weight in
her writing and don’t expect sad
endings. Life is sad enough.
Originally hailing from Detroit
Michigan, Bellora now resides on
the sunny Gulf Coast of Florida.
The majority of her stories are
in the M/M genre with urban
fantasy or paranormal settings
and many with a strong BDSM
flavour.
An unregistered human con wizard and a duty-bound,
straight-laced elf cop. As New York explodes with dangerous
creatures, their passion goes nuclear.
After a terrible magical accident at Berkeley created
unpredictable holes between realities, all manner of nonhuman
creatures started popping into our world. These
displacements, called Random Anomalous Reality Events
or RARE, have taken magic out of fiction and relocated
it firmly in reality, resulting in a great deal of chaos and
confusion. Displaced elf Valerian works with AURA, the
Agency of Unnatural Resettlement and Assimilation, to
intercept these beings as they appear in the human world,
helping the peaceful ones and subduing the violent,
malevolent ones.
Quinten is a young mage just trying to get by, but New
York isn’t the easiest city to make a living in. If his methods
are sometimes morally dubious, his heart is still in the
right place. Of course, for Quinn, the right place means
firmly locked away, protected at all costs. The last thing
Quinn wants is to draw the cops’ attention, but when an
Event happens right on top of him, he’s forced to turn to
AURA for help. Things are not all what they seem at AURA
headquarters, and a greater evil lurks at the top than
anyone could have imagined.
“A modern fantasy love story that held my attention and
made me crave more of this world.” ~ Long and Short

“What a fantastic world these authors have created. I
loved this book!” ~ Rainbow Book Reviews

When you think you’ll never fit it, never be whole, love can
show you a truth you’ve never seen.

father has been slowly killing them, one pill at a time.
Steven leaves Adal to seek revenge and secure safety for
them in the world. Adal is astounded to find out he has a
mate. A halfbreed like him shouldn’t have anyone to love,
should he?
Dorso Rodriguez doesn’t know what hit him, literally or
figuratively. A fun-loving guy, he wakes up with a knot on
his head and a strange, sexy, scarred man who’s scared and
defiant and intriguing.

EXTENT: 155pp
Lucinda lives in a small village
in the English countryside,
surrounded by rolling hills, cows
and sheep. She started writing
to fill time between jobs and is
now firmly and unashamedly
addicted.
What if the last thing you felt was the kiss of a knife?
Rasputin’s kiss is lethal. He’s a ghost—killing and
disappearing into the night. With few leads and four bodies
on his conscience, Detective Inspector Alex Courtney and
his team are running on empty and it’s only a matter of
time before Rasputin strikes again.
When Alex recruits a young detective to play the part of
his boyfriend and provide a tempting target for a killer, he
knows he is taking a huge risk. He doesn’t expect Conor
Trethuan to be a perfect potential submissive. When their
mutual attraction becomes more, Alex has to face the
conflict between his possessive instincts and the need to
push his young lover into danger.
Investigating their feelings has to come second to
investigating the case. There’s no time to decide if what
they feel for each other is real. With Rasputin closing in,
they may not live to find out.

Morticia Knight Kiss of Leather
Building Bonds
PUBLICATION:
August 2015
WORLD RIGHTS
EXTENT: 161pp
Morticia Knight spends most of
her nights writing about men
loving men forever after. She
currently resides on the northern
Oregon coast.
Kyle’s a natural sub who builds dungeon furniture, yet has
no interest in BDSM. It takes a hunky Dom to show him just
what he’s been missing.
After Kyle’s partner of five years leaves him for another man
on the night of their housewarming party, the shy, earlythirties
carpenter needs to do a major reassessment of his
life in addition to raising some serious cash. His best friend
sets up a meeting with one of the Doms and partners at
Kiss of Leather, a gay BDSM club being built as a premier
destination for those who want the best of the best.
Master Gavin not only wants the best—he demands it.
When he meets Kyle, he assumes that part of the builder’s
reticence to share anything personal with him must be due
to his experiences with an abusive former Master. Not one
to back down from a challenge, Gavin determines to break
through the walls surrounding the beautiful man he can’t
get out of his mind.
Misunderstandings and accusations almost destroy
everything between them before they have a real chance
to begin. However, the true obstacle becomes not only
whether Kyle will embrace BDSM as a lifestyle, but also
whether he can handle a full-time D/s relationship with a
big, bad, scary Dom who’s as sexy as hell.

I’m SA Welsh and I write because
the voices in my head keep
making me. It is thanks to the
writers that inspired me to put
myself out there that I became
an author and the editors that
make sense of my chaos that I
keep writing.
Never play cat and mouse with a saber-tooth tiger.
When Kale Andrews gets disturbing mail from an obsessed
fan, his brother drags him to Shifter Protection Specialists,
Inc. Kale reluctantly agrees to have a bodyguard, but when
a tall, muscular blond walks into the office emanating
power and a sexy dose of danger, Kale’s doubts about
needing the man with him twenty-four hours a day quickly
disappear.
The easy babysitting job Aleksi was promised quickly
changes from strange mail to threatening deliveries, so
Aleksi has to become creative to keep his protectee out
of danger. Everyone knows models are self-centered and
shallow, so why does being with Kale make him feel like
he finally has a home? Since he’s a saber-tooth tiger and
naturally dominant, most people aren’t strong enough to
be with him in a relationship or even as a friend. Yet Kale
seems to calm his beast, simultaneously exciting the man
in Aleksi.
Neither man expects nor wants a relationship with strings,
but as they grow closer, Aleksi realizes that Kale might be
his mate. With an obsessed fan escalating toward murder,
Aleksi isn’t sure that even his tiger can keep his mate safe.

EXTENT: 181pp
While some passions live on the surface, others—wilder, darker
passions—have to be kept buried deep.
Dr. Leo Rotherham is following his calling by working in rural
Kenya for the charity Medics On Hand. While he expected a
primitive way of life and limited medical supplies, what he
doesn’t bargain on is falling for handsome village warrior, Malik.
Malik is well respected, knowledgeable and loyal to his tribe.
He’s also beautiful, brave, modern and, much to Leo’s dismay,
married—isn’t he? It turns out Malik is as free as the animals
that roam the African plains at night.
Soon the tension is building between the two men and Leo isn’t
sure if he’s coming or going. One thing is for sure, a passion
this big, this powerful, can’t be contained and it’s all going to
explode in the most spectacular of ways.

Finding a killer isn’t easy, but someone’s got to do it…
Detective Burgess Varley is called out to view a dead body. It
isn’t one of the best things about his job—but putting killers
away for the rest of their lives? Now that’s one of the best.
Problem is, the victim has something in her mouth that has
always scared Burgess—something that links him to the killer
without him even knowing it.
Detective Shaw Carter, Burgess’ partner for several years,
loves Burgess in ways he perhaps shouldn’t. Or ways that
Burgess won’t accept, anyway. But Shaw isn’t one to back
down from a challenge, and as well as being by Burgess’ side
on the hunt for a killer, he has his own mission to accomplish—
getting Burgess to admit they’re meant for each other.

their lives, and each other that they previously hadn’t known,
