Someone out there is ready to teach Jasinda that revenge is a dish best served cold as ice cream...

As Jasinda Reed admits to a friend, she \"hasn't had a hot date since two years and twenty pounds ago.\" It's been a lot longer than that since she's trusted a man...with good reason. She harbors no intentions of changing that any time soon.

Jasinda hardly expects to meet Mr. Right while working behind the ice cream counter at Biggie Scoops. One night, when a handsome and charming stranger shows up at just the right time, Jasinda fears he and his attentive flirting may be too good to be true.

Pro quarterback Craig Wilder goes after what he wants when he sees it. At the top of his career, the popular football player is surrounded by fame, fortune, and his pick of any woman he wants. Well, almost any woman...the one he sets his sights on keeps pushing him away. Can the hot jock scale the wall that Jasinda put up to protect her heart?

Jasinda panics when a scary incident puts her life in jeopardy. She wonders if someone is really out to get her or if she's letting the past haunt her present - and possibly destroy her romantic future.

\"You're squishing my balls,\" the man in the elevator said to her. Then things only went downhill from there...

When attractive and feisty Kate Collins decides to hold the elevator for a stranger struggling with holiday packages in her Manhattan high-rise building, she has no idea she's in for much more than a forty floor ride.

When their hands touch, Kate experiences a sudden flash of déjà vu. Memories come flooding back which make Kate glad to be stuck in the elevator with the hunk, if no other reason than to give him a piece of her mind.

Handsome and confident Tom Wilson has the perfect smile to melt a woman's heart on a cold and snowy day in New York City. Will he be able to break through Kate's icy demeanor towards him and convince her to overlook the past?

Has fate given them a second chance to find out what might have been?

The course of true love never did run smooth...

Dustin Hanson is a nerdy college freshman who works in the campus library. He's never told anyone he's gay, but he secretly fantasizes about the guy who sleeps on top of him, in the upper bunk, that is! That's right, Dustin has the hots for Jeff, his drop dead gorgeous roommate.

Jeff Ridgewood is a popular college junior. He's the cool gay guy on campus that even the straight frat boys go to for advice about their love lives! But that doesn't mean the macho jock can see what's right before his eyes when it comes to his own romantic feelings.

An unexpected night off leads to surprises. The two young men discover that when a guy falls for his roommate, Shakespeare was right: \"The course of true love never did run smooth.\"

What might have been...

Cute librarian Tim finds himself long overdue for a boyfriend. He hasn't even had a date in almost a year. Which explains why he can't keep his eyes off the handsome construction worker renovating the library!

Sporting bulging biceps and tight jeans, macho Karl seems as straight as the steel beams he carries by the circulation desk. Still, the blue collar stud's killer smile melts the librarian's heart.

A déjà vu moment leads the two young men to discover the past has a way of catching up with you. Will fate, and their own choices, deny them the chance to find out what might have been?

Mending a broken heart...

Still reeling from a bad breakup, Dr. Norman McCarthy fears dating again. He wants to find the love of a lifetime, but most of the guys he meets favor the love of a good time instead. The doctor can easily fix his patients' heart valves, but his own broken heart is another matter.

Hot mechanic Frank Preston can fix anything on wheels. When it comes to matters of the heart, too bad life and guys don't come with repair manuals. Frank finds it much easier to look under the hood of a vehicle than inside his own soul.

A chance meeting brings the two struggling men together. They can't deny the chemistry between them, but will their pasts and secrets keep them apart?

On Black Friday, all's fair in love, war, and shopping...

Twenty-seven year old Aiden Crawford's been single too long. He says he's choosy, his friends call it being too picky. Either way, he just can't find a good, trustworthy guy.

Aiden's best friend drags him out on an overnight Black Friday shopping trip as part of her scheme to profit from the year's hottest Christmas toys. Waiting outside in the long line, Aiden notices an attractive stranger that makes him question his disbelief in love at first sight.

Todd Valenti is tall, handsome, and too sexy for his own good. He says all the right things, but would the slick stud say or do anything just to get his hands on the last coveted toy on the shelf?

When emotions run high and holiday stress takes its toll on bargain hunters searching for the best deals ever, practically anything can happen in a department store...maybe even a gay guy finding love on Black Friday!

He only wants one thing for Christmas...

Tracey's back! Fresh from her success in helping her gay friend find the right guy in Finding Love On Black Friday, she's got a new mission. Helping her co-worker, Keith, find love during the holidays pushes her skills to the max...

Keith Barone knows exactly what he wants – his best friend, Mike. There's just one little problem - Mike is straight. Keith fears pursuing his desires will crash and burn in heartache. However, Keith's been hiding his feelings for so long, he's ready to burst.

Masculine jock Mike Evers has a reputation for dating women, but never brings them around to meet his friends. Mike has known for a long time that his best friend likes guys. So what? These days, having a gay friend just proves a guy is secure in his sexuality. Still, when Mike pictures his future, he wonders why Keith remains the one person who always figures in his plans.

Will the truth - and Mike - both come out in time for the two best friends to have a merry Christmas together?

Beauty. Beast. Not your grandma's fairy tale...

Prince Christopher is as conceited as he is handsome. After his overwhelming ego offends an evil sorcerer, Christopher is robbed of the source of all his arrogance: his looks. Transformed into a hideous beast, Prince Christopher has only a limited time to fulfill a near-impossible condition or the curse will remain with him forever.

Bobby Farmer is a stunning and innocent twink. When Bobby's father is imprisoned as a trespasser at Prince Christopher's castle, Bobby offers himself in his father's place, and Prince Christopher accepts the brave young man's deal.

It isn't long before a friendship begins to blossom between the happy-go-lucky Bobby and the newly-humbled Prince. Friendship isn't enough to lift the sorcerer's shapeshifting curse, and unless Prince Christopher can win Bobby's heart, his fate will be sealed...

But as the Prince-turned-beast wonders, how can a man whose beauty is more than skin-deep ever come to love a creature such as himself?

Eternal love or the final nail in the coffin...

Drew Carlton is a 25 year old athletic hunk who doesn't know how good-looking he really is. He's waited a long time for the special night when he enters Club Fangtasy, nervous about his first time with a man. Especially a man who also happens to be a vampire.

Ben Wilhelm won't reveal his age. (Isn't it rude to ask a vampire how old he is?) Ben's not looking for love; he's just looking for a warm place to sink his fangs for the night. When he sees the young stud across the dance floor, feelings are awakened deep within him that he hasn't experienced in over a century.

The revelation of a shocking secret organization raises the stakes, putting both their lives in jeopardy. What do you do when your survival depends on someone you don't really trust? Will the dark desires and forbidden attraction between a vampire and a human lead to eternal love or the final nail in the coffin?

\"A little jealousy never killed anyone.\" Yet...

Daniel Zenk is a typical college guy. Good-looking. Driven to succeed. A little too cocky. He differs from most of the other frat boy types on campus in one important way – Dan has the hots for his male English professor!

Professor Jason Montell's sexuality smolders just beneath the surface of his hipster glasses and conservative blazer. The university instructor wants to instill a love of literature in his students while finding love in his personal life. The two worlds collide at the beginning of the fall semester and set a dangerous chain of events in motion.

While implementing his plan to seduce the sexy older man, Dan crosses the line between interest and obsession. How far will the young man go to get Jason to give in to temptation? Will heartbreak lead to murder?

Like the characters in Medea they are studying in class, the professor and his student are about to discover that \"Stronger than lover's love is lover's hate. Incurable, in each, the wounds they make.\"

Over the rainbow. Waaaay over...

Farm boy Donny Windham has two big problems: he's in the closet; and he's in love with his straight best friend!

His solution? Run away from home to someplace he's not the only gay guy in a two hundred mile radius of his family's Kansas farm. Before he can leave, a tornado transports Donny and his little dog Toto to the magical Land of Oz where they encounter Lions and Tylers and Gay Bears - oh my!

Donny makes new friends along the way including the scantily clad Good Warlock of the North, the sassy Scarecrow, the brokenhearted Tin Woodman, and the Cowardly Lion. Of course, there's the small matter of the Wicked Warlock of the West who'll stop at nothing to see Donny dead!

On his fantastical journey down the Yellow Brick Road towards the Emerald City to meet the Wicked Hot Wizard of Oz, Donny discovers one important thing: There's no place like home, especially if it's with the man of his dreams.

Can a young man come out, find love, and survive senior year all at the same time?

Zach Denham, the editor of a small town high school newspaper, struggles to act like a \"normal\" guy by dating a female friend. After one disastrous date, Zach vows to spend the rest of his life alone, keeping his true feelings for guys locked up inside.

Confident and popular Key Stahl, the school’s newly arrived attractive jock, takes an interest in the innocent young man that goes beyond friendship. Key soon forces Zach to confront the truth about his sexual identity.

Friends will become enemies when an explosive issue divides the school community. As Mrs. Trevott, Zach’s trusted and sharp-tongued English teacher, advises, some of them will stand up for what they believe in even if they are standing alone.

Loner Mark Rossi hates the holidays. He's quite surprised to finally meet a woman who might actually change his outlook on the Christmas season and life in general.

Letting his guard down comes with an unhealthy dose of self-doubt. Resentment, suspicion, and secrets soon fester beneath the surface of this fragile new relationship.

Against the backdrop of picture-perfect holiday plans, how long will it be before Mark harbors revenge in his heart and murder on his mind?

For more years than he can count, Brother Roger has faithfully executed his duty as the keeper of the sacred relic. To an uninformed outsider, the glass display case with the gold trim in the monastery chapel holds the remains of a simple, charred log. The monks know better.

As the Winter Solstice celebration approaches, Brother Roger and his fellow rogue order of elderly monks dare to dabble in a forbidden ritual in the darkness of the longest night of the year.

What will happen this night on the first Winter Solstice since the thirteenth century to coincide with the Christmas Star in the sky? Will the monks discover that they've made a deal with the Devil?

A Perfect Little Girl with a Perfect Little Secret...

What would you do if everyone thought you were perfect, but you had a terrible secret? That's just the beginning of the adventure in JOYCE OF WESTERFLOYCE: THE STORY OF THE TINY LITTLE GIRL WITH THE TINY LITTLE VOICE.

Children and adults alike will be instantly engaged by the delightful text which tells the humorous tale of Joyce, a flawless little girl whose seemingly perfect existence is about to be shattered by the terrible secret she keeps - she has the biggest, loudest, and most explosive burp in the whole world!

How the truth comes out and the resulting consequences propel the story forward and secure a spot for Joyce as a heroine that children will love and remember for years to come as Joyce is forced to confront the same dilemma that faces all children at one time or another. Will people still like her once they know the real Joyce?

The story appeals to both male and female readers. Girls love the fact that the story features a female heroine right from the beginning. As soon as boys find out that the heroine has an amazing burping ability, they are equally enthralled.

Makes an excellent bedtime story that kids will want to hear over and over.
