A growing collection of Historical Romance stories celebrating the lives and loves of LGBTQ+ characters

AUTHOR, AUTHOR: A MIDCENTURY GAY ROMANCE

Harlan Avens saved Ben’s life, long before they met.  Meeting him was more than Ben could hope for, and it might be about to ruin everything.


Ben Quirke became a writer after reading No Man’s Land, Harlan’s controversial novel, written when he was only twenty and Ben was little more than a boy.  When Ben meets the now-famous writer, the last thing he expects is for Harlan to give him more than a minute of his time.  Never mind ask him to dinner.

A chance encounter, and a chance of a lifetime, for Harlan holds the rights to a book too hot to publish.  Too hot for anyone, that is, except Ben and his pulp shop Baron Press.  But the burly heroes and green-skinned girls of the dime-store book rack are light years away from Harlan’s uptown life of martinis and bebop.  And when Harlan’s interest in him crosses into dangerous territory, how long can Ben stay afloat on the churning seas of sleaze?  Or will the business he built from nothing be the thing that breaks his heart?


A gay midcentury romance about loss, legacy, and the inalienable right to read dirty books.

AN INCONVENIENT EARL: A GAY REGENCY ROMANCE

A tale of freedom, forgiveness, and saying exactly the wrong thing in bed.

It was meant to be an easy job: remove a lord from the public eye until his title is usurped. Much harder to do when the lord turns out to be the same man Harry has been bedding on the sly for the past six months. Even more inconvenient when the lord himself has been asking him to do the very same: steal him from his rigid, terrifying future and find a way to set him free.

Ralph, Viscount Elsternwick, doesn’t need and cannot serve the earldom, his intellect and instincts wholly out of step with the impossible obligations of courtly life. What he needs is a means of escape, one he cannot avoid. Say, being stolen away by a heartless and hopefully handsome rogue, like the man he’s been meeting in secret for months. 

But it takes more than shared desire and a fear of the past to make a life together. And some secrets are best left unspoken. Is Ralph’s dearest wish about to come true? Or is the only man he trusts now his enemy?

A passionate MM Regency Romance about a daydreaming earl-in-the-making who fears his own future and the soft-hearted thief who should never have met him, let alone fallen in love.

THE CONFESSIONS OF EVELYN THURGOOD

After nearly getting himself killed through his own greed and arrogance, Evelyn Thurgood is happy in exile. Until a complication disturbs the peace at his remote Northumberland manor. A complication in the form of Adam Fortescue.

Adam only came to Inverloch because he had no other choice. One does what the Earl of Henley says, even if that means travelling the length of the kingdom to deliver a letter to the man who blackmailed him into his greatest betrayal.

Raised together as children, driven apart by the boy who has always stood between them, he and Evelyn ought to be enemies. So why can’t Adam leave Inverloch? Why is he defying the earl to stay, here at the ends of the earth with a man he should despise? How can two men who’ve done nothing but wrong find a way to get it right?
