He can't have the family he wants, but he may get the love he deserves. Isaac didn't expect to find love at his family's Christmas dinner, but that was before he met his sister's new fake boyfriend. Tall, muscular, and tattooed, Logan is what Isaac would love in a partner-and also everything his parents would hate in one. Not that they know Isaac's gay. That doesn't stop him from dating Logan-unbeknownst to his parents, and with his sister's approval after she fake dumps him. The pair dive into a whirlwind romance of motorcycle rides, cheesy puns, and hot sex. They meet each other's friends and fill their time with happiness and laughter. It's all perfect. Until Isaac suggests they move in together, and Logan asks Isaac to come out to his parents. Isaac wants to, but he's scared; he doesn't want to lose his family. Unfortunately, he can't see that his real family has been right beside him all along.

For the last five years, Veier has been chained to a king's throne in his bear form. When a neighboring kingdom overthrows the crown, Veier's imprisonment ends, but true freedom is not so easily earned. With blood on his hands, he needs someone with patience, strength, and trust to help him become the person he was before and prove to the invaders that he isn't the monstrous king's loyal pet. Elrid, the invading king's brother and a powerful mage, is everything Veier despises. He's also the only thing between Veier and execution, because he thinks he can help Veier change from an aggressive bear shifter into a reasonable man. While the pair have a rough start, with long talks and mutual leaps of faith, they begin to care for each other. However, the closer Veier gets to his freedom, the closer he is to losing Elrid. He must find balance in his heart and his life if he wishes to truly claim the freedom he's been given--and the man he loves.

For many people, there's nothing hotter than a man with tattoos. He might get them to commemorate a lost loved one, celebrate an event, or just to look bad-ass, but there's no doubt the man enjoys showing off his ink. Tribal, classic black and white, or elaborate colored artwork spanning the entire back, each mark has a story, an indelible reminder of the past etched onto the human canvas with care and precision. We're showcasing four of those stories in "Written in Flesh." Key is "Bound by Ink" to a woman he does not-"cannot"-love. He runs to escape his fate, but finds Dax, another fugitive, and learns that some bonds go deeper than skin. In the heyday of the 1980's, Ian Grothe's club is about to discover the Next Big Thing, but Ian only has eyes for the lead singer. But as the band's star rises, Ian gets left behind, his hopes turning to "Powder." Then, in "Helotry," Rontak is an escaped slave who wears the mark of his service beneath his skin. While on the run, he is sheltered by Trey, an artist with a heavy secret of his own. Finally, Ellis comes to the Sui Generis Protection Agency bearing the "Mark of the Familiar," magical animal tattoos granting him remarkable shapeshifting abilities. When he feels a True Bond to William, the Wardsman of the agency, he has to convince William of the truth or risk losing his sanctuary, and perhaps even his life."
