K.L. Noone

A magician in need of redemption. A loyal hero on a quest. And only one bed at the inn. Once the world’s most legendary sorcerer, Lorre fled the Middle Lands after his own curiosity -- and a misguided transformation spell -- turned him into a dragon and nearly killed a king. He isn’t a dragon anymore, but he is hiding alone on a tropical island, avoiding people, politics, and his own reputation. But now a hero has found him. And not just any hero. Prince Gareth’s full of patience, intelligence, a kind heart ... and unfairly attractive muscles. And he needs Lorre’s help: his tiny mountain kingdom is under attack from ice magic, and Gareth hopes the world’s last great magician will save his people. Lorre is done with quests and princes and trying to change the world. But Gareth might tempt him to believe again ... in heroes, in himself, and in magic.

Magician

K.S. Murphy

Theodore Burnett has never been a hero. He prefers comfort to combat-spells, and jam-slathered scones to muddy boots. Fortunately, as the youngest-ever head librarian at the Royal College of Wizardry, Theo can spend his days with books and bibliomancy in place of battle-magic or politics -- and in any case Napoleon’s been defeated and the war’s been won. But now there’s a wounded captain of the Magicians’ Corps in Theo’s library. And he needs Theo’s help. And Theo can never resist a mystery, especially when that mystery’s tall and tempting and handsome. Captain Henry Tourmaline, formerly of His Majesty’s Army and the Magicians’ Corps, requires assistance. He’s returned to London with scars on his body, soul, and heart -- war, after all, will do that to anyone. But one of those scars refuses to heal, a curse that’s slowly draining Henry’s magic and eventually his life. The physicians have no answers, so Henry turns to the College’s books ... and the College’s attractive head librarian. But the curse is unpredictable, and the last thing Henry wants is to drag someone else into the line of fire, particularly someone as kind and innocent and brilliant as Theo. Theo wants to save Henry. Henry wants to keep Theo safe. Together, perhaps they can do both ... while uncovering a perilous secret behind a spell, a deadly puzzle in the archives, and their own heart’s desires.

JMS Books' Trios are themed collections of three gay romance stories by a trio of authors. Each story is available separately, but readers can get all three for a discounted bundle price. One Night in London contains three M/M historical romances. Contains the stories: James and Nicholas by Shelly Greene: Widowed viscount James Thorne insists he will never remarry -- not because he could never love again, but because he secretly already does. His late wife's brother, Nicholas, is too closely related by law; James's love is unseemly, violating honor and propriety. When Nicholas is badly injured in an accident, will James be shaken into confessing his feelings? Or will he lose Nicholas forever? Dalton and Edward by K.S. Murphy: Tonight's ball announces Dalton Irving's engagement to a man his parents chose for him. But Dalton's intended has made it clear that he wants nothing to do with being married to Dalton.

Robert and Anthony by K.L. Noone: Tonight's ball celebrates Robert's engagement and his intended's fortune. But Robert's in love with someone he can't have: his secretary Anthony. Anthony's family once was wealthy, though now he works for a living. But he's had some success as a secret lurid novelist, and he's hopelessly in love with Robert. When disaster strikes, secrets are revealed, and everything changes.

One Night in London

Frost & Raine

Fairy-companions were rare, but not unheard of. Oliver couldn’t remember a time without his, but his companion, Tirian, has secrets of his own regarding his purpose, his magic, his fairy blood, his feelings for Oliver, and a prophecy that will change the fates of two kingdoms forever.

A Prophecy for Two

Giant magical snails aren’t exactly at the top of the list of heroic quests. But the village of Dun Nas needs help, and Aric needs money: being a legendary swordsman might be nice, but so is getting paid. Anyway, snails -- even giant ones -- aren’t anything he can’t handle, especially with his half-fairy partner Emrys. Together, the Storm-Wielder and the Shadow can fight anything, or so the stories say. But this job’s more complicated than it seems. The lake holds a dangerous magical mystery. Aric trusts Emrys with his life -- but he’d also love to offer his heart, and he doesn’t know whether Em feels the same. Em isn’t human, after all ... and has a few secrets of their own.

The Snails of Dun Nas

Kris Starr used to be famous. Rock and roll. Sold-out shows. Literal magic. Empathic talents and screaming fans. But he has a problem or two. He's having a hard time writing new music. It’s Midwinter, which means he’s surrounded by depressing holiday cheer. And he's in love with Justin, his manager, who has a talent for rescuing almost- or once-famous bands ... and who’s hiding secrets of his own. Justin Moore, on the other hand, is very good at keeping those secrets -- he's had to be for years. One secret involves a demonic inheritance that would make him a target of suspicion. Another involves his past. And the third involves Justin’s feelings for Kris Starr, rock and roll icon and now his client ... and a powerful empath of his own.

Jason Mirelli can’t play adrenaline-fueled action heroes forever. He’s getting older, plus the action star parts have grown a little thinner since he came out as bisexual.

His co-star: award-winning, overly talkative, annoyingly adorable -- and openly gay – box office idol Colby Kent.

But scars and secrets from his past make filming a love story difficult ... until Jason takes his hand and wakes up all his buried desires. Jason could be everything Colby’s ever wanted: generous and kind, a fantastic partner on set, not to mention those heroic muscles. But Colby just can’t take that chance ... or can he? As their characters fall in love and fight a war, Colby and Jason find themselves falling, too ... and facing the return of their own past demons. But together they just might win ... and write their own love story.
