Ancient codes and a legendary killer lure a young detective into a dark and dangerous world. When a murdered historian is marked with a mysterious code, homicide detective Dee Brentano worries about his colleague - her missing father, Alexandre. FBI special agent J. R. Pierce tells her that Alexandre is wanted for this murder. Desperate to find him first, she discovers that Alexandre has items that several people - including Pierce - would kill to possess. One is a letter attributed to Jack the Ripper. Another is an erotic cryptograph. Dee encounters a potential ally in Detective Gregory Brenner. She's attracted to him, but fears that he's playing her to find her father. She's also drawn to her father's protégé, Scott Bateman, who can decode the Ripper letter's secret message and the symbol on the murdered historian. It's bait for luring supernatural entities. It's also a map to locating her father. Dee must choose her path wisely. One leads to a supernatural lover, the other to an immortal serial killer.

In book one of this classic gay pirate historical, originally published in the 1970s, the young Englishman Alan Steele yearns for adventure and a seafaring life. Even if the reality doesn't quite match up to his fantasies, there's still plenty of romance, danger and the tantalizing promise of wealth for a young man willing to take risks.From Bristol, England to Spanish plantations in the Caribbean, Alan and his new friends Henry, Malcolm and Morgan go from cabin boys to captains packing lifetimes full of love, sex, injustice and rebellion into a few years, emerging tough-yet still tender-men who know what (and who) they want.Pirates of the Caribbean has nothing on this rollicking novel of young men and the sea!

Thanksgiving…the sexiest time of the year..NOT!Thanksgiving needs a marketing do-over.

And maybe even a trip back home to rekindle old flames.In these pages you'll find some bonafide Thanksgiving smut, but this is mostly a collection of hot spanking stories featuring everything from alpha werewolves to strict librarians, and even an installment in Trinity's Blacio's continuing naughty stepbrother series.Giving Spanks by Jack StrattonLove in the Elevator by Renee RoseTommy Takes Off His Boots by Ryan FieldA Super Spanking by Louisa BacioHappy Birthday by Oleander PlumeSpank Me, Mr. Darcy by Lissa Trevor and Jane AustenSpanked by Her Stepbrother by Trinity BlacioShe Has to Touch by Jennifer WilliamsPunishment Befitting the Crime by DL King

Best Bi Short Stories is the first book of its kind, a literary anthology bringing together the very finest representations of bisexuality in fiction. The bisexuality of characters, like in real people, can be invisible to readers unless explicitly brought to their attention. Invisibility leads to underrepresentation, and on bookstore shelves that has certainly been true. Best Bi Short Stories hopes to change that by presenting the very best quality, cast in a bold light. With an all-star author lineup ranging from Katherine Forrest to Jane Rule, Ann Herendeen to Jan Steckel, and curated by longtime bi activist Sheela Lambert, Best Bi Short Stories encompasses several genres. The authors are a diverse group, as well, and Lambert sought representation across age groups, cultures, ethnicities and sexualities in both the authors and stories, demonstrating the richness of bi experience. Best Bi Short Stories contains the following stories: Dual Citizenship by Storm Grant Alone, As Always by Jenny Corvette Companions by Kate Durre Pennies in the Well by Rob Barton The Decision by Ammy Achenbach Coyote Takes a Trip by Deborah Miranda The Lottery by Florence Ivy Angels Dance by James Williams The Idiom of Orchids by Camille Thomas Mother Knows Best by Charles Bright "...Leave a Light on for Ya" by Gretchen Turner Dragon's Daughter by Cecilia Tan Pride/Prejudice by Ann Herendeen Challenger Deep by Kathleen Bradean Mr. Greene by Ours M.
