KC Burn präsentiert die Toronto Tales Serie, bestehend aus drei
Romanzen, in denen Männer ihren Lebensunterhalt - und ihre Leben -
für die Liebe riskieren. Küss mich, Bulle (Toronto Tales: Buch
1): Detective Kurt O'Donnell steht vor der Entscheidung, sich zu
outen, fürchtet jedoch um seine katholische Familie und seinen
Job. Kann er das alles wirklich riskieren, um sich auf eine
unsichere Zukunft mit einem noch trauernden Mann einzulassen?
Vertrau mir, Bulle (Toronto Tales: Buch 2): Als Ivan Bekker auf
Beweise stö t, dass sein Freund in ein Verbrechen verwickelt ist,
muss er sich entscheiden: Soll er seine Beziehung ohne Rücksicht
auf Konsequenzen beschützen oder seine Karriere retten, indem er
den Mann verhaftet, den er liebt? Ausgesto en (Toronto Tales: Buch
3): Rick und Ian fühlen sich augenblicklich heftig zueinander
hingezogen. Ian überzeugt Rick davon, seine Regeln immer häufiger
zu missachten und Ian sein wahres Ich zu zeigen. Als Ians Job

Lebensunterhalt auch ihre Herzen in Gefahr.
Detective Ivan Bekker ist ganz unten angekommen. Während er noch
mit der Trennung von seinem untreuen Freund kämpft, geraten er und
seine Kollegen bei einer Razzia in einen Hinterhalt. Ivan muss zum

ermittelt wird, überredet sein Vorgesetzter ihn zu einem
inoffiziellen Einsatz als verdeckter Ermittler, um den Fall
aufzuklären. Die Zeit drängt, denn auf dem Revier könnte es eine
undichte Stelle geben. Auf sich allein gestellt und aus dem
Gleichgewicht gebracht spielt Ivan einen frisch geschiedenen Mann
und wird Parker Wakefields neuer Mitbewohner. Allerdings kann er
kaum glauben, dass der liebenswerte Parker kriminell oder gar in
den Drogenhandel der Russenmafia verwickelt sein soll, und lässt
sich dazu hinrei en, ihm näherzukommen. So unprofessionell seine
Gefühle auch sind - er kann Parker einfach nicht widerstehen. Als
Ivan schlie lich doch auf Beweise für ein Verbrechen stö t, muss
er sich entscheiden: Soll er Parker ohne Rücksicht auf
Konsequenzen beschützen oder seine Karriere retten, indem er den
Mann verhaftet, den er liebt?

Der kalifornische Feuerwehrmann Hayden Hurst beginnt zu erkennen,
dass es mehr im Leben gibt, als gegen Feuer zu kämpfen und mit
seinen Freunden zu trinken. Er hätte in seinem Haus und seinem
Leben Platz für jemand Besonderen, aber bisher ragt unter seinen
Verabredungen niemand heraus. Und während er auf der Arbeit
geoutet ist, ist es eine Sache zuzugeben, dass er schwul ist und
eine ganz andere, bei sozialen Anlässen mit einem Mann
aufzutauchen. Er hat Angst, dass das für seine wenig
aufgeschlossenen „Freunde“ zu viel wäre.Der Broadway-Tänzer
Jez Bouchet wurde nie mehr irrtümlich für hetero gehalten, seit
er mit siebzehn für sein Schwulsein zusammengeschlagen wurde. Nach
einem lukrativen Jobangebot in Hollywood löst er sein Leben in New
York auf und fährt nach Los Angeles. Sein Bruder, der Haydens
bester Freund ist, organisiert für ihn, dass er bei Hayden
übernachten kann.Die Anziehungskraft zwischen Hayden und Jez ist
unerwartet, aber feurig und sie erliegen der Versuchung, bevor sie
überhaupt sicher sind, dass sie einander mögen. Aber Jez hasst
Haydens homophobe Freunde und Hayden weiß, dass Jez zu extravagant
ist, um unter dem Radar zu fliegen. Und dann ist da auch noch
Jez’ Bruder.Trotz dieser Hürden stürzen sie sich in eine
Beziehung. Aber Jez hat Geheimnisse: einen kleinen, verzogenen Hund
und einen entschlossenen Stalker. Wenn er nicht mit offenen Karten
spielt, läuft er Gefahr, ihre aufkeimende Beziehung zu zerstören,
noch ehe sie die Chance hatte, aufzublühen.
California firefighter Hayden Hurst is starting to realize there's
more to life than fighting fires and drinking with his buddies. He
has room in his home and his life for someone special, but no one
has stood out among his hookups. And while he's out at work,
admitting he's gay is very different from showing up at social
functions with a man. He's afraid that'll be too much for his
less-than-accepting "friends." Broadway dancer Jez Bouchet hasn't
been mistaken for straight since he was gay-bashed at seventeen.
After getting a lucrative job offer in Hollywood, he uproots his
life in New York and drives to Los Angeles. His brother, who is
Hayden's best friend, arranges for him to crash at Hayden's place.
The attraction between Hayden and Jez is unexpected but fiery, and
they succumb before they're even sure they like each other. But Jez
hates Hayden's homophobic friends, and Hayden knows Jez is too
flamboyant for him to fly under the radar. Then there's the
complication of Jez's brother. Despite those hurdles, they fling
themselves into a relationship. But Jez has secrets: a tiny spoiled
dog and a determined stalker. If he doesn't come clean, he might
torch their burgeoning relationship before it has a chance to
bloom.
Punk's not dead, but it's time to redefine life. Devlin Waters
thought he'd have music forever. But the tragic death of his best
friend ended the twenty-year run of his punk band, Negative
Impression. Unable to process the loss, Devlin distances himself
from everyone and everything that reminds him of the band. But
forty-one is too young to curl up and wait for the end. In a search
for a second career, he finds himself at university with a bunch of
kids young enough to be… his kids. His sexy archeology professor,
however, makes Devlin think about life beyond his grief…. Dr.
Jack Johnson does not appreciate Devlin's lack of respect, his
inability to be serious, or his chronic lateness. Worse, he hates
that he's attracted to a student. When he realizes Devlin is the
rock star he crushed on in his youth, he drops his guard—against
his better judgment. Before they can move forward together, Jack
must admit to Devlin that he's not only an admirer, but he also
sings in a cover band. How will Devlin react to his ultimate fanboy
when his own music has died?
Riley Parker: temp, twink, geek… sleuth? Maybe Riley isn't living
up to his full potential, but being a temp executive assistant
suits him. He's never bored at work, he's got friends who let him
geek out, and he's got a carefully crafted twink exterior… which
might be getting constrictive now that he's on the other side of
thirty. Life isn't perfect, but it's comfortable. It all unravels
when he takes a job working for a tea-obsessed cosmetics queen, the
owner of Gautier Cosmetics. During the launch party for a new
product, Riley finds his boss dead under suspicious circumstances,
and the homicide detective is none other than Tadeo Martin, Riley's
high school obsession who never knew he was alive. Tad drafts Riley
to get the scoop on the inner workings of Gautier, and for Riley,
it's like a drug. His natural inquisitiveness is rewarded with more
and more Tad. Unfortunately, his snooping puts him in the running
for two other roles: suspect and victim. The killer doesn't care
which.
A Fabric Hearts Story Tate Buchanan is a troublemaker who can't
keep a job, no matter how many times his lucky argyle sweater gets
him hired. Add to that a learning disability and an impetuous
nature that sends him into altercations to protect the defenseless,
and he hardly manages to make friends, let alone find a man who's
interested in him for more than one night. Most people think
EMT Jaime Escobar is a player, but the truth is he wants a serious
partner—he just can't justify wasting time on guys he knows
aren't a match. But when he treats a gorgeous redhead after a
fight, he finds the spark he's spent so many years looking
for. Jaime wants to take the next step with Tate, but it's
clear Tate's not going to curb his impulsive behavior—his next
fight sends him to the hospital. Jaime's relationship with a near
criminal isn't something his family is ready to accept, not any
more than Tate is willing to be kept a secret. Jaime will need a
lot of understanding—and some luck of his own—to keep them
both. But this is one fight he's going to see through to the end.
Les contes de Toronto, tome 3 À trente-cinq ans, Rick Haviland est

plus de ses règles et ses défenses s'effondrent. Mais quelqu'un
les surveille, quelqu'un qui aimerait voir cette nouvelle relation

d'exposer le secret de Rick, leurs carrières et leurs coeurs
pourraient bien être détruits.
A Fabric Hearts Story Two years after his life fell apart, Will
Dawson moved to Florida to start over. His job in the tech
department of Idyll Fling, a gay porn studio, is ideal for him.
When his boss forces him to take on a new hire, the last person he
expects is Dallas Greene—the man who cost him his job and his
boyfriend back in Connecticut. He doesn't know what's on Dallas's
agenda, but he won't be blindsided by a wolf masquerading as a
runway model. Not again. Dallas might have thrown himself on his
brother's mercy, but his skills are needed at Idyll Fling. Working
with Will is a bonus, since Dallas has never forgotten the man. A
good working relationship is only the beginning of what Dallas
wants with Will. But Dallas doesn't realize how deep Will's
distrust runs, and Will doesn't know that the man he's torn between
loving and hating is the boss's brother. When all truths are
revealed, how can a relationship built on lies still stand?

A Fabric Hearts Story Finlay McIntyre (aka Raven) is a successful
adult film star with a penchant for kilts, until an accident cuts
short his stardom and leaves him with zero sexual desire, lowered
self-esteem, and no job. He knew his porn career wouldn't last
forever, but he wasn't prepared for retirement at twenty-eight.
While trying to figure out the rest of his life, Raven agrees to
attend a high school reunion. That's when a malfunctioning AC unit
in his hotel room changes everything. Caleb Sanderson, an
entrepreneur with his own HVAC business, has no idea what to expect
when he steps into Raven's hotel room to fix his AC unit. They're
attracted to each other, but Caleb, closeted, can't afford a gay
relationship, not with his mom pressuring him to produce
grandchildren. If he wants to keep Raven—who no closet could
hold—he'll need to tell his family the truth. But Raven has a few
secrets of his own. He refuses to reveal his porn past to Caleb, a
past that might be the final obstacle to Caleb and Raven having any
kind of relationship.

at a loss about how to conduct himself as a gay man. As a
construction manager, he's not interested in being out at work, but
he'd like to find a boyfriend or at least some gay friends. Two
years after his wife got all their friends in the divorce, he's no
closer to the life he wants. Zach, Luke's adult son, takes charge
and signs him up for the Rainbow Blues, a social group for gay
blue-collar workers. At an event, he not only finds friends but
meets Jimmy Alexander, part-time stage actor and full-time high
school biology teacher. Jimmy loves the stage but wishes potential
boyfriends weren't so jealous of the time he devotes to it. When he
meets Luke and finds him accepting of his many facets, he thinks

Sometimes Stratford Dale feels like Doctor Chicken consumes his
life. It s his pen name for a series of wildly popular children s
books. They were his brainchild; he meant for them to be a way to
pay his many bills while he pursued his dream of publishing graphic
novels. But the Doctor Chicken contract was a raw deal. Instead, he
churns out book after book for a pittance, leaving him broke and no
closer to his dreams.
Stratford s dreams of love have fared no better, but he s still
trying. After yet another disastrous date, he s intrigued by a man
going into a cooking class so he takes the class too. Vinnie Giani
is a successful, self-made man who is charmed by Stratford s bow
ties, sharp humor, and clumsiness which leads to an opportunity to
take Stratford in for stitches. Vinnie is, above all, responsible,
having taken on the care of his mother and sisters from a young
age. Perhaps it s natural when he begins to treat Stratford more as
a child who needs a parent than as an equal partner. But when
Vinnie tries to fix Stratford s career woes including the Doctor
Chicken problem and ends up making the situation worse, their
fledgling relationship may not withstand the the strain created by
blame and lies.
