Let There Be Light

Secret agent Hart spent years working alongside Karol, concealing his love for him. Then a mission gone wrong left Hart near death, and Karol quit the Service and vanished from his life. But a new threat is about to close the distance between them. For one day, Karol will have only a single guard to watch over him, and Hart doesn't trust anyone else to keep Karol safe.

And I Am Happy

In a late Victorian England where cars exist, if only for the rich, and telephones are a symbol of wealth, a progressive spirit has led to the appearance of acceptance. But though certain laws have been repealed it doesn't mean people's attitudes have changed or that class differences don't still exist. Will is content to serve his gentleman with no expectations of anything more. He only wants his master to be happy. Will makes Charlie smile but master and servant is all they can ever be, or is it?

With Everything I Have

In a late Victorian England where cars exist, even though they aren't exactly comfortable, and computers allow the shy to avoid human contact, a progressive spirit has led to a begrudging acceptance of the sexuality of certain members of society. The sodomy laws have been repealed so that two men might spend the rest of their lives together, but that is no guarantee of happiness. Peter risks his neck driving at dangerous speeds for fun but sees passion as something to be frightened of. Sebastian has been struggling to get Peter to realize his own feelings for years but he is starting to worry that it may never happen. Peter seems to want no part of the future that Sebastian is offering him, on the surface at least. But a future without Sebastian might be something that not even a mind like Peter's can imagine.
