NOW TODAY IS:

Blurb:

Braden Porter and Vince Guiterrez have been a couple for nearly a year. But because of Braden's fear of being outed, their relationship has moved slowly. Too slowly for Vince. Braden knows that if he doesn't take the next step and ask Vince to move in with him, he might lose Vince for good. A chance encounter during a towing job to Boston helps Braden make his decision, but will he dare tell Vince his choice?

Excerpt:

  If Vince was a girl, we would have already been living together, probably, if what my buddies had done was any indication. Most of them had shacked up with their high school sweethearts as soon as graduations was over. Some of them even had the whole"two kids and a picket fence" thing going on. But Vince wasn't a girl, and neither was I, and it made things complicated as hell.

  "You're thinking too much," he said. "Maybe I should go home."

  "No." Before I could stop myself, I wrapped my arms around him and held him tight. Being paranoid wasn't enough reason to take a chance losing him. "Stay, please."

  He tensed but didn't make me let go of him. "Why am I staying, Braden? So we can fuck? Not that I mind the idea, but if you're using it to get out of talking to me, I won't be happy."

  "Yeah, I don't mind the idea of fucking you either, but it isn't why." I lay us down again so I could snuggle right up against him.

  "Why then?"

  I took a deep breath. I really had no clue what I was about to say. "I love you. I don't want you to go. Look, I get that you don't have anywhere to live after this week. Obviously I don't want you out on the street, and there aren't a hell of a lot of places to rent here in town."

  "Farmington's just down the road," he said. "Skowhegan isn't much farther. Norridgwock. All those laces have apartments. Of course, in Farmington I'd have to deal with all the university kids and their partying."

  "Yeah." Some of those college guys were pretty hot and about my age, early twenties. I definitely didn't want Vince living with them. One of them might catch his eye, and we'd be done.

  Did I mention I was Paranoid?

  "I don't want you out of town," I said. "then it would be even harder to get together. I need to think, Vince, that's all."

  "You think too much." He kissed my forehead. "All the time, you think too much."

  "Yeah, I do." I snuggled even tighter against him. "We won't be just roommates if you move in."

  "Hell no."

 "So I have to make sure I'm ready to handle it." I swallowed a lump that showed up in my throat. "It's a big deal to me, okay? I've never lived with anyone, never even thought about it. Just like I never had a relationship before you. I don't want to fuck it up."

  "Living together takes work," he said. "Just like being in a relationship. As long as we're willing to do the work, we'll be okay, but I get what you're saying. I can't give you a lot of time to think about it, Braden. I have to know if I'm moving here or what, and I don't want to find out the night before I get kicked out."

  "I'm going to Boston tomorrow. It'll give me time to think. I can let you know tomorrow night." I had no clue if I'd be able to make that kind of decision so fast. I just knew I had to try.

  He nodded. "Okay. I'm going to hold you to that."

NOW TODAY IS:

Blurb:

It’s another Christmas at Forbes Ranch and this year the family is playing Cupid with Grayson and Jared’s best friend Steve Yarrow. Years before, Steve’s heart was broken by the love of his life Dalton Emory who left him to further his career by marrying a woman with a rich daddy. Now, divorced, outed and publicly humiliated, Dalton is trying to build a business and keep a low profile. He doesn’t believe he deserves a second chance with Steve after the way he hurt him. However, Dalton didn’t reckon with his former lover’s interfering friends, the depth of Steve’s love nor the forgiveness the spirit of Christmas can offer. Can one lonely, broken cowboy forgive himself and accept the love that has always belonged to him? And will the Forbes tradition of Christmas Eve Happily Ever Afters give Steve and Dalton the future they never thought they’d have?

K-Lee Klein - Countdown To Santa

Countdown to Santa is the sequel to K-Lee's Father's Day story: Countdown to Daddies.

Blurb:

Gabe and Matteo have settled into the highs and lows of new fatherhood - exhaustion, dirty diapers, baby bottles and a whole lot of love. But as their first family Christmas looms on the horizon, Matteo is worried about how his partner is handling his new role as Papa Gabe.

There's no doubt Gabe adores the twins, but his libido, sense of proportion and perhaps his sanity seem to have disappeared under the strain. Matteo is determined to make their new family work, but it may take thinking outside the box to get back the calm, sensible Gabe he planned to share fatherhood and the rest of his life with.

Released Dec 16

Excerpt:

  Gabe and their sweet babies make up Matteo's whole world. If he was a twelve-year-old girl, he’d be scribbling his and Gabe's names in hot pink hearts all over his notebook.

  He really loves Gabe and he absolutely adores his babies and though he had never imagined having the perfect family or any family for that matter, he can't fathom what he'd do without them now. Unfortunately, he had also never imagined that having a family would turn his easy-going partner into a baby-paranoid, shopping-obsessed lunatic.

  To be fair, Matteo knew all about Gabe's obsessive-compulsive behaviors before they decided to have kids—the clean freak Gabe, the no-starch-or-maybe-just-a-tad Gabe, the did-you-take-your-shoes-off-and-check-the-bottom-of-your-socks Gabe. Matteo knew and loved them all, even the change-the-sheets-right-after-we-have-sex-no-matter-whether-it-was-fuck-o'clock-in-the-morning-or-not Gabe, but Papa-Gabe takes all those quirky and manageable other Gabes and crazily wipes the floor with them.

  Matteo is the first to admit his heart melts at just how much Gabe adores Dominik and Megan, which he really, really does. Gabe's baby worship was obvious from the first moment he held Megan and she proceeded to wail until her face was the color of a strawberry fresh from the plant. And he still looked on her as the most beautiful baby girl in the whole world. It was obvious from the first time he changed Niki and received a little newborn golden shower—despite Matteo's warning—and still laughed.

  So, yeah, Matteo is fully aware of how much Gabe loves him and their twins but if Gabe doesn't stop his over-indulgent, paranoid behavior, Matteo doesn't know what he'll do. Some days fleeing for Canada seems like the best option while other days the Witness Protection program sounds very, very good. He'd be doing it for the twins, of course, since Dominik, Niki, and Megan, Sweetpea, still have a chance of being normal, functioning, non-batshit-crazy children. But Gabe… Gabe seemed to be teetering precariously close to the deep end of the pool where the bottom suddenly falls out and drowning is the only option.

BIO:

~~L-Lee Klein has lived in one part of Western Canada or another for her entire life. She's a doting mother of three now grown kids and has had characters and plot bunnies running around her head for as long as she can remember. Though she's fairly new at throwing her original fiction out into the web universe, she hopes to substitute her passion for writing beautiful, emotional men for her previous jobs as a hockey Manager/coach, school band volunteer and overall chauffeur.

~~She lives with an overly-patient husband who totally does not get her thing for gay men, two spoiled but wonderful sons (who don't get it either), two also spoiled but beautiful cats, many phone calls with her daughter who has already left the nest, and an abundance of fabulous gay men, large and small, bouncing off the walls of her skull, competing for their turns to tell their stories.

Blurb:

Even gay dads have pregnancy pains.

Matteo and Gabe have everything they could ever want out of life, except for a family all their own. When Gabe's twin sister offers to be their surrogate, it's a dream come true until she insists they be completely involved in the pregnancy. The new dads quickly realize they may have bitten off more than they can chew.

Blurb:

For the past few years, Bill has struggled with the loss of his life partner, Kevin, and his attraction to Kevin's twin, Trevor. Is it Trevor he really wants, or does he just want his life back? Two days before Christmas, when Trevor appears at his door, he knows it's time to finally decide if he can live again.

Excerpt:

“You want a drink?”

Bill downed the last swallow of his scotch and thunked the empty glass down. “Sure.”

He folded his arms over his chest, using his shoulder to prop up the doorframe as Trevor opened a bottle of rum and proceeded to snap ice-cubes out of the freezer tray into two glasses fetched from the cupboard. He poured a liberal amount of rum into one and a splash into the other, then filled them with ’nog. He took his time stirring the strong drink while he sipped the other and examined Bill from across the room.

“You’re getting thin.”

It wasn’t even close to the opening gambit Bill expected, and it left him momentarily speechless. Then he remembered this was Trevor, not Kevin. No matter how much he might look like his dead twin, Trevor would never tell Bill he looked like shit, even if it was true.

Bill grunted and took the drink. He gulped half of it down and spun away into the living room. Trevor followed him.

“Something I should know?”

“Like what?”

“Bill, c’mon.” He stopped behind Bill, but didn’t raise his voice from the same, quiet calm he’d started with. “I was there too. I know about weight loss and sickness and looking tired. If there was something wrong, you’d tell me, right?”

Hi, everyone. I'd like to invite you over to Freya's Bower. Sometime in the next few days, you will find a free read there, just a little thank you to the readers who make this gig possible, and so very enjoyable.

Thanks to Michelle for offering me the opportunity and being the apparently tireless editor she is, and to the rest of the FB team for supporting my habit. You all rock immensely.

Blurb:


When Allan Song’s ex, Mac, shows up to model for the life drawing class Allan teaches, he turns everything upside-down. Mac is still as infuriatingly attractive as when Allan first met him—and still trying to figure out where he fits on the gender spectrum. He’s more than a little out of control, and he’s taken some stupid risks that have come back to haunt him. If they’re going to get back together, Allan wants a real relationship—but for that, he and Mac will need to look below the surface.
