Dish of the Day by Clare London

Dish of the Day by Clare London is now available!

Blurb:

Three men together. Diverse tastes … one common love.

Richie Morton’s sunk all his hopes and savings into a new restaurant in South London promoting British ingredients and recipes. Yet on opening night, it all seems to be heading for disaster. Lost ingredients, manic chefs, no sign of the customers … he’s in despair. And where are his best friends Craig and Ben, who’ve been helping him set up the new venture? The least they could offer is moral support.

When they do eventually step in, though, they offer support of a very different kind. They tell Richie some home truths — that he pushes himself too much, and must learn to share and trust his life with others. With them, specifically. And then, when Richie’s still unconvinced, they decide to let actions speak for their love instead. They’ll help him relax and dish up a caring, sexy, and far more intimate menu.

Meant To Be by Terry O’Reilly

Meant To Be by Terry O’Reilly is now available!

Blurb:

Howie Bosley has very strict rules about dating men. Get to know him, fall in love with him, then — and only then — go to bed with him. But, as Howie’s friends frequently point out, his rules aren’t working because he’s still single.

Just when Howie is about to ease up on his rules, he meets an Adonis at the gym who goes by the name of Matthew Timmons. Matthew is also looking to get to know someone before hopping into the sack. Is this destiny?

But Matthew had planned a very different life path for himself, one that didn’t involve falling in love. Conflicted, he makes the painful decision to cut off all contact with Howie.

What is Matthew hiding? Suddenly Howie’s fairy tale romance has taken an abrupt turn, and he doesn’t know if there’s anything he can do to get it back on track. Isn’t their happy ending meant to be?

Submission Call — Games We Play (LGBTQ Romance Stories)

CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS

Games We Play (LGBTQ Romance Stories)

Deadline: December 31, 2017
Payment: 50% net royalties from all channels, to be paid quarterly
Contract: 2 years exclusive, auto-renews

NOTE: This isn’t an anthology; the stories will be released as individual ebooks with unique covers.

For this submissions call, we’re looking for sexy romance and erotic romance LGBT stories involving games. Not the he-said/she-said variety, but games the characters play that bring them together.

Maybe a man finds the love of his life in the opponent facing off against him in the final round of a Scrabble tournament. Or a married couple invites a friend over for a rousing game of strip poker. Does an online RPG bring together lovers IRL? What happens when an innocent game of Twister moves from the floor to the bed? And just how rowdy can a game of Cards Against Humanity get?

These stories aren’t limited to board, card, or video games. Sport stories are also welcome as long as the romance is between two players (they can be facing off against each other on opposing teams or playing on the same side).

The books will NOT be released as an anthology, and there is no upfront payment; authors will be paid quarterly on actual sales earned. If you haven’t published with us before, feel free to request a sample contract prior to submission.

NOTE: We will not be able to accept stories whose titles contain trademarked or copyrighted names (such as Scrabble, Twister, or Cards Against Humanity). However, these and other trademarked game names may be used in the story.

  • Stories must be between 12,000 words or longer
  • Stories must contain a romance — any heat level, from sweet to erotic

Contract: 2 years exclusive, auto-renews

NOTE: This isn’t an anthology; the stories will be released as individual ebooks with unique covers.

For this submissions call, we’re looking for sexy romance and erotic romance LGBTQ stories in which music plays a major part in the characters’ lives.

Basically these stories are about characters who find a common passion in music … and each other.

The story can contain any LGBTQ pairing in any subgenre, but the main characters must be involved in a romance (sweet or erotic) and music must be an integral part of the story. Stories by #ownvoices authors are welcome, but ultimately we’re looking for fictional stories and not memoirs (even fictionalized ones).
