OUT NOW! Coloring Outside the Lines by A.F. Henley

After leaving the city for a quieter life in the town of Sunridge, population 5,428, Rory Finch is regretting his life choices. While his partner Gabe gets more and more distant, Rory feels it all slipping away from him: time, happiness, and his career. After another argument, Rory drives away, unsure of his destination. An empty gas tank leads him to the only thing still open in town, a bar. There, he meets the beautiful, young Danny Weber.

Danny has lived in Sunridge his entire life. He’s pleasant, relaxed, and completely fine with just being friends if that’s what Rory wants.

However, as their friendship grows, so too do Rory’s feelings for Danny. Although Rory continues to tell himself that they are only friends, he’s more than aware of the looming decision he’s going to have to make: commit himself to rekindling his relationship with Gabe, or throw it all away and start over.

Wolf Box Set by A.F. Henley

OUT NOW! Wolf Box Set by A.F. Henley

From the remote, wild corners of Wolf, Wyoming, to the even wilder streets of Washington, DC, something strange is going on with the O’Connell family. Be it the new ex-lawyer in town or the folks that go bump in the night, it seems like everyone wants to know exactly what that thing is — and how they can get their own piece of the beastly O’Connell bloodline. Dark forces hide in dark corners, and nothing attracts them more than dark secrets.

Contains the stories:

Wolf, WY: Still nursing wounds left by a cheating ex, Wolf, Wyoming seems like the perfect place for Randy to start over. When a misunderstanding brings Randy face to face with his hot new neighbor and his neighbor’s son, he’s not sure what to make of either of them. Things are not what they appear in Wolf, and the closer Randy gets, the stranger the O’Connell family seems.

Wolf, en Garde: Sick of watching his father love the man Lyle wanted, he accepts an offer to leave Wolf, WY. Free to experience life on his own terms, Lyle comes across a seductive, fascinating stranger in Washington, DC. It doesn’t take Lyle long to realize Arius is dangerous, though, and when Lyle runs across a secret in Arius’ lair, he has no choice but to flee to the only safe place he knows — home.

Wolf, in League: After months of silence from the O’Connell family, and suspicious of what took place in DC, the Committee recruits one of their new residents, Dr. Matthew Dietrich, to infiltrate the family. Matthew is a loner and has no idea why they’d want him, especially with his skepticism over shifters. That all changes when he meets his new partner in the Committee’s scheme, Dr. Gavin Strauss.

Still Standing by A.F. Henley

OUT NOW! Still Standing by A.F. Henley

Bryson Merritt may have started life as a broken baby in a basket, but he got lucky with an extraordinary set of circumstances that brought him his adoptive parents. Rich, supportive, and kind, they’ve given Bryson everything he’s ever needed in order to deal with his ongoing recovery issues. If only they could give him some luck when it comes to picking out the right kind of guy.

When Bryson meets Duke at a horse auction, all he can think about is getting Duke’s sweaty hands all over his body. Until he meets Beau — the beautiful dark horse in Duke’s care, who shares Bryson’s mobility and pain issues — and realises exactly where Beau’s final destination is. Enraged by what he sees as an unfair, undeserving, and cruel punishment, Bryson decides to buy Beau, problems or not, experience or no, and walks away without looking back.

However, once again forces have gathered to help Bryson out, and Bryson finds himself working alongside Duke for the sake of Beau. Bryson’s attraction is rekindled, but now Duke isn’t interested at all. Worse still, it looks like a possible relationship with Duke isn’t the only thing that is going to end in tragedy.

Hello, all! I’d like start by offering my heartfelt congratulations to JMS Books on an impressive decade of continued growth and success, with my sincere hopes that there are many more decades to follow. Félicitations, JMS! Tous mes compliments.

From what I’ve seen in the indie publication industry, there is no guaranteed recipe for success. It takes a huge amount of willpower, determination, and drive, not to mention a whole lot of luck. But it also takes empathy, consideration, and a strong desire to take on someone else’s dream as your own. It means putting faith in another person’s vision, and offering them support in fulfilling those goals. It also means doing everything possible to gently guide and develop those ideas into something better than they started out as. That is no small feat, and one that I feel is worthy of my respect and appreciation. Thank you, JMS.

2020 has been a year of heartache, loss, confusion, and frustration. As we’ve done so many times before, our community has rallied together to offer up all the support and love that we can. Yet for every step forward, there seems to have been three steps backward. Be it illness, riots, or just the sheer lack of respect humanity can have for one another, it feels like the wheels of progress aren’t just grinding slowly, but that they might have slipped into reverse. In 1969 the LGTBQ+ community stood up and said they weren’t going to take any more of the bullshit and brought the fight for inclusion and human rights out into the streets. It’s been five decades since then, yet there are still people and communities who are fighting for their right to exist or to love.

And that right there, beyond the effort put into a business and on a much higher level of expectation than mere profit, is the true importance of what distributors like JMS are doing for our community. Because while every story — no, every word — that we write with respect to romance under the LGBTQ+ umbrella is one more step at normalizing love beyond the borders of cis expectations, every one that actually gets published shines a spotlight on the validity of the fact that love truly is love, regardless of whom loves who or how their parts fit together. It reminds the world that we all deserve the love we need to make us feel whole because it sets our stories up there alongside all the other ones, where they belong. It cements the idea that intimacy between consenting adults comes in many different examples of desire — and there’s nothing wrong with that.

Our stories, our love, and our experiences are beautiful. Thank you, JMS, for giving our community a platform to not only display and explore the brilliance of the entire rainbow, but to share it with others who feel the same way that we do.

Happy anniversary, JMS! Bonne chance pour l’avenir!

Malcolm didn’t have a lot going for him. He wasn’t one of the blessed, or one of the beautiful. He didn’t have many talents. He was, however, a damn good chef. He worked hard and he insisted on perfection — not just from himself but also from everyone else in his kitchen. And if that made others miserable, that was just too damn bad. If one couldn’t live up to expectations then one didn’t belong at Burgeon Manor.

Darien on the other hand, was everything Malcolm envied, hated, and secretly fantasized over. Lean, slim, with a smile that could melt ice and enough charm to woo demons, Darien surprised Malcolm by showing not only interest but also attraction. Which only meant one thing as far as Malcolm was concerned: Darien had to be playing some kind of game. There was no way that a rock god like Darien Flint could have honest feelings for someone like him.

Yet the more Darien tries to know him, the more Malcolm feels himself being drawn into the lie.
