General of the Roman army and nephew of the emperor Marius is gifted a pleasure slave by a twisted noble seeking favor. Although not into men, Marius has no choice but to accept the malnourished Celt, Kyle. As the two get to know each other, different feelings emerge, and the growing bond between them puts both men in danger. Omnia Vincit Amor by Maxime Jaz is an ambitious epic love story in three parts that doesn’t follow a typical #MMromance plot.

Kyle was captured at a young age in Britannia after the rest of his family were killed, and quickly “broken in” as a sex slave, trained to give pleasure to whoever he was given to. He has spent many years chained to a bed in the noble’s house, only released to “entertain” at parties. It’s a wretched life, but all he knows. When he is torn away from that and thrown in with a seemingly volatile Roman general, he feels totally lost.

Renaissance is out today! I didn't send it out early enough to get any pull quotes or blurbs. Oh well. It's a good book. It's the longest book I've written, actually.

Also, here is an artwork I commissioned from LIS Photoart on Instagram. (I don't think he's on Mastodon.)

“Dublin Bay” by John Patrick is a complex #MMRomance.

James is a seventeen-year-old working-class Irish man just out of school and looking for his first job. He’s picking mussels from Dublin Bay one day to feed his family when he spots another young man his age on the dock. James is mesmerized by the blond youth, Otto, who also seems attracted to James. Otto is German, and he and his father are on the dock seeing off Otto’s mother. It’s 1939, and what will become World War II is just starting in earnest. Otto makes his father buy the mussels from James, and before he knows it, James and his sister Bella are employed by Otto’s father to take care of their home. Otto and James soon become more than friends and are committed to finding a way to be together. As if their relationship weren’t dangerous enough, the two young men do what they can to help refugees from Nazi Germany. It’s a course of action that could get the two killed.

"Winter's Orbit" is a #SciFi #Mystery #MMRomance by Everina Maxwell.

Prince Kiem enjoys the life of a royal, even if some of his more outrageous behavior doesn't please the emperor. When the ruler summons the Prince this time, it's not for another dressing down. It's to tell Kiem that he will be marrying Count Jainan, the recently widowed husband of Kiem's cousin Taam. The marriage is necessary to maintain the fragile alliance between the empire and the vassal planet Thea. Jainan has been raised to do his duty, and that means being a good husband to whichever partner the empire chooses for him, however difficult that may be. Neither of the men knows just how dangerous their new alliance will prove to be.
