THE MEN OF LONDONFrom Charing Cross to Waterloo, there's no escaping love.SEEING THROUGH…28-year-old Draven Samuels has a tragic past, but as an investigator with a high-profile London company he now gets what he wants.

Especially when they're talking over the body of a murder victim.THE DARKNESSPsychic Taylor Abelard is used to people calling him a freak. He can see past events and feel the ghostly vibrations of people close to him who've passed on. It's why he doesn't get too close to the living. But this time, against his better judgment, despite Draven's mocking rejoinders, Taylor will get closer than ever before.

BARING THE BEASTTwenty-five year old Oliver Brown is addicted. Two years ago, he was at the height of his career as "Nicky Star," fashion model, porn actor, partier without peer. Then came the accident. Hiding his scars, both emotional and physical, he's gone into hiding. But fine clothing is some solace. A new suit by Debussy?

A firecracker, Leslie is dapper, generous, in touch with his feminine side but all man, and as gorgeous as any garment ever made.

TWO OF A KINDIt's amazing what a little mascara and lipstick, a blonde wig, false boobs, and top-notch female fashion can hide. Not that Lenny James is hiding his masculinity. He uses his normal voice when he's Laverne, and he's not particularly camp as a man. His reasons for creating his alter ego are locked deep in his past. He is who he is: tough in business, and a romantic at heart. What he's hiding is vulnerability. He wants a man to accept both sides of him.Gorgeous, commanding, and dark as sin, Brook Hunter meets Lenny and knows nothing about Laverne until fate pushes her into his path. Cross-dressing is as far from Brook's reality as fashion is from his world of diplomacy and high finance. Understanding and truth take time, and trust doesn't come easy. But Brook is about to show Lenny that there are no sides to true love, just the place where they meet in the middle. THE MEN OF LONDONFrom Soho to Norwich, there's no escaping love.

THE SWEETEST GIFTTragedy and horror shaped Jackson Grady's life, leaving him orphaned and scarred. At eighteen he's ready to claim his future, but who could love his disfigured face and damaged soul?
