A Love That Lasts – A Romance To Freedom and Pride – Gay Romance Book Showcase

By binkyproductions

‘I love you, and I don’t think that will ever change.’

A Romance to Freedom and Pride is a Gay Romance short story.

Aidan and Markus recall when they first met as young men who fell in love with each other, their need for secrecy as gay lovers in a boarding school where no dating was allowed, and the upsets they stood up against in the face of bigotry.

Their love and desire to marry never changed, as they waited for gay marriage to be legal.

Excerpt from early in the story:

From the library window, Aidan watched the other lads as they scurried through the school’s terrain, scaled the fence at the other end, and jumped to the other side for a not-so-clandestine rendezvous with the girls from the neighbouring boarding school. The rule was ‘No dating allowed.’

‘They are so going to get in trouble,’ he muttered to himself.

Chuckling brought his attention to the lad leaning against the bookshelf. ‘And we are the studious ones, I presume?’

Markus always had an air about him of arrogance and pride, his uniform had not a single crease in it – he was from one of the richer families here. Aidan was quieter, kept to himself, yet often found Markus observing him. In the short time Aidan had been here, he’d found himself drawn to Markus somehow but never thought much more of it.

‘It’s strange that you’re here only for your senior year,’ said Markus, ‘but I’m glad of it, regardless of the hows and whys. And I reckon I know exactly why you’re not out there with the other lads.’

‘Oh?’ Aidan raised an eyebrow, curious. ‘In the last month since the school year began, you’ve figured me out, have you?’

Markus pushed away from the bookshelf and came to stand very close to Aidan, his cheek nearly touching his as he leaned towards his ear, his whisper making Aidan’s heart pound.

‘The same reason as me. You don’t like girls. Neither do I, and…’ Markus pulled away just enough to stare into Aidan’s eyes. ‘I like you.’

His face twitched nervously, but his eyes never left Aidan’s gaze. Aidan drew in a breath and realised he was smiling.

Markus backed away and offered Aidan his hand. ‘Come, let’s go…study in the dorm room.’

Heart racing with excitement, Aidan took Markus’s hand, and the two lads nearly ran all the way to the dorms. Markus shut the door quickly, pressing Aidan against it, his lips coming very close to the other lad’s. Markus’s dark hair contrasted Aidan’s blond head of hair, his captivating grey eyes boring deep into Aidan’s brown eyes.

Markus swallowed, and murmured, ‘Now, I’ve never actually kissed anyone before.’

‘Good, because neither have I,’ admitted Aidan.

Fierce Protective Love – The Thief and His Hunter Book 2 Gay Romance Thriller Showcase

By binkyproductions

‘Someone’s after you. I am so angry, so . . . scared. I will not let anything happen to you. I’m going to protect you with my life.’
‘Don’t die for me.’
‘I promise.’

This is Book 2 of The Thief and His Hunter trilogy, a Gay Romance Thriller and Dark Romance novella.

Vulpis is being framed for murder. As Conor strives to find out who might be after him, truths from a past job are unearthed when confronted with not one, but two potential threats. After nearly losing his life, Theron vies to protect Conor who must now put himself in harm’s way in order to lure out his enemies.

Excerpt from Chapter 1:

Theron paced in Martha’s office, seething. ‘Conor’s not a killer, he didn’t do it.’

Conor was tight-lipped. Seeing him this upset was angering Theron even more, making him want to protect him so much more.

‘I know he was up on the roofs,’ Theron went on, ‘but I swear, he got there at the same time as me.’

‘I know. I had you in my ear the whole time. I would have recognised the sounds of a murder.’ The crime scene was currently being processed by forensics, and the hypothised cause of death was a stab wound to the gut. ‘Besides, I have further proof of your location, Conor.’

‘Martha?’ warned Theron. He didn’t like what her tone was alluding to. ‘What have you omitted to tell us?’

‘I’ve been tracking Conor.’ Martha raised her hands in defence as Theron opened his mouth to interject. ‘It was part of the deal I made with my superiors.’

‘Uh, sorry, but Conor never takes his phone with him,’ said Theron.

‘Never said it was his phone.’

Conor pulled his hood back, checking it.

‘The hood, isn’t it?’ concluded Theron, pointing a thumb at the garment.

‘And it’s a good thing I did.’ Martha folded her arms. ‘With Conor on probation, he needs all the evidence on his side.’

‘Yeah, well, you call me when the forensics have more evidence.’ Theron took Conor by the hand and began leading him out of the office.

‘And where are you going?’

Theron stopped, looking over his shoulder. ‘Home. Where it’s safe.’

Theron led Conor to the car, muttering angrily to himself. ‘I’m sorry,’ he said more softly before starting the vehicle. ‘I don’t want you to think I’m angry at you. None of this is your fault, darling.’

Conor didn’t answer. His silence was worrying.

A Sublime Search – Stardust Destinies Book 3 Epic Fantasy Showcase

By binkyproductions

Memories are all but lost when the phantoms strike again.

A Sublime Search is the third novel in the Stardust Destinies New Adult Epic Fantasy/High Fantasy Adventure series with Romance, Dragons, Mystery and much Magic.

With the Five of the Star separated from each other and from their allies, they must find the strength to carry out their mission, despite their enfeebled states. Niome must reach deep within to find her true power, but a ghastly encounter leaves her on the brink of death.

As Mirauk’s phantoms hunt the Five, and as Bahvley strives to remember his forgotten past, they all face the might of Mirauk’s magic unlike they’re ever encountered before.

Excerpt from Chapter 2: Enduring the Night:

Fire formed a blistering boundary all around the phantoms, and Tharguen found himself in the middle of it. Huck, thankfully, was on the outside.

Tom frowned, feeling he should have been more prudent. Several Tellens and Firlanians were caught within the ring as well.

Tharguen looked about, turning around in a circle on himself. It was like in his dream – a ring of fire – and he was drenched in blood, stained on the side and in the front, though it wasn’t his own.

The phantoms circled slowly around the ring, watching Tharguen as he walked in the same way, watching them, he and the five phantoms each at a different extremity. Tharguen tightly held his sword by his side in one hand.

‘Wakhik hakhev kuyokh echom hakereth?’ Tharguen quavered.

He was bound to find out sooner or later why they were here and what they wanted. Some of the phantoms showed surprise when he spoke their language, but the others, inexplicably, seemed to know him.

He went on, ‘Wokh dikhed Mirauk colmakh nekedh kuyotho kitgok retakhif?’

‘Fairhaven!’

‘I’m right here!’ Bahvley taunted, glaring at them from across the tall flames. They did not respond.

‘Bahvley?’ Tharguen asked the phantoms.

‘Ewekhewer deskirpakh chussaro kiteskë mikh akvelrig,’ said another one of the phantoms, ‘tukheb ekhsi tokhan wokhew tanwakh.’

‘Wokh nekedh!’ Tharguen demanded with more authority.

‘Niome Fairhaven!’ said a third.

‘What are they saying about Niome?’ asked Tom, deeply concerned.

‘They want her,’ said Tharguen, his blood running cold amidst the scorching heat. ‘That’s what they came here for. They’re looking for Niome.’

‘They’ll never have that satisfaction!’ declared Bahvley. ‘They may try to harm my sister, but they’ll have to deal with me first.’

‘Oh, they’ll have to deal with me, too,’ seethed Tharguen. ‘Perhaps they ought to know she’s not here. You got that, phantoms? Niome si tokhan hakereth!’

There was some grumbling among the shadowy forms.

‘Tharguen,’ said Bahvley, ‘tell them we won’t let them kill Niome.’

‘Ew wokhnit khetel kuyoth khikli kerkh.’

‘Mirauk odkez tokhan tanwakh kerkh adekhed.’

‘Takhwodkez ekh tanwakh?’ asked Tharguen, not understanding what the phantoms meant.

‘What did it say about Mirauk?’ asked Bahvley.

‘I don’t understand,’ replied Tharguen. ‘They claim he doesn’t want her dead.’

‘Okit konowë wok hokit yirotesdeth kefiv! . . . Achnad kuyokh.’

‘You may try to kill me . . . but you’ll never destroy the Five!’ growled Tharguen. ‘I will never let you hurt Niome!’ he yelled out as he charged.

‘No, don’t!’ shouted Bahvley.

Murderers Being Murdered – Turbulent Justice Murder Mystery Gay Romance Book Showcase

By binkyproductions

‘Let’s see this justice done together.’

Turbulent Justice is a Murder Mystery and Gay Romance short story.

Luke and Zach are called in to investigate a series of murders that occurred overnight. As more clues are discovered, links to their pasts and the deaths of their former partners are revealed, challenging their own commitment to each other. And as they unravel the truth, their emotions spiral.

Excerpt from Part 1:

‘Do you remember what I told you when I started working with you?’ Zach asked suddenly, his voice filled once more with conviction.

‘You said you were going to bring justice to the world because it had failed the man you loved. And I said I was still pursuing it because a mistake I made led my husband to be murdered.’

‘We promised we would see it through together,’ said Zach. ‘It was a vow. That’s why—’

Both their phones began blaring. Glancing at both their screens, Luke knew Zach had received the same message. Murder vic found. The address of the crime scene followed.

Luke and Zach took their coffees and left quickly in their vehicle. As Luke turned onto the freeway, he glanced at Zach.

‘We got interrupted. You were about to add something.’

Zach smiled mildly. ‘It’s fine. Let’s see this justice done together first.’

Luke reached over to squeeze Zach’s thigh. ‘When I say I’m not opposed, I mean to say that I just need to process emotions because I’m a widower. I do want a long future with you, Zach. Heck, we’ve been together nearly a decade – of course, I want our relationship to last. Every day with you feels like a miracle because . . . Every time we get a new case, every time we might be risking our lives, it’s as though not being married will protect me from the hurt because . . .’

Luke kept his focus on the freeway traffic, his heart racing from admitting all these conflicting emotions. Zach waited for Luke to continue.

‘I am . . . scared,’ Luke finally expressed. ‘Scared to lose you too.’

It was Zach’s turn to reach over and squeeze Luke’s thigh. He spoke softly. ‘I have that fear too. Which is why I understand.’

The two remained silent until they arrived at the crime scene. Luke took hold of Zach by the arm to stop him before they entered.

‘I do want to.’ Luke confirmed.

Hope and sadness warred on Zach’s face. ‘Tell me that again if you still want to tomorrow.’

Luke breathed out a small laugh. ‘A good twenty-four hours after the topic came up? You using my own wisdom on me now? Fine, we can reassess when—’

‘When we’ve solved this case.’ Zach marched into the house. Luke followed.
