Book description
Book three in The Seven Deadly Sins Collection of Anthologies The seven
deadly sins: lust, wrath, greed, gluttony, envy, pride and sloth. The
Sins of Winter weaves a general thread of revelation loosely tying these
tales together. Acedia (a precursor to sloth), Greed and Pride, are
explored in these hot m/m tales involving action, burning hot sex and
out-of-this-world adventures that will warm you up...fast! 'Toppling
Pedestals' by D. J.Manly In 'Toppling Pedestals', DJ Manly deals with
the sin of pride. The thought that there was something better out there
took Tristan away...then pride almost broke his heart. Tristan, Samuel
and Casey had been friends since grade one. When Casey-the doctor's
son-goes off to university, Samuel and Tristan are left behind in their
small hometown. Samuel comes from a poor background and has no money for
school. He takes a job in the hardware store that Tristan's parents own.
Tristan decides to work at the store for a year before joining Casey at
school. He's expected to run the store eventually but wants to explore
what's out there first. Breaking away from the town means breaking
Samuel's heart. When tragedy brings Tristan home again, will pride stand
in the way of letting Samuel know how he feels? 'If Come' by A.
J.Llewellyn In If Come, AJ Llewellyn deals with the ancient deadly sin
of acedia. It was once considered the 'noonday demon'-a melancholia that
is brought about by repetitive work. Writing, marriage and monkhood were
the three main occupations said to induce it. Zam Carmarthen is a mildly
successful Hollywood screenwriter struggling with a debilitating
depression that prevents him from completing anything he starts. When he
lands an 'If Come' deal with a major Hollywood producer, he's finally
forced to focus on his work and not give into the strange malaise
gripping him. In order to ever move ahead in the movie business, he must
complete the pilot episode of his proposed TV series, Angel Inn. If his
producer is able to sell the series, Zam will be a very rich man.
Everything he has worked for can be his. Paralysed by his depression, he
finds unusual solace in the form of his arch nemesis, Dominic Glass-a
surgeon turned super successful screenwriter...and the man who rewrote
Zam's hit screenplay for his own glory. Can Zam overcome the depression
Dominic calls acedia, which threatens to derail his whole life? Can he
move on from his long time sex buddy Jason? And what about these new
feelings he has for Dominic in spite of their rocky history? Will Zam
get it together...or will Dominic once again walk away with all the
credit for something Zam created? 'Winter Challenge' by Serena Yates In
Winter Challenge, Serena Yates deals with the sin of greed.
Paediatrician Noah Goldwin receives some bad news-his father has died
and his greedy elder brother doesn't only take over the family business,
he wants the entire fortune for himself. So, he informs Noah that he was
adopted and washes his hands of him. Noah, who never knew of his past,
sets out to find his roots. An elderly aunt, a mysterious ring and a
location in the far north of Canada are his only hints...until he meets
a tall, dark stranger who may have the solution to all his questions.
There is only one problem-Ataro lives in a parallel dimension. Will the
two men be able to find a way to join forces? How will they defeat the
power hungry enemies on Ataro's world? And are inter-dimensional
relationships even possible? I write not only for my own pleasure, but
for the pleasure of my readers. I can't remember a time in my life when
I haven't written and told stories. When I'm not writing, I'm dreaming
about writing. Eroticism between consenting adults, in all its many
forms is the icing on the cake of life but one does not live by sex
alone. The story of how two people find love in spite of the odds is
what really turns me on. A. J. Llewellyn lives in California, but dreams
of living in Hawaii. Frequent trips to all the islands, bags of Kona
coffee in the fridge and a healthy collection of Hawaiian records keep
this writer refueled. A. J. never lacks inspiration for male/male erotic
romances and on the rare occasions this happens, pursues other passions
such as collecting books on Hawaiiana, surfing and spending time with
friends and animal companions. A. J. Llewellyn believes that love is a
song best sung out loud.
