TwitterAbout the author:
Lou Skelton writes fun, filthy and feelsy gay romance stories from her home in south east London. She particularly enjoys subverting romantic tropes and hetereonormative narratives, but she still loves a good, old-fashioned happy ending. She has several books in development and is currently working on her first series.
Here is a short sample from the book:
Hanging over the fireplace was a mirror. Though Isaac tried his hardest to avoid it, his reflection seemed to be inescapable, even when seated on the sofa. It was his own face which drew him in and it looked pinched and much too pale. His hair, too, was all wrong. Isaac fretted over it, moving it this way and that, but it made no difference at all. He’d styled it with such confidence that morning, in preparation for his appointment with Luis. Now, in the light of Luis’s living room, it just seemed flat and colourless.
At the back of his mind, a small voice spoke up. It reminded him that when he was nervous he was prone to seeing himself in a negative light. The thought provided some comfort—but then he noticed the anxious expression of his eyes and the troubled line of his mouth. Those parts were real and they weren’t very sexy. Daksh would take one look at him and lose interest.
It’s not my hair that’s the problem, Isaac thought. It’s all this other stuff, all written across my face as plain as day.
With difficulty, he pulled his gaze back down to the floor—he didn’t need to look at the mirror any more. He was still studying the muted patterns of the rug beneath his feet when Luis breezed in with his laptop.
“Ready?” he asked, all but clapping his hands together with enthusiasm. A woody, citrussy scent lagged behind him, a remnant of a recent shower.
“No,” Isaac said. His palms had started to sweat; he wiped them on his jeans.
Luis, he noticed, was barefoot and, by most people’s standards, only half-dressed. He wore a clingy pair of jogging bottoms and very little else. Unlike Isaac, he was never worried about what he looked like. It was a very attractive quality, Isaac realised. It was no wonder that Luis was so in demand.

Killing The Blood Cleaner by DAVIS HEWITT

On the Coast, two women have beautiful dreams of a more glorious existence.

Her friends warn her she could still end up like the unfortunate female doctor who took her place that day and urge her to quit and find a job in Atlanta or Savannah, where there would be men who could fully appreciate her intelligence and charm.
An Abysmal Sleepcation by Paul Tannen
Almost everything that happens during sleep— including most of our dreams, the thoughts we have throughout the night and memories of brief awakenings—is forgotten by morning. For Greg Mallet, 28, it’s quite the opposite. Greg was unexpectedly awakened after three years in an accident-related coma. Greg doesn’t remember who he is, nor does he recall his life before the accident. All that he remembers is the abstract dream life he lived while in the coma, which provided him with a very unusual alternate reality. Along comes Shannon Brewster, a lonely, mildly depressed, young female psychiatrist with self-esteem issues; a non-existent social life and her stressful job as a psychiatrist in the mental health unit of a hospital in Portland, Oregon have taken a toll on her psyche. Shannon takes a strong interest in Greg and his rehabilitation. Can their unlikely bond free them both from the misery of their minds?

The Advent of Lena, a Tale of Beauty and the Beast by Neil M Campbell
Chloe Lambert is used to men looking at her twice but for all the wrong reasons – they cannot believe how ugly she is. She has no reason to think Park Delafield, of the perfect profile and cheek bones to die for, is any different when he insults her in a pub. But all is not as it seems, turns out he’s looking for salvation and has decided she’s the one. Only trouble is, Chloe’s not so sure.
When a stranger in a bar loudly comments on her appearance, Chloe Lambert can only assume that the remark which cut her to the bone was for him simply a casual aside. Park Delafield, however, at once struck down for his savagery by a friend of Chloe’s, is visited in his humiliation by the insight that only the love of the woman he has offended can redeem the despicable individual he has become. He sets out to win Chloe but she, bewildered by his attentions and repelled by his egotism, wants no part in his quest. Until his tireless persistence, combined with her own curiosity about his true personality and motives, soften her distrust of his sincerity. Warily she allows him into her life, thus seeding hurricanes of self-discovery, reckless commitment, and searing betrayal through which all involved journey toward disaster . . . or liberation and redemption.
