The Heartwood Box: A Fairy Tale
BEWARE THE GIFTS OF THE FAE. Battered by the attacks of the demon king, the Fae Queen, Titania, promised her greatest warrior, Declan, that his line would never fail. To keep her promise, she made a bargain with a human village. She would gift each girl with a magical heartwood box. When it came time to marry, the girl’s box would change color to reveal her true love. But there was a catch: in each generation, one girl’s box would turn black. She must give herself as a bride to a member of the Black family.
When Genevieve Miran arrives for the first event of the Bridal Week, the other girls are in a panic. Damian Black has joined this year, and one of them will have to marry him. Genevieve is too inexperienced to see what is obvious to the others: that Damian Black is a man who will demand complete submission from his wife. When the gorgeous warrior sets out to charm her, Genevieve can’t resist: her heartwood box turns black the same afternoon.
After his brothers failed to find brides, Damian Black knows he must be ruthless. If he fails to marry, Faerie may fall. The moment he sees Genevieve, his path is clear. Marry her and get her safely locked up in his castle before she can escape him. But Damian never dreamt that he might have rivals for the shy Genevieve—or that the rivals might be his own brothers.

The Slave Catcher
Genre: Science Fiction, LGBT
16,000 words
Star City, best known for its brothels and casinos, is one of the few planets in the quadrant that outlaws slavery—for everyone, that is, except the galaxy bullies, the Borathians. Telepaths and recent conquerors of a backwards planet named Earth, the Borathians are simply too powerful to refuse. A special treaty allows them to bring their pleasure slaves or “bonds” onto the planet, and if one escapes, they have five days to recover him.
Sam Beron, private locator, may have been born on a Maradi space cruiser, but Star City is his home now and he’d say he despises slavery as much as any native. Unfortunately, a run of bad luck at the casino tables leaves him flat broke and scavenging expired military rations out of a neighboring dumpster. Next thing he knows, the Borathians are offering him a fortune to track down one of their escaped bonds, a beautiful Earth boy named Liam. What's a hungry locator to do?
