Each book can stand alone, however they are best read in order for full enjoyment.
Previously published by Samhain Publishing, this series has been reissued under my indie imprint Briggs-King Books with no substantive changes. They are available exclusively from Amazon and Kindle Unlimited.
1. THE TRUTH AS HE KNOWS IT
Lies are the chains that keep you
weighed down at rock bottom.
Officer Noel Carlson isn’t out to
anyone in small-town Stratton, Pennsylvania, only to distant friends and family,
so a relationship is out of the question. That doesn’t stop him from wanting
one, though.
When a night-shift call brings
him face to thonged butt with a hired stripper whose girl-party gig went
terribly wrong, Noel takes pity on the guy and lets him go. But he can’t get
the encounter out of his mind.
Shane has big-time debts to
repay, especially to the brother who sacrificed nearly everything for him. His two
jobs, in a deli and as a stripper, leave him no time for a social life. But a
non-date of hot sex and takeout food with Noel? He can squeeze that in.
The bond they form is stronger than either
expected or wanted. Especially since the step Shane’s about to take to put his
brother—and his soul—back in the black isn’t quite legal. And he never
calculated just how much his determination to make things right will cost him
in the end.

2. THE WORLD AS HE SEES IT
Love knows no limits…but fear could keep them from seeing it.
Gabe lives a double life. As Gabriel Henson, he works multiple jobs to support his remorseless, alcoholic mother. As Tony Ryder, he does internet porn for extra cash and regular safe sex without complications.
Yet when he encounters a scared young man freaking out in a night club, he’s compelled to reach out. Ever since then, the memory of that young man has haunted him.
Tristan Lavelle lives his life thirty minutes at a time. After a traumatic brain injury three years ago, he gets through his day recording his life in spiral notebooks and sticky note reminders.
A month after Tristan’s embarrassingly public meltdown, another chance meeting with Gabe sparks a warm, emotionally fulfilling email relationship. Both men crave more, but fear of the next step stands between them.
Until Tristan gets the opportunity to take part in a clinical trial that could improve his memory—if the side effects don’t kill him. But for Tristan, the possibility of a real life with Gabe is worth any risk…

3. THE HEART AS HE HEARS IT
Love can slip
through the smallest crack in the door.
While most of his friends have moved on to
“real” careers, Jon Buchanan is content skating through life as a part-time
waiter and gay porn star. Firmly single thanks to a previous relationship
disaster, he focuses his spare time on Henry, a dear friend dying of cancer.
And with Henry’s happiness paramount, Jon is on
a mission to help Henry meet his recently discovered grandson.
Isaac Gregory hasn’t set foot outside for the
past year. He has everything he needs delivered, and his remaining family knows
better than to visit. When a complete stranger shows up claiming to be his
grandfather—with a distractingly handsome younger man in tow—his carefully
structured routines are shaken.
Despite his instant attraction, Jon senses
Isaac is too fragile for a relationship. Yet tentative friendship grows into
genuine companionship. And when Henry’s health begins to fail, they realize
Fate brought them together for a reason.

4. Their Life As They Live It
“Happiness
is not a goal…it is a by-product of a life well lived.”
--Eleanor
Roosevelt
Bernard
“Bear” Henson is a blessed man. He is happily married to the love of his life,
he co-owns a successful business, and his grown son is desperately in love with
a wonderful partner. But Bear knows all too well how precarious that happiness
is, so he lives every day with love in his heart and gratitude for everything
he has—especially his husband Richard Brightman. Richard has been HIV-positive
for thirty years and every new day is a gift.
When
Richard becomes unexpectedly ill and is rushed to the hospital, Bear braces for
his beautifully constructed life to come crashing down. A hard-won life full of
ups and downs, illnesses and setbacks, love and anger, and a lot of regret for
how certain things went down. Certain things involving Bear’s alcoholic ex-wife
Debbie and the start of Bear’s relationship with Richard. But the past can’t be
changed, only remembered and studied.
As
Richard fights for his life, Bear reflects on the last thirty years of their
entwined lives. College days, his shotgun wedding to Debbie, his unexpected
feelings for Richard, and the proudest moment of Bear’s life: the birth of his
son Gabriel. Bear’s life with Richard is woven with love, heartache, regret,
joy, and everything else in between. They’ve overcome every obstacle that’s
come their way, and they’ll overcome this new illness, too. Period. Bear simply
isn’t ready to live his life without Richard in it.
Note:
This is the fourth book in my Perspectives series, and while it can be read as
a standalone, readers will have a much richer concept of these characters if
you’ve at least read book two, The World As He Sees It. Warnings for spousal
abuse (not between the two heroes) and cheating.
Only Amazon?
ReplyDeleteNope, Samhain makes their ebooks available through all third-party vendors. Usually I only list Amazon for the pre-order link because finding all of them is a pain. :)
