Twisted Wishes

There's no resisting the thrum of temptation in this male/male rock-star romance from genre-favorite author Anna Zabo! Twisted Wishes front man Ray Van Zeller is in one hell of a tight spot. After a heated confrontation with his bandmate goes viral, Ray is hit with a PR nightmare the fledgling band so doesn't need. But his problems only multiply when they snag a talented new drummer-insufferably sexy Zavier Demos, the high school crush Ray barely survived. Zavier's kept a casual eye on Twisted Wishes for years, and lately, he likes what he sees. What he doesn't like is how out of control Ray seems-something Zavier's aching to correct after their first pulse-pounding encounter. If Ray's up for the challenge. Despite the prospect of a glorious sexual encore, Ray is reluctant to trust Zavier with his band-or his heart. And Zavier has always had big dreams; this gig was supposed to be temporary. But touring together has opened their eyes to new passions and new possibilities, making them rethink their commitments, both to the band and to each other. Contains mature themes.

Twisted Wishes lead guitarist Dominic "Domino" Bradley is an animal onstage. But behind his tight leather pants and skull-crusher boots lies a different man entirely, one who needs his stage persona not only to perform, but to have the anonymity he craves. A self-imposed exile makes it impossible to get close to anyone outside the band, so he's forced to get his sexual fix through a few hot nights with a stranger. When computer programmer Adrian Doran meets Dominic, he's drawn to the other man's quiet voice and shy smile. But after a few dirty, demanding nights exploring Dominic's need to be dominated, Adrian wants more than a casual distraction. He has no idea he's fallen for Domino Grinder-the outlandish, larger-than-life rock god. Dominic is reluctant to trust Adrian with his true identity. But when the truth is revealed prematurely, Dominic is forced to reevaluate both his need for Adrian and everything he believes about himself. Contains mature themes.

The tougher they are, the harder they fall. Twisted Wishes bass player Mish Sullivan is a rock goddess-gorgeous, sexy, and comfortable in the spotlight. With fame comes unwanted attention, though: a stalker is desperate to get close. Mish can fend for herself, just as she always has. But after an attack lands her in the hospital, the band reacts, sticking her with a bodyguard she doesn't need or want. David Altet has an instant connection with Mish. A certified badass, this ex-army martial arts expert can take down a man twice his size. But nothing-not living as a trans man, not his intensive military training-prepared him for the challenge of Mish. Sex with her is a distraction neither of them can afford, yet the hot, kink-filled nights keep coming. When Mish's stalker ups his game, David must make a choice-lover or bodyguard. He'd rather have Mish alive than in his bed. But Mish wants David, and no one, especially not a stalker, will force her to give him up. Contains mature themes.
