It's gotten to the point where he isn't too fussy about what magazine or newspaper that by-line is in either.

Quando il suo amico Al gli organizza un'intervista al Velvet Glove, un club privato di BDSM, Nat si immagina che tutto quello che deve fare è presentarsi, fare l'intervista e scrivere la sua storia. Diavolo, questi club sono solo una mostra e nessuno realmente frusta le persone per divertimento, giusto?

La sua prima indicazione che potrebbe essere in errore è il serio, alto e più che un poco spaventoso uomo che lo accoglie dentro al club, il secondo è la vasta lista di oggetti tra cui gli viene chiesto di scegliere. Quando incontra l'uomo che è andato a intervistare e scopre che l'intervista è realmente una scena, con lui che interpreta il ragazzo da frustare, Nat intuisce che potrebbe aver frainteso qualcosa.

Abandoned by his partner in the wilds of Alaska, Peter is at the end of his rope. He has a cabin falling down around his ears, two young babies to care for, and too much alone time to worry. It's enough to make a man rethink wanting to be a dad.

Park Ranger Chad thinks Peter could use some help, especially since Peter's little cabin might not be safe. When he takes Peter and family in, he decides that the attraction the two of them felt right off might become much more. Can he convince Peter that they can do more than keep each other warm?

Abbandonato dalla sua compagna nelle terre selvagge dell'Alaska, Peter è quasi alla fine della corda. Ha una baracca che sta cadendo a pezzi, due bambini di cui prendersi cura, e troppo tempo da solo per pensare alla sua situazione. E' abbastanza per fare in modo che un uomo ripensi al fatto di volere essere padre.

La guardia forestale Chad pensa che Peter potrebbe aver bisogno di un po' di aiuto, specialmente quando un fuoco e il tempo gli fanno chiedersi se la piccola baracca di Peter ce la farà a passare la stagione. Quando prende Peter e i bambini con se, scopre che l'attrazione che i due sentono fin dal primo incontro ha la potenzialità di diventare qualcosa di più. Può convincere Peter che possono fare ben più che tenersi al caldo a vicenda?

Kade has been a slave for too long. When he passes to yet another owner in a game of chance, he goes without a fight. He’s still as proud as he ever was as a warrior of his people, but he has no hope left in him. Or so he thinks.

Surial doesn’t keep slaves. He’s not a native of Azize, the land where he serves out his banishment from his family. He doesn’t believe in their customs. So when Kade comes to him on a bet, he’s not sure what to do with the big, quiet man.

Kade goes to work in the stables, and soon an uneasy friendship begins to grow between the unwilling slave and the unlikely master. Even Surial’s servants disapprove of the relationship, but Kade and Surial have more to worry about that a few raised eyebrows.

In a world where magic exists in the everyday, Surial and Kade have to face their own fears, their own dreams, and a danger that might well overtake both of them.

Sean Michael builds a world full of amazing characters and places in Windbrothers, where the fragile friendship of two men is tested and tried again and again, until ultimately, they find something more precious than anything either of them has ever dreamed of.

Kade è stato uno schiavo per troppo tempo. Quando passa ad un altro proprietario in un gioco di scambi, va senza lottare. E' ancora così fiero come era quando era un guerriero della sua gente, ma non ha nessuna speranza in lui. O così pensa.

Surial non tiene schiavi. Non è un nativo di Azize, la terra dove sta passando l'esilio dalla sua famiglia. Non crede nei loro costumi. Così quando Kade arriva a lui per una scommessa, non è sicuro di cosa fare con l'uomo grande e tranquillo.

Kade va a lavorare nelle stalle, e presto una non facile amicizia incomincia a crescere tra lo schiavo non consenziente e l'improbabile maestro. Anche i servi di Surial disapprovano la relazione, ma Kade e Surial hanno più da preoccuparsi che di un po' di sopraccigli sollevati.

In un mondo dove esiste la magia nel quotidiano, Surial e Kade devono affrontare le loro paure, i loro sogni, e un pericolo che potrebbe incombere su entrambi.

Sean Michael costruisce un mondo pieno di sorprendenti caratteri e posti in Windbrothers, dove la fragile amicizia di due uomini è testata e provata ancora e ancora, fino a che alla fine, troveranno qualcosa di più prezioso di quanto avessero mai sognato.

Non può credere che il suo compagno Thaine lascerebbe Drew per una vecchia fiamma, anche se il suo amico non può ricordarsi del ragazzo.

Jerry è adulato che Thaine ancora lo desideri intorno ed ancora ha una scintilla per il suo cowboy, così quando Thaine gli chiede di andare a casa con lui per riprendersi, Jerry accosente, anche se sa che Thaine potrebbe riacquistare la sua memoria in ogni momento…

Possono Jerry e Thaine costruire un futuro che elimini il loro passato? E può Jesse convincere Drew che stava cercando l'amore in tutti i posti sbagliati? Può Thaine vivere senza gli ultimi cinque anni, o si ricorderà tutto e dovrà scegliere fra la sua vecchia vita e quella nuova?
