Rosemary for Remembrance
Retired rent boy Tim and his bear-sir Ari continue their crusade against gay elder abuse. Along with May-December couple Cal and Otis, they develop a member-run retirement home that’s not only gay but D/s friendly. They dream of a community that lets their elders age with dignity. But they didn’t reckon on a hostile neighbor, one of Tim’s old clients applying to join, or a couple's bullying family. Tim discovers he learns just as much from his elders' memories as from sharing their lives, but he finds himself questioning the depths of his and Ari’s boy-sir relationship. Will they hold it together as they witness the heart-wrenching decision an old-guard sir and his boy face?

Tim and Ari were first seen in A Cheap Racket in the Hard for the Money anthology.



A Season in Hell
Seattle businessman Bill has been too busy being successful to find time to explore his sexuality. Now that he has time, buying a boy for six-months to find out if he’s really a sir just makes good sense to him. Cory scratches out a living and wanders from town to town, deferring every dream until best friend Debbo arranges a six-month ownership contract that will let them all come true! What seems to be a perfect match on paper turns out to be anything but. Bill is freaked by Cory, and, to Cory’s horror, being owned is boring – a recipe for trouble for a restless soul. Can they make it through their very own Season in Hell?

A Jolly Good Idea
Ryan and Hugh from Not Sir are back, and Hugh is just as demanding and gruff as ever – except now he really is Sir Hugh.

Ryan is miserable – he’s an American fish out of water, and to make things worse he doesn’t even have the compensation of actually serving his sir. Just as Ryan questions the wisdom of tolerating Hugh’s autocratic ways, Lady Barstow and Ryan literally clash!
