Author: Mu Yun Lan Qing Associated Names: Beyond the Frore Dunes Mo Shang Han Sha 漠上寒沙 Description: He's just a low-ranking deputy general and he's a prince. They meet on the battlefield but it turns out to be the beginning of a complicated and beautiful story. Murong Yu is a very confident man - until he meets Han Xin. There's nothing he cannot get; there's nothing he cannot destroy. To let live or not, is all up to him. He is the future ruler of Great Yan and so it's only natural that the world should bow down at his feet. But he had never thought that one day he would lose control of it. That even his own will would be uncontrollable. Murong Yu can neither get nor destroy this prisoner of war. Han Xin has never given a care about the world - until he meets Murong Yu. He has never cared about anyone, nor has anyone cared about him. It doesn't matter if you're alone or sad, as long as you can still laugh, life will go on. He has learned long ago how to not question, how not to believe, how not to lose and how not to care. Destiny's uncaring teasing and humiliations have already become numb to him. That's right, he doesn't have a care in the world. Even if it's this Prince Royal of Great Yan who's started to warm up to him. -COMPLETED- (Hello!

***This story is Manxman and it is rated R for sexual content! If you are bothered by that then please do not read. I will not tolerate any ignoramous comments about how wrong it is. You have been warned so simply back away slowly or turn and run like hell but do not message me in disgust or complaint if you choose to read and see something you don't want to! **** Will is running from more than just the man who held him prisoner, he is running from the memories, the pain, the knowledge of what he's been made to do and the way he's been used. Running away at night seemed the logical choice until he found himself running straight into a blizzard and realized that he'd die of cold out there alone--but at least he would die free. Turner has all he wants in his sanctuary up in the mountains. His horse, his mule and his trust coonhound, Beaux, are the only company he desires. Three years he'd been alone and tried telling himself that he was content but all that changes the day he finds a dying man in a snow bank. Neither of these men were looking for love but what better way to make fate laugh than to talk about your own plans... and there's just something that happens, some magic in the air, when it's Christmas time, you're fighting attractions and you find yourself snowed in.

**Be aware that this is a manXman story so if that bothers you then please don't read! 5th in Breaking Series. There are certain things that make a man a man in late 1870's Texas. Being able to rope, ride and handle cattle to name a few. Shooting from the hip, playing poker and throwing back whiskey never hurt either. Nick could do all those things but none of that would matter if anyone knew the truth about him-if anyone knew his secret. So to protect that secret, Nick keeps to himself as he works on the ranch at Atkinson Spread. He likes his job and the bosses are decent but Nick is lonely. Covered in scars, both of the physical and emotional variety, he longs for one person he can truly be himself around. That one person he can love. Aiden is running. He's been running since his family realized what he was, called him an abomination and cursed him to death. Bakerstown Texas is where his legs and his will to run finally give out. Somehow he finds himself hired on to work at Atkinson spread though he knows nothing about cattle. He has already resigned himself to a life alone but that thought goes out the window when he lays his eyes on a ranch hand named Nick. Even then, Aiden knows he can't have Nick. Nick doesn't seem to suffer from the same condition that Aiden was born with and so there's not a lot Aiden can do about his attraction to the other man. Until a night at the saloon goes a bit too far...... Can these two men be together or will their secret be found out and their disease dealt with the frontier way?
