Six months into their Turkish affair, Jack and Liam, a gay couple from London, took lodgings in the oldest ward of Bodrum Town. If they wanted to shy away from the curtain-twitchers, they couldn't have chosen a worse position. Their terrace overlooked Turkey Street like the balcony of Buckingham Palace and the middle-aged infidels stuck out like a couple of drunks at a temperance meeting. Against all the odds, the boys from the Smoke were welcomed into the fold by a feisty mix of eccentric locals and a select group of trailblazing expats, irresistible ladies with racy pasts and plucky presents.
Hop aboard Jack's rainbow gulet as he navigates the choppy waters of a town on the march and a national resurgence not seen since Suleiman the Magnificent was at the gates of Vienna. Grab your deckchair for a whirlwind tour of love and duty, passion and betrayal, broken hearts and broken bones, dirty politics and the dawn of a new Ottoman era.
**********************

The Cop and the Crook
'Jax smiles again as a blush creeps over him making his cheeks a soft shade of pink and nods to my other hand. "It looks like a good read." Confused I look down and realise I'm still holding my book. Oh for the love of marshmallows why couldn't I have picked any other book to read on this flight. Embarrassment washes over me and I hold my head high as I try to muster a reply. "It is indeed." Wow Dani, witty reply, my inner me smacks herself in the head again for what seems like the 100th time today. But I guess when your holding a book titled "Nailed" with what can only be described as a very interesting positioned couple on the front it's just not your freaking day.' Photographer Dani Harris is taking a break from life. Shes travelling back to her childhood home in Hawaii for a bit of R&R. During the flight she meets Jax, a Greek God looking man who sets her skin on fire and heat straight to other places. Exchanging numbers they part after the flight, where she bumps into another man who has her questioning what the hell they put in the water here now that is breeding men who look this stunning. Griffin is a detective in Hawaiian PD, and has somehow been wrangled to pick up his partners sister and entertain her while he follows up on a lead. He's heard stories over the years about the sister but never imagined this gorgeous women standing in front of him squinting at his makeshift sign to be her. She knocks him completely off his feet and he knows that the beating her brother will certainly give him for his very inappropriate thoughts may just be freaking worth it. Dani finds herself torn between two men, but when something is revealed about Jax she must choose which is really in her heart and which is just using her...... (Told thru Dani, Jax and Griffin) (COMPLETED) WARNING contains mature themes and language. Highest Rating: #1 loveorlustComplete
Torture In Silence (Kellic)
You don't know what it's like to live with people you don't know, to judge disgusting things you've never seen before, and have a master who makes you suck his cock when he's feeling in the mood. This wasn't my life. I didn't want any of this. I was forced to be here because I had nowhere else to go. The worst part is not knowing if I'll ever get out of here, and...and...I don't even have a voice to speak out against it. Five years...five years living in this dreadful place, four years of it with me not speaking. I'll never ever talk again after what I witnessed, and nobody, and I mean nobody will force me to speak. Not even my master. WARNINGS: -self-harm -rape -physical/emotional violence -VERY bad language -suicide and mentions of suicide Please don't read this if you feel like you're gonna get sick or harm yourself. I don't want my readers to hurt themselves or feel the same way as Kellin when he's telling his story. It's just a story, obviously not real! Don't take it seriously, please. ENJOY! =Melissa=Complete
Coffee & Nerves (boyxboy)
NEW VERSION IS PUBLISHED "He squints his eyes at me with an intense glare that makes me squirm. I don't know if it's the intense pain in my shoulder or his stare, but something sends a shiver down my spine. I have now extended to my full height and look up to realize this guy is towering over me, not looking too happy. I become aware of our close proximity and take a step back, averting my eyes from his intense gaze. I clear my throat and fumble with the edge of my apron, looking down as I say, 'Sorry 'bout that.' I hear no response. I wait a moment, then I look up and he's gone." Spencer Hastings knows one thing for sure: he hates Jack Summers. Everything about him. He hates his rude manners, his intense stare, his restless movements. But he just can't lay a finger on why Jack Summers unnerves him so much. Until now.

I know.
10 years. 10 years of hating Griffin Taylor. Luckily for me, he lives hundreds of miles away and I very rarely have to handle the knowledge he's in town for his 48 hour visits. Some supposed best friend he turned out to be. Mum and dad would have screamed at him for hours for missing the things he did. Though, Griffin Taylor never did care about other people's feelings. I always thought I wasn't apart of that rule. That I was different to him. His best friend. His rock. No call. No text, no message through his mum or his brother. Nothing. Mine and Piper's world collapsed from under us. Total strangers on the outskirts of town showed their love and support. But Griffin? He showed up 18 months later with barely a word before taking another life altering phone call. Ass. Now, 6 years after I last had the pleasure of being in his almighty presence, Piper made the overwhelming, stupid decision to invite him to her wedding. It's fine. He'll be here for his usual 48 hours and I'll find a million things to keep me out of his way so I'll barely see him. It's fine. Not a problem. I can handle it. Piper wants him here, Piper wants her family here and I guess, with no one else, the Taylor's are family. For Piper I'll keep my thoughts to myself, I'll smile and I'll be the good Christian I am. But as far as I care, Griffin Taylor can rot. In. Hell.Complete
