Taking the Knot

2020

Can a very human man find satisfaction with a demon? Matt is a big guy, tall, broad and muscular; he’s a man you assume is a top. Matt has desires, though, needs that he keeps hidden until the day when he sees his friend Don naked in the gym’s changing room. Don’s a big guy like him, and he’s wearing some very sexy, very intimate jewelry in places Matt has never even imagined possible and he’s… intrigued. Don invites Matt to the club where he met his Master and while Matt can’t quite believe he’s doing it, he goes along. When he arrives at the club, it’s one surprise after another, but the enormous man he meets there, who just might be more than human, gives Matt more than he’s ever dreamed of, or admitted to wanting. Blaze has been searching for his one special human, the one who can be his partner and return to the underworld with him. When he sees Matt, he recognizes the stud immediately for the one he’s been waiting for. Now he just needs to convince Matt. Can Matt and Blaze find happiness together being their true selves? Find out in this intense, hot as the hinges of hell romp.

Craving the Knot

2022

The Giving Place is ready to make another match. Steve is having a bad day. Hell, he’s had a year’s worth of bad days at work. His size makes him intimidating, which isn’t the best look for a salesman, and no amount of box-store t-shirts can mitigate his height or bulky muscles. He’s miserable when he runs into Matt in the locker room at the gym. Miserable and stunned at the changes and jewelry he sees the man wearing when they both change into work out gear. Matt insists that Steve join him at the club to check it out, dragging Steve along to blow off some steam. Kalos has been watching his friend Blaze with envy; he wants to fall in love with a man of his own, but every man who’s come into the club has left him cold. Then he meets Steve and his blood begins to boil with need and he knows his wait is over. Now all he has to do is convince Steve. Will Kalos and Steve both find what they’re looking for in each other? Finding out is going to be incendiary!

Loving the Knot

2023

The Giving Place is back and ready to make another match! Everly isn’t miserable, but he’d be hard pressed to say he was happy. His life is a never-ending cycle of work as a barista, eat, go to the gym, and look for someone who can fulfill his desires. A self-confessed size-queen, Everly is very aware of just how hard it is for a big guy like him to find someone to Top him and fill him the way he craves. When Steve, one of his regulars, suggests a visit to an exclusive club, promising he’ll find exactly what he’s looking for, Everly figures what can he lose? Xeno and Zoro consider each other halves of the same soul, but they know they need to find a human lover to make them whole. When Everly first walks into the club, they know they’ve found him. Everly isn’t like most of the men who come to the club, though and he’s not afraid of taking what Xeno and Zoro have to give him. In fact he’s eager for it. Can the three of them be patient enough to follow the club’s rules so they can have more than just a few nights together?

Fighting the Knot

2024

Can the Giving Place make another perfect match? A bouncer at a nightclub, Cal is a rough and tumble kind of guy. He’s not looking for anything permanent, he just wants a bit of a fight before the sex starts. As a 6’9” stud, he’s almost always the one who comes out on top. One night on the job, he’s given a business card which turns out to be an invitation to The Giving Place. Having no idea what kind of club it is, Cal is curious enough to check the place out. Club member Hades is drawn immediately to Cal and makes his claim the moment Cal walks in. He can give Cal the fight the man wants, but as big as Cal is, Hades is much bigger and there’s no way Cal is winding up on top. And yet, Cal keeps coming back to see Hades time and again. Can Hades convince Cal that he is exactly who Cal has been fighting for?

Often referred to as "Space Cowboy" and "Gangsta of Love" while still striving for the moniker of "Maurice," Sean Michael spends his days surfing, smutting, organizing his immense gourd collection and fantasizing about one day retiring on a small secluded island peopled entirely by horseshoe crabs. While collecting vast amounts of vintage gay pulp novels and mood rings, Sean whiles away the hours between dropping the f-bomb and persuing the kama sutra by channeling the long lost spirit of John Wayne and singing along with the soundtrack to "Chicago." A long-time writer of complicated haiku, currently Sean is attempting to learn the advanced arts of plate spinning and soap carving sex toys. Barring any of that? He'll stick with writing his stories, thanks, and rubbing pretty bodies together to see if they spark.
