Showing results for "Hometown" in LGBTQ+

Mabel Rossi is the heartbeat of The Hometown Heartless. The famous drummer with fast hands, faster wit, and a light that shines brightly even from the back of the stage. She’s temptation in lipstick and lace, and I’m just her manager’s niece. Married, invisible, and completely out of place. Taking the job on tour was supposed to be a harmless adventure. Now that I’m here, far from home and my husband, I’m starting to remember who I was before I lost everything, and I have Mabel to thank for that.

Chief of Police Windsor Elkhart is a master deceiver. Not a single person in Jasper has a clue he’s gay, which explains the endless suitors all vying for his attention. Happily married to his job, he’s convinced life is good enough. Twenty years of abstinence is the price he chose to pay, all because of a secret he’s too ashamed to reveal.

Shay would never associate with Josiah. Not only is he his brother’s ex-best friend, but he’s arrogant, cocky, and rude. When Josiah claims they’re dating and that Shay forgave him for his past transgressions, Shay is convinced he’s lying. Except, since the accident that left him with no memory, Shay isn’t sure of anything.

Let me get one thing straight. I am not in love with my best friend. My heart isn’t broken, and there is no "he" who’s going to swoop in and magically make it all better. Whatever that crazy psychic says, it’s not true! I’m Knox MacKenzie, and I’m straight as an arrow. I like girls - even though they don’t always like me back.

There is nothing I hate more than when some big-city outsider stirs trouble in my peaceful little town. When Mr. Arrogance himself waltzes in and thinks he can slap a price tag on my land, he doesn’t know what he has coming. I’m not just a hick cowboy who’s going to bend to his good looks and charmless personality. No, sir. I don’t care how smart he looks in his fancy suits, all he cares about is money. I just wish I’d known who he was before I kissed him.

Yani Nicolaou is sworn off love for good. After fleeing a bad break-up in London, the only blood, sweat, and tears he has left are for his gyro stall at the Christmas market. Rebound fling? No thanks. He’s sticking to one-night-stands. Ex-army vet Gavin Richie has even less capacity for romance. Managing a homeless shelter while recovering from injury keeps him far too busy. So what if he’s often alone? He’s content being single, or so he thinks until a chance meeting lights a spark he can’t ignore.

After a failed attempt at building a new life in the big city, followed by a crushing breakup, Zach is moving back in with his parents - which means moving back to the small town he thought he had escaped forever. He doesn’t have high hopes - nothing ever changes in this place - but maybe he can catch up with people he lost touch with when he left. His Mom is cagey about where his old best friend James went though, and Zach starts to worry he might end up all alone here, with no friends and no way out.

Jimmy Brink and Eric Halter grew up together in a small country town. While Eric has always been content with life as a rancher, Jimmy wanted more and moved to Chicago early on to pursue a medical career. Life has a way of coming back around. When Jimmy's parents decide to retire in Florida, Jimmy returns to his hometown to finish his residency at a local hospital. Flamboyant boyfriend Oliver in tow, Jimmy bumps into his old friend. Eric quickly takes a disliking to Oliver, though, and for good reason.

Zach: Curtis can never know why I walked out of town 10 years ago. My emotions for him burn just as hot ever, but if he learns what I did, he’ll never forgive me. Just like I can’t forgive myself.... Curtis: The wise move would be to keep my distance, to protect myself from the passion I see flaring in Zach’s eyes, but he’s become irresistible in the time he’s been away, with a SEAL’s discipline and a lover’s touch. I can’t stay away.

I want to trust him. I just don’t know how. My life might not be conventional, but I’ve got it together. I own a successful tattoo business. I’ve got investments. I’ve got my brothers in the Falcon Grim Motorcycle Club...and I’ve got my old bedroom at my parents’ house in my tiny hometown, because after a bar fight with a rival MC went to hell, I need a place to lay low for a while. Perks of coming home? Victor Savage. He’s older than me, he’s hot as hell, and to be honest, he’s always been able to light my candle, if you know what I mean.
