Junior college teacher Glen Sanford is having problems with his wife, Ann…sexual problems. Basically, he can't perform on demand, and Ann has lost her patience; she wants a divorce. Then Glen meets a troubled student, Jerry Allen, who's been tested as having an exceptional IQ, but whose grades have failed to match his intelligence. Glen discovers that Jerry's being pimped out by his own mother, who's making money from forcing the boy to liaison with older men. The basic conflict in the student's life is destroying his psyche. Glen offers him compassion and learning…and eventually love, but the campus gossip-monger spots Jerry coming and going from Glen's house. The teacher is forced to choose: either give up his new-found love, or resign his academic post. Another poignant gay romance by a master writer.
It was just a few weeks after his new stepfather Carl had moved into their house that the trouble began for Lenny Adams. Lenny'd had a difficult upbringing.

He tries to make it on his own, but he's always forced back to relying on his good looks and natural charm. Men–women–it makes no difference to Lenny: they're all part of the game, they're ripe fruit waiting to be plucked from the tree. As he descends further into crime and degeneracy, Lenny begins losing control. Will he find a way to restore the balance, or will his desire for money and power finally destroy LOVE'S PAWN?
Mike is an eighteen-year-old high school student in 1960s Hollywood when he's picked up by Glen, who offers him money for casual sex. Mike needs the cash to take his girl to the prom, so he agrees; for him, it's just another casual encounter. But when his girl jilts him for a jock, he swears off women, leaves home, and goes into business for himself by becoming a full-time hustler of gay men. <P> And then he encounters Glen again, and finds himself falling in love for the first time in his life. Mike's journey–from love back to hustling, from hustling to the degradation of nude modeling and porn flicks, from the slimy world of modeling and porn to becoming the sex slave of a wealthy patron, and finally, the return to true romance once more–when he finds Glen for the third time–is the inspiring story of a young man who finally comes to understand himself and his place in the world, to accept himself for who and what he really is. <P> Another great read by a master storyteller!
