More than twenty years ago, Branimir Javlosk moved from Montana to Kentucky, following the man he loved to a strange new place. They started a rescue farm and rehab center for retired racehorses, or any equine that needed their help. Branimir gained a reputation as a horse whisperer, able to teach the most frightened horse to trust. They were on top of the world?until Branimir's lover died in a car accident.

Since then, Branimir's continued on, allowing the horses that need him to fill the empty place left by his tragic loss. Yet Branimir has a secret hidden deep inside of him. One he lets out only on rare occasions when there is a need.

Austin Jameson Spellsin is the youngest and favored son of one of the country's richest men. But Austin's not interested in working in the family business of building oilrigs. He wants to ride horses in the Olympics, eventing, to be specific. Yet with all his money, he's never found the right horse for him. Until one morning, he stares at a scar-covered, half-starving mare named Mary's Gospel and sees the look of eagles in her unvanquished gaze.

Of course, falling in love with the damaged mare isn't going to make her want Austin, so he turns to the one man he knows can help him. Taking Mary's Gospel to Branimir seems the best way to win the mare's troubled heart. Little does Austin expect that Mary's Gospel will lose her heart to the older cowboy, but Austin will also find himself aching to heal the wounded soul hiding inside Branimir...

Kurzbeschreibung

Trans-Global IT director Connor Witt is a rare and prized anomaly: the aggression centers in his brain have been suppressed rather than stimulated by the mutated crops that so recently took over the world?s food supply. Bewildered by his physical changes and terrified of a world growing more and more predatory, Connor risks harassment and worse until Trans-Global CEO David Martin collars Connor to protect him against men like security consultant Emmett Drake. Men who stalk Connor as sweet, sexy prey. Men to whom the newly submissive Connor feels irresistibly drawn.

But David can?t be Connor?s master; David?s straight. He promises to find a worthy man, though. One willing to court and appreciate Connor as more than just some rich man?s toy.

While the world adapts to the biological disaster and new laws strip away Connor?s rights, David?s resolve to protect his boy slowly grows into something more. But can his new desires keep pace with Emmett?s determination to claim Connor?

One man offers safety; the other is a safer bet. Problem is, Connor?s never sure which is which. The one thing he does know? He wants them both.

(Publisher's note: this title contains dubious consent.)

The claim that homosexual interactions among people are unnatural depends on the assumption that homosexual interactions between mammals and birds are rare. Bagemihl has an unabashed agenda, which is to demonstrate the contrary--he convincingly demolishes many of the standard zoological accounts and provides coherent evidence for bisexual and exclusively homosexual behaviour among many species. Where zoologists have admitted this, they have tried to explain it away as dominance behaviour, or the result of sexual monopolies; Bagemihl argues that homosexual interactions are particularly common among species like the small chimpanzees, the bonobo, whose behaviour patterns are not hierarchy-related. He has much fun in the process; this is often a very funny book in its demolition of standard scientific paradigms. Bagemihl provides an extensive gazetteer of species of mammals and birds; why, somehow, is it unsurprising about flamingos and sparrows and giraffes? And why are the photographs of walruses and elephants at it so charmingly comical? Bagemihl offers hostages to fortune in providing so many line drawings of gay sex among species where there happen to be no useful photographs and in his philosophical perspective--an assumption of neo-vitalism that comes perilously close to talking of the Life Force--but his principal case is well and clearly made. --Roz Kaveney

Bruce Bagemihl writes that Biological Exuberance: Animal Homosexuality and Natural Diversity was a "labor of love." And indeed it must have been, since most scientists have thus far studiously avoided the topic of widespread homosexual behavior in the animal kingdom--sometimes in the face of undeniable evidence. Bagemihl begins with an overview of same-sex activity in animals, carefully defining courtship patterns, affectionate behaviors, sexual techniques, mating and pair-bonding, and same-sex parenting. He firmly dispels the prevailing notion that homosexuality is uniquely human and only occurs in "unnatural" circumstances. As far as the nature-versus-nurture argument--it's obviously both, he concludes. An overview of biologists' discomfort with their own observations of animal homosexuality over 200 years would be truly hilarious if it didn't reflect a tendency of humans (and only humans) to respond with aggression and hostility to same-sex behavior in our own species. In fact, Bagemihl reports, scientists have sometimes been afraid to report their observations for fear of recrimination from a hidebound (and homophobic) academia. Scientists' use of anthropomorphizing vocabulary such as insulting, unfortunate, and inappropriate to describe same-sex matings shows a decided lack of objectivity on the part of naturalists.

Astounding as it sounds, a number of scientists have actually argued that when a female Bonobo wraps her legs around another female ... while emitting screams of enjoyment, this is actually "greeting" behavior, or "appeasement" behavior ... almost anything, it seems, besides pleasurable sexual behavior.

Throw this book into the middle of a crowd of wildlife biologists and watch them scatter. But Bagemihl doesn't let the scientific community's discomfort deny him the opportunity to show "the love that dare not bark its name" in all its feathery, furry, toothy diversity. The second half of this hefty tome is filled with an exhaustive array of species that exhibit homosexuality, complete with photos and detailed scientific illustrations of the behaviors described. Biological Exuberance is a well-researched, thoroughly scientific, and erudite look at a purposefully neglected frontier of zoology. --Therese Littleton
