When his girlfriend demands he settle down and start a family, Cole Winchester has some hard decisions to make. Marry his girlfriend, or finally own up to his taboo attraction to other men.

A Midsummer Night’s Steam story

Cole Winchester feels like a rat, boxed into a corner. Faced with the prospect of being trapped in a passionless marriage, he makes the hard choice to end his relationship.

A run in with an old friend on the beach, propels Cole’s fantasies out into the open and forces him to confront his taboo desires. Before him, lies the choice of a lifetime—embrace his desire for another man and all the pitfalls that come along with it, or return to his girlfriend and live out the safe half-life he carved for himself.

Warning, this title contains the following: explicit sex, graphic language, and hot nekkid man-love.

    “Taboo Desires follows Cole as he breaks away from the life he sees as safe to explore his true yearnings. Instant attraction and a lifetime of denial pack a powerful punch in Ms. Young’s fast moving story.”

  2. 4.5 Blue Ribbons!
    “Amanda Young tackles an almost unmentionable topic with her book TABOO DESIRES and I have to give her kudos for doing so. I found this story to be a real eye opener regarding the issues that gay people face as they come to terms with their own sexuality.”
