Five Time Loser by Naomi Brooks & Angelia Sparrow
Tom is a trucker. 36 years old and still handsome, he is a bit of playboy; even if he has a woman at home, a girlfriend since 15 years that he sees no reason to marry, he also has a string of one night stands all along the route he makes everyday. Plus Tom has a thing for young man, "barely legal", and when he listen the sexy voice of Pelton on the CB, he imagines this 23 years old young guy and all he can think is to meet him.Pelton is a teaser; he likes to sexy chat with Tom and to entice him to something more. He is aware that Tom has a girlfriend, and also that he is not searching for anything serious, but Pelton is not what he seems. Through black magic he manages to isolate Tom from everything and everyone he knows, and then present himself as a savior, someone on which Tom can rely.
The story is very short, 30 pages, but it's quite a twist in the classical romance. Nor Tom or Pelton are "positive" heroes... au contraire, they made things very bad, even if, probably, Tom's sins are more due to his weak behavior, and instead Pelton is the real evil man. Anyway since they are both "bad boys" (and not in the "good" meaning) it's quite right that they find each other.
Obviously, even if Pelton has the innocent look, big eyes and pouty mouth, he is the more dangerous of the two, and he is also the man who pulls the strings of Tom, like the man was a puppet. Pelton wants and Pelton gets. But since Tom is not a good man, I feel no pain for him, and then, in the end, he obtains exactly what he wants, even if not in the way he expected it.
Not easy to like if you are the type of reader who always wants her perfect hero, but if you can pass this limit, you will read a very little "creepy" tale. And in the end, the evil man is not so evil after all.

Duncan is Sir William's squire. Duncan is 18 years old but he is not "grown" like the other squires of same age. He is little and pretty, almost too pretty to be a man. And he is in love with his knight, Sir William. Duncan has yet to experiment sex, with women or men alike, but he dreams everynight of William and when he accidentally spies another squire making love with a man, he realizes that also him, who likes men, can physically love. But he still desires only William, who apparently only has female lovers.
