Comment here with your prompts for our second Harlequin Kradam Fest.

We will accept prompts through January 4th.

All of the prompts will be collated into a list and posted here at [livejournal.com profile] harlequinkradam on January 5th for claiming. Prompts will be available for claiming (and you may post your fanfic or fanart submissions) from January 5th through March 31st.

You may submit:

~general prompts or more specific scenarios;

For example:

General Prompt: marriage of convenience

Specific Scenario: Kris Allen is the son of a wealthy businessman who must marry by his 25th birthday or lose the inheritance he plans to use to fund his own charity. He sees Adam Lambert, a struggling musician, perform one night and is smitten; Kris makes Adam an offer he can’t refuse.

~blurbs off the back of Harlequin romance novels, or blurbs from the back of DVD cases, or scenarios you’ve made up yourself, or mix ‘em up; and

~prompts from the last round (just c&p them into a comment here), whether they were claimed and filled or not.

The only requirements are that the prompt be Kris/Adam and be of a Harlequin nature (which we will interpret broadly). Harlequin is a type of romance that includes everything from traditional to historical, intrigue to supernatural. If you’re not sure what we mean by the term ‘Harlequin’, check out the eHarlequin writing guidelines.

ETA:

~Prompts should be Kris/Adam only. Please do not submit prompts requesting Kris/Katy/Adam or Kris/other or Adam/other.

~No crossover prompts allowed. (You may including other pairings, including crossover RPS pairings, in your fic so long as Kris/Adam is the main pairing, but we'd like to keep the focus of the comm, and therefore the prompts themselves, on Kris and Adam.)

For more information about the Fest please read the rules on the community profile. If your question isn’t answered there you may ask us here at the Q&A post.



Here are several more prompts to get us started:

~Kris Allen signs up for Theater 101 because it’s the only open course that fits his schedule. It’s not long before the professor learns what Kris has always known: he sucks at acting. Kris is handed over to the not so tender mercies of TA, Adam Lambert, who teaches Kris about acting, and a whole lot more.

~Single dad Kris Allen finally bows to the inevitable and hires a nanny to help him take care of his daughter/son. Picturing the staid nanny types who suck all the fun out of life, he tells the service that he wants someone who is imaginative and artistic. When Adam Lambert first appears on his doorstep, Kris isn’t sure he’s the right man for the job, but Adam soon convinces Kris otherwise.

~When photographs of Kris Allen kissing another man are posted on-line he refuses to deny that he is gay. His record company claims breach of contract, but they give Kris a choice: either he will be banned from performing publicly for the remainder of his contract and sued for damages, or he can agree to allow them to sell his contract to Adam Lambert, a man who has made no secret of his desire for Kris.

~Kris Allen is forced to approach Adam Lambert, King of the Vampires in Los Angeles, California to request a favor. Adam, attracted to Kris, grants the favor on the condition that Kris spend one night with him. Kris agrees and earns the favor, but Adam is unable to stop thinking about him after their single night of passion. Adam determines to find him and make Kris his . . . permanently.

1. Faced with bankruptcy, Kris Allen needed a husband - fast. But despite her advertisement, his only candidate was Adam Lambert. Their marriage would be a business arrangement - nothing more. Not that Adam would want anything else - he'd made that clear eight years ago. And Kris was too smart to fall for the same trick twice, wasn't he?

2. Adam Lambert has to find a husband... But where can he find the perfect man? He has to be attractive, kind, a good conversationalist... and most important, she has to accept him as he is: devilishly handsome, charming and, as far as anyone knows, poor as a church mouse! If the high society discovers his hidden wealth, he'll never find the right husband.

Adam's heart races when he first lays eyes on Kris Allen. He is everything he desires - and more - but Adam is caught in his own trap. Believing that Adam needs to marry into wealth, Kris rejects all his advances, certain he would never a poor man like her. As they play out a game of cat and mouse, can Adam convince Kris that he is the man he wants- and that Adam is the husband Kris deserves?

Kris Allen. The name still made butterflies swarm in Adam's stomach even after eight years, even after Kris left him after their only kiss. Then he spots the bartender at a bar at Tommy's birthday party, and it's Kris.

Kris Allen is living with his room-mate Danny Gokey, and can't remember a thing before the last eight years. Then one day a stranger turns up at the bar he works at and claims to know him. Kris is eager to know his past, but Danny won't let Kris remember!

Rancher Kris Allen is tired of being lonely and having nobody but the horses for company. A friend of his mentions a mail order companion service to him and on a whim, he decides to try it.

He never expected city slicker Adam Lambert to show up on his doorstep or the instant attraction he would feel to another man.

Kris finds an unmarked videotape hidden away while working as the new caretaker in Adam Lambert's Manor. On the screen was Adam, his much fantasized about boss with another man. Adam quietly enters the room to see Kris extremely turned on. Adam encourages Kris, eventually joining in, giving Kris a lot more than what was on the tape, which is what Adam wanted all along.

I would love an old fashion romance/modern-day fairy tale: handsome millionaire falls hard for struggling young waiter/singer/bartender/painter/whatever. Lots of wooing, getting to know everything about each other,and hardcore sweeping off of feet. Millionaire gets his heart and into his bed. Maybe a proposal in the end?

1. Kris Allen is looking for the son his college girlfried Katy put up for adoption without his permission. Kris discovers accidently that Rock Star Adam Lambert has custody of his son. Adam's friend Danielle and her husband adopted Kris' son as a baby, but were killed in a car accident and left custody of their son to Adam. Situation more complicated due to a complicated past relationship (not necessiarly sexual) with Adam.

2. Adam and Kris are actors hired on a Daytime Drama. Adam's character is considered straight, but not willing to face his true sexually. In real life Adam is gay. Kris' character is gay, but in real life Kris is straight. Adam and Kris meet and have a good time getting to know each other and giving each other advice on how to act gay/straight for their characters. Extra hours of rehearsing and playing scenes together on the show bring about an epiphany for both Adam and Kris.

3. Adam is burned out. Tired of paparazzi and notoriety. Adam finds out that he has inherited an Australian Dude Ranch and decides to take a break and take over management of the ranch. Ranch foreman Kris Allen is already an employee and has is own cabin that he shares with his wife. Fun and some hilarious times with Adam learning the so called "ropes" of ranching. Also fun with guests and their requests and desires for Adam and other employees. Also, Adam doesn't know that Kris isn't really marriage. Prior management required foreman to be married to discourage guests and foreman from comingling.

1. Five years have gone by and Kris's label has dropped him. He is out of work and has lost his apartment. He is playing at a local club in LA and Adam sees him. They have been out of touch for a long time and Kris tells Adam about the hard times he's fallen on. Adam tells Kris he can stay with him until he gets back on his feet.

2. Adam still has feelings for Kris even though it's been years since Idol. When he finds out Kris is divorced and bisexual, he wonders if it's the right time to tell Kris how he feels. The situation is further complicated when Adam meets Kris's boyfriend - a man that bears a striking resemblance to him!

1. Kris is looking for a job, and finds one as a keyboardist on a tour with a group of three singers/drag queens. He finds himself helping out the 'girls' (who are a foot taller than him, and more muscled, and stronger to boot!) by carrying their bags, finding their costumes, getting the gas, etc. The 'girls' love their little southern sidekick... although, they aren't too sure if Kris knows they're not female (he keeps opening doors!).

But when Kris starts to fall for Adam, hijinks ensue as Adam tries to be the 'girl' in the relationship...at least until everyone figures out what makes them all happy.

2. Brad (a performer on the brink of his next big break, fresh from a messy break-up, and wanting nothing more than a vacation from the drama of WeHo) and Kris (in a messy breakup by avoidence with his girlfriend Katy, an idealist singer/songwriter, looking for a fresh start) meet up accidentally and decide to switch lives for a while. Oh the joys of www.lifeswitch.org (I think this is a fake website???)

Except Adam wants to make up with Brad, or at least be friends, and Kris is there so yeah...awkward? But Adam's cute and when Adam decides to show Kris around WeHo, and falls in love with the tiny guy from Arkansas - Kris thinks maybe the whole glitter stalker guy isn't so bad either. And Brad? Oh he's doing fine...he really likes watching Kris's neighbor Cale.

1. Acting impulsively, Kris Allen indulged in one night of steamy sex with a stranger--but his actions came back to haunt her when she discovered that his passionate lover was none other than his new boss, Adam Lambert!

Mortified, Kris has to fly to Bali with Adam to a luxurious holiday resort for business. Kris wants to prove she can be utterly professional, but ten sultry nights with his bad-boy boss are going to test his resolution to the limit....

2. Kris thought he knew Adam Lambert, a charming, rakish playboy who was used to men being served to him on a plate. In his eyes he was just his utterly efficient, slightly uptight assistant.

Until Kris nearly lost the thing that mattered most to him, and unexpectedly Adam was there to help: he was prepared to marry him! But the catch... Adam wanted this convenient marriage to keep Kris not only as his trusty assistant--but also to warm his bed....

3. Though he's superrich and supereligible, marriage hasn't been on Adam Lambert's agenda. Instead the handsome tycoon is focused on personal revenge--and Kris Allen, his sworn enemy's son, is central to his plan. Kris will pay for his fraudster father's sins. Adam will ruthlessly seduce him, bed him and discard him....

But when Adam's desire for Kris becomes very real and very strong, one night is not enough. However, making Kris his willing husban might just satisfy his need for vengeance....

After 25 long years of silence about it, Kris' parents tell him he has a long lost twin brother somewhere far away from Arkansas. Kris decides to go look for him and finds him in LA, together with his very handsome boyfriend Adam Lambert.
Kris doesn't let his brother know of his appearance, but he does try to get closer to Adam.
Awkward and tense situations will happen.
After a long time, Kris has enough of his little game and confesses to Adam who he really is.
Who will Adam choose? His old boyfriend, or his (almost) identic twin brother, who, Adam has to admit, is a lot nicer than his current boyfriend.

1.) Kris didn't think his life was supposed to go this way. He went to church on Sunday, he helped him Mama at bake sales, and even if there was that one time he tried pot at college, there was just not a lot of rationale for why his life became so... universally odd. But one late-night run to the 7-11 to pick up dinner and a pint of icecream for his ex-girlfriend (seriously, he gets dumped and still needs to be the shoulder she cries on? that should have been his first clue....) and then with a beam of light he's on a journey half way across the universe with a sparkly alien who intends to make Kris his mate. Arthur Dent has nothing on this romance.

2.) Adam is a warrior King with a penchant for rhinestones and white leather, on a planet where battles for power are played out not on the battlefield but through singing competitions. Kris is the baker and chef on a space ship who are exploring different worlds, much like that funny television show from the 20th and 21st centuries. Except, Kris's crew search the universe for new flavors and culinary finds. Who knew that singing while picking Royal berries was going to cause such an international incident? Kris hopes Katy understands that he has to divorice her and become consort to a guy for the sake of diplomacy and culinary evolution. Yeah, he doesn't think so either....

1.) Adam rejected a recently-divoriced Kris. Then he might have ran away to Europe for a month. And maybe found himself on the cover of a few magazines for some less-than-steller stuff, but it was a less-than-stellar month. But he's back now, he's willing to be a man. He's willing to be the man Kris wants to marry, or whatever it is that Kris wants. But it looks like Adam has competition. Since Kris seems to have run into his ex's sympathetic and fishnet-clad arms! Doh! Now Adam has to try and win back Kris's trust and try and avoid more scandal when he can.

2.) Kris is a political science major on a trip to the desert with his study abroad group. An unexpected sandstorm leads more to danger and adventure than Kris could ever expect. Especially when he finds himself at the mercy of Sheikh Adam, but like any poly-sci major Kris isn't willing to let himself be steamrolled. Even if he allows the slippered shoes, and the bracelets, and fine, he'll put on the transparent pants but that's it! He's serious this time!

Sheikh 'Adam' Adammual is a leader bored with the luxuries afforded him. Finding the virginal Kris to be more than just entertainment, but the key to becoming a better leader...and also the key to Adam's heart.

1.) Okay, so Kris is a Knight-level boyscout, looking to earn his last courage-badge before he turns 25, the last year they'll allow him to remain in the league. He just needs to do something amazing. The easiest way to earn a badge was princess-saving. Matt had saved princess Meg from the Anoopister monster and his other friend Cale had already saved his princess too! Kris's own princess, Katy, wasn't really the damsal in distress type, though. In fact, she had actually helped Kris earn his sword-fighting badage and wrestling-alligator badge, and stuff. So, Kris was left with the other option - defeating a dragon. The only dragon in the land is Adam. But Adam isn't a typical dragon and things get complicated, especially when Adam decides Kris is his treasure!

2.) Kris is like a baby seal. No, seriously. Adam has watched Kris go up to angry anti-gay protestors with bats to talk about peace and love and shit. Kris has climbed a 15 foot tree to get a kitten. He has even ran into traffic to get a kid's wayward balloon. It's terrifying when his tiny southern friend will get himself into. ADAM CAN NOT TAKE IT ANYMORE. So, he puts Kris on a leash. He did not take into consideration the consequences of this.

1.) Adam's living an unusual life. As an openly out Rabbi-esque/spiritual leader/yoga-instructor Adam's pretty good with life and god and karma. But fate's got a funny sense of humor but Adam's confident he's settled his karamic debt. So, when the guy of Adam's dreams shows up, the last he is expecting to become the spirtual counselor to the nicest, most adorable CHRISTIAN guy ever... who just happens to be confused about his sexuality.

2.) Kris is a personal trainer, recently relocated to LA, uncomfortable with his lack of 'LA style' or knowledge on what a 'scene queen' is. Adam is the slightly pudgy jadded singer needing to shed a few pounds for a role. It's a little embarrassing, okay a lot embarrassing, to have a cute totally earnest guy encouraging you while you're working off post-breakup Ben and Jerry pounds. But, love doesn't come by having a 32 inch waist, yet it does come when one's heart is open.

(Older prompts copied over)

Twelve year old Kris Allen is married off at midnight to the fifteen year old son of a sinister Duke , who is then exiled for an unpardonable indiscretion. Nine years later, Kris is living a peaceful existence, unaware that the disturbing dream he had as a child is in truth reality and that he is married. When Kris rescues, and falls in love with, a wounded duelist he has no idea that Adam, the handsome stranger with the blue eyes who sweeps him off his feet, is in truth his husband.
-
Kris Allen almost welcomed the news of the pirates boarding his ship. Anything would be better than joining the man that he'll be forced to wed - even death at the point of a sword. But as the handsome pirate captain undressed him with his flashing blue eyes, he began to tremble with new fears . . . and new desires. For he sensed a fury in this man he did not understand . . . and passions he knew he could not control.
-
Courting scandal since boyhood, free-spirited Adam Lambert vows there is just one way to save his childhood friend from a loveless marriage: to kidnap him! But Kris is furious. So angry that he challenges him to take their assignation to its natural conclusion and seduce him. When his inexperienced attempt flares into intense passion, Adam is ruined…and hopelessly, unexpectedly, in love with Kris. Now the wild and willful Adam must convince Kris that they are a perfect match—in every way.

(New prompts) *Stolen from my goodreads and changed a little*

When Kris Allen's baby brother is kidnapped by Faeries and a changeling left in his place. He must travel to the land of Faery,and save him before it's too late. Now Kris will learn just how far he'll go to save someone he cares about, and to find love with a young prince who might rather see him dead than let him touch his icy heart.
-
In a single moment, everything changes. Seventeen-year-old Kris has no memory of the accident; he can only recall riding along the snow-wet road with his family. Then, in a blink, he finds himself watching as his own damaged body is taken from the wreck... In the hours that follow he watches his loved one's suffer while he lies in a coma, and his mind wanders back over his life. his family,his friends,and the boy he loves. He must now decide either to live or let go.
-
Kris has spent years watching the wolves in the woods behind his house. One blue/gray eyed wolf watches back. He feels deeply familiar to him, but he doesn't know why. Adam has lived two lives. As a wolf, he keeps the silent company of the boy he loves. And then, for a short time each year, he is human, never daring to talk to Kris...until now. For Kris and Adam, love has always been kept at a distance. But once it's spoken, it cannot be denied. Adam must now fight to stay human—and Kris must fight to keep him.
-

Marrying a vampire definitely doesn’t fit into Kris Allen’s senior year “get-a-life” plan. But then a bizarre (and incredibly hot) new exchange student named Adam Lambert shows up, claiming that Kris is a vampire prince by birth—and he’s his long-lost fiance. Kris soon has to make an dramatic transition from average American teenager to glam European vampire prince.
-

Adam Lambert is a Dhampir, a bodyguard for his best friend Kris a Vampire Prince. They've been on the run, but now they're being dragged back to the very place where they're most in danger. . . . When they become enmeshed in a forbidden romance they must fight the very people who try to pull them apart.

So I just finished watching Lost Girl and totally want a fusion. So:

Kris is an incubus abandoned at birth and raised by humans, never knowing or understanding what he is. Until he saves a plucky young woman, Allison, from being raped one day. His messy kill alerts the local Fae authorities and suddenly Kris is pulled into the complex political world of the Fae.

Now Kris has an unexpected sidekick in Allison and a mysterious protector in the form of a werewolf fae named Adam.

Adam is the first person Kris has been able to sleep with and not wake up next to a corpse. Will Adam open himself up enough for Kris to be with him? Or will Kris be swayed by the human doctor for the Fae, Katy, who is teaching Kris how to control his powers enough to be with humans?

Edited for clarity.

1.) Kris has always been a little weary about the crazy fans, you know what he means. The kind that get twitter accounts just to lol to his @reply's. The real ... weirdo's that tattoo his face on their thighs, and when they meet him tell him more about his upcoming plans and wereabouts than Kris himself knows. (And it's not even a leak with his PA!) But this, even for LA, is a little much. When a fan leaves him a baby at his hotel room, not even he knows what will happen during the next ten days of his life. He totally didn't think he'd be getting accused of infidelity, or the divorice papers, or the fact people assumed he'd be a good father, or the fact that Adam (after much yelling at Kris for cheating on Katy...so unfair!) moves in with him to make sure Kris doesn't drown the kid in plaid (No, really Kris it could happen!). Or that life sometimes gives you something you never thought you'd need.

2.) Kris has come out. By which, I mean, he has had his good (albeit drunken) friend Allison announce Kris is gay at an award show. OMG his life is like that movie from the 90's with Tom Selleck. Except, Katy just hugs him and tells him she understands now about the dance moves, or how sometimes likes extra attention paid to his ass during sex. His parents aren't any better, pushing Kris into getting married to a guy (what about Cale isn't he a nice boy?) when he isn't divoriced yet. And right as the entire population is descending in mass to his front door, his best friend Adam is MIA/understanding/laughing his glittered butt off. He keeps trying to tell the world that he's not gay. Except somehow running after Adam, and doing other stuff like getting misty eyed on a national news show because Adam won't call him (what?! it was a very stressful day) or trying to avoid the press by living at Adam's for a week in hiding has everyone thinking other things too. And Kris is starting to think it too...

based on Remember When by J. McNaught. (Note: I'm copying this off the book I have in hand. I looked it up to c&p the blurb, but all the sites I saw have it paired with a blurb from a different book, so if you look the book up and see something about twins, that's why.) Seriously though, this made me awwww.

Alone on a moonlit balcony at Houston's White Orchid Charity Ball, Kris Allen had no inkling of the extraordinary journey that would begin that night. Recently jilted by his fiancee for a blond(e) Italian heir(ess)--an insult delivered via a sleazy tabloid--Kris felt obliged to attend the ball, if only to uphold the sparkling, steadfast image of his family's "Beautiful Living" magazine. Very publicly UNengaged, Kris knew that certain socialites were already spinning nasty rumors. So why was billionaire Adam Lambert closing in on him with two crystal flutes and a bottle of champagne?

The former stableboy had received an ultimatum from his crusty uncle: Adam must bring home a spouse, soon, or see part of the business he had built go to an undeserving relative. Coolly analytical and arrestingly attractive, Adam had decided his spouse should be rich in his own right, meltingly beautiful, and a man of immeasurable character. In short, Kris Allen! But while champagne and a long, slow kiss sealed the bargain that solved both their dilemmas, neither imagined that a match made in logic's heaven could be headed straight for an unexpected once in a lifetime love.

Yanked from the Christmas eHarlequin page. Good God, these are really freakin' hilarious.

A Man For All Seasons

Kris Allen's Christmas List

1. Get a roommate so he can afford his mortgage after broken engagement.
2. Check! His old family friend Adam Lambert needs a room. So what if he's been his longtime crush?
3. Ramp up his home-business success.
4. Oops. He works so much that Adam presents him with a 12 Days of Christmas charity auction dating package—just to get him out of his hair!
5. Okay, get a move on with twelve surprisingly fun dates.
6. Hmm. Start to see Adam as pretty hunky…and living under the same roof.
7. Wow. Kiss Adam. Get hot 'n' heavy under the tree one night!
8. Start to believe in holiday magic…
9. …until Adam breaks his heart again.
10. Make a new Christmas list. Well, maybe after unwrapping Adam just one more time….

His Christmas Virgin


Adam Lambert is a man renowned for being arrogant and seemingly emotionless, both inbusiness and in his private life. He never combines work and pleasure, and steers clear of any guy who doesn't play by his rules…

Rule 1: He doesn't bed virgins.

Rule 2: He doesn't do Christmas.

Kris Allen loves the festive season, and he's as pure as the snow falling outside Adam's window. But by Christmas Day he might well have Adam breaking every rule in his book!

(lololol I know)

Private Parts (LMAO)

Subject: Adam Lambert. Intense—and intensely sexy—businessman. He never mixes business and pleasure…until he meets his hunky new lawyer!

Object: Kris ALlen. Hotshot attorney. Willing to do anything to save his family from ruin…no matter how devastating the cost!

Situation: They're fighting to rescue an economically beleaguered town…right before Christmas. They're also having mind-blowing sex that's so steamy they can hardly be in the same room without ripping off each other's clothes!

Unexpected maneuver: Adam discovers Kris betrayed him…in business and in pleasure. Only one victor will emerge in this new personal battle…unless the spirit of the holidays inspires them to find a way they can both win—over and over again….

--

Nobody in Good Riddance is wondering how world-class chef Kris Allen ended up running the local diner. No, but everybody's dying to know the identity of the mysterious, sexy stranger who's eyeing him like he's scrumptious crème brûlée…

Travel journalist Adam Lambert loves coming across the unusual—and the annual Good Riddance Christmoose Parade definitely fits the bill! But his biggest surprise is Kris! When they finally lure each other into bed, the sex is better than chocolate. Way better!

But Kris has a secret…and a complicated, dangerous past. Worse yet, when he discovers the truth about Adam, he might never be allowed to sample his delicious goods again. And with a man like Kris, one taste just isn't enough….

--

Unexpectedly homeless for the festive season and exhausted from transforming the penthouse of the hotel where he works into a dazzling winter wonderland, chambermaid Kris Allen secretly sleeps over. Woken by an outrageously sensual kiss, Kris feels his body come alive…until he realizes his seducer is Adam Lambert, his dangerously attractive new boss!

This Christmas, it's imperative that Adam's reputation appear spotless—but innocently enticing Kris is a temptation he can't resist! Their scorching chemistry leads to twelve nights of endless pleasure. But will it last once the decorations come down?

--

When renowned international playboy Adam Lambert invites shop assistant Kris Allen to join him for dinner, how can he refuse? After all, he's an ordinary guy and chances like this don't come around very often!

Throwing caution to the wind, unworldly Kris is completely at Adam's mercy before he knows it. He finds himself agreeing to be his "mistress" for Christmas…. But will an unexpected gift make this temporary festive arrangement last a lifetime?

1.) Gay Mafia? It exists. Adam just happens to be the leader. When a cute young twink enters into the backroom of their meeting and sees something he shouldn't see, well Adam has no choice but to keep him, right? It doesn't hurt that Kris is perfect, even if he has a horrible sense of direction. Except apparently, Kris works for the FBI. It might be a Romeo and Juliet fiasco, but Adam has the gay mafia backing him up on this and he always gets what he wants... even if that includes an IT intern who mostly knows how to make great coffee and look pitiful when he apologizes for the delay in customer service.

2.) Kris is a black belt and can break cement blocks with his pinky finger; as such, he sees no issue walking around at night. But when he comes across a bad guy mugging a prostitute he does what needs to be done. Then he offers to buy the poor guy a coffee because he wants to help, and like his Mama taught him, even Jesus saw fit to be nice to Mary Magdalene.

Adam hates his life, or just the play he's in. He'd rather be doing another Debbie Does Dallas musical than his role as street walker #3. The only thing good about the role is this month's rent and the boots. Adam's a big guy and in his bigger-than-elton's stiletto boots he maxes out about seven feet tall, and he feels awesome! The last thing he expects is for someone to try and mug him (like he really has room for a wallet in his hot pants!). He could take care of it, he grew up fat and faggy after all and knows a thing or two about fighting, but maybe it's not all bad to have a night in shining armor once in a while. Actually, Adam could get used to this (it's even cute that Kris is afraid of spiders) - even if Kris needs to catch a clue and realize Adam isn't actually a hooker.

When Captain Adam Lambert captures an enemy spacecraft, he takes aboard a brown-eyed stranger who captures his heart and throws his well-ordered life into chaos. The heat they generate burns as brightly and naturally as the stars - until Kris is stolen away by a merciless pirate who trades in lives, leaving Adam broken and haunted by his last, angry words to his lover. After five years of searching, Adam is finally united with Kris, only to find him dying, imprisoned by a strange, ring-bound enchantment that is slowly draining his soul. Removing the ring will mean his immediate death unless Adam can find a source of powerful, ancient magic.


Adam Lambert has a rule he won't break: Don't take anyone home. Kris is trying to survive on the streets of LA with no money, no identity, and no friends. When Adam meets Kris, all thoughts of "safe" go flying out the window. He takes him home for the best sex of his life, not knowing that Kris is a sex slave on the run from a man who'll do anything to get him back.
