    About this ebook

    Book 1 in the Vic and Matt: V Series

    The sudden appearance of superpowers might transform most mild-mannered men into egomaniacs with visions of grandeur. Fortunately, Vic Braunson isn’t most men. His powers come from his lover, Matt diLorenzo, and Vic refuses to let the abilities control or change him.

    But even he can’t stop the powers from enhancing who he is.

    The V in Valor is the first in a series of five stories exploring different aspects of Vic’s personality that are brought out by his superpowers. When one of the landlady’s cats gets loose, Matt broaches the subject of getting a pet with his lover. Vic doesn’t want the added responsibility, but the discussion raises questions of long-term commitment that neither man is ready to address just yet.

      The V in Valor

      By J.M. Snyder

      Vic Braunson opened one eye, his mind still muddled with sleep. The clock on his bedside table read a little after ten, and it took him a minute to figure out why the alarm hadn’t gone off. It was Saturday—no need to get up early because he didn’t have to go to work.

      Gripping his pillow in a bear hug, he burrowed down into it and sighed as he shut his eyes again. More sleep sounded heavenly. As his whole body relaxed, his mind stretched out beyond the confines of the bedroom to fill the rest of his apartment, searching to connect with his lover, Matt diLorenzo.

      But the apartment was empty.

      Vic drifted farther, his mind reaching past the solid confines of the home. Into the hallway, down the stairs, outside where Matt stood on the front stoop, morning newspaper in hand, chatting with a little girl whose overly eager Siberian husky craned its neck up toward Matt to be petted. When Vic’s consciousness brushed over his, Matt sent a loving thought Vic’s way. ::Morning, sexy.::

      With a slight groan, Vic answered, ::I ain’t up yet.::

      Though the smile on Matt’s
