Bilson

The idea of moving away from Seattle was a joke at first.

​

I have too many failed relationships here. Too much baggage.

​

So when I find myself signing with Nashville and leaving everything behind, I’m hopeful a new start will cure me of my attachment problems.

​

I fall fast and hard, and I’m quickly realizing it’s not so easy to escape my emotional damage. That follows no matter where I go.

​

When my new teammate, rookie goalie Miles Olsen, attaches himself to my side, the media are excited to exploit our bromance. Little do they know, he’s doing me a favor by keeping me away from making mistakes with women.

​

That’s the deal we made at the beginning of the season, but as time goes on, and we’re both going through a dry spell, Miles suggests a different arrangement. One I’ve never contemplated. One I shouldn’t consider.

​

One I can’t stop thinking about.

​

Miles

My first day as starting goalie for Tennessee is made mildly more terrifying by coming face to face with NHL veteran Cody Bilson. Hero worship? Me? Never!

​

He reminds me of my old frat buddies; loyal, kind, easy to trade banter with. But my dude is lost and trying to find himself again--without getting married this time.

​

I want to help him, and while my suggestion might not be conventional, it sure as hell is effective. The only way to make sure he doesn't marry a woman again? Blow off steam with a man instead.

​

We're both straight, we're both single, and we're both down for a good time.

​

After all, what are teammates for?

Hot for teacher? No.
Hot for teacher's widower? Maybe a little more than I should be.

I merely meant to comfort Ren, to help him find steady ground in the middle of an ocean of pain. It was supposed to be a one-time thing.

Only… our chemistry, set ablaze by our extreme size and age differences, was something neither of us had experienced before. It was break-the-bed good and far too potent to stop at just the one time, so we didn't. And we've been hiding it from everyone—including his son—ever since.

I know this can only end one way. I’m just the stand-in. The much, much younger guy with his late husband's physique who’ll temporarily make him forget his grief.

If only he hadn't been so… sigh. Amazing. Funny. Brilliant. Beautiful.

I didn't mean to fall in love with him, but I couldn't help myself. If only he were ready to fall in love again.

Is it too much to hope that with time and a little help from the late Mr. Paige, Ren could let me be the love of the second half of his life?

His first time. All the way. On live cam.

Do you like to watch?

TYLER

Viewing a gay cam show was supposed to only be an experiment for Tyler Denning. Watching shouldn’t have led to a daily obsession … but it has.

He didn't bet on finding someone as magnetic as Sebastian. Provocative, gorgeous, irresistible as hell—Tyler has become Sebastian’s biggest fan.

So when he's invited to participate in a live scene, Tyler can only say yes to anything Sebastian wants.

JUSTIN

Playing camboy Sebastian on a popular website, Justin Blanchet is used to having adoring fans. But he’s never wanted to sleep with one.

Until now.

The undeniable chemistry and connection he feels with sweetly curious Tyler is intense. Tyler has yet to experiment in college, but has plenty of dirty fantasies swimming around in his head, and Justin’s eager to fulfill every single one. Live, on cam.

Only, the more time they spend together, the more Justin desires something deeper than filming for fans. If it’s only meant to be a professional hook-up, why does it feel so real?

Waking up to his one-night stand trying to flee the scene, Reid sits back to enjoy the show. This blond boy is all snark and quick-wit, but there’s an awkward side to him that intrigues Reid enough to want to con him into a second date. After numerous failed attempts, Atticus reluctantly agrees to an on-the-spot date, and things get quirky from there.

​

A philosophy major and a wayward son, these two work through their differences, battling red flags and a slew of Tuesdays that have them bonding in ways they never saw coming. There is no normal way to date Atticus, and Reid soon learns that this ‘romance lover’ has no idea what romance is, but he’s willing to put in the work.

​

Reid is taking back his life. Atticus is taking back Tuesdays.

​

Together, they’re a brilliant disaster.

August

My dad left and my mum turned her back on me when I was just a kid. Since then, I've been alone. For years I wished things were different, but time and experience taught me that wishing for a better life was foolish. I told myself love wasn't for me. I'd watched it crush my mum and I wouldn't let it do the same to me. I'd never take the risk.

​

Until him.

Caleb

I had my life planned out - work hard to get the job of my dreams, and find someone to share my life with. Though I’d dated before, I had yet to find the kind of connection I'd always wanted. The kind of love I saw my parents share. Until I walked into my new role and met him. With brown eyes that drew me in and a wicked grin that promised endless amounts of pleasure - I felt that connection I’d always hoped for. But his heart was off the table. And that's the part I wanted the most.

Five men, one love story.

None of them knew how many pieces they were missing until they all slotted into place.

Jericho thinks his life is complete, and that he doesn’t need anyone else. Quinn is sure he can never get back what he’s lost. Will wants to be a piece of someone’s heart, the hero of their story. Peyton fights his nightmares alone, struggling against the tide, his own dark thoughts an anchor. Sebastian’s hardened heart keeps him from letting anyone else in, too afraid to be hurt again.

Now real happiness, together, is within their grasp. Everything might be perfect if it weren’t for the man who wants all of their heads and won’t stop until he has them. It will take everything the five men have to reach for their happily ever after.

When the worst happens and their precarious foundation crumbles around them, is the love they weren’t prepared for going to be enough to keep them together… and alive?

Can you whisper?

Something I never thought I’d ask the guy who is exactly my type but completely wrong for me.

Someone I sneak secret glances at from a distance while vowing to never get too close.

And then I get tossed in jail.

With him.

Know how forced proximity and extreme panic go together?

They don’t. And the walls I spent a lifetime erecting around me crack,
giving him an intimate view of all the secrets I work so hard to protect.

Color me surprised when the pierced, tattooed DJ doesn’t recoil or call me a freak.

Arsen gets me through the night, his attention like a match to my insides,
lighting me on fire and making me burn.

Keeping my distance is impossible.

My body begs to be near him, but we just don’t mix.

He’s fire. I’m water.

Sound is his superpower but my kryptonite.

For once in my life, my heart is louder than my head, and I can’t stay away.

But it seems following my heart leads me straight into trouble.

Turns out I’m not the only one who thinks maybe Arsen and I don’t belong together,
and the people who agree will go to extremes to make sure we stay apart.

Grayson "Becks" Beckett

Settling down and starting a family with a mate was never something I longed for. Instead, I traveled the world working my government job, living for the next adventure. When that time came to an end, I was left adrift. Hooking up with a beautiful omega I met on a kink app was just what I needed to get out of the funk I was in. No names, no expectations. Just some no strings fun and then we’d both go our separate ways.

I never expected my hook-up to turn out to be my fated mate. Instead of accepting fate, I ignored it and hightailed it out of there. I had no intention of being tied down. Until the day I came face to face with my very pregnant fated mate, who was not at all happy to see me.

Wyatt Cooper

Sweet Alps was going to be my new beginning. No more stuffy academia, no more boring projects. Finally, I would be able to do what I enjoyed most, working with children. Buying the Little Cubs Daycare would be the beginning of my new life and freedom.

Imagine my surprise when I got pulled over and the sheriff turned out to be my sexy, nameless app hookup from months before. He wasn’t supposed to be here in my new town. He definitely wasn’t supposed to be delivering my baby on the side of the road, spouting nonsense about us being fated mates.

My anger at seeing him again only cemented my belief that mates were a myth. I might have been naïve enough to not realize what that electric shock between us had meant, but he sure as hell had. Without a word, he left me with nothing but the memories of our night together and a surprise baby as a bonus.
