WHEN ZERO WILLPOWER MEETS AN IRON WILL...

Who goes to rehab eight times? Gage does. As a recovering addict fresh out of rehab, moving back in with his mom and starting over in his hometown isn't part of his life goals, but Gage needs all the support he can get. Lost and a little unsure of himself, Gage meets his new sponsor. A sponsor whose son is the perfect sober companion. But companionship isn't all these two find...

Content with who he is, Alexei isn't looking for anyone to save him. No stranger to the ups and downs of addiction, Alexei is comfortable with his life. Confident and resilient, he's learned to cope with trauma in his own healthy way, but that doesn't make him boring. Far from it. He may not need an army like Gage does, but he knows how to keep things interesting. Especially when he believes in true love and his soulmate just walked into town in the body of a sexy, shady smoker. The audacity of fate, right?!

What happens when zero willpower meets an iron will?

Gage and Alexei know they shouldn't fall for each other, but when destiny intervenes, well, let's just say... you can't fight soulmateship.

Shay Pierce

How could I love my fated mate when I couldn’t love myself?

Escaping with my young son from an abusive relationship, I had one plan to keep my son and I safe. Getting to the safety of my estranged brother and mending our rift. I never imagined I would find my fated mate at the worst possible time in my life. My priorities had to be rebuilding my life, breaking the mate bond that had been an epic mistake, keeping my son safe, and putting all my broken pieces back together. Easier said than done. My life was a train wreck and dragging Bennett into my mess wasn’t fair to either of us. I was barely hanging on, and I knew I couldn’t be the Alpha he deserved. So, I had to let him go.

Bennett Maxwell

They say you find love in the most unexpected places.

Finding my fated mate in the bruised and battered Alpha lying in the Emergency Room wasn’t the stuff my dreams were made of. But one look into Shay’s haunted eyes and I knew he and his adorable son were my future. Giving him the space he asked for was the hardest thing I had ever done, especially with him being my new next-door neighbor. I promised to give him the time he needed to heal, even if it meant keeping my pregnancy from him. But when his ex finds him, I’ll fight for what is mine.

I knew so little of love, I didn’t recognize it when it was right in front of me.

Mark
Sure, you can call me naive. I thought my bond with Logan was just casual—a bit of fun between friends with some very enticing benefits. He’s the one who encouraged me to pursue the nude model in our art class, practically pushing us together. If he wanted me to see someone else, why does everything feel so tense between us now?

Logan is more than my roommate; he’s my best friend. The last thing I want is to lose him, but everything has changed. I’m seeing the model now, and he has the kind of connections that could skyrocket my art career. I can’t afford any distractions, especially not from Logan. Yet, I can’t help but wonder if what I’m losing is worth what I’m gaining.

Logan
Jealousy? Sure, you can call it that. But Mark is mine, and I want him back.

From the moment we became roommates, I knew I had feelings for him. But I’ve always been terrible at relationships. I thought we could keep things uncomplicated—hookups, hangouts, no feelings attached. Instead, I pushed him away, right into another man’s arms.

Watching them together is unbearable. The way Mark looks at him used to be just for me. A better man might step aside, let him find happiness with someone who can give him everything he deserves. But now that I understand how deep my feelings run, walking away isn’t an option. I need to tell him the truth, so he knows he has a choice. Because if he knows, he’ll choose me... won’t he?

He was only supposed to be gay for pay.

I’ve never had sex before. And I've definitely never looked at a guy that way before. But with his brightly-colored hair and beautiful outfits, Rhys is hard to ignore--especially after I learn what he does for a living.
 

Signing up with The Camboy Network is way outside my comfort zone, but with Rhys guiding me the whole way, it doesn’t feel all that scary. In fact, it feels like fate.
 

Rhys

I left home the minute I turned eighteen, so falling for a guy from the old neighborhood is the last thing I should do--especially since he's straight. But he's utterly adorable, so innocently kinky, and exactly my type.
 

We shouldn't fit together so well, but we do. No matter how hard I try to stay away, I can’t. Our lives couldn’t be more different on the outside, but maybe we're a lot more alike than we think.

42, Muscle Daddy, enjoys putting Brody in his place and showing him who the real alpha dog is on this crew.
 
Running from your past can be painful. I moved to Jersey, hoping to find some peace and perspective. Instead, all I found was an annoying man-child who thinks that he’s God’s gift to women. Seriously, the arrogance of this man is astounding. If he thinks he can continue to disrespect people while I’m around, the boy clearly doesn’t know who he’s dealing with. There’s a new Alpha in town, and I’m about to show Brody what I do to those who misbehave.
 
Brody O’Connell
 
32, work for the O’Brien Crew and have my own auto shop. Oh, yeah, and I’m tough, muscular, and sexy as sin. \
Don’t hate me cus I’m hot, and my biceps are bigger than your head. I’m an Alpha. A top dog. Women want to lay with me, and guys want to be me. It’s a simple fact. Some of us have it, some of us… well, that’s not my issue to worry about. Everything was going great until my boss decided I needed a… partner? A boss? A glorified babysitter? I don’t exactly know what Rian’s role is supposed to be. All I know is that he thinks he’s the top dog. Just because his muscles are slightly bigger than mine, and he happens to be a head taller, he seems to think that I’m going to lay down on my back and let him take me… any way he wants… ordering me around. Come to think about it, why do I keep getting turned on whenever he gives me an order?
Perhaps, I’ll keep that last bit of information to myself…

Pretending to be like everyone else is exhausting, but I’ve mastered it. No one knows what really lurks behind the mask I wear every day. I’m not like others. I don’t experience emotions like they do. I have no need for human connection, but when I see Tyshawn, that changes. One look and I know he’s mine. It doesn’t matter that I’ve never been with a man before. He makes me want, he makes me burn. When he catches me … working … my second job, he has to decide if he wants to stay with me. I have to convince him that I’m willing to do anything for him … including slaying some of his demons.

Tyshawn

Owning my own bakery is my dream. When a friend of mine pushes me to contact the owner of Ray’s Beanery for a tasting to display my baked goods at his coffee shop, I jump at the opportunity. The sexy coffee shop owner I meet is as unexpected as my instant feelings of desire for him. That is, until I walk in on him covered in blood while he’s … working. I realize there is more to him than meets the eye. I’m terrified of him, but when I hear him out, I’m intrigued. I know what he’s capable of. Am I capable of it too?
