Liam
I’ve landed my first big assignment with Elite, and it has the potential to be a financial game-changer, so I’m determined not to screw it up. All I have to do is pretend to be a wealthy CEO’s boyfriend on a sun-kissed tropical island for a week. How hard can that be?
Unfortunately, I’m met at the airport by an unexpected blast from my past: Matthew O’Conner. The nerd who lived next door to me growing up—also known as my lifelong nemesis.
This job just got a whole lot more complicated.
Matthew
My blood runs cold when I spot Liam sauntering through the airport doors. Of all the people in the world to show up to be my fake boyfriend for a week, why did it have to be Liam Jamieson? Mr. All-American Charm. The jock with a smile that melts everyone—except me. We’ve been at odds since childhood, trapped in an endless cycle of pranks and one-upmanship.
And now we have to pretend we’re in love? This is going to be a complete disaster.
Or is it?
It turns out Liam and I have both grown up since high school. And maybe, just maybe, we never actually knew each other to begin with.

Not So Casual
by Ashley Rayne
What happens when the lines between boss and employee get blurred?
​
Alexander
From the moment he stepped into my office, there was something different about Elias Bowen. Something that always drew me in and made me want to know more, to drop the walls I’d spent years building. After seeing a different side to Elias, we both have to figure out where our feelings lie. The problem? He’s my assistant.

Elias
From the second I walked into his office, I wanted him. Alexander Hayes. He’s a man who can get everyone he wants, and all I want is him. After an embarrassing night, I throw caution to the wind and push the boundaries of our friendship to see if we could be more. The problem? He’s my boss.
Chasing You
by E.M. Lindsey
“Playing house-husband to my best friend isn’t weird, right? Even though I’m head over heels in love with him and he doesn’t have feelings for me?”
Adele is a caretaker. Always has been, always will be. So when his lifelong best friend comes home after losing his job to a nervous breakdown and chronic illness, Adele steps in. And it’s easy enough, except for the fact that Adele has been in love with Kash for most of his life.
He’d moved on once, with a wife and kid, but all that fell apart, and now Kash is back in his life and needs him more than ever. Adele isn’t quite sure how to protect his heart while also giving his best friend what he needs, but the one thing he does know is that he won’t let Kash down.
Not now. Not ever.
Things seem a little different between them now, though. Kash is angrier, bitter, more closed off. Adele thinks it’s something he’s done, but maybe it’s not that. Maybe it’s feelings Kash is too afraid to say out loud.
Whatever the case, Adele knows he’ll protect those he loves with as much fire as the ones he puts out, and Kash is no exception to that rule. And he never will be.
Dared
by Becca Steele
When I discovered that my online gaming friend was Leo Evans, a student from my university, I had no idea how much my life would change.
On paper, we’re complete opposites.
He’s a shy computing student and I’m an outgoing footballer.
Yet there’s an undeniable connection between us.
Despite our differences, he’s become my closest friend, and I'm on a mission to make him see himself the way I see him.
So I’ve been daring him to do things to get him out of his comfort zone, to prove to himself that he’s capable of so much more than he thinks he is.
Then…Leo turns the tables on me.
He dares me to kiss him.
It’s supposed to be for practice.
But then it happens again.
And again.
It started with a dare.
It wasn’t supposed to turn into something more…

Dash Richmond
After what my family did to us, I somehow manage to not only survive, but to thrive. I’m an attorney, a junior partner in one of the most prestigious law firms in the country. The climb up the ladder is daunting. But my guy, the love of my life, pushes me to never give up, and I haven’t. We know the sacrifices we’re making will give us a better life once my education pays off.
While that’s all true, fast forward in time. Somehow, I’ve lost my way. I’m walking a tightrope where one wrong step could cost me everything. Now I’m stuck in a place I never planned to be with a man who’s losing faith in me by the second.
Beau Brooks
My determination to be a self-made man is becoming a hard goal to achieve. I couldn’t have asked for a better partner. I love him beyond reason, but all that devotion isn’t helping me get through the long, lonely days and nights for months on end. Dash puts everything else first and is morphing into a man I don’t recognize, leaving me to live a life I never wanted.
When I finally see the truth in a way I can’t overlook, leaving my love is the only real option. Am I strong enough to make a change or will I continue to fade into the hidden shadows where Dash seems to want me to dwell?
Our strong relationship could unravel when the differences become too hard to ignore. Can the bonds we forged in our past hold us together or will our carefully laid foundation crumble, leading us to separate lives?
Blood on Ice
by Silvia Violet
Who knew a hockey game could change your life?
The first time I saw Zeke on the ice, I knew he was mine.
My brother said I was stalking Zeke, but I like to think of it as showing my appreciation. I pretended it was just a game, something to keep me occupied since my family didn't really need me.
The way Zeke searched the stands for me when he thought I wasn’t watching let me know he wanted me too, even if he wasn’t ready to admit it. One day he'd give in. That was inevitable.
He comes to me, needing a loan. The year he spent in Vegas wasn't kind to him, and he's in deep debt. He doesn't like the terms I offer and tries to walk away.
I'll never let that happen. He's in danger, and no one is going to hurt him. Not on my watch.
I knew I could make him surrender to me, but the more time I spend with him, the more I find myself revealing things I've never told anyone. Money problems I can easily fix, and I make a damn good bodyguard, but is it possible we might heal each other? Is it possible for two wounded men to fall in love?
