Cor’s crush on the straight boy in sword fighting class has been unrequited, but with one crossed sword, that’s all about to change…

Cor

From the second I showed up for sword fighting class, Felix grabbed my attention. Yet not only was he straight, but he also had a girlfriend. However, the more we hang, the more I can’t help but hang on his every word, every look. And when he ends up newly single, I can’t stop my hopes from running rampant.

Felix

I’ve been accused of talking about my best friend Cor too much, but when my client mistakes us for boyfriends and invites us to the historical gala of our dreams…well, it’s time to ask him to be my fake date. Except fake dating Cor doesn’t just feel natural, it feels better than most relationships I’ve been in. And when my curiosity for more takes the wheel, we end up exploring everything.

We’re circling each other, just like we do in a sword fighting match, however, this isn’t just skill or reputation on the line. Far too fast, it becomes clear that I love him, and if he doesn’t feel the same, I won’t just be disarmed—losing him would deliver the finishing blow.

Nothing like getting caught streaking to bring people together for the holidays…

Jordan

I’ve got a rep in town for causing trouble, and it’s well-earned. But when Nick and I get caught streaking after the tree lighting ceremony, we’re in for a messload of community service to get the town ready for the Collier’s Creek Christmas Bash. Except I’ve been craving to be taken more seriously, and Nick seems to be the only person in town who does.

After Jordan and I get in trouble, one joke leads to slipping between the sheets—or at least, the stalls—and suddenly we’re hooking up on the regular. It’s everything I’d told myself I didn’t want from my straight best friend, and I’m falling too hard and too fast. Yet my sister’s upcoming wedding is the reminder that I’m not just looking for a plus one there…but for keeps, and Jordan and I are just temporary. No matter how badly I want him to be mine.

Pixie is off limits, yet Eva cant seem to stay away from her brothers best friend

Eva's at rock bottom. She got dumped, not only by her boyfriend and girlfriend but also ditched by her folks when she came out as bi. Now, she's crashing on her brother's couch. Not the time to be crushing hard on his roommate…and best friend.

Pixie's running from her past. She's always kept her real family separate from her found family at Whipped, but the more the two threaten to bleed together, the more she's driven to bolt. However, Micah's sister Eva ensnares her attention, and she finds herself giving pieces of herself she doesn't offer to anyone else. Not only that, but Eva is the Domme of her dreams, the sparks between them burning hotter and brighter by the day.

The more time they spend together, the harder they fall—except it's all in secret. Pixie's already got one foot out the door, and Micah is the only family Eva has left. If he finds out Eva's been sneaking around with his best friend…losing him isn't a price she's willing to pay.

Liam Kelly is in love with his best friend. His straight, freshly divorced best friend, who wants to experiment…with him.

Ollie

The last thing I expected from my wife was a divorce. I'd checked all the boxes off—cozy house near my folks, joined the family business as a contractor, and married right out of high school. Except the more I think about how distant we've been, the more our split makes sense. And the more time I spend blowing off steam with my best friend, the more I want to actually…blow him.

Liam

Have I been hopelessly in love with Ollie my entire life? Yes, yes, I have. Has he been married for the past decade? Yes, yes, he has. However, when his wife calls it quits, my heart can't help contriving scenarios where he might not be as straight as he seems. And when those scenarios start coming true—from scorching looks to playful grapples until we go much further—I throw myself into the deep end.

The second we start hooking up, I can't hold back the feelings I've been clutching tight to for over a decade. But if this ends up a rebound for Ollie, a blip before he looks for a new wife, I won't only be out a best friend but the love of my life.

An adorkable author and an outgoing club kid as roommates only results in one thing—shenanigans! And of course, love.

Myles

The last person I expect to answer my roommate wanted ad is the hottie from the diner I've been pining over. Avery's social, flirty, and pretty much my polar opposite. Most of my days revolve around making aliens boink, however, scifi erotica novelist is a far cry from the journalist job my parents think I have. I like being invisible, and this new roommate sitch is about to shake all that anonymity up.

Avery

My new roommate is so damn gorgeous. Not only is he funny and easy to talk to, but he sees me—better than anyone else in my life. And with the way my family's ignoring my latest endeavor, the wellness fair my acupuncture practice is running, I'm lapping up every second of Myles's attention.

Sleeping with Myles is a bad idea. I don't need the complication, especially with the guy renting me my room. However, the more I learn about him, the harder he becomes to resist, until we're on a collision course that neither of us want to control…but will wreck us if it ends.
