As many times as Jakob had been through this, you might think there wouldn’t still be butterflies in his stomach. That he would know by now what to say well enough not to trip over his own tongue. That none of it could feel special anymore -- not the judge's words, the vows, the soft look in Ethan’s eyes that was for Jakob and Jakob alone as he proudly recited the phrase...

There's a thin line between loathing and lust. Turns out it's about the width of a hotel bed.

When Alex is forced to share a hotel room with the stuck-up captain of his university's soccer team, he knows it'll be pure torture. He's right, of course - but for all the wrong reasons. Turns out, Ian's not the man Alex thought he was. Confident, experienced, and sexy as all hell; Ian shouldn't be interested in a geek like Alex. Now if only someone would tell Ian that…

"Don't go out there."

"Good morning to you too, sunshine," Ethan muttered as he wandered over for a quick kiss, picking up Jakob's empty mug on his way. "Refill?"

"You're a saint," Jakob said, grinning up at Ethan.

"Naw, darlin'. I just played one on TV." Ethan smiled back, letting his eyes drink their fill of his boyfriend actually relaxing for once.

Alex’s world is falling apart. Soccer was supposed to be his escape. But with his dad’s trial looming, his mom’s medical bills piling up, and his boyfriend moving half a country away? Maybe his dreams of going pro are just that – dreams. And it’s time for Alex to wake up.

But someone is after Alex. He doesn’t know it yet, but Alex is fast running out of time. He’s trying to hold it together, for Ian’s sake. Trying his best to protect the man he - he just might love. That claims to love Alex back. Him. And if that’s not worth fighting for, Alex doesn’t know what is. So he’ll do whatever it takes, even if it means breaking a few rules. At least one of them should be able to follow their dreams…

Falling in love wasn’t part of the plan. Play hard, get scouted, and hope to be signed to a professional team? It’s the closest Ian’s ever had to a goal in life – until he met Alex. One year, Ian promised him. One year of settling into a new city, navigating his new team, and trying to make things work between them despite the distance. All while having to watch his boyfriend struggle with the problems in his life from afar.

Is it worth it? Ian doesn't think so. He's not sure what he’ll do if he doesn’t play soccer. But if they can't make this work, in one year Ian’s pretty sure he’ll find out…

"Nice eyeliner," Lucas found himself saying, the words slipping out before he could stop them.

Seth's hand flew up to his face, his eyes widening slightly. Very slightly — before something wounded fluttered through that gaze, something that hurt to even look at. Almost as quickly as it had appeared, it was stomped firmly down; Seth's face twisting into what Lucas could only now term a 'glower'.

"What do you want?" Seth growled, yanking Lucas out of his thoughts.

Cowboy, take me away…

What's a city boy to do when his dreams are filled with a whiskey-smoke drawl and warm brown eyes? With a voice as deep as the ocean and heart big enough to match? A chance encounter with house-flipping handyman Owen has Zach's heart singing a whole new tune. But Owen? He's been burned too many times before. A quick fling is one thing, but opening himself up to anything more? He’ll sit this dance out, thanks. The island's quaint old houses are easier to fix than a broken heart.

That’s fine, Zach tells himself. Totally fine. Really. Their no-strings-attached situation is enough for him. But a single phone call is all it takes to send Zach’s new life crashing to the ground, and it’s Owen's doorstep he turns up on looking for help. Can Zach convince Owen what’s been building between them is real, or will Owen decide Zach’s past is more than he can handle?

  • Main Character(s): Devon & Wes
  • Standalone: Yes

Two lonely men. One mind-blowingly fantastic night. Zero chance of ever meeting again.

Or so they thought.

Never in his life did Devon imagine he’d be married, much less a widower before he’d made it past his twenties. Luckier than he deserved the first time around, who would take a chance on a demanding grump like him now?

Wes is used to folk making assumptions based on his looks. Maybe that’s why the photographer is more comfortable behind the camera than in front of it. But when Devon enters the picture; eyes glittering with mischief as he demands Wes’s name? Wes knows he’ll never land Mr. Right, but a one night stand right out of his fantasies with Mr. Right-Now? Yes, Sir.

Both men know - this could never become anything more. Right?

# Rockstar/rRockstar, Second Chance, Roadtrip, Cowboy/Cowboy

  • Main Character(s): Elliot & Cole
  • Standalone: Yes

Who the hell is Elliot Hart? Fans call him the dreamboat cowboy with a golden drawl. The internet says he's a C-list country singer barely breaking the Top 100. His former bandmates might just repeat "Who?" — before remembering it's the stage name of their friend-turned-sellout, Leandro Valdéz. Elliot himself would tell you he's a coward who ran away from the man he loved, all to chase someone else's dream. And Cole Bishop, leader of The Roustabouts? He'd say Elliot Hart's a sonovabitch, a liar, a cheat — and the only man he ever let close enough to break his heart.

Now The Roustabouts are lighting up the charts, while Elliot's star is fading fast. A reunion tour is the last thing any of them want, but it's Elliot's only hope of reviving his career & The Roustabouts' first big break. Cole & Elliot's chemistry on & off stage is undeniable, but when #colelliot starts trending, it strikes a sour chord with the men themselves. For the sake of the band & each other, can they find harmony once more, before the tour — and the music — ends?

(For fans of steamy second chance MM rockstar romances that hit all the right notes.)
