Kyp had enough smothering to last him a lifetime. He overcame so much to graduate high school. Now that he's finally at college, he's finding that the start is harder than he thought.

He has a roommate for the first time in his life, and people who would like to be his friends if he'll let them in. Kyp wants to be independent, but circumstances beyond his control will teach him that sometimes the second half of the race is the hardest part.

Making amends to someone is more than simply telling them "I'm sorry." It's acknowledging your flaws to someone that you wronged, admitting exactly what your wrongs were, and promising that person you will live your life trying your hardest to not hurt someone else like that. You're promising them you will try to live a better life. After Scott hurt TJ, his life quickly spiraled out of control. Now, he has an awesome sponsor, an awesome boyfriend (who is his sponsor's younger brother), and working The Steps (until he reaches The Eighth Step). Will he find the strength to try and contact TJ again to make amends for what he did?

Visiting the town where he went to college, a closeted man enters a gay bar on his 50th birthday and is given a special drink with life-changing properties.

When love isn't something you believe in, what do you do when all you've ever believed in comes crashing down? Do you run away? Do you deny everything? Or do you simply embrace the fact that you were wrong? Siam is a young wolf who doesn't believe in love, even though he is a living proof that love exists. When he finally finds his mate, and then falls in love with him, Siam finds himself in a very problematic position, at least for him, and doesn't know what to do.

Just your usual love story, with a slightly less than usual guy.

Meadowbrooks was the kind of town you dreamed of escaping from. Conservative, redneck and anti anything progressive. Bryan had an escape plan though. Follow his parents wishes for one more year and they would pay for his freedom. It was working out well so far. He had friends. He had a job. He was just biding his time but he didn't plan on being the one thing this town hated most: Gay. Could he keep his secret long enough to get out of Meadowbrook? Would his friends still stick by his side if they knew? Would he be able to hide his feelings for Rob? Would things be any different out there in the "real" world?
