Now he's trapped between four lethal ex-mercenaries...

And a dangerous world of secrets ready to steal far more than he ever bargained for.

Jake Henderson has a husband.

And a habit of ending up in Haven Cooper’s bed.

Haven’s rich, reckless, and beautiful in the way bad decisions usually are.

He makes guilt feel like seduction, and walking away feel like losing.

Jake tells himself it’s just an affair.

But lines blur quickly when ego and obsession start to look like love, and control starts to feel like safety.

In a city full of glass towers and dark corners, the real danger isn’t in being watched.

It’s what happens when no one’s watching.

Noah has been living a seemingly peaceful life alongside his boyfriend, Shane, for the past two years. But the unannounced arrival of his older brother Joshua will set in motion events that will change them and their lives forever.

The world appraised each the moment they were born. While Walter Samson IV stands to inherit his family’s empire, Teyshawn Jones fights every day for a slim chance at a future. Neither can afford to stray from the narrow path before them, yet what each truly wants is the freedom to walk side-by-side.

Note: This story begins four-and-a-half years after Kept Boy to Made Man and seven months after Souris lands in Chicago. While it is not necessary, it is recommended you read those stories first as an introduction to the Land of Lincoln and many returning characters.

Nick Morrisey, a beloved literature professor, and Adrian Parker, a successful tech entrepreneur, appear to have everything: beauty, wealth, and a marriage that withstood time and expectation.

When Adrian’s strikingly beautiful 21-year-old son, Bobby, arrives at their beach house, old tensions ignite. Bobby’s disdain for Nick is palpable, but something darker stirs beneath it.

A sensual and heartbreaking exploration of intimacy, jealousy, and the moment love turns from sanctuary to storm.

Straight high schooler Seth begins to suddenly develop feelings for the weird boy in his class. What about Troy has him feeling a way he never has before?

Prompt #9 - Creative scene by @wildone

You run into school knowing you are late, again. You quickly stop at your locker and ditch your jacket and grab some books. As usual the halls are quiet during classes. You dash to your classroom, open the door and start on your explanation and stop. No one is there. No teacher, no other students. You leave and look at other classrooms, all empty. You check your phone and it is actually a school day and not a holiday or anything else. What's happening?
