Jake is young, wild, and runs with his brother's bad-ass gang. But he has a secret he needs to hide. When he is saved from a rival gang by a guy with eyes blue as the summer's sky, all dressed up in an Armani suit and moves like Bruce Lee, the walls he carefully built around him start to crumble.

Silas Drake never stays in one place for very long. He has nowhere to call home and no family, at least not that he has any desire to see again. He's a homeless gay teen and just trying to survive in a small Colorado town with not much beyond his name; only his survival skills from years of scouting, his dog, Adelaide, and the small bit of supplies to get him through each day. His life is in for a change when the last person he expected to see is standing in front of him.

Chad was outed, his life in shambles. His son, Justin, was his only lifeline to happiness.
Roy had enough. His attempts to find love and happiness had failed. He decided to simply live without trying to find a companion in life.
Together, they begin to learn what it really means to be gay.

Kieran Tristan Toyne is beautiful, talented, sexy, and independently wealthy. He's used to getting what he wants, when he wants; and that includes his friend's dates, cute club boys, fast cars, and motorcycles. Unfortunately his charm and charisma doesn't work on Robin, and Kieran is not used to being denied what he wants. The road to real happiness never did run smooth...

Kelaste DeLargo-Lagrada isn't what you would call a normal person in any way. He isn't even human, but that is the least of his problems as he meets Noom, mercenary extraordinaire, and the one person standing between him and certain death.
The only question is: Who would want to kill a miserable, unimportant and alltogether broken young man, and to what purpose?

Two unnamed men - one sailor, one Captain. Two paths that brought them to this time, this place. This meeting. Will it be true love or does fate have something else in mind? After they have each endured so much pain and heartbreak, surely it is time for something to go right?

The Sailor certainly thinks so. And when you’re the sea incarnate. Well. Things tend to go your way.
