Acts of Service

Tom can’t catch a break when it comes to his love life. He’s not good with romance, as his exes told him in uncharitable terms, and he’s starting to wonder if there’s something wrong with him. So when he finds himself attracted to his temporary roommate, he’s afraid of being called inadequate all over again.
Alex has serious anxiety which make his life a challenge and his dating prospects slim to nonexistent. He assumes Tom isn’t interested in him because men never are. It’s a pleasant surprise to start a friends with benefits relationship, so Alex goes out on a limb in an attempt to impress Tom. When it backfires spectacularly, he thinks all hope is lost.
Both men are held back by past rejections. Will a minor crisis bring them together – or tear them apart?

Snowed In: Jude and Cal

Jude knows he’s not relationship material. The entire population of Mars made it abundantly clear he’s damaged goods, and he agrees with their assessment. His issues are why he works a remote job flying around the galaxy prospecting for metals, and why he ruthlessly quashes any feelings for Cal, his surveying partner.
Cal has been looking for an opening to suggest he and Jude could be more than friendly coworkers. When they crash on a tundra planet, the men have a lot of free time, and they put it to good use having sex. It’s fun, but Cal wants Jude as a boyfriend, not a friend with benefits.
Marooned on a hostile world, with Jude’s demons rearing their heads, Cal’s first task is to keep the two of them alive. His second is to convince Jude that, no matter how much he’s suffered, romance can still be in the cards.

Ben has a sixth sense for love. He can instantly pick out partners who will be together for life, like a modern Cupid. Unfortunately, his gift has a serious limitation: he can’t use it on himself.
Emotionally scarred by his parents’ acrimonious divorce, he doesn’t trust love he can’t sense. This drives him to bury his feelings for Isaiah, his friend with benefits, because he can’t stand the thought of losing him to a bad breakup. Then he finds out Isaiah is in love with him.
He’s used to dealing with guaranteed happily ever afters. Now he has to decide which is more important: the promise of forever, or the man he wants to spend it with.

Sex, Serendipity, and Salacia Station

After months cooped up on a spaceship, Kevin Roth is more than ready to get out and interact with people on Salacia Station. If that interaction happens to be with a hot guy and involve orgasms, even better. He's not expecting more than a hookup, because he’s on his way back to Earth.
Mick Santorino, the station's head chef, doesn't have a problem finding sex. Finding a deeper connection, on the other hand, is difficult in the outer solar system. Mechanical failures which keep Kevin on Salacia Station are a blessing in that Mick gets to spend more time with a great guy.
Despite the pull they feel, Kevin and Mick are convinced nothing more can come of their attraction aside from highly enjoyable sex. It's not like anyone meets their future husband 2.7 billion miles from Earth. Though, as the saying goes, there's a first time for everything...

$250,000 Love, part of the Lawless Anthology

If you want to succeed in the illegal gambling industry, it helps not to care about people. At least it has for Mal, who only cares for a handful of people in the world, one of whom is Evan Kourakis.

Since killing a congressman takes time, Mal whisks Evan to safety in a mafia hideaway. While they wait Evan suggests passing time with sex. The sex is great, and Mal doesn't believe in happily ever after, but he still wants more with Evan. If Mal is very lucky, Evan might make it through the crisis not just alive, but at his side.

The Dragon Keeper

Sometimes it takes a crisis to appreciate a good man.
When Aldric first meets Lito, he considers the man a nuisance. As a dragon keeper for the kingdom of Corancia, he has more important tasks than answering an artist’s numerous questions about dragons.
Lito travelled to Corancia so he could observe dragons firsthand for his paintings and he’s full of questions about the magnificent creatures. His questions aren’t merely for his art, however; they arise from his deep love of dragons. When he overhears a plot by his own kingdom to eliminate the animals, he has to choose between his loyalty and his beloved dragons.
Working to prevent the extermination of dragons throws Aldric and Lito together and lust is in the air. If they’re lucky, they might end up with more than healthy dragons. It’s just possible that happily ever exists after all.

Strange Fortune

Jake Nelson isn’t too worried when he’s taken for ransom by incompetent kidnappers. He’s a strong alpha and former military, so he’s able to affect a rescue for himself and his fellow prisoner, omega David Beecham. There’s just one problem: David bonded with him. Now Jake has to decide if he’s ready to make a lifelong commitment to a man he just met.
David Beecham was holding out for an uncommonly progressive alpha, not that it matters anymore. Bonding with Jake means he’ll never respond to any other alpha and he’s not sure which is worse, being rejected by Jake or finding out that Jake is willing to claim him but wants a completely subservient omega. Jake can walk away from this without consequence, but it’s going to determine the rest of David’s life.
It’s not what either of them planned for and has the potential to be a disaster. And yet no man knows the tides of his own fate. Could it be that their kidnapper did them a favor by bringing them together?
