In a clash of academic focus and coastal freedom, a geology student and a surfer unearth unexpected passion between the fossil-rich cliffs and rolling waves of a picturesque college town. ***** Geology student Charlie Hill and surf-enthusiast Hazel MacDowell have little in common apart from the fact that Hazel's father is Charlie's favorite professor. After getting off on the wrong foot, Charlie and Hazel are unexpectedly thrown together on an elite, four-week internship at a paleontological dig site. Sparks fly, and soon their rivalry becomes a romance, but a closely-held secret soon puts their budding relationship to the test. Do Charlie and Hazel have what it takes to overcome the odds, or will their love turn to stone like the fossils buried in Crestwood's cliffs?

"Morning, Mr. Serious," I say now, setting his usual cup on the table. I add two sugar packets because I can't help myself. He never uses them. He never even looks at them. But I like the idea of them sitting there, taunting him with sweetness. His eyes flick up to mine - stormy gray, the kind that make you feel like you're under interrogation for a crime you don't remember committing. "You should stop doing that." His voice is low, accented, like gravel dragged across velvet. Russian maybe? Or Italian. Or both. Either way, it does unholy things to my stomach. "Doing what?" I ask innocently, sliding the sugar closer to his hand. "That." His gaze drops to the packets. "I don't take sugar." I grin, all sunshine and sass. "You don't know that. Maybe one day you'll wake up and realize life's better with a little sweetness." ●・○・●・○・● Rafael Volkov doesn't do small talk. Or smiles. Or sugar in his coffee. As the mafia's underboss, he's built a reputation on silence, sharp suits, and an expression that could curdle milk. So of course, Lila Parker makes it her mission to crack him. The sunny diner waitress insists on slipping him extra sugar packets, calling him "Mr. Serious" behind the counter, and treating him like a normal guy instead of a walking red flag. He tells her to stop. She doesn't. He growls. She grins. And suddenly, his late-night coffee runs feel less like routine and more like... something he shouldn't want. The problem? In his world, affection is dangerous. Smiles get noticed. Weaknesses get used. And if Lila isn't careful, her little act of kindness might just paint a target on her back. Rafael swore he didn't have a sweet tooth. Turns out he was wrong. ●・○・●・○・● Word Count: 37,478

Mark hasn't been on one single date for the past four and a half years. Not because he isn't attractive to the ladies.. No, it's because he's loved one single person unconditionally for the past four and a half years.. four and a half years of unrequited love.. and that's the simple (or maybe not so simple) reason for his celibacy - the handsome, deep-voiced Vincent. And the day that Vincent shows some interest in Mark is the very same day that Mark gets his heart broken in a million pieces. Six months later, and his heart's finally starting to feel something other than heartache again, he gets transferred for a two months period to the Netherlands. One day on his way home from work he meets Vincent for the first time since the heartbreak. And Vincent's a whole new man with a whole new determination. December 9th - 16th 2016 bxb/mxm/yaoi/gay.
