Leaving a troubled past behind, Dylan starts his first day at a new high school. He's soon wrapped up in his new life, meeting new friends and especially someone to take his mind off the things that happened. However, the past has a way of catching up, and how does he think he can get someone else out of their misery if he can't even help himself? Dylan knows he should know better than to fall for someone new, but Zach isn't just anyone. He's the guy with a face of stone and eyes as cold as a winter's night - a guy without a heart - or so it would seem... They won't like each other at all, they will hate - hate each other senseless. But perhaps that senselessness is what will get them out of their troubles once and for all.

Love is a process. ***************** Ridge 'Bear' Peskini just wanted to spend a quiet summer in his family's cabin to clear his head like he did every year. Doesn't sound like too much to ask for right? Wrong. His sister decided that it was a good idea sent her latest client, award-winning author Ulrich Feist, at the last minute to finish his latest novel in semi-solitude. It wouldn't be so bad if he wasn't a broody, temperamental man-child with an utter disdain for anything McDonald's and didn't make Ridge's heart beat so fast all the time.

BOOK ONE Coming out was supposed to set Julian free. Instead, it left him with a broken arm, a mother who won't stop preaching, and a silence that grows heavier every day. High school feels like a cage, and Julian is certain he doesn't belong anywhere-until Paul crashes into his world. With his inked skin, effortless charm, and a following that makes him untouchable, Paul should be the last person Julian lets close. But in Paul's arms, Julian feels something he's never known before: safe. As their connection deepens, so does the danger. Loving Paul means risking exposure, rejection, and heartbreak all over again. Worse, it means facing the cruelest voice of all-the one inside Julian's own head. Tender, raw, and unflinching, Open is a story about first love, first heartbreak, and finding the courage to believe you're worthy of both. ::: I could feel it when his body finally went slack, when he'd fallen asleep and soft snores emitted. And I thought I was getting better at this breaking down thing... I honestly did but when I was alone, I seemed to fall apart. Endless serenades of how worthless I'd been and how destructive I was; I was a disappointment to literally everyone and I hated it. My breathing became shallow as I cried for the second time that day, finally feeling content being immersed in guilt. A shudder wracked through my body, tears escaping and Paul pulled me closer as he woke silently. Mumbling soft nothings against my skin and kissing it to slow my breathing, he tried to lull me to sleep, "It's okay, you're okay." Refusing to speak -my voice failing me- his arm came up to wrap around my shoulder and I held him there, placing a small kiss to his tattooed skin in a broken sign of gratitude, I must've run out of tears. And I felt at ease.

Twenty-two year old nursing student Tobi Knight is thrown in a loop after esteemed fashion mogul Ms. Larissa Bijou stumbles upon him working behind the register of a cafe. Larissa is more than enthralled to discover the devastatingly handsome, adventurous, and ardent-hearted young man during her obligatory coffee break -- the 'perfect fit', as she describes him, for her newest, most daring photoshoot. She's quick to reach a perfectly manicured hand inside her leather designer bag and hand Tobi a card -- a business card for a nationally established modeling agency, Washington Models. Unmistakably, it's a job offer. Taken aback by Ms. Bijou's staggering offer (and ceaseless pleading), Tobi is hesitant. How does a devoted 'murse'-in-training (male nurse) with a knack for physical pursuits qualify as the next face for a fashion spread? Surely Tobi is aware that no amount of medical expertise or athletic endurance will grace him with the necessary aesthetics of fashion and modeling. More important, will he even get along with this 'Toni' De Luca that Ms. Larissa says will be his future partner? Who the hell is this guy anyway? And what did Tobi just get himself into? His mind is reeling with curiosity.
