(MxM) Carter just lost his roommate-and with him, half the rent. The two-bedroom apartment is way too quiet, way too big, and way too lonely. So he does the sensible thing: posts an ad for a new roommate... and, in a moment of sleep-deprived chaos, signs up for a local social app. That's where he meets Hayden. Hayden is smooth, flirty, and dangerously easy to fall for. Seems fitting since it's his job... as an escort. And Carter? Carter doesn't care. Not when being with Hayden feels better than being alone. So he makes a deal: if it means keeping Hayden in his life, he's willing to pay, just for the company. Just to feel seen. At the same time, a stranger offers to move in and cover the full rent. Too good to pass up, Carter says yes. What he doesn't know? His new roommate is Hayden. Just... without the charm. Without the winks. And definitely without the affection Carter's been paying for. Because Hayden was a fantasy. Jace, the man behind him-is cold, standoffish, and completely unreachable. And they live together now.

Please note: this is a story about a poly triad, three folks who fall in love - it is absolutely not a love triangle jealousy story (except literally, as they are all in love in a triangular fashion). James is a teacher at the local evening school, teaching creative writing as he tries to get his own writing published. Robbie is a student in the class, starting afresh after abandoning their family's Big Plan for their life. The two haven't seen each other in eight years, not since the night of their school prom where Robbie rejected James' heartfelt admission of love. Robbie is now out and proud as a non-binary bisexual person, and ready to see if those feelings have persisted. Tension begins to bubble as James gets flustered over Robbie's new life, while Robbie tries to cheekily make up for past mistakes. There's just one problem; James' long-term partner, Fraser. Robbie curses their bad luck - of all the men in the world, James had to pick an attractive, charming, attentive, wonderful boyfriend. But when Fraser indicates that he's open to something a little more *open*, Robbie and James are intrigued. Neither of them had ever considered something outside monogamy, but it certainly sounds interesting... Will Robbie be able to clear their head and figure out their feelings for the two? Will James be able to let Robbie back into his life? Will Fraser welcome Robbie fully into their relationship? Join these three adorable cinnamon rolls as they navigate a beautiful poly relationship together. MATURE BOOK: this book is SPICY and by spicy, I mean I whacked an entire spice rack into it. There will be SO much spice.
