Simon Love is maybe a bit of a dick. He's smart, but he's lazy, and he doesn't know how to live without his mom's meatloaf and at least 4 different investment accounts. After graduating from college, he can't bring himself to leave the comfort of his hometown, so when the newest tech giant, TechNet, plants its HQ roots in his very own Baker, Ohio, Simon knows this must be fate.
And when TechNet brings in a local architect to draw up plans to spruce up the building, Simon can't help but notice his construction crew. More specifically, the tall twenty-something wearing a canvas tool belt, a beat-up Sox hat, and a small, heart-stopping smile that has the entire office talking.
And it seems like Simon is the only one who doesn't know why.

Aria has spent her life playing it safe. Quiet job. Quiet routine. Quiet heart. Then Gunner crashes into her world like a storm she never saw coming. He's ruthless in the ring, controlled everywhere else, and far too dangerous for a woman like her to want. But the more time Aria spends in his orbit, the more he awakens parts of her she's spent years burying--desire, courage, hunger, and a reckless need to trust the one man she probably shouldn't. Gunner knows exactly what it means to lose the people he loves. That's why he's determined to make Aria stronger. Sharper. Untouchable. Because enemies from his past are moving closer, and the threat circling him is no longer aimed at just him. It's aimed at her. As obsession turns into something deeper, Aria is pulled into a world of violence, secrets, and forbidden pleasure--where every lesson Gunner teaches her could mean survival, and every touch blurs the line between pain and need. But danger isn't always waiting in the shadows. Sometimes it comes from the past. Sometimes it wears a familiar face. And when betrayal finally strikes, Gunner and Aria may lose far more than each other.Complete

French Cup: A Neighborhood Story
Summary: In Tokyo, a neighborhood is seeing the tail lights of its local industry fading into the distance. Gentrification is moving in, replacing secretly LGBTQ owned shops and restaurants that have populated the block for decades. New developers are buying buildings and demolishing them left and right as owners can't afford inflated rent. The symbol of this erasure is a giant, modern hotel that went up three months ago. Nearby, the little coffee shop and micro live house French Cup is struggling to survive. New owners, two drag queen best friends, bought the business after their mentor and former owner of the shop passed away three years ago. Serving Starbucks dupes and fresh French pastries, it serves as a community center for the often closeted LGBTQ community to gather, offering drag hostessed Bingo nights and showcasing local and LGBTQ live acts on a small stage. When a new and handsome face shows up at French Cup, he's immediate news. The two best friends compete for his eyes at first, but when they find out he is to begin work at the new hotel monstrosity and is from the foreign corporation that built it, controversy spreads in the neighborhood. Worries launch into distress calls, and the neighborhood association is in an uproar. As more businesses fall, a Romeo and Juliet flavored love forms, and the two sides must come to a favorable conclusion or go to war.
