It usually took more than a pretty face and a tight skirt for Caleb Joyner to take a case. But when it’s your first love coming back for seconds it’s hard for a private eye to say no. Joyner soon finds himself on the trail of a wayward husband, slithering through the sun-baked streets of the Silicon Valley. Along the way he finds a decomposing body that leads him to confront a gang of killers. Then a real sweetheart of a girl with an outrageous body and an ax to grind comes to his aid. If only he could figure out if she is a friend or a murderess in disguise.All Rights Reserved

The Naughty List | MxM by ElijahDiva

Once Caleb reached the bottom of the stairs he quietly opened the door and tiredly switched on the light "Jayden it isn't morning yet buddy you need to-" he froze in place staring at a man he didn't know standing in his living room. The man stared back at him like a deer in the headlights, he looked a few years older than Caleb, had stubble growing around his face, dark brown greasy hair that wasn't styled in any particular way and was wearing full black aside from the muddy navy blue trainers he was sporting. "Who the fuck are you and what are you doing here?" Caleb demanded in a hushed whisper, he also noticed the black backpack the stranger was carrying and the open living room window he'd clearly used to gain entry, the vase that was previously rested on the windowsill lay in pieces on the ground, that must've been the crash that had awoken Caleb from his tranquil slumber. "Just a passerby, no one much" the strange man whispered back an air of mystery hanging about his every word. "Inside my living room?" Caleb replied folding his arms and sizing the man up, after his beating earlier in the evening he wasn't exactly fighting fit, the intruder was also taller and muscly, there's no way Caleb would win if it came to a fight. "Consider me Santa Claus alright? Now go back to bed kid" the man answered calmly pointing at the door as if Caleb was a child. "I'm not a little kid anymore, I'm 18. Santa isn't real" Caleb responded harshly taking a step forward, the man noticeably took a step towards the window eyeing Caleb up with a smirk.

All it takes is one drunken night of vulnerability and passion between Kylie and Elijah to highlight the many problems in his relationship with Jess. The two begin a sordid affair at the expense of all those around them, and as all three of their lives begin to spiral out of control, it seems that it's not only Kylie and Elijah who are keeping secrets.
