Luke Shawcross hasn't been the easiest guy for anyone to work with, and he knows it. He's a no-nonsense homicide detective on the dangerous streets of Philadelphia, and he lives behind the hard exterior he's taken years to perfect, thanks to a lifetime of feeling he's never quite measured up. Nobody knows he's gay, save for his working partner, Mikey. They have each other's backs every day on the force, and Luke feels he's the only friend he can truly trust. His liaisons with men are fleeting and singular, and Luke's policy of never agreeing to a second date is the main reason he's still single. He likes it that way. What he doesn't like is having to work for a guy like Jake DeMarco. Homicide Captain, Jake is arrogant and obnoxious, and Luke suspects he's got something to hide after he overhears a suspicious phone call. For a guy prone to fits of rage, Luke has to constantly rein in his temper. After all, he's lost it with Jake before. Thankfully, Luke gets a break. He's offered the chance to go undercover to investigate guard brutality at a local jail. It means living as a prisoner for the next twelve weeks, and it's about to be Luke's toughest ever assignment, one he's desperate to perform well on. What he doesn't bargain for is Adam Baker, the shy, genuinely helpful cellmate who inducts him into prison life and even serves to protect him. The antithesis of small, feisty Luke, Adam is tall and broad, and a true gentle giant. Luke can't believe it when he hears why Adam's in prison, and as he probes a little deeper, he comes to question not only the system he's part of, but his vow to never let anyone in.

Asher Green spent the last decade of his life fighting a monster. Not the kind found in fairytales and fantasy, with wings, horns and gnashing teeth, nor the kind that can be defeated with a simple swipe of a sword. No, Asher has been wrestling with the monster that lurks inside his father-the one that creeps from the dark crevices of his father's mind whenever he drinks. His mom died when he was twelve, and Asher's father was never the same. Ten years later, he and his fifteen-year-old sister, Stella, are taking the brunt of the rage and grief burning in their father's heart. They've learned how to handle the violent outbursts, how to protect each other, how to help one another when things get bad-but Asher realizes Stella is slipping, despite the relative stasis of their household. He flounders, completely unsure about what to do or how to help her, and he's desperate to try and protect her from the worst of their father's monster. One day at a group counseling session, Asher meets Sam and Claire. After Asher helps Claire find her footing within the group, Sam is eternally grateful, and he asks Asher to allow him to take him for a thank you drink. Asher agrees, and, to his surprise, finds himself falling for the handsome, kind man with the lazy smile. Asher finds solace in Sam, and he suddenly feels less alone, less pessimistic about his and Stella's precarious situation. But when one mistake brings their relationship to a grinding halt, Asher has to turn his focus away from Stella's issues for once and struggle with his own. Uncertain, unguided, and alone, Asher must look within himself and decide if he can open up to another and accept help-or if he'll continue on the desolate path he's been walking for years.

College graduation usually signals the beginning of independence, the end of any remnants of adolescence and childhood, and a time for embarking on new and exciting ventures. For recent graduate Dyson, it represents the opposite - confusion, uncertainty, and fear.

Chris Berry has already realized many of his dreams by the age of thirty. He's a qualified marine biologist living in New Jersey and working in New York with a great team of colleagues who feel just as passionately about their conservation work and research as he does. He's close to his parents, he's a staunch vegetarian, and he's been with his boyfriend, Haydn, for nine years. Haydn is everything Chris isn't. He's spoiled, lazy and dishonest. When Chris discovers that his long-term partner has once again cheated on him, Chris decided that enough is finally enough. He's dreamed of visiting the Hawaiian island of Makame for as long as he can remember, thanks to it being the home of the rarest turtle on the planet: the Calvert. Chris and his team have researched this elusive creature for many years and are desperately trying to raise funds to head there on a research boat when news breaks that the building of a luxury golf course in Hawaii could destroy the Calvert's habitat. Spurred on by his recent breakup and knowing time is of the essence, Chris self-funds the trip of a lifetime to Hawaii alone, hoping to find someone who'll take him out to Makame, where he might just see the creature he's spent years dreaming about. What he never factored into his plans is meeting the gorgeous Elliott Sheaffer, who offers to personally escort Chris to the island of Makame after a chance meeting at the airport. But Chris is suspicious. He knows there's more to Elliott than the handsome pilot is letting on, but Chris decides he's lived safely for too long, and decides to take Elliott up on his offer. But when a storm hits during their journey to Makame, they're instead pushed so far south that they end up on a tiny island in the middle of the Pacific. Nobody knows they're there, and supplies quickly run low. Chris isn't sure whether he'll survive the experience, let alone see the Calvert turtle, or eventually get to know Elliott's secret. The only thing he knows is that he's stranded on a desert island with the hottest guy he's ever known, and that danger doesn't always come from the places you'd most expect...
