When Ollie Kent arrives on the front steps of the Morris mansion, he’s six months out of the military and the brand-new single parent of an eight-year-old cancer survivor. Now they’re starting over back in Ollie’s hometown, where he’s lined up a job as a live-in caregiver for old man Morris.

So it’s kind of a downer when a very hungover, mostly naked man about Ollie’s age answers the door and tells him old man Morris kicked the bucket.

Tyler Morris left town at sixteen as a pariah. Since then, he’s built a good life for himself as an EMT. But even in death, his father has to get in one final screw-you: Ty can either return to his hometown and act as executor of the family fortune, or let it all go to a hate group.

Between an unexpected job offer and unexpected roommates, coming home doesn’t go the way Ty expects. But Ollie and Theo bring the cold, lonely mansion to life, and golden-boy Ollie provides good cover for the town’s scorn. The only problem is, Ty’s falling head over heels for the world’s sweetest and most stubbornly independent single dad, and if he wants to keep Ollie around, he’ll have to convince him to let Ty help.

Dans sa nouvelle équipe de hockey désastreusement mal gérée, c’est le chaos. Ryan Wright s’attend à perdre des matchs, pas son cœur.

La décontraction de Ryan devrait être un avantage à Indianapolis. Même s’il marque peu sur la glace, il aide volontiers ses coéquipiers en difficulté. Et celui qui a le plus besoin d’un ami, c’est Nico Kirschbaum, censé être la superstar de l’équipe.

Méfiant de voir arriver dans l’équipe un autre joueur gay, Nico comprend vite que la direction tente de le lui coller dans les bras. D’accord, il a un problème, mais il compte le résoudre seul en travaillant avec acharnement, pas en faisant ami-ami avec le clown de service.

Peu à peu, Ryan découvre en Nico un solitaire doué qui craque sous la pression. L’entraînement ne suffira pas à colmater les brèches de sa psyché. Malheureusement, pour convaincre Nico d’accepter son aide, Ryan doit se rapprocher de lui, jouer sur son sens de l’humour et risquer son cœur.

Nico et Ryan vont-ils tenter leur chance ou continueront-ils à gâcher les opportunités qui s’ouvrent devant eux ?

Rowan Chadha’s job as a children’s librarian might be temporary, but at least it comes with adorable, hilarious patrons. When he bumps into Jordy Shaw—NHL star and super-hot dad of one of his favorite library kids—at a charity event, he suggests they team up as a fake couple to fend off unwanted attention, never expecting the connection to last.

Jordy is in desperate need of a new nanny, and his daughter, Kaira, already adores Rowan. When Rowan’s apartment becomes uninhabitable just as his library contract ends, Jordy offers a stop gap solution: Rowan can crash in the nanny suite in his home and help with Kaira while Jordy trains for the new season—just until Rowan lands a new job and Jordy can find permanent childcare.

As the lines between fantasy and reality blur, the attraction that’s been simmering between them bubbles over, but while they’re free with their bodies, they struggle to defend their hearts, knowing their arrangement has an expiration date. After all, Rowan’s a librarian, not a nanny, and Jordy could be traded at any moment.

Their arrangement is temporary, right? Or maybe some things are worth staying for….
