When the family dog trots in with my diaphragm in its mouth—in front of my date, his parents, and his adorable little girl—you would think I’d hit rock bottom.WRONG.Let’s back this up a sec…Brendan Daniels is the sexiest man alive.

He let him get away once... Now he has seven days to get him back. Fifteen years ago, Declan Barclay left for uni with plans of becoming an artist and escaping his family's heavy rule. What he didn't expect was to meet a soft and enigmatic actor in desperate need of guidance...and a friend. Declan quickly took Colin Shelby under his wing and the two were inseparable ever since. That is until the night before graduation, when lines were crossed and everything changed. Now, after years apart, Colin is back in Declan's life, but he's not alone. He's made a promise to marry someone else, and Declan only has seven days to win back the love of his life. There's just one problem: His family is counting on him to pull this wedding off at Barclay Manor. With just one week until vows are exchanged, Declan must decide--stay silent and lose Colin for good, or risk everything and ask the one who got away to promise him forever.

ChristianAs a younger man, I imagined my future with my wife by my side and my sights set firmly on British politics—with the ultimate goal of one day becoming prime minister. A life of value, of purpose. A life where my morals might mean something, and where I could make a difference.But that vision has crumbled. My wife is gone. My political career lies in ruins. And my relationship with my son is barely breathing. What’s left is a slow decline into disillusionment and solitude.Until I meet him.Asher Fox is a rainbow breaking through a storm. A diamond gleaming from the dullest stone. Being with him feels as natural as breathing, as vital as living — and I haven’t wanted to live this fiercely in a very long time.Now, when I’m offered the chance to reclaim the life I lost, I face a choice. Nothing has unfolded as I once imagined, and I never pictured a future with Asher. But maybe that’s exactly why I should hold onto him with both hands, and never let go.AsherI grew up in a world where love was conditional and God was always watching. Turns out, God didn’t like what He saw. The minute I realized I was gay, I knew I had two options: stay and suffocate, or leave and breathe. So I walked away.Now, I make art, I make porn, and I make no apologies. I’ve built a life where I get to be exactly who I am, on my own terms. No guilt. No shame. No lies. Some people judge me for it— my family certainly would if they knew — but at least I’m free, at least I’m honest. But freedom doesn’t block out the part of me that wants more: a home, a family, a place where I get to live without conditions and be loved without shame.And then I meet Christian. Mr. Buttoned-Up Politics himself. All brooding eyes and careful words, a man who looks like he’s never coloured outside the lines in his life. He’s calm where I’m chaos, steady where I’m fire, and he’s serious enough to make me want to see what he looks like when he unravels.Falling for him? Easy. Getting him to believe he deserves me? Now that’s the real work of art.

Screwing two guys? Now that's easy. But living with them? That's an entirely different story. I love my life. With the career I've always dreamed of just one phone call away, and two hot guys who have tied up my personal life in the very best of ways, what more could a girl ask for? Yet as hot and steamy as the sex is with Jack and Simon, sex alone does not a relationship make. We each have our own demons to battle, but acknowledging them can be much harder than it seems. Not having enough time to spend with the guys is wearing me down, and as much as I love being Simon's submissive, I need more from him than the occasional workout in the attic. Simon is still hung up on what happened in the past, and sometimes, I'm not sure that he has realized that Jack and I can give him everything he'd ever want. Then there is Jack-who is learning to accept us as we are, but still wears his heart on his sleeve-a constant reminder that I'm not the only one who needs so much more than we have right now. And with our track record? Let's just say that I hope that we can work this out before we end up unravelling all ties between us.
