Summary: Hunger is a funny thing. It makes people act in ways they never believed they would. Gareth Cadell always believed he’d be a winner if society ever collapsed. He’s big and strong, and he knows how to handle himself. He never considered the food issue, though. When things get too dangerous in the city, he leaves, but he hadn’t realized how quickly starvation would set in. Which is why, when he comes across Kegan, he can’t allow him to keep all his food for himself. Hunger is a dangerous thing. It turns good people into unpredictable ones. Kegan Ashida never believed he’d live this long after the collapse. He’s nothing special. He’s capable of killing if he has to, but he’s more likely to take care of someone than to harm them. It doesn’t mean he’s willing to surrender. He’s worked hard to build up his pantry, and he won’t allow anyone to steal his food. Gareth doesn’t want to hurt Kegan. It’s not his fault Gareth is hungry, and if he’s being honest, he’d rather kiss him than harm him. Maybe bribing his way into Kegan’s home and heart is the better way?

Summary: Carl Walker, 35, is a man whose heart is buried beneath layers of caustic wit and earned cynicism. He sacrificed everything for the one person who mattered, and he paid the price by being cut off from his wealthy family. Now a physician’s assistant on the frontier of Mars, Carl’s only defense against the world is his spectacular ability to insult anyone who crosses his path. Ezra Nolan is his antithesis: relentlessly sunny, quick-witted, and a dozen years his junior. An ambitious former heavy machine operator, Ezra crashes into Carl’s life with a request Carl can't refuse–mentor him through his nursing training. But Ezra doesn’t shrink from Carl’s venom; he tosses insults right back, confusing the veteran PA and slowly chipping away at his defenses. Their attraction is electric, hidden beneath layers of professional protocol and biting snark. Carl is convinced he's too old, too damaged, and too much Ezra's superior to ever cross that line. Does Ezra's easy optimism conceal a deeper pain, and is Carl prepared to admit he wants the one person who sees past his fortress?

Summary: Poisoned fruit from a rotted tree...  Qylar, from disgraced House Zyven, became untouchable the second his family rightfully landed in the prison mines. While he was innocent of their crimes-and only a boy of ten-he nearly ended up suffering their fate, as well. The only thing that saved him was his best friend's intervention. He's lived his life in House Kreegl's debt ever since. Not that Cryss has ever asked for anything in return except brotherhood. For that reason, he's loyally stood at his friend's side for three decades. When Cryss met Alex and started a family on Earth, he became their fiercest protector. But standing on the sidelines and watching the love the growing family shared became an unexpected torment. No Nefyrian would ever take a fallen prince to mate, considering his family's sordid reputation. After he meets Kenji in San Francisco's iconic Eagle Bar, the little bundle of nerves in black leather calls to him like no other has before. After a lifetime of one-night stands, Qylar has finally met a man who makes him envision a tomorrow. A human might not be able to give him children, but a lifetime of love is more than enough. If the human can accept that he's secretly a tentacled, alien shifter, of course. Will a December alone with Kenji along with a little added holiday magic create a chance for Qylar to have the family he never thought possible?

Summary: Puzzle-loving, enigma-obsessed, and mystery-driven freelance Xeno-archeologist Nicholas Wells relishes voyages to lost worlds in his quest for artifacts.
