Sinopsis

Thanatos is the personification of Death itself, and has walked the Earth longer than almost any other immortal on the planet. He has met many gods, and become familiar with a number of them, including the war god Ares and the love goddess Aphrodite. They've been willing to bring him into their relationship in the past, but Thanatos is unsure of how far that favor extends. He is their friend, and occasional lover, but could they really care for someone with his reputation?
Still, Thanatos has a job to do, and he knows the weight of his duty. Though he believes himself to be quite familiar with mortals, there are still some parts of them he doesn't understand. He does know one thing for certain -- no mortal wants to die. And some are willing to do nearly anything to avoid it. 
When he is sent to apprehend King Sisyphus by Zeus, the mortal seems quite agreeable. At first. But now Thanatos has been captured, no one is dying, and some are claiming the world is better for it. Thanatos knows he can't allow this to continue, but he can't get free on his own. Will anyone be willing to rescue Death, the one thing they all fear?

    Hudson has been in a bit of a dry spell lately, spending more time with video games and fantasy novels than searching for love. Unfortunately, when his best friends invite him out to the club, he runs into his rival Tyne, who acts like the snooty king of the gayborhood and always ignores Hudson when their paths cross.
    Hudson insists he isn't jealous, just annoyed by Tyne's arrogance, though his friends might dispute that claim. So when the night goes south, Hudson decides to get out of the city. His friends rent a cabin in the woods to reconnect with nature. 
    The weekend gets off to a perfect start. A luxurious cabin with a steamy hot tub could not be further from roughing it. Then Tyne shows up unexpectedly and, to Hudson's surprise, Tyne's attention stirs something up in him. Is Tyne actually boyfriend material? 
    When Hudson receives cryptic messages from someone named GloryHole85, who invites him to a glowing glory hole that will transport him to his deepest fantasies. Will Hudson slip into the port-hole, or swallow his pride and find a way to test the waters with Tyne?

    The brilliant but brooding new doctor encounters Copper Point's sunny nurse-next-door... and nothing can stand in the way of this romance. Dr. Hong-Wei Wu has come to Copper Point, Wisconsin, after the pressures of a high-powered residency burned him out of his career before he started. Ashamed of letting his family down after all they've done for him, he plans to live a quiet life as a simple surgeon in this tiny northern town. His plans, however, don't include his outgoing, kind, and attractive surgical nurse, Simon Lane. Simon wasn't ready for the new surgeon to be a handsome charmer who keeps asking him for help getting settled and who woos him with amazing Taiwanese dishes. There's no question—Dr. Wu is flirting with him, and Simon is flirting back. The problem is, St. Ann's has a strict no-dating policy between staff, which means their romance is off the table… unless they bend the rules. But a romance that keeps them—literally—in the closet can't lead to happy ever after. Simon doesn't want to stay a secret, and Hong-Wei doesn't want to keep himself removed from life, not anymore. To secure their happiness, they'll have to change the administration's mind. But what other secrets will they uncover along the way, about Copper Point… and about each other?
