Summary

Marius Rabineaux lives with his daughter Sherie in an apartment complex. Across the hall is computer tech Xavier McDay, whose niece, Tonya, is best friends with Sherie. Taciturn, clueless nerds have never been Marius's thing, so no matter how hot he may find 'Uncle Cranky,' Marius leaves well enough alone.
One evening when Marius picks up Sherie from her playdate with Tonya, Xavier insults his parenting skills. Later, Xavier turns up at Marius' workplace and, instead of apologizing, further offends him by disparaging his work ethic. 
Xavier finally gets it and apologizes to Marius, who decides to give his clueless neighbor another chance. He accepts Xavier's offer inviting him and Sherie to dinner. The evening is a fun affair, and while the girls have dessert in Tonya's room, both men get to know each other better. 
Then Marius challenges Xavier to a night away from computers by going out to a night club. One thing leads to another, and they wind up back at Xavier's apartment. As things crank up between them, will they get more than they bargain for ... and perhaps a chance at something more?

    Doren was born with a powerful gift -- a gift he's managed to use to put him well on his way to becoming a star. But there is more to that gift than just musical talent, and as careful as Doren is to hide that fact, there are some who know of the power behind the sound, and all the ways they could abuse it.
    
    
    August's goal in life is simple: make an impact in the music industry. An opportunity to work as the personal assistant to Doren seems to be exactly the kind of break he needs to accomplish that goal.
    
    
    But all too often in life, simple becomes just another complication, especially when there are people whose goal is even simpler: destroy and dominate.

    Can a kiss really change everything?
    Having made a very successful film together, friends and actors, Nick and Alex have to decide whether to take on another joint venture or go their separate ways creatively. Then the perfect manuscript arrives, offering financial security and the opportunity to one day run their own production company. 
    The film is Nick's dream, incorporating amazing effects, a wonderful script, a character every actor aspires to play with the director everyone's begging to work with. There's one snag: Nick and Alex will have to get rather personal on set. 
    Nick has to refuse but much to his surprise, Alex isn't willing to take no for an answer. Nick eventually agrees, despite a nosy reporter and his brother turning against him. After all, it's just pretence. It's not as if he's gay and wants to make out with his friend ... not until Alex kisses him. Then it really gets interesting.

    ADRIAN POWELL has a secret, a secret he’s guarded for 17 years. But it’s come at a cost—few friends, fewer lovers and a lifetime of loneliness. If he’s a bit grumpy and a tad pessimistic, who can blame him? So, exactly how he’s ended up with a bunch of nosy friends, a beautiful lakeside cottage and a successful business, is beyond him.  
    It’s a life he never imagined, and one that includes a problematic new neighbour, NIALL CARMICHAEL—an irritating, equally grumpy, sexy as hell silver fox, who kisses like a dream, shakes every one of Adrian’s walls, and who might just prove Adrian’s undoing.  
    But secrets have a way of catching up with you. And when Adrian’s past comes knocking, it might just threaten everything he’s built.
