  Forever-young Oscar, in a present-day prison cell, tells a story from his early life. As Diver, one of the first Homo sapiens, he's the sole survivor of our people when our original home, Lake Makgadikgadi, dries up. Searching in vain for others, desperately lonely, he encounters a stranger with burning eyes, whose uncommon beauty calms Diver's fears.
  Fiery-eyed Geb is a godlike being allied with animals. At first, he's charged with orchestrating Diver's death. Nothing personal, he likes Diver, but duty comes first. For the moment, Diver is the last of our kind, and Geb is tasked with keeping it that way. 
  Before Diver outwits the prehistoric animals sent to kill him, Geb shows him their lives through the animals' own eyes. When he defeats the animals, Diver regrets their loss. This opens Geb's heart. He works to earn Diver's trust, a difficult task considering their history and Geb's spiritual constraints. 
  Courting Diver, Geb forsakes his duty and makes a big sacrifice to prove his love. Diver learns the secret of how our people might resurface, and Geb promises to always be with him. 
  In his cell, Oscar suffers a flawed romance, gives his blood for experiments, and meets a strange computer program, John Doe, struggling with amnesia. This AI being loves Oscar's story of two ancient enemies becoming lovers and saving humanity. When John remembers his lost identity, he helps Oscar escape.

  Aayan Denir knows Garrett Hillier was once a high-powered defense attorney, and—thanks to a leaked photograph—he knows Garrett is sexually submissive, which makes him ideally qualified to defend Aayan's brother from the charge of murdering his sub. Aayan would do anything to protect Syed, even if he doesn't understand how Syed could hurt someone he loves. He could never hurt Garrett. He only wants to take care of him—love him, serve him, cherish him. And maybe torture him. Just a little. 
  Garrett probably shouldn’t be dating his client’s brother. Right? And what’s the use in a confirmed sub dating a guy who doesn’t want to be a Dom anyway? The important thing is to get Syed cleared of the discriminatory murder charge he’s facing. Aayan is a distraction. But for the first time in the three lonely years since Garrett’s husband died, he’s feeling hope, ambition, and desire. Can he give up the pain he craves to find the love he needs? 
  As Syed’s trial date looms, Aayan and Garrett explore what a BDSM relationship means for them, and what they mean to each other.

  Because every epic romance deserves an epic happy ending . . .  
   
   
   
  All Charles Heppel wants is a wedding. It's not much to ask now that he's set his playboy days aside for his almost-ordained fiancé. He can't wait for a lovely, lazy beach honeymoon with His Holy Hotness to continue Hugo's education in the bedroom. 
   
   
   
  Surely this third wedding date will be the charm and won't get cancelled, will it? After all, Hugo's followed his calling almost to the end of his path to ordination. Nothing should keep him from gaining his own parish with Charles as his husband. 
   
   
   
  Hugo's calling thinks differently, demanding he leaves for the remote island of Kara-Enys without Charles. 
   
   
   
  That news should be shattering, but if Charles Heppel has one thing going for him, it's that he's relentlessly optimistic. And romantic. Most islands have beaches, don't they? He'll join Hugo to have the honeymoon first on their own version of Love Island. They can get married later! 
   
   
   
  All he needs to do is find him . . .

  Prince Wáng Mò Yǔ is the only heir left to Prince Wáng Jùnhào of Jing. His father has great affection for him, but his father's wife hates him. This is because Mò Yǔ is the son of a courtesan who became heir only after her son died, and now she plots relentlessly against both Mò Yǔ and her husband. Wáng Jùnhào is also compiling a dossier of evidence that the provincial governor has been embezzling funds and using his position for personal gain.
  When Mò Yǔ discovers a shocking secret about his father's wife, one that could lead to her execution, he thinks this secret will free him from further abuse. Then his father is murdered, and the murder weapon is found in his study.

Outside the palace, he runs into a quirky mercenary named Rèn Yǔ who knows he's more than he appears to be.

When the truth comes out, Rèn Yǔ promises to get the prince to the Censorate Investigator, but before he can, the prince is kidnapped by his enemies. Can the mercenary save the prince he loves?

  Smart and athletic, Amy Kimball should have it all, but her life's in a tailspin. She's working two menial jobs to make ends meet, barely a paycheck away from financial disaster, and women aren't exactly lining up at her door. 
   
   
   
  Enter soccer star Diego Torres, who's keeping a big secret: he's gay. His manager fears that if he's found out, his endorsements and his chance to play for the national team will evaporate into the wind. 
   
   
   
  Amy jumps at the chance to act as Diego's fake fiancée, even though it means signing her life away in a non-disclosure agreement. On the surface, the job couldn't be better: the money's great; the living accommodations are luxurious, and she gets to watch her favorite soccer team from the players' box at the stadium. 
   
   
   
  But she soon realizes that this new life is even harder to navigate than her old one. Diego's manager is as sleazy as they come, and this easy job soon turns complicated, possibly even dangerous. More important, all the lies Amy is forced to tell are starting to eat away at her soul, especially when she finds herself attracted to Casey Palmer, Diego's pretty assistant. 
   
   
   
  Will Amy find the courage to get back into the game? 
   
   
   
  Contains mature themes.
