  The challenge was supposed to be simple. Spill a drink on an airline passenger and be one square closer to winning the company's secret bingo card game. Twenty-five different challenges, at various levels of difficulty, had to be accomplished within a month's time. After nearly eight years of being a flight attendant, Alice Kaminski had spilled drinks on plenty of passengers, mostly on accident and during rough air. She didn't particularly like the idea of the bingo card, but she had massive student debt; the financial incentives were enough to make her momentarily forget the questionable ethics of it all. The challenge was supposed to be simple—that is, until Alice saw her intended target—the beautiful woman seated in 3B. And after that, nothing was simple ever again.

  The Pits demand five souls, turning men into monsters. I know this, as it took away my humanity when I was forced to kill my best friend. I lost not only him, but his sister and my lover—who can never discover the truth of her brother's death. I swore before I snapped his neck that I would find out who runs the Pits and bring them to their knees. 
   
   
   
  I become an Untouchable, working in the shadows with law enforcement. The punishment for such betrayal is death.

Even as I crave her touch, my secrets are choking me along with the marriage contract I just signed to another woman. But no matter how hard I try to stay away; Carina will always be the inescapable lure. The closer we get, the more danger we are in, until a hit on Carina forces my hand.

  They say never give up on your dreams, but what do you do when going after your biggest dream might destroy the most important relationship in your life? 
  Jax Kennedy has only ever loved one woman—his longtime best friend, Kate Owens. They’ve been inseparable since childhood, and his feelings for her have deepened with each passing year. Fortunately, his consulting job has kept him out of the city, making their friendship long-distance and allowing him to conceal his feelings through phone calls. 
  Their relationship has thrived with nightly phone calls and occasional visits. However, when Kate decides she’s tired of being single and wants to try online dating, Jax realizes that her settling down with someone else will inevitably change their relationship forever. 
  Unfortunately, Jax believes a family curse has plagued the Kennedy men, preventing them from having lasting relationships. So while he is not ready to let Kate go, he fears that pursuing her comes with too much risk. Despite being determined to avoid the Kennedy fate, he can’t help questioning everything as Kate searches for love. 
  Can Jax really take a chance on his dream when it could mean losing Kate forever?

  A housewarming party ends in tragedy. . . Steve Galanos, a native Midwesterner, reflects on his time in Northern California during the 1990s, a time when the two-digit year emerged as the Y2K problem, the burgeoning Internet fueled the expansion of the New Economy, the dot-com bubble created unseen prosperity and real estate frenzies. Yet it's a housewarming party, held in late 1999, that affects him the most. At the request of John Goertz, a group of technology managers and executives gather in a conference room. Listening to the presentation is Steve Galanos, who is suspicious of Goertz's approach and the dramatic way he describes the problem. Goertz tries to convince his audience that a disaster awaits them unless they immediately address the two-digit year in the company's distributed systems and compiled code. It's 1994, well before anyone has heard of the term, Y2K. A promotion to run the newly-created year 2000 compliance program earns John more skepticism and envy from Steve, yet the two have much in common and soon become good friends. A few years later, John leaves for a startup and their lives trend in different directions. By the time John cashes out from a successful IPO, gets married, and buys a house in Los Gatos, his friendship with Steve has waned. It's at John's housewarming party where latent animosity and lingering distrust finally come to a head.
