Summary

The toxic atmosphere that once forced what remains of humanity below ground and made many of them infertile has, after ninety generations, become hospitable. Those strong enough, Settlers, venture Above to aid the survival of the citizens in the Sanctuaries Below.
Trained to become a Settler since childhood, Graham's dream of living Above with his lover Cole is shattered when his medical test comes back with damning results: he is fertile. With the human race close to extinction, Graham is duty-bound to breed, forcing him and Cole apart. 
Misery is followed by fleeting happiness once Graham and his assigned partner's daughter is born. But loss and grief, hatred and resentment soon follow, leaving all of them uncertain of what their futures hold. 
Will he and Cole get the chance to live the life they want together, or will they be kept apart until Graham fulfils his duty?

In this new universe, Callum has to survive the creatures that live there, such as vampires, shifters, werewolves, you name it. But there's more to Callum than meets the eye.

Beauregard Stone lives a life of solitude in the snow-blanketed town of Windeville, Maine. The burly lumberjack is a man of few words and even fewer smiles. He hasn't spoken much since his husband died eight years ago. Now, each day bleeds into the next as Stone loses himself in his woodshop and lumber-hauling business. 
 
 
 
But when Royal Peterson, a burnt-out corporate finance executive from Manhattan, stumbles into Windeville, everything changes. 
 
 
 
Stone isn't the kind of man who fawns over the strangers who wander into town, especially not ones who look like Royal. Stone's too rough around the edges, convinced he's too old, too grizzled, too broken for someone as young and gorgeous as Royal. But when he sees the same sadness in Royal's warm brown eyes that's reflected in his own, Stone's defenses begin to crumble. 
 
 
 
As their paths continue to cross in unexpected ways, Stone and Royal start to realize healing and loving aren't always as complicated as they seem. But just as their bond begins to grow, Royal faces a difficult choice: does he stay in Windeville, or does he return to his fast-paced life, leaving Stone to face the cold, lonely winter nights once again?

Dean, a struggling financial analyst from New York City, embarks on a vacation to Cape Cod to get away from the daily grind. Right from the start, the vacation seems to be a disappointment. At first he doesn't meet anybody interesting, and then, to make matters worse, the wrong kind of person. When a group of guys invite him to join them at a local bar, Dean's luck -- and possibly his future -- changes immediately.
Dynamic Marco, a travel planner from Boston, doesn't take no for an answer. With his charming Italian looks and compelling character, he pursues Dean and quickly wins him over. They spend the rest of Dean's vacation together, but Marco wants more. 
Too soon, Dean's vacation comes to an end. Both Dean and Marco are determined to continue their dalliance, but the odds are stacked against them, and they are left with all the challenges of a long-distance romance. 
As both men are equally committed to their jobs, will they be able to overcome the distance and differences separating them, especially when Dean starts to have doubts about Marco's carefree lifestyle? Do they have a future together?
