Sinopse

William Neilsen grew up on a farm next to The Abbey of the Falls. When his parents died in a tragic car accident while he was a teenager, the abbot agreed to offer a home to William, in exchange for him taking care of the farm, the produce from which fed the monks. The excess was to be sold in the abbey store and cheese and wine shop. William was happy living at the abbey. However, he never felt a religious calling to become a monk and the abbot never pressured him to do so.
Although he loves working in the fields and with the animals, it becomes too much for William to do alone. William asks the abbot for help and his request is answered when a young man, Samuel Drake, joins the abbey. William is confused both by his feelings for Samuel and Samuel's open and flirtatious behavior towards him. Samuel isn't like any postulant William has ever known, but he doesn't feel comfortable quizzing the young man about the nature of his calling to become a monk. 
William's discomfort and guilt intensify as his relationship with Samuel becomes more emotional and then physical. Although William hasn't taken a vow of chastity, that is Samuel's eventual goal. Or is it? Do William and Samuel have a stronger calling?

    James DiMascio, Jace for short, spends the summer getting clean at his father's house on Earth. He's been living on the street ever since the notorious drug called "Big Sug," developed by the military for bored soldiers but then smuggled to earth, has taken over his life. He's too thin, his nose is scarred from the drug's after effects, and he may have brain damage. But with the help of his father, he slowly recovers enough to visit one of the vacation planets close by: the water-based Hydro, known for its calming effects on its occupants and tourists alike, along with its dual moon system.
    On the ride over, Jace meets Julian, a scared man mourning the loss of his former professor-turned-lover. He keeps his lover's ashes next to him the entire flight, and after a disastrous attempt to bury him in the planet's ocean, Julian and Jace seek solace in one another. They rent boats and surfboards, talk to the zany regulars who inhabit the planet like the Tin Man who collects trash and the local psychic Donna, all before signing up for the big surf competition at the end of their vacation. 
    When Julian leaves unannounced, Jace is left alone and without any mojo. Can he manage to live the clean life he's worked so hard to obtain -- even if it means being alone when he returns to Earth -- or should he stay on a planet filled with oddballs and freaks that he's used to?

    Paulie Hajek has loved weddings since childhood, so naturally it makes sense that his current job is in the wedding planning business. Unfortunately, that also means he works with Van Tremaine, his boss's brother and a former bed partner who refused to commit to something permanent, like marriage. Paulie has been heartbroken for a year, but he's not giving up on happily-ever-after, though the gloss has dimmed somewhat.
    Van has a lot to prove to Paulie, whose love-tinted view of the world once struck fear in his forty-five-year-old heart and made him act like a fool. It doesn't help that Paulie catches him with an intern in a compromising position, either. 
    To prove he's changed, Van resorts to a bit of trickery which, in the end, may or may not give Paulie what he's always wanted, if he can forgive Van for being an idiot. Will he say yes?

    Some treasures are meant to be uncorked. 
    Auction director Austin Gillespie has one chance to save his career: authenticate the legendary “Lee bottles”—a cache of priceless vintage Madeira rumored to be hidden in the cellar of the decaying Georgia mansion known as Ballineen. 
    What he doesn’t expect to find is Jeff Brady. 
    Jeff is a sharp-eyed, stubbornly private PI with his own reasons for prowling Ballineen’s shadowy halls. One intoxicating night between them turns professional curiosity into something far more dangerous. Unfortunately, they want different things. Jeff doesn’t believe in love at first sight—and he certainly doesn’t believe in coming out of the closet. 
    When fraud, deception, and a suspicious death bubble to the surface, Austin discovers that not everything buried in Ballineen’s cellar is what it seems. And trusting Jeff might be the biggest gamble of all. 
    Because in Georgia, secrets age slowly… 
     and love can be as volatile as vintage wine.

    The only Jewish person at Patterson and Associates, Micah Adler grudgingly participates in the office's "secret Santa" gift exchange at Christmas. But the gift that waits for him is a little surprising -- a brand-new box of condoms, with a suggestive, unsigned note attached.
    
    
    In trying to figure out who might have sent the gift, he narrows it down to two coworkers: Brady or Jonathan. Both men are young, attractive, and single, like Micah himself, though if Micah had his choice, he'd pick Jonathan. He's harbored a not-so-secret crush on the guy ever since they met when Micah began working at the firm. But Micah knows it's a hopeless cause -- Jonathan is straight, and said as much when Micah first hit on him months ago.
    
    
    Since Brady is gay, Micah suspects the condoms and other sexually-themed presents he receives are either a gag gift from one queer to another or a blatant offer to spend the holiday with someone else. When the trio decide to go out after work on Christmas Eve, Micah thinks he'll get a chance to flirt with Brady and see where the evening might end.
    
    
    But is Brady really Micah's secret Santa? Or does Jonathan have something he wants to confess?
