Joe

Tim Mead

Sinossi

Joe Hill thinks of himself as an ordinary guy with an appropriately ordinary sort of name. He discovers that some other Colby residents think he's extraordinarily good looking, many likening him to Clark Kent. Joe's newfound popularity goes to his head and he has a number of brief flings with various men around town.
Joe eventually begins to wonder if settling down with one special man would give him a greater sense of contentment. He sees the happiness his boss and a couple of his work colleagues enjoy with their respective same-sex partners, However, who would have him? He only spent one semester at college, and up until a recent promotion, Joe was employed mowing lawns and landscaping yards.
After offering to paint his landlady's hallway, Joe goes to Home Depot for supplies. He has no idea what equipment he needs but a stranger helps him out. Joe is intrigued and turned on by the man but knows he probably won't ever see him again. However, a couple of weeks later Joe see's the stranger having dinner with his boss. Later still, Joe is invited to his boss's house and he's introduced to the stranger. Micah Sutton creates custom-made pieces of furniture. Joe is impressed by both the man and his woodworking talents.
Following a tentative start to their friendship, both men start to feel inferior to the other. Micah thinks he's plain looking in comparison to Joe, and Joe believes a man with the skills that Micah possesses wouldn't be interested in someone who spends his days ordering garden supplies in an office.
Is Micah's and Joe's relationship doomed from the start, or will they each wake up in time to smell the varnish/fertilizer to see they're both exactly what the other needs?

Aiden and Tristan

Ofelia Gränd

Daring a snowstorm might not be the smartest thing Aiden Evans has ever done, but he can't stand being in his flat a moment longer. With only three days to Christmas, he doesn't want to be alone. He wants a place to belong, wants people around him who won't look down on him. He might not find that at his mother's place, but it's better than being alone in the city. If he can make it there, that is.
Tristan Gardner is looking forward to a quiet night in front of the TV, but instead, he has to save an idiot in designer clothes from freezing to death in his forest. Tristan tries not to notice the man's good looks, just like he has tried not to notice any man's good looks for the last seven years. He knows where relationships go and is far better off living alone, with his dog, in his cabin. 
Aiden is driving Tristan mad with his bratty comments and irresponsible ways, and Aiden is going crazy from Tristan's judgmental attitude. Luckily, in a few days, the weather will clear up, and the two men won't have to be together any longer. But will a few steamy nights with the grumpy lumberjack change Aiden's mind about wanting to leave? And will Tristan still want to go back to his peaceful, predictable life without fear of getting his heart broken?

While battling to save his family's ranch, Baker finds himself falling for a man as unrestrained as the Oklahoma winds. 
For as long as he can recall, Baker Bastian has been the backbone of Bastian Acres Ranch. He's carried a heavy load, trying his best to keep his family legacy from being swallowed up by corporate farming while battling a fondness for the bottle, a messy divorce, and a grandmother who's set on becoming the next Annie Oakley if she could just get a gun that shoots straight. It's not been an easy road. Now, with his worthless philandering father's death, the deed to the ranch is to be split four ways with three half-brothers he never wanted to get to know better. 
As the ranch is tossed into chaos, Baker is driven to open the gates to strangers, and not just his brothers and their traveling companions. In order to turn a buck, the once proud owner of prime cattle is reduced to calling his farming legacy a guest ranch. The first client to show up is Hanley Welsh, a world-renowned wildlife photographer. Baker should be too busy to notice how rugged Hanley is, or how his eyes crinkle with his easy smile, or how well his jeans fit, but notice he does. Will Baker's lonely existence end with the arrival of a man who carries the song of the indigo bunting in his heart?

Something in the Wine is a story about love, friendship, and coming to terms with what it means to be yourself.
