Summary

Laurie Parkinson, who's lived in Laurel Hills all his life, is a gay sheet metal worker who'd rather be a gay hairdresser. Wheat Dupuis, who's also gay, is the scion of one of Laurel Hill's wealthiest families. He'd rather grow grapes than become CFO of Dupuis International.
Laurie wakes one morning to discover his family gone and his town decimated by a bacteria that has lain dormant for millennia, incased in ice. With the melting of the ice caps, the bacteria is released, and mankind faces a pandemic that could surpass the Black Plague. 
Wheat and his family are on their way to safety when the unthinkable happens and he's left behind. Laurie knows of a bunker in the woods outside Laurel Hill, where he intends to take refuge. On the way there, Laurie finds and rescues Wheat. 
Can two such dissimilar men work together through a pandemic to find their families ... and possibly find love, as well?

As a child, Morlea's handmaid wove wondrous tales to amuse her.

An evil wizard hid her away until a prince could save her, then struck the land and its people barren to prevent any attempt at rescue.
Morlea believes the story nothing more than a fantasy until, years later, she discovers a possible location for the fabled tower. Dissatisfied with palace life and looking for adventure, she decides to chase down Talitha on her own. 
A princess needs to be rescued, of course. And if there aren't any able-bodied princes up to the task, why can't another princess be the savior for once?
