    About this series

    Verity Jones has always been true to themself; even when it meant coming out as nonbinary at a young age and losing the love of their friends and parents. Years later, Verity is ensnared in a complicated, consuming, but purely platonic relationship with their best friend Landon. When Landon's high-school sweetheart re-enters the picture, Verity finds themself alone for the first time since college.

    Content with the status quo, Aaron Hoffman finds his tight-knit circle of friends shaken up when Gregory introduces him to Landon, and Landon's roommate and business partner, Verity. From the first time they speak, Aaron is fascinated by the elusive, rose-scented person behind the bar at Rapture. Determined to know them better, Aaron focuses his attention on convincing Verity he's worth their time.

    Aaron's steadfastness and patience offer Verity the stability they're looking for, giving them both a place to explore new facets to the dynamic lifestyle they'd lived in the past. Venturing into the unknown is daunting, but to find love, Verity and Aaron will need to take the chance.

    Contains mature themes.

      At eighteen, Landon Miller was sure about two things-he was a submissive and he was going to be with Gregory Douglas for the rest of his life. That was until parents and school got in the way, and he found himself in New York, thousands of miles from the man who had learned how to take him in hand. Years later, behind the bar at Rapture, the BDSM club he's built on a foundation of disillusioned dreams and broken bricks, Landon finds himself face to face with his favorite memory and greatest regret-Gregory. Determined to recapture the magic of their first love, Gregory works to right the wrongs of their past so they can move on together. Battling through the resentment from their youth, Landon is unexpectedly called back to New York, and Gregory can't help but fear the past is repeating itself. Fighting familiar feelings of helplessness, he makes the decision to give Landon what he needs, even if that means not chasing after the man he adores . . . again. Gregory can only hope when Landon returns, he won't throw away the love they've fought and risked everything for. Contains mature themes.

After an unplanned hospitalization, Jack is forced to confront his fears about commitment and finds himself three-thousand miles from home with a shocked and stunned Callum finally in his arms. With Callum's overwhelming eagerness and Jack's fears unwilling to abate, navigating togetherness proves to be more work than they bargained for. Contains mature themes.

      Justin and Micah Townsend thought they had it all. With six happy years behind them, Keith tumbles into their world and throws the expectations for their life and their future to the wind. Keith Warren thought he'd made the right decisions. After fleeing an abusive partner and starting over in a new city, he's now getting an education about things he never knew existed. With Justin and Micah leading the way, Keith focuses his energy on being a good submissive and a deserving partner. Micah is quick to see the good Keith can bring to his marriage, but Justin is hesitant. Thinking toward the future, Justin's only concern has always been keeping Micah, and his heart, safe. His worst fears come true when Keith vanishes out of their lives, and his guard is up when he unexpectedly returns. Justin, Micah, and Keith come together once again in an explosion of desire that forces Micah to admit he wants more than his husband and requires Justin to recognize he has room in his heart for not one, but two partners. But Keith's past becomes all of their present in a shocking fight for dominance that leaves the foundation they've built together shattered. Contains mature themes.
