Den Job zu verlieren, ist manchmal das Beste, was einem passieren kann.

Als sich Elliot ohne einen Job und Plan für die Zukunft wiederfindet, denkt er, dass das Universum vielleicht versucht, ihm etwas zu sagen. Glücklicherweise ist der Vater seines besten Freundes mit Ratschlägen und Pancakes mit Schlagsahne zur Stelle, um alles besser zu machen. Womit James ihm allerdings nicht helfen kann, sind Elliots Gefühle und seine Sehnsucht, mit dem liebevollen Mann mehr als nur befreundet zu sein – dem Mann, von dem Elliot weiß, dass er der perfekte Daddy sein würde.

James war immer so vorsichtig, die Beziehung zum besten Freund seines Sohnes unschuldig und rein freundschaftlich zu halten, auch wenn der süße Kerl mit den großen Augen alles ist, was er sich von einem Mann wünscht … und vielleicht auch alles, was er sich von einem Sub wünscht. Aber als ein zufällig mitgehörtes Gespräch zwischen den beiden besten Freunden alles verändert, muss James entscheiden, ob er bereit ist, für den süßesten Sub, den er je getroffen hat, alles aufs Spiel zu setzen.

Keeping a roof over his family’s heads has been Landon’s only goal for years. Hard work and multiple jobs kept them afloat, but it didn’t leave much time for self-reflection or a social life. Now that their finances are secure and he can finally have a life of his own, he’s left wondering one thing…now what?

The solemn young man with the tattoos and temptingly placed jewelry might not know what he wants, or even if he’s a sub, but something about him pulls at Porter.

With his world in limbo after the sale of his business, Porter isn’t sure what to do next. For years, building his company was the only thing on his mind, but now, when all he has left is an empty life and too much time on his hands, Porter is left wondering one thing…now what?

When two men come to a crossroads, they’ll have to come together to finally discover what they were really meant to find in life…love.

Sometimes losing your job is the best thing that can happen.

When Elliot’s left without a job or a plan for what should come next, he thinks the universe might be trying to tell him something. Luckily, his best friend’s father is right there with advice and whipped cream-topped pancakes to make everything better. But what James can’t help with are Elliot’s feelings and the way he longs to be more than friends with the tender man—the man who Elliot knows would make the perfect Daddy.

James has been careful to keep his relationship with his son’s best friend innocent and friendly, nothing more, even if the wide-eyed cutie is everything he wants in a man…and possibly everything he wants in a sub. But when an overheard conversation between the two best friends changes everything, James has to decide if he’s ready to put it all on the line for the sweetest sub he’s ever met.

Flirting with his friend’s father was supposed to be just fun and games for Derek, but what happens when teasing leads to unexpected questions and some surprising curiosity?

Derek has known the unflappable Sean for years and nothing ever gets a reaction out of the attractive older man. Nothing, that is, until Derek senses some unexpected curiosity from the man he always thought was straight. But who better than an adventurous switch to help Sean explore his wild side?

Sean knows better than to take Derek’s teasing seriously. There’s a reason he’s always called the impetuous younger man “the pest.” But when Derek’s playful banter leads to some interesting reactions, Sean has to decide what’s more important…hiding behind what he’s always assumed or finally getting to discover who he really was all along.

Nick knew what he wanted, he just thought it was crazy and a little messed up—Okay, a lot messed up.

Everyone knew bullying was wrong. Some deep part of Nick just hadn’t gotten the message. Each time Kyle approached him in school and called him a name or made him feel short and weak it should have made Nick feel terrible. It didn’t. It made his knees shake and sent shameful butterflies racing around in his stomach.

Kyle knew what he wanted—Nick. No second-guessing. No hesitating.

Everyone knew bullying was wrong, but Nick was the only person in school Kyle ever wanted to torment. Something about the way the sexy guy reacted made Kyle desperate. Desperate to touch him…to torment him…to take him…

Houston knows who he is…but most men don’t seem to understand.

A Dom who likes wearing panties and lace isn’t what most submissives expect when they look at Houston. Broad, strong Doms are supposed to look intimidating in leather, not sexy in leather and lace. When long looks and a curious encounter with his new roommate make Houston think there might be some interest from Reece, he isn’t sure what to do. Reece is straight, isn’t he?

Reece knows who he is…but most men don’t seem to understand.

Reece has known he was bi for a long time, but the Doms he’s met don’t seem to be able to accept that. When his new roommate makes Reece’s submissive side want to roll over and beg for a spanking, he’s not sure what to do. Houston gives orders like a seasoned Dom, but is taking a chance worth the possibility of embarrassing himself and being asked to leave?

When two stubborn men both refuse to acknowledge what’s right in front of them, it might take a push to get them to see the truth.
