High Rise

Lies and deception kept them apart, but the truth might kill any hope for a future. Twenty years after hitchhiking from Atlanta to DC, Solomon Mitchell has a peaceful life, volunteering at an LGBTQ Youth Center and directing the kids' choir at church. He accepts his life of solitude and his small circle of friends, and he's fine-fine!-keeping it that way. When the pastor asks to see him after a performance, he thinks nothing of it-until he sees the childhood he escaped staring at him in the shape of his high-school sweetheart, Isaac Jenkins. Who was supposed to be with him, but never made it to their rendezvous. Running again is the easy answer. Staying and fighting is way harder. But man, could Isaac make fighting worth it. Isaac, his church's youth pastor, is on a tour to DC, ostensibly to learn how various congregations have retained or grown their memberships. He already has low expectations and somehow, his bar is still too high. When a friend suggests visiting a church not on his list, it's his cue to go beyond the rigid confines he's always lived and worked in. His world spins when he finds Solomon, his first love, literally the one that got away, leading the choir. Isaac still bears a weight of guilt about their separation, and this may be his one chance to make things right. He's not leaving without trying. Isaac's church leaders want him back home and give him two options: return and forget about Solomon, or defy them and watch everything he thought he knew disintegrate.

Jeremiah Stewart's sexuality is no one's business. Not that he's hiding it. When-if-he finds the right one, he'll absolutely introduce him to Mom. But a late-night brush with a sexy stranger in too much lip gloss has him rethinking nearly everything... To Collin Galloway, direction is a four-letter word. Sure, he hates his job, he hates living with his parents and he really hates watching everyone move on without him. But he doesn't know what he wants to do, long-term, and he won't figure it out by thirsting over Jeremiah, the superhot, super intense paramedic who is suddenly everywhere Collin looks. When Jeremiah's faced with losing all he's worked so hard to build, he reluctantly accepts Collin's help. They're both determined to stay professional...which works about as well as either would imagine. But Collin only does closets with clothes, and Jeremiah has to decide if he's finally found the one worth bringing home to Mom.

After a week filled with nonstop work, André Ellison heads to the club to blow off some steam. One night off is the perfect distraction from the project that’s about to make his career—or tank it completely. A few drinks in and he leaves with a smoking-hot stranger for some scorching, burn-the-sheets-up sex. Marcus Thompson is going places, so he can’t think of a bigger waste of time than being put on loan to a two-bit firm to prepare some small-time report. The last thing he wants—or needs—is his impeccably dressed, hot-as-hell one-night stand as his boss. As they work side by side, their attraction grows to a fever pitch, but there will be no kissing, no touching and absolutely no sex until the project is over—if they can wait that long.
