Skins

When unrequited love leaves Dylan Hart sleepless and nursing his wounds, instinct draws him to the one place he's found mindless respite in the past-Lovato's. It's a place for every fantasy, where a night of insane NSA sex brings relief. It should be a perfect escape, and for one magical night it seems that way, but then worlds collide, and reality bites when Dylan's hookup desperately needs a friend. Surely Dylan can't trust his instincts when friendship has bruised his heart so badly before? The deck is stacked against former ballet dancer Angelo Giordano ever finding real love. At least visiting Lovato's offers respite from a life defined by illness; a glimmer of light in the dull gray of his so-called life without dance. But then he encounters Dylan, who makes his heart pound once more with purpose. Angelo's mind is blown by this man, but the disease that ended his career won't let him bask in new love. He's drowning, and Dylan can't save him while insecurities swamp them both. The only way to make it means confronting their demons. If Dylan can turn his back on the past, and Angelo can face his uncertain future, maybe they can chase their dreams together. Contains mature themes.

Lonely physiotherapist Harry Foster has the world at his feet. A full client list, a six figure Instagram following, and a publishing deal for a book he doesn't have time to write until his agent offers him a break-a retreat to the wild south west coast. Cornish horseman Joe Carter is lonely too. Rescuing horses and managing Whisper Farm takes up most of his days, and by night he plays chicken with the farm's perilous bank accounts. At his sister's unwelcome suggestion, he rents his only bedroom to a bloke from the city, and when Harry arrives, he's everything Joe isn't-calm, patient, and gorgeous enough to be exactly the kind of distraction Joe doesn't need. Harry doesn't have time for distractions either-even shirtless farmers riding bareback past his bedroom window-but his moody host proves impossible to ignore. On paper, they have nothing in common, but Joe is beautiful . . . glorious, and when an accident puts his life in Harry's healing hands, the whisper of true love is inevitable. If the trouble that put the farm on its knees in the first place doesn't get in the way. Contains mature themes.

Flight paramedic Rhys Foster is hooked on adrenaline. By day it's blood and guts, by night it's the thrill of the club. With a different face in his bed most nights, he doesn't have time to be lonely . . .right?

He's on a rare home visit when he encounters enigmatic Rhys in a London bar. Their connection is instant, but Rhys fast realizes Jevon's easy confidence doesn't stretch as far as the bedroom. He has no idea how mesmerizing he is-how beautiful-and Rhys resolves to show him. They grow closer, but time isn't on their side. Rhys seems unable to articulate how he feels, and with Jevon's imminent departure from the U.K. hanging over them, their separate commitments could tear them apart forever. As the days slip by, Rhys must learn to believe he's worth the happiness Jevon is offering. Contains mature themes.
