It started with a video that went viral—me proposing to my best friend in the middle of a sandy beach. The sun was bright, water glittering…
Actually, back up. It started with me tripping and landing on one knee in the sand while trying to catch a frisbee. As a joke, I asked him to marry me, and he even let me slide a makeshift ring onto his...
Forrest Grump is the most confusing man I’ve met in my life.
No, that’s not his real name, but the nickname is fitting. For reasons I may never know, he seems to dislike me on sight and purposely makes my job at the coffee shop more difficult than it needs to be. By some cruel twist of fate, he’s also my new neighbor so running into him is...
Growing up, Creed and I had been best friends. I’d thought that would never change and we’d always be inseparable.
I never expected to start thinking about how his lips would feel on mine, much less the constant ache in my chest knowing I’d never have him. I didn’t just want my best friend in bed. I was in love...

The boundaries of our friendship are tested and lines are crossed.
Four years ago, I gathered enough courage to kiss my best friend. What I’d hoped would be a pivotal moment that would start a new kind of relationship between us...
Moving to the sleepy town of Havens Hallow, Massachusetts, during my senior year hadn’t been part of my future plans.Not to mention the ancient house my father bought sits next to the creepiest place imaginable—a graveyard full of battered stone statues. It’s a far cry from the upper-middle class neighborhood we left behind.
My brother’s best friend is the biggest player on campus—both on the basketball court and between the sheets.
Not that I can blame the swarm of girls that worship Knight Jackson’s size fourteen sneaker-covered feet. I’ve been in love with him for as long as I can remember. He’s been breaking my heart for just as long.
Hooking up with your teammate may be a bad idea, but when it comes to Cannon Diaz? Worth it.
In my opinion, anyway.Cannon doesn’t seem to agree. After we hooked up at our high school graduation party, he left town the next day without so much as a goodbye.
Bummer. I was really hoping for a repeat.
Three years later, I’m shocked when the superstar...
Roman—I’m not your typical matchmaker. For one, I’m a man who’s covered in tattoos.
Despite my appearance, there’s a reason ninety-five percent of my clients seek out my services based on referrals. I’m good at what I do. But lately I’ve grown bored with the same daily routine.
Kellan—Messing around with Arsen is like playing with fire and I can’t help but crave the burn.
The day I met my best friend’s new stepbrother I fell into hate with the moody jerk. The feeling is mutual. I loathe him and unfortunately want him in equal measures. At least he seems to be suffering the same undeniable pull. He infuriates me. He’s...
Memphis: Tristan thinks I don’t notice him. He couldn’t be more wrong. What he doesn’t realize is that we’ve met before.
The second I spotted him on campus I made the decision to avoid him. Though I told myself it was the right thing to do because of our history, it was more difficult than I’d anticipated.
The straight rich jock would never date his family’s gay hired help, right?
Colton:
Crushing on the town’s star football player is a bad idea for a few reasons. One, Logan’s straight. And has a girlfriend. That alone makes anything between us impossible.
Two, living in the guesthouse with my family on his parents’ estate, I’m really just the...
The Faker Rulebook: A perfect guide to a successful fake relationship with your straight best friend.
Noah—Rook Oliveira stumbled into my life when I was eleven years old.
Being the scrawny new kid at school with a mouth full of braces, I never expected to become unlikely best friends with the most popular boy in seventh grade.
Two years ago I was in Nashville chasing the songwriter dream. Sleepless nights between day jobs were spent writing rock ballads and trying to make a name for myself.
That all changed with one phone call that forced me to return to Atlanta.
Needing consistent income to pay the mountain of debt I’d come...
Rendon: Nash is football royalty in this town and has an ego to match.
We met at a party--the last place I wanted to be. Full of confident swagger, the campus playboy approached me. It was hard to believe he was interested in me, but he was. Interested in hooking up, that is.
When things ended before they really even began, we agreed once the...
The boundaries of our friendship are tested and lines are crossed.
RUSH: I’m in love with my best friend.
There wasn’t an exact moment when I fell for him. It was something that grew and evolved over time. He loves me back, but it’ll never be more than platonic. It can’t be because he’s straight.
Then one night he kissed me and left me with more...
HAYDEN: I don’t remember a time when I didn’t love him.
The only guy I’ve ever wanted sees me as nothing more than the kid next door and his younger sister’s best friend. But when Dean comes home after college graduation, things are different. I’ve grown up, and the way his golden-brown gaze scorches a...
We never should’ve been anything more than roommates.
DREW: Life dealing me a hard blow is nothing new. What’s one more sucker punch?
When my uncle offers me a job working at his MMA training center, I jump at the chance to turn my life around...not upside down and questioning everything I know about myself.
A closed-off bartender. An outgoing college athlete. Sparks fly...but will anyone win this battle of wills?
BEARD: Oh, I want him. But it’s too risky.
My past isn’t pretty. After a disastrous incident nearly destroyed me, I rose from the ashes to reclaim my life. I may not be happy, but I’m comfortable. And I’ll never let anyone get close...
