Sometimes the music of love skips a beat….

Paralegal by day, musician by night, Julian has an expiration date stamped on his forehead when it comes to love. No relationship has made it past a year, so Julian avoids romance like the plague and concentrates on his music instead.

Which works fine until gorgeous, smart, and funny Zachary joins Julian’s firm. One look at the man and Julian knows he’s dangerous. No matter what, he can’t fall for Zachary. He has to spare Zachary the pain of dumping Julian at the one-year mark. His brilliant plan? Ask a straight friend to pose as his significant other to keep Zachary away. Not surprisingly, his scheme does little to dampen the attraction—on either side.

When Zachary gives Julian a second chance despite his deception, Julian thinks his curse might be broken. But then he’s faced with the impossible choice between a life with Zachary and living his dream of touring with the band….

Come salvi un uomo che sta annegando, quando l’uomo in questione sei tu?

A Jake Moore il mondo va sempre più stretto. Ogni centesimo che guadagna come saldatore se ne va per le cure del padre moribondo, un uomo violento e autoritario che è tutta la famiglia che gli rimane. Come ha promesso alla madre defunta, Jake soffoca il suo desiderio verso gli uomini, ma questo lo lascia consumato dall’oscurità.

Dallas Yates deve usare tutta la sua immaginazione per vedere le potenzialità del malconcio edificio art déco alla periferia di West Hollywood che sta trattando, ma quello che gli fa mettere la firma sul contratto è il sorriso timido del bell’artigiano che lavora dall’altro lato della strada. La loro amicizia diventa più profonda man mano che Dallas rimuove a uno a uno gli strati induriti che stanno soffocando l’anima di Jake. È facile amare l’uomo dolce e dal temperamento artistico che si nasconde dietro quella facciata rovinata, ma Dallas sa che per prima cosa bisogna che Jake impari ad amare se stesso.

Quando il mondo gli crolla intorno, Jake cerca aiuto in Dallas, l’uomo a cui ha imparato ad appoggiarsi. È solo una questione di tempo prima che si lasci andare alla deriva in una vita che non ha mai voluto, e anche se desidera qualcosa di più, il passato lo perseguita, facendogli dubitare di valere davvero l’amore che Dallas desidera così disperatamente dargli.

Seine einzige Beziehung besteht zu einem Mann, der für ihn eigentlich so weit außerhalb seiner Reichweite ist wie der Mond. Oder zumindest wie San Fransisco, wo Weber einen Zwischenstopp einlegt. Er will ihn ein letztes Mal sehen, bevor er sich mit dem einfachen, einsamen Leben abfindet, dass ein Frosch wie er seiner Meinung nach verdient hat. 

Cyrus Benning ist ein erfolgreicher Neurochirurg. Details entgehen ihm daher nie. Vom ersten Tag an hat er den Prinz in der Kleidung des gescheiterten Bullenreiters erkannt. Doch dabei zuzusehen, wie Web ihn stets auf Neue verlässt, wird immer schwerer und er ist nicht sicher, wie viel sein Herz noch ertragen kann. Jetzt hat Cyrus eine letzte Chance, Weber zu beweisen, dass es nicht dessen Job ist, der ihn zu Cyrus perfektem Mann macht, sondern Weber selbst. Mit der Hilfe der vor kurzem zerbrochenen Familie seiner Schwester ist er bereit, Weber zu zeigen, dass das Heim, das der Mann immer gesucht hat, schon immer genau hier – bei ihm – war. Cyrus hat vielleicht einmal ein Ultimatum gestellt, doch jetzt hat es sich zu einem Schwur gewandelt: Er wird Weber nie wieder aus seinem Leben lassen.
