BOOK 1 – THE VIRGIN

Jonah Bennett is a virgin.

At twenty-seven, his inexperience is the most humiliating secret Jonah has. The men he’s met always want to move faster than he does, and after one particularly disastrous first date, he’s forced to turn to his best friend for help. Spencer is one of the few people Jonah trusts, but when he confesses his secret, Jonah fears their friendship may be over.

Spencer Givens is great with his hands.

An artist by trade, Spencer has always been creative with his talents and generous with his time, so offering his body to his best friend feels like a logical solution to what Jonah thinks is his biggest problem. The plan is simple—a little fooling around between friends until Jonah is ready to try dating again.

But Spencer soon realizes he doesn’t want Jonah to date other people. The more time they spend together, the deeper in love he falls. Their agreement was only meant to be temporary, and even though the threat of losing Jonah is real, Spencer is desperate to make it permanent. If you love something you’re supposed to let it go, but Spencer doesn’t think he can.

Does Jonah feel the same? Or is their friendship ruined forever?

BOOK 2 – THE JOCK

Colby Bennett is straight.

At twenty-five, he’s the middle of three boys raised by a single father. He’s always been a jock, so managing a gym feels like his calling. If only being a big brother were as easy. When Colby stumbles on his younger brother trying on feminine clothing, Taylor is angry and embarrassed. Looking for a way to make amends, Colby seeks the help of a new gym member whose eyeshadow and shimmering lips capture his attention.

Milo Kennedy is recently single.

Having broken up with his boyfriend, he’s trying to reclaim the person he used to be. Ashamed that he let someone take so much away from him, he’s determined to find himself again. The last thing he needs is another gym-bro in his life, but Colby seems sincere in his mission to help his brother and Milo can’t make himself say no.

Being around Milo has Colby questioning if he’s actually straight…or if there are things he still has left to learn about his own identity. But even though he can’t stop thinking about Milo, he knows better than to make a move. His little brother needs someone like Milo, and Colby doesn’t want to do anything to jeopardize their budding friendship.

But as Colby is exploring and embracing his sexuality, and Milo reclaiming the pieces of himself that he lost to a bad relationship, they discover they might need each other despite their reasons for hesitating. Will they learn that the best things in life are worth taking a risk for?

BOOK 3 – THE PRINCESS

Taylor Bennett wants his brother’s best friends.

Taylor is the youngest of three kids. He’s a cook, a plant dad, a devoted son, and in love with his brother’s best friend. Both of his brothers’ best friends, actually. But they’re in a relationship with each other.

Damon Acosta is a pharmacist, an extrovert, an honorary member of the Bennett family, and best friend to Jonah Bennett. He’s also a little in love with Taylor. Damon always thought Taylor was good looking, but when he started wearing sweaters and lip gloss, Damon’s attraction went through the roof. There’s only one problem. Damon is in a relationship with Nash.

Nash Weaver is a writer, a hermit apartment dweller, begrudging gym-goer, and in love with Damon. Maybe also a bit in love with Taylor. He and Damon have always been willing to open their relationship for the right person. When it’s clear that Damon is head over heels for Taylor, Nash gives them his blessing. Only it’s not long before he finds out that Taylor is also into him.

Taylor knows how important Nash and Damon are to his brothers. He’s a fool for being willing to risk it all, but Taylor has never let a little foolishness get in his way.

BOOK 4 – THE OUTCAST

Ethan Bennett is too old for Mickey.

Ethan Bennett plays guitar, barbecues, and owns a diner. He’s a widower whose life still revolves around his sons, but he wouldn’t have it any other way. When Mickey, a younger man his son had been helping shows up at the diner, cold to the bone, thin as a rail, Ethan knows he can’t send him away. He expects to help Mickey out for a while, what he doesn’t expect is the way the quiet younger man occupies his every waking moment.

Mickey Underwood has had it rough. All he’s got to show for his twenty-five years is a high school diploma, no relationship with his parents, and a long list of regrets. He should take off and forget about Ethan, but he can’t make himself leave.

Forced to face his feelings for Mickey, Ethan must deal with the fact that he never came out as bisexual. He’d been happy in his marriage, and after her death, he was too busy raising their kids. Even when his boys were all grown up, Ethan still didn’t have a lot of interest in dating. So why does he want to dust off his heart for Mickey? He doesn’t doubt his sons will support his sexuality, but will they be happy that he’s found love with someone their age?
