CONTEMPORARY ROMANCE
HEADLINER
Sometimes love will rock you hard.
Following a very public—and very scandalous—breakup with his boyfriend, guitarist Jet Cooper’s musical career is on the rocks. Desperate for redemption, he reluctantly agrees to his manager’s last-ditch suggestion for a comeback. The catch? Jet must craft his next big hit with award-winning songwriter Skye Sweeting, a man known for composing love songs with lyrics just as sappy as his name implies … and although Jet does many things, sappy isn’t one of them.
What the jaded rocker doesn’t know is that Skye has seen his own fair share of heartbreak. But when one of L.A.’s infamous earthquakes leaves the two men stranded together, they’re both given the chance to overcome their mutual loathing for that dreaded four-letter word: love.
Whether or not they top the charts, the art of reinvention has never felt so good.

THE SANTAGRAM
Forget the mistletoe. To win back the man he loves, he'll have to jingle his bells instead.
Health nut Rory Townsend won’t admit it, but there are other things he’d rather be doing on a Saturday night than watching his partner, Nolan Shaw, clip his toenails and dribble ice cream down his T-shirt. In Nolan’s defense, it’s not his fault he’s in a rut: this past year has sucked—and not in the fun way.
Determined to give their relationship the shot of adrenaline it needs, Rory wants to get Nolan the perfect Christmas present. But funds are tight, so Rory gets creative and takes a side gig delivering naughty Santagrams. Sure, the outfit’s skimpy and he has to … um … jingle his bells. But Nolan’s worth it.
At least that’s what Rory thinks until he shows up at his next client's door and comes face-to-face with Nolan himself. Will a pair of skimpy red shorts and some mistletoe be enough to rescue their romance?

SHOOT AND SCORE
Sometimes finding love takes balls.
There’s nothing subtle about the way Seth Dowling, one of Boston’s most eligible bachelors, has been checking out Connor Andrews at the gym. And while Connor doesn’t mind the attention, he sees two major problems: the way Seth’s emerald eyes distract him from bringing his A game … and the fact that the arrogant jerk knows it.
For weeks, Seth has been looking for an excuse to challenge Connor to a game of one-on-one basketball. Nowadays the former-top-draft-pick-turned-accountant spends his time racking up numbers on spreadsheets instead of a scoreboard, but something tells Seth the messy-haired hottie is sure to wipe the court with him anyway.
The thing is, Seth doesn’t mind losing—especially when the trash talk turns to flirting. No matter who wins this game, they both stand to score.
