Recipe for Romance – Martin Kowalski is having an early mid-life crisis. His ten-year marriage ended on an amicable note when his wife decided she needed more stability in her life. But how can you be stable when you’re a short, scrappy guy from Chicago’s South Side, who enlisted in the Army and fought in a war, only to join the FBI as soon as he came home? At heart, Martin still thinks of himself as the son of blue-collar workers, and while he had tried to be what she needed him to be, it wasn’t enough. Now, living on his own for the first time since before he went into the service, Martin is starting to think his life is too bland, and he has no idea how to spice it up.
That is, not until he meets temperamental, British-born celebrity chef Timothy Covington.
The assignment sounded easy enough. Babysit the key witness to a crime syndicate-related murder until he can give his testimony in court. But how do you contain a larger-than-life, world-renowned personality in a safe house, hiding him away from an adoring public and a string of successful restaurants and television shows? And how do you do it without wanting to wring his obnoxious neck?
Things start to heat up, and not just in the kitchen, as Martin and Timothy accept their fate. Their love of challenges soon has them getting to know each other better, and Martin starts to learn a few things about himself in addition to the delicious dishes Timothy cooks for him to pass the time. But when the assignment ends, will Martin be able to get up from the table and walk away, or is the attraction he’s feeling toward the handsome culinary genius going to leave him hungry for more?
Undercover Lover – After what seems like forever, things are finally going well for Morgan Newsted. The programming prodigy has been recruited by a huge company in the bustling city of Danbury to program financial software code, something in which he just happens to excel. At just twenty-six years old, Morgan is already earning a salary that would make almost all his friends jealous. After leaving behind his ex-partner, with whom Morgan thought he wanted a life, the man must come to grips with the fact that having the family that he now wants may not be as simple for him as the programming world. That is, until he meets Jan Van Roy, a waiter at a restaurant near the headquarters of FinaSoft Corporation.
As much as Jan likes Morgan, and he likes him a lot, he knows that being with him isn’t the right thing to do. He still needs to look after his little brother, Riley, and their ailing mother, who suffered a debilitating stroke that left her completely paralyzed when Jan only had just graduated. Part of Jan’s responsibilities as a son include not letting himself be distracted by good-looking men, no matter how much he may like one. Especially not when that person is the target of his corporate espionage.
Soon both men are faced with almost impossible choices. Morgan must decide whether this man that he barely knows could be the person he wants to settle down with. Jan must decide whether Morgan is the man he would be willing to put everything on the line for, including his very own family’s well-being, and if that is what it finally would take for him to be truly happy.
Faced with almost impossible decisions, both Jan and Morgan must decide whether to be together and, most importantly, whether they are doing it for the right reasons.
The Road Trip – College graduation usually signals the beginning of independence, the end of any remnants of adolescence and childhood, and a time for embarking on new and exciting ventures. For recent graduate Dyson, it represents the opposite – confusion, uncertainty, and fear. An artistic, anxiety-prone fellow, Dyson sees the end of college as a looming event; he waits impatiently for his best friend and secret love, Jordan, to make a decision about what his next steps are, and when he doesn’t make one, neither does Dyson.
For over nine years, Dyson and Jordan have been friends, and for nine years Dyson has harbored unrequited feelings for him. Though he knows that Jordan likes women and won’t ever love him the way he loves Jordan, he can’t bear to think of being far apart from Jordan and refuses to make a decision about his future until Jordan does. Being a laid-back, relatively calm person, Jordan isn’t too concerned about making any definite plans – that is, until the night of graduation. Running up to Dyson in an excited, drunken state, he convinces a confused Dyson to leave on a cross-country road trip the very next day, stating only that he wants to see the Grand Canyon before real life crashes down on them. Confused but willing to go, Dyson agrees and the two are on the road the next morning.
But Dyson soon realizes that being in such close proximity on such a meaningful trip with the guy he loves is much more difficult than he anticipated. And as the trip progresses, Jordan becomes secretive and Dyson becomes suspicious about the true reason for Jordan’s sudden desire to see the Grand Canyon. Will Dyson successfully wrestle with his feelings for Jordan? And will Dyson discover why the Grand Canyon is so important to Jordan – and be able to deal with the consequences?
Many Fish in the Sea – As a serial wet blanket and straight shooter, Jake was baffled by the long string of bad breakups he had experienced of the past few years. This all came to a head when his most recent girlfriend unceremoniously breaks up with him by trying to cast a curse on him (no, really). Fed up after years and years of this, no one would give him a straight answer about being wrong.
So, he assumed he had nothing to lose by going on one of the most popular reality T.V. shows in the country. If no one will tell him what was wrong to his face, the entire country would certainly do so on the internet. He would have the opportunity to learn once and for all what goes wrong between him and the women he dates and he’d get to do so while taking in the scenes on a tropical paradise. But as soon as the cameras are rolling and the microphones are on, he learns that things aren’t always what they seem when it comes to the entertainment industry.
As an eligible young bachelor on a dating show, he is one of many contestants vying for the affections of a beautiful young woman. However, Jake finds himself more drawn to the ever-mysterious Lance. Who is this man and how does he seem to know what will happen on the show before it does? Is he a plant and why does he appear to show special interest in Jake?
Jake is left to contend with all this while watching his back around likeable, but untrustworthy producers. Rounding out the menagerie of colorful characters is a charismatic ex beauty queen, baffled P.A.s, clever producers, and a curmudgeonly showrunner who is proof that there is always more than meets the eye.
Passion in Paradise – Bryan Callahan has always shared a tight bond with his little sister Rebecca. As kids growing up in Brooklyn’s Bay Ridge neighborhood, he would go out of his way to protect her from danger. And Becca, an outspoken champion for justice and a political activist, has a knack for getting into trouble while fighting for her causes. Some of Becca’s conspiracy theories can seem a bit far-fetched, but Bryan still loves her. In turn, she has been his biggest supporter since he came out as gay. Because of Becca—and following in the footsteps of their uncle, a first responder who had been on the scene during the September 11th attacks—Bryan put his early life-saving skills to work as an emergency medical technician for the FDNY.
Trouble never comes in trickles but in waves. When the family loses contact with Becca, an environmental blogger now living in Hawaii, it’s up to Bryan to investigate. He decides to take a few days off from work, and in the wake of an ugly breakup from his longtime boyfriend, he flies out to see what kind of mess Becca has managed to get herself into this time. Bryan soon realizes it goes well beyond the realm of any playground scuffle when, upon his arrival, he makes a shocking discovery: Becca is missing and her apartment has been ransacked.
Despite warnings from the local authorities, Bryan refuses to stand by and not do anything to help find his sister. He launches a personal investigation into Becca’s disappearance which puts him in contact with her friend Akoni “Koni” Hoapili, an attractive native tour guide, surfer, and part-time hula dancer. With Koni’s assistance, Bryan tries to find out what happened to Becca—but will he also wind up finding new love with the irresistible, outgoing Koni?

Will Trevor be able to learn more about this mystery man? Will he be able to overcome his growing attraction to him? Most of all, will he be able to overcome his dramatic past and learn to trust again?

And what will happen if they keep refusing to acknowledge that something real is developing between them?
