MILLER : Lorsque Talon est parti jouer au football américain chez les pros, j'ai été surpris par le trou béant qu'il a laissé dans ma poitrine.

Maddox: La raison pour laquelle je rentre rarement chez moi se résume en quatre mots : je suis un menteur. Ai-je (faussement) avoué être gay et fui à New York comme si j'avais le feu aux fesses pour éviter d'épouser mon amour de jeunesse ? Oui. Cinq ans plus tard – après une rencontre arrosée - me voilà invité à son mariage ! Foutu karma... Et bien sûr, je suis censé venir avec mon petit ami. Petit ami qui n'existe pas, soit dit en passant. Parce que je suis hétéro (vous suivez ?). Mais ça... je n'en suis plus si sûr.

Sam used to mock me for being like a Disney Princess with my uncanny knack for finding animals in need. And being home in Colorado for the summer, I’m bound to run into him now that he runs the animal shelter where I used to volunteer. Where I used to try to get his attention every chance I had.

Alors un faux petit-ami me semblait être la solution parfaite pour que ma famille me fiche la paix. Et j'avais même trouvé le mec parfait.

To add insult to injury, Athena’s brother-in-law and guardian, the Duke of Kielder, has asked Harry to assist Athena in finding the gentleman of her dreams. But the lovesick Harry is cunning as well: as the weeks pass, he introduces Athena to suitors who are horrifically boring, alarmingly attached to their mothers, downright rude, astoundingly self-absorbed, and utterly ridiculous.

When it comes to hockey, I'm all about the game. I've worked for years to be one of the best in the league, and l've done it without splashing my orientation all over the tabloids. My hockey image is one I've carefully cultivated, and after one night with Ezra Palaszczuk, I risk it all. He's cocky, obnoxious, and has an ego bigger than Massachusetts. And okay, maybe he's the sexiest man I've ever known. We'll never get along. Not when we sleep together. Not even when my possessive streak awakens. That doesn't stop us from falling into bed together over and over again.

Otto von Bismarck was more than a politician and a leader: He was the single driving force that turned the disparate states of Germany into one cohesive empire. He then went on to lead Germany and the rest of Europe into an age of political peace that lasted from 1871 until the outbreak of World War I. Under his influence, Germany thrived. Bismarck’s use of statesmanship to fight for the interests of his country was legendary. As one of the most influential and powerful individuals in his country’s history, Bismarck became a symbol of leadership and pride for German nationalists.

When my sister moves from Chicago to Edmonton to get married, I take the opportunity to follow her. My life has become a lonely existence, only ever having time for work. The closest thing I have to a relationship is a one-sided affair with Gunner–the hottest cam boy on the app Money Shot. This move will be good. It will allow me to slow down and sort out my priorities. Maybe I’ll even have time for a real relationship with someone in person. The problem with that is, the only person to catch my eye in Canada is the commitment-phobe best man.

After our parents' accident, I vowed to pay for my brother's college, but with my mounting debt, I couldn't even afford my own life, let alone his. I needed cash. Fast. An auction. One night. No feelings. No strings attached. I just needed enough to get by until my new job started. A million dollars. A perfect, unforgettable night. It seemed like the solution to all my problems. Until I showed up for my first nanny job... and the same, deliciously hot older woman answered the door.

When Talon left to play pro ball six years ago, the hole in my chest confused me. I focused my heartache into making my own NFL dreams come true, and by the time I was drafted, the longing I had for my best friend was buried deep. Now, he wants everything to be like it was in college, but we can't have threesomes and be reckless like we once were. The media storm would be enough to break both our careers. That's not my biggest concern, though. The torch I had for him burns brighter after so long apart, and there's nothing I can do about it. Marcus Talon is straight.
