So when the shy, gorgeous man is introduced as our newest employee at Vino and Veritas, I can't help but conjure up all the ridiculous ways to convince him to repeat that unforgettable night.

When my roommate-to-be opens the door wearing nothing but a wet towel, I know one thing for sure: my world is about to be turned upside down. A wrestling jock, a hottie, and as straight as a plank, Hunter is not the guy I should want. But all the shoulds and shouldn'ts fly out the window when it turns out that Hunter is actually a huge geek and not as straight as I thought. The fact that my high school crush asked me to wait for him until after college only makes my problems worse.

Vincent Lim always assumed his best friend (and occasional hookup) Austin would be waiting for him - that eventually they'd end up together. But now that Austin's in love with another man, Vinnie is at a loss. After the world's most awkward one-night stand with a dance major, Vinnie knows the drill.

Austin isn't used to having trouble focusing; models are merely challenging subjects to be rendered on paper.

I know most would probably describe me as a little uptight, unwilling to change, set in my ways… The truth is, I just like my life the way it is—simple and predictable.

At least, that's what I believed up until the day Damon Deveraux, a lively and bold little whirlwind of a man in lip gloss and short shorts, saunters into my life and changes everything.

Liam makes me feel special. Except it's all a charade. He's just making his crazy ex-girlfriend crazier. But when the door is closed and his ex isn't around to see us, are we still faking it?

One night, one time, nothing more. That's all it was supposed to be. They'd agreed their first night together would be their only night together - and Minnesota Glaciers defenseman Dylan Rylie was fine with that. Giant hickeys and claw marks on his ass had never been his style, even if the very memory of Samantha Yates' merciless sexual energy gets him hard within seconds. He needs to focus on getting a better contract, not mind-blowing orgasms.

Instead, after taking out his anger on the campus golden boy, whose dad ripped off his parents, Jack is facing possible expulsion.

Add that to the lack of retaliation by enemy alien forces, and everyone is on edge, especially when they uncover evidence of a strange alien symbol with possible links to humans, and the mystery deepens.

Minnesota Glaciers' starting defenseman Henrik Grenick is good at two things: hockey and sex. He's got it all - the career, the biceps, the babes.
