Barry Logan's day starts out shitty and continues to go down the
crapper. His car breaks down in the Middle of Nowhere, Colorado.
The only mechanic for miles is out of town, forcing Barry to hole
up and await his return. Bored and hungry, Barry goes to the town's
only bar in search of food and entertainment. The former is almost
inedible, but his interest in the latter is piqued when two
specimens of cowboy perfection walk in.
Barry has always had a thing for cowboys, and he's been on a
mission to get up close and personal with as many as possible
before flying home to England. Having two cowboys at the same time
would be a new experience, and one Barry is eager to try. So when
the two men leave the bar, Barry follows in hot pursuit. He
overhears them arguing about whose turn it is to bottom that night.
Without thinking, Barry offers his services.
Jimmy Pierce and Jake Wilson drive Barry back to the Double J
ranch for a night of wild passion he won't forget. The next
morning, Barry wakes in an empty bed to a beeping smoke alarm. It
seems the ranch cook quit the night before, leaving Jimmy, Jake,
and their three ranch hands to fend for themselves.
Barry immediately takes charge. His cooking meets with everyone's
approval, and he agrees to stay on both in the kitchen and in
Jimmy's and Jake's bed. The two cowboys are physically
demonstrative, both with each other as well as with Barry, who
finds himself falling fast for both of them. It's like a dream come
true -- Barry has two men and a job he loves.
But petty jealousies, rivalries, and miscommunications threaten to
shatter the dream, and when Barry's scheming ex shows up, things
get even worse. Sandwiched between two cowboy lovers, has Barry
bitten off more than he can chew?

fix their relationship?

station. Can Matt risk his heart to the man he's loved from afar

father wanting to re-establish contact. Roy entering their lives
presents further challenges, ones which ultimately threaten Simon

and become stronger, despite all the world has thrown at them?
On his first night renting a cottage on the Cornish coast, widower
John Tennant comes face to face with, of all things, a grizzly
bear. Fearing for his life, John tries to convince the animal he
isn't worth eating, and is relieved when the bear ambles away.
Maintenance man Mitch Benjamin is two hundred years old but
doesn't look a day over forty. As a werebear, he needs to stay
under the radar. The new renter is making that difficult. Not only
is John attractive, but his vulnerability triggers all of Mitch's
protective instincts. If that wasn't trouble enough, Mitch is
struggling with his inner bear's desire to befriend John. He knows
what his bear is up to, but Mitch doesn't want another mate. His
last one was murdered ninety years ago, and he's still grieving.
John is confused by Mitch's mixed signals. Physically, Mitch --

dream come true. But emotionally, he keeps closing down. John
discovers more comfort with the magnificent grizzly bear he
occasionally meets on his evening walks along the beach.
In an effort to help, Morwenna, the owner of the cottages, uses
her psychic gifts to give John a message from his dead lover,
George. Far from helping, it adds another layer of strangeness to
what's already turning out to be the strangest summer John can
remember.
Can a well-meaning medium and a determined grizzly bring John and
Mitch together? Will Mitch come clean about his werebear nature? If
he does, can John accept that a man and bear exist in the same
body?

Two men trapped in an elevator are about to discover they have more
in common than the inconvenience of lost time.
Dr. Mason Grant recognizes Parker Collins, whom he had loved
during their senior year in high school, but Parker does not
immediately recognize Mason. Maybe it's the passage of time that
has dulled his memory ... or maybe it's the wheelchair in which
Mason is confined.
As the two wait to be rescued, Mason recalls their six month love
affair -- its uncertain beginning, its athletic highs both on and
off the field, its romantic peacefulness spent at the Grant's
remote lake cabin, as well as its painful lows and horrific
conclusion.
The teenage Mason realized there were two sides to his lover --
the confident Parker, an athletic hero popular with both teammates
and female students, and the private Parker, who is unsure,
sexually submissive, and needs to be cuddled and petted. All Mason
wanted then was for Parker to love him, and not diminish what they
shared by giving in to the social pressures that demanded he play
out the role of football jock and studly lady killer.
Now that they're grown men, what happens when Parker sees past
Mason's wheelchair and realizes who's trapped in the elevator with
him?

growing friendship. Things get even more complicated when Gary,
