The year is 1850. The Revolutionary War has long since come to an
end and the industrial revolution is beginning to build steam,
overturning the old ways of home and hearth as it gains momentum.
In a desperate hour, in the back alleys of Boston, a group of
twelve castoff children come together to care for each other.
Plagued by the unanswered questions surrounding their past and
grief for loved ones lost, the children attempt to come to terms
with the bitter truths that have defined their life thus far.
Feeling forsaken, faced with prejudice, hostile gangs and in the
hardest winter on record, the children find themselves on the
ragged edge. Until a series of mysterious events begin taking
place, making them feel that they are not as alone and helpless as
they might have thought. Separated from his friends during a week
of successive blizzards, Joseph-the fourteen-year-old boy at the
head of this family of outcasts-becomes snowbound in a condemned
building while searching for one missing among their number. It is
during his days beset in the basement of this building that
Joseph-starved and feverish-experiences a vision of another life
lived upon a rolling green land, spurring him to do something he
has not done in a long time: believe that life can be more than
mere survival. These surreal events culminating in the arrival of a
good-hearted stranger who, while wounded himself by injustice and
loss, brings renewed hope to these children who have dreamed of
being loved.

When an angel and a demon fall for the same mortal man there is
only one solution...share him. Halloween night at the Inferno club
always draws a crowd. When Tristan spots a stunningly gorgeous man
dressed as a demon across the dance floor he sets out to draw his
attention, little realizing he has already gained the notice of
another. The demon disappears into the throng of revelers, but with
the heavenly handsome Machidiel in his arms, Tristan doesn't mind.
Even though Mac warns him they can never have more than a one-night
stand, Tristan longs to see the man who gave him the best sexual
experience of his life again. One year later, Tristan opens his
door to find Alastor, the demon from the Inferno, who claims they
have a date tonight. Alastor may be the one man who can make
Tristan forget Mac. Little does he realize Mac isn't as far from
his reach as he believes. When Mac reappears he has a proposition
for Tristan and Alastor, one that means breaking rules and
potentially getting him stripped of his wings. A menage formed
between an angel, a demon, and a human means the sex is hotter than
hell itself, but only time will tell if the relationship they have
forged together is made in Heaven or Hell."
Can an alien with no knowledge of humans or concept of sex find
lasting love with a human man? Zak, an alien from the planet
Trimmeron, is a member of a race of beings who transform into other
species during their years of puberty. It's customary for the
youngsters to be fostered to the worlds native to their new forms,
to study and learn about the races who will play an important part
in their lives. When Zak turns into a human it comes as a surprise
to everyone, for only one other before him has ever done so.
Nevertheless he is sent to Earth, a world he views as primitive and
barbaric. He arrives with a chip on his shoulder and attitude to
spare. He does not believe anyone on Earth can have anything to
teach him. When Zak meets college student Sam he soon discovers he
has a lot to learn, not only about humans, but also about himself.
Trapped on an unfamiliar world and in a strange body that seems to
have a mind of its own, Zak has no idea what is happening to him,
only that Sam seems to be the key to the strange afflictions he is
suffering from. But can an alien find love with a human being?
