"Brooke
Raising twins by myself wasn’t the life I pictured, but the three of us have done pretty well together. They’re in their senior year of high school now, and I’m thinking maybe I can finally get back into the dating pool.
Given that my late-husband was my high school sweetheart—my one and only—and it’s been more than twenty years, I have no idea where to start. Do I swipe right, speed date, or maybe just stand on a corner and shout forty and single, please date me?
When an associate offers a trade—my business knowledge in exchange for his hook-up expertise—I jump on the agreement far faster than I should.
But I draw the line at taking the coaching into the bedroom, especially if his best friend is joining us. This cougar knows better than to ogle the cubs nearly a decade younger than me. Don’t I?"

Carly
I love being single. I don’t answer to a significant other or any children, and I get to see the world on the company dime.
Next stop? Milan. The longer than expected layover in New York is a bit of a bummer, but the night I spend with two strangers from my flight? H.A.W.T. I don’t know which I enjoy more—the way words roll off their tongues in their incredible Italian accents, or the way they use those tongues on me.
When I reach my destination, I realize Diego and Raul are my employer’s newest investment. It’s my job to make sure their high-end restaurant opens without a hitch.
As long as I’m here, it’s not a big deal if I spend another night—or five—with them, is it?
But their five-year-old, Eloise, has a different vision for my future, and hers includes me making a long-term commitment to her daddies.
Regardless of what she thinks, when this job is over I have to go back to my life in The States and they’ll stay in Italy. Whether I like it or not."
"Kandace
Midlife crisis or midlife celebration?
I’ve been the responsible one my entire life, including raising a son by myself. With my boy growing up and moving out and me hitting my mid-forties, I’m looking toward all the things I missed out on in life. Hooking up with the hottie a decade younger than me, when I was halfway around the world in Italy, should’ve helped me scratch that let loose itch.
Instead, when I meet my brother’s new screenplay writer, I want another chance with another younger guy.
Then I realize the men know each other. Have a history with each other. Which makes me want them both even more. I don’t even know who I am anymore, but this new, adventurous me is either going to get me in extraordinary trouble, or ensure I have the time of my life.
Responsible me knows it’s time to step back and behave, but I can’t help but make exception after exception for just one more taste. When secrets come to light that could destroy all of us, I wonder how much of a mistake I made trading responsibility for fun."

"Daria
My ex taking our daughters to Disneyland is his latest way to prove Dad Rules and Mom Sucks.
While they’re riding roller coasters, I’m taking a trip of my own—a long deserved island getaway for one. And I’m letting my eldest’s swim coaches stay at my place while we’re all gone, and their apartment is fumigated.
Except a last minute work emergency means I’m stuck at home, rather than lying on a beach enjoying the view.
First time I see Colin wandering around the house shirtless, I realize the view has come to me.
First time Tanner offers me an entirely different type of vacation—the no-clothes-horizontal-grind kind—I almost cave.
But I can’t hook up with a man almost a decade younger than me, and definitely not two of them. Can I?"

"Judith
It's lonely at the top.
I knew it would be when I clawed my way up here, trading away favors and any personal life to get to where I am today, the head of the hottest new video game company in the industry.
When an old friend calls in one of those favors, I'm happy to help Xander out. His partner, Dominic, needs to impress some conservative clients, and showing up to get-to-know-you dinners with a heavily tattooed man on his arm isn't the way to do it.
And there are far worse things in the world than pretending to be Dom's fiancée.
When the fake kisses with Dominic start to feel real, I realize there's something missing in my life. Worse, I realize I never should've let Xander get away.
But if the three of us together can't clear this next level in our lives, everything we've worked for will crash around us. There's no way love is worth that kind of sacrifice."
"Fallyn
They think I'm the enemy.
The internet believes I’m the obnoxious know-it-all who breaks video games for a living on my vlog. Really, I'm painfully shy in person. There are only two men who knew the real me, and they've only ever met my avatar.
When I meet them in person I realize they’re the programmers for one of the games I’ve trashed the most. Elliot--the grumpy lead who has a secret of his own, and Link, the gentle giant who hides a gooey heart under his hard exterior. They take one look at who I really am, and it’s game over for our relationship before we even leave the load screen.
There’s a fine line between lust and hate, and it isn’t long before the three of us find ourselves in the middle of a sexy bet, built on spite and desire.
If we can’t work our way through our animosity, the delicious ways we get each other off won’t make up for our broken hearts."
"Megan
Love is supposed to be happily ever after, but I don’t buy it.
I thought I’d found my perfect guy… twice. Five years ago, I walked in on Number One with my ex-best friend. This morning, the day I was supposed to marry Number Two, I found him banging the wedding planner.
Wedding’s off, and I’m done spending so much time trying to make myself perfect for the right guy. I’m almost forty and it’s time I lived life for me.
Fortunately, my brother’s (super sexy) best friend, and the stripper from my bachelorette party, are there for me. From hot balooning to getting down and dirty in the hay, they’re happy to help me check things off my bucket list.
It’s a good thing I’ve sworn off love, or I’d find myself falling for two men again. At the same time. But I know better than to make that mistake again."
"Sonya
I'm forty years old and the people in my stories get more action than I do. I'm happiest writing fanfiction and coupling my favorite characters.
But when I see the sparks that fly between my roommate Quentin and my co-worker Jeremy, I have new favorite ship.
Hooking them up makes me realize how much I care for them, but when they discover I've been manipulating the situation, I may lose them both."
"Reese
I’ve loved Danny for as long as I can remember. As a friend. As a band mate. As more. We had a good run as a couple, but I walked away for fame. Talk about a big-time screw-up. No wonder I’m almost forty, still single, and singing in dive bars for beer tickets.
Danny
When Reese and I split, I was adrift without an anchor. I climbed into the bottom of a bottle and made myself at home. Brandon pulled me out and showed me life on the other side, enough that Reese and I could make a fresh start as a band, but not as more. Never again.
Brandon
There’s no missing the chemistry between Reese and Danny on stage. They could power a room with the sparks. But Danny’s mine. When an end of show kiss shows their chemistry never faded, I know I can’t keep them apart forever.
Is there a way the three of us could have it all, or will one of us lose everything?"
"Adrienne
I’m both terrified and thrilled to be the new artist for the hottest coming soon game in the industry–double entendre intended.
The start-up gaming company I work for likes to push boundaries, including adult ratings, no limit on in-game partners, and some moderately graphic depictions of all the different ways to get down and dirty with two or more people.
Given that I’m inching my way toward forty and my experience in the bedroom is limited to a couple of less than attentive ex-boyfriends, I’m not sure I can pull off the realistic designs that are expected of me.
Two sexy men have got my back… and my front… and every bit of me from head to toe. Because they’re going to help me work through the various positions the game is supposed to portray.
In front of a camera.
For drawing reference, of course.
And as long as I remember this is all for purely research purposes, I’ll be fine.
I can remember that, right?"
