Will the offer of a home be enough to heal Mack and let Charlie back into his heart—to stay, this time? Boyfriend Countdown: Milo Slowiak doesn’t do relationships, hence his little black book.

Lucius 'Lucille' Lombardi, a gorgeous drag queen is determined to change that. The plan? A few home-cooked meals, kisses, and Dinah Washington.

Paulie and the Wedding Bell Grouch: Paulie Hajek loves weddings and enjoys working for a wedding planner. What isn’t enjoyable is dealing with the wedding planner’s brother, Van Tremaine on a daily basis. Paulie’s heart was broken by Van a year ago because he wouldn’t commit to something permanent. But now, Van is up to something, and Paulie’s not sure if it will end up being everything he’s always wanted, or a disaster. The Hippie Whisperer: Carl Neilson meets his match in Ben Brooker, an artist with questionable fashion sense and a garish hairstyle. Ben calls things as he sees them, including the way Carl uses his college-aged son Chester as a crutch. The truth is hard to take, but it forces Carl to look at himself in a new way. And in the end, a willingness to find love in unexpected places might be enough, in spite of it all. A Hippie Independence Day: Carl Neilson and Benjamin “Ben” Brooker are total opposites, but they’ve made it work for over a year. Carl has made great strides in letting his son Chester live his own life, though he’s still being stubborn about getting rid of the Hawaiian shirts. This Independence Day, Ben will stop at nothing to get Carl to open up to him, and maybe make some fireworks of their own, in the process.

Love for the Holidays Box Set

Why was it that I’d treated Nelson, who was supposed to be nothing more than a very fun time, so different than all the others? Could there actually be something within me—the cynic—that saw him as potentially more? In a way that could be considered a relationship? The very thought of that made me want to find the nearest toilet and hurl, but mostly out of fear.


To distract myself, I sipped my beer and watched fine young things writhe against each other on the dance floor. I had almost decided to approach an Asian-looking dude with great cheekbones when my attention was averted by Nelson, of all people.


God, he looked so good in his painted-on jeans and curly blond hair falling into his eyes as he moved like liquid magic against the same guy from the bus the other day. He hadn’t noticed me yet, so I could watch him without his knowledge.
