About this listen
On his 16th birthday, just before Christmas, Holden Dunkel and his best friend, Jamie Dayton, used fake IDs to get into The Phoenix Club, a high-end gay strip club in New York City. While watching a sexy “Christmas” stage show, Holden meets a hot Santa stripper who wants to be his Secret Santa, offering him a Christmas/birthday gift he’ll never forget. After a mind-blowing rendezvous in a private booth, his secret Santa exhibits a mysterious side and invites Holden to come back on his 18th birthday, promising to reveal all his secrets.
Two years later, Holden still thinks about his Secret Santa from the Phoenix Club and wonders if he’s still there—and if so, how he would recognize him without his mask. Thoughts of the stripper are magnified when he learns the senior class is to participate in a Secret Santa assignment. Holden dreads the assignment, and even more so when he draws McKenna Peterson’s name—the head cheerleader and girlfriend of his crush, quarterback Lincoln Pratt.
For the last four years, Holden has been invisible to the quarterback, though not so much to his girlfriend and his other football buddies who never miss a chance to ruin Holden’s day. His hopes of finding acceptance among his peers are all but dashed, now that senior year is half over. It wouldn’t take much to commemorate his last four years, just a warm look or friendly "hello" from the quarterback. But since he first saw Lincoln back in freshman year, the guy never once acknowledged his existence. A few more months weren’t going to change that.
Holden doesn’t give a second thought to his own secret Santa, certain that whoever drew his name will simply opt out of the gift and never reveal their identity. He wonders if he should do the same with the cheerleader. Nothing he could give her would be received with gratitude or thanks. As the stress of the assignment builds, he finds himself thinking more and more about his secret stripper Santa, longing to be back inside the club—inside that private booth—where, for the first time in his life, he felt free to be himself, without judgment.
I will go back, Holden determines. Maybe he’s still there… maybe he will remember me.
Warning: Explicit M/M sex and sexual situations. Strong language. 18+ listeners only.

I’m never one to turn down a bet. Especially not when it comes to retaliating against the dean for pulling a dick move before summer break. So when the dean’s golden child arrives at Astor for his freshman year, my fellow troublemakers throw down a wager I can’t resist. The target: the dean’s son, John Thomas Hawthorne, or “JT”. The bet: corruption in any way I choose. It should’ve been easy. With his mess of brown curls, pouty lips, and good-boy reputation, JT is the perfect revenge. And even better? He’s straight.

Garrett Steiner loves his grandmother. Really. But when she rents a billboard in the middle of Times Square hoping to find him a husband, he isn’t so sure anymore. Bad enough everyone at the “Crossroads of the World” thinks he’s a joke—now his face is plastered all over the news. He’s already in enough trouble with the principal of his school, who isn’t thrilled to have a gay teacher. It might be two dateless years since his divorce, but no way is he going to answer any of the thousand emails he’s received.

Story
Between running a garage full of beefed-up gear-head mechanics and bailing my idiot brother out of trouble every other week, the last thing I have time for is a relationship. I’ve tried it too many times, and the ridiculous reasons I always find to end it have become a running joke around the garage. But I’ve learned my lesson. No. More. Boyfriends. I don’t care how many times Porter falls asleep drunk in my bed or how cute he looks covered in oil smears while I teach him how to fix up the vintage car he has rusting away in his garage; I’m not going to fall for him.

Story
I left him behind because I had no choice.... That's what I keep telling myself, but it doesn't make it any easier to sleep at night...or to drown out the words he kept repeating over and over the day we'd met: I just want to go home. That was eight long years ago and I'd only known him as Billy, a terrified 14-year-old I'd had to leave behind to save someone else. But his name wasn't Billy and he's no longer a frightened kid lost in a world where he was nothing more than a possession.

Story
I was born to be a protector, and Jacob was born to be mine. As a marine, I followed my gut and defied orders. I was left with a stain on my record and nowhere to go until an old friend pulled me back into the world of organized crime. Paradise Ranch is my home now, but my life is far from easy. It’s filled with dangerous men, threats to those I care for, and enemies who’d like to bring my entire operation down. I don’t have time for a relationship, but when a scared young man comes to me for help, I can’t say no. I also can’t keep my hands off him.

Flying in a floatplane to a tiny town in nowhere, Alaska, was definitely wild. At least, for me. I was a Florida boy, born and raised. But when the website I worked for tasked me with writing an article about something I'd never done before, my stupid mouth had blurted, "I've never been to Alaska!"

Story
When it comes to hockey, I'm all about the game. I've worked for years to be one of the best in the league, and l've done it without splashing my orientation all over the tabloids. My hockey image is one I've carefully cultivated, and after one night with Ezra Palaszczuk, I risk it all. He's cocky, obnoxious, and has an ego bigger than Massachusetts. And okay, maybe he's the sexiest man I've ever known. We'll never get along. Not when we sleep together. Not even when my possessive streak awakens. That doesn't stop us from falling into bed together over and over again.

I’m a SEAL. Or rather, I was. Retired at the grand old age of 38, I’m at loose ends. My best friend wants me to join his security team. I’m not sure I’m bodyguard material, but he needs someone to protect his kid brother. How hard can spoiled brat duty be? Somehow, I missed the part where former child star Danny Love went from dorky TV darling to all grown up and disturbingly attractive. All the gossip about his wild ways fails to mention that he’s trying hard to clean up his act.
