"That's where my talent really lies. I can see who people truly are. Under all the layers of pretend they use to hide themselves." It's just a silly costume. I have to pretend to be a woman for a few hours at the party. Just a dress and heels. It's definitely a blow to my manly ego, but I'll survive. But then he comes up to me. I have no idea who he is, but when he touches me, something changes. And even though I tell him I'm actually a man—that I'm not gay—I wonder if that's really true. Could it be that he knows something about me that I don't even know?

I never imagined one ride would transform my life. After struggling for years, I finally have one shot. One chance to prove myself. But when my car sputters and dies 2000 miles from where I need to be, my dream might as well be dead too. I walk inside the lonely bar, hoping to find a mechanic. Instead I find him. The man behind the bar who makes my breath stop every time I look at him. The man who sees the real me. The man who will take me places I only fantasized about. When he offers to drive me across the country, I should know there's a catch. When he hands me that little pink bag, I ...

“Is this your makeup in the bathroom?” My heart stops. I deny it. But she knows it’s mine. I've asked her out so many times, but each time she's told me no. Until now. After our dinner, I press my luck. Maybe just one drink back at my apartment? It's my only shot. And now it’s over because I didn’t hide my makeup. She’s going to storm out, and I’ll never see her again. But she doesn’t leave. She goes to my bedroom. When she comes out, she’s holding a dress. My dress. “I want you to wear this for me.” My mouth is dry, and my whole body is trembling. I can’t do this. I...

I'm at rock bottom. I have no job, and I found my girlfriend cheating on me in our own bed. Even after kicking her out, everything in the apartment still reminds me of her, and I swear I'll never make the mistake of falling in love again. When I find out about the house I've inherited, I don't hesitate to leave everything in the city behind. It's finally my chance to start over. A chance to build a whole new life from scratch. But Aunt Nora's house isn't as nice as I remember. In fact, it's almost unlivable. But it's all I have, so I'm determined to fix it up. No matter what. As I slowly ...

Parker knew her life would change when she came out as a trans woman. But she never expected to be forced into an arranged marriage. Years ago, her parents made a deal with a crime family — the hand of their first-born daughter for the money to expand their business. They were a young couple. Already with one child, and a daughter on the way. But when that pregnancy ended in miscarriage — when they could never conceive again — it seemed they would never fulfill their end of the bargain. That changed when Parker told them her secret. Now, Parker is being forced to go on a date with a ...
