Lowen Ashleigh is a struggling writer on the brink of financial ruin when she accepts the job offer of a lifetime. Jeremy Crawford, husband of best-selling author Verity Crawford, has hired Lowen to complete the remaining books in a successful series his injured wife is unable to finish.

Five Years Earlier: Henry Dunne knows three things: that agreeing to host this raucous house party was a terrible idea, that he absolutely cannot show up to his nursing shift tomorrow with a hangover, and that the beautiful redhead in the corner will be sleeping in his bed tonight.

Ryder, Garrett, Kenzo, and Diesel - The Vipers. Their deals are as sordid as their business, and their reputation is enough to bring a grown man to his knees, forcing him to beg for mercy. They are not people you mess with, yet my dad did. The old man ran up a debt with them and then sold me to cover his losses. Yes, sold me. They own me now. I’m theirs in every sense of the word. But I’ve never been meek and compliant.

Obituary writer Nadine Barbault doesn’t mind being called “Lady Death”. It suits the ice queen persona she’s cultivated to survive the fast-paced Toronto Herald. So when Nadine learns that famous (and reclusive) author Dot Voline has died, she doesn’t hesitate to run the obituary…only to discover that Dot is very much alive. Nadine’s screw-up has brought Wesley Chen of the rival Spear no end of joy—she’s been a thorn in his extremely ambitious side for years. But the renewed interest in Dot also surfaced chatter about a mysterious past scandal.

Hockey coach Ashley Jaswal doesn't take nonsense from anyone … except her overbearing and superstitious family. They believe she's a good luck charm for her brother Jas, the newest Vancouver Canucks draft pick, forcing Ash to attend all his games as he rises up the NHL ranks, sacrificing her personal life (not that she has one—who decided hockey season needed to be 10 months long anyway?). Ash also clashes with Jas’s teammate, Canucks captain Devin Snyder.

"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 dream of him night after night. He's dressed in a tuxedo that I'm sure cost more than my first car, while I'm wearing a sparkling black gown. But there are two problems with these dreams. First, I've never seen this man before. And second—I'm a man. My first day at my new job, I'm stressed. My bills are so far past due that I know the collection agents by name. If this job doesn't work out, my gas and electric will be shut off. So I'm already on edge. Then I see him. The man from my dreams. How can this be? How have I dreamed of him when this is my first time meeting him? Over the next ...

Evan is sure his life can't get any worse. He has no friends and no family that really cares about him. And now his girlfriend just broke up with him. With everything crashing down on him, he has to get away. Thankfully, his family owns a cabin in the mountains, and he'll have it all to himself. But when he gets there, things seem different, and he discovers he's not the only one in the cabin. Who is this man? Why is he here? And why does he keep warning Evan to leave before the changes start?

It's perfect. Logan needs a babysitter, and I need cash. So of course I agree to do it. Even though it means more time with him. The man I've secretly loved for years. But I'm used to burying those feelings. I'm used to the pain. I know I can never have what I want most in life. I don't realize, though, that everything is about to change. My clothes, my body… the way Logan's gaze lingers on me when he comes home. Each change feels so right, but they all still mean nothing. We're friends. That's it. No matter what changes, his feelings never will. Will they?

I'm always the joke. Always the one people laugh at. But when my best friend invites me to one of the auctions he loves so much, I know it's my chance to impress him. He'll never think of me in the same way again. Benz is always talking about these silly auctions. He brags about all the gems he finds scattered in the junk, but I never believe him until I see the chest. It looks like it's been through so much. Traveling across oceans, wars, marriages. I just know it has a story. Spotting this will finally get Benz to respect me. But if it's so special, why am I the only one bidding? When I ...

I've known something was wrong for years, but it's not until I visit a psychic that I find out everything I know is about to end. There's always been a nagging feeling in the back of my mind, telling me that something isn't right. I've usually ignored it, but now it's getting stronger. When my doctor tells me I'm totally fine, I turn to someone I know I can trust. A psychic. She takes one look at my hand and tells me that the end is coming. She says I need to live my life before it's too late. And that night I decide to do just that. I pull on my wife's nightgown. When my wife catches me, ...

The other teachers joke that there's something magical about this classroom. That it helps you find your soulmate. Well, unless it can transform me into a woman, it won't work for me. It's my first day at my new school. My first day teaching students this young. But after years of teaching high school—and after what happened with my ex—I need a fresh start, even if it is something completely different. In fact, it's better if it is completely different. I'm not even an hour into the day when he walks to my classroom. His voice makes my heart race. And when I see him, it feels like a ...

At the first session, the therapist insists that being gay is perfectly fine. And Alex agrees. Fine for other people. But he's not gay. Not really.

"If there's one thing I believe, it's that wishes never come true. The only scary thing is letting yourself believe they might." As a child, I dreamed of being a witch—just like all the women in my family. Every year for Halloween, I dressed up as one. When I closed my eyes at night, I prayed to become one. But there was always one little problem. I was a boy, and boys couldn't grow up to become witches. When I finally realized this, my life lost its color. I lost the will to do anything except just get through. I buried myself as far from the world as I could. But just after my thirty-...

My wife wants a daughter. But we’ve tried everything. There’s just no way… I knew touring the new high school would be hard on her. Now we’re in the cafeteria, and she’s in tears. She wishes she had a daughter who could go to school here, and I wish I could give her that. But wishes don’t come true, do they? I laugh when I open the mail a week later. A letter confirming my registration? As a high school sophomore? Whatever. I’m 33 and long past graduation, so I toss it aside. But maybe I shouldn’t ignore it. Maybe I should go to the office and clear this up. Maybe I should ...
