Lindsey Hopkins lives a fairly unassuming life. Not much surprises her these days… until she sees the gorgeous new redhead at the front desk one morning. The redhead, Roenna, is cheerful, upbeat, and in just moments has burrowed so deeply into Lindsey’s brain that it’s all she can think about. Roenna seems to resist Lindsey’s efforts to get to know her better, and soon Lindsey learns that Roenna is a devout Christian, and in an office place, rumors travel fast. But Lindsey knows there’s more to the redhead than meets the eye, and she won’t give up. As she tries to warm Roenna up and get to know her better, a small spark of heat grows into a fire neither of them can contain. Passion, doubts, uncertainty, and raw need collide into a blaze of revelation… but can the fire started between Lindsey and Roenna survive being put on ice?

Sienna’s from Northern Ireland, is tall, beautiful, and has cascading jet-black hair. But the men are all out of luck as Sienna makes no bones about sharing her sexual orientation, and the men just aren’t properly equipped. When a chance occurrence has Linda and Sienna spending some time alone together, Linda begins to feel drawn to the woman. She finds herself hanging on Sienna’s every word… she can’t take her eyes off the woman’s lips. She wonders how it would feel to press her own lips against them. Linda is certain she’s just going through a phase, no doubt spurred on by her own recently-out-of-the-closet friend. This is just some weird form of transference. But the more she thinks about it, the more she can’t stop thinking about it. Office romances are out of the question, and for Linda, falling in love a woman is a completely new kind of question…

I think it's going to be weird for everyone's first time, though.' Meet Jack Rothman. He's seventeen and loves partying, makeup and boys - sometimes all at the same time. His sex life makes him the hot topic for the high school gossip machine. But who cares? Like Jack always says, 'it could be worse'. He doesn't actually expect that to come true. But after Jack starts writing an online sex advice column, the mysterious love letters he's been getting take a turn for the creepy. Jack's secret admirer knows everything: where he's hanging out, who he's sleeping with, who his mum is dating. They claim they love Jack, but not his unashamedly queer lifestyle. They want him to curb his sexuality, or they'll force him. As the pressure mounts, Jack must unmask his stalker before their obsession becomes genuinely dangerous...
