But now that I'm finally out of the closet and single... I want some spice. Something or someone who's just for me. One-night stands aren't really my thing--not when I have Emma to think about.But when a night with friends throws me in the path of a gorgeous but determined flirt and eternal bachelor, I have to make a hard decision.

Too bad I can't seem to keep my hands off the man.Justin:I have three rules for dating: no co-workers, no repeats, and absolutely no kids involved. And, quite frankly, I've never even felt tempted to break them. Until Mark. The adorable, geeky accountant makes my pulse race despite my better judgment.But the guy is a father. And I know from past experience, that's a hard pass for me. So I vow to keep Mark safely in the friend zone... which turns into the friends with benefits zone... which very quickly decides to veer sharply into the zone I swore I'd never consider.The forever zone.

My name’s Archie Albright, and I know two things for certain: 1. My mum and dad kind of hate each other, and they’re not doing a great job of pretending that they don’t anymore. 2. They’re both keeping a secret from me, but I can’t figure out what. Things aren't going great for Archie Albright. His dad's acting weird, his mum too, and all he wants is for everything to go back to normal, to three months before when his parents were happy and still lived together.
