“Sometimes to be happy you have to...break out of the box.”

​

Lachlan Meran is a high school student about to graduate and find his way in the world. He thinks his life is set on its course and all he has to do is make a few decisions to keep it on track. That is until a betrayal causes his life to take a different turn.

When his best friend Konnor is added to the equation, will Lachlan be forced to choose between his best friend and what could be the ultimate love of his life, his 1st boyfriend?

“Ignorance is bliss...the truth is terrifying.”

​

It's been three years since Konnor lost Lachlan as a best friend. They still don't talk and Konnor has let his wild side out during college. Now, after three years at college, the six-month new student Grayson is his new best friend. Konnor is crazy about Grayson, while Grayson thinks he's as straight as a ruler and only wants to stay friends.

But Konnor is determined: he won't lose another best friend to his secrets. What will happen when Konnor tries playing dirty? Will Grayson fall for his direct, unashamed flirtations or will they prove to be too much for the straight-laced newbie?

“Even bad boys can get their hearts broken.”

​

Tam's done everything he can to forget about Konnor and their disastrous relationship. His new boyfriend, Giovanni, has helped with that. But six months into their relationship, he discovers that he's fallen into the same trap all over again.

Beaten, broken and falling to pieces emotionally, Tam wonders if there's any point in going on. A pair of copper eyes and a gentle smile rescue him, in his darkest hour, giving him a ray of hope. But then he discovers that this beautiful boy is related to Grayson, the new boyfriend of his ex.

Finally finding 'the one' in an unusually compassionate stranger, what possible future can they have, when Tam knows that Konnor will do all in his power to keep him far from the Dashwood boy?

“Underneath it all, he just wants to be normal.”

After being diagnosed as schizophrenic, Giovanni is having a hard time adjusting. Haunted by what he did to Tam two years ago, he's sworn off having relationships, for fear of hurting someone else.

But when he meets feisty, fiery red-head Darren at a frat party, he indulges in the bad boy for one night. Except, Darren isn't the bad boy rumours say he is and their one night stand doesn't go to plan.

On paper, they could never work as a couple. But in the heat of the moment, they can't keep away from each other. But with both hiding dark secrets from their past, can they move forward together, without releasing their demons? Or will an attempt at 'normality' reveal the harsh truth that, underneath it all, they just want to be loved?

What happens when everyone in the room is only six-degrees of separation from an ex-boyfriend, the guy who beat him up, his brother, his cousin, and his best friend? You have a reunion to remember...for the wrong reasons.

Bringing everyone together, at the urging of his therapist, seems like a bad idea. Especially when it means putting Grayson, Tam, Casen, Giovanni, and Lachlan in the same room. And, of course, they all had to bring their partners, husbands or boyfriends. How Levi and Mack got invited, Konnor can only imagine. It seemed like everyone was eager to witness the inevitable explosion. After all, bad feelings can only be buried for so long...

Friendships have a way of causing either disaster or romance for the boys of Decadent. Click explores the past and present of Monroe's work relationship with Tyrone, and how a connection can form with even the most innocent of interactions. It can be hard to move past friendship into something more, something Jaime knows all too well when he asks Jean to Hold My Hand. It takes strength for Eddy to push past their work boundaries and beg Rhett to Leave Him for Me. In the final story, What Never Was, Lachlan offers Konnor a gift that might just heal old wounds, and reveal what might have been for him and Tam.
