    Summary

    “Just to warn you –” a smile has crept back into Mav’s voice “– the second you accept the wedding invite Penny and Sarah will start a shortlist of eligible partners. If I didn’t know better, I’d say the wedding was just an elaborate excuse concocted by those two to fix you up.”

    Ice’s daughter is getting married and if Bradley doesn’t take a plus one to the wedding, he’ll either make some very bad decisions about hooking up with an ex, or be subjected to Sarah Kazansky and Penny Benjamin trying to fix him up with one of the other guests. Desperate times call for desperate measures: enter Jake Seresin, the sex worker that Bradley slept with two years ago and hasn’t forgotten about since.

    Having Jake on his arm (and in his bed) is the perfect – if very expensive – solution. That is, if Bradley’s ex would stop trying to poke holes in their backstory, and if Bradley can remember that enjoying Jake’s company is one thing, developing feelings is another.

    Summary

    Rooster lays a bet that Jake would be the first to cave in a test of wills and Jake’s only too happy to rise to the challenge. In other words: there’s a fine line between confidence and complacency and Rooster’s just tripped over it.

    Summary

    It's been ten years since Bradley woke in his bed, the demon he'd fallen asleep with gone without a trace.

    And now he's back.

    He’s aged some, same as Bradley – a curiosity for another time when Bradley’s able to think beyond how the years have only made the fucker more handsome, sharpening his jaw and adding smile lines in all the right places.
    “I’m not gonna fuck you,” Bradley says.
    “Heard that before, sweetheart.” A beat. “We both know you’ll be begging for it within the hour.”
    “Not this time.”
    A devilish smile, part pride, part promise. “Sure thing. Rooster.”

    Summary

    Bradley and Jake have been broken up longer than they were ever together. Long enough that if they fuck – just once, on account of circumstance – there's no need to worry that it'll happen again.

    Little has changed in the year or so since the uranium mission. Jake wears more medals and carries himself with less swagger, more gravitas but he still looks the same. Golden, gorgeous, the lines of his smile and the curve of his eyes a hint to the mirth that lies beneath.
    Still utterly insufferable.

    Summary

    Personal history isn’t enough to get in the way of professional opportunity, and when Lieutenant Commanders Jake Seresin and Bradley Bradshaw are selected to develop a pioneering Strategy Development Program at TopGun, working with the best young aviators the fleet has to offer, each figures they’re up to the challenge both in the air and on the ground. After all, a little rivalry can heighten the senses and bring out the best results…
    Or it can bring out something else altogether.

    “I’m not hard to impress,” Jake says, laying the cue down on the table. “I just don’t like people kissing my ass.”
    “Really?” Rooster says, and there’s a marginally lower register to his voice, a flicker of something crossing his expression that has excitement sparking in Jake’s gut.
    Walking round to take his drink from where he’s left it, Jake faces the others, resting the ass in question on the table and taking a sip of his drink, before answering.
    “Hero worship’s for people who don’t know their own worth.” He flashes a winning smile at his friends. “Some of us don’t need it.”

    Summary

    “I thought that maybe I’d have fucked a little of that ego out of you by now.” A lazy smile plays over his lips as Rooster tilts his head. “But you’re all ego, all the way down.”
    “Problem?”
    The faintest shake of Rooster’s head as he leans in. “Always liked a challenge...”

    In which Jake and Rooster do what they do best: try to outdo one another and fuck it up along the way.

    Summary

    Five times Jake and Bradley are forced to sit together for an event, plus one where they choose to do so.

    “I assume you were saving this for someone special.” The man flashes a smile designed to dazzle, an aviator’s arrogance amplified by the self-confidence of someone who’s never been anything less than the best looking guy in the room. As he sits, Bradley eyes dip down to check his patches: Hangman.

    Summary

    “Fuck me these are good,” Rooster mutters.
    “Oh, fucking you is very much on the agenda,” Jake says, his eyes a shade darker, his voice a touch lower as he looks across the table. “After.”

    Rooster arrives to find a note on Jake's front door telling him to dress for dinner. So he does. (And then, inevitably, he also gets undressed. But that comes later...)

    Summary

    Penny’s Christmas Party is an annual tradition. It's invite only, and the entry requirement is a dish for the potluck, an ornament for the tree, or ten bucks for the tip jar. All Jake has to do is put in an appearance and then he can leave.

    But leaving the Hard Deck soon proves more challenging than Jake was expecting. If only he could figure out who is the right person to kiss under the mistletoe...

    Summary

    Training on the F/A-18 is everything he’s ever wanted, but Bradley’s dream becomes a nightmare when a new recruit joins the Golden Eagles. Blond hair, green eyes and a smirk so wicked he could rival the devil, Jake Seresin is everything Bradley hates – arrogant, brilliant and an unrelenting asshole. It’s almost as if he’s been sent there as Bradley’s own personal demon…

    All Bradley’s seen of the man so far is the back of his head – dirty blond hair cut short and sharp to the nape of his neck. At Nija’s invitation, Seresin turns to smile at the room, hand coming up in a lazy salute, his grin as sharp, as calculated, as the cut of his hair. His eyes are green, his dimples deep, and he’s far too pretty to be trusted.

    Summary

    When the Dean of Hale South Western College announces a prestigious new writing course, rival Associate Professors Dr Jake Seresin and Dr Bradley Bradshaw find they've got to co-operate. But as the two of them pit their disciplines against one another, each set on proving the other wrong, they're grudgingly forced to admit that in order to teach, they've got to learn...

    Jake stares forlornly at his laptop as he contemplates withdrawing his acceptance. But damn if that wouldn’t make Bradley fucking Bradshaw happy. And Jake would rather drive himself to the depths of misery than give that dickhead one single second of satisfaction.

    Summary

    “Don’t look so suspicious.” Hangman leans in far enough to clasp his wrist and haul him up. “We’re on the same team.”
    “Are we?” Rooster says.
    For a long moment Hangman studies him, grin hitched at half mast, then, “Always have been, asshole.”

     

    Rooster has history with Hangman. And with Mav. What happens at Top Gun is a tale of grief and love and hubris, and how Rooster can’t stop caring about the people he once loved.

    Summary

    When Rooster needs advice on what to wear for a hot date, it's Jake he asks for help. Despite the fact he kinda wishes he was the one Rooster was taking on this date, Jake's determined not to let his ego get in the way of helping a friend in need and agrees to offer his services...

    All of them.

    “My impeccable taste is at your disposal.” He flashes Rooster a grin. “But you’ll owe me one.”
    “Sexual?” Rooster says, with the same mischievous tone as Jake.
    Jake lifts his beer to his mouth and winks. “If that’s what you’re offering…”
    Yeah, so long as Rooster keeps acting like this, they’re good.

    Summary

    There was a time when Rooster wanted to put Hangman in his place. Maybe today he actually will...

    “Look at you.” Not quite an instruction, but Jake is looking, nonetheless. “Model officer. Hair cut to standards.” Rooster combs his fingers up the back of Jake’s head, hard enough that his nails scrape his scalp. The longer hair on top of his head is still ever-so-slightly damp, laced with a faint trace of vetiver and bergamot from the shampoo that costs more than the contents of Rooster’s entire bathroom cabinet. “Strong and fit.” He runs his hands down the curve of Jake’s shoulders and biceps. “Good at following orders.”
    The tone of his voice shifts when he says it, husky with promise, and he watches the subtle bob of Jake’s throat in the mirror as he swallows.
    “Take your clothes off, Seresin.”

    Summary

    Jake doesn’t have the best relationship with his family, so when he’s summoned home for a special occasion, he calls up the one person he can trust to stick with him – after all, Bradley “Rooster” Bradshaw has never ever lost a wingman. But he’s about to find out that getting shot down in enemy territory to save Mav was a whole lot easier than surviving a long weekend chez Seresin.

    “So it’s a big family thing?” Jake says carefully. “Everyone bringing their partners?”
    “Well of course, Charlie’s promised to bring the kids and I’ve not even met Matty’s new girlfriend—”
    “So that means I can bring someone?”
    Silence on the line. His mom is no fool. She knows when she’s been played.
    “Of course, Jakey,” she says. “You’re welcome to bring anyone you like.”

    Summary

    A story of how love grows the same way people do: with a whole lot of heartache and some seriously bad timing. Until one day, that timing isn't so bad at all...

     

    He is your best friend. Someone you love more fiercely than anyone you’ve ever known. More fiercely than any of the boys you’ve kissed. More fiercely than the one you’ve gone all the way with. You love him like he’s more precious than family.
    As if sensing you’re watching, he looks up, the familiar warmth of his eyes grown darker, sadder. Something softens when he sees you.
    “Bradley?”

    Summary

    What starts out as a drink with friends turns into a lot more when Jake offers Bob to choose heads or tails when they flip for pool.

    “Heads or tails?”
    Bob looks at the silver dollar Jake’s holding up and smiles. “You always carry that around?”
    “’S my lucky dollar.” Jake flips the coin with his thumb and catches it flat in his palm.

    Summary

    After months of anxiety about whether he'll get to keep his job, Rooster finds that there's only one person he wants to celebrate the good news with: Jake. He doesn't know what they are to each other, but maybe that doesn't matter.

     

    He sits in the Bronco and stares at his phone for a lot longer than seems sensible. It’s not like they’re… anything specific. Fuck buddies sounds too casual and friends with benefits implies a friendship that Rooster isn’t 100% sold on as a concept. If he and Jake hadn’t fucked, what would they really be to each other?

    Summary

    Bradley Bradshaw isn't looking forward to having to spend the night dodging the ghosts of Christmases past as Ice tries to talk to him about Mav. But Jake, the waiter with an ass to die for and a smirk that spells trouble, proves a very welcome distraction.

    His pants are tight, showing off an incredible ass and thighs, and as Bradley’s gaze travels up his body, he’s pleasantly surprised that’s not even the nicest part to look at. The man’s movie-star handsome. A clean-shaven, sharply cut jaw, eyes alight with mischief and a mouth set in slightly dirty smirk, as if battling to keep a grin from breaking out.
    “Late again, Jake,” says the guy behind the bar. “Thought you were going to leave me hanging.”
