    Summary

    For as long as even the old Gaffer could remember there had been a wizard living in the hill at Bag End, overlooking the Shire. As wizards went, this one wasn't the wandering sort, always out to lure gentle folk out onto nasty adventures, or even the powerful kind, the sort that lived in high towers, reaching out into the ways of the world.

    Summary

    A man falls in love with his childhood best friend, who happens to be a (really hot) shapeshifting monster.

    Scott’s been best friends with Griffin since they were kids. He’s been in love with Griffin since they were teenagers. Things definitely would have been easier if Scott had fallen in love with somebody who wasn’t an enormous, half-human, shapeshifting monster, but compared to Griffin, everyone else is just so ordinary. Scott and Griffin have grown apart since they started attending different colleges, but this spring break, they’re on a quest to track down Griffin’s mysterious shapeshifting kin, based on a clue Scott found in an old book. Which means Scott needs to decide if he should risk confessing his love (and crucially, his attraction to Griffin in all his forms) or if he should keep quiet so he doesn’t hold Griffin back from what might be his best life— even if that best life is without Scott. Also this quest is probably going to require breaking the law a little bit. This is going to be one hell of a spring break.

    Summary

    Max just wanted to be left alone. He couldn't stand the constant sympathy - how terribly sorry everyone was to hear about his parents deaths, how he should call any time he needed. Well, he didn't want their sympathy. He just needed some space, preferably somewhere quiet where he could clear his head.

    He thought he'd found exactly that when he bought his own home. It seemed just what he needed - a small place, but with big grounds and lots of trees, even a lake. Max could pay the mortgage with his dull office job, and in his spare time he could sit by the water and do his best to heal the wounds that haunted him. He told himself it would be easy - a simple plan for a simple life.

    But there were complications. Max's boss was a bully, determined to ruin everything. His work days were painstaking, almost unbearable, and Max would probably feel like he couldn't go on -

    If it weren't for the merman that lived in his lake.
