Pete and Chris live and work in Chicago's Boystown, a gay community where pride and same-sex love is a way of life. Aiming to boost his career at his uncle's tattoo shop, Pete enters the ink he's doing on muscleman Chris into a local contest. However, to bare his body for the crowd, Chris wants a chance at more than friendship with the sexy artist. At minimum, Chris demands a real date—and hopes he'll get dessert.

Pete doesn't mix business with pleasure. His rules are clear but Chris is out to break every single one and win Pete's heart and body. The sex and ink are hot but Pete knows it'll catch up to him. However, since he's doing the work for free, that means Chris isn't really a customer anymore . . .

A heated one-night stand a year ago doesn't stop Barb from starring on Broadway with Drew, a hot young hunk. Their new play is a hit, and Drew is out to prove there's more to their relationship than that one fling. Locking them in a dressing room, he ties her up and uses sex to reveal the truth of her feelings. That's exactly what she needs from him. He might be young, but he proves he's the strong partner she needs to free her from the mask she wears every day.
