ear and breathing in his scent greedily. He couldn’t believe there was a time he’d found it unattractive. It seemed like it was in another life—like he had been a different man altogether. A lonely, unhappy man married to his job.

Haydn let out a contented sigh. “Love you, too,” he said, running his fingers down Royce’s arm and entangling their fingers together. “So much.”

Royce squeezed his hand. “So, where did you find Devlin?”

Grinning, Haydn started talking and gesticulating animatedly, his blue eyes bright with happiness and relief.

Royce just watched him and nodded hopefully in the right places, drinking him in. Fuck, he was so beautiful. So damn pretty. The loveliest thing he’d ever seen. And he was just his. His husband, his mate, his Haydn.

Haydn started laughing. “You aren’t listening!”

“Who can blame me?” Royce said, pushing him onto his desk. Fuck it. He was done being responsible.

“You can’t be serious—”

Royce kissed him.

Haydn was still laughing as he kissed back, so the kiss wasn’t very good.

It still felt perfect.

Just a Bit Wrecked

A plane crash. A homophobe and a gay man stranded together on a desert island. A love born out of hatred, need, and mutual desperation.

Andrew Reyes is handsome, rich, and very straight—he’s married to a gorgeous woman. Outspoken about his distaste for gay people, he isn’t shy about his opinion as he watches the gay couple he and his wife share a flight with.

Logan McCall is handsome, rich, and openly gay. He isn’t impressed with the bigoted jerk across the aisle, no matter how easy on the eyes he is.

To their shock and horror, they’re the only survivors when the plane crashes—stranded on a desert island with no hope of rescue, and no one but each other to depend on for survival.

As the days turn into months, can disdain, antipathy, and a craving they don’t understand and can’t resist turn into a connection? Or something more?
