Senior Engineer Izan Castillo is captured by pirates, and taken to the rundown and close to uninhabitable Triple R space station, where he’s set to work repairing their failing systems. His only assistant is Milo Foss, still an engineering apprentice at nearly thirty. Izan would never have someone so underqualified in his team normally, but working with Milo he sees that the man has abilities beyond what his lowly qualifications would suggest. He also soon learns that Milo and many others are no happier to be stuck on the Triple R than he is.

Not prepared to simply wait for rescue, Izan sets a plan in motion and begins to gather allies. Milo is the first to join him, desperate to escape the station and get back to his family, even if it means going to jail. But nothing’s ever gone right for Milo since the day he was reluctantly assigned to a pirate ship, and this time will be no exception. At least while they work on the plan he can be with Izan, the hottest guy he’s ever seen on the Triple R. Even if they are only using each other to escape. Because that’s surely all there is to it. No actual feelings involved. It’s no more than a transaction for both of them. Right?

Coming 21st January from JMS Books

One rainy day, Chris takes a spur of the moment trip to the city zoo, because even walking around in the rain looking at damp animals is better than going back to the office. The animals are cute, especially Lucky, the red panda. But Lucky’s keeper Joel is even cuter and accepts Chris’s invitation to go for a drink that evening. This impulsive trip to the zoo was a good idea, but Chris still has to go back to work tomorrow.

One date leads to more. On their dates, Chris loves to hear Joel’s stories of crazy zookeeping and animal misadventures, and can’t help contrasting Joel’s job with his own. The one that’s slowly driving him around the bend with the mundane pettiness of it all. When Joel has an opportunity that will take him to the other side of the world, can Chris find the courage to leave his BS job behind and take a new path?
