ZackTwelve years ago, I thought I had everything figured out: I’d go off to college, get my marketing degree, come back to my charming little hometown of Finchley in California’s Gold Country, help my high school sweetheart build his carpentry business, and live happily ever after…Ha! That’s teenage naivety for you.Instead, on the eve of my college departure, Slater Goode (henceforth known as The Devil) ripped my heart out of my chest and stomped al...

JesseMy little brother is getting married and I couldn’t be happier…Well, maybe I could if I hadn’t just been dumped by the boyfriend I thought was about to propose, kicked out of my New York apartment, and, worst of all, lost one of the pediatric patients under my care at the hospital where I work as a nurse.With the current sh*tstorm that is my life, who could blame me for going a little overboard on the cocktails at the bachelor weekend in Vegas?...

BenAidan Kelly. To everyone else in the world he’s the star of a successful extreme travel show, but to me he’s the one that won’t go away.It started with one of those typical high school crushes on my best friend’s older brother, which turned out to be not entirely unrequited…There was that time just after high school where someone (not me) may or may not have hurled all over someone else’s c*ck.

WillTurning up on the first day of a job you desperately need to discover you’ve already slept with your billionaire boss? Yeah, that’s a bit of a conundrum.Learning he’s a closeted bisexual currently embroiled in a—by all accounts bogus—sexual harassment scandal? That’s more of a fiasco.But having to sit outside the office of one of the sexiest men alive, day in, day out, knowing there’s no chance of a repeat? That’s what I’d call a disaster.

LawsonI have one rule when it comes to my sex life: I only hook up with guys who identify as straight. It’s a tried and tested way of avoiding the cling factor, which I’ve found to be a huge problem in the past. A one-night stand with a curious ‘straight’ guy is the perfect situation: no strings, no mess, no dodging unwanted texts and phone calls.Is it the most healthy way to handle my commitment issues? Probably not, but it’s what I’ve got right now.

ChanceThere are certain rules of friendship that are pretty much written in stone:Don’t hit on your buddy’s girlBack your buddy up when he gets into a bar fightBail your buddy out when he gets hauled in by the sheriff for ‘requisitioning’ a pair of goatsHelping your buddy’s kid brother lose his virginity? …yeah, that’s not on the list.It starts as a simple favor. Now that he’s home ...

WesThe worst thing my sister ever did was agree to marry Devon Montgomery.The best thing she ever did was cancel the wedding two weeks out from the big day.It’s not that I don’t like Devon. It’s that I hate him. I detest him. I loathe him.And, for some reason, the feeling is mutual, although why anyone would hate someone as amazing as me is completely beyond my understanding.Devon, on the other hand? He’s an overbearing, uptight, pre...

He’s no longer the scrawny emo kid I remember from before he moved away; and, oh yeah, apparently he’s into guys now......

BlakeAt 43 I'm supposed to have everything figured out, and if you'd asked me six months ago I'd have said I did: head of my own tech company, beautiful fiancée, amazing future all planned out...life was perfect. Or, at least, I thought it was…So now I'm in New York after selling my company and fleeing San Jose, and for the first time in as long as I can remember I have nothing to fill my day—no meetings, no reports, no tests, no launch parties—and that's h...

EvanAll I want for Christmas is my best friend, Tyler. And so, it seems, does everyone else...I have an awesome, not at all cheesy mistletoe-related plan to make my Christmas wish come true, but before I can put it into action I’m thwarted by the arrival of not one, not two, but three of Ty’s drop-dead gorgeous former crushes.
