Summary
Irial doesn't do relationships...and why should he? He's smart, sarcastic, likable and in his final year at university with a popular Twitter account and college radio station...plus, he's been burned before and doesn't need anyone besides his two flatmates and best friends. Then he meets Crispin Emerson who's sweet and cute and not Irial's usual type, clean cut, Hipster, decidedly straight (sort of...maybe?) as well as an international pop sensation in yet another British boyband who can't tell the world he's gay (sort of...maybe?) at least gay for Irial. It shouldn't matter since they'd never going to see each other again, but it does and they do. Finding a way to navigate love in the music industry might just be harder than working within it. (The scripts I wrote the preceded and helped inspire this are up and posted to my blog, which you can find a link to on the last page of this work)

Summary
Arthur Bailey has rules. Don't sleep with the same guy twice, never in the same city (unless he has as much to lose as himself), and never get into a relationship. He's a pro-athlete from a high profile family. The rules are basic survival. He wasn't prepared for Salem. Slated to be the next Steve Jobs, Salem's motivated, goal-driven, and openly gay. After a 3 day affair after winning gold at the Rio Olympics, they just can't seem to forget each other, or stop running into each other now that Salem's spending a year in the UK and working on his business plan at King's College. All they have to do is kept it simple, keep emotions out of it, which is easier said than done when both of them want a hell of a lot more. With hearts and career on the line, they'll have to risk everything for a dangerous friendship that could be more.

Summary
Hip-hop artist Kimberly Lakshmi has been in the music industry long enough to know better than to try to maintain a long-term committed relationship, especially not with someone more closeted than she is.
Of course, she wasn't counting on a cheeky figure skater to charm her into staying, but with so much at stake, one mistake could ruin them both.

Summary
From the first moment popstar Theodore Maverick lays eyes on Harry Benton-Sterling, he's in love...or at least in lust. Harry is mildly impressed by his professionalism, turned off by his profession, and entirely leery about his struggle with addiction. Their lifestyles couldn't be more different, Maverick lives for the spotlight and Harry's a PR fixer that manipulates from the shadows. But they're both liars. Maverick lies about his sexuality, his past, and his struggles; Harry lies about all the same things to people closest to him. They're too similar to resist attraction for long, but a casual affair quickly becomes a relationship. But a relationship built on lies, addiction, and fear is a powder keg waiting to explode, and their tenuous relationship (let alone careers) may not be strong enough to withstand the destruction. (This is a part of a series but can be read as a standalone)
