No one ever told me I might meet the love of my life on my knees in a coffee shop.
I’m not one of those people who has everything figured out. I work at my dad’s company because it’s expected, not because I enjoy it. And I may film adult videos at Elite 8 Studios in my free time, but when it comes to my love life, I’m tired of being treated like a plaything.
Jason is different. The blushing barista is demisexual, and unlike most people, he doesn’t care about what’s on the outside. He’s sweet and shy and surprisingly fierce when it comes to me, and for the first time ever, I feel seen.
But Jason has battles of his own beyond graduating nursing school. His health is in question, and suddenly, we have bigger issues than navigating a new relationship.
I never denied being a Himbo, but there’s one thing I know for certain. I’ll go to bat for Jason and me. Because love is worth fighting for.

Jason comes off as a shy, quiet, quirky, virgin barista. He’s demisexual, so he is very aware that he doesn’t feel s-xual attraction unless he has an emotional attachment. He is working towards his career goals and is very independent. And he is also strong, caring, funny, protective, and even a bit bossy. But he has some of his own anxiety and worries as well.
After a meet-cute disaster through a wanna-be matchmaker, Cas goes on the chase. He is determined to show Jason a good date, and as they go date by date, they start to develop a closeness and a connection. These two are just the sweetest together. Cas is so thoughtful, attentive, and romantic. He tries to show Jason that he likes him. And Jason really sees Cas for who he is and is not what he can do for him. I loved that Jason could be protective of Cas and doesn’t like when people objectify him and I loved seeing their relationship slowly build even during their limited time together. It’s just so sweet and heartfelt but there’s also this deepening of their connection and exploration more physically and emotionally. And Jason’s not a little shy wallflower when he is comfortable. He knows what he wants when he wants it.
This book was such an unexpected, sweet surprise. These two are just so perfectly matched and lovely together. The care, the tenderness, the appreciation, and the protectiveness between them are just so endearing. And even though this is a book about a demisexual, it goes from slow burn to hot. They have amazing chemistry together. But I wasn’t expecting some of the other very emotional situations that took this pair even deeper. Their connection and the care they show each other is just wonderful and it really touched my heart.
Friendship is another important component to this story. It brings back many of the other guys from Elite 8 and it also introduces Jason’s friend Brad, who is quite an interesting personality and added comic relief.

Dix
Do you believe in hate at first sight?
Dixon
If I had to choose one word to describe my new cocky costar, it’d be exasperating. Nikolas Adamos may look like a Greek god—and he certainly struts around like he knows it—but unlike everyone else, I refuse to fall prey to his charms.
Unfortunately for me, Niko and I get paired to do a series of lovey-dovey boyfriend videos for our employers at Elite 8 Studios. And when you film the sort of scenes we do, up close and personal takes on a whole new meaning.
I may have to play nice while the cameras are rolling, but off set, it’s another matter entirely. So what if our chemistry is off the charts? That doesn’t mean a thing. Nor does the tender look in Niko’s eye when we’re together under the lights.
Because I know the truth. Nikolas Adamos revels in riling me up. And even though my pesky friends think I need fireworks after a string of fizzled relationships, I have no doubt if I allow myself to get any closer to my new fake boyfriend, I’ll only end up burned.
Dix is a grumpy/sunshine, one-sided enemies-to-lovers romance with hate at first sight, forced proximity for two costars who work between the sheets, banter and snark galore, plenty of industrial-sized lube, and one very HEA. It’s book 1 in the Elite 8 Studios series, featuring characters that were introduced in Virgin Hearts (Plum Valley Cowboys Book 2), but can be read as a standalone.
Falling for his client was never part of the plan.
Mal
Adult entertainer. Escort. Camboy. Surfer-bro. Malibu.
I’ve been called many names, yet no one knows the real me. Filming at Elite 8 Studios gave me the fresh start I was looking for, but now, my past is calling, and even working three jobs isn’t enough to keep me afloat. With my anxiety and panic attacks getting worse and my debts on the rise, something needs to change.
When I’m offered an outrageous sum for a new escorting gig, I can’t pass it up. The catch? I’ll be living in the client’s penthouse for the next six months. And I’ll be his—exclusively.
I’ve been warned Henrik is difficult, but all I see is a man who’s protective, caring, and lonely underneath that hard shell of his. He’s also blind. And yet, somehow, he sees me for exactly who I am.
Turning to this man I barely know for comfort is a bad idea—and falling for a client is even worse—but I can’t seem to stop. With only a few months left on our contract, can I convince Henrik to give us a real shot?
Or will I lose the only man who sees the real me?
Malibu is an age gap romance between older client and younger escort, with hurt/comfort, mental health struggles, plenty of sugar daddy jokes, fiercely loyal friends, and one very HEA. It’s book 2 in the Elite 8 Studios series but can be read as a standalone.
Tink
Have you heard the tale of Goldie and the Two Bears?
Alex
Working in the adult entertainment industry has its challenges. Mainly, scoring a date that lasts longer than a night. I’d started to wonder if my own happily-ever-after wasn’t in the cards.
But then a hookup turned meet-cute lands me right on top of Rowan, the shy, submissive bear of my dreams with a serious weak spot for sweetly spoken words. He doesn’t see Tink, the performer. He sees me.
Yet before I can lick my territory, Rowan’s neighbor Finn walks in. Quite literally. And the tatted, pierced, ginger-haired papa bear has his sights set on my new crush. Even worse, Rowan returns his interest. I assume that’s game over, so imagine my shock when Finn suggests a less-than-traditional arrangement in which we all win.
They say you should never run from bears. So really, what’s a boy to do when faced with his ultimate fantasy?
After all, maybe happily-ever-after is meant for more than two.
Tink is a poly MMM romance between one golden-haired troublemaker and two very delicious bears of the human variety. There’s praise, furry chests and unexpected piercings, an extensive collection of orchids, tight white pants, coworkers who are like family, and one very HEA. It’s book 3 in the Elite 8 Studios series but can be read as a standalone.
