It doesn’t take much to get Hikaru into bed. He’s surprisingly responsive to Shinobu’s every touch, and Shinobu’s plan of loving and leaving hits a setback when he can’t get enough of his prissy coworker. As one night turns into many, Shinobu starts to wonder if this is still revenge or if now he’s getting into something much sweeter…

Resigned, Shin has to settle for seeing Seiji when they run into each other about town or when Shin makes a point of stopping at his store. Shin believes he's content with that, but one night Seiji changes everything by bemoaning his lack of romantic prospects and mentioning he might as well try his luck with guys. Now Shin has a new goal in life—to win Seiji's heart!

It was hard enough for Shinobu to handle his one-night stand morphing into a real relationship, but now he has to deal with a man from Hikaru’s past showing up out of the blue!

Meanwhile, Seiji is swamped with self-doubt. Does an old man with a bleak romantic history have what it takes to satisfy his hot, young partner?

Shin and Seiji have been living together in domestic bliss for over a year, but Seiji’s upcoming birthday is the first time Shin will get to celebrate with him. Shin wants to make the day extra special for his boyfriend, but his romantic idea is turning out to be a serious challenge, especially since Seiji is terrible at providing a decent wish list! With the odds stacked against him, Shin must rely on his police training to help him on the most important mission of his life—finding the pe...
