    Summary

    While working the night shift at an old Hollywood hotel with a reputation for being haunted, Mickey makes a strange connection with one of the guests, aspiring actor Ian Gallagher. Except that the hotel has no record of Ian, and no one other than Mickey ever sees him.

    The more time he spends with Ian, the less Mickey is sure what is real and what isn’t. But one thing is true: Mickey is going to find a way for them to be together.

    Summary

    Ian should have never offered to hide his father's stash of gold. Now he's stuck living on a deserted piece of land in the woods, alone, losing his sanity.

    Mickey wants nothing more than to disappear — from prison, from his family, from the entire world. If only he knew where to get his hands on a cool million.

    The Gallagher gold. Mickey wants it. Ian will do anything to protect it. Who will cave first?

    Summary

    There’s something building, bubbles rolling across frothing water, heat and sound and thick steam curling like an impenetrable wall of humidity over the city. Each time Mickey comes into the store, gives him that predatory look, the rope of tension between them tightens, laden with the tantalizing possibility of more.

    For someone so stubborn, Mickey's about as flighty as a deer. The slightest threat of a kiss, even Ian looking at his lips for a second too long, always has him bolting.

    Summary

    "He distantly registers Mandy's soft gasp, but only barely. He's too focused on Mickey, on the way his mouth falls slightly open and his eyes widen. As if in slow motion, he watches as shock gives way to pure horror and his hands itch to reach out, to comfort in some way but that's definitely the last thing he should be doing.

    'What did you hear?' Mickey finally asks, voice no more than a whisper.

    'Mick—'

    'Gallagher, what did you hear?'

    More force injected this time and Ian sighs again.

    'More than enough.' "

    ---

    OR: a half-improvised memory potion for Ian's upcoming Math test has an interesting side effect: he can hear what people are thinking as long as he's touching them. That includes his best friend/unrequited crush, Mickey, who's got some very interesting thoughts of his own.
