Jeremiah Stewart’s sexuality is no one’s business. Not that he’s hiding it. When—if—he finds the right one, he’ll absolutely introduce him to Mom. But a late-night brush with a sexy stranger in too much lip gloss has him rethinking nearly everything…
To Collin Galloway, direction is a four-letter word. Sure, he hates his job, he hates living with his parents and he really hates watching everyone move on without him. But he doesn’t know what he wants to do, long-term, and he won’t figure it out by thirsting over Jeremiah, the superhot, superintense paramedic who is suddenly everywhere Collin looks.
When Jeremiah’s faced with losing all he’s worked so hard to build, he reluctantly accepts Collin’s help. They’re both determined to stay professional…which works about as well as either would imagine. But Collin only does closets with clothes, and Jeremiah has to decide if he’s finally found the one worth bringing home to Mom.

BLURB:
On the run from trumped-up murder charges, Alex Dawson and his boyfriend Sev settle in a small town in Vermont on the recommendation of Sev’s mob-boss cousin Bella. Chickadee is so tiny that it has only one major employer in the depths of the Great Depression: Trask & Co. Maple Sugar Mill. It’s a quiet place. That is, until Walter Trask is found in his own maple grove with his head smashed in.
Alex doesn’t want to have anything to do with the death, but things get much more personal when Bella is falsely arrested. Determined to free her and even the scales, Alex scours the town for clues as to what really happened. He quickly learns that small towns have big secrets that people may be willing to kill for. And if that weren’t bad enough, Alex and Sev’s once-sweet relationship is turning bitter under the combined pressures of isolation, anxiety, and jealousy. Alex needs to find the true murderer quickly before Bella is turned over to the feds, or worse, Sev walks out of his life forever.

When an epidemic of missing person cases is on the rise, the police refuse to act. Instead, Alex Delatorre goes to Thundertown for answers and finds clues leading to a new Lord trying to unite the population.
No one has seen the Lord, and the closer Alex gets to him, the farther Alex gets from his path home.

And despite the annoyingly charming way he’s growing on me, I don’t intend to lose.

Sleeping with your bodyguard is a bad idea nine times out of ten. I know that better than anyone because I’ve had about a million bodyguards and haven’t been attracted to any of them—until now.
But you know what’s an even worse idea? Falling in love with your bodyguard.

BLURB:
Monroe fell hard for Montgomery when they met during the Fourth of July celebration this past summer. For once he was reckless and spontaneous with little thought to what might happen, and he thought those feelings might be returned… until Montgomery revealed that he was a private investigator hired to find Monroe’s best friend. Suddenly, it became very clear why an alpha like Montgomery would give an uptight omega like him a chance. He was using him to get to his friend.
When Montgomery met the beautiful but tense omega while on a job, he fell fast, and he fell hard. There was just something about the guy that called to a dormant piece of himself that he didn’t even know existed. One night of absolute bliss, a strange happening in bed and a broken condom later, and Montgomery was convinced that Monroe is the only man for him. Unfortunately, Monroe’s best friend just happened to be the man Montgomery was hunting. He had to come clean about his business there for the sake of everyone… and lost Monroe’s trust in the process.
After handling everything back home, Montgomery returns to Vale Valley in hopes of making everything right with his precious omega. Even going as far as moving in next door to him, but Monroe is a stubborn guy, even if he can’t help engaging with Montgomery every single time they see each other. When it’s accidentally revealed that Monroe is pregnant, Monroe insists that the baby isn’t his, and was actually conceived the week before their encounter, but Montgomery distinctly remembers the nervousness of a man who claimed to be a virgin that night. So either Monroe was lying then, or he’s lying now. Either way, Montgomery just wants Monroe in his life, even if it means just being a friendly, helpful neighbor who brings him meals to make sure he’s eating right and hangs his Christmas lights and hides his ladder so he doesn’t break his neck. If that means he has to live the rest of his life loving a man who will never love him back, then he’ll just have to take what he can get. Vale Valley let him through its borders for a reason, and maybe being Monroe’s neighbor was it.
