Lucky

Two years ago I humiliated myself by declaring my love to an older man who clearly didn’t share my feelings. And that’s fine. One day Zach will come around. Meanwhile, I’ve built a life for myself in northern Montana, pursuing my college degree while working hard toward certification in high-risk alpine search and rescue on the side. And perhaps I’ve kept the danger part a secret from my two dads. After all, what they don’t know won’t hurt them…

Everything’s going exactly as planned until my dads send Zach to check on me just as I’m dealing with an ex who doesn’t understand the meaning of the word no. It’s bad enough Zach still thinks of me as a child; now he also thinks I’m incapable of looking out for myself. I need to get him off my back before he finds out I’m not heading to Wyoming for summer break like everyone thinks. I’m going to Glacier National Park to learn how to rappel from helicopters…

Zach

Two years ago I wanted something I couldn’t have, so I threw myself back into my job as an Army Ranger and wound up scarred in more ways than one. When the army dumps my sorry self back into the real world, it’s time to start over. I accept a summer job teaching high-risk search and rescue. On the way there, all I have to do is peek in on little Lucky Reed and make sure he’s okay.

He’s not. Someone has it out for him, and I’ll be damned if I’m going to let him get hurt on my watch. My plan is to keep him safe until he heads south for his summer job playing trail guide to tourists. Once he’s gone, I’ll be free to head to Glacier where my biggest challenge will be keeping a handful of alpine search and rescue students safe as they learn how to dangle from helicopters high above the Rocky Mountains.

It’s all fine. Until it’s not. Danger follows us to Glacier, and by the time I finally start seeing Lucky as more than the awkward teenager he used to be, I wonder if it’s too late to convince him that this scarred soldier sees him as anything but little anymore.

BLURB:

The Bunny Man is on the hunt.

Cade is more than happy to ignore any supernatural case that comes his way, but he knows the same doesn’t go for the others. He’s not surprised when Charlie pushes him to accept a case that involves several strange deaths, and he can’t deny he’s curious since the man who hired them is one of the police detectives working on the case.

Fin doesn’t mind ghosts, but he’d rather not have them try to kill him and the people he loves, which is exactly what happens when they go after the ghost killing people and hanging them from bridges. The bunny costume the serial killer ghost wears makes him even creepier, and with Dacey unsure if he can banish the ghost, one of them could become his next victim.

And that’s without adding Dacey’s abusive ex-boyfriend into the mix.

Lord Sebastian Stone, Viscount Gregory, has been hiding in Paris ever since the truth about his romantic preferences was exposed, causing a scandal that ruined his life as he knew it. So when Damien instantly turns his head and causes him to feel the need for love and companionship that he has deliberately pushed aside for years, he is wary. But there is something all too familiar about the way Damien and his family are being blackmailed, something that he is determined to get to the bottom of.

Can Damien and Sebastian work together to catch the man who destroyed Sebastian’s life and could ruin Damien’s as well or will the passion they feel for each other get in the way?

BLURB:

Trevor can never leave good enough alone. So when he meets model-gorgeous Chase who has an aversion to being touched, he spots a challenge. After all, no one wants to go through life not being touched by anyone, right? Despite a friend’s plea not to, Trevor sets his sight on fixing Chase.

After being forced to transfer his senior year of college, Chase just wants to avoid drama, pass his classes, get his degree, and move on (and back to his friends). He’s not looking for new friends, and his attitude gives him a reputation that makes it easy to accomplish. At least until he meets Trevor.

Despite an awkward beginning, common interests — and Trevor’s persistence — draw Chase and Trevor together. It’s almost inevitable that their friendship develops into something else. But when secrets come out, it might end the game early.
