He’s ready to tackle any challenge Linc throws his way, and senses the chemistry between them—chemistry Linc insists on ignoring—is still alive and kicking. This time, Jacob’s determined to get what he wants.
Close quarters and high stakes make it difficult for Linc to keep his resolve, never mind do so while also making sure the rookie’s safe. But the closer they get, the more Linc’s plan to leave at the end of the season risks him breaking another promise: the one his heart wants to make to Jacob.

Thirty-five’s a bit late for me to realize I’m not straight, though, right? And I have big dreams that won’t fit on Whispering Key, anyway—dreams that do not include tying myself to a tiny island stuck in the past or to a man who refuses to think about the future.
My head’s telling me I have to leave Whispering Key…
My heart’s telling me there might be treasure on this island after all.

But when Alex reaches out, Craig’s boyfriend sees him as a threat and Craig’s carefully balanced life falls apart – under the fists of the man who has promised to love him.

BLURB:
Socially awkward, thirty-six-year-old virgin, Simon Kadish, knows he wants more from life than a failing bakery and an empty apartment. He just doesn’t know how to get it.
From an early age, Simon’s life has been marked by loss. After the death of his father, Simon and his infant brother are ripped from their home in Tel Aviv and forced to settle in a small mountain town in the US where no one speaks his language. By the age of twelve, Simon is an orphan. By the age of twenty-one, Simon finds himself the unwilling owner of his bubbe’s bakery, and the hesitant guardian of his little brother. Terrified of losing what little he has left, Simon dedicates himself to his faith, sacrificing everything to keep the fragile scraps of his broken family.
But, when Simon’s favorite film star’s life suddenly falls apart on social media, Simon makes a choice. He goes against every one of his instincts and fires up his camera, sending a message in rusty ASL. He doesn’t expect anything from it, of course. After all, Simon’s life has been anything but charmed.
Deaf film star, Rocco Moretti, had anyone’s fantasy life, and he wouldn’t change it for the world.
When he was in college, Rocco decided to corner the market as a Deaf man in adult films as a quick way to make cash. Fifteen years later, and he’s rich with a house in Malibu, a boyfriend of almost two-decades, and a body that’s constantly in demand. His life was charmed, and he wouldn’t have it any other way. But when Rocco wakes up to his boyfriend leaving, he has nowhere to turn. People are starving for the drama, but no one cares that Rocco’s life has just fallen apart. His job is on the line, and he’s lost his interpreter, and all people want is the story.
Rocco realizes in that moment, he wants something more. He’s not sure where to find it, but he thinks maybe the shy video in shaky ASL in his DMs is a good place to start. After all, Cherry Creek is in the middle of nowhere, and since seeing that video, Rocco hasn’t been able to stop thinking about that shy baker’s long fingers, shy smile, and the constellation of freckles on his pale cheeks.
Rocco isn’t sure leaving his life behind is the right choice, and Simon isn’t sure he belongs in Rocco’s world. But the one thing they do know, is that this love has a chance to set them both free.

Besides, with his entire life being tied to Greece and Noah’s to New York, love might just be a luxury neither of them can afford.

Having a thing for your best friend’s dad is completely normal. It is. Climbing in bed with him when you are blitzed after losing your pants in a drunken act of heroism… also normal. And after the day Coley’s had––a blind date that ended before it started when the man saw him for the first time––he deserves to wake up in Fox’s arms. It’s completely platonic… and happens all the time, actually, but Coley would do just about anything to change the platonic nature of their relationship. Unfortunately, being chubby and shy hardly makes you catch of the day for just about ANY alpha, but definitely a not a man like Fox, who even nearing fifty, is far too sexy to be real.
Fox adores his son’s best friend Coley. He can’t help it. The plush little omega is just his type and probably the sweetest person he’s ever met in his life. When the omega has a bad date and ends up licking his wounds while hanging out with Fox, the older alpha finally gives in to the need he’s had for Coley since he first met him. Unfortunately, trying to get through to someone who has been hurt time and time again by other’s words and opinions of him isn’t easy, and a couple of well-meaning family members tend to complicate things sometimes. Fox has to find a way to convince Coley that just because he’s not the typical omega most alphas look for, he’s still absolutely perfect for Fox.
