For Desta, the East African capital encompasses some of the happiest and saddest parts of his life–his first home and the place where his father died. When an unavoidable work obligation lands him there for twelve weeks, he may finally have a chance for the closure he so desperately needs. What Desta never expected was to catch a glimpse of his future as he reconnects with the beautiful country and his family’s past.
Elias Fikru has never met an opportunity he hasn’t seized. Except, of course, for the life-changing one he’s stubbornly ignored for the past nine months. He’d be a fool not to accept the chance to pursue his doctoral studies in the U.S., but saying yes means leaving his homeland, and Elias isn’t ready to make that commitment.
Meeting Desta, the Dominican-American emergency relief worker with the easy smile and sad eyes, makes Elias want things he’s never envisioned for himself. Rediscovering his country through Desta’s eyes emboldens Elias to reach for a future where he can be open about every part of himself. But when something threatens the future that’s within their grasp, Elias and Desta must put it all on the line for love.

He’s a hockey star. And he’s my daughter’s hero. And now he’s…my boyfriend??
When Jase Kelly scores his fourth professional hat trick, it’s more than just a career highlight. In one of the hats raining down onto the ice, there’s a note from two fans—a girl whose migraines keep her from coming to games, and her dad, who hopes to get her an autograph for her birthday.
Devin McKenzie just hopes for a signature or maybe a chance for his daughter to meet her favorite player. Instead, Jase Kelly pulls out all the stops to give Dallas an evening of hockey, autographs, and all the souvenirs she can carry. She’s beyond starstruck. And Devin? Being starstruck wouldn’t make his heart race like this…would it?
Jase only wanted to cheer up a fan. He never expected to be so attracted to her dad. One look at Devin, though, and he’s speechless. And suddenly a lot more certain than he’s ever been about his sexuality.
Once they connect, they’re so good together it’s almost effortless… as long as Jase keeps Devin from seeing how the slightest bit of stress—or even nothing at all—can reduce him to shaking and hyperventilating. Meanwhile Devin desperately hopes that this one time, he’s found someone who won’t bolt from the reality of dating a parent of a child with chronic health issues.
They won’t be able to keep those cards hidden forever, though. Sooner or later, their respective truths will come to light.
Fate brought them together. Can love save them from falling apart?

BLURB:
The beast doesn’t ever really get a fairytale ending…does he?
Deven’s mission is clear. All he has to do is convince the dragon to give up one of his magical scales. Lies, deception, seduction—nothing is off-limits. It should be easy. But it isn’t. Especially not when said dragon is so alluring in human form. It’s not long before Deven starts to want something way more valuable than a scale from his beautiful beast. But how do you convince a dragon to give you his heart when your entire relationship was built on deceit?
Fiora is cursed. Love can kill him. Literally kill him. So keeping his mind (and hands) off the devilishly handsome Deven shouldn’t be a challenge. But it is. Deven’s entirely too warm, too attractive, too…everything to resist. And spending time with the lovable human makes Fiora question what’s more frightening—the curse, or the possibility of a life without Deven by his side.
If they want a shot at happily ever after, Deven and Fiora will need to break the potentially deadly curse and overcome all the secrets that stand between them. Easy, right?
They wish…

BLURB:
What do you do with an alpha who seems to have made it his life’s mission to irritate the hell out of you? You snap and do something that could get you arrested in some areas, applauded in others, and just might change your life completely.
Working as a bar tender/manager at Slick, the strip club owned by Wagoner Foster, is a pretty good gig. If I want to spend time with my two little boys as much as I can during their waking hours, I have to work at night, and the wages and tips are amazing for a single father. There is only one problem. One gorgeous, cocky, annoying problem… Wagoner Foster. I knew from the day I showed up for my interview that the man preyed on young omegas who hadn’t been in the world long enough to have been warned about someone like him. Thankfully, being in my early thirties, I’m not only older than Wagoner and not at all his type, but I’m also smart enough to know better. Of course, that doesn’t stop my body from reacting every time he is in a room, or the rush of excitement that moves through me when we argue. And then something happens that makes me question just about every thing I believed about him. What am I supposed to do now?
Owning a strip club definitely gets you a reputation. It doesn’t matter if you have strict policies about not fraternizing with the people who work for you or not. All people see is an alpha who spends over forty hours a week around half naked omegas all day. I know it means I might never find the omega for me, since the stigma that comes with my business can be hard to swallow, and most omegas don’t want their husbands around it at all, and for the most part, I’m okay with being alone for the rest of my life… until I meet Jennings. He so feisty and stunning and won’t let me get away with anything. He makes me want things I shouldn’t. The things my Da wants for me. But he works for me. Nothing good could come from dating an employee… Right?
