Trapped in the sticky fine print of an ironclad contract that forbids him from revealing his very-much-single status until the season finale of his reality show airs, he calls an elite male escort service that caters to the rich and desperate.
Accustomed to servicing his often less than savory clients at more upscale locales, twenty-six-year-old Toby Carmichael is surprised when his handler sends him to a run-down motel off I-55. But “surprise” doesn’t come close to describing the shock that rocks his system when a delightful stuttering mess covered in tattoos and nearly ten years his senior stumbles into the room—and right into his heart.
For the first time since Toby was forced into the life of prostitution, a kiss sparks a desire that has nothing to do with money and everything to do with genuine chemistry and the faintest beginnings of something so much more. But Toby’s dark past and troubled present make it impossible to see a future with Landon. And when the truth comes to light, a horrified and helpless Landon is determined to save Toby at all costs.

Still, I spend every night alone.
My next coaching assignment is in Honey Bay. Middle-of-nowhere type place. The nearest Bergdorf Goodman is 331 miles away. The nearest hot guy, probably even farther. And I’m supposed to coach some dude named Holden.

Holden will be such a catch. For his eventual boyfriend. The one I’m trying to help him find.

The only man I’ve ever wanted is way out of my league… and he’s my dating coach.

BLURB:
Sometimes fate doesn’t play fair.
Alpha Lyle lives his life in his twin brother’s shadow. He’s fine with that. He’d rather be a pack Beta than their Alpha any day of the week. Who needs that stress? When the Ashcliff Pack Alpha calls upon an archaic law demanding the Greycoast pack host their Alpha’s only child in hopes of creating some sort of power couple, Lyle is all heck no and that’s even before he discovers he’s the intended mate. If he didn’t want to be the Alpha of his own pack, there was no way he wanted to be the Alpha of another. As long as he can find a way to turn the offer down without causing a pack war, everything would be just fine.
Omega and crocodile shifter Emmett has spent his life being thought of as less. A product of his father’s infidelity, he is referred to by the pack as their scarlet letter. The only crocodile shifter in a pack of pure wolves has put a target on his back. The only reason they didn’t put him down as a babe, was because the pack’s Alpha Omega took a liking to him and collected him as a sort of pet. That didn’t last long, and he went from pet to slave the year he turned sixteen. But things could be worse than being a manservant for their spoiled brat of a son. As long as Emmett continued to wait on him hand and foot, everything would be fine.
Lyle planned to meet the omega, be distasteful enough he got rejected, and move along. The last thing he expects is for the omega to come with his own manservant and for that manservant to be gorgeous, hilarious, and sweet as can be. Lyle’s wolf knew the quiet crocodile shifter was his fated mate. Now Lyle must figure out how to get out of the arranged mating, not start a pack war, and convince Emmett that they are fated mates. You know…just some minor details.
