Life was easier when rival detectives, Quaid and Aslan, kept to their own side of the building. They could forget that one glorious night they shared and move on.
But when Aslan is called to a homicide and discovers one of the victims has a personal history with Quaid, he knows a confrontation is inevitable.
When news about the case spreads, Quaid can’t help but get involved. He wants answers, if not for himself, then for the families of the victims.
Joining ranks with Aslan and his partner, Quaid uncovers more than he bargained for. Too many secrets and lies. This case is dangerously personal.
Maybe this wasn’t such a good idea after all.
Plus, the more time he spends with Aslan, the harder it is for Quaid to ignore the attraction they share.
Playboy Aslan, who doesn’t believe in repeats, can’t seem to stop flirting and bantering with the grumpy MPU detective, and his rules go out the window as they’re drawn deeper into the case.
But what happens when one more night turns to two, then two turns to three?
Does Quaid want to risk his heart again?
Has Aslan developed an emotion?
Can they put a stop to their fun and walk away?
But the real question is, do they want to?

Wes
The worst thing my sister ever did was agree to marry Devon Montgomery.
The best thing she ever did was cancel the wedding two weeks out from the big day.
It’s not that I don’t like Devon. It’s that I hate him. I detest him. I loathe him.
And, for some reason, the feeling is mutual, although why anyone would hate someone as amazing as me is completely beyond my understanding.
Devon, on the other hand? He’s an overbearing, uptight, pretentious snob who wouldn’t know a good time if it bit him on the arse.
I mean, yes, he’s insanely attractive. And, yes, he’s been known to star in some particularly dirty fantasies of mine—ones of the hate-sex variety.
But that’s all it is.
Well, that’s all it was supposed to be…
Until I discover Devon has been having the exact same fantasies about me. Turns out he’s not so averse to fun after all…

Logan:
“I see the way Brooke has been eyeing me. Since he’s joined the Wounded Inked motorcycle club, he hasn’t said a word, but his eyes follow me when I hike my leg to get on my bike, and when I’m sitting talking to one of the guys. Morgan says he’s off limits, because Brooke is his best friend, and although I had a crush on him in my teens and early twenties, I think I got over him when I reached twenty-five. He never showed me the least bit of interest when we were growing up, and I wonder why all the interest now?”
Brooke:
“It’s hard being a gay man and trying to find the love of your life. I missed all the cues with Logan and now that I want to approach him, I’m afraid, because he’s too cocky, too into himself, and at his age and his sex appeal where all the men in this MC club, straight and gay, are hoping to claim his attention, not to mention claim him as their own. I wonder if it’s too late for me?”

Jackson and Ellery face their toughest case yet—against the criminal justice system itself.
Jackson Rivers and Ellery Cramer have worked difficult jobs before, but usually it’s getting the facts that’s the problem. For their newest client, the trouble isn’t finding the truth—it’s corruption at the highest levels of the justice system. It isn’t enough to find the actual perpetrator and unveil a heartless plot—not when the DA is the bad guy and he’s using cops as his goons. Keeping their vulnerable client alive and out of jail takes blood, sweat, and tears.
When one of their major antagonists is killed and the DA tries to pin the death on Jackson, he’ll need every ounce of luck and all his resources to clear his name—and to find the perpetrator before the DA can use the murder to further his own agenda. They soon find that it’s easier to spot an honest man in a field of thieves than it is to shoot fish in a barrel—and both the man and the fish will be lucky to survive….

He saves another warlock, Redford, after he accidentally traps himself in the form of a bird and gets caught in a snowstorm. They spend the weekend together waiting for the storm to pass, and it’s the first time in centuries that Sam’s had company over. He should be forgiven for falling head over heels for his attractive guest.
Redford’s tired of dating guys from New York City: evil warlocks who brag about their black magic and human men from Wall Street who joke about how evil they are. He wants someone with a good heart who’s not just interested in him for his money. (Being a billionaire is hard sometimes, okay?) Sam is a good warlock, and it doesn’t hurt that he’s got a great body from all that wholesome manual labor he does at his hardware store.
Redford’s plan to win Sam over is simple. He invites him to his penthouse for a weekend in New York City, planning to pull out all the stops for a high-class seduction. That’s where the problems start.
The last time Sam traveled outside Connecticut was in a carriage, and he’s instantly overwhelmed by New York. Meanwhile, Redford realizes he has no idea how to be romantic.

Can a straight Italian mob doctor be my Daddy?
Homeless boys like me aren’t built for relationships.
When we’re not fighting for a spot under the bridge, we’re volunteering at homeless shelters for a spare bed.
Finding a protector isn’t in the cards.
Everything changes when Dr. Gianluca Ferrari—the cardiologist who’s like God in my shelter—catches me after I faint in his arms.
I was coloring pretty butterflies in a walk-in freezer, and I must’ve forgotten to eat lunch.
Dr. Gianluca prescribes rest and he gives me a room in his Manhattan penthouse overlooking Central Park to sleep in.
I’ve had a crush on him ever since I started volunteering at this shelter last year, but I’ve never made a move because he’s straight.
When Dr. Gianluca calls me his sweet boy… I wonder if he’s not as straight as I think.
Can this man be my new Daddy?

Well-known computer security infiltration specialist Jasper Huxley has never met a system he can’t hack. Whether his assignment is accessing a highly-classified Pentagon server or modifying his little brother’s high school report card, he’s always got a botnet, an exploit, or a little bit of social engineering he can call up to get the job done.
But there are certain things he can’t finesse, no matter how hard he tries.
- Beating the infuriatingly adorable and maddeningly handsome Kevin Rogers in the ice mammoth expedition during Horn of Glory’s first annual Horn Master Championship week. (Robbery.)
- Accessing stolen cartel data on a device that’s never connected to a network. Pretty sure it’s the fault of a certain busybody gamer who will not be named. (Kev.)
- Sharing a house and–worse–a network with Kev. (Gah.)
- Being forced to allow a non-trained, non-serious, and non-resistable civilian to take part in a critical intel operation. (•side-eyes Kev)
- Navigating social situations with grace when he continues to run into Kev–and his new gamer “boyfriend”–at society events during the course of a critical mission. (Like any serious relationship starts during a game.)
- Keeping Champion Security’s system safe from increasingly sophisticated black hat threats. (Not Kev, but still… annoying.)
In short, when Kevin Rogers is in the picture, the safe and peaceful life Hux has managed to construct for himself gets suddenly and irrevocably… hacked.
(And it’s all Kev’s fault.)

Chase
After an excruciating loss, I’m desperate for a fresh start.
Away from the painful memories.
Away from everyone I know and anyone who knows my story.
That’s how I end up in Eagle’s Landing, Pennsylvania.
As a bestselling author, my main reason for moving to a remote mountain cabin is to overcome the writer’s block that crushed my creativity for the past two years. My hope is to rediscover my words in the quiet, small town where no one knows me. Or my past.
A place where I can blend in enough that I become invisible.
Rett
Even though Chase, one of my favorite authors, insists he wants to be left alone, I refuse to let him wallow in whatever’s drowning him.
As a local bookstore owner and author myself, I’m intrigued by the man who’s a master of the written word. Unfortunately, his social skills could use a lot of work.
Even so, I’m determined to pull the irritable and frustrating man out of the dark pit he’s fallen into and back to the surface, no matter how hard he fights it. I only hope dragging Chase down that fiery path just might reignite his spark and that I don’t get burned in the process.

Just when I was starting to get used to being alone in my own head, now I’m possessed in a whole new way. And apparently, I’m an omega, which seems to be code for “magical thot who gets harassed by every alpha within a hundred miles.”
The worst part is, I don’t even know which one of these bloodthirsty douchebags knocked me up. With my luck, it’s probably Cameron, who sees me and the baby as a threat to his precious goddess, especially now that she’s gone MIA.
Weirdly enough, the news has caused a split within the cult, pitting brother against brother. Even though I thought they’d all be on the same side, now Sam, Cyrus, and (ugh) Alex claim they’ll do whatever it takes to protect me and the baby. Even if it means going up against Ichor and the rest of her cult.
Obviously, I don’t trust them. I might be a “dumb blond,” but I don’t need to get sacrificed twice to learn that lesson.
If only my traitorous heart would get the memo.
