As the highest-grossing drug dealer on Denver’s south side, he’s attracted the attention of the Denver Narcotics unit. When he realizes he’s being tailed by a member of the DPD, instead of lying low till the heat dies down, he does what he always does: the exact opposite of what he should.

Twelve years ago he lost his brother to drugs, and secretly riddled with guilt, he’s fought obsessively to eradicate them ever since. He’s puzzled when, after months of tailing low-level dope dealers, he’s assigned to be the lead targeting the biggest drug ring in town.

However unlikely, when the cop and the drug dealer meet, sparks fly, triggering a chain of events that forges an unlikely partnership that both men should, but neither man can resist.

Parker:

I’m tired of this revolving door of agents. Four of them have bailed on me in the past year, and honestly, I expect the rookie, Jase, to be number five.

It’s not like I’m asking for much.

Just a contract long enough to pay off college tuition for my triplet younger brothers, the trio of chaos, and maybe an endorsement that doesn’t make me totally cringe. I don’t care about fame and media attention; I’m happy just playing the game and keeping a low profile.

Or at least, that’s what I thought.

But when Jase suggests a night out dancing in disguise, I don’t say no. Even though I have no idea why. There’s something about Jase that makes me want to do all the things I’ve been avoiding for years.

But I have responsibilities, and despite what my brothers tell me, I’m just not sure if I can let go and truly open up to anyone, especially my sexy rookie agent.

RELEASE DATE: 11/7/2023

BLURB:

I stop pucks flying at 100mph, but even I didn’t see this shot coming.

On the surface, I’ve got it all. I’m the starting goalie and Captain of the Colorado Bulldogs hockey team. I’ve got more money than I know what to do with. I can count an entire team of elite athletes as my friends. And according to the pundits, I’m an eligible bachelor.

That’s the image everyone sees, but it’s just a role I play. A part dictated by my career. I have to be just as perfect off the ice as I am on it since everything I do reflects on my team in some way or another. So, those questions I have about why I don’t crave sexual contact the way my teammates do–questions I’m afraid to ask with the world watching… I decided a long time ago it didn’t make sense to look for answers until after I retire.

Then I ran into him.

Tripp is loud, obnoxious, and full of confidence. Some people find his sass off-putting, but not me. I find it intriguing, and I admire his ability to be himself, consequences be damned. Apparently, I also admire the way he looks, since my eyes seem to linger on him longer than they should, and when he sets his sights on me…

Waiting for retirement to explore who I am seems like too big a sacrifice, so when Tripp offers to help me answer some of those questions about myself, I jump.

I’m tired of pretending to be Mr. Perfect… Tripp and his playboy antics might be just the thing I need to figure out who I am outside of hockey. The only problem is, everyone–including our mutual friends–see him as a bad pucking influence.

It’s been months, and Ken’s never even bumped into the guy again, and Cassowary Point isn’t that big. The shock on his face seeing Henry standing in his doorway announcing he’s his new housemate is only surpassed by the mix-up that sees them making do with only one bed.

What follows is a housemates with benefits arrangement. Henry won’t fall for Ken, and Ken can explore his sexuality, not needing to be accepted by anyone other than himself.

Everyone knows me as Nick, the human who helps omegas in need. And while I do assist omegas on the run, and I do work for the omega shelter, I’m neither Nick nor human: I’m Nixon the hyena —not that I’ve ever met my beast. They were stolen from me and the reason I fled my pack all those years ago.

Being “human” made it easy for me to help other shifters find their path to freedom. No one suspected me of anything—until they did. Now I need to begin again with a new name and a new location. Staying where I am will only be a homing beacon that puts the shifter omegas at risk. It’s fine. Really it is. I’ve done it before.

Only, it isn’t fine. I want more than to have no one know my name and who I truly am. I want real friends and a family. When one of my local otter shifter connections updates me that an omega I helped found his happy ever after via the Male-Order Mates app, I decide to give it a try, hoping to find one mate—instead I find two. Please let them accept me beastless and all, and please give me the strength to show them who I truly am.

Riven

I’ve never been great at letting people in. Life is easier if I bury my feelings. People tend to let you down, which is only proven when my best friend, Rex, accidentally kills a man and lets me take the fall.

When I get out of prison, the last thing I want is to go back to Clayton, Oregon, but it’s where my grandma lives, the only person who’s always had my back. My plan is to stay out of trouble, steer clear of my old crew, save up, and the second we can, leave town for good.

Parrish

I want nothing to do with my family and their illegal activities. With Riven back, I worry things will get worse. He and Rex have always brought out the worst in each other, but then I discover Riven went to prison for something my brother did, and my family isn’t happy to have him home.

Riven wants nothing to do with me, and I don’t blame him. But like a moth to the flame, I’m drawn to him. It starts out as mutual lust, Riven sating the pleasure he craves, while I get to fulfill my first-crush fantasies. But with every moment, I see there’s more to Riv than anyone knows.

Not everyone would see him as a good man, but to me, he’s the boy who used to try to keep my family’s lifestyle from becoming mine.

And now he’s the man who risked his heart to fall in love with me…and the one who’d risk more to protect me.

BLURB:

Every game begins with a good starting line.

Ethan

I’ve been secretly married for eight years. Why is it a secret? Because having an open marriage splashed all over headlines isn’t a good look. We’d constantly be under the spotlight; our lives and relationships judged. That’s not the kind of hockey player I want to be known for. Especially because we play for different teams.

Although most of my relationships outside of my marriage are passing, I’ve been pining over my best friend and teammate for years. YEARS! Just as I decide that maybe it’s time to see where this leads, management throws an unexpected play in our faces.

It might be over before it begins and I’m not sure what to do about it.

Creed

Since the day I was swapped to Buffalo, I’ve been in love with Ethan Wilder. He’s an intense player, breaking records every year. But he’s also fun, sweet, thoughtful, and gorgeous. He’s everyone’s perfect dream.

When he tells me he wants to be more than friends, I almost jump him right there in the locker room. Things between us heat up quickly and I’ve never been happier. Everything is perfect.

Except our starting line. We’ve been through four right wingmen in the last three seasons but no matter who management brings on board, they just don’t gel with me and Ethan. Now they’ve thrown us a trick play that I’m not sure we’re going to be able to work around – on the ice or off.

It’s not just the starting line we need to worry about. In fact, this complication could put the entire team – and our new relationship – on ice.

Years of rivalry and quiet resentment finally come to boiling and one of us isn’t leaving this hotel room alive. Until big words are said. And crazy actions taken. And we’re no longer fighting, even if it sort of looks like a wrestling match.

But everyone calls us the Park Avenue Princes.

Donovan “Van” Truitt

“The Model”

Wrong place. Wrong time. Right guy.

Showing up at a very indecent film shoot was an accident. I was a highly paid model. A professional. I didn’t get down and dirty for the cameras, but one look at the sex god needing a scene partner and I found myself reconsidering.

After all, with a name like Sin, a body out of my rugged lumberjack fantasies, and a head full of dirty-blond hair I wanted to grab, he was almost impossible to resist. But I did—until fate put him back in my sights.

The only problem? He was the new rising star of his industry, and that meant he came with conditions.

The proposition: If I wanted a night of “Sin,” I needed to show up for the cameras.

My terms: Make sure my identity remained a mystery.

It was only supposed to be one time, one scene. But I quickly learned that anything less than everything would never be enough with him.

Who would’ve thought my happy accident would lead to so many happy ending…s?

Jackson

Skyler Mason has had me wrapped around his little finger since we were seven years old. It doesn’t matter how ridiculous the situation, how inconvenient it might be for me, or that ninety-nine per cent of the time the mess is one of Skyler’s own making, one flash of those puppy dog eyes and it’s Jackson to the rescue.

Bringing him a fresh pair of underwear at work? Check.

Scaring off clingy hook-ups? Check.

Taking a week off so I can look after him when he’s sick? Check.

And it’s never bothered me one little bit. Because if Skyler’s happy, I’m happy. It’s as simple as that.

But now something’s happened, and for the first time in our friendship, I don’t know how to fix it.

There’s no WikiHow on what to do if your best friend suddenly realizes he has feelings for you. And even if there were, I doubt it would help; because no one else is like Skyler and me.

“Best friends” isn’t even the right term for it. We’re just us.

Or, at least, we were…

All I want is for everything to be how it used to. I don’t want Skyler to tense up when I go to touch him. I don’t want him sitting halfway across the room when we should be cuddling on the couch. And I sure as hell don’t want him staying out the whole night and not even texting to check in.

If I could snap my fingers and suddenly be attracted to him, I’d do it without question. But I know that’s not a realistic option. I’ve never been attracted to men. Truthfully, I’ve never been attracted to anyone… Not in that way, at least.

Love, on the other hand? That’s something I know a hell of a lot about.

When he learns his cousin met the love of his life with the help of a phone app, he signs up. Maybe it will work for him too.

Omega wolf shifter Channon is finishing up his last year at college and needs a thesis topic and quickly. When he overhears some students talking about the hot new dating app, he gets an idea. What if he writes his paper on the effectiveness of different dating app onboarding questions? Maybe if he’s lucky he can even squeeze an A out of it? It’s not like he will date any of them… that is until he does.

Alpha wolf shifter Zeeve has been using Love and Hate for months with no luck. It’s not that he’s picky. The app just doesn’t have anyone in his town. He decides to widen the location search and suddenly finds himself liking not one, but two men from the same small town about an hour or two away. What could it hurt to drive there for a couple of dates? Maybe one of them is his mate.

Spoiler alert: They both are.

BLURB:

When we’re both needy and tactile AF, it’s no wonder everyone thinks my best friend and I are an item. But that’s so not what’s going on.

Cassius Britton, the mouthy basketball player for the Minnesota Eagles, is my soul mate. He has been since he shared his gummy bears and let me have all the red ones.

Because that’s the kind of person he is—selfless and sweet. But he’s so much more than that. He’s the man who rescued me from my homophobic parents. He’s the man who brought me and my sister into his family home and wrapped us in love and sunshine.

All of that, and so much more, makes us soul mates—which doesn’t mean he’s meant to be mine.

And when I become a dad and have to balance being a cop in our small town while dealing with grief, of course he steps up, because that’s who Cassius is.

But when I need to get married, when I need a man to step up and be by my side, maybe Cassius is too close. Too much of a risk.

Because how can I possibly marry my best friend and not start to fall, especially when the secrets between us are so explosive, they’ll either burn us to the ground or set our hearts free forever?

BLURB:

One’s a Bear, the other a Knight. I’m their naughty little secret and they’re my ultimate fantasy.

Three years ago, I threw my cap in the air, and left Lincoln University behind, with a degree to prove I was job worthy, a trophy saying I was one hell of an athlete, and enough experiences in love to know I’d never truly been in it.

I’m successful in every aspect of my life. I’m proud of who I have become, and what I have created, so why does the thought of spending a Holiday with my college friends make me want to stoke the fire, curl up with a bottle or two of wine surrounded by my furry friends and watch all the classic holiday alone?

Two names, Dean Costello owner of Brooklyn Bears professional Ice Hockey team, and Cody Warren, superstar quarterback for the New York Knights, under the same roof… again.

I’ve played in the minors but never went pro… until now.

Jaxon Mitchell:

My days of following orders are long gone. So when Roman Sloan asked me to join the crazy band of misfits at his new security firm, I told him there was something wrong with his head. Clearly there’s something wrong with mine since somehow I still ended up the newest recruit of Atlas Security and Investigations.

My time in the military left me with some trust issues that mean I don’t play well with others, so I’ve got my doubts this gig is going to work out. For now I’m working solo and it gives me an outlet for my boredom. Not to mention a reason to mess with the hot young detective who hates my guts.

Detective Porter is all glares and threats on the outside, but deep down… yeah, deep down, I’m pretty sure he actually wants to arrest me. Could be fun though. I’m not opposed to handcuffs and the uptight detective definitely has some extra tension to burn off.

Unfortunately, the man is either completely resistant to my charms, or worse than that, he’s straight. Still, watching the way his face turns red every time I flirt has me seeking him out more than I should. And when a new case comes my way that gives me every opportunity to do just that? Of course I’m diving right in.

Except this case might be a little more than I can manage on my own and I’m going to have to learn the hard way if I can trust a team to have my back again. It’s too late to back out now, I’ve placed my bets and all that’s left is to see where the cards fall.

Detective Nathan Porter

Jaxon Mitchell is the bane of my existence. The P.I. and his agency popped up out of nowhere, and for some reason, the infuriating man has set his sights on me. And he seems determined to ruin everything I’ve worked my tail off for.

I didn’t become the youngest detective in the department by accident. I keep my nose down, follow the rules, and I get results. Those things alone have gotten me where I am, and I refuse to let some meddling P.I. mess everything up. But there he is, every time I turn around, flashing those smiles as he solves another one of my cases like he’s done me a favor.

The man is reckless and allergic to rules. I deal with criminals all day, every day, but somehow Jaxon Mitchell is the one man I can’t handle.

So when my latest case becomes personal, the last person I want to see nosing around is the insufferable P.I. who sees just a little too much. But there he is, just like always, ready to unravel all of my deepest secrets.
