When Scott first set eyes on Anton, he knew the guy was dangerous. He’s part of the Irish mafia and that’s never been a secret. That’s who financed Scott’s startup, so he can’t judge. Not to mention, Scott is a little wild and he can’t stop himself from chasing a sexy man, dangerous or not. If anything, Scott finds Anton twice as hot because of the risk. He has no idea what he’s started.
Anton knew about Scott’s reputation. He thought he only wanted a bit of fun, too. After all, dating him isn’t for the weak and his job has its pitfalls for anyone close to him. They were no big deal.

As Ash and Ramsay work together and their feelings for each other grow, Ash discovers their mission is more dangerous than he imagined, pitting them against influential and powerful alchemists—Ash’s estranged father included.

I’m a walking disaster.
I’m awkward, perpetually uncomfortable, and afraid of everything. Truly an example of natural selection at its worst.
After a series of dead-end jobs, I’m now working with my disappointed dad as a ball boy for his team of superstars. It’s the only thing I’ve got going for me, even if I know it’s only a matter of time before I fail epically.
Then I meet them.
World-famous soccer players Dalton Cross and Juandi Fernandez couldn’t be any more different. While one relishes control in all aspects of his life, the other takes everything day by day. They’re polar opposites, always butting heads, and always trying to one-up the other.
Somehow they both want me.
Dalton makes me feel safe, protected, and cherished—something no one’s ever cared to do before. Juandi makes me feel wild, free, and courageous—something that was sorely lacking in my sheltered life.
Being with them is a dream I never thought possible for someone like me, but the secrets we buried are surfacing, and I’m worried about what this means for our future together. I’ve never been the main character—never been the chosen one.
But this time, I’m willing to do whatever it takes to hold on to the two things I can’t afford to lose.

He is dedicated to two things—nurturing his skills and dreaming of a life with Gabriel. But not everyone reveres his gifts, and destiny-touched men and women like him are hunted.
The Marwoods consider Gabriel one of their own, but his past is a heavy burden he cannot forget. Which is why it annoys him each time he notices how beautiful Eric is or how much fun they have together aiding ghosts.
Sex is the only way to find a soulmate in their world, and Eric is determined to seduce Gabriel. As for Gabriel, he is desperate to ignore his own urges. Life has a funny way of changing in an instant, and neither man truly knows what the future holds.

The heart always wants what it can’t have…
Duty, honor, and sacrifice.
Dedicating my life to these elements, for family and country, leaves little for myself in return.
It’s why I indulge in a no-strings hookup with a handsome stranger mere days before heading half-a-world away.
Except one night turns into a week-long fling, creating a connection at the most inopportune time.
And neither of us want it to end.
Staying in touch is easy at first, but dwindles to radio silence and distant memories as time passes.
I didn’t expect him to reemerge in my life months later, now belonging to someone else.
It should be enough for us both to walk away.
To push down this relentless, aching want.
But we don’t…
We can’t.
Because the heart always wants what it can’t have.
