Everything I ever desired was within my grasp. Until a fateful day altered its trajectory.

I have an instinctive desire to care for and protect him. However, I can’t help but wonder—would he be interested in an older man?

My life has been far from what one might label as perfect. It seems as if every choice I make is predestined for failure.
When the storms of life rage their fiercest, an unexpected opportunity arises, offering me the chance to start over.
But no matter how hard I try to do the right things, it seems as if the universe conspires against me. I’m dealt one suffocating blow after another. The voices telling me I’m not worth it grow louder until I can’t ignore them anymore.
Then he appears—the man whose eyes radiate gentleness and kindness. However, I carry a warning of trouble.
As much as I crave him, the painful truth is, I can never have him.

So, then why can’t he seem to stay away from the brooding new kid at school? Ash makes no secret of the fact that he wants to be left alone. Yet, there’s just something about him that tugs at Dylan’s soul and makes him eager to help.
As Ash struggles to maintain the walls he’s spent years building around himself, Dylan tries everything he can to bring them crashing down. And as Ash’s iron grip on his power begins to slip, he may need to make a choice.

Every year, the MBA candidates fight for internships all across the city. Somehow, I managed to land the most sought-after position in Massachusetts. I’m personal assistant to Timothy Hark, billionaire, CEO, and one of the most handsome men I’ve ever seen in my life.
The problem? He’s my boss now, nearly twice my age, a jerk, and he has a girlfriend. However, that hasn’t stopped him from gawking whenever I’m near him. I can’t deny I’ve been fantasizing about having him as my Daddy, and how he looks at me gives me the idea that he wouldn’t mind either.
It’s not until the office Christmas party that our strictly professional relationship takes a turn. When he drags me into an empty conference room by my collar, I assume he’s about to knock my teeth out. I never expected him to kiss me or to call me his Boy.
It should have stopped there. But despite our trepidation, we can’t keep our hands off of one another, even during office hours when we could be caught at any moment. Tim’s even starting to be sweet on me.
Then, Tim’s ex-girlfriend walks through the door, saying she wants to marry him. I could lose him forever if he says yes. But if I tell anyone about our forbidden romance, I can kiss my degree, my job, and my new Daddy goodbye.

The gentleman, the hot mess, and a little British adventure…
Raine
Moving to London is scary and daunting, but I desperately need this new job–and a redo. Okay, so I may have oversold my qualifications. That shouldn’t be a big deal, though. I mean, being an assistant’s assistant seems easy enough, and I’m a fast learner.
Except…I’m already in over my head with spreadsheets, new pronunciations, and temperamental appliances. And just as I’m mentally preparing to face going home early, the big boss offers me an opportunity I can’t refuse. And I definitely should because Graham Horsham is an infuriating, complicated grumpy bear with a razor-sharp tongue, a wickedly dry sense of humor, and…I like him far too much.
Help!
Graham
I’ve been bamboozled. I’m not quite sure how I ended up with an assistant who spills coffee daily, wears wrinkled shirts, and chatters nonstop. He can’t stay, but I don’t want him to go either. That isn’t like me.
And the timing couldn’t be worse. The Horsham Group is about to close one of our biggest deals ever, and I won’t jeopardize it. This one is personal.
Yet so is Raine.
He’s a breath of fresh air—silly, impetuous, lighthearted, good-natured, and…quite lovely. I like him more than I want to admit.
But not to worry…I will not, under any circumstances, fall for Raine.

Our Fated mate.
Rio
My life has never been my own. My ruthless father and mess of a mother control it. All I want is to spend my days without looking over my shoulder and without the fear of getting so close to someone that my crime-boss father will use them against me.
At twenty-two, I’m tired, unloved, and live a dull, empty existence.
Until he walks into my world—all intense eyes and broody growls that don’t sound human.
Now, there’s no going back. Not when my soul recognizes his. All that’s left to decide is how far am I willing to go to escape my toxic family so I can start anew with the man who makes me feel more in a matter of moments than I have in my whole life.

He does not expect his surly, ginger bear of a neighbor to slide right under his skin and stay there. Or for Russell to develop a fast friendship with Patrick’s son.
A mild flirtation between Patrick and Russell turns into more than either man expects or knows how to deal with. They both want to protect their damaged hearts, but sometimes it takes a leap of faith to find true love.

As pack alpha and leader of the West Coast Coyotes, Esteban had a lot of people who counted on him. After the sudden and suspicious death of his wife, he went into a depression that kept him from being the man, father and alpha he knew he could be. Not because he missed her so much, but because of the guilt he felt for not missing her enough. She was a good woman and mother, but he never loved her. Theirs was a marriage of convenience that produced the true love of his life. His baby girl.
Mateo was one of the few omegas who had climbed the ranks of the West Coast Coyotes. Most of that was the result of his hard work and above-average strength, but the other guys still attributed it to his other position…as Esteban’s best friend. They grew up together and Este never treated him like an omega. He respected Mateo and trusted him with his life, which is why Mateo was the only person who could step in and help out with Stella after her mother’s death.
Esteban just needed some time to figure things out before getting back into the groove of his daily life again, but when the rumors of a threat became more serious, he quickly realized that Mateo was more than just his friend and nanny. He was…more. Always had been. They just needed to get out of their own ways to accept the fact that they were meant to be mates all along.

Fisher Cats’ Hale and Brewer Engaged: College Sweethearts or Fake Relationship?
On the eve of their first playoff game this post-season, the Toronto Fisher Cats organization sent out a press release announcing the engagement of their top d-pair.
The release insinuates the childhood friends may have been involved as far back as college and makes it clear the front office supports the relationship. “We are confident that such a longstanding relationship will be nothing but beneficial to Felix in his recovery.”
Reactions are mixed.
An anonymous inside source stated, “Legit? No way. This whole thing’s a PR stunt to soften the public’s perception of Hale.”
One fan commented, “Hale & Brewer have always been so adorable together! It’s great they finally feel comfortable being out about their relationship!”
While many fans are similarly supportive, others speculate that the announcement is tied to the Cats’ shaky play of late. “We all know they’re not gonna make it past the first round,” one fan stated. “It’s just an attempt to distract from how weak the team is.”
Adding fuel to the controversy, Hale shared an image of the players naked in bed together and captioned, “Pre-game nap with Jonah before we take on the Montreal Lynx. Go, Cats!”
PR stunt or happily engaged couple? Only time will tell.
