The only way out is up.
Lord Cay is desperate. Adrio, his husband, has grown cold and distant, and Cay can’t fathom why. Unless Adrio somehow found out about Cay’s appalling past, but Cay has taken care to hide it from him. Lying to the man he loves is painful, but it’s better than the alternative: losing Adrio forever.
Meanwhile, rumors swirl of a mysterious hero who rescues captives from the labor camps of Muntegri and magically flies them over the mountains to safety. When a cruel enemy agent blackmails Cay for information about this aviator, Cay makes a rash decision. He knows nothing and can’t turn to his husband for help without revealing the truth about his past. The only thing he can do is lie even more.
Each new falsehood succeeds in misleading the enemy, but it also drives another wedge between Cay and Adrio. Forced to choose between love and honor, Cay must decide where his loyalties truly lie. And the Uncanny Aviator may be the key to everything, including saving their marriage.

Until now.

Perry
You know that saying, keep your friends close and your enemies closer? Well, whoever said that never had the misfortune of meeting Roman Auclair.
Sure, he’s sexy and wears a corset like nobody’s business, but he’s arrogant, entitled and so damn judgemental he should sit on the Supreme Court.
I’d rather sleep with a porcupine than bunk with him.
But I promised my brother I’d help and I’m a man of my word.
It’s not like falling in love with my complete opposite is possible anyway.
In fact, I’m pretty certain I’ll always be single.
Roman
You know that saying about stereotypical frat boys? Young, dumb and full of—yeah, that one. Nobody wears that dated cliché more than Perry Attwater.
Except he’s a good 15 years removed from college.
Sure, he fits every one of my lumberjack fantasies, but the man doesn’t know the difference between lace and linen. He’s crude, messy, and unashamed about his lack of fashion sense.
I’d rather use my best fabric scissors to chop wood than share a space with him.
But I promised my best friend I’d make our shared accommodations work.
It’s not like I’ll fall in love with a plaid loving mountain man. Love is for losers.
And I always win.

On paper, they’re a disaster. In the sheets, they’re a perfect match.
Kent Lester is proud of the joyful, thriving learning community he’s created as principal of Lear Elementary School. But seven years after his divorce, he’s ready to focus on his personal life and spread his bisexual wings. Things get off to a rocky start when Kent’s first date is an uptight control freak — although that doesn’t stop them tangling some sheets.
Vincent Manda never seems able to move past the friend zone, and besides, he’s not sure anyone can handle his OCD. But that night with the bearded, older Kent revealed a side of Vincent he’d never experienced before. And he’s equal parts scared of and desperate for a repeat.
When Lear’s test scores take a nosedive, Kent finds himself under the microscope. Forced to implement new software to monitor and collect school data, he’s horrified to discover that Vincent is working on the project. With his last install ending less than ideally, Vincent’s job depends on this one succeeding — and butting heads with the principal won’t help.
Vincent and Kent need to view each other in a new light, but that could change their futures forever.

If this job’s taught me anything, it’s that emotions are a complication, and complications lead to distraction. Though nothing can prepare me for the onslaught of emotion when Luke is kidnapped. I’m hit with the glaring truth: I’ll risk it all to save him.
Even if that means losing everything.

Angelo Voltini can seduce anyone he sets his eyes on, but now that he’s forty, his hookup habit is wearing thin. He wants something real but doesn’t know how to get it. When his mentor dies and a business-saving inheritance hinges on Angelo being in a committed relationship, he impulsively nominates his newest tenant for the job.
Bryan Gillespie is recently paroled and still finding his footing in the outside world. He barely has time to be a good brother, uncle, and employee, never mind think of romance. Angelo’s shocking proposal—fake it for a percentage—catches him off-guard. And intrigues him. Bryan is attracted to Angelo in all the right (and wrong) ways, but he’s leery of dating his landlord—even if the relationship is supposedly fake.
Their chemistry is real and explosive, and neither man can resist the other’s pull. But what kind of future can two men have when what they’re building is set on a foundation of lies?

Tired of the London rat race and the heartbreak that comes with it, photographer Jas Manning returns to Porth Ewan, the Cornish seaside town where he spent every childhood summer on his father’s farm. Resigned to year-round rain, wind, and homemade jam, he’s sorely unprepared for the impact that artsy carpenter Kim Penrose has on his heart.
Kim’s free-loving reputation precedes him, and he’s as generous with his inked-up body as he is with his time. The sex is hot, the easy friendship even better, and Jas’s time with him building his family’s new farmhouse canteen is everything Jas was missing in his empty city life.
But Kim’s carefree existence isn’t as simple as it appears. He’s worked hard to vanquish his demons and build his dreams, but the devil on his shoulder is ruthless, and when it comes to call, their happy bubble bursts like it was never there at all. The canteen opening looms, but Kim is gone in more ways than one, and it’s down to Jas to shore up Kim’s soul and convince him that he deserves his place in Jas’s heart.

A few late night deep conversations between the two of us, only the midnight sky our witness, and suddenly, I can’t look away. Can’t keep my mind off of him.
It’s in the way he works around the yard, sweaty and shirtless. The way his eyes soften and he leans into his playful side around his daughter. And it’s in the way he makes me feel seen. The way he’s slowly chipping away at my exterior without even realizing it.

Eventually, I started a wilderness and survival experience to teach people what to do in case of disaster or a life-or-death situation.

Without my bear, I’d have died within a week —not that I would have minded at the time —but now that sanity had returned, I needed a job and wanted to help others.

But I can’t stay at home like a child, with no point to my existence. I need a fresh start. A new way to live. Maybe even a mate.
When I get a letter from the Bearclaw Inn, inviting me for the weekend, I jump at the chance to not only have some time to think but a shot at finding an alpha who will want a wayward wolf like me.

Asilo Pack lives in the shadows protecting those without a voice.

I joined Steelwick with one goal in mind; make a difference. And make a difference I did… only not the good kind. Because of me an Alpha was nearly convicted of a crime he didn’t commit. Steelwick’s Alpha Elect tells me it is a life’s lesson in action. Tell that to the poor alpha who’s life I almost stole.
I’m no longer going on missions, not trusting myself to be the enforcer they need. But when my Alpha Elect tells me that someone from my former pack is here and needs Steelwick’s help, I can’t decline. Only problem; They forgot to mention that Thomas is currently a member of Aisilo—the pride where I botched everything up.
Thomas
For weeks it was as if my cat had gone crazy, scenting things that weren’t there. Finally I couldn’t take it anymore. My mate had visited Asilo territory, I was sure of it. Only I hadn’t met them so I had no idea where they were. When I tracked them to the Steelwick pride, I threw caution to the wind in order to face them. I just hoped I wasn’t too late.
