Soon he’ll be leaving to take an advanced wine course that will put him on track to become a master sommelier. Meantime, his OCD demands he keep clear of distractions, especially the hot new hire at his aunt and uncle’s restaurant, Martin’s Place.

Forgetting to Knock Changed Everything.
Cam
When I was ten, I made a promise. One that I’m still honoring a decade later, even though it means hiding a part of myself from the most important person in my life.
My best friend, Jagger.
And truthfully, burying that part of me is a small price to pay if it means nothing comes between us. I’m Jagger’s rock, the one stable thing in his life, and I’ve held that role for so long it’s now central to who I am. Which is why, after he sees something he shouldn’t and gets an idea that he wants my help with, I’m faced with the biggest decision of my life.
Saying yes could break me, but saying no could break us. I guess there isn’t really a choice, is there?
Jagger
There I was, innocently letting myself into my teammate’s room to search for some protein powder, when I came across a different type of protein altogether.
I learned two things that day. Knock first, and straight guys might be missing out.
As usual when I have an epiphany, I turn to my best friend Cam for help, and learn another two things. Neither of us is as straight as I thought, and I’m not the only one who needs protecting.
Hopefully I can be as strong for him as he’s been for me.

I never thought my life would change so much when I decided to switch careers and dive into sports marketing with the Portland Lumberjacks hockey team.

Oakley Young is settling into his new life, finding his place and himself in the process. Including changing his name. Oak Mulligan is who he wants to be, and it’s the first step to healing. He still has a lot of trauma to unpack but he’s working on it. When his bestie Charlie informs him that his brother Law and the kids are moving in, Oak is just as excited as everybody else. The Caldwell family will fit right in. But Oak isn’t prepared for the instant attraction to spark between him and Law. He knew the older man was hot, but their first meeting a few weeks before didn’t equip him for the lust. Or for the way Law would keep him at arm’s length.
Law has only been attracted to a few men in his life and he misinterprets the affection and protectiveness he feels for Oak as brotherly at first. But as he realizes how deep his feelings run, he knows there’s too much in their way. The age gap and their familial connections are enough to push down his growing feelings. But Oak is too enticing to ignore, and the closer they become, the deeper the attraction goes. One kiss changes everything and sets the two men on a path with bumps they have to navigate. It’ll take work on their communication, and figuring out how to fit their lives together, but there’s no doubt that the love growing between them is the kind to last a lifetime.

“You’re not real. Felix Ingesson is dead.”
The war with the alien stin is over, but Felix Ingesson has given up on seeing his lover, Zander Anatolius, ever again. Zander’s military file is sealed tighter than an airlock. A former prisoner of war, Felix is attempting a much quieter life keeping his ship, the Chaos, aloft. He almost succeeds, until Zander walks on board and insists that Felix isn’t real.
A retired, broken super soldier, Zander is reeling from the aftereffects of his experimental training and wants nothing more than to disappear and wait for insanity to claim him. Then he sees footage of a friend and ally—a super soldier like him—murdering an entire security squad with her bare hands and a cold, dead look in her eyes. He never expected to find Felix, the man he’d thought dead for years, on the ship he hired to track her down.
Working with Felix to rescue his teammate is a dream come true…and a nightmare. Zander has no exit strategy that will leave Felix unscathed—or his own heart unbroken.

When the ruthless Agrius Cartel seeks their revenge—including an ambush and an attempt to kidnap the Chaos’s crew—Zander is pushed over the edge. He can no longer hide his symptoms, nor does he want to. But hurting Felix when he’s not in control of himself is Zander’s worst nightmare—when it nearly happens, he agrees to seek help. Even if that means trusting the unknown.
As Zander places his life in alien hands, Felix appoints himself his lover’s keeper. And though he tries to be strong, he can’t ignore the fact that he might lose Zander…forever this time.

A race against time and nature, to save the man he loves…
Owen Hewitt thought he had weathered every storm life could throw at him, but the last twelve months have tested him like never before. His six-year relationship with Sebastian Carmichael, the love of his life, is crumbling under the weight of Owen’s injury-induced depression and chronic pain. Once a vibrant and active partner, Owen now feels like a burden, believing he’s holding the younger Sebastian back.
Desperation sets in when Sebastian, seeking solace and clarity, retreats to their holiday house on the Tasmanian coast. The distance between them feels insurmountable, and Owen fears it’s the end of their love story. But as nature unleashes its fury in the form of a devastating tsunami, the end of their relationship might be the least of their worries.
Riding the Waves is an expansion of Sebastian & Owen, a story that was briefly available in 2016. The story now includes Sebastian’s point of view.

Ozzo and his fellow pirates aren’t averse to a little kidnap and ransom. But their victims don’t usually volunteer themselves.
Merchant Zakaria wants revenge. His parents just threw away everything he did for their family business and made his younger sister their heir. Fine. He’ll get abducted by pirates and they’ll soon see what a mistake they’ve made.
Except they don’t. When his family refuses to pay the ransom Zakaria realises the danger he’s in. The pirates still need a payoff. If he’s not to be sold into slavery, he needs to make himself useful. Quickly. But it’s hard to think straight when irritatingly attractive pirate Ozzo keeps pushing him off-balance with his muscles and his grin and his gruff protectiveness which Zakaria never knew he wanted before.
Zakaria wants to trust Ozzo to keep him safe, but he trusted his family and look where that left him. These people are pirates, and definitely not to be trusted – whatever his heart says.

If Doug ‘Long Shot’ Swanson wanted a new work partner he’d hire one himself. He’s perfectly happy on his own and if he plays his cards right he’ll retire sooner rather than later. And he certainly wouldn’t hire an irritating spicy-candy-eating slacker who’d probably miss his own funeral.
But somebody is killing off agents and Nick’s new boss needs Doug and Nick to figure out who it is and put a stop to it. And if they accidentally fall in love along the way that is no one’s business but their own.
Neither man wants to be a hero. But maybe between the two of them, they can save the world. Or at least their little corner of it.

BLURB:
Oliver is a rarity in the shifter world. A lone wolf omega. Leaving his pack isn’t a decision he regrets, but it was for the best. Even so, there are times when he doubts whether he made the right call. Especially when he notices the same group of alphas showing up wherever he goes.
They’re all gorgeous and his wolf is certainly interested, but his rational brain is sending up alarm bells.
Who are they? Why are they following him? And why can’t he seem to keep his eyes off them?

“Hate is learned, hunter. And I see you were a very good student.”
“Thanks. I try.”
Julian Jackson, demon hunter, doesn’t expect his latest mission to end with him accidentally adopting the demon he was supposed to capture, but tiny Desi immediately wraps JJ around her little finger—and wakes up all his brotherly protective instincts. Hiding her in the midst of the hunters’ headquarters is a challenge, but he’s determined to make it work… until another demon breaks in and abducts her.
Cassius Chin, demon, is dumbfounded to learn that the demon toddler he just saved from the evil hunter didn’t actually want to be rescued—and that Desi wants her JJ back. Meeting with the hunter to discuss joint custody over their jointly kidnapped daughter is a new low in Cass’s immortal life, and co-parenting her with JJ is an exercise in patience… and several other emotions he doesn’t want to examine too closely.
As JJ and Cass raise Desi together, they slowly realize that they’re more alike than they ever would’ve expected—and that their growing attraction to each other is stronger than the hatred they’ve always taken for granted. But when their makeshift family is threatened by hunters and demons alike, will they return to the safety of their old lives or risk everything to build a new future together?
