Two broken men. One chance at love. A connection neither can deny. And a claiming they both need.
Cooper Jackson served his country honorably; he came home damaged but determined. In the blink of an eye, he went from soldier to bartender, back home slinging drinks at his family’s bar. He expects quiet, solitude, the same bar regulars he’s known since childhood, and for his grandfather to be all up in his business. What he doesn’t expect is to be dumbstruck when the mountain-man version of Adonis, aka Gage Holloway, walks into his bar. And he certainly doesn’t expect their obvious instant connection. But when Gage denies that connection and all but ignores him, Cooper makes it his mission to tame this surly mountain man. And as a former Army Ranger, Cooper is no stranger to difficult missions… or difficult men.
Gage Holloway moved to Fire Mountain to escape his past—the job he never wanted, the family that never understood him, and the crushing guilt and grief of his former life. He ruins everything (and everyone) he touches, so now he just wants to be left alone where he can’t hurt anyone else. He nurses a drink at the local bar most nights sat alone in a secluded booth, so he can feel like he’s still part of the world without actually engaging it. He was fine on his own until a blond-haired, brown-eyed temptation in the form of the most beautiful man he’s ever seen upends his carefully-crafted, solitary existence. But there’s a reason Gage avoids human connection, and he’s not about to let Cooper Jackson make him forget… even if that’s the one thing his heart most wants.

Wally and Bez have survived a city bent on slaughtering them and a vengeful demon stalking them inside a dimension-traveling villa. Now, these two must enter Hell itself in order to save the world. Well, all the worlds, actually.
Life in their private oasis has allowed Wally time to train his newly acquired devil’s essence. Bez has also learned to accept the calmer elements of the day-to-day without fear of looming threats. But news of Wally’s Diabolic ascension has traveled, and now, he’s invited to step into the Hell realm of one of the mightiest devils to reign over the universe. If he declines the invitation, it means signing a death sentence for everyone in their world as devils don’t take kindly to rejection. But one misstep in Hell will cost Wally and Bez their lives.
Bez refuses to lose Wally. He’d much rather see the world burn than risk Wally’s life, but since his insufferable boyfriend insists on doing the so-called right thing, Bez serves as his guide in Hell. There’s not much Bez can do against a devil, but he can protect Wally from saying or doing something that’ll offend. In order to survive, they’ll have to flip their roles: Wally will have to walk into Hell with the confidence of a devil and take charge in a way he’s never done before, while Bez will have to hold back his impulsivity and strategize their way through this deadly party.

A string of bad boyfriends has me questioning my taste in men. They’re either jealous of my job as a dancer at a strip club, or they use it as an opportunity to try hooking up with my friends. It also doesn’t help that my big brother is the definition of overprotective, meaning nobody is ever good enough for me.
When I notice his best friend—his very straight, very good-looking best friend—at the club where I work more than once, I wonder if maybe he’s not as out of my reach as I once thought he was.
Jensen
My life is pretty simple, which is totally fine with me. I work remotely, spend time with my best friend, Nick, and ride my motorcycle. I’ve had a few girlfriends here and there, but nobody recently, and definitely not anyone serious.
When my boss has his bachelor party at a local all-male strip club, I know I have to make an appearance. Then I notice a fit body attached to a familiar face. I wasn’t expecting to see my best friend’s brother dancing onstage, but I also wasn’t prepared for the feelings watching him perform brought out in me.

It’s Dash’s second Halloween in Hastings Rock, and this year, he’s determined to have a normal spooky season—he’s going to hang out with his friends, hand out lots of candy, and seize every available opportunity for snuggles with a certain deputy.
Fate, though, has other things in store.
When Dash’s friend Keme is arrested for murder, Dash assumes it’s a misunderstanding—after all, this is Keme we’re talking about. But it turns out, not everyone in Hastings Rock trusts Keme. Or likes him. In fact, plenty of people are downright afraid of him, and for them, the arrest confirms what they’ve always suspected: that Keme is a seriously bad apple. And when Keme’s clothes turn up not far from the scene of the crime, covered in the victim’s blood, it’s the final piece of proof for the court of public opinion.
It’ll be up to Dash to prove Keme’s innocence.

While Gene relies on his gut that something more sinister is afoot, Jack knows the killer isn’t an animal, and it’s certainly not a human.
To catch the murderer, Jack and Gene must set their differences aside and learn to work together. But the closer they become, the more the lines blur between personal and professional. When the case takes an unexpected turn, Gene learns there’s more to his partner’s world than he ever imagined, and he has to dive headfirst into it, whether he’s ready or not.

But love? That’s always been just out of reach.
Then he sees Kai Daniels—a man too raw, too vulnerable, and too damn captivating to ignore—being used by someone who doesn’t deserve him. And Lucien doesn’t hesitate. He steps in, knowing full well that some things aren’t meant to be owned.
But Kai’s past isn’t ready to let him go. His tormentor is powerful, relentless, and determined to make them both pay. As the stakes rise, Lucien is forced to become the man he’s kept buried—the one who doesn’t just play the game but makes sure his enemies never play again.
Now, with danger closing in and their connection burning hotter than ever, Lucien and Kai must decide if they’re willing to risk everything for a love that was never part of the plan.

Best friends since childhood, they couldn’t have more opposite views on love. Vincent wants to settle down with the right person, despite pressure from his father to marry once he’s named captain. Sivan, however, finds the idea of love and marriage laughable.
Reunited after months apart as their fathers’ ships patrolled opposite ends of the seas, Vincent and Sivan share a bottle of rum in the ship’s storage room. A moment of curiosity steeped in hidden desire, filthy with lust, leads to a very hot and heavy night of rum-soaked awakenings…
But no one can know about this, no one can find out, or their promotions as captains, and the trust of their fathers, may be altogether shattered.

Blackwood is a typical Alpha jock in every way– from being a rising football star to the broad muscular body that looked like he could squash a watermelon between his thighs. I could use his red flags to sew a king size quilt.
And for some reason, the Alpha assh*le is suddenly everywhere I turn, pushing my buttons and testing my boundaries until I snap.
One night.
One mistake.
One taste of him has me craving the life I swore I didn’t want.
But there’s one thing I can’t let myself forget…he’s not mine.
