BLURB:

How to handle a grumpy vet?…

Ryde

I’ve been crushing on my boss, Linus, for years now. So when my best friend, Dario, starts working at the clinic for six months, I know he can help me. He’s way better with guys than I am. I’m excited. Things with Linus might finally progress.

Dario

I’m an idiot for thinking moving to Scuttlebutt would help me get over my feelings for my bestie. All it does is amplify them even more. As if things weren’t messy enough, I catch feelings for my new boss, Linus. Oh boy. If I’m not careful, I could lose my best friend and my job.

Linus

Ryde is my best mate’s son and my employee. Dario is his best friend and also my employee. They’re very different, yet I’m attracted to both of them. But I’m a closed-off grump, used to being alone. I’ve never been able to open up to one guy—how on earth am I supposed to make it work with two?

Reis has spent a year trying to keep the spirit of Anver-Kasyova alive, running Rainbow Bridge, a grassroots rescue network smuggling civilians out of war-torn Anver. It’s all they and Edgar can do in the wake of the destruction of the cities’ connecting bridge.

But when the Kasyovan Bureau arrests Reis, what should be the end turns into an unexpected new beginning: an invitation to lead the very country they’ve been fighting to save. Inducted into the Shadow Government, Reis becomes a reluctant President, aware they’re a pawn, but powerless to say no. The Shadow Government has leverage…and a secret weapon: a powerful

AI named Oracle, whose capability even surprises Edgar.

As Reis takes the helm, they uncover a darker truth—Nation Builders, Inc. (formerly the Killing Committee) is operating out of the ruins of the former seat of government, the Pyramid, to manipulate global regimes. And they’ve built their own AI.

Now, Reis must outwit the puppet masters who shattered their home, confront betrayals on every front, and hold on to Edgar—and their dream of a free, reunified Twin City-States of Anver-Kasyova.

He just wants them to be okay again. So he take time off work, even though it’s fire season, and goes to the Barn to coax Q into living his life.

The two of them have never lost their fire for each other, but they have to work through a lot of guilt and fear, and then deal with Frost going back to a dangerous job, before they might even see if they can make it work.

My unlikely rescuer?
A gorgeous stranger who plants one breathtaking, reckless kiss on me in the middle of a crowded bar—sending my ex packing… and stealing my carefully guarded heart.

Tommy Marian kissed me like he knew me.
Like he wanted me.
Like I was his.
Like he was mine.

But he’s not.

He’s a straight, ambitious city doctor—here in paradise for his own damn wedding.
And I’m going home alone, as usual.

Six months later, I land a dream search and rescue gig in Legacy, Montana.
One summer. A break from my coupled-up friends. Zero distractions.

Except guess who’s freshly single… and bunking in my tiny cabin? The biggest distraction of my life.

Tommy Marian is still beautiful, still infuriating, and still everything I can’t want.

He says what happens in Legacy stays in Legacy.
I say I’m not even tempted.
At least one of us is lying.

Because when Tommy disappears on the mountain, I realize I’d burn the world to get him back…
And maybe this time, I won’t let him go.

And his new interior design business kicked off with a bang.

All he’s missing is for Kingston Porter, his large, grumpy and completely oblivious friend, to realize that he wants to climb him like a tree.

The problem is, Kingston’s dream walking has gone from exploring the creepier parts of their little beach town to being drawn inside the mansion of a man he’s never met before, and it’s starting to consume his every waking thought.

Skylar’s nothing if not an optimist, and he isn’t ready to give up hope. He’s just not sure fate is still on his side.

There’s something more sinister going on than the two men realize, and it’ll take them working together to save the souls being tormented in their dreams.

But with the help of their meddlesome family, a handful of friendly ghosts, and a psychopomp or two, Kingston and Skylar are on the road to becoming the protectors they never knew they were destined to be.

Greg Lampeter hung out a shingle after years at a large law firm and is beginning to have some success. When a new client walks through his door, he’s intrigued by the case and the cause it represents and agrees to take it on principal. What he doesn’t expect is the man with him to capture his attention so completely.

Assistant swimming coach Mark Baker only came to the appointment as moral support for his friend, Steven. He doesn’t expect the lawyer to be so understanding and supportive, and he certainly doesn’t expect the spark of attraction that pulls at him almost from the moment they shake hands.

Both men are determined to remain professional for Steven’s sake, for the help he needs in dealing with the college and a serious issue with one of the assistant Lacrosse coaches. As facts come to light, it’s clear that Greg is going to have to walk a close line to ensure that Steven gets the justice he deserves, and to protect Mark and their budding relationship from becoming collateral damage.

By the time his lies unravel, it’s too late.

He’s already marked me as his.

 

Now I’m locked in his tower,

trapped behind security gates, watched by bodyguards,

loved too fiercely by a man who would destroy everything to keep me.

You don’t walk away from the devil.

Not when he’s decided you’re his.

As he was shoving me out the door, he muttered something about my dads and a meat hook. I have no idea what he’s talking about. Sure, my dads are… intense. But it’s not like they’d actually kill a man for defiling their son.

He wants to vanish—erase every trace of who he was—but somehow, the people of the Hall look past the scars and silence, seeing strength in his survival and hope where he sees only failure.

As co-founder of Guardian Hall, Dr. Marcus Stirling has spent years helping others rebuild—but despite everything he has seen, he carries the weight of his own mistakes and the hard-fought sobriety he has achieved. He’s seen so much, but nothing prepared him for the broken man standing on the roof that night, burned, scarred, and barely holding on.

What begins as a fragile connection between doctor and patient slowly deepens, each moment drawing them closer until desire becomes impossible to deny. But love has never been safe.

Because even when there’s nothing left… hope can still survive.

When you think you have everything you need, fate will show you all you never knew you were missing.

Wesley Barlowe has it all. He’s a highly successful divorce attorney at one of Boston’s most prestigious law firms. His name is on the rosters of many elite clubs, his clothes are from famed designers, and his historic duplex overlooks Boston Common. His lovers are few and far between by choice, his car is a sporty hybrid, and his bourbon is always aged in white oak barrels. There are no surprises in Wesley’s tightly structured life. Until his estranged sister dies, leaving her three-year-old daughter in his custody. With no other family to pass the child off to, Wesley has no other option but to take his niece into his home.

Instead of spending his days in court and his nights at home studying briefs while sipping on triple mash twenty-year-old whiskey, he now finds himself joining single-parent online groups, waffling about how to handle temper tantrums, and how to entertain a rambunctious preschooler. During a particularly rough morning, she spies a musician on the Common singing to a small group of children. At his wit’s end, he carries his niece across the street and discovers that not only do the children seated on rainbow blankets adore the handsome, funny, and charming performer, but Wesley does too. There is something incredibly calming and warm about Lennon Cole and his silly songs. Something that will show the workaholic that there is more to life than litigations, courtroom wins, and million-dollar settlements.

But while he’s working up the courage to tell her how he feels, he also begins to develop feelings for his new architect.

Olivia Riley’s number one priority in life is her daughter. With preschool about to start, Olivia takes a job working for Jace so she can spend more time at home than her bartending shifts allow.

But she’s tired of pretending she isn’t in love with him and when an attractive architect becomes a regular fixture in their lives, Olivia finds herself wondering how they all fit together.

Kayden Meacham is not looking for a relationship, but he can’t stop things from progressing with his client, Jace, despite the knowledge that Jace is in love with someone else—someone Kayden finds himself thinking about more and more.

Now I’m not just rebuilding my career. I’m learning what it means to be wanted. To be chosen. To be loved, wholly and without condition.

So when a world-famous designer invites me back to New York for the most high-profile fashion event of the year, I freeze. Going back means facing the city and the trauma I left behind. It could launch my career into the stratosphere or shatter everything I’ve worked to rebuild.

BLURB:

What happens when a prince falls for the undercover agent pretending to be his bodyguard?

Nicholas

I’m the spare, the younger brother of the Prince of Wales. Ever since I was propelled up the order of succession, my job description has been: Exist. Don’t embarrass the Crown. Repeat.

After a security scandal, I’m assigned a new bodyguard. A hulking, brooding Irishman who glowers at me like I’ve personally offended his ancestors. He’s the first to be completely immune to my charm, which is rather inconvenient when you’ve always wielded wit like a defensive weapon.

And why I feel the need to continue trying to impress Officer O’Connell is anyone’s guess.

My upcoming royal tour of Australia and New Zealand should be a nice chance to escape the British winter and bask in some Southern Hemisphere sunshine. But it turns out that representing the monarchy in former colonial countries means confronting some uncomfortable truths about how all those Crown Jewels ended up in my family’s vaults.

And the whole visit would really be far more enjoyable if someone wasn’t trying to kill me.

Eoin

I’ve clawed my way from the slums of Ireland to the top level of Scotland Yard’s undercover agents. But a deep security breach within the force has me investigating my own colleagues while playing bodyguard to a privileged prince on a tour Down Under.

Something about Prince Nicholas gets under my skin like shrapnel I can’t dig out.

Still, I’m a professional. I can handle one posh git with a smart mouth.

But as we navigate koala cuddling sessions, didgeridoo lessons, and deadly spiders in hotel rooms, I see beneath Nicholas’s princely façade. I’m supposed to uncover which of my fellow bodyguards is a threat to Prince Nicholas, not become obsessed with the most complex, fascinating pain in my arse I’ve ever met.

The line between duty and desire blurs with each passing day and the danger to Nicholas intensifies.

How can I maintain my cover, protect Nicholas, and resist the urge to press him against the nearest wall and kiss that smirk off his face?

When a newcomer to the castle seems to catch Bennan’s eye, Chamis assumes he’s doomed—until Perian goes out of his way to assure Chamis that those feelings he has for Bennan are reciprocated.

Connor

My contract with Greenleigh United is up soon, which means I have a year to either sign a new deal or the team owners are going to sell me.

All I am is football and I love paying for this team. There is nothing I want more than to help get us promoted.

But then Heli crashes into my life with his sass and glitter and rules. Before I know it, I’m agreeing to all kinds of things this crazy little American is telling me to do.

Being with him lights me up in a way no one and nothing has before. Not even football.

Which is a big flipping problem because if this thing with Heli gets out, I am done.

Goodbye to any chance I might have had playing top flight football.

I need to decide if Heli is worth the risk.

Heli

When I was a kid, I learned that the only way to get my Hollywood actor parent’s attention was by acting out. Now I’m an adult and crazy stunts are second nature to me.

My latest indiscretion is a showstopper. Literally. So my parents ship me off to a small town in England where they own a soccer team.

Being relegated to the land of Sunday roasts and Stone Henge isn’t as bad as I thought it would be.

Not when there is Connor Bunton to occupy my thoughts.

At first, flirting with him is a fun way to pass the time.

I set rules to protect him from falling in love with me, but can I protect myself?

And what happens to his career if we are found out?

Hurricane Heli isn’t just a cute nickname, and I don’t want Connor to be a part of my trail of destruction.

For three years, I’ve resided in Alabaster Penitentiary. Surrounded by the same faces day in and day out, the deranged souls I now call my friends. We eat our meals together, shower together… Hell, we even fool around on occasion.

Still, after all that, not one of them truly knows me.

It’s my fault. I’m a withdrawn hoarder of secrets. A shadowman, dwelling on the sidelines, damned to this pit of despair for reasons I still can’t accept.

Being the outsider in a group of weirdos isn’t always fun. After all, if no one sees me, do I even exist?

Okay, let’s not go there.

I’m resenting my permanent sidekick status when a distraction arrives. A newcomer—tall, mysterious, and severely beautiful, with black hair and violet eyes. His abrupt arrival has my prison pals suspicious. But not me. I’m instantly intrigued by that peculiar gaze, following me like nothing has before.

He actually sees me. And it’s intoxicating.

Trevel Fenwick could be an ally. Maybe he could be… more.

My body sure seems to think so. But the brighter he lights me up, the deeper he slips into the shadows himself.

What is this striking stranger hiding behind that charming accent and penetrating stare? Why is his need to seek revenge so strong? And can we fight past our demons enough to become real partners in crime?

When a brutal storm ravages Alabaster Isle, we’re left sifting through the rubble. The fences are down. Stress cracks in the foundation, secrets escape, fragile loyalties tested. But the war is far from over…

In fact, it’s only just begun.

Not even when he starts realizing their relationship dynamic is not what he thought it was.

Emmett and Cosimo are the actual dream. A fantasy he conjured up once when he was lonely and not sure anyone was going to want him for who he was. But the more he gets to know the pair, the more he starts to have hope.

And hope is a dangerous thing.

As Miles starts to crack and he feels himself start giving in to their attention, he realizes that his own salvation might come at the hands of sharp tongues, tender hands, and the promise of an absolute happily ever after.

Freedom had never tasted as sweet or been so hard won. Eight years was a long stretch to serve, but seeing his best friend’s son every week and bunking with the man Jeremy loved like a brother, had given him a special insight into the man he’d become.

Finally able to get back on his feet and reestablish himself in the community, his next step is to lay claim to the man he loves.
