My five-year plan did not include impersonating a high-level executive to impress the big boss, but here we are. One day I’m slinging mail, the next I’m in a meeting trying not to drool over the CEO’s thighs like a disaster in khakis.
He thinks I’m a brilliant strategist. The truth? I’m just trying to keep my ‘professional’ smile in place while staring at his horns. But the more time we spend together in late-night work sessions, the more I realize the heat between us isn’t just my imagination. Can I help win the company’s biggest account and the Minotaur of my dreams, or will my little lie get me sent back to the basement?

One year. Room and board.
All Dylan has to do is pretend to be someone he isn’t. Play a role that matters far more than it should.
Currents
A charged glance with a stranger outside a Wellington theatre.
A pull he can’t explain, leaving him breathless and disoriented.
Trent is intense, private, and grieving something he refuses to define.
Living together drags and lifts in equal measure. Secrets that feel dangerous. Late nights where thoughts sink too deep. Shared meals, a silly chicken, a riotous grandpa.
A slow, intimate pull towards shore.
Undertow
But grief can drag you out too deep.
Dylan finds himself caught between truth and tenderness, between who he’s pretending to be and who he might finally become. When the past surfaces, they must face what they’ve each been running from . . . and the love they could have if they stop.

Blue only wanted to clear his name, not hook a brooding detective, but when sparks fly hotter than a Portuguese summer, resisting temptation becomes the hardest puzzle to solve of all.

That is, until a snobby millionaire drops dead after eating one of Blue’s sardines, and suddenly everyone’s looking at him like he’s serving murder on ice.
Enter Rose: detective for the Portuguese Paranormal Police, a man who hasn’t smiled for two decades and has no patience for seafood puns—or for Blue’s sunshine-in-a-bottle personality. He’s here to solve a murder, not babysit a charming fishmonger with big eyes and a bigger mouth.
But Blue is determined to clear his name, even if that means sticking to Rose like seaweed on a boat hull. As the investigation twists through ancient secrets, magical oddities, and supernatural politics, the two men are drawn together by more than just the mystery. Add in a ghostly white dog, a handful of eccentric locals, and a whole lot of unexpected chemistry, and you’ve got a case that just might end in love.

BLURB:
How to accidentally on purpose stalk and traumatise your soulmate:
Hide behind wheelie bins like all proper predators do.
Stare through his window until he spots you.
Volunteer to teach him self-defence to protect him from his “stalker” (i.e., you).
Try not to spontaneously combust when you touch him during training.
Felix
Someone’s been watching me for months.
As Killigrew Street’s tech expert, I’ve hacked into enough systems to know we’ve made serious enemies—particularly since discovering Greywatch, a military unit exploiting supernatural soldiers. When I finally spot my stalker outside my flat, Kit—my brooding, cardigan-wearing older colleague—swoops in to investigate.
There’s always been weird tension between us: strange looks, wordless tea deliveries. But when he offers self-defence lessons, I’m not complaining. Even if his proximity makes my hands shake for entirely different reasons.
My stalker better watch out, because Kit’s teaching me exactly how to handle creeps like them.
Kit
I am the worst person alive.
Two years I’ve been pining for Felix—my brilliant, beautiful mate who doesn’t even know what he is to me. Two years of watching him from afar, following him home, lurking outside his flat like some kind of sick freak.
Now he’s noticed. He thinks some faceless enemy is hunting him. He’s petrified.
And it’s all my fault.
The mature thing would be to confess everything and quit Killigrew Street. Instead, I’ve convinced myself that teaching him self-defence will help. Because, apparently, my capacity for self-sabotage knows no bounds.
I should tell him the truth. I should walk away. I should definitely stop stealing his hoodies.
But with enemies from my shady military past circling, and Felix in real danger, walking away isn’t an option. Even if staying means risking my heart.

I’ve built my entire life around control. I do what’s expected of me, keep my head down, and avoid anything that might drag me off course.
Which is why, when Coach gives me the task of keeping Logan Gray in check, it feels like a cruel joke.
He’s too loud, parties too hard, takes nothing seriously, and has made an art out of getting under my skin. He doesn’t try to hide how much fun he has pushing my buttons by walking around shirtless, tossing out flirty comments, and refusing to give me any space.
I tell myself I can handle him, that it doesn’t matter how many times I catch myself watching him when I shouldn’t. I’ve spent too long being careful to let someone like Logan Gray knock me off balance, but it becomes hard to remember that when he doesn’t play by the rules.
I’ve avoided risk my entire life. But lately, I’m not sure I want to.
Logan:
I’ve always been good at getting under people’s skin. It’s kind of a talent—one that Nathan Hayes is immune to.
He’s disciplined to a fault, annoyingly focused, and has spent the last two years barely acknowledging my existence. But when Coach decides his son is the perfect guy to keep me in line, that all changes.
Suddenly, he’s watching me. Paying attention. Frowning every time I push his buttons.
And I push. Obviously.
Because he’s straight, untouchable and completely unaffected.
Or so I thought.
Turns out, Nathan isn’t quite as immune as he pretends to be. One touch and one unexpected confession is all it takes until we’re sneaking around.
I’ve never been one to turn down a little fun, and if my tightly-wound, rule-following roommate wants someone to help him figure things out? I’m more than willing to be of service.
What can I say? I’m a very supportive teammate.

Theo
Everything normal and good in my life fell apart before I knew what was happening. I was fractured inside, fighting a battle I can never win. I had to leave him behind. Dawson is too pure and good for me. I’m only damaged goods. If he learned the truth, he would never look at me the same again.

Nick
I’ve always been the playboy of my friend group. The guy who’s never been without a boyfriend or girlfriend or at least a regular hookup since high school. But lately, casual isn’t doing it for me. It’s a fact that becomes abundantly clear when I can’t get it up for a hot guy I met at a coffeeshop and invited back to my place. He’s gracious and leaves without making it a big deal. Even offers me a raincheck if I want. Which I don’t. When I hear the police sirens about a half hour after he left, I don’t think anything of it except to wonder if they can find my missing libido.
Aaron
After my brother, Zack, is found in an alley, everything becomes about finding his killer. Unfortunately, neither the police nor my family have any idea what Zack was doing in that part of San Francisco. I mean, I have a suspicion, but with Zack’s phone missing, the police don’t know where to look. At a loss about what to do but needing to do something, Zack’s best friend and I start handing out flyers trying to find someone who saw Zack or knew where he’d been. It’s a long shot, but miraculously, someone calls to say he might have been the last person to see Zack alive.
