Soren
My life is super simple—there’s my labrador retriever Tibby, my job as a cybersecurity expert, and my cabin on the edge of a beautiful lake in Foggy Basin. I have virtual coworkers who are kind, I have real-life friends who are generous, and I belong to a thriving and accepting LGBTQ community in town. My life’s pretty damn sweet. Except when I think about one shy, gorgeous, elusive man. Sam makes my heart beat a little faster. He makes my smile grow a little bigger. And he runs whenever we’re alone together.
Sam
As the manager of the pet food store, I get to meet the most amazing pet parents. I’ve become friends with the local dog trainer, and at his Christmas party, I ran into a guy I’d been admiring and avoiding whenever he came into my store. Soren is kind, and he’s hot, not the kind of man to look at me twice. I always get tongue-tied and run away as fast as I can. Until I rescue a litter of newborn kittens and find myself drowning in the demands of their hour-by-hour care. Then Soren finds me falling asleep over my register and offers to help. I can’t turn that kindness down, but I still don’t know what to say when I’m around him.

I was fifteen when Nicholas Hayes walked into my life.
I was seventeen and he hated me.
I was nineteen when I fell for him. Hopelessly.
…and then we broke each other to pieces.
Six years later, I’m back on the east coast, doing my sister a favor. He’s not supposed to be here, so running into him is an unwelcome surprise.
What’s worse, somehow, we end up working together, so instead of avoiding him, I now have to see him every day.
His infuriating smirk.
The knowing looks.
His laugh and dumb jokes and the way that stupid nickname he gave me sounds on his lips.
Before I know it, all those feelings I thought I’d buried long ago are back with a vengeance.
But I’m not that same lovesick teenager anymore.
I know exactly how this story ends.
And I refuse to live through it twice.

BLURB:
They say everyone’s good at something, right? Well, my superpower happens to be making catastrophically bad decisions.
Sabotaging my father’s multi-million-dollar ad campaign because his client was a homophobic jerk? Done.
Accidentally causing a viral scandal? Check.
Confessing the whole thing, then road-tripping from Manhattan to pickle-obsessed Winsome, Vermont, to apologize to the poor guy who got blamed? You bet your gherkin.
After this, I’m done with impulsive behavior for good. No more reckless choices. No more big gestures…
Until Carlos Morales sits beside me at the bar.
He’s gorgeous, kind, grounded, funny, and until approximately five minutes ago, straight. He lives for family, forests, and small-town festivals the way I live for nightlife, neon, and high fashion.
Flirting with him is foolish. Kissing him is worse. And falling for this man when our lives couldn’t be more different is either my next spectacularly impulsive disaster…
Or the best decision I’ll ever make.

Ian
Seven years ago I lost the love of my life in a tragic accident, and I’ve been drowning in the aftermath ever since. Keeping Maddox’s tattoo shop alive was supposed to honor him. Instead I’m exhausted and barely holding my life together. Every day feels like I’m failing him and the dream he worked so hard to build. The only people still standing beside me are Anna, our residential chaos gremlin and really bad secretary, and Julian my best friend.
Julian has seen me at my absolute worst but still he stays through the late nights, and non stop pace we work at. The way I throw myself into this shop is slowly killing me.
Then my life finally implodes and Julian gives me an ultimatum: take a break, or lose him for good. I can’t lose him, no matter what.
So I agree, we take a vacation to scatter Maddox’s ashes in the place he always wanted to visit.
When a storm grounds our flight and strands us at a run down bed and breakfast I’m trapped with nowhere to run from my grief, the memories, or the feelings for Julian I’ve tried so hard to ignore.
For the first time in seven years I’m starting to wonder again what it would be like to let someone love me again.
For the first time in years I don’t want to run.
Julian
I’ve been in love with Ian for years. Long enough to realize it’s probably never going to happen with us. After his boyfriend died in a tragic accident nearly seven years ago Ian has stopped living and started surviving. He’s buried himself in the tattoo shop and convinced himself in order to keep Maddox’s memory alive he must work himself into the ground. I’ve spent seven years watching the man I love work himself to his limit while pretending he’s fine.
Something has to change.
So I give him an ultimatum, we take a vacation or I walk away from the shop for good.
Surprisingly Ian agrees. Our plan is simple. Scatter Maddox’s ashes, and help Ian find some peace. Instead a storm leaves us stranded in a decaying bed and breakfast with one room, one bed, and too many unresolved feelings between us. With us stuck there’s no way to avoid the tension building between us.
The closer we get, the harder it becomes to pretend this is only friendship.
Ian thinks loving someone new means letting Maddox go for good, but I’m starting to hope there’s room in his heart for us both.

Love can be found in unexpected places
As a ranch hand on a sprawling ranch in Colorado, Jake finds comfort in routine. Now, the ranch is being transformed into a dude ranch for troubled LGBTQ youths from the city. It’s a change Jake resists, fearing the loss of the ranch’s soul.
Dalton, a banker from Denver, arrives at the ranch to deliver three young men to partake in what the ranch now offers. He’d love to escape his chaotic life, but he feels out of place in the vast, open landscape and has no idea how to fit in, so he doesn’t plan on staying.
To Jake, Dalton is a city boy with tassels on his shoes. Plus, he’s afraid of horses. Jake is not interested, except Dalton is as pretty as a sunrise, with blue eyes reflecting the Colorado sky above, a combination almost impossible for Jake to resist.
To Dalton, Jake is a dusty cowboy with chiseled features and a distant air; he probably hates everyone and everything. Dalton does his best to stay out of Jake’s way.
Dalton attempts getting on a horse, in spite of his fears, and when he gets tossed off, it’s Jake who hauls him to his feet, dusts him off, and teaches him how to ride.
Long days on the ranch lead to late-night talks under the stars. Slowly, they challenge each other. Dalton helps Jake see the beauty in change, while Jake offers Dalton a sense of belonging. Will they put aside their own fears and realize that love can be found in the most unexpected of places?

Starting his rookie season on the New York Bandits, Ethan’s finally going to get the chance to play with his brother Charlie. But while Charlie’s great—a fantastic roommate, a better teammate, and a damn good forward—it turns out the guy Ethan’s really interested in doesn’t have a last name of Barnes.
Hank Tucker’s been working his ass off for two years to make the Bandits opening roster as one of their starting defensemen. What he needs is determination, hard work and focus.
What he doesn’t need is a rookie forward with a famous last name, who, since the first time they met at development camp last year, has permanently moved into his thoughts with his rumpled curls and magnetic smiles and killer body. No matter how grumpy Hank is or how determined he is to shake him, Ethan’s sunshine ends up buried deep under Hank’s skin.
Hank’s always been sure he was straight. But Ethan tempts him and entices him and ultimately, makes himself so irresistible Hank’s got no shot at holding back.
Especially when it turns out that Ethan’s not just been working hard to make a spot on the Bandits’ roster but in Hank’s bed, too.

My entire life has been curated. Perfect clothes. Perfect body. Perfect manners. The perfect disappointment.
When I’m taken by a crew of art thieves in the middle of a robbery, I already know how the story ends. My family won’t pay a dime to get me back. My father barely remembers he has a son even when I’m standing right in front of him.
The problem isn’t dying. It’s realizing no one will miss me when I do.
Then there’s Leo. My captor is crude, infuriating, and entirely too comfortable calling me princess. He treats me like a liability, but the more I look at him, the more I realize that art isn’t just paintings and sculptures… it’s people. Our time together is winding down like a countdown on a bomb, but the closer we get to the final explosion, the more I realize I don’t want to escape.
I want to burn with him.
LEO
The job was supposed to be simple. Steal the art. Leave.
Instead, I end up with a hostage who talks too much, complains about fast food, and manages to insult my intelligence while begging for his life. Callisto Santos is everything I hate. Rich. Spoiled. Beautiful. A fragile prince who belongs in a gallery, not locked in my spare bedroom.
So why can’t I stop pushing him?
The more I peel back his layers, the more I realize he’s entirely too good for this rotten world. My crew thinks we’re just waiting on a ransom check, but the stakes just changed. He wants to paint the world, and I’ve spent my whole life wanting to destroy it. To keep him alive, I will have to betray everyone who has ever cared for me.
I will burn it all down… for him.

While visiting the town of Foggy Basin for their Pride Festival, I fell in love with the vibe. Lots of folks move there to start over, so why shouldn’t I? My cousin Derek shows me a quirky property for sale just outside of town, and once I see it, inspiration hits. Why not create a retreat where folks can make their dreams a reality? I ignored mine for way too long, but not anymore, and if I happen to run into the hot firefighter I shared a kiss with at Pride, well, I’ll take it as a sign.

He was poison, a lethal dose that a fool like me couldn’t resist. And despite all the warnings, I dove in headfirst, ready for a bloodied battle. Only no training could ever prepare me for Ariyan.
This wasn’t the result of a single mistake, but rather a series of catastrophic decisions that led to my self-destruction. Loving him was the same as worshipping a nameless god: pointless and destined to end with a sword.
But this was just the beginning of an endless road. Every kiss, every fight, every scratch revealed another piece of the filth lying beneath. Or maybe it was all exposed from the start, and I was too damn blind to see it.

The Javelinas want him back.

MICHAEL
I set off for Europe after my broken engagement, hoping distance will dull the heartbreak and give me time to heal. What I do not expect is to find comfort in the arms of Taj Badmus, a one-night stand who turns out to be my student. I tell myself it was a mistake that cannot happen again, but avoiding him proves more difficult than I anticipated, especially since he seems determined to stay in my life. If anyone finds out, the consequences could cost me my career and everything I have worked for. I know where the line is and why it exists, yet the more time I spend with him, the less certain I am that walking away is the right choice.
TAJ
One look at Professor Michael Sawyer and I know I’m in trouble because I immediately want him, and not just for a night. Even though he’s convinced that staying away will keep me in line, it only makes me want to cross every line he tries to draw. I know he is twelve years older, my professor, and only here temporarily, but I’ve never been good at walking away from something I truly want.

I take them apart. I like what a man sounds like when he discovers, through restraint and pain and a well-timed no, that dominance was never his. I like watching someone’s shape change in real time. I’ve done it dozens of times and I’ve never wanted a second night.
But tonight there’s someone new. He’s big and nervous, and somehow he flips the script on me. And for the first time, something cracks.

Heartbroken, Phillip flees to London.
Everett never expected to be Duke of Harriford. His title brings a slew of distasteful marriage and handfasting offers. The latest invitation for his old friend Phillip shocks Ev into accepting. Phillip is everything he remembers and more, and Ev soon finds himself responding to the potent scent of Phillip’s pheromones. When his mate runs, Ev questions whether their feelings are true, or merely the bond of alpha and omega. Despite his fears, he’s determined to find Phillip and bring him home.
As Ev searches London, Phillip questions the wisdom of his choices. His plans have begun to unravel rather spectacularly. To start with, he’s pregnant, the one thing he thought he’d never be. Worse, there’s an alpha hunting him — and it’s not Ev.

When Paxton’s dream of expanding his meadery is threatened by a stubborn developer, Callum uses the one thing he’s always trusted—his words— to help Paxton fight back. What starts as a mutual favor turns into a shared mission… and something dangerously close to love.

A little stalking never hurt anyone…
Or at least that’s what Akai told himself every time he checked on the human building the cabin deep in the woods. Before that, the man had camped there alone. Akai wants to believe that he’s only making sure the human doesn’t injure himself and die alone the same way his sister did. But it’s more than that, even though he doesn’t know what to do about it. Monsters aren’t supposed to reveal themselves to humans, and he’d already done that once before and narrowly avoided trouble.
For months, Cole Denny has felt like he’s being watched. Sometimes, he’ll find things near his cabin that shouldn’t be there. Yet he’s never seen evidence of another person.
Until one night, under a meteor shower, he sees something in the shadows. At first, it looks like a man. Then a wolf. Then something else entirely. Cole is always armed at the cabin, but he doesn’t want to hurt it, so he fires two warning shots into the air.
Wolves should not grow wings.
Now the creature lies at his feet—bleeding and broken–and Cole is dragged back to the worst night of his life when he lay dying on the road with the same red eyes staring down at him.

Have you ever met a hitman who dreams of having a veggie patch?
It’s me. I’m the hitman.
It’s the day before I retire from ten years of killing people for hire. Not only am I given one last job- wasn’t that job in Budapest last month THE last job?- but then I find out I’m tasked with killing my best friend’s dad.
Did I mention he’s a total silver fox, the smartest man I’ve ever met and my all-time crush?
Yeah…life sucks.

I have never once looked at a crime scene and felt anything but the need to bring someone to justice.
Until now.
The bodies are posed. Theatrical. Every wound deliberate, every detail chosen. A message carved in flesh for every predator who ever harmed a child and thought they’d gotten away with it.
My colleagues see a monster.
I see monsters too. I just can’t figure out who I mean anymore.
Then I find him. All sharp wit and sharper cheekbones, with a smile that makes me forget I’m supposed to be suspicious. He shouldn’t be anywhere near this case. He keeps ending up exactly where I am anyway.
He should be in handcuffs.
He would be, if I weren’t the one letting him disappear into the dark every single time.
I tell myself I need more evidence. I tell myself I’m playing a long game.
I think I’m lying.
I’m a good cop. I have always been a good cop. I believe in the law. Not because it’s perfect, but because without it, we’re nothing.
Then he winked at me, and now I understand, for the first time, exactly why people fall.

BLURB:
Lance Broussard drove through fire at seventeen to pull Parker Bishop out of the smoke. What came after — the almost-ten-months of after — he’s never told anyone about. He’s spent the decade since learning that saving someone and keeping them are not the same thing.
He still hasn’t learned it.
Parker Bishop left the summer after the fire and didn’t look back. He goes by Jonny now, carries his life in a single bag, and has very specific feelings about people who think he needs taking care of. He came back to Fairhaven for one reason. Lance Broussard was not it.
Lance will give Jonny everything he has. That’s always been the problem. What Jonny’s never learned is that letting someone in isn’t the same as giving yourself away.
So the reunion, when it comes, isn’t tender. Lance never forgave him for leaving; Jonny never forgave Lance for loving him like something that needed saving. They’re both right.
Then a woman turns up dead with her blood on Jonny’s hands, dragging everything they buried the year of the fire back into the open — and the one person Jonny can’t get through this without is the one he swore he’d never need again.
The question was never whether they loved each other. The question is whether love is enough.
Can two people unlearn everything they know about love before the truth finishes what the fire started?

Sometimes the biggest heart belongs to the biggest monster.
Hal
Mystic Hollow is home, the place where I belong. I’ve found friends, purpose, and a community that embraces me exactly as I am.
The only thing missing is someone to build a happily ever after with.
Then Skylar Wright checks into my B&B.
He’s beautiful, guarded, and carrying hurts so deep they make my heart ache. Every instinct I have tells me to shower him with care, make him smile, and help him build the fresh start he deserves.
With every moment we spend together, I’m falling head over heels. For the first time, my happily ever after doesn’t feel like something that only happens in books.
Now all I can do is hope he’ll let me be part of his happily ever after.
Skylar
Starting over in Mystic Hollow isn’t an adventure—it’s my last shot at building a life that finally feels safe.
I’ve spent too long surviving. Now I just want a quiet place where I can stop looking over my shoulder, heal, and chase my dream of running my own hair salon.
I think I’ve found that in this close-knit magical little town.
Then there’s Hal, the gentle sasquatch who owns the B&B where I’m staying.
He’s patient, thoughtful, and so genuinely kind that I can’t help waiting for the catch. But the more time I spend with him, the more I believe this town—and this giant, soft-hearted sasquatch—really could be home.
The only question is whether I can convince myself I deserve it.
