In all of my years as a professor, never did I imagine I’d end up getting a lap dance from a student. But I did. What’s worse? He’s my new TA. And the icing on top of the cake? I can’t stop thinking about it. Can’t get him off my mind.

I’m Dr. Silas Sinclair. Respectable educator and a man with his head on his shoulders. I don’t break the rules. I don’t cross boundaries. And I certainly don’t stalk students.

Or at least I didn’t until him.
Everly Winslow is bad news waiting to happen. He’s everything I should stay away from, but I can’t. The flirting. The taunting. It’s constant, and it’s too much.

I’m only human and it’s only a matter of time before I crack and give in to my desires. When all is said and done, will I be able to maintain my respectable career or will it all crash and burn?

On a quest for long-lasting love, Capricorn? It may be just over the rainbow.

Grappling with a storm in his heart and feeling like a general failure, Carl Birch flees his problems at home and swaps lives with his ‘successful’ twin brother. Stepping into the shoes of an accomplished professional pianist adored by the locals feels like a breath of fresh air: he’s revered, admired, and described as ‘talented’ for the first time ever.

It feels good, but it’s also complicated. He can’t actually play the piano to save himself, and everyone he meets wants him to play, and teach, and tune, and give motivational speeches at school assembly . . .

If that’s not enough, the local heartbreaker has his dark, judgy eyes on him—eyes that seem to know. But also to understand. And, vexingly, to suspect Carl has joined the hordes of groupies swooning after him!

To get out of this spiraling mess, Carl will have to face things—both at home, and in his heart.

Buckle up, Capricorn. You’re about to undertake a journey of heart, mind, and courageous spirit.

AJAY
No one expects to be abandoned the day before Christmas but that is exactly where I find myself when my mum cancels our summer holiday to be with her new husband. Not wanting to spend the break alone, I jump at my best friend’s offer to join him at his family’s beach house.

The only potential hiccup? Dane’s lazy, beach bum older brother, Nick, will also be there.

Except Nick is like nothing his younger brother has represented. He’s a welcome breath of fresh air, a man who lives life to the fullest and who calls to me in ways nobody else has ever done before. Oh, and did I mention how good he looks on the back of a surfboard?

As far as I know I’m totally straight and it’s easy to mistake attraction for admiration. But then the lightbulb suddenly flicks and I can no longer deny how much I want him.

I’m hooked and falling fast but we both have exes – my manipulative, slightly stalkerish high school sweetheart and his devastatingly beautiful supermodel ex who just so happens to be Nick’s best friend – who aren’t quite so thrilled about letting us have our happily ever after. Besides, this was only meant to be a summer fling. Right?

The last place these men want to be is in the limelight.

Law enforcement in Baltimore has a PR problem. Robberies, bombings, and violent crimes are on the rise. The public wants something done, and even the FBI is catching blame. When Special Agents Ty Grady and Zane Garrett accidentally become the handsome faces of the counter-offense, they find themselves the center of attention from the media . . . and a dangerous band of criminals.

​

Being respectable is busy work, and the added attention makes it harder than ever to keep their blossoming relationship a secret. Neither man is quite sure where they stand, or where they want to stand. Zane can’t seem to say those three little words, and Ty is too mired in his past to notice.

​

The bombings throughout the city are getting worse. Without any leads, Ty and Zane find themselves taking their frustrations out on each other. Being together in the shadows but hiding in the spotlight is one more stressor when they’re already taxed to the limit. As a mysterious bomber closes in, it starts to look like neither they nor their relationship has much hope for survival.

“You own me, right, Dev?” he breathes, almost sweetly. “Maybe you’ll have to prove it.”

It's Valentine's Day and Rome wants to drive Devin crazy just so he can see and feel the breadth of Devin's possessiveness. But will it go the way he planned?

Carlos

The past has a way of always following you and whenever he's involved, I never mind. Isaiah has called on me for help before, but the new favor he asks of me is one I never expected to receive. His beloved husband has been taken and he needs help tracking him down. One good quality I've always had was the ability to find people. I should say no and turn my head. Except the word no was never in my vocabulary when it came to the man I've been secretly in love with for the last ten years.

Once my job is completed, will I be able to walk away this time?

Isaiah

As much as I've been looking for an excuse to call on my old friend, this wasn't it. My life has had its ups and down but I'm finally at the point where I thought I had everything. Or at least, I did until the other piece of my heart was taken away from me and every good thing in my life was threatened. There's only ever been one other person besides Joey I could always trust, and he's never completely left my mind or heart all the years later.

As much as I hate putting another person I care about in harm's way, I know he's my only hope.

Joey

One minute I'm safe in the arms of the man I love, and the next I wake up in the back of a dark van half naked. Out of all the things I feared in the past, being sold to the highest bidder wasn't one of them but here I am and I won't make it to any auction without a fight. I never was one to need rescuing, but Isaiah was never one to leave me fighting alone either.

The man he sends is nothing I've expected him to be. What starts off as pretending for the sake of surviving, turns into something else. I'm not sure I can let him go once this is all over.
