Doc Wescott’s life hasn't always been easy or smooth sailing, but as the Amato Family Head Doctor, he’s made a name for himself in both the medical community and the underground crime world. His close relationship with the Amato Boss, has given him liberties most people don’t have, and it’s allowed him to build a home and family he wouldn’t otherwise have.
When tragedy hits the Family, Doc is the first on scene, using all his skills and contacts as a doctor to do what he does best—save the lives of those who’ve given him a place to belong.
Extenuating circumstances means one of Doc’s assistants is needed elsewhere, and additional help comes in the form of the last person he ever expected, but might have always needed.
Soren Petrov Knightly always knew the Bratva wasn’t for him. Too pretty for his own good, he’s the antithesis to everything the Bratva believes in. When his uncle negotiates an opportunity for him to join the Amato Family, he doesn’t hesitate to take it. A chance to make his own way, without having to censor himself for the comfort of others, is everything he’s always wanted.
When Doc and Soren meet, their connection is instant and unexpected. As their trust grows, they discover an understanding together they never thought they'd have.
Before they can settle into their life together, the Bratva reminds Soren that no one escapes easily—not even the Pakhan’s nephew. Doc and Soren will need to fight against the Organization’s prejudice and old-school ideals if they ever hope to have forever together, or die trying.

The Billionaire
by Emerson Beckett & Rheland Richmond
There's a thin line between love and hate, and I hate that I'm still in love with him.
★Austin “Daredevil” Wentworth★
I hate Greer Rowan.
Hate how I feel when he looks at me, hate the way things ended, and I hate that he’s my older brother’s best friend.
I hate how badly I want him, and most of all, I hate that I’m still stupidly in love with him.
And now Greer has hired me to do the impossible with him on an international excursion that I know is going to land us together in his bed. The problem is, I might not hate that.
★Greer Rowan★
I’ve been such a fool.
I had my reasons for doing what I did, and I know I hurt him. Austin may never understand, but I’m going to force him to hear me out. And if pushing all his protector buttons to get him to pretend to be my bodyguard boyfriend at my niece’s wedding won’t do the trick, I’ll dare him to do something else for one reason. That angry man is all I want.
Austin is the love of my life. We’re supposed to be together, and I’ve already spent too many years without him.
Horribly Harry
By Lisa Henry and Sarah Honey
Bad Boyfriends, Inc—when you can’t find a good boyfriend, why not hire a bad one instead?
To supplement his income while he’s completing his Early Education degree, Harry Townsend hires himself out as a terrible date—for a set fee, he’ll horrify parents and family members in all sorts of interesting ways. But when it comes to actual relationships—and sex—Harry doesn’t get the appeal. He doesn’t get the same tingly feelings everyone else seems to when they meet someone attractive. And he’s fine with that.
Jack Windsor abandoned his university degree to do an apprenticeship as a mechanic. He’s happy with his choices, but leaving uni meant losing his accommodation, and now he’s crashing on his sister Mia’s couch. It isn’t ideal, but it’s only until he finds something else—which is proving difficult in Sydney’s brutal rental market.
When Jack recognises Harry from his sister’s terrible date, he almost kills him with a strawberry smoothie. In the aftermath he discovers that not only was Harry’s bad date with Mia a setup, but that Harry is looking for a roommate.
Moving in with Harry is great, if only he wasn’t so distractingly cute—and totally uninterested in Jack. Except as they grow closer, for the first time ever Harry starts to develop feelings—tingly ones. But how can Harry and Jack be together when Jack’s family thinks that Harry is the worst human being in the universe?
The Broker
by Matthew Dante
The secrets of the past never remain buried. Somehow, they always find a way of leaking into the present, forcing people to face their demons and confront the haunting truths they have tried so desperately to keep hidden.
Isaac
25, Exotic Dancer... likes to party and have a good time.
What can I say? I like to have fun. Do I party hard? Yes. Do I make all the guys around me hot under the collar? Also, yes. But what's my favorite thing to do? Annoy the heck out of a certain uptight, ex-army boy whose muscles are way too big for his body. Seriously. We get it. You work out, dude... but also, I want you. Right here. Right now. Nope! Not going to admit that! Never. Ever. So, forget what you just heard and move along, please.
Jared
28, Exotic Dancer, ex-army... spends most of his time making sure that a certain blue-haired pain stays out of trouble.
Why do I do this? He annoys me to no end. Constantly playing pranks and always getting on my nerves. Yet, for some reason, I always find myself looking out for him. Making sure that he's safe and stays out of trouble. So, when the boss asks Isaac to revisit his painful past, of course, I'm there to protect him. He's going to need all the moral support he can get. Also, if anyone touches him, they're going to be introduced to a whole new level of pain. Just don't tell Isaac. I still have a reputation to keep.
The Space Between Us
by Flynn Woods
Lost in a small town, I never expected to find comfort in the arms of another man.
Being dumped by my girlfriend and moving to a small rural town by myself was not how I imagined my life after graduation. Not only was the three-bedroom apartment too big for me, but it was also a mess—moving boxes and unfinished furniture everywhere.
My family and friends lived hundreds of miles away, and my two left hands didn't know how to do anything. To make matters worse, a guy my age banged on my door and yelled at me for parking my car in his space. Couldn’t he give me a break? It was an honest mistake. He screamed that he wasn’t going to do “that” anymore. What the heck was he talking about?
Once that misunderstanding was out of the way, he calmed down, apologized, and even offered to help me with the furniture. Craving some company and help, I promised him a drink in return, and soon, we were laughing about everything. He turned out to be a decent guy—technically proficient, enjoyed a good baseball game as much as the next guy, already divorced at twenty-six—and he had some encouraging words for my situation. I finally felt like I could relax a bit.
Until he asked me if he could help me relax a little more…
