Hudson
Give me the smallest reason to make a bad decision, and I’ll jump in with both feet.
Case in point: thinking that drunkenly buying an abandoned town with my brothers is a good idea.

As builders, we plan to renovate and flip the town, maybe turn it into something worth seeing, but the longer we’re here, the more things feel … off.

It’s not until a bearded mountain man breaks into my room in the middle of the night and threatens for us to get out of his town that I realize Wilde’s End isn’t as abandoned as we were told.
But there’s nothing waiting for me in the life I left behind, and in making his demands, Wilde has accidentally tapped into my competitive side.

Terrible decisions? Me?

Wilde can bring it on.

Wilde
I escaped to Wilde’s End twenty years ago, and since then I’ve dedicated my life to the town and the people who live there. Because if I focus on others, I don't have the time or energy to face everything I’ve been running from.

The Bellamy brothers coming to town is like three horsemen of the goddamn apocalypse. They leave destruction in their wake, and when the eldest, Hudson, ignores my very kind request to leave, it’s time to take things into my own hands. Protecting this town is all I know how to do.

But I’ve never faced someone like Hudson.

His stubbornness matches mine, and his attitude has an irritating way of worming under my skin. The more I push him, the harder he pushes back, until we’re locked in a game neither of us will walk away from.

With his smart mouth, bullheaded recklessness and those damn eyelashes I’m starting to question whether I can win this one.

But if I lose, this town isn’t the only thing on the line.

Some wars are matters of the heart and don’t require conventional weapons. And now, it’s time to let the two sides collide.

He’d kidnapped me. That was all I had to say. The man who’d been sort of my foster brother since I was a kid had actually kidnapped me. End of story. Okay, maybe not the end, but I’d always felt too exposed around Wade, and no wonder. He was perfect.

Older, composed, funny, super kind to me, former Army, a successful doctor, a Dom… I’d rather not put my foot in my mouth by rambling.

I was just a failure anyway.

So, yeah. I’d be his captive in

a remote cabin in freaking Alaska until he gave up and realized I couldn’t be saved.

All I had to do was keep my mouth shut and not fall in love with him again.

The last thing Rafael Moon needs is to fall in love with another teammate ...

Following a painful breakup, Rafe is looking forward to a fresh start in Boston, and he’s thrilled when he immediately clicks with his new D-partner, Mickey Krause.

Mickey’s smart, talented, and loves telling Rafe what to do. It feels good to have some structure and, finally, Rafe’s life is coming together on and off the ice.

As their friendship deepens, Rafe slowly realizes he’s falling for Mickey. Too bad he’s been down this road before. He knows exactly how badly it could end.

Roles are defined and tension smolders, but neither of them can stop their out-of-control feelings.

An independent perfectionist, Mickey’s had a rough season so far and he’s immediately smitten with Rafe’s sweet, earnest vibes.

Finally having someone who works well with him in the bedroom and beside him in a game has him hitting all his goals.

But when Mickey’s world is turned upside down following an altercation with Rafe’s ex, he’ll have to learn to let go and let someone else lead for once.

Their relationship and the team depend on it.

It began with a hookup. It ended with everything on the line.

Riley
As a single guy in professional hockey, my life has been about what you’d expect: hockey and girls, emphasis on the girls. And Logan, of course. He’s my best friend, my teammate, and the person who knows me better than anyone.

When a night on the road ends with us in bed, I don’t know how to explain it. I told myself it was a one-time thing, but it happened again. And again. Now I want more.

If I admit I’m falling for Logan, what does that mean? Everything changes: my identity, my public image, my entire life. But pretending it’s nothing gets harder with every kiss, every touch.

Logan
Riley’s younger and straight. Off-limits. At least that’s what I told myself when the feelings crept in.

Now we’re sleeping together, and I want this more than I should. Not just his body, but his heart, his trust, and his future.

But Riley’s confused, and I don’t want to push him. If he chooses me, it has to be real. If not, I’ll lose the man I love, my best friend, and maybe the only chance I’ll have at forever.

I’m fairly sure that when I’m on my deathbed, I’ll still be cursing Benji Gange’s name.

My neighbor paints his gate purple. His experiments with organic farming drift onto my land. He feeds me casseroles while we argue about everything from water rights to rugby selections. For five years, I’ve told myself he’s the worst thing to happen to farming since foot rot.

Then my orphan lamb escapes, and we end up tangled in a hedge together (don’t ask), spying on something that turns my whole world upside down. Suddenly, I realize that all the vegetables I leave on his doorstep and the casseroles he makes me might not be just neighborly gestures. And maybe the way my pulse races during our arguments isn’t about the disputed thistle paddock at all.

Is it possible that the biggest thorn in my side is exactly what I’ve been missing all along?

A demon cursed by greed. A human cursed by circumstance. Together, they must forge a path to freedom and maybe even love.

Cursed to live in the heart ruby because of his greed, Malacoda spends centuries serving those who want his power for themselves. When he meets Ryan, he seizes his chance, using his magic to urge Ryan to become his master.

As a single dad, Ryan's had to make some questionable decisions to protect his daughter and has lost no sleep over them. The consequences of them forces him into working for Scythe, the ruler of the underbelly of the city. Ryan's a fighter, though. He refuses to be a pawn. While hacking into Scythe's computer, he's tempted into touching the heart ruby, sealing his fate.

A drop of blood ties them together into a bond unlike anything either has experienced, awakening feelings neither has had before. For the first time, Mal pushes aside his greed, keeping Ryan safe, while all Ryan wants is for Mal to be free of the gem. Is it just their bond, or is something real between them? Could Ryan be the family Mal has always longed for, while being the love Ryan deserves?
