Rule Breaker. Troublemaker. Heart Taker.
Needs him like oxygen.

Shot and left to die. The man he thought he loved disappears. A fresh start in a new place seems like the right choice for Deputy Soren Jorgensen.

Dany has secrets. He’s not on the island by accident and he’s not a nice guy. He's laying low but he must have been born under a bad sign because the very man he’s hiding from walks back into his life.

When Soren discovers Dany living on Piedras too, it brings back all the feelings he's tried to bury.

Immediately trouble starts to boil over--what side is Dany on? Can Soren trust his heart to him again?

Two men from opposite sides of the law: can they set aside their differences and trust their hearts? And survive.

second chance, mystery/thriller, small town, high heat, can't stay away, new start, shouldn't... does it anyway, reunited, what was in that sandwich?

Real Trouble is set in the Veiled Intentions world on Piedras Island. Soren and Dany first appear in the Shielded Hearts series (When it Rains). Real Trouble can be read as a standalone and is dual POV following our heroes as they fight their way to their HEA and is the first in the new West Coast Forensics series.

About the Author

Thanks for stopping by, I’m Elle Keaton and I hail from the northwet corner of the US where we are known for rain, rain and more rain. I write the Accidental Roots series and the Never Too Late series, both set here in the Pacific Northwest featuring hot mm romance and the guarantee of a happy ending for my men. They start out broken, and maybe they end up that way too, but they always find the other half of their hearts.

I started writing way back when but only began publishing about two years ago and now have ten books out. Each features a couple in my little universe, sometimes there is added mystery and suspense.

Thank you for supporting this Indie Author,
Elle

Summary: Vivian, an adrenaline junkie and U.S. Army veteran, goes about her life as a bartender, avid runner, and polyamorous lesbian. Life in Sacramento, California is going well until she is blindsided by unforeseen financial issues which lead her to consider a new career. In an attempt to recharge and take a break, she visits her best friend, Jared, only to be sidetracked by a motorcycle trip with her other best friend, Bear. The adventure does not turn out to be the carefree break Vivian had hoped for. A mess, she returns to Sacramento where her partner, Ang, tries to push her down, rather than help her pick up the pieces. Meanwhile, Vivian takes big steps with her other partner, Audre, which fills a void in Vivian’s life left behind by her dysfunctional and abusive childhood. While out on a day trip to her favorite hiking trails, Vivian has an epiphany about what line of work she wants to pursue, and chases after it head first while also beginning to mend fences with her brother, Joey. As things start to stabilize, one of Vivian’s partners commits an act of grave violence, resulting in life-changing consequences for all concerned. Surrounded by friends, Vivian turns over a new leaf and finally finds the contentment she has sought for a lifetime.

Summary: The Siren & the Phoenix Lune doesn’t know much about his mystical birthright as a Compass-born, yet its promise of a life-mate cushions the long days and lonely nights. So he patiently waits, eager for when the compass will point him in the direction he must go. Touch-starved Narsus is a Verdigris—a highly toxic phoenix with poisonous feathers. To be Compass-born is a heartbreaking, torturous burden. So he hides away in heavy cloaks and a beaked mask to protect those around him. When the compass calls, Narsus further ostracizes himself by sending a proxy to the marriage ceremony, for he no longer believes in love. Or destiny. Hurt and embarrassed, Lune is determined to crack Narsus’s emotional armor. To show his Intended there’s always hope. But with the compasses counting down, can Lune convince Narsus to take a chance on love? Compass To My Heart is a MM fantasy romance about marriage by proxy, one bed, a poisoned kiss, and fated mates finding each other through compasses created by ancient magic.
