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: Two men. One sweet dream of family and forever. Gabriel “Bull” del Toro loves his fast-paced globe-trotting job, but aches for an honest relationship and the trust that comes with it. After a few too many heartbreaks, he’s nearly given up hope of finding that special someone. Until Ben. Born deaf, Ben is used to working twice as hard for what he wants, but risking a newfound friendship on an impossible dream is scary. After all, there’s one lesson he’s learned: everything is temporary—freedom, friends, even family. Neither man expects the undeniable spark between them or for every moment together to fuel that connection. For the first time, a happily ever after is within reach, but they must trust that the dream of acceptance, family, and a place to call home is more than a sweet fantasy. It can be forever. ———— A Sweet Man is an interconnected standalone within The Men of Halfway House series. It is a story about the power of love, the meaning of family, and never giving up on a dream. It includes wounded hearts, an age-gap romance, and enough cake and sweetness to give you a toothache.
