Chief Warrant Officer Leif Hansen didn’t know if he was staying or going. He’d been in the Navy for nineteen years, fifteen of them doing something he loved — diving. He wasn’t sure he wanted to retire at twenty or stay in longer but what did he have waiting for him? An apartment without so much as a house plant. Oooh, he could always move back in with his mother — big nope on that.

Aaron Templeton loved volunteering as a coach for youth football. A way for him to give back to the community that had meant so much to his grandfather. Taking on overzealous parents is par for the course, unfortunately. With the season winding down, it was time for him to stock up on reading material. His job had him in the snow and cold all day, no way he was doing something outside when he wasn’t working.

When two confirmed bachelors that have given everything to their country and community meet, Cupid aims his arrows. Let’s hope he’s a good shot.

Summary: He’s unleashed, unprepared and thoroughly screwed. Dylan's life in the spellster tower has everything he should want: magical knowledge, safety from the King's Hounds and frequent clandestine affairs with women. All at the cost of his freedom. So when the chance to leave the tower—even as a leashed weapon for the King's Army—arises, he seizes it. When his first scouting mission goes awry, Dylan is left alone in a hostile world with the tower a distant beacon of safety. Only the flirtatious Tracker, an elven man whose very presence awakens Dylan's long-repressed desire, can help him return to his old life before the crown discovers his unleashed status. But the risk of being branded a deserter may be the least of his concerns as whispers of an armed presence in the North threatens his home. Dylan must rely on Tracker to protect him even as everything he thought he knew begins to unravel around them. *This second edition shares the main storyline with In Love and Death and has additional content from Tracker’s pov.*

Summary: Sometimes the brightest stars need to come home… Henry Bright has a picture-perfect life as a rising star in the country rock scene—fortune, fame, and more lovers than he can shake a stick at. But something is missing. The glitz of Nashville is nothing more than glitter and tinfoil. Searching for authenticity in his life, he completes his DVM in veterinary medicine and returns to Wyoming. He takes a job as a vet at the Triple Star Ranch, hoping to find meaning and connection. He just didn’t expect to find love. Trip Colton’s wife died over thirty years ago and he figured that was it for love. But the moment he meets Henry, he can’t get the younger man off his mind. The problem is, he’s never been attracted to a man before and the realization throws him for a loop. Dating is hard at any age, but Trip’s out of practice and wooing a man is completely different than wooing a woman. When Henry’s former manager, Jordie, tracks him to Wyoming and begs the star to come back to the music biz, tensions damage the fragile connection between Henry and Trip. Jordie will do anything to convince Henry to return, even playing on his prejudices and hinting at Trip’s infidelity. But when the bank keeps calling with alerts on Henry’s accounts, he suspects there’s more going on with Jordie than a simple comeback music tour. Ultimately, Henry must choose where his heart lies, and who to trust, before he loses more than his chance at love.
