Failing to tell him that my family is a bunch of professional thieves? Small oversight. I left the Callahan family business years ago. These days I’m a law-abiding citizen. A photographer who takes nothing but pictures. A man who’s learned not to get greedy for anything… or anyone. But my family hasn’t gotten that memo, so I expect my week at family camp to be filled with guilt-trippy attempts to lure me back into the fold. Until Holden Axford comes along… and everything goes axe backwards.

I’ve been in love with Trace Bishop half my life… And I’ve been hiding it just as long. He’s my father’s best friend. The man who tracked me down and kept me safe my entire childhood… The man who looked me in the eyes six years ago and said we were impossible. So I poured my longing into love songs. Songs no one knows are about Trace. I shared them with the world under a secret identity and won a Grammy. Just another thing to hide. Then one stupid kiss changes everything. Trace can’t want me back. It would cost him his friends, his family, and the life he’s built.

Blue: When my ex walks into the resort bar with his new husband on his arm, I want nothing more than to prove to him that I've moved on. Thankfully, the sexy stranger sitting next to me is more than willing to share a few kisses in the name of revenge. It gets even better when those scorching kisses turn into a night of fiery passion. The only problem? Turns out the stranger's brother is marrying my sister later this week.

Evidently, I’m a rule breaker. The rule I broke? Falling for the straight man with two kids. Didn’t help that he is the Governor of California. As the starting tight end for the San Diego Storm, you’d think I had better self-control. But there was no avoiding it when our unlikely friendship blossomed, and he unknowingly started flirting back. It was out of my control.

They say everyone’s good at something, right? Well, my superpower happens to be making catastrophically bad decisions. Sabotaging my father’s multi-million-dollar ad campaign because his client was a homophobic jerk? Done. Accidentally causing a viral scandal? Check. Confessing the whole thing, then road-tripping from Manhattan to pickle-obsessed Winsome, Vermont, to apologize to the poor guy who got blamed? You bet your gherkin. After this, I’m done with impulsive behavior for good. No more reckless choices. No more big gestures… Until Carlos Morales sits beside me at the bar.

I’m a man on a mission to stay as far away from everyone else as possible. I have too much damage as a veteran, and this is the only way to keep those I love safe—especially Boden, my teenage son, whom I haven’t seen in years. I find a quiet spot on top of a mountain where no one bothers me. Until Arek shows up, the local doctor and a single dad to teenage twins. I help him with an emergency, but something happens. There’s a spark, a connection between us I’ve never felt before.

Four unforgettable MM romances. Four couples who never saw love coming. And one truth they’ll all learn the hard way: Sometimes the person you’re meant for is the one you least expect.

He’s my ex-boyfriend’s brother, an alpha with an old-fashioned face and a rugged demeanor. I’m the omega who’s managed to get myself stranded in the middle of nowhere with him during a snowstorm. It’s fine though. It’s not like anything’s going to happen between us. We’re both adults and we have this thing called self-control. There’s nothing to worry about. Except, there’s a trickle of warmth flowing through my veins, and things are happening in my body that I can’t explain. Wait. I’m not going into heat, am I?

I'm not saying I've thoroughly enjoyed the three years I've spent in captivity on a pleasure planet, shaking my money-maker for intergalactic patrons… but, I mean, it hasn't been all bad. The jelly donuts were a perk. Granted, I didn't really know what I was signing up for when I agreed to be purchased by the sexy pink shark-man, but things seem to be looking up.

Griff: I learned early on that the easiest way to avoid a broken heart is to always be the first out the door. Caring about anyone or anything is asking to be disappointed. And no one, not even the sexy-as-hell bartender at the club can convince me otherwise. Sam: I’ve watched a million pick-up artists work their magic, but none as talented as Griffin Marian. Hooking up with him was supposed to be just a fling. But, the more time I spend with Griff, the more I’m beginning to realize that my plans mean nothing without him.

As a Top Ten draft pick, I'd been on my way to hockey stardom—until one bad hit on the ice threatened it all. Now I have one year of college left to prove to everyone that I've made a full recovery from my injury and am still worth a shot in the NHL. So my plan for senior year is simple: keep my head down, work hard, and win the Frozen Four. But it all goes right out the window when my twin brother Nate finds himself in a precarious situation, and I'm the only one who can help him.

When you burn down your contractor’s home…and kind of, accidentally invite him to move into yours. First things first, that fire was a fluke. A tragic, completely unintentional byproduct of high emotions, an ill-timed backyard grilling…and one very shirtless man. I only meant to confront Brewer—my maddeningly stoic contractor—about a few small concerns with the renovation of my historic money pit. Instead, I got distracted by his muscles (who grills shirtless in February, I ask you?), I tripped over my words—and my feet—and…well, my carefully-ordered life went up in flames.

But when the wrong people show too much interest in my latest invention, my boss wants me protected. Despite my fierce protests, I end up back in Forestville. With a bodyguard who poses as my boyfriend.

He left the chaos of LA behind for a reason, and the last thing he needs is a spoiled movie star treating him like hired help.
