I've been drowning for a long time. I never thought I'd find someone who knows what that's like...
Self-proclaimed playboy, Aiden Vale, has it all - good looks, successful career, plenty of cash in the bank and an endless supply of men who know the score... that one night is just that. So the last thing he wants, or needs, is to forge a connection that might mean revealing more of himself than he's ready to. But when fate intervenes, putting Aiden in the path of someone who threatens to knock down his carefully constructed walls, he's quick to realize the young man he's become infatuated with is hiding a painful secret.

I finally have a shot at freedom. I'll never let anyone take that from me ever again...
Ash Valentine is just looking for a way out, and the last thing he wants or needs is another man controlling every aspect of his life. Desperate for the cash that will help him flee his abusive boyfriend, Ash accepts what is supposed to be a temporary job at a local coffee shop. But nothing prepares him for the gorgeous and enigmatic Aiden Vale, and the small acts of kindness the charming coffee shop regular bestows on him or the new friends he begins to make along the way.
Terrified of once again becoming too reliant on someone else to take care of him, Ash refuses Aiden's repeated offers of help in any form. But when it becomes clear that there's something more behind Aiden's need to save him, Ash begins to wonder if he's found someone who needs saving just as badly.

I know he wants to save me, but what if he's the one who needs saving...
As their tentative friendship turns into something more, long buried secrets begin to surface. When Aiden's need to protect Ash clashes with the younger man's desire for independence, memories of the one he couldn't save begin to tear at the fragile cords of Aiden's soul, and he's forced to face a truth he's been hiding from for a long time.
Threatened with losing what they've only just found, will Aiden and Ash find a way to accept their pasts or will they let the pain drag them below the surface for good?

No cliffhangers and can be read as a stand-alone.

Lucky Vor zwei Jahren blamierte ich mich mit einer Liebeserklärung an einen älteren Mann, der meine Gefühle eindeutig nicht teilte. Aber das ist in Ordnung. Eines Tages wird Zach zurückkommen. In der Zwischenzeit habe ich mir ein Leben im Norden Montanas aufgebaut, wo ich meinen College-Abschluss mache und nebenbei auf eine Zertifizierung als Rettungssanitäter für hochriskante alpine Such- und Rettungseinsätze hinarbeite. Und vielleicht habe ich diesen Teil mit dem Risiko vor meinen beiden Vätern geheim gehalten. Denn was sie nicht wissen, kann ihnen schließlich nicht wehtun ... Alles läuft genau nach Plan, bis meine Väter Zach losschicken, um nach mir zu sehen, während ich mich mit einem Ex herumschlagen muss, der nicht weiß, was das Wort "Nein" bedeutet. Schlimm genug, dass Zach mich immer noch für ein Kind hält; jetzt denkt er auch noch, ich sei unfähig, auf mich selbst aufzupassen. Ich muss ihn loswerden, bevor er herausfindet, dass ich in den Sommerferien nicht nach Wyoming fahre, wie alle denken. Ich werde im Glacier National Park lernen, wie man sich aus Hubschraubern abseilt ... Zach Vor zwei Jahren begehrte ich jemanden, den ich nicht haben konnte, also stürzte ich mich wieder in meinen Job als Army Ranger und endete in mehrfacher Hinsicht als gezeichnet. Als die Armee mein jämmerliches Ich wieder in die reale Welt entlässt, ist es Zeit für einen Neuanfang. Ich nehme einen Sommerjob als Ausbilder für hochriskante Such- und Rettungseinsätze an. Auf dem Weg dorthin muss ich nur einen Blick auf den kleinen Lucky Reed werfen und mich vergewissern, dass es ihm gut geht. Das tut es aber nicht. Jemand hat es auf ihn abgesehen, und ich will verdammt sein, wenn ich zulasse, dass er verletzt wird, wenn ich in seiner Nähe bin. Mein Plan ist es, ihn in Sicherheit zu bringen, bis er zu seinem Sommerjob in den Süden fährt, um für Touristen den Wanderführer zu spielen. Sobald er weg ist, kann ich mich auf den Weg nach Glacier machen. Dort wird meine größte Herausforderung darin liegen, auf eine Handvoll alpiner Such- und Rettungskräfte aufzupassen, die lernen wollen, wie man sich hoch über den Rocky Mountains aus Hubschraubern abseilt. Alles ist gut. Bis es das eben nicht mehr ist. Die Gefahr folgt uns nach Glacier. Und als ich endlich anfange, in Lucky mehr zu sehen als den unbeholfenen Teenager, der er einmal war, frage ich mich, ob es nicht schon zu spät ist, ihn davon zu überzeugen, dass dieser gezeichnete Soldat ihn endlich nicht mehr als kleinen Jungen sieht.

Attention Ghost Lovers! Prime opportunity to own this historic bed and breakfast in Pine Hollow, Maine, for a spooky low price. Must be comfortable with the mystical and at home with haunted spirits. (Don’t say we didn’t warn you.) Previous buyers haven’t lasted the night— will you be the one to tame the teeming shadows of this lovely Victorian mansion?

Will Ryan and Davis survive the ghosts of the Maberly sisters to win a shot at owning this historic inn? Or do they have a ghost of a chance at finding something else entirely? When things go bump in the night at this inn, it might just be the headboard...

When phone-sex operator Azrael gets into Travis's Uber, the driver profile claims Travis is deaf. Thank goodness, right? Otherwise, the guy would hear Az's dirty talk which would be all kinds of humiliating considering Az is actually a virgin who doesn't even know if he's doing phone job properly.

But Travis isn't deaf. He's standing in for someone else and hears every single word of Az's raunchy call. So when they're randomly set up on a blind date together, the sparks fly from the very first moment they meet. What follows is a steamy connection in which Azrael and Travis realize they have more in common than they originally thought despite Az's strict family and Travis's ten year age difference.

When Brad opens his Vegas hotel room door to find a hot police officer waiting on the other side, he assumes crazy Aunt Tilly has sent him a strip-o-gram.

But instead of getting naked, Detective Gorgeous pulls out his cuffs — turns out, the badge and uniform aren’t just props, this cop is the real deal.

Augie:
I don't need anyone's protection. I'm fine. But to appease my sister after a home invasion, I agree to take self-defense lessons. They just so happen to be with a big, muscled former navy SEAL who may or may not be everything I've always daydreamed about but never thought I could have.
And he's dead-set on looking out for me even when things in my life suddenly get complicated. Between the increasing threats against me and pressure from my wealthy family to be someone I'm not, I'm having a hard time keeping it together. As I begin to fall apart, I lose faith I'll ever meet anyone who'll want a mess like me--much less meeting someone strong and capable like Saint Wilde.
The more time I spend with him, however, the more I realize he's not as put together as he seems. And I begin to wonder... while Saint's busy looking after everyone else, who's looking after him?

Saint:
After my big fat mouth gets me in trouble with a high-profile client, my boss takes away the bodyguard gig and sends me back to my hometown to give one of society's elites a few lessons at a local gym. Babysitting an antiques nerd is hardly my idea of a good time, but as soon the attractive, petite man walks into the workout center, I nearly trip over my own feet.
He's effing adorable. And absolutely scared to death. He won't tell me what's spooked him, but I won't rest until I find a way to take the fear out of his gorgeous eyes. Even if defending Augie means I have to stop protecting my own heart.

His Saint is the fifth book in the Forever Wilde series but can be read out of order. Beware it includes 90k words of delicious man parts touching, grandfathers meddling, sassy siblings, cats mrrp-ing... and one Stevie.

Weston “Major” Marian:
After running away at the age of seventeen, I found a home in the Army. It wasn’t long before my fellow soldiers became family, giving purpose to my time in Vietnam. But everything changes when Doc Wilde joins my medevac crew. A night alone in the jungle after a helicopter crash forces us to rely on each other for survival, the secrets we share cementing a bond between us deeper than any I’ve ever known.
Doc begins to play a starring role in my late night fantasies even though he can never be anything more than a friend, a brother-in-arms. He’s straight, with family back in Texas, and I could kiss my career goodbye if anyone in the Army discovered my secret.
When our tours finally end, and we go our separate ways, Doc heads home to his perfect family while I continue to serve. I thought that was the end of our story. Turns out I was wrong.

Liam “Doc” Wilde:
When I wind up on the front lines in Vietnam young and afraid, it’s Major Marian who comes to my rescue. He’s tough, brave, and quiet, and he vows to keep me safe. He’s the only reason I make it home alive.
For some, a friendship like ours might have ended once we left the jungle behind, but life without Major Marian isn’t an option. Over time, our connection continues to grow. It’s no surprise when, years later, an unexpected illness turns my life upside down, he’s the first person I turn to for help.
And, as always, he drops everything to rescue me. I soon realize that at every step of my life, Major has been there, by my side, putting me first. All this time he’s been standing in the sidelines, waiting patiently to hand over his heart into my safekeeping.
Even though I never imagined building a future with another man, seeing Major in this new light is a revelation. And suddenly I can’t imagine my life any other way.
