Kelly Seaton conduce una bella vita. Ha un’impresa di giardinaggio, una bella casetta e un migliore amico, Cosimo Renaldi, con una famiglia eccentrica che lo ha adottato trattandolo come se fosse uno di loro. Certo, la notte si sente un po’ solo ma è un buon compromesso, e Kelly non può rischiare di rovinare tutto lasciando trasparire di volere di più, di aver sempre voluto di più, da parte di Coz.

Poi il passato di Kelly arriva in città, portando con sé brutti ricordi e sentimenti feriti che iniziano a trascinarlo a fondo, e Coz non capisce perché l’amico non gli permetta di donargli sostegno e forza, come Kelly ha sempre fatto per lui. Hanno già affrontato una guerra, il terribile incidente di Coz e il doversi reinventare una vita a Mangrove, in Florida. Perché non dovrebbero finalmente affrontare i loro trascorsi tormentati per costruire un futuro fatto di notti tranquille… insieme?

Beyond the Boardroom

Anything but business as usual.

Ex-teacher Sasha Lindsey is all about fun—that’s the reason people love him, so he has to be. After a bad break-up leaves him jobless and homeless, the live-in manny job with Mr. Price seems like a windfall. But his chemistry with Nic is off the charts, and he can’t afford another workplace romance disaster.

Can Nic leave his dominance in the bedroom and open his heart to the best thing that’s ever happened to him? Or will Sasha’s leap of faith backfire and ruin his chances at the family happily ever after he’s always dreamed of?

Lord protector of whores, thieves, sorcerers, and deviants.

Owning a parcel of land the railroad needs to cross means Edward gets to run the border town around the station as he sees fit. What starts as a place to indulge his varied appetites becomes a haven to society’s castoffs, and if Edward encourages legends about its founder to flourish, well, he’s not so much a liar as a man who wants to protect all the cultures living in peace. Being mayor means folks might ignore his vices, but they also expect him to fix what goes wrong.

When a crushing heat wave and drought threaten not only the town’s diverse holiday celebrations but its very existence, Edward must turn to the one man he’d rather french kiss a timber rattler than face—the icily elegant Cantonese mage Edward walked out on but never stopped loving.
