Signed Bisexual

To teach me a lesson, he’s transferring me from writing about hockey gods to Banana Ball, and not only do I have to pretend to like the not-so-professional sport, I have to go on tour with them. If I can just keep it in my pants and focus on the writing, I’ll earn a return to the sport I love.

Problem is, the gossip writer who got me into this mess is on tour too.

Ian’s determined to prove he’s meant for sports and not gossip columns, so when he suggests we create a public rivalry that’ll boost our reader engagement and get us both what we want, I reluctantly agree.

But the more time I spend with him, the more confusing my feelings for him become, and suddenly I’m looking at labels I never thought would apply to me.

After an explosive kiss it becomes so much harder to focus on the writing and faking our rivalry, but taking a chance on him means risking more than just my game plan to get back to the ice, for the first time in my life, I’ll also be risking my heart.

Griff

Walking away from my marriage was my idea of a fresh start.
My kid is in college, my ex-wife and I are on good terms … but being single in my forties is a world different to being single in my teens.
I’m thankful for my best friend, Heath. He’s got my back like he always does and is ready to take me out and show me how the bachelor life is done.
He was never supposed to show me literally.
After we wake up in bed together, I can’t stop looking at him differently, and one thing becomes abundantly clear.
I talk a big talk about wanting to be single, but my platonic rule book has gone out the window.

Heath

When my best friend comes to me for help post-divorce, I’m only too happy to impart my wisdom to him.
After all, Griffin isn’t my type, but even I can tell he’s a complete lumbersnack. Good with his hands, kind eyes, and a killer smile. All the guys and gals are gonna eat him alive.
But the more time we spend together, the less “not my type” he becomes. I’m the one who can’t get enough of him.
Neither of us is interested in a relationship, so what’s a little fun between friends?
We both know the score.

River didn’t know what to expect when she packed up and moved to Fires Creek, but she sure wasn’t expecting The Carter boys and their charm.

When Ash rolls into town with a backpack full of cash and a bullet wound, the last thing he’s looking for is a connection. All he needs is a ride south, fast.

Book two: To the end

True love is never transactional.

In the winter of 1994, twenty-nine-year-old Jamie Hollis is left reeling when he inherits a fortune in the wake of his estranged father's death. On the way home from the funeral, he spies a young hustler on a frozen street corner...and makes an impulsive decision.

Ben Greer is surviving one night at a time. At twenty-four, he’s bitter, burnt out, and barely scraping by on the streets of Providence. With no family to speak of and bearing the scars of liaisons gone wrong, he’s long since stopped believing in happy endings.

Their arrangement is supposed to be simple: Jamie wants exclusivity, and the money's too good for Ben to refuse. But as the weeks pass, what begins as transactional gives way to unexpected intimacy. Beyond Ben’s barbed defenses is someone Jamie is desperate to protect, and beneath Jamie’s isolation is the first person Ben’s trusted in years.

But when Jamie is dragged back into old family drama he once thought he escaped, Ben will have to decide what matters more to him: money...or love?

TO THE END is a class gap MM romance set against the nostalgic backdrop of the mid-90s. Serving as a prequel to WISH WE WERE HERE, TO THE END features a cast of familiar faces and a poignant HFN.

Book one:

Heartbroken art student Noel Underwood isn’t looking for anything serious when he hits the club looking for a distraction. But a reckless encounter with Luca Karvelas—an older tattoo artist with nowhere else to go—quickly turns into an arrangement neither of them can walk away from.

Fresh off a separation from his wife, Luca has spent his life burying parts of himself he never wanted to face. Getting involved with a man nearly a decade younger is a bad idea; moving in together is even worse. But the fierce, prickly boy he’s made his roommate makes him feel comfortable in his own skin for the first time in years. Noel has demons of his own. Beneath the sharp edges and a wildly self-destructive streak is a desperate and vulnerable need to be loved. With Luca, he feels whole in a way he never has before, and together, their chemistry is impossible to ignore. But when the past comes crashing back into their lives and old patterns resurface, Luca is forced to make a choice—one that could cost him the only person who’s ever really seen him.

SUCKER LOVE is a soft D/s, hurt/comfort MM romance centering BPD representation and brimming with angst, drama, and messy desire.

Book Two:

Months ago, Luca walked away from Noel. Now he’d do anything to get him back.

But making things right is impossible when the love of his life has blocked his number, moved apartments, and vanished from every corner of Luca’s life. Still, Luca can’t let go. He haunts the places they used to visit together, hoping for one more chance to face the boy he hurt so badly.

Noel isn’t doing well—but he’s trying. He’s going to therapy, keeping up with his new job, and learning how to survive on his own, no matter how badly it hurts. And the worst part? He’s still hopelessly in love with the man who crushed his heart.

When Noel agrees to take a heartbroken friend out for the night, the last thing he expects is for the evening to end in disaster. But at the club, Noel comes face-to-face not with Luca, but another ghost from his past.

And in a single moment, the fragile life he’s rebuilt begins to crack apart all over again.

SWALLOW is a heartfelt MM romance about fighting for happiness and finding solace in a second-chance. Featuring a very hard-won HEA, it is the second book in the Sugar Pill Duet and should be read after SUCKER LOVE.
