“I can’t help unless you let me.”
“I might be alone, but at least I’m safe.”
Martin Painter has been a recluse since his parents died when he was seventeen. Material things can’t patch the holes in his heart. When his sister drags him to a charity auction, the last thing he expects to win is a date with a handsome stranger. He can feel the attraction starting, but he’s too awkward for a platonic “date,” let alone real love.
“Do you ever wonder if you made a wrong turn somewhere?”
Charity owner Travis Cole throws an auction to scrape together extra funds. Up on the auction block? Haute cooking lessons and a dinner with himself. He never thought the winner would be a man. And he never expected to care so much about the soft-spoken, sad-eyed loner who won him.
“We’ve both got too much to lose, don’t we?”
They aren’t sure they’re capable of love. But they can’t deny it: there’s something between them as powerful as gravity, even if it’s just a desire to help one another let go of the past. While Travis teaches Martin how to cook, can they teach each other to be happy?
The second chance of a lifetime.
Burned by a hoax that nearly ended his career, Josh–a veterinarian and retired cryptozoologist–has been in hiding from the rest of the Bigfoot hunting community for years. He’s also been hiding from Dorian, his ex-partner and ex-boyfriend. His life is boring, but at least it’s normal.
The big break Dorian’s been waiting for has finally happened–someone brought back a sasquatch body, and this is his opportunity to complete his life’s work. The only person he trusts to do the autopsy and validate the find isn’t speaking to him, but he’s sure Josh will do this one last favour for a man he once promised to spend his entire life with.
After the discovery of one body, Josh and Dorian take to the wilderness in the hopes of bringing in a live specimen, unsure where they stand with the other after years of being out of contact. They were in love and happy once, but it’s not certain they could even be friends now. Will they find more out there than the fabled missing link? Or will this expedition prove to be the final nail in the coffin of both their careers and their relationship?
“You have to trust me.”
“I never thought they’d lie to me.”
Child actor Ethan Summer’s only downtime was at their Florida beachfront house. His closest friend was Luis, their maid’s son… until Ethan’s parents whisked him away so Luis couldn’t sell him out to the tabloids.

“I know what grief looks like.”
Luis Fitzgerald was supposed to make something of himself, but when his mother got sick, his dreams were traded for hard ranch work. After she died, he secretly took over her housekeeping work. The Summers haven’t visited since his first love left him without a word, and he needs the job. When gorgeous, expressive Ethan stumbles in, he’s everything Luis never stopped wanting and everything he fears.
“You aren’t responsible for keeping me safe.”
Old feelings and wounds are hard to ignore. Once-coddled Ethan has to stand up for himself when he can barely make soup. Can they forgive and support each other in the glare of camera lenses, or will their fears keep their worlds apart?

Until he tangles with a man who plays by totally different rules.

Falling in love with one of his clients wasn’t in the game plan, but Declan can’t seem to help himself. Killian Hamilton is sweet and kind, with a stutter Declan can’t help but find adorable. Surely, if anyone could overlook Declan’s choice of employment, it would be a kindhearted man like Killian.
What Declan doesn’t count on is Killian’s connection to one of the brothel’s regular clients, or the way his love life is about to blow up in his face.
