Roman "Quick" Webb is one badass bounty hunter on the crime-filled streets of Atlanta. He's fearless when it comes to carrying out his dangerous job alongside his longtime best friend and business partner, Duke. However, there is one thing that has begun to cause Quick concern and it's the dreadful thought of living out the rest of his life alone. Seeing his best friend and his son fall in love and sharing the special connection that only true soulmates can, has made him all the more aware of what's lacking in his life. Love.Dr. Cayson Chauncey has been wildly attracted to the big, tattooed hunter for almost a year, ever since he performed the surgery that saved Quick's best friend's life. Cayson must've mistaken Quick's gratitude for something more, because the one time he tried to make his desires known, he was harshly rebuffed and left on the man's doorstep feeling stupid for hitting on an obviously very straight man. Cayson never dated a man who was willing to come out of hiding and be with him. Now at almost forty, Cayson is intent on no longer being anyone's dirty secret. Having experienced countless disappointments, and having taken a stand not to fall for any more tricks, Cayson is more than a little skeptical when Quick comes around asking for a second chance to prove himself. The gorgeous man had already made it clear he was definitely uninterested in Cayson... or so he'd thought.Dr. Chauncey stirred up Quick's suppressed, most carnal desires from a place deep down inside of him. He'd reacted so badly the first time that now his sexy surgeon wanted nothing to do with him. It was going to take a fair amount of patience and a whole lot of wooing involved as Quick sets out to convince Cayson that he's worth another chance and that he is the brave lover who Cayson has been looking for.With a scorned ex and a very dangerous job thrown into the mix, Cayson's happiness and all of Quick's promises may not be as easy to keep as they'd hoped.PARTS ONE AND TWO IN THIS SERIES CAN BOTH BE READ AS STANDALONES. THERE ARE NO CLIFFHANGERS IN EITHER BOOKS.

ChristianAs a younger man, I imagined my future with my wife by my side and my sights set firmly on British politics—with the ultimate goal of one day becoming prime minister. A life of value, of purpose. A life where my morals might mean something, and where I could make a difference.But that vision has crumbled. My wife is gone. My political career lies in ruins. And my relationship with my son is barely breathing. What’s left is a slow decline into disillusionment and solitude.Until I meet him.Asher Fox is a rainbow breaking through a storm. A diamond gleaming from the dullest stone. Being with him feels as natural as breathing, as vital as living — and I haven’t wanted to live this fiercely in a very long time.Now, when I’m offered the chance to reclaim the life I lost, I face a choice. Nothing has unfolded as I once imagined, and I never pictured a future with Asher. But maybe that’s exactly why I should hold onto him with both hands, and never let go.AsherI grew up in a world where love was conditional and God was always watching. Turns out, God didn’t like what He saw. The minute I realized I was gay, I knew I had two options: stay and suffocate, or leave and breathe. So I walked away.Now, I make art, I make porn, and I make no apologies. I’ve built a life where I get to be exactly who I am, on my own terms. No guilt. No shame. No lies. Some people judge me for it— my family certainly would if they knew — but at least I’m free, at least I’m honest. But freedom doesn’t block out the part of me that wants more: a home, a family, a place where I get to live without conditions and be loved without shame.And then I meet Christian. Mr. Buttoned-Up Politics himself. All brooding eyes and careful words, a man who looks like he’s never coloured outside the lines in his life. He’s calm where I’m chaos, steady where I’m fire, and he’s serious enough to make me want to see what he looks like when he unravels.Falling for him? Easy. Getting him to believe he deserves me? Now that’s the real work of art.

The three beautiful words a man longs to hear from a woman…Teach me tonight. When tomboy sports reporter Charli Beaumonde loses a dream TV job because she’s not girly enough for primetime, she’s determined to land a big scoop and prove her boss made a mistake. But when she gets too close to a football scandal and finds her life threatened, Charli accepts an offer from family friend Grant Waters to hide out at his place—even if Grant predicts nothing but trouble from his buddy’s hard-headed, uncompromising, irrepressible, younger sister. There’s one more problem… Grant’s “place” is The Ranch, a BDSM resort in Texas, and he’s used to being in charge —even if that means trying to keep Charli in line. But much to Grant’s surprise, she’s intrigued—even envious—of his trainees. They’re the epitome of what she’s never been: sexy, beguiling, and totally irresistible to a man. Still, Grant doesn’t believe for a minute that the sharp-tongued Charli has it in her to be anyone’s submissive. But Charli’s already on her knees vying for the chance to prove that even the Master can be wrong sometimes.  

A bounty hunter's partners to lovers' story. The hunt is on... and he's the prey. Bradford (Ford) King was sure he had the rest of his life mapped out. Though he was no longer a SEAL Lieutenant, his brother was home safe and he had a job that still allowed him to satisfy his hunger for hunting bad guys. Life was simple, no distractions or complications - at age forty-six - that's all Ford wanted. What he didn't want was his work partner, sniper/watchman, Dana, giving him s**t all the time. Dana Cadby had grown up labeled a roughneck from the wrong side of the tracks. He'd fought, scrounged, and survived despite a father that constantly told him he couldn't. Dana pulled himself up by his own boot straps and made a name for himself in the marksman community. He'd been Duke's bounty watchman for five years. It was his job to ensure their safety, watch their backs. At thirty-three, he was trusted, well respected by his peers, his bosses, his friends... so why couldn't he earn the same respect from his partner? Dana knew he was bisexual before he graduated high school. He also knew he was attracted to the huge, 6'3", SEAL from the moment he and his brother came to join their team. It wasn't easy for him to tamp down his immediate reaction to Ford's thick muscles, full beard, and dark eyes. Still, Dana exhibited nothing but professionalism towards him, not wanting to make his 'straight' partner uncomfortable. After Dana took back his ex-girlfriend, he'd noticed an intensification in Ford's bad attitude. One that turned aggressive and downright antagonistic, and Dana was damned if he'd just lay down and take it. He was gonna make that man respect him if it was the last thing he did. When Duke sends Dana and Ford out to track down their most dangerous bounty yet, they both embrace the fact that they make one hell of a team... but they fight tooth and nail against the powerful intimacy brewing between them. Beware: When Ford and Dana connect, no fugitive can hide from the hunter and his watchman.
