By Tara Lain

Blurb:
Ben Shane has it all… and he’d like to give some of it back. While he loves his job heading a foundation that funds worthy causes around the world, his engagement to one of America’s wealthiest men leaves him feeling more like a trophy wife than a valued partner. The first warning that his relationship might not be designed to last is his irresistible lust for Dusty Kincaid, the golden-haired, bright-eyed handyman for his company.

Though Dusty is odd for a twenty-three-year-old—no liquor, no sugar, and he can’t even drive—the more Ben gets to know Dusty, the more he admires him. But is Ben going to give up a guy who drives a Ferrari for one who takes the bus? He must be mad. Dusty knows he and Ben can never work. 

After all, Ben’s perfect… and Dusty isn’t. But Ben might surprise everyone with proof that he’s only madly in love.

In a moment of weakness after a heart-stopping night together, Todd agrees to be Victor’s fake boyfriend for the wedding. Victor will have his plus-one—which will get his family off his back—and Todd will get a free mini-vacation. It’s a win-win.

A warm-hearted rich man's son, Richard Gardener needs to overcome three obstacles: find a way the family business can run without him, help his mother cope with grief, and stop butting heads -- and other parts of his anatomy -- with the gardener.

Ethan Fields has worked for the Gardener family for many years. He’s struggling with debt and the desire to leave, and has loved Richard far longer than the man would believe. Ethan can cope with most things, but his anger with Richard’s mother won’t fade. Until that and his feelings for Richard are resolved, he feels trapped and, alas, the idea that sex will get Richard out of his system isn’t working.


To make the situation worse, both men assume too much and don’t say the right words, and Ethan’s offer of ‘just sex’ grows more complicated by the day. Can Richard and Ethan stop getting their wires crossed before their paths diverge?

I was just six months pregnant when I lost the man I was going to marry.

Brokenhearted, angry, and terrified, I struggle through life, determined to raise my daughter the best way I know how.
Since the day Mouse was killed, Bosco has been tasked with watching over us. As time passed, he became a part of the family, a man my daughter can rely on. A man who has never let me down, and whose intensity makes me weak in the knees. But that man is part of the same club that got Mouse killed, and there’s no way I can put myself or my daughter through that a second time.
Bosco
Taking care of Sarah and her daughter may have started out as a duty handed down to me by the president of my club, but now it’s as vital to me as breathing. Now I’ve become attached. I’ve learned how kind, brave, and sexy Sarah is. I was even there when she gave birth to the little girl that captured my heart the moment she took her first breath.
My feelings for her have turned from friendship to an all-consuming passion that threatens to burn me from the inside out, but I know she’s not ready. So, I wait. I wait while she takes the time she needs and stand by while she grieves. But when the world as we know it is rocked on its foundation, I can’t wait any longer. I need to prove to her that it’s okay to move on, that we need each other. That I will do whatever it takes to make her happy.

Book synopsis:


Sebastian Stewart was never Mr. Dependable; he was more the good-time guy who only wanted to swim, party, and ink tattoos. Until he cost his team the Olympic gold four years ago. Bas is determined to do right this time around—by his medley relay team and his rookie mentee.

Jacob Burrows is in over his head. The Olympic experience—from the hazing, to the endless practices, to the unrelenting media—makes the shy nineteen-year-old’s head spin. He’s trying to be everything to everyone while trying not to fall for his gorgeous tattooed teammate who just gets him—gets his need to fix things, his dorky pirate quips, and his bisexuality.

When Jacob falters under the stress, threatening his individual races and the medley relay gold, he needs Bas’s help to escape from drowning. Bas, however, fearing a repeat of his mistakes four years ago, pushes Jacob away, sure he’ll only let Jacob down. But the only path to salvaging gold is for Jacob to finally ask for what he needs—the heart of the man he loves—and for Bas to become the dependable one.


“How can you be your best when you’re not sure if your best will measure up? That’s the dilemma facing Bas and Jacob, as they deal with the immense pressure of swimming for Olympic gold while also trying to sort out their tangled hearts.” --Layla Reyne

Being the king of Atlanta’s underworld used to have its perks, but lately all undercover agent Renzo Vega has seen is the downside. Someone is auctioning off women in his city, and he’s damn sure not about to let that offense stand. Just as he’s set to make a move, Renzo’s club is ambushed and he’s shot. Unsure of who to trust, he turns to the one man he definitely knows wants him dead.
Yanked from his bed, blindfolded and spirited away in the middle of the night, Lowell Scott is shocked to find the darkly gorgeous Renzo bleeding and in need of his help. The very last thing he wants is to come to the aid of the man responsible for his cousin’s death, but the knife at his throat doesn’t give Low much options.
Close proximity doesn’t temper the hatred Low harbors for Renzo, it only brings up new problems. Like the vicious attraction Low struggles to control, and bullets that won’t stop flying. It’s a tough sell to believe there’s anything good in a man as unapologetically dangerous as Renzo. And even if Low could forgive the unforgivable, Renzo is still shadowed in secrets. When they’re exposed, those secrets will bring far-reaching consequences that could sever not just their shaky bond, but Low’s family ties as well.

Domenico sank deeper into his chair, reading the same paragraph for the third time in a row. He was too tired for technical jargon tonight, but he’d made a promise to himself that he would finish the chapter. So he would. Even if Seth was slow-dancing with the bread dough in the kitchen and looked so tempting with the dusting of flour on his forearms.

The more distracted Domenico was, the more prominent every sound and movement around him seemed. He noticed the rain dripping outside, and the fly buzzing in the corner of the room. But then something else altogether caught Dom’s attention. He was pretty sure the closet had been closed, but its door was now slightly open.

Some might call it procrastinating, but he decided to improve the feng shui of his living room and walked up to the closet, shutting it loudly.

There. Nothing else to distract him. Except the rain. The fly. And Seth looking so beefy Domenico low-key fantasized about wrapping him in dough.

“Psst!” came from the cabinet, making Dom freeze.

But the stupor only lasted a few seconds, and he opened up the cabinet to find Mark sitting there with wide eyes.

“Has she left yet?” Mark whispered.

Domenico didn’t have to ask who Mark meant. He knew very well those twin brown eyes licked up Selena as if she were a popsicle every time they had the chance. “She has. Why are you back in the closet?”

Mark frowned. “Ha. Ha. Ha. So funny. There are much more serious matters going on right now.”

Domenico smirked. “Like what? Is she attending the UN summit?”

“More like she wants me to be her boyfriend. How am I supposed to know if I want that? Can’t things just… flow?” he asked in frustration and crawled out of the closet.

Laughter rose in Domenico’s chest. “Hey, Seth! Mark here doesn’t know if he wants to date Selena. This will be good.”

Mark threw his arms in the air. “My life is not a joke!”

Seth walked in from the kitchen with a big smile, rubbing his hands against his apron. “Haven’t you been going out for two months or something?”

“So? What if I agree but then change my mind. I don’t want to break her heart.”

Seth exchanged a meaningful glance with Domenico, biting back a smile. Mark’s problems were so inconsequential, they bordered on relaxing.

Domenico shrugged. He had enough experience for them all. “If you don’t know, then that ship has already sailed. There’s no point in chewing on bubblegum once it loses its flavor.”
