Otter Bay #1
Butt naked and dripping wet wasn't how I expected to meet the man of my dreams.
After a bad breakup, a rough year at his New York ice cream parlour, and no luck jumping back into the dating pool, celebrated pastry chef Hayden agrees to spend the summer with his dad in his childhood home on the Oregon coast to get away from it all.
He's not expecting the first thing he sees when he arrives to be a beautiful, naked, soaking wet man. Nor is he expecting this to be the famous Wes—his dad's live-in personal assistant and all-round sweetheart.
Wes doesn't do relationships, but Hayden turns out to be an itch begging to be scratched—even if he is the boss's son and they'll have to keep their summer fling a secret.
Sparks—and clothes—fly, but what Wes wasn't planning for was to find a sweet, warm, kind soul under Hayden's icy outer layer. Or to start falling for a man he knows he can't have...
... but that isn't going to stop either of them from melting.
Melting is a full-length standalone MM romance novel. It ends with a very sweet HEA, and contains: many pints of ice cream, long summer days, hot summer nights, a very special pair of black skinny jeans, important tops vs. bottoms debates, an antique ice cream churn, a stuffed otter, a duck with anger management issues, and true love, ultimately, conquering all.
Summary:
Things couldn’t get much more ridiculous for Andy over the holiday season.

And it’s not even Christmas yet.
But mistletoe kisses are sweet, and knights in shining armour are sexy, and when Kit and Andy finally fall into bed together, everything seems right in the world.
Now they just have to survive the rest of the holidays.
Summary:
Rule #1 of being a successful male nanny: do not fall in love with the straight, single father you were hired by.
Single father Mark doesn’t have enough hours in the day to both take care of his son, Dylan, and work his stressful marketing job by himself. Facing the prospect of having to leave Dylan with his aunt over the summer break, he realises that what he needs is a nanny.
Thankfully, Mannies Inc. have just the right guy for the job. Josh is qualified, good with kids, and more or less a human ray of sunshine. His resumé speaks for itself, and when he and Dylan hit it off, Mark knows he’s the perfect person to hire.
Mark’s never thought of himself as attracted to other men, but Josh is so warm and kind and good to him, not to mention amazing with Dylan. He finds himself drawn to the other man in a way he’s never experienced before, but he’s been alone for so long that he can’t bring himself to care. So what if he’s suddenly attracted to a man?
Josh is also struggling with his attraction to Mark, a man who represents everything he wants in life--stability, companionship, and a family of his own. He knows better than to believe that Mark would want him like that, but it’s so easy to dream…
Both men have already been hurt by love, but can they open their hearts again before their doubts tear them apart? Or will their worlds prove to be too different for them to be together?
Manny Makes Three is a standalone gay romance, with a HEA and no cliffhanger. It does, however, have plastic dinosaurs, a perceptive six-year-old, explicit sex scenes, and a date at the zoo.
Summary:
Guardian Angels Security #1
Hooking up with a hot bodyguard? Sounds awesome. Until you actually need one…
Miles: All I could think as I answered the door to my hotel room was jackpot.
Gray turned out to be a fun hookup—and a professional bodyguard, which was hotter than I ever would have admitted.
Then I suddenly needed one, and, well… who else was I going to hire? I didn’t think it was anything serious at first, but now my life is being turned upside down and I’m just as scared as I was when I was a kid. Gray’s more than just easy on the eyes—he’s safe. He makes me feel safe.
I know I can’t keep him when all this is over, I know he’d never want a skinny rich kid for a boyfriend, but it’s hard not to dream…
Gray: I’d given him my business card, hadn’t I?
Miles had been cute and fun when I first hooked up with him, and I’d been hoping for a call. What I hadn’t expected was for the call to end in a job offer, instead of another round in a hotel room.
But Miles really does need my help, and I need a new client to stop my fledgling security business going under. It’s a match made in heaven, right?
Or it would be if I didn’t want to wrap him up in a blanket and kiss him to sleep.
Guarded is a full-length, complete gay romance with a HEA ending, and the first book in the Guardian Angels Security series—wait until you meet the rest of the boys! It contains: a hotel room hookup, a self-defense dress shoe, a rainbow bookshelf, two jars of cookie butter, steamy sex scenes, a not-quite-mustache-twirling villain, and true love conquering all.
Summary:
“I need a hug, a drink, and a green card.”
Noah’s otherwise average life has just hit a wall. As an out-and-proud roller derby player, his team is right in the middle of qualifying for next year’s national competition when he suddenly loses his job--and therefore the work visa that was keeping him in the country.
Unexpected help comes in the form of Jace, his straight best friend and ‘derby husband,’ the guy who always looks out for him on the track. The solution to all of Noah’s problems? Get fake married to Jace, get his green card, and play out the rest of the season after all. It almost sounds too good to be true.
Jace has two loves in his life: his career as a pediatric nurse, and his roller derby team. When he finds out that their star player is on the verge of being deported, he’s willing to do anything to stop it--including marrying the guy. It’s only for three years, and it’s not as though anyone's going to get hurt.
Things get messy when Jace begins to realise he may not be as straight as he’s always thought he was. Since when did Noah have such pretty eyes? And why the hell is he thinking about him all the time?
Between a jealous rival, Noah’s ex-boyfriend, and the mother-in-law from hell, Jace comes to realise that he wants more out of this marriage than the chance to head to the national championships.
All he has to do now is summon the courage to tell Noah that. And win the rest of the games in the season. And deal with his new mother-in-law. Easy.
Taking a Knee is a standalone contemporary gay romance novel. It does not contain a cliffhanger, but it does contain several minor injuries, the phrase ‘gay chicken’, derby names, great asses, explicit sex scenes, and a happily ever after.
