Falling for your former best friend? Never a good idea.

Ethan Lewis is the joker of his rugby team, the guy who's always up for a good time. The only thing that can wipe the smile from his face is any mention of his former best friend. Luke was the one bright spot in Ethan's messed up childhood and losing his friendship was the most difficult thing he's ever had to cope with. Ethan knows he broke the bro-code by hooking up with Luke's sister, but the result was his son - and he wouldn't change that for the world. When he hears Luke's signed a contract to play for his team, Ethan decides he's going to do everything he can to get his best friend back.

Luke's returned to New Zealand from playing rugby overseas, determined to achieve his lifelong dream and make the national team. And he's not about to let Ethan's presence distract him. So what if one of his new teammates is the person who shredded his heart? Luke's moved past that, and he's happy now with his new boyfriend. There's no way he's falling back under Ethan's spell.

But it turns out no matter how good you are at evading the opposition, there's one thing you can never escape - and that's the love of your life.

Fleeing from his dangerous dragon family, half-human omega Raka finds himself unable to control his desires for Delos, the winsome ice dragon alpha he hired to escort him across the frozen sea. But falling in love was never part of the escape plan. To protect them both, Raka vanishes from the flaming wreckage of their ship, leaving Delos behind with a broken heart - not knowing he's carrying the alpha's child.

After seven years, Delos’s icy heart shows no sign of thawing. On an away mission for his dragon flight brothers, he unexpectedly finds the omega he can’t forget. His resentment is matched only by his enduring need for Raka, but the omega is in hiding, unable to leave his library sanctuary. It’s clear they can’t have a second chance together - but then there’s Raka’s son, the boisterous little boy who looks so much like Delos. The child needs an alpha to teach him how to be an ice dragon - can Delos open his heart and become the daddy he was meant to be?

I approach Zio in search of a no-strings-attached evening of fun to kick off my business trip to Hawaii. But I get way more than I bargained for when I discover a shy, nerdy sweetheart who finds beauty in my flaws. He even accepts the parts of my heart that I hide from the world. It makes me want to make him mine - not just for one night but for every night of the rest of our lives.

He says he's straight, but when have I ever let that stop me from getting what I want?

Until death does us part, but it's knocking on our door...

I'd had enough. That's how I found myself in a dingy alleyway with my revolver in my hand. I was sick and dying anyway, and there was nothing I could do about it. Nothing except maybe taking back some shred of control by going out on my own terms.

Surrounded by the darkness of my own mind, this was the only solution I could see, but before I could do something I'd regret, rock star Anno Goodkind crashed into my life and flipped it upside down.

It was supposed to be one casual hookup. No complications and definitely no feelings. No, the most logical thing to do would be to stuff my emotions down so nobody got hurt. Especially not him. But nobody told me that love didn't give a damn about logic.

It's only temporary, so why can't I walk away?

When my latest assignment lands me in Apple Meadows, Vermont, it's just another step on my career ladder. Take photos, type a write-up, and move to the next place. I don't have time for distractions if I want to be one of the top photographers in the business.

I don't expect Julian, the owner of the barely functioning bed-and-breakfast I'm staying at, with his gorgeous jawline and a hidden past. Sweet, happy, and clumsy to a fault - Julian is my complete opposite. How could a guy with a falling down B & B be so damn cheerful all the time?

I've always fallen for the wrong type of guy, the type of guy Julian isn't. But my career has to be the highest priority - I've put in too much time and effort to get distracted by just another stop along my way to the top of the photography world. The way he looks at me makes me want more, just for a night. Anything more would be a distraction... even if he does make my heart skip a beat every time he fixes me with one of those breathtaking smiles. But every time I get close he pulls away.

Could my years of traveling lead to forever in this small town – and into Julian's arms?

Irritating people to death isn't easy.

On his first day of school, Maddox shared his crayons with a young werewolf and gained a best friend for life. Fiercely loyal, kind, and always up for a good time, Vidarr is a cinnamon bun and Maddox would do anything to protect him.

Vidarr’s older brother, Thor, on the other hand, Maddox would gladly push into a sinkhole. Where Vidarr is happy, good-natured, and kind, Thor is a brutish bully who’s hated Maddox since the day they lay eyes on each other.

The feeling is almost mutual.

Thor, with his big muscles, leather jackets, and thighs that could crush boulders, is the worst person Maddox knows, and Maddox would rather eat sand than admit that the highlight of his week is when they inevitably get into a fight and Thor puts him in a headlock.

It’s purely physical, Maddox tries to convince himself. Thor is the pinnacle of a werewolf alpha--with his chiseled features, dominant attitude, and tendency to manhandle people into submission--and anyone with eyes would be attracted to him. Right?

Of all the guys in the world, the one I can never have is the one I crushed on my entire life.
