Rule #1 Straight military men will always be straight, no matter how much you wish otherwise Rule #2 Being a billionaire won't change that (probably) Rule #3 The whole thing between you when you were in high school? It was only fantasy Rule #4 One-sided fantasy Rule #5 God, how great would it be if it was a two-sided fantasy? Rule #6 Okay, getting off track Rule #7 Hiring your hot high school crush is totally okay Rule #8 If you don't let your feelings get in the way, everything will be fine Marshall Lloyd is about to be very not fine. Not only is his high school crush back in his life, but he's matured into a gruff, brooding, drop-dead-gorgeous specimen of a man that makes Marshall's wet dreams seem about as exciting as drying paint. The only problem: Fox Fraser, the individual in question, is straight. Super straight. The kind of straight that would make a ruler jealous. But if what Marshall sees when he looks in Fox's eyes is to be believed, he's broken, too. There are scars inside of him that no one notices. No one but Marshall. It's not wrong to want to help him, is it? To hire him to take care of things around the house so he can get back on his feet? It's just work. Work that leads to lingering looks. To prolonged touches. To... mmph. It's better not to think about it. Marshall's fantasies aren't real. A guy like Fox would never pin him to a wall and do things to him like that. Maybe. Probably. Right? After the Crash is the first book in the Small Town Hearts series, which features heroes scattered across the rural United States who find love where they're least expecting it. In addition to explosive chemistry, you can expect sneezing bushes, tea that tastes like hay, and a wet wrestling match that's just boys having fun, Mom.

A Small Town Hearts Novel

After the Crash

Russ They call me a bad boy, and thirteen years ago, they would have been right. I've done things I'm not proud of. Served time. Broken hearts and bones alike. But I'm a changed man now. I don't break the law for a living anymore; I write books about guys like me falling in love with other guys. It's as close to a happily ever after as I think I'll get... Until Colton shows up in my remote cabin in the middle of a snowstorm, so timid and young and sweet. I've given up my wicked ways, but damn if he doesn't make me want to do bad, bad things... Colton I didn't mean to get lost on my way to the big New Year's Eve party, and I definitely didn't mean to drive my car into a snowbank, but here I am in the middle of nowhere, stranded in front of a creepy cabin, about to freeze to death. The only way I'll make it through the night is if I go inside, but there's no telling who might be in there. It very well could be a serial killer, or a horror movie monster... Or a bearded, tattooed bad boy with a big secret who'll steal my heart and make me never want to leave. Bad Boy is the first book in the Masters of Romance series, where romance authors don't just write about happily ever afters-they live them. Get ready for love, laughter, and some serious steam. No cheating and no love triangles, guaranteed. Bad Boy can be read as a stand-alone, but it's way more fun to binge them all. Which author are you most excited to see get his HEA?

A Masters of Romance Novel

Bad Boy

They say joining the Army changes a man... too bad Chris never got the memo. Sure, his battle-sculpted body and brooding blue eyes are hotter than asphalt in summer, but he's still every bit the jerk he was before leaving their small town for the military years ago. Pompous. Arrogant. Cocky as hell... and constantly on Warren's mind. It should be easy to ignore him. Straight single dads aren't worth pining over, and straight a*holes even less. If only Warren could stop dreaming about the way it would feel if Chris were to grab him by the hair, rake his teeth down his neck, and-well, you get the point. The problem is, Warren's fantasies aren't likely to dry up, because something about Chris did change while he was away... and the glint of desire in his eyes when he argues with Warren now? There's nothing straight about that. During the Flight is the hot and hilarious third book in the Small Town Hearts series, but no knowledge of previous books is needed to fall in love with this one.

During the Flight

Rule #1 Don't fall for the ridiculously hot straight guy Rule #2 Especially not if he's your best friend Rule #3 Extra-especially not when you're supposed to be his private tutor Rule #4 Oh, god, but those eyes Rule #5 Okay, maybe eyes are fine if you don't look south Rule #6 Don't look south Rule #7 You looked south, didn't you? Rule #8 Are you even listening? Gabe Mitchell isn't listening. What's worse, ever since he moved back to the small town he thought he'd left for good, he's turned into a habitual rule breaker. Falling for his straight best friend, Clark Summers? Check. Falling for his straight best friend, Clark Summers, who also happens to be his newest mature student? Check. And don't you dare get him started about what's going on down south, because Gabe doesn't need to check that to know he's in deep. It's a good thing Clark's missed him these last four years, and a better thing that he's willing to do whatever it takes to have Gabe back in his life, because rules are about to be broken. All of them. And Clark's only rule? The one about being straight? It might just end up broken, too. Before the Call is the second book in the Small Town Hearts series, which features heroes scattered across the rural United States who find love where they're least expecting it. In addition to friendship that turns red-hot, you can expect to find generous servings of vanilla ice cream that are anything but vanilla, interesting "tutoring" techniques, a nerd who's head over heels for the best friend he can't have, and a jock who loves his Dork even after years apart.
