    I swore I wouldn't do this again. Mix sports, school, and sex. But right now the only thing standing between me and the NHL is six feet of frenemy packed into a pair of formfitting jeans that have me thinking all kinds of things I shouldn't. Mostly how to get him out of them. 
     
     
     
    I don't just want Kolby. I need him. Because I've got to pass this theater class—yeah, I said theater—if I'm going to keep my spot on the team. When tutoring sessions turn into dates-not-dates over Shipley Cider at Vino and Veritas, I realize it's going to be harder than I thought to keep my hands on my stick and off of Kolby. Worse, I think I might be falling for him. But I'm not ready for that. I want to keep this thing between us on the down low for now. 
     
     
     
    But Kolby hates secrets. Especially his own . . .

    Join the circus, see the galaxy . . . to Anwyn this sounded like a great adventure! 
     
     
     
    Anwyn Owens won her place at a prestigious starship pilot's program on Earth and graduated with honors. But nothing could have prepared her when she followed the advice of her uncle's old friend and took a job as assistant pilot for an intergalactic circus. 
     
     
     
    The circus people became friends, she was learning new skills, and she was definitely seeing more of the "less civilized" parts of the galaxy than she might have if she'd remained with her politically prominent family. 
     
     
     
    Or maybe more of an adventure than Anwyn expected. 
     
     
     
    Not everything was running smoothly. The owner was ill, the manager seemed to take an instant dislike to Anwyn. And what exactly was the manager doing on his late-night trips off their ship on various planets, anyway? 
     
     
     
    The circus had its own secrets, but now those secrets were about to blow up on them when a police force from the League of Free Planets becomes involved, along with Anwyn's prominent uncle . . . and the team of special agents she'd met through him months ago. 
     
     
     
    Everyone is converging on the circus and Anwyn and her new friends are going to need all the help they can get!

    In the winter of 1882, a boy from the mountains has to prove himself a man. 
    ~*~ 
    When Albie Bramwell’s father died, he was left with two thousand hectares of mountain to farm, and little help to run it. Abandoned by all but two of his workers, the whole town of Alpine Falls called him too young to run the farm alone. 
    Young, yes. At just nineteen, he was determined to prove them wrong. Even if it killed him. 
    In search of a new life, Percy Collins found himself in a small mountain town where he ran into a man not much older than himself and scored a job at Echo Creek. A property full of misfits, or so the townsfolk had called it. But what Percy found was a home. 
    What Albie found was something he never thought possible. A man to love, and a man to share his dreams. 
    But times were tough, the winter harsh, and money scarce. Albie and Percy would need to do more than prove themselves worthy. They’d need to not only prove themselves better than anyone else. They’d need to prove it twice.
