  Lost. Stolen. Forgotten…until the Alphabits step in. 
  Leaf Erikson didn’t mean to get caught up in STAHP’s craziness. If his brother River hadn’t joined them, Leaf never would have been caught in a flood and rescued by the Alphabits. He never would have scented his mate’s scent on the helicopter pilot. Never would have known his true mate was out there. 
  But he does know. And now, he will do anything to find him, no matter what it takes. 
  Cyrus Novak has his hands full fostering a teenage former thief going through puberty. The only thing that makes him feel less alone is knowing that half his team are dealing with the same issues. He loves having someone to care for again. Ever since he and his family stopped talking, he’s had to get used to being alone. But his team has helped fill that void until now. Mostly. 
  Just when Cy thinks he’s got things figured out, a sweet, intense little cat turns his world upside down - and unintentionally brings answers to both the Alphabits’ current case and Cyrus’ estrangement with his family. 
  The Alphabits aren’t vigilantes. These former soldiers and officers of the law have to do things by the book - even when it tears them apart to do so. But once all their ducks are in a row, the bad guys had better beware! You do not want this team of protective alphas on your tail. 
  This is the sixth book in the Alphabits series, and should be listened to in order for maximum enjoyment.  
  Please note: You can expect to find naughty, knotty scenes of steamy passion along with a lot of potty-mouth language and some violence. This book contains a couple with a unique size difference - the cutest little fluffball of a cat you’ve ever seen and a lactose intolerant bear who finally learns the magic that is Bean-o. HEA definitely included, intended for listeners 18 and above only.

  Is it in bad taste to sleep with a client? Asking for a friend… 
  In high school, Derek ruled the school with his fellow hockey players, while I fantasized from afar. He only knew me as his little brother’s shy friend who, thanks to one vicious rumor from a former flame, had garnered a reputation as the school freak. 
  Twenty years later, I’m a successful real estate agent who’s put my embarrassing past behind me and smartly stayed away from love. I have things under control…until Derek suddenly returns to Sourwood sans wedding ring, and in dire need of a house for him and his daughter. 
  Clinching this sale will cement my hard-earned status as a top agent and distance me from my embarrassing past. If only I can stop shamelessly flirting with my new client. If only I can stop dreaming about him bending me over newly updated marble countertops and stainless steel appliances. Old habits die hard. 
  Soon though, my fantasy version of Derek fades away as I learn the truth about his return. Maybe I can get him to no longer see me as his little brother’s weird friend. Maybe he can get me to let down my guard and trust a guy again. 
  Or maybe those dreams are as unrealistic as the housing budget for a couple on House Hunters. 
  The Fireman and the Flirt is the fourth book in the Single Dads Club series, but can be read as a standalone. It will give you all the brother's best friend, businessman/client, nerd/jock vibes you can handle without charging a commission.
