Summary

Seven years ago as the economy collapsed amidst ever more serious climate disasters, Ethan Casey went into a billionaire's survival bunker in the wilds of Alberta. Now suspecting his boss is not telling the bunker's staff the truth, Ethan sneaks out to learn if the world is really in chaos. He meets forest ranger Jules Martell, who tells him the world is changed but is rebuilding, and that he and everyone in the bunker would be welcome in the nearby town of Goose Lodge.
Ethan returns to the bunker to tell the others the truth, prompting many of them to leave with him. Ethan had to go back to bring the others out, but he had to return to Goose Lodge to find Jules again. This time, he knows he will never return to that hole in the ground. Jules becomes Ethan's guide to the town, and the way they live there, introducing him to strange ideas Ethan must learn to embrace. As they grow closer Ethan also becomes a forest ranger, and he and Jules act as liaisons to the bunker, tasked with persuading the last holdouts to leave. Soon only Ethan's old boss, Sinclair, remains stubbornly locked in, with a vault of gold and gems, and dwindling food supplies. 
Spending time alone in the forest with Jules feels like all Ethan needs to make him happy. But the forest holds secrets and sadness for Jules, and the town is not the perfect utopia Ethan thought at first. And Sinclair, alone in the bunker, is growing ever more afraid and bitter, and determined to ruin the happiness Ethan has found with Jules.

    Meghan Koo doesn't take life too seriously—especially not in the ten years since she's broken away from her conservative, homophobic upbringing. Now, as the drummer for The Shrikes, she's touring the world and getting to play the music she loves. 
    Collins has fought for years to be taken seriously as a woman in a male-dominated industry. As one of the most well-respected producers in the world, she doesn't have time or energy to take others feelings into consideration, earning her a fairly . . . callous reputation. 
    When The Shrikes land the amazing opportunity to have a live show and album special produced, the record label taps Collins to produce—given that she did an incredible job on The Shrikes' Kaleidoscope album. When the opportunity arises for Collins to take over as director, she's told that Meg is the key to getting The Shrikes to back her new role. 
    Now, Collins finds that she has to get Meg on her side, and they're both a bit surprised by what they find once they stop arguing and start getting to know one another. 
    Will the two women be able to call a truce in order for the show to go on? Or will the fireworks between them set the entire concert on fire?

    Ruger James Fulton is used to being confused. After barely graduating from high school, RJ took his one marketable skill and opened up an auto shop in town. Cars have always made sense to him, while the rest of the world makes him feel like an idiot. 
    The one thing he never had to think twice about was his sexuality until one night during a chance encounter with a biker from a rival MC. All it takes is a few minutes to turn RJ’s world upside down, leaving him to question everything he thought he knew about himself. 
    Thane Montgomery has spent the majority of his life alone, fending for himself. After finally finding a family with the Devil Hounds MC, he won’t do anything to screw it up, even if that means staying in the closet. He does whatever he’s told, like a good soldier should, in exchange for the club’s acceptance. 
    When Thane gets shot protecting the president’s daughter, he ends up in the last place he expected – in the home of one of the club’s enemies. Some of which are still holding one hell of a grudge against him. 
    RJ is furious when he finds out that the man who kidnapped his prospect is going to be a guest in his house. But mostly, he’s nervous about what may happen in such a close proximity to the only man he’s ever wanted.
