Summary

Lonely young shepherd Callum spends many sleepless nights in his clifftop cottage longing for a man to share his life and his bed. A companion to work at his side in the daytime, a lover to lie at his side in the darkness.
One day, as he gathers firewood on the beach, he finds Breen, a strange, beautiful, and naked man lying in the surf, apparently washed ashore. Has the sea heard the silent prayers of Callum's heart and brought him this man to answer those prayers? Breen makes love to him, leaving Callum in a blissful sleep, from which he wakes alone, fearing Breen was no more than another dream. But when Breen is there again the next day, Callum knows he's real.
With Breen in his cottage and his bed, Callum thinks he's the happiest man that ever drew breath. Until he grows suspicious of such perfection, knowing no mortal man ever has such unalloyed bliss. Until he defies the voices in his mind that tell him not to question his good fortune. Not to ask how the larder is so full all of the time. Or why the dog won't come into the house. Or where Breen goes at night when Callum is asleep. Searching for the answers will lead Callum to make the worst mistake of his life.

Thom Baron has been struggling with social anxiety his entire life. He's taken the medications, gone to the therapists, followed the programs, and concluded his best life is a solitary one. When he comes across a dog in obvious need at his local market, it rekindles the desire to have some company around. It may come with a dishevelled coat, a notched ear, and a refusal to respond to anything but its given name "Ugly," but it could still be a friend.
However, Thom's new fur buddy has no such need to keep to itself and immediately befriends the man Thom has secretly coveted since he moved in -- Justin, Thom's gorgeous, bright-eyed neighbour. No matter how Thom tries to evade the man, the dog keeps drawing them back into each other's lives, and it doesn't take Thom long to recognize it's simply pursuing the demands of Thom's own heart. With the dog giving him the courage to try, Thom reaches out to return the love being offered. 
Until a stranger shows up insisting the dog is his and demanding its immediate return ... a loss Thom knows will take all of his efforts and newfound confidence with it.

Can you forgive being rejected by your mate?
For as long as Jyran Pechman can remember, he's dreamed about finding his soulmate. As a child, he lost his family, and he's been moving around ever since. He hates it, and he wants nothing more than to have a home. A mate. A place to belong.
Gideon Everett might have dreamed about the day he'd find his mate, but his mate was never an unorganized, nut-hoarding squirrel shifter in those dreams. Wolves eat squirrels, so when Jyran walks into Gideon's bar, he throws him out and tells him he wants nothing to do with him. He has a reputation to think about, and he will not be known as the wolf who mated a squirrel.
Being rejected hurts more than Jyran ever imagined, and he swears never to set foot in Gideon's bar again. After the initial shock, Gideon is almost sure he made the right decision. Almost. What if he made the wrong decision? Now when he knows his mate is out there, can he live on as if they've never met, or does he have to ... ugh ... apologize?
