Summary

Lloyd Lasky is a seasoned operative for the Whitlock Detective Agency in Denver that often infiltrates outlaw gangs in order to thwart stagecoach robberies. When he's assigned to infiltrate the Bonner Gang based in Devil's Paw, Arizona Territory, he's unprepared for the personal ambush his heart suffers over gang member Frank Metty.
Taking up sex with Frank, Lloyd convinces himself that doing so is part of his job in solidifying his place in the gang and learning of their plans. But as time passes, Lloyd not only starts to care for the younger man, but jealousy also rears its ugly head when it becomes clear the gang leader, Merle Bonner, also has a sexual claim on Frank. 
When the line between self-indulgence and detective work blurs to the point where Lloyd considers not only breaking agency rules but breaking the law, will he be able to ignore his ever-growing sexual desires and successfully complete his dangerous mission?

    Nestled in a towering fir forest on British Columbia's famous Vancouver Island, Three Rivers Campground is calling you to come relax, explore, and maybe even fall in love . . . 
     
     
     
    Emily Rivers does not have time for love. 
     
     
     
    Or dating. Or even a one night stand. 
     
     
     
    As the eldest of the Rivers sisters, she's too focused on keeping her family's campground running in the wake of a devastating tragedy to even think about romance. 
     
     
     
    When Kim Jefferies shows up at the local small town bar looking like a lesbian snack on a stick, Emily writes her off as yet another tourist just passing through—no matter how much the butterflies in her stomach try to tell her otherwise. 
     
     
     
    Only Kim's plans of 'passing through' fade the second she sees Emily Rivers, despite the fact that the whole point of her soul-searching journey was to stop falling for random women in bars who only lead her to heartbreak. 
     
     
     
    The last thing they're looking for is a love story, but with the help of some conniving sisters, an interfering bartender, and the magic of the great outdoors, that might be exactly what Kim and Emily are going to get.

    Cassandra Lightman grew up making trinkets and toys. She was on her way to inventing a "flying machine" when she was committed to a sanatorium for hysteria. That's where Dr. Timothy Brown found Sandra and saw her promising intelligence. After Sandra shows Dr. Brown how to cure hysteria in women, she begins to work under him in his medical practice. Since Sandra cannot practice medicine and has no support from her family, she must carry on her position in secret. She goes into Dr. Brown's office through the back door, speaking to no one, and always covering her face.
    Sandra soon meets Bedelia Morten, one of her patients behind the red curtain. Bedelia Morten is an upper class wife with a banker husband and three children of her own. She suffers from insomnia and nightmares, which leads her to seek out Dr. Brown's practice. Though Bedelia is initially skeptical of Sandra's skill, she soon learns to appreciate Sandra's talent and company. 
    When their relationship becomes too close, Sandra is encouraged by Dr. Brown to invent a "stand-in" for herself. Sandra goes back to her experimental roots and visits her idol-inventor Marlin Manchester. Sandra works many long nights in hopes of creating the first steam-powered vibrator. When Sandra's invention takes off, she is forced to reconsider her role both in and out of the examination room, her future, and who she wants by her side.

    Then all hell breaks loose. 
    Ricky asks his coworker (and frenemy) Jamie Oakley to do him a favor and help him move some boxes. What Ricky knows about Jamie is simple: he's blonde, beautiful, and mean. The stud isn't nice to anyone. Not to Ricky. Not to his boyfriends. No one. 
    When Ricky confronts Jamie about being mean, the two have a hellacious argument. Ricky ignores him for a week, but something strange happens. Jamie claims he misses Ricky, and promises to be nice to him. 
    Is this the beginning of a changed relationship -- and romance -- between the men? Or is Jamie just being his usual mean guy self, leading Ricky's heart astray?

    I was close to losing consciousness, and as water flooded my lungs, only one overpowering thought consumed my existence; I needed to make him leave, or we would both drown here. - Nathaniel Small. 
    Now under the curse of a witch, Deputy Charles Walsh falls further into the horrifying reality of his world. He is inadvertently drawn into a decades-long war between fae, and while the needlessly terrifying people around him feud, he is doing his best to protect those he cares about. 
    More of Eric’s dark past is revealed, and long-buried secrets begin to surface. It would seem that not all monsters are so easily distinguished, and as it becomes apparent that some are worse than others, bonds of loyalty are tested.

He has no intention of becoming emotionally involved with a cop who is certain to despise Cal when he learns the truth about him. 
    The longer Cal stays the stronger his urge to run grows, but the harder it becomes to give up the safety of the community and his new friends. The harder it becomes to give up Mitch.

    I'm just an ordinary guy . . . who feeds on sexual energy. 
     
     
     
    I never knew my dad. Mom said he was a nice enough guy, fun for a night, but she never did get his name. I didn't miss him, and my life is good. 
     
     
     
    Then a government agent shows up at my door and announces that I'm not really human. Dear old Dad was actually an incubus, a being that needs sexual energy to survive, and apparently that means I am too. Gotta be a scam, right? 
     
     
     
    Or so I think . . . until Agent Cutie changes into a canine (not a werewolf) in my living room and then eats half a dozen Christmas cookies while making orgasm sounds. Turns out, other species do exist. 
     
     
     
    On the plus side, being a stripper means that all my incubus needs are being met without me even trying. And now that I know the situation in my pants is normal for an incubus, I don't feel self-conscious . . . so a fling with Agent Mark is definitely on the table. 
     
     
     
    Between being sexy Santa at work, supplying a team of hellhounds with Christmas cookies, and learning what stamina in the bedroom really is, I'm discovering that my old life was kind of empty. Maybe I'm not such an ordinary guy after all.
