A Cure for Boredom

Edward Kendrick

Sinossi

Sequel to Wrong Side of the Law
Bored with the repetitiveness of his job as an actor, Dante Hathaway comes up with what he thinks is the perfect solution. He and his lover, Kade Benton, should rob a jewelry store. After all, with his theatrical training and Kade's makeup proficiency, they ought to be able to carry it off with no problems. They do, and elated by their success, they decide to hit up a gallery next. 
They are stopped in the nick of time by Dirk Steele and Maverick, who point out that they know a good deal less than they think about what it takes to pull off a successful caper. That might have been the end of their criminal careers if Dirk and Maverick hadn't decided their theatrical skills could be useful to their team of topnotch thieves. 
When they're offered a place on the team, Dante and Kade accept, and soon discover that boredom might have been the least of their worries.

Once upon a time, the two shared a smoldering, passionate kiss while their prom dates were passed out ... and never spoke of it again.

This time, hopefully for good!
Trevor hasn't seen Knox since he left town right after graduation without so much as a backward glance. Suddenly he's Trevor's boss and staying at the same hotel where they'd shared their first, and only, kiss. One of the front desk clerks is Trevor's regular customer and, for a few gift cards, Trevor checks into the room next door to Knox's. The room with the adjoining doors he plans to keep unlocked all week, just in case!

The Fake Boyfriends Debacle

Caleb: Nobody ever looks past the mask I wear. Not until I meet Jayden Harris, the adorably bossy scholarship student with a razor-sharp focus and an unbreakable determination to be the best of us all. 
 
 
 
He says he doesn't have time for dating. He says I'm just a player. If I could prove to him that I'm worth falling in love with, he might change his mind. But asking him to be my fake boyfriend for a massive family gathering probably wasn't my greatest idea. 
 
 
 
We're a lost cause, but I just can't let him go. 
 
 
 
Jayden: It was just a one-time thing. And then a two-time thing. And a three-time thing. Before I know it, I'm in his fancy car, heading to the Wine Country for an extended weekend. My mission? Be the loving boyfriend you bring home to meet the parents. 
 
 
 
I'm risking my scholarship and my future at the elite Highgate Academy for a charming stranger in need of a boyfriend. Why? I wish I could tell you. But there's more to him than I imagined. 
 
 
 
I'm doing my best to convince everyone that we're a couple. But maybe I'd be wise to remind myself that we are not.

Framed for Murder

Edward Kendrick

My name is Charlie English. I'm thirty-eight and homeless, so when a man offered me forty bucks to deliver a message and another forty when I had, I jumped at the chance. I shouldn't have. I walked into the house -- and a murder scene -- barely getting away before the cops arrived.
I needed to get out from under the frame, and knew a private detective who might be willing to help me. There's one problem, though. He's my ex-lover, which could make things dicey. 
He's less than happy to see me when I show up at his office ... until I tell him why I'm there. That piques his interest. Now it's a case of finding out who the dead man was, who killed him, and proving it wasn't me. Can we succeed ... while dealing with our renewed interest in each other?
