  The Skelf women are recovering from the cataclysmic events that nearly claimed their lives. Their funeral-director and private-investigation businesses are back on track, and their cases are as perplexing as ever.
  Matriarch Dorothy looks into a suspicious fire at an illegal campsite and takes a grieving, homeless man under her wing.

Doing things their way may cost them everything…

  My first love let them destroy my leg to save his scholarship. Guess who's his boss now? 
   
  Matt Harrison was my everything in college—my first love, my secret, my future. Until jealous teammates sabotaged me on the field, ending my career, and Matt chose to stay silent. He was so deep in the closet he couldn't see daylight. Too scared that being gay would destroy everything he'd built to escape his deadbeat father and toxic childhood. I was nineteen, heartbroken, and convinced love was a lie. 
   
  Now I'm twenty-seven, rich as hell, and the new owner of the Cincinnati Crusaders. Matt's team. He's still the golden boy with his perfect fake girlfriend, still hiding behind the same lies that cost us everything. Still so terrified of the truth that he'd rather live a lie. 
   
  Every team meeting, I watch him squirm. Every practice, I remind him who signs his paychecks. Every time he looks at me with those desperate eyes, begging for forgiveness, I remember what it felt like to be sacrificed for his fear. He could have warned me about the sabotage. Could have chosen love over image. Instead, he let them destroy me. 
   
  The problem? Eight years later, I still want him. And Matt? He's making it clear that underneath all that fear, he never stopped wanting me either. But this time, if he wants me, he'll have to choose me. Publicly. Completely. No more hiding. Revenge was supposed to be simple. Making him face the truth might be even better. 
   
  Contains mature themes.

  A straight-laced realtor from the big city runs face-first into a graffiti artist werewolf and sparks fly. Then their ambitions and secrets threaten to tear them apart. 
  Kent 
  I'm the new boy in this tiny town, but only until I find my clients the lake house they're searching for. Not that I can understand why anyone would want to live here. It seems like a place where nothing ever happens. So imagine my surprise when I stumble across a masked man spray painting a public building under the light of the full moon. Even in a mask, I'm struck by his beauty. Then, without warning, he approaches and does the last thing I ever expected. He kisses me. The moment our lips part, he's gone, vanished into the night and I'm left with a feeling of excitement unlike any I've ever experienced before. 
  But how do I find him again? 
  Eoin 
  The moment I kissed him I knew he was my mate. Even though I don't know his name, I know we were fated to be together, but I ran away before I could act on it. Then, by some strange twist of fate, he walks into my office the next day to hire me. He has no idea that I'm the masked graffiti artist or, more importantly, that I'm a werewolf. But now that he's my client, I have to pretend to be just some boring realtor. 
  However, when I find him waiting near the half-finished mural again, I can't keep my hands off of him. For now, though, the mask stays on. He's too straight-laced to turn a blind eye to my after-dark activities. 
  How long can I keep up this charade? 
  TROPES: standalone, mistaken/hidden identity, hurt/comfort, class difference, human x werewolf, forbidden love, forced proximity, found family, strict roles, and hea.

  Hugh 
  Having spent more than twenty years as an emergency medicine physician in war zones around the world, I barely have a home to speak of. A daughter I didn’t know about has died and left a child behind, so I must get to Gaynor Beach, California to claim my granddaughter. Her temporary guardian is the first man to spark my interest in a very long time, but it would be inappropriate for me to have a relationship with this much-younger man. 
  Oscar 
  Gutted by my best friend’s death, I take solace in the daughter she left in my guardianship. I’ll protect this precious baby with all I have, and no one is going to take her away from me—least of all the man who turns up on our doorstep claiming to be her grandfather. Despite the resemblance, I plan to keep him at arm’s length. I’m going to show him how capable I am. But I might also lose my heart in the process. 
  This is an 85k word, hurt/comfort, interracial, age-gap, MM romance novel with a moderate amount of angst.
