  Captured as a prisoner of war, Prince Clament expects rough treatment. However, the extent of torment he endures is beyond even his expectations. When Prince Braxton frees him, Clament knows it's only a farce meant to coerce him into finally spilling all his country's secrets. Except, despite all his efforts—magical and common—Clament finds himself helplessly drawn to Braxton, wishing he could believe the tantalizing promises Braxton makes.Unfortunately, the war continues to be fought. When the ongoing battle spills into Clament's healing ward, resisting Braxton takes a backseat to simple survival. And yet, Clament knows he must make a terrible decision: believe in Braxton and betray his country, or betray Braxton and possibly get him killed. That is, assuming Clament is allowed to live long enough first.

  Former San Diego detective Rick “Chase” Chasen has found a welcome change of pace on walking tours in the British countryside. But England’s green and pleasant land can hide all kinds of surprises—including murder … 
   
  Chase has two compelling reasons for returning to England—a group walk along the famed Coast to Coast trail in the picturesque Lake District, and a chance to further his relationship with Mike, the handsome Devonshire coroner he met on his last trip. The walkers, including Chase’s dear friend and fellow Anglophile Billie Mondreau, assemble at a Cumbrian hotel and begin their adventure with the traditional “baptism of the boots” in St. Bee’s Bay. But they’ve barely begun traveling eastward with their genial guide than the group dynamic turns unexpectedly rocky. 
   
  The problem is the Uptons—a wealthy family who have arrived from Texas, and whose squabbling antics continually overshadow the bucolic surroundings. Brock Upton, tall and commanding, is traveling with his pint-sized wife and his three siblings, along with a family friend. Every member of the party cites a different reason for joining the tour, and Chase’s instincts tell him they’re all lying. 
   
  Brock’s heart condition hinders their progress through the Lake District’s hills and dales. But that proves the least of their problems when one of the Uptons is fatally poisoned. Years of secrets and grudges emerge, along with a decades-old family mystery. And only Chase’s investigative expertise can find the answers—and uncover a killer in their midst before tragedy befalls the tour again …

  Widow Amy Northe hasn't known a man's company in the six years since her husband died. That all changes the night her son comes in from chores with two strangers in tow. Kenneth and Leon are seeking shelter, and though Amy wants to turn them away, she can't. There's a blizzard moving through the Utah mountains, and Leon's busted ankle has him teetering on the edge of consciousness. She does the only thing she can and takes them in, unaware of the secrets these young men hide.
  
  
  Kenneth doesn't want to take advantage of the older woman's hospitality, even though she's the most beautiful woman he's ever seen. But Leon needs help and Amy is a nurse. If he has to satisfy his desire for her with covert trysts with Leon, then that's what he'll do, especially since he's too much of a gentleman to ever think of making advances.
  
  
  Until she makes one herself. Then everything changes. For all of them.

  To most people who know him, Nick Fontana is the owner of a prestigious advertising agency. To a select few, he's known as Niko, a man who deals with very sensitive problems no one else can handle.
  As a result, Nick has never found a man to love -- because he won't allow it to happen. 
  Then he meets flirtatious Greg Tyson while out running. He thinks nothing of it until Greg applies for a job at Nick's ad agency. 
  Greg is exactly what Nick is looking for in an employee. Hiring him, however, might turn out to be the biggest mistake of Nick's life ... or the beginning of something new, if Nick is willing to open himself up and let Greg in. Doing so will require an amount of trust Nick isn't certain he can give without endangering Greg's life -- and losing his love -- in the process.

  Things to Aim For accurately summarizes this collection of work by Rodney Ross, all previously published by JMS Books and for the first time conjoined.
  
  
  Whether it's a Palm Springs Christmas Eve gathering gone awry, an embittered father harassing a vet tech to euthanize his dead son's cat, or a circuit-party leftover heading to the Midwest for his disapproving father's funeral and a sister with secrets, every character's aspiration leads to something unexpected. They flail, they fail, they prevail in finding a measure of serenity and love. Contains the stories: O, Christmas T(h)ree: Stanton and Clay's Christmas Eve party becomes a series of threesomes: abandoned kittens, a vet keen on sharing their bed and a frantic couple with a little boy who rented the house from a fraudulent site. December 24th won't be a silent night.
  
  Smoking with Didi: Pete makes a reluctant trip to small-town Ohio for his father's funeral. There he's battered by flashbacks of an anxious adolescence and his late father's rejection. His sister Didi has a few things she wants to get off her chest, but the surprise may be hers when Pete opens a floodgate of his own secrets.
  
  The Old Man at My Door: A winter storm warning blankets the news stations before the blizzard itself. But at Renata's farmhouse door, already flocked with snow, comes an unexpected knock: Albin Lawrence, an old man who grew up in the house. Renata's caution yields to common sense as she welcomes him in for a tour. What danger, really, could a shaky man over eighty, who has only one arm, represent?
  
  Bended Knee: When restaurateur Hugh Neumann rebukes Oliver Nicholas's very public proposal to his boyfriend during a Valentine's Day dinner, the diverted Cupid's arrow strikes Hugh not in the heart, but in the ass. An unrelenting media storm of commentary begins to affect home life with his partner Dominick and forces Hugh to question their decade-long relationship.
  
  Otis: An embittered old man's Christmas Eve trip to the veterinarian with his late son's cat Otis yields an unexpected lesson. As the snowfall mounts and city streets become impassable, is it too late for redemption?
