Summary

Once upon a time, Jeffrey fell in love with his best friend, Tamlin.
Jeffrey may work at Storyville bookstore, but he doesn't believe in happy endings -- not for himself. Tamlin is princely by nature, a heroic pure ray of sunshine. Jeffrey is an irascible grumpy cat, who would likely be cast as a villain's henchman. He knows Tamlin deserves someone far better; another prince, who will someday sweep him off his feet and carry him off into the sunset. His tenuous acceptance of the platonic status quo is shattered when Tamlin confesses he has a crush on someone. Who is this 'friend' Tamlin is romantically interested in? Can he convince Tamlin to banish them to the friend-zone, and consider dating Jeffrey instead?
Once upon a time, Tamlin fell in love with his best friend, Jeffrey.
Tamlin foolishly confessed to Jeffrey that he had a crush on a friend. Jeffrey's instant response was it's better to keep things platonic. Jeffrey must have figured out that the 'friend' is himself, and he let Tamlin down gently. How can Tamlin get over his romantic feelings, somehow put Jeffrey back in the friend-zone? And why did Jeffrey just ask him out, after he turned down Tamlin's same request?
It will take three copies of a cult classic fantasy novel, two bungled love confessions, and one meddling famous author, to get Jeffrey and Tamlin to realize that happy endings aren't just fictional -- they can be made real, if they properly use their words.

    Desperate to escape the pain of his brother’s death, Jesse Melnik ran—but he couldn’t outrun the grief, no matter how much distance he put between himself and his past. Now, after fifteen years of trying, he’s finally ready to face his hometown of Charlottetown again. 
    He expects the memories of his brother to hover in every corner of his family’s sailboat and whisper in every sea-tinged breeze. 
    What he doesn’t expect is Parker Willis, the best friend he left behind without a word the day he fled. 
    And he certainly doesn’t expect old feelings to resurface. 
    Parker’s been stuck in a rut since his father died three months ago. Every day is the same: try to keep his father’s dinner cruise business afloat so he can chip away at Dad’s debts, one bill at a time, all while working a job that leaves him more frustrated than satisfied. 
    Then Parker’s routine shatters in the best way possible: Jesse Melnik arrives on Prince Edward Island for the summer, all six feet three inches of gorgeous hockey player. 
    Now, that’s different. 
    Jesse kickstarts Parker’s heart. 
    Parker makes Jesse feel again 
    And although both men are a little bit damaged from struggling down the broken path of loss, maybe—just maybe—if they can lean on each other, they’ll learn to move forward at last. 
    Content warnings: themes of grief, discussions of a parent’s death from cancer, descriptions/discussions of a sibling’s death by suicide.

    No matter what he feels for Wander, he’ll never surrender to him. 
    I’m in control of my life. That has become Burke’s mantra. He lost control somewhere along the way, descending into a downward spiral until he hit rock bottom. Now he’s back, sober, and determined to never be in that position again. Ever. 
    That’s why he loves being a dominant. He’s in charge. He can plan everything into detail. He’s in control. 
    Until he runs into Wander, a private security guy who volunteers to become Burke’s mentor in the club. Wander questions him, challenges him, pushes and prods and pokes until Burke stands with his back against the wall. 
    But he refuses to surrender, even when Wander evokes feelings in Burke he’s never experienced before. Apparently, he’s not quite as straight as he thought. Whatever. That still doesn’t mean he’ll give in…or that he’ll kneel. 
    No Surrender is an MM romance featuring a proud, stubborn man who’s hurting and an equally bull-headed man who won’t stop until he’s discovered the truth. It’s the first book in the high heat No Regrets series, a spin off from the No Shame series that can be read on its own, and has a suspense sub plot without cliffhangers. Please check the trigger warnings in the front of the book.
