Summary

Sequel to Taking a Chance

Elis had no intention of reentering Latham's life, especially as his own is starting to fall apart. But when slumlord Fredrick Mason threatens Latham, Elis's lingering affection for the nobleman compels him to intervene. However, investigating Mason and discovering the extent of his hold on the criminal underbelly of the Lower result in Elis getting attacked and left to die in the street.


Except, instead of dying, Elis wakes in Latham's estate, miles from the city and the danger he's inadvertently drawn to himself. Isolated from civilization and trapped with the man who once pushed him away, Elis is forced to rely on Latham while his injuries heal and face his own fears or risk losing this unexpected second chance to forge a possible future with the man he wants to protect.


With the threat Mason poses hanging over their heads, and despite Latham's attempts to dissuade Elis from getting involved, they must devise a way to shake Mason's hold over the Lower while navigating the enduring feelings and desire simmering between them.

    COLBY 
    Once upon a time, playing for the NHL was my dream. Then Radimir Novicov skated circles around me and made it clear I’d never be good enough. He was smart, talented, and worst of all–sexy. Every closeted guy knows that you don’t hit on your teammate, even if his gaze lingers longer than it should. 
    All it took was one drunken close call before our friendship was in tatters, he was called up to the NHL, and I was sent for further conditioning. 
    Playing in the NHL was off the table, so coaching became my new dream. 
    And seventeen years later, I’m finally heading to the big time. 
    Video coach. Pro level. The only downside? 
    It’s for Novi’s team. 
    NOVI 
    Radimir Novicov is not scared of anything. I am one of the best. Future Hall of Famer. There are two years left on my contract and I will end my career on the highest high anyone did see. 
    Then I will slink into the shadows where no one will hear of me again. 
    Because while I’m playing professionally, I cannot come out and be myself. Not with my family still in Russia. 
    The plan has been set since I first moved to America, and I only have two years left to wait. It should be easy to focus on hockey. 
    Then Colby Kessinger walks back into my life. The teammate with the lopsided smiles and cocky attitude–the one who made my heart want things it can’t have. 
    Now two years feels like a lifetime.

    Brett feels like he's been waiting a lifetime to find out why his childhood bestie walked away from him. The more time they spend together, the clearer it becomes that he doesn't have to understand what happened. All that matters is now. 
     
     
     
    As Brett's feelings morph into something brand new, something special, will Dylan believe that he'd truly like to be his Daddy or will he let the past hinder what should have always been?

    Silke, an easy-going German who prefers dodging problems to facing them, follows her job to the US when her bossy, longtime partner Alex refuses to start a family. Once in Texas, the cute blonde, who fixes medical analyzers for a living, is hit on by coworker Ana, a voluptuous and sexy Latina, who falls head over heels for her.
    
    
    Ana, formerly content with casual hook-ups, recognizes a good thing when she sees it and will do whatever it takes to win Silke. Still in love with Alex despite her shortcomings, Silke strings Ana along while at the same time getting increasingly chummy with her landlady, Lauren. The frumpy nurse is middle-aged and motherly, and best of all hetero, which makes her safe for Silke to hang out with. Or so she thinks.
    
    
    A kiss initiated by Lauren changes everything and they eventually become lovers. But Lauren has always struggled with putting herself first, and when her husband and daughter return home for the holidays, she resumes her wife-and-mother persona. Ana, on the other hand, is not only free, she is ready to start a family now and doggedly continues to pursue Silke. Of course there's also still Alex, sophisticated as ever and used to getting what she wants, which is to keep Silke.
    
    
    Deceiving everybody and most of all herself, Silke procrastinates until being playful doesn't cut it any longer. Can she take a stand and save the relationship with the one person who truly matters?

    For his twenty-fifth birthday, Alec Savage gets the gift of a lifetime -- the chance to meet his father for the very first time. What he finds upon his arrival in Washington, DC, however, is not what he expects. A smashed window. An empty house. A scrawled note with his name and a phone number on it. Panicked, he dials the number and talks to an uncle he never knew he had, one who insists Alec is in danger if he stays in the house. That's when everything starts to get weird.
    Within minutes, he's teleported all the way to nowhere Montana, in the company of the most gorgeous guy he's ever seen, hearing about how he's the latest mage in the Savage line. Alec doesn't want to believe Rowan Bouchard, but it's hard to argue with the reality of his new snowbound location or the confirmation from the uncle who greets him. He even thinks staying on the estate while they hunt for his dad won't be so bad if he's got Rowan as eye candy. 
    Except Rowan is more than that. He's a shifter, the most beautiful black panther Alec could imagine. And according to his Uncle Martin, he's now Alec's familiar too ...

    To the public, Harper Miller is nothing more than a mild mannered, socially awkward English professor with a slight stutter and some control issues. She knows her public persona isn't glamorous, but she doesn't care if people see her as milquetoast. She prefers it that way because it means no one would ever suspect her secret.
    Harper never intended to run a phone sex line long term. It was meant to help her pay off her student loans before landing a job with a decent paycheck. Of course, Harper never intended to fall for a client either. After talking to a caller that goes by Em for six months, Harper can admit she's thoroughly smitten, even though her mystery woman may not be who she seems. 
    What happens when Em's true identity is discovered? Will Harper be able to look past old grievances for a shot at true love?
