Summary

Matthew Wilson is an anxious, introverted librarian with an amazing fiancé Hugh, or at least he thinks so. But his world unravels when he's kidnapped by Chanse Collins, who claims to be a detective and tells Matthew that Hugh is plotting to kill him.
Matthew is forced to abandon his carefully planned life, including caring for his comatose mother and preparing for his wedding. Instead, he finds himself on the run with a stranger he isn't sure he can trust.
As the two cross the country in search of safety, Matthew begins to question everything he thought he knew -- about Hugh, about Chanse, even about himself. Torn between love, fear, and survival, he must uncover the truth before it's too late. Is Chanse his savior? Or will he end up becoming Hugh's victim after all?

    A deep kiss and a single rule. Like most women in dead-end relationships, Holly Markham was used to finding substitutes for love. But throwing herself into the arms of a leather-clad stranger was never on her list. 
     
     
     
    When Holly's best friend Tori takes her to a dance for lesbians only, she realizes that Tori is gently trying to push her out of the closet. While it was true that Holly had been trying to come to terms with her growing attraction toward women, no one expected Holly to take one look at the mysterious Reyna and fall hopelessly in lust. 
     
     
     
    Unable to resist the purely physical appeal of Reyna's sensuous demands, Holly quickly succumbs to Reyna's delicious seduction. After a night of delirious passion, Reyna gives Holly a long kiss and single rule: Call whenever you want me to make love to you. There can be nothing else. Although sexually fulfilled for the first time in her life, Holly soon realizes that pleasure without emotion is no substitute for love—a love she knows she and Reyna could share. 
     
     
     
    Knowing too well the high cost of living in shadows and denial, Holly risks everything and sets out to pierce the deep shroud of mystery surrounding the woman she has come to love.

So when Kincaid asks him to house and pet sit while Kincaid goes out of state for a conference and a weekend rendezvous, Alan agrees. 
    When Alan meets Kincaid's neighbor, he thinks maybe it's time to abandon his love for Kincaid and move on to give someone else a chance. But perhaps it was just the push the stubborn Kincaid needed, and loving the boss won't be the mistake it's always been.

    For Lord Everett Stanley, escaping his fate seemed impossible. As the second son, he’s destined for ordination and the life of a Reverend, but he’s hiding a dangerous secret.

Now that fragile world is threatened when the East End is rocked by a series of gruesome murders.
