Summary

Gil and Ford shared a pivotal moment when they were kids living in tiny Leeward, California, on the northern coastal highway. Immediately afterward, Gil moved to the San Francisco Bay Area with his family so his mother could get better cancer care.
Years later, Gil is back in Leeward, working as CFO at Mainsail Construction where Ford supervises the work teams. Gil has come home to take care of his father after the older man's stroke. While Gil says he's a small town boy at heart and is glad to be back, Ford wonders if that's true or if he'll bail as soon as his dad is settled.
Is Gil being honest with himself? If so, how does Ford fit into his new life?

    Game, set & match. 
    What began on a tennis court evolved into something neither of them could control. 
    Anyone for Tennis? is a sensual and emotionally charged novella about intimacy, awakening, and the subtle line between control and surrender. 
    On a quiet yet charged tennis court, we follow an encounter that starts playfully — but gradually shifts into something more. Through glances, rhythm, and unspoken tension, the boundaries between competition and intimacy begin to blur. 
    With an intimate and atmospheric tone, Lisa M. portrays desire not as an act, but as a process — shaped by anticipation, presence, and emotional vulnerability.

    We longed. We lost. We loved. Desperately.  
    I thought I had my life all figured out. But after a college football accident leaves me deaf, I was learning how to live all over again. 
    I expected the anger, the frustration, and the struggle to readjust, but what I didn’t expect to happen amongst the chaos, was to fall in love. 
    Especially not with two men.  
    Rough-edged puzzle pieces, Rhys, Samuel, and I were nothing but aching memories, painful realities, and hidden scars. 
    We were products of our pasts, abandoned and unloved, messy and complicated. Individually we had baggage; together we had mountains to climb. 
    But when the three of us were tangled up in one another, spilling secrets in the dark, hearts beating in sync, nothing else mattered but them. 
    We needed to break the cycle, because they deserved love… And who knows, maybe I finally did too.

    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 …
