Relative Best

Pat Henshaw

Summary

Hotel owner and part-time musician Zeke Bandy is too busy for love. His plate is full running the historic Bandy Hotel and upholding his family's tradition of offering refuge to strays and runaways. For fun two nights a week, Zeke also plays and sings traditional folk music with his rewritten gay lyrics at the Stonewall Saloon and for occasional celebrations.
Then at a gay wedding, Zeke meets Victor Longbow, who just might be the man of his dreams. 
However, Vic isn't looking for love either. In fact, because of his upbringing in a strict, white foster family, Vic's not sure he believes in love. He's in Stone Acres to open a branch office of a national brokerage firm. He also hopes to track down a vintage photo of what might be his Native American ancestor. 
After their paths cross, they become friends. Connected by their experiences as orphans raised by flawed fathers, Zeke and Vic wonder if their future could possibly hold love and family or if they are destined only to be lifelong friends.

And when my genius of a sister comes up with a bulletproof plan to help me pass my exams by convincing Gabriel to tutor me, I discover that my big, beautiful dork hides a secret even more ruinous than my own. The way he looks at me when we're alone is almost all I've ever dreamed of. 
 
 
 
Gabriel I'm a hot mess and he's off limits. We are a disaster in the making. I can't say no to tutoring London. It would look like I'm hiding something, which I'm totally not.

Except, when I'm alone, letting him into my thoughts is a comfort I desperately need. The more I'm with him, the more I see I might be dating the wrong twin. There's no happy ending for anyone here. Unless I own up to the truth: London is all I ever wanted.

Side by Side

Quinn Lockhart

Rachel "Rey" Williams has spent years keeping her life simple: stay quiet, stay steady, keep your heart out of reach. As the personal assistant to actress Jessica Tyler, she's mastered the art of control: managing chaos while never letting anyone get too close.
Jessica, by contrast, lives in the spotlight. She's charming, brilliant, and impossible to pin down. Beneath the flawless smile, though, lies a loneliness she's never quite let anyone see, until Rey walks into her life and quietly becomes the one person she can trust.
What starts as flirtation threaded through hectic schedules slowly becomes something deeper: shared late nights, unexpected tenderness, and the kind of trust neither expected to find. But when desire finally collides with old fears, they'll have to choose between what's safe and what's real.

Which is why, when he was banished from his home pack and family, he made a point of staying away from other wolves. But living rough, without any money, is really hard and when Raff risks a trip into San Antonio to find some cash work, he quickly wished he hadn’t. Although, thanks to his dog Killer, he did meet up with the Alpha Mate of the local pack. Maybe, just maybe his life would take a turn for the better.

A chance visit to the wolf pack at San Antonio put him in the path of his mate, and Nereus grabbed the little man as quickly as he could.

Back in Cloverleah, Teilo is pleased his brother is mated, but it’s not as though he has a chance to go and look for a mate himself. He’s settled in his home and loves to run in his wolf form. Although, when he gets bitten by a teacup poodle with the ridiculous name of Killer, he wonders what other surprises are going to jump out of the bushes at him. He didn’t expect to find two mates.
A crazy serial killer with no scent; danger for Raff at every turn and a landlocked beach? The men at Cloverleah are in for some pleasant and not so pleasant surprises. Throw in four dogs and the gorgeous bear cub and all of the men in Cloverleah are going to have to be on their toes.
