Summary

Personal chef Beau St. Clair, recently divorced from his cheating husband, returns to the small Ohio River town where he grew up to lick his wounds.
Jack Rogers lives with his mother, Maisie, in that same small town, angry at and frightened by the world. Jack has a gap in his memory that hides something he dares not face, and he's probably suffering from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. 
Maisie, seeking relief from her housebound and often surly son, hires Beau to cook for Jack, hoping the change might help bring Jack, once a handsome and vibrant attorney, back to his former self. But can a new face and comfort food compensate for the terror lurking in Jack's past? 
Slowly the two men begin a dance of revelation and healing. Food and compassion build a bridge between Beau and Jack, a bridge that might lead to love. But will Jack's demons allow it? His history could just as easily tear them apart as bring them together.

    Can Austin learn to love the opposite who attracts him? 
 
 
 
Austin Russell doesn't belong at a small school like Glynn Harber. He's meant to be a highflyer in finance, not a book-keeping bursar. Now there's only one renovation project left to budget, it's time he toughened his soft heart and got back to climbing the corporate ladder. 
 
 
 
The truth is he'd rather climb Maisie Dymond's father. 
 
 
 
That urge doesn't add up—Dom Dymond is his polar opposite—but when a near-miss brings them together, Austin discovers there's more below his laid-back surface, especially as Dom's determined to win the bid for the school's last rebuilding project. 
 
 
 
Working in proximity means Austin can't deny that they're opposites who don't only attract, they combust whenever they're close. Telling himself it's only a fling doesn't ring true when Dom opens up about what keeps him in Cornwall. He's there to heal his fractured family, and he wants Austin as part of it. 
 
 
 
That openness makes Austin want to share too, but will Dom still feel the same attraction once he knows what drives Austin to keep climbing his ladder? 
 
 
 
Contains mature themes.

    Ford 
I’ve never thought much about Orson Naples.  
He’s a cute guy who I’d seen around town a few times, but then one day he up and left and didn’t reappear until a few years later. No one knows where he went or what he was doing, all this gossipy town knows is that he’s a widower, owns the florist, and is friends with that divorced group that hang out at the Killer Brew all the time.  
But then one day I step into his flower shop and go from rarely thinking about him, to him constantly being on my mind.  
There’s a restlessness to him that I’m dying to unlock answers to.  
And his eyes linger on me a little too long for a straight man … 
Orson 
Ford Thomas is a pest. A delightful one. A tempting one. But I’m too old for games.  
The ones I’ve played in the past have always led me to trouble which is why I vowed to settle down and live a quiet life.  
So when Ford walks into my shop all uncontained energy and flirty quips in a pair of heavy work boots, I know I should show him the door.  
I don’t need fun. I don’t need experiences. 
Especially when those experiences have me questioning things I thought I knew about myself.

    Escaped slave and radical Genthry is facing down his final moments, bound to the execution platform, when some soul detonates the platform and the prison wall. He didn't plan it, but he's more than happy to take the opportunity to escape and thumb his nose at fate yet again.


By the time he gets his hands on a ship, the authorities have caught up to him in the form of handsome marshal Dryath Riatt. When a passerby knocks the marshal out, Genthry takes Riatt "hostage" to save him from the angry crowd.


Dryath knew he shouldn't have thought the job was done just because he got his hands on escaped killer Genthry. He wasn't counting on the local crowd jumping in to help the dirtbag escape, the local garrison refusing to lift a finger to help him ... or Genthry being possibly the most beautiful man he'd ever seen. Now he's a captive, restrained, and flying to some unknown destination with a terrorist who doesn't make him feel unsafe at all.


When an encounter with pirates forces a sudden landing, Genthry and Dryath must hide together before either can find safety. Can they overcome their differences, or will these enemies sell each other out before they can find happiness?
