Summary

Detective Sergeant Ray Stonesifer of the Colby Police is stuck behind a desk and is bored. However, things heat up, literally, when he's sent on a stake out to watch a suspected meth lab that bursts into flames. Would that his personal life be as explosive.
Jesse Crofts is burned out by the competitive world of fashion modeling in New York and, after closing his eyes and stabbing his finger on a map of the US, he chooses a small city in Ohio to relocate to. A change of career requires an education, so Jesse enrolls at Colby State. However much Jesse wants to make a clean break from his past, a stalker has other ideas and follows him to Ohio.
Ray can't imagine why someone as good looking and as experienced sexually as the former model would want to date someone as plain an uninteresting as him. However, he gets a chance to prove himself when Jesse's stalker shows up in town, but will he end up making things worse?
Can a redheaded small town cop and a worldly-wise man from the big city make for an arresting pair, or will their passion fade as quickly as Jesse's former modelling career?

    Behind closed doors at The Scarlet Hotel, anything can happen... even taking the greatest risk. 
    Omega Levi has graduated from high school at the top of his class, and he’s eager to explore all the world has to offer. Too bad that future will be dictated by his father. He was hoping to live a little—stretch his wings, maybe get wild and crazy for a night or two—but his father won’t hear of it. Levi has two months until his university classes start, to cram in as much fun as he can, and if that fun just happens to be with his father’s friend and business partner, then all the better. What his father doesn’t know won’t hurt him… 
    Alpha Grayson has it all—looks, money, charm. What he doesn’t have is a husband, but that suits him just fine. He’s not ready to settle down just yet, not when he’s still having so much fun. He could have his pick of bed partners, but there’s only one man he wants… his business partner’s son. He knows he shouldn’t lust after the younger omega, he’s off limits in so many ways, but he can’t help how right it feels to do something so wrong. Grayson is foolish enough to believe their affair can remain a secret, but that’s the problem with deeds done in the dark… they will always come to light. 
    Room 709 is the third standalone book in the m/m mpreg romance series, The Scarlet Hotel, from bestselling author Trisha Linde. Each book features a new couple and begins and ends in a different room at The Scarlet Hotel. Room 709 revolves around an omega still young enough to dream, an alpha who’s old enough to know better, a whirlwind romance that closes the gap between their ages, and a surprise pregnancy that makes them reassess everything they thought they wanted.

    1968 New York City 
    News about the war might be keeping Patrick up at night—news in general might be keeping Patrick up at night—but he's doing fine. He's sure of it. He gets to spend his days selling books in the gayest neighborhood on the East Coast and his nights merrily sleeping his way through the rare book community. But when he takes in a drifter who seems to be hiding something, and his best friend and her newborn move into the apartment upstairs, his life gets turned on its head. 
    A sleepy little bookstore should be the perfect place for Nathaniel to lie low, waiting for his past to catch up with him, but it turns out Dooryard Books is full of political radicals and anti–war agitators. If the FBI isn't actively surveilling this place, it will be. Nathaniel should go anywhere else. The last thing he expects is to like these subversives. There's a grieving folk musician and her baby—a demon of a child who will only sleep if Nathaniel, of all people, holds her. There's a pair of rabble–rousing teenagers who, upsettingly, seem to be right about everything. And then there's Patrick, who can't walk past anyone who needs his help—and who is perplexingly determined to help Nathaniel. 
    As the world balances on the precipice of something new and scary and maybe even hopeful, Patrick needs to decide what he's willing to risk for this chaotic new community he's accidentally created. And Nathaniel needs to figure out whether he has a place in this messy, flawed world—and whether he can believe he deserves it.

    Jenn Alexander introduces listeners to a different kind of romance—think Buffy the Vampire Slayer in a coffee shop with lesbians, vampires, and a wide selection of coffinated beverages. 
     
     
     
    Still reeling from the unexpected loss of her parents, Edie McLean doesn't have time to grieve. She's the fourth-generation owner of the McLean Family Coffee Shop, her family's legacy. Unfortunately, this legacy is littered with decades worth of bad business, regrettable purchases, and massive debt. The McLean family motto was always that "good coffee is in our blood," but the shop has become an eyesore and its small, loyal customer base isn't enough to keep it afloat—and if Edie doesn't find a way to turn business around quickly, the family's legacy will end with her. 
     
     
     
    As Edie tries to pull all the pieces of her life together, she finds herself drawn to an alluring night-shift nurse who stops by for coffee every evening after sunset, while contending with a quirky new roommate who sleeps in an honest-to-God coffin. When all three worlds collide spectacularly, Edie's eyes are opened to a new and untapped market that just may be the key to saving her family's coffee shop. However, when her Draculattes and Cold Blood Cold Brews begin to raise more alarm than sales, suddenly the stakes involved appear to be of the wooden variety.

    Playing a lead role in a book-to-movie adaptation with a wild fan base? Sign me up! The only downside is that I'm cast alongside Jacoby "Heartthrob" Hart—Hollywood's golden boy. If only they knew he was an uppity, pompous snob. 
     
     
     
    We don't get along, and if you're reading the tabloids, you'd assume it was because I "stole" his girlfriend, but they have it all wrong. Jacoby and his cold shoulder started this, and now we're set to play lovers. The only thing I'd love to do is strangle him, but I'm a professional. 
     
     
     
    Behind the scenes, we're either bickering or avoiding each other, but when the cameras start rolling, I can't believe how much chemistry we have. 
     
     
     
    One night, during a passionate argument, something happens that I never anticipated. The chemistry that started out as an act turns into much more behind closed doors, but we both have secrets, and Hollywood is a hard place to keep those.

    He was supposed to be the one that understood. The one that was different. But he's just like everyone else. It doesn't really matter, though. At school, I'm the weird outcast, and he's the big popular jock. 
    We were doomed from the start. And yet, I keep finding myself drawn to him, no matter how much I don't want to be. I need to stay away, but I don't think I can. 
     
    Javier 
    He was all I had in the world. Mi muñequito. Then he threw it all away. So I wiped my hands of him. 
    Or I tried. But he crept his way back into my brain. Back into my life. I need to leave him in the past, but I don't think I can. 
    Contains mature themes.

    At thirty, Lindsay Ramone loves herself. How couldn't she? She's smart, beautiful, and enjoys acting and creating scenes. She has a good life. A positive life. And fortunately, she's overseen by two very close and special people.
    Lindsay is monetarily cared for by her wealthy uncle, a best-selling novelist who finds his niece similar to himself. Both suffer from mental illness, particularly depression. Lindsay's uncle sends her numerous healthy checks, creating an easy lifestyle for her. 
    Lindsay's second caregiver is her best friend, Jilly Joey Finn, a professional online product surveyor. They've known each other since the ninth grade. Jilly has always been an emotional rock and a strong support for Lindsay. 
    When Lindsay has the most electrically emotional and fascinating day in late August with Jilly, a dark and depressing day sneaks up on her. As predicted, Lindsay falls into a temperamental, dark depression. Mental illness begins to eat her alive, again. 
    Lindsay has a few mechanisms of resistance to help her mental illness: therapy tools, swimming naked with the sea turtles, and Jilly's affections. But maybe Jilly has been crossing the line with her friendly holding ... at least lately she has. Now Lindsay wants to find out exactly why.
