Summary: Focus. You’re sharing a room with a brooding hulk who hasn’t said anything in over an hour. He’s just sharpening that damn machete and muttering to himself. Pax, a cute little pixie (his words), is having a bad day. It started off nice enough, but finding himself chained to a floor watching a bear shifter sharpening a machete wasn't how he preferred to spend his afternoon. When his own silver tongue didn't seem to be working and that machete started swinging, Pax needed a hero - fast. “Hold that thought, sweetie.” Storm, crocodile shifter, assassin and lover of Italian shoes didn't consider himself a hero, but he was really glad Cyrus had given him the job of saving the sweet magic user from a manic bear shifter. Now if he could only just save the man without being stabbed... "...Evil shifters who chain up cute magic users don’t get mates, sweetie. But it seems like sexy crocodile shifters who save chained up magic users do. Let’s have a look at those cuffs.” It takes a bit of adjustment, but Storm and Pax start working on their lives together. Or at least, they would, if family members on both sides didn't start coming out of the woodwork causing trouble. Through it all, one thing is clear. Donuts can solve almost anything. This book is the second book in the Assassin's Alley series. It can be read as a standalone, but some readers might like to learn more about the secondary characters by reading book one, Not That Kind of Demon.

Summary: The Sebring family has been involved with espionage for centuries, and as the firstborn son, Anthony Sebring II has every intention of fulfilling his parents’ expectations. To that end, when the United States is thrust into the Second World War, Tony enlists in the Navy, eager to enter the war and do his part to defeat the Axis powers that threaten the freedom and safety of his beloved Country. Instead, however, he finds himself assigned to a position in DC, working surreptitiously with his father. Tony is gay and is comfortable with his homosexuality, although he isn’t able to act on it -- his devotion to his country overshadows that. Meanwhile, his father is unaware and arranges a marriage with a local girl. Before Tony can refuse, Allegra reveals she’s already married to a young soldier of whom her parents disapprove, and she begs Tony for help. As a gentleman, he can’t say no, but this causes problems with his siblings, Jefferson, Bryan, and Portia, who are upset he never told them he was involved with a young lady. While Tony is fiercely devoted to his siblings, most especially his youngest brother, he can’t divulge Allegra’s secret to them, since it isn’t his to reveal. Things have a way of coming out, however, especially when they learn Allegra is pregnant. When Tony refuses to marry her, even after their meddling fathers threaten to have her marriage annulled, he’s banished to London to work with an obscure branch of British security. Some months later, the war in Europe ends and he learns he’s to be sent to the Pacific Theater. En route, he stops in New York, where he takes the opportunity to see his siblings, only to be told by the woman he’d thought was his mother that he isn’t a Sebring, and he’s never to contact the only people he loves -- the secret about his birth could ruin everything he holds dear. Tony leaves without revealing this to them. But Sebrings, no matter what their age, have the ability to ferret out secrets. How will they react when they learn the truth of his birth, and how will Tony deal with the loss of the one person who means the world to him?

Summary: CASSIDY MARTIN is a country boy through and through. He loves his horses, his Lord of the Rings tourist business, and his isolated paradise at the foot of New Zealand’s Southern Alps. Not that everyone appreciates the seclusion he craves. Take his ex-wife for example. The sexy-as-hell guy on his latest tour might be whip-smart and push all of Cass’s buttons, but he’s about as country as a pair of Louboutins, and Cass has been there and done that. Broken heart with the T-shirt. STEFAN HAMILTON doesn’t do ‘outdoorsy’, he’s a city boy, born and bred. The closest Stef gets to the country is ‘Cowboy Night’ at his favourite Auckland gay bar even if the music makes Stef want to rip his hair out by the roots. But Stef is also a hardcore Lord of the Rings fanboy. So, when he gets the chance to go on a horse trek to the iconic film locations in the Southern Alps, he sucks up his fear of the gigantic animals and his allergy to camping for the chance to let his nerd flag fly. But when his mate pulls out at the last minute, Stef is left to negotiate the horses, the wrath of mother nature, and an inconvenient crush on the cowboy leading the tour. City meets country and the sparks fly.
