Even after years, Seth is still in love with his best friend, and just as invisible as he’s always been. Or so he thinks.

Carter Heath has a lot of responsibility. The farm. His daughter. It all adds up. He hasn’t thought about dating in years. Not since Izzy was born. He thinks he might be ready for a little romance, but is bringing someone around his daughter a good idea?

Too bad it takes the near death of Seth Murray’s father to bring him back home again. Carter is still glad to see him. They’d been best friends once after all. He’s surprised by the punch of attraction upon reuniting. As much as Carter wants to turn friends to lovers, he’s not sure he can trust Seth with his heart. After all, Seth had disappeared from his life once already.

Does Seth have the staying power to make love last?

Summary: Life hasn't been easy for Aeley since she arrested her brother, and her role as a political leader leaves her feeling isolated and lonely. Days before her brother's trial, she meets Lira, a quiet and modest scribe who makes Aeley want more than just a professional relationship. When she attends the trial and leaves with a marriage contract, Aeley doesn't know what to do. She must choose one of two brothers, marrying into a family she doesn't know. Then she discovers that Lira is part of the same family—a sister to Aeley's suitors and the family's disgrace. And not at all opposed to an intimate relationship. Except random acts of violence against her people test Aeley's ability as a leader, and a web of lies and deceit threaten not only her chance at happiness, but her life...

Summary: Go to work. Come home. Repeat. Phil’s life is boring and he loves every second of it. No excitement, no boyfriends breaking up with him over cereal in his underwear. When everything’s predictable, nothing bad happens. But nothing good does, either. One night, when his best friend forces him to step outside of his comfort zone, he meets Shige who’s too enigmatic to really be interested in him. He’s trouble, but Phil can’t help ignoring his own advice. Decades have gone by while Shige’s kept himself locked away. He’s tired of the world, of humans and vampires. He was happy collecting dust until one day he wasn’t. On a whim, he ventures out and meets Phil, setting them on a path that’ll change them both. Whatever this is between them, it won’t come easy. Plagued by distrust and danger from within and without, but if they survive, it just might be worth it.
