The Perfect Match – Matt Burlingame

Leaving his life in New York City behind, 33 year old Ira Hughes has moved back into his childhood home to help care for his ailing father. His overbearing mother guilts him into looking after her interests in the family curio shop during the town’s holiday fair. That means dealing with her business partner Colton McCabe, who just happens to be the bully who made Ira’s teen years a living hell. Ira is forced to confront painful memories from his past. As he watches his father fight for his life, and his relationship with his mother become even more strained, he begins to find unexpected comfort in his time with Colton. Could it be that Colton is not the high school horror he used to be? Is the bane of his youth now becoming the love of his life? A holiday tale of forgiveness and love.

Submerge – A.B. Julian

Run for the Roses – Elizabeth Noble

A killer romance! Relationships aren’t in the cards for everyone and Vladimir ‘Val’ Mihalic figures in his case it’s for the best. When his best friend, Janelle, is seriously injured in a carjacking, putting her career as a jockey on hold, Val steps up to help her through the crisis. It’s not long before Janelle’s estranged father shows up at Val’s front door and Val’s life takes a hard sideways turn. Wyatt Harig loves his daughter, but an estrangement was forced upon them. After her injury, he knows things have to be different and he’s the only one who can make that change. Arriving in Kentucky he finds Janelle and Val, a kindhearted, alluring man twenty years his junior, neck deep in an elaborate gambling scheme that’s led to murder. Val is a little happier than he should be when Wyatt stays and starts digging deeper for the truth about Janelle’s ‘accident’. As they uncover the events leading up to that fateful day, a solid friendship, and then more, blossoms between the men. Discovering the truth, which exposes conmen and murderers, puts their love and their lives, in jeopardy.

Longtime friends Jack Riley and Juliette (aka Jules) Baxter are committed to fulfilling their first year of business at their breakfast café, but trouble is brewing again in their personal lives. Jack and Jules’s cousin Reese are in a committed relationship — or are they? Jack’s not so certain given Reese’s continued reluctance to come out of the closet. Jules has ended her polyamorous relationships, but she’s juggling romantic attraction to two cafe staff members – a man and a woman. Now Jules’s parents are split in supporting the cafe, and Reese’s mother is making big trouble as well. When more details of Jack’s secret past rise from the ashes, everything seems to be in turmoil. Will they all survive to the cafe’s first anniversary?
