Summary:
I’ve always heard you can never go home again, so that was my plan.
Fast forward fourteen years, and here I am in this church pew, at this funeral, forced to face what I selfishly abandoned when I was young and stupid. I should run like the coward I am, instead of pretending that seeing my best friends after all this time doesn’t remind me of the deepest pain I’ve ever endured.
But Henry is falling apart. He needs me now. I can receive absolution by being the friend I should’ve been back then. And I’ll forget the kiss that crushed my heart…

Summary: He specializes in drinks, not feelings. With a passion shaken not stirred, can the new guy serve up romance? If love ever walked into his bar, mixologist Nicholas Valentine would send it right back out the door. Figuring casual hookups are the best he can expect, he’d rather give his time to his makeshift family of inebriated patrons. But when the delicious new bouncer catches his eye, he can’t deny the flutters of his watered-down heart. Former soldier Davis “FatBoy” Newman can’t imagine coming out. But when the snarky hunk behind the bar proves irresistible, he wonders if he should risk it all for love. And after days of subtle hints and flirty looks, the smitten security man finally secures an after-hours first kiss. Just as Nicholas thinks he might have something real, St. Patrick’s Day shenanigans and an offensive live Irish band conspire to keep them apart. And while FatBoy is head-over-heels, staying safely in the closet may cost him everything. Can their perfectly mixed connection pour them a happily-ever-after?

Summary:
Nick's unwelcome past roars into his life like a tornado. Will its path destroy his and Fatboy's secret romance?
Hot and heavy under the covers, cool and distant in the public eye, Nick and FatBoy have been keeping their relationship secret from friends and coworkers at the bar. But if Nick gets his way, their first carefully planned weekend will catapult their relationship to the next level—after all, once FatBoy experiences the liberation of an exclusive gay resort, how can he possibly be content to keep their love life under wraps?
But circumstances have never been kind to Nick, and expecting Fate to give his love life a free pass is too much to ask. When an attack at the bar leaves Nick reeling and confused, it is merely the first domino to fall in a chain of events that leads Nick to question who he is, how he got there, and where he belongs. His only hope is that he’ll still have the man of his dreams at his side when he reaches the end of the road.
