Summary: An opposites-attract M/M romance, full of heart and heat, and set in a little flower shop with enough charm to overcome any scowl. When I inherit a building from a grandpa I’ve never met, there’s only one plan: take the money and run. Enter Nicholas, the florist with the little shop downstairs. I’m an awkward loner of a carpenter, a straight guy who is totally out of place in this unfamiliar city’s gay district. I don’t know what to do with Nicholas’s easy smile or his hopelessly romantic worldview, so I just ignore how it makes me feel when he says my name. But as I start on some quick and needed renovations, friendly and talkative Nicholas keeps catching my attention, and my eye wanders where I’ve trained it not to go. The future of his business lies in my hands and what I do with this old, falling-down building. I can’t afford to think about him this way, but we make each other smile, and desires I’ve buried for years rise back to the surface with every loaded silence and moment caught alone together. Nicholas doesn’t let me grunt and trudge away. He surprises me one night with a proposal. Turns out, Nicholas with the sweet little flower shop has some desires of his own, and we might be the perfect match. With love and romance off the table, we can focus all our attention on the bedroom until I sell the building and leave town, and no one needs to know about it. No commitment is perfect for me. I’ve spent my entire life building walls. But the second I get my hands on Nicholas, they all start tumbling down.

Summary: All four bestselling Geek Ink books together in one box set—the complete M/M romance series featuring geeks and bad boys! Geek Tattoo Stone is straight. That’s the first reason the brooding tattoo artist can’t be the one for geeky animator Matty. But when the two men enter into a fake relationship, cuddling up close starts to feel far, far too real. Crave Me Dedicated botanist Milo is a babbling sweetheart. Tattoos are not his style, but when his friends convince him to get some ink, he ends up in the chair of Joey, a silent, troubled artist. In the quiet drone of the shop, desire bubbles beneath the surface until a fateful blizzard blows through town, and their surprising connection ignites into something neither man expected. Just a Kiss Alexander has always been secretly in love with his best friend and roommate Rafael, who remains blissfully oblivious. When Rafael starts an apprenticeship at the tattoo shop, his confidence grows, and Alexander’s pining spikes. Rafael doesn’t do relationships, and Alexander doesn’t do casual. But that’s no reason to turn down the friends-with-benefits arrangement that Rafael proposes, right? Gruff Touch Drew comes to town seeking to learn more about the father he’s never met, and grumpy tattoo artist Caesar is his only lead. Caesar pushes the bright young man away. He doesn’t want to revisit his past, and especially not with a stranger half his age. But something deep inside Drew insists that Caesar should be his, if only he can get the old grump to see it, too. Four linked, full-length novels with low angst, high steam, and opposites-attract fun! Enjoy!

Summary: It’s totally normal for two straight guys to do this when they’re alone, right? That’s what I keep telling myself after I meet Reggie. I’m a pro tennis player, and I usually spend my life on the court. But an embarrassing injury in the middle of the US Open sidelined my career, landing me in the hands of my new athletic trainer. Reggie is a big old jock with an easy smile, and my grumpy butt has never met anyone like him. We start hanging—at the gym and at his place, on the tennis court and out at the bar. I haven’t had a real friend in years, and Reggie’s big heart warms me deep inside. He finds something I’ve tried to keep buried, and when we end up sweaty in a hotel bed one night, my world turns upside down. Then comes the cabin weekend, and all the long massages at the gym… Reggie gets his big hands all over me, and I can’t stop thinking about him. It’s chill, though, because we’re a couple of straight guys, and this is just a bromance. A sweaty, grunty, sticky bromance. It can’t be more than that, not with my tennis career waiting— and no matter what my heart insists. Filthy Bromance is a friends-to-lovers romance with a grumpy tennis star, his big-hearted athletic trainer, and a mess of unexpected feelings. It features dirty talk and exploration on the way to a well-earned HEA. Book two of Love Unexpected, it can be enjoyed as a standalone or read along with the series.

Summary: The relationship is fake, so why does his kiss feel so real? Stone is straight. That's the first reason he can't be my boyfriend. Straight tattoo artists with dark histories and sad eyes just aren't meant for geeky guys like me. Even if he does have killer cheekbones... But when our lives get thrown together one day at the park, he proposes something surprising. Stone needs a fake relationship to get him out of trouble, and I might be the perfect guy to help. The only problem is I don't understand why a fake, straight boyfriend feels so good to cuddle up close to. And I can't figure out why a man who scares me to death can also make me feel so safe. Stone marks me forever with his ink, but am I strong enough to make him truly mine? Geek Tattoo is a steamy, easy read with opposites attract, fake boyfriend fun. It features a tattoo artist discovering his bisexuality, a geeky sweetheart confronting his fears, and two artists who don't realize they're made for each other. Enjoy!
