#1
Falling for the Geek
2020
My high school crush, my older brother’s best friend. Now Cass is back to crash my summer alone.
Shawn
When I was a kid, I had the biggest crush on Cass.
He was broody, with these beautiful eyes. A troublemaker who was infinitely cooler than I would ever be.
Ten years later, I definitely didn’t expect to see him standing at the front door of my family’s house in the Kentucky woods, tatted up and even hotter.
I was supposed to have the summer to myself and my geeky astronomy project, but my brother hired his old friend to do a massive carpentry project on the house.
Just because Cass is straight doesn’t make it any easier to keep my eyes off him.
He was always the man I wanted. I just never dared believe a couple opposites like us could attract.

#2
Forbidden Friend
2020
At work, at home—my best friend’s twin brother is everywhere I look, tempting me.
Leo
Keep your filthy hands off my brother.
It’s Kai’s one rule before his brother moves into our condo. I tell him no problem; I can handle that.
He and River look identical, after all, and it’s not like I’m crushing on Kai.
Or anyone, for that matter. I’m a one-night-only type of guy.
And River is apparently the opposite: a hopeless romantic, totally incapable of staying single.
We’d be a disaster. So after he moves in, why is it that I suddenly can’t stop thinking about how good it feels to make him smile?
Why am I torturing myself, fantasizing about his touch?
My best friend’s brother is forbidden, but Kai is right.
I’m desperate to rub my filthy hands all over him.
Forbidden Friend is a sweet and steamy M/M romance with low angst. It features secret office hookups and two guys who keep stumbling into romantic temptation on the way to a very happy HEA. It can be enjoyed alone but is best appreciated as part of the His Best Friend’s Brother series

The Geek Next Door
2020
He's always been there, whether I realized it or not.
Kai
Growing up, Izzy was the cute, geeky guy next door.
He and my twin brother were inseparable, and Izzy followed River around with hearts in his eyes.
Fifteen years after I last saw him, he moves in across the street and ends up as my last-minute date to River's wedding.
Izzy's sweet smile wins my heart, but when we get to bed, an old secret haunts me.
A stranger from video chat, an anonymous cutie who wears a costume and a mask.
Could my secret online relationship really be the same man now quivering in my hands?
And can I get past my shame about our history in time to be the man Izzy deserves?
The Geek Next Door is a sweet and steamy M/M romance with an HEA. It features a double wedding in the woods, a kitty costume, and geeky-cute fun. Read it as a standalone or as part of His Best Friend's Brother for maximum enjoyment!

Shared Secrets
2020
His brother’s two best friends, and an HEA worth fighting for…
I’ve had a crush on Blake and Casey since I first started getting crushes.
My older brother’s best friends, they practically lived at our house growing up.
And when I was an awkward tween, I truly believed they were the coolest people on this unworthy planet.
So it’s surprising and sweet when they offer to let me stay with them in Pittsburgh.
After moving to a new city, I suddenly lose my apartment, and Blake and Casey are my unexpected salvation.
Which is great, except that I have a cardboard box full of makeup and lingerie hidden beneath my bed, and a promise I’ve made to myself.
Now that I’m on my own, I’m going to live the way I want to live, and dress how I want to dress.
I just can’t imagine wearing lipstick in front of my brother’s intimidating, older friends.
I can’t imagine having the courage to share my secret with them, until I learn that Casey and Blake have some secrets of their own…

Falling for Trouble
2021
Steamy trouble with his best friend’s long-lost brother
Peyton
I thought he was a stranger when we met—a night that started in a bar, working up the courage to explore my sexuality.
But it wasn’t until Jet dropped his wallet in an alley thirty minutes later that I saw his legal name, Alastair Brown, and my heart stopped.
My friend and business partner, Noah Brown, had a brother with that name.
A brother he hadn’t seen in years, a famous DJ and party boy with a reputation for causing scandals.
Scandals like dragging a straight-laced architect into an alley, pushing me against a brick wall, and blowing my mind.
Suddenly, Jet and I are thrown together, our lives colliding.
He’s nothing like what I expected, yet somehow, exactly who I need.
But even if my tattooed party boy is willing to try for something more, will Noah accept his troublemaking brother as the one for his straight best friend?
Falling for Trouble is a steamy, low-angst MM romance with an HEA. Peyton and Jet’s story features sizzling heat, new beginnings, and a man learning to accept that he’s become a hot bear. It can be read as a standalone and is the fifth and final novel in His Best Friend’s Brother. Enjoy!
