Reckless Behaviour

2011

Aidan Vaughn lets himself be swept into a night of passion with a sexy younger man. After their one night of pleasure, Aidan believes he’s seen the last of him. But fate has other plans. The hot young man is crossing his path again and is making his intentions clear. Aidan considers him off limits, at least by his own rules. Yet, Aidan finds himself wondering…was once really enough? Enrique Matthews is not one to pass up opportunities. And he sure as hell wasn't about to with this one. It didn't matter if it was luck or coincidence that he found the hot older gentleman with whom he’d had one memorable night. Now he had to convince Aidan he wanted more than a one night stand. Will determination and seduction get him what he desires? Enrique was willing, able, and limber enough to engage in a little … hell, a lot… of Reckless Behaviour to get what he wanted … this sexy man for his, now and forever.

A Tender Roughness

2011

Will the stubborn biker be able to resist the lure of the persuasive businessman, who could match him in all ways? Kincaid Vaughn knows what he likes in a man. And the redheaded cowboy is so far from his usual type. When passion between them explodes, he goes with it. But he wakes to find that the man has left with no word, and that he is not just any cowboy, but Alistair James—brother to Kincaid’s good friend. Kincaid is pissed. In his opinion, Alistair puts money above family, which is something Kincaid cannot accept. He decides he is only mildly annoyed, or at least that’s what he tells himself. The return of Alistair and his declaration that he is back to make Kincaid his is baffling. Kincaid decides that a fling with the sexy man is fine, but no emotion or getting attached. But Alistair’s determined pursuit may change his mind…eventually. Alistair James knows from the time he lays eyes on the sensual biker that he will make him his…every ornery, stubborn, and arrogant inch of him. Kincaid might say it was just sex, but with his every touch, the things he did and the way he treated him, Alistair knew the truth. The hard-headed man wanted him now and forever. Alistair will just have to use his considerable skills of persuasion and orneriness. And if that doesn’t work, then doing what he wants to bring Kincaid around to his way of thinking. It will take A Tender Roughness to get the man that was made only for him…each and every edible inch. Reader Advisory: This book is best read in sequence as part of a series

Although Niall plans not to see Roarke again, the musician is determined to change his mind. As he gets to know him, Niall is drawn beyond the persona of Roarke the superstar to the man—who is both interesting and aggravating. Roarke McBride is used to some people not enjoying his music and is usually able to shrug it off. Niall’s creations from his CDs make him laugh, thinking it’s a trick...until Niall opens his mouth and insults him. Instead of taking it in his stride, Roarke is furious...at first. By the next day his thoughts are clear—Niall might hate his music but Roarke is determined to make the stunning man his. Niall was snarky, rude and blunt, but as he gets to know him, Roarke sees that he would stand by his side and weather anything with him.

One Good Man

Impressions Impressions are made, whether it’s that first glimpse, a random encounter, things you have heard about someone without first meeting them, or any number of things. They all lead to an impression, that first and immediate perception of mind or sensation each person has about another. You form an unconscious impression, based on your visceral reaction. Many times our reactions and the way we interact is due to how our impressions are coloured. Yet… What goes beyond that impression? What happens when you move beyond it and delve into the deeper reality of who a person is? Impressions explores the lives of men in the fictional town of Hollisville, California. The complexities, sexuality, and love they find there. Take a journey to explore and unveil the layers that reside behind…Impressions.

The man he meets while doing a favour for his boss and friend tests him, drawing him out of his shell. He wants to find out what makes Mace tick. The man resists him yet looks at him as if he wants all Gabe has to give. Gabe is more than willing to take him up on the offer he sees in his eyes. But first he needs to get Mace to verbalise his desires. Mace Hutton is being driven daft by a man who is nothing like any other man he has been attracted to. Gabe is a danger to his hard-fought plan to keep free from entanglements. The contrast of his big bear of a man size and his gentleness makes Mace long to feel Gabe’s touch.
