“You were late,” he said accusingly, poking his finger in Logan’s chest.
“I know. I’m sorry.” Logan took Kit’s wrist and kissed his finger. “Dizzy was playing with some of the recently hatched dissimosaurs. They loved her. I have a video.”
Kit maintained his scowl for a few more seconds, then it melted. “Really?”
“Really.” Logan leaned in and kissed his lips softly. “You also look so fucking hot right now, did I tell you yet?”
“You told me this morning. Twice. While trying to undress me as I was getting dressed.”
Logan grinned and kissed him again, slipping his thumbs into the belt loops on Kit’s trousers to pull him in closer. “Do you have plans this afternoon?”
“No, but you do. You owe me a report.”
“Really?” Logan pouted.
“Really,” Kit said with a laugh. “I have to deliver a cost analysis next week, and I can’t do that until I’ve got your report.”
Technically, Kit was Logan’s boss since Kit had taken over from Simon Johansson, who Logan had reported to. When they’d come clean about their relationship, there had been a few conversations about changing the reporting structure of the ranger team, until someone decided that sounded like too much work and they were told in no uncertain terms to keep their professional relationship professional.
Which Logan did. Most of the time. With the exception of giving Kit blowjobs in his office chair.
“I should probably get Dizzy somewhere so she can nap,” Logan said. He reluctantly let go of Kit’s pants.
“Okay.” Kit braced his hands against Logan’s chest so he could lean up and kiss his cheek. “Go write me that report.”
Logan whistled for Dizzy, who rushed over to his side. Kit leaned down to fuss with her for a moment—his way of saying goodbye.
“See you later, hotshot,” Logan said. “Come on, Dizzy.”

Tattoo artist Max Marshall races into his hometown of Sweetwater, West Virginia—and is promptly pulled over for speeding. Max’s luck isn’t all bad, though, because he recognizes the deputy, Tyler Reed, Max’s childhood best friend’s older brother.
Reconnecting with Tyler helps Max settle back in, and it also leads to attraction. But when he tries to explore that connection at the grand opening of his tattoo studio—by kissing Tyler—awkwardness ensues. Max wants more, but has he misread Tyler’s signals?
As a single father raising a six-year-old daughter, Tyler doesn’t have much time to date. He’s ignored his attraction to men for years, but he can’t stop thinking about the kiss he shared with Max. If he can handle the complications of dating in a small town and the possible consequences to his career, this romance could blossom with all the colors of summer.
When high school student James has trouble with his truck, Dylan, who is studying to be a mechanic, comes to the rescue. James thinks he hides his immediate attraction well, but is happy to be wrong when Dylan asks for his number. Since James is new to romance, they take things slowly, and because Dylan is in college, James keeps the budding relationship secret from his overprotective dad.
Across town, Mark, a teacher and single father to James and his sister, Frankie, meets Steve at a bar for what both believe will be a quick hookup. Mark doesn’t see any reason to tell his kids about Steve or press Steve for details about Steve’s adopted son…. It’s just sex between them. Isn’t it?
Two very different love stories grow side by side, each hidden from the other. But all of that changes at a family barbecue, when Mark decides it’s time for his kids to meet Steve and for him to meet James’s boyfriend, who none of them realize is Steve’s son, Dylan. The inevitable explosion means the two couples have some explaining to do to soothe the hurt feelings of their families—and lovers.
When paleontologist Nick Eisenberg learns that someone thinks they have found velociraptor bones in Alberta, his curiosity overrides his desire to stay in London. After all, he’s one of the world’s leading experts on prehistoric predators and has always wanted to look for the velociraptor’s North American cousins. There’s only one problem: eco-conservationist Hunter Joseph. While Nick supervises the dig, Hunter rallies support from the locals to oppose the way the team is destroying the landscape in their search for dinosaur bones.
Nick and Hunter just cannot get along. Hunter is self-righteous and pouty. Nick is narrow-minded and geeky. But they have to figure out how to work on the same site without killing each other, especially since someone else out there seems determined to cause Nick more problems than he could have ever imagined.
Jackson Lewis isn’t a typical werewolf. He isolates himself in a small town outside Spokane and dedicates himself to making his business—Lone Wolf Brewery—a success. If it leaves him little time for romance, he’s okay with that. His soul mate could be out there somewhere, but he isn’t actively looking.
So he’s in for quite the shock when he literally bumps into his soul mate—Leo Gallagher, an adorable, nerdy, vibrant music therapist who’s Jackson’s polar opposite.
But he’s human. And a man.
Jackson is straight—or at least he’s always assumed so. Though he can’t deny his attraction to Leo, it’s a lot for both of them to deal with.
While Jackson and Leo figure out what their future might hold, they face prejudice from both the human and werewolf communities—including a group of fanatics willing to kill to show humans and werewolves don’t belong together.
Cooper Reed has a fairly relaxed life for someone who lives in LA. He’s no celebrity—just the guy who makes sundaes at the Dreamy Creamery, and that’s the way he likes it. The highlight of every week is the beautiful guy who turns up and orders a sundae with rainbow sprinkles. Cooper still isn’t sure if that’s a code, because he has a huge crush and the hot guy is terrible at flirting.
Drew Tanner, it turns out, is an original California dreamer. He’s as wholesome as apple pie and twice as sweet, a real-life Disney Prince at Disneyland. But while Drew’s head is in the clouds, Cooper’s feet are firmly on the ground, and their different outlooks might be more than their new relationship can take.
