Scorch – Homecoming Hearts #1
Blake has never had a boyfriend before. Because he isn’t gay. Until recently, he was part of one of America’s most successful boy bands. After their record label ruthlessly dropped Below Zero, Blake has no choice but to head back to his hometown with his overbearing family.
Elion never thought he’d get another chance with his high school crush, the pop star hunk Blake Jackson. Not when his life is the opposite of exciting, stuck as a barista in the town he grew up in. When Blake walks back into his world though, Elion feels like there might be something between them after all.
All Blake wants is to pursue his first love of dance again. But in order to do that, he finds himself the star of a reality TV show, and the producers are determined to spice things up. They don’t care that Blake isn’t gay, not when Elion makes such a cute boyfriend. The pair send the ratings through the roof and find themselves forced to continue the charade. At least for the time being.
As reality and fiction begin to blur, falling in love becomes a tantalizingly possibility. Dangerously so, as a real-life superfan decides that Blake belongs to him and will do anything to claim him.
Elion will have to fight if he’s to keep the man who has fallen into his arms. But Blake will also have to fight to keep Elion safe from harm.

Joey plans to get as far away from home as soon as he can, yet Gabe can't imagine any other life. But when Joey hits rock bottom, Gabe is the only one who can save him. Protect him. Keep him warm.

Raiden Jones never thought he’d need a bodyguard. His life as a songwriter has been tame to the point of boring compared to his popstar days. But when a malicious hacker starts destroying his career and threatening his life, he finds himself desperately in need of protection.
After leaving the Marines, Levi Patterson takes a place with his uncle’s private security firm. The last thing he expected was a dumb babysitting job for the bratty, privileged Raiden. However, the two men have no choice but to get to know each other as they are forced on tour with one of Raiden’s remaining clients.
Levi has never told anyone of his secret, occasional hook-ups with guys from his unit, and Raiden’s never thought about going with another man before. But it’s obvious the increasing chemistry between them is becoming more than physical, and there’s only so long they can resist.
As the hacker becomes bolder, Levi finds himself in a race against time before Raiden is taken from him forever. He’s no stranger to combat, but with his heart on the line, he finds himself in the fight of both their lives.
