What would you do if your dreams were silenced against your will? Famous country singer, Nyx Wilde, returns to her hometown in Candlewood Falls, in time for the holidays because her recent hearing problems have forced her to cancel her tour and leave the music scene behind. She battles her new existence, wanting desperately to go back to her calling-the way it was before.

He doesn't regret his decision for a practical, safe career and predictable reality, until he encounters Nyx again. Now all the things he believed to be true about himself might be lies he created to keep remorse from knocking at his door. Two people thrown together by chance will be forced to reexamine the paths they have chosen. Can life begin again without the sounds of applause? Is regret the unmovable roadblock? Whispering Christmas is a story about acceptance and searching for the courage to face unforeseen circumstances.

Two firefighters. One twink. Can an evil twin, a small-town holiday competition, and revealed secrets bring them together? I returned to Vermont to write an article about Mayor Doug McEmbirk and his town's battle to win their local Holiday-Off. Even before I knew him, I had a crush on him. Because have you seen the man? OMG. With his big biceps and easy charm, Doug's straight out of my firefighter fantasies. But I wasn't planning on my inconvenient attraction to his scowly, grumpy roommate, Zeke, who's the identical twin of my high school bully. That's... messy. Life gets even messier when Zeke confesses to the entire town that he's bisexual-and that he's been in love with Doug for years. Problem is, Doug's straight. Or is he? Now, I'm on a mission to bring these two hot men together. I volunteer my services as a love coach, because these burly guys can't even kiss without my assistance. Except both men seem to be into me as well. This is one confusing holiday season. Things only get more complicated when meddling newspaper editors and kidnapped cows become involved. Not to mention some accidental texts and eggnog-fueled confessions. Will Zeke, Doug, and I be able to navigate our newfound feelings? Or is this relationship as doomed as the Holiday-Off competition appears to be? TMI is a holiday m/m/m romance that includes a grandma-chic house, lots of cheer, and many OTT fantasies.

And don't get me started on how his first instinct is to protect me ... But I'm scared if I open my heart, I'm going to get hurt. Again. Can I risk telling Cam how I feel before our deal ends?

My hot best friend has no idea what he's doing to me. He sends me naughty texts at the most inappropriate times. He lets me fall asleep on top of him when we watch movies. And his protective side comes out if I dance too close to anyone at our favorite club. Correct me if I'm wrong, but those are things a boyfriend does. Except August isn't my boyfriend, he's my bestfriend, and those lines are drawn in permanent marker. The one time we tried to cross the boundary between friends and lovers, it failed so spectacularly that we never did it again. So ... "friends" is good enough. That's what I tell myself. Because at least I have him in my life. Without him, I'd be lost. But after we're dared to kiss, and that kiss reshapes reality, we agree to be friends who do things with each other. Nakey things. That makes my life so much better. And so much worse. After all, August doesn't want to settle down, and he never wants to get married. While I do. Most importantly, no matter how our relationship changes, he can't find out I'm desperately in love with him. Oblivious is a sweet and steamy contemporary m/m romance about best friends who don't know they're already dating. Noah and August are always touching, finish each other's sentences, and bristle whenever the other gets within six feet of a date, but they can't see what's crystal clear to everyone else. Oblivious features badly timed schmexy texts, a hot kiss that rocks two men's universes, and (unofficially, but likely) the highest number of heartfelt marriage proposals in a romance novel ever.
