Bound by Him Benjamin Ballard always assumed he was straight - in every way possible. They invented the term 'vanilla' to describe him.

But when a figure from his past shows up at a party, how will it affect what he and Ben have been building together? 4. Marked by Him Ben Ballard doesn't believe any scene with Xander could get truly scary. He knows Xander, and he knows Xander would never really hurt him. Xander might play at being the Big Bad Wolf, but underneath, he's a big softie. Right? Find out what happens when Xander blows the house down... 5. Loved by Him Ben Ballard has found his balance again after a difficult few days. Even better, he knows he has a boyfriend who loves him, a career that's finally starting to go places, and a family that accepts him for who he is. The only problem? Said boyfriend, Xander Romano, has to move across the country to New York for work, while Ben is stuck in LA. And on top of all that, Xander's poisonous ex turns up at his going away party...

Safe words are fundamental to any healthy kinky relationship. Ben Ballard *knows* this. So why can’t he bring himself to *use* his? Safe Word is a 10,000-word extra exploring the first time Ben called ‘Odyssey’ on Xander Romano…and why it took him so long.

Sebastian Fox, a British celebrity chef, flees the relentless English tabloids for the sunny shores of Los Angeles. As he plans the summer launch of his new culinary venture, the last thing he’s looking for is an entanglement—especially one that could make headlines. But at the urging of an old friend, Sebastian indulges in his one passion other than food, and attends a special event…one that involves a lot more spice than his restaurant recipes. Ezra Whitfield is a gorgeous male model who's had enough of being nothing more than a pretty face. After an anonymous, intimate encounter with a dashing older man at an adults-only club, Ezra becomes intrigued by ideas of control, surrender, and caring discipline. But his mystery man vanishes before Ezra can learn his name, leaving him longing for more. After Ezra charms his way into a job opportunity at a new restaurant, he's taken aback to find Sebastian, his intriguing stranger, wearing the chef's hat. Sparks fly in and out of the kitchen, and their age gap becomes the least of their worries as they whip up a recipe for love. Things are heating up fast—and neither of them want to leave this particular kitchen. But not everyone is so happy about their new relationship… Can Ezra and Sebastian overcome the odds, stamp out those sizzling rumors, and butter up an over-protective roommate? *** Star Spanked is a delicious low-angst romance with a touch of boss/employee dynamics, a dash of discipline, and topped with an enticing 17-year age gap. Savor a deliciously satisfying ending without the bitterness of cliffhangers. While it's part of a series, it can be tasted alone, but be prepared for a few familiar side dishes from previous books, who add a pinch of salt. Content Note: this book contains occasional allusions to restricted eating and diets, fashion industry standards for models, and body dysmorphia.
