Employing Patience (Divorced Men's Club, #4)
Saxon James
Art When it comes to regrets, I have none. My life is perfect. I own a bar, work hard, party harder, and smother my niblings in all the love they deserve. I don’t need to settle down, as much as my sister might want me to. But then Joey Manning walks into my office and leaves me all but begging to give him a job … and wanting to give him so much more. The self-professed straight man is in my head and while I know that I need to move on from him, my body isn’t getting that message. It doesn’t help that Joey is a grade A flirt who can banter with the best of them. I’ve never had regrets. Not until Joey Manning. Joey The bills keep piling up and the pressure to get my sisters through college before we’re evicted is always on the back of my mind. Whoever said life was for living, clearly forgot that living’s expensive. My default mode is stressed AF and working myself to the bone, and there’s only one person who gives me a break from all that. Art de Almeida. My boss. The one man I shouldn’t flirt with, but I can’t seem to stop. I want to get under his skin. To leave him panting for me. Which wouldn’t be such a bad thing except that he thinks I’m straight, and I’ve never bothered to correct him. I need this job. But some days I worry that I need Art more.

Budding Attraction
Saxon James
Ford I've never thought much about Orson Naples. He's a cute guy who I'd seen around town a few times, but then one day he up and left and didn't reappear until a few years later. No one knows where he went or what he was doing, all this gossipy town knows is that he's a widower, owns the florist, and is friends with that divorced group that hang out at the Killer Brew all the time. But then one day I step into his flower shop and go from rarely thinking about him, to him constantly being on my mind. There's a restlessness to him that I'm dying to unlock answers to. And his eyes linger on me a little too long for a straight man ... Orson Ford Thomas is a pest. A delightful one. A tempting one. But I'm too old for games. The ones I've played in the past have always led me to trouble which is why I vowed to settle down and live a quiet life. So when Ford walks into my shop all uncontained energy and flirty quips in a pair of heavy work boots, I know I should show him the door. I don't need fun. I don't need experiences. Especially when those experiences have me questioning things I thought I knew about myself.

Platonic Rulebook (Divorced Men's Club)
Saxon James
Walking away from my marriage was my idea of a fresh start. My kid is in college, my ex-wife and I are on good terms ... but being single in my forties is a world different to being single in my teens. I'm thankful for my best friend, Heath. He's got my back like he always does and is ready to take me out and show me how the bachelor life is done. He was never supposed to show me literally . After we wake up in bed together, I can't stop looking at him differently, and one thing becomes abundantly clear. I talk a big talk about wanting to be single, but my platonic rule book has gone out the window. When my best friend comes to me for help post-divorce, I'm only too happy to impart my wisdom to him. After all, Griffin isn't my type, but even I can tell he's a complete lumber snack . Good with his hands, kind eyes, and a killer smile. All the guys and gals are gonna eat him alive. But the more time we spend together, the less "not my type" he becomes. I'm the one who can't get enough of him. Neither of us is interested in a relationship, so what's a little fun between friends? We both know the score.

Roommate Arrangement (Divorced Men's Club, #1)
Saxon James
Payne: In search of: room to rent. Must ignore the patheticness of a forty-year-old roommate. Preferably dirt cheap as funds are tight (nonexistent). There’s nothing sadder than moving back to my hometown newly divorced, homeless, and lost for what my next move is. When my little brother’s best friend offers me a place to stay in exchange for menial duties, I swallow my pride and jump at the offer. I need this. I also need Beau to wear a shirt. And ditch the gray sweatpants. And not leave his door ajar when he’s in compromising positions ... Beau: In search of: roommate. Must be non smoker and non douchebag. Room payment to be made in meal planning, repairs, and dumb jokes. Since my career took off, I barely have time to breathe, let alone keep my life in order. I’m naturally chaotic, make terrible decisions, and scare off potential dates with my “weirdness”. So when Payne gets back into town and needs somewhere to stay, I offer him my spare room with one condition: while he’s staying with me, I need him to help me become date-able. And while he does that, I can focus on my other plan: ignoring that Payne is the only man I’ve ever wanted to date.

Scored (Nashville Grizzlies, #2)
Carly Marie
Insanity is falling for your best friend, especially when you’re straight. Igor is ready to retire his goalie pads and move on to coaching, but first he needs to get through hip surgery. Waking up, he's shocked to find his best friend sitting in the room. Yuri should be in Russia visiting family, not insisting on helping Igor with his recovery. Yuri is known for his patience in net. Calculated and calm, he’s everything Igor is not, and exactly what Igor needs after surgery. Leaving Igor to recover alone was never an option, and his insistence on pushing limits only proves Yuri was right. The more time they spend together, the more the lines of friendship get blurred. Igor might not be as straight as he’s always thought. Except Yuri doesn’t need a boyfriend, he’s looking for a submissive. Not just any will do. He wants one who pushes boundaries and Yuri's patience. Just because Igor can drive him insane doesn’t mean he’s the brat Yuri’s been looking for… or maybe it does.

TAI Ten years ago, I made the biggest mistake of my life. When Hawke left for the NHL and my hockey dreams went up in smoke, I ghosted my best and longest friend. It made sense at the time, but there hasn’t been a day where I haven’t missed him. So when we run into each other again, and his only response is “Do I know you?”, I know I deserve it. But I refuse to let one mistake keep us apart forever. Especially when he has bigger problems, and I’m in a position to help him. JENSEN All I wanted this offseason was to spend my time relaxing–not getting an emergency phone call from Mom to come home. My hometown is full of too many memories of me and Tai so I avoid returning there as much as I can. But now I have one more memory to add to the list: my high school girlfriend. And the kid we apparently had together. Kasen hates me and thinks I abandoned them, and my only way to get to him is through his coach. My ex-best friend. The friend that has been impossible to forget. No matter how much I’ve tried.

The one who broke him may just be the one who puts him back together.Kellan O’Reilly’s life is a delicate balancing act.

Bennett “Wells” Wellington III has done everything that he can to avoid tutoring athletes. So, when he’s forced to help Kellan O’Reilly, the carefully crafted facade he’s worked for years to perfect starts crumbling.

Or why being with Kellan is suddenly making him feel more like himself than ever before. As they spend more time together, Wells’ commanding presence and dominating nature unlocks a part of Kellan that’s like a drug to experience. Better than the sleep he desperately needs.
