I came looking for family...I never expected to find love.... Lost parents, foster care, group homes...I’ve seen it all, and I wish I was over it. But now that I’m out of college I can’t move forward until I find answers about my past. And that brings me to Bennet Wood. But it’s not long lost relatives who change everything...it’s Jay. He says he’s just passing through, but he makes me feel like I’ve found a new home. I don’t know what it will take to make him mine, but I have to try. Things are just heating up when I find out everything I thought I knew was a lie.

I’ve never really understood attraction in the usual way people think about it. I have to really know someone to fall for them, and my new best friend Hawk is ticking all the boxes. But like most things in life, it’s complicated. His ex walked away from him and his baby girl, leaving him gun-shy and overcautious. I’m still recovering from a crash that’s left me with a bad case of PTSD and feeling weak and unworthy.

I don't know why nobody ever wanted me. For real, I mean. My parents died when I was eight, and I spent the next 10 years hopping between foster homes. Let's just say, they barely did me any favors. I have got nothing. No job, no place to live and I have no one to be with. Except...well...I do have DNA test results from a genealogy website. With close family matches. It’s probably a stupid idea. A total long shot, really... I’m going to go and find them.

I don’t think I deserve a second chance. Eight years ago, my best friend Griff walked out of my life. It wasn’t his fault. He came out of the closet and his parents told him to get lost. He was looking to me for a plan, some support - but I let him down. I gave up hoping that he would get in touch, even just to let me know he was alright. So when I saw him back in town scoping out real estate for his art gallery, I was shocked - and so damn hopeful I couldn’t think straight. I’ll do anything it takes to stand up for him - even if it costs me my job.

When the news broke that my dad had been using his position at the fertility clinic to do things he shouldn’t, it sent our small town into uproar. That the world now knows that my overbearing father isn’t as squeaky clean as he seems might even be worth it...except that he’s taking my mother and me down with him. Things in my family have gotten really rough, but there are two constants that I can still rely on: my best friend Eli and our new friend Nathanial.

Heath has spent most of his life protecting himself from the traumas of his childhood, but now, he’s ready to move on. Stepping out of his shell is easy compared to dealing with the turmoil going on in his heart. He has his eye on his mentor, but Heath doesn’t know if he’s ready to take the plunge with Cade. Ignoring the question won’t make it go away, but he’s worried that confessing his feelings could ruin everything.

Scandal has rocked Kit Morris' well-ordered life and called into question everything he thought he knew about his biological family. In the wake of his father’s death, he’s traveled all the way to North Carolina to find an outlet for his simmering rage. And there’s no better outlet than odious falconer Patrick Spencer. Patrick somehow manages to press all of Kit’s buttons while being way too tempting for his own good.

Victor is the last single Benson brother, and he’s ready for that to change. But the men he yearns for are off limits. He wants his best friend...and his best friend’s husband. Moving on is bound to hurt, but he’s not about to rip apart a happy couple. Avoiding them is his only option until Grant and Rabbie suffer a devastating fire and need a place to stay. Victor has the room, but with the two men he wants under his roof, Victor can’t help but wonder if his impossible desires are so impossible after all.
