Sheriff Aaron George hat vor zehn Jahren seine Frau verloren. In
der Hoffnung, dass es fÜr seine Kinder besser wÄre, in einer
Kleinstadt aufzuwachsen, zog er nach Colton. Mittlerweile kennt er
jeden in der Stadt, einschließlich Mr. Larkin, den quirligen,
amÜsanten Naturwissenschaftslehrer. Seit ‚Larx’ fast wider
Willen zum Rektor der Örtlichen Highschool befÖrdert wurde, fehlt
ihm die Zeit, die Leichtathletik-Mannschaft zu coachen, und er
beginnt stattdessen mit dem Joggen. Aaron dachte bislang, dass sich
sein restliches Leben nur noch um die Kinder drehen wÃœrde, aber
ein Rektor, der mit nacktem OberkÖrper an einer gefÄhrlichen
Straße entlang joggt, belehrt ihn eines Besseren. Auch Larx lebt
nur fÃœr seine Kinder und fÃœr die SchÃœler und SchÃœlerinnen der
Colton High. Aarons Interesse bemerkt er zuerst gar nicht. Dann
fangen sie an, gemeinsam zu joggen, und er lernt den Polizeibeamten
fÜr seine VerlÄsslichkeit, seinen Humor und sein volles
VerstÄndnis fÜr seine PrioritÄten zu schÄtzen: Kinder an
erster, Job an zweiter und die eigenen Interessen leider an
allerletzter Stelle. Schon nach einem Kuss fÃœhlen sich die beiden
Endvierziger wie verliebte Teenager, trotz der großen
Verantwortung, die auf ihren Schultern lastet. Dann wird die
aufkeimende Romanze von einem Gewaltverbrechen Ãœberschattet und
die beiden MÄnner mÜssen verhindern, dass die kleine Stadt im
Chaos versinkt. Als sich die Ereignisse zuspitzen, erkennen sie,
dass es ihre neu zusammenwachsende Familie ist, die verhindert,
dass ihre Welt aus den Fugen gerÄt.

For Judson Crosby, the transfer to the elite law enforcement branch
of the SCTF is a great escape from the death sentence he earned as
a whistle-blowing patrol officer. Calix Garcia, the fierce new guy,
makes a perfect partner, catching bad guys while minimizing
collateral damage. Crosby loves working with him. Of course, he’d
also love to work him over in a totally different way. Garcia has
waited his whole career for a solid, dependable partner like
Crosby. But after six months fighting crime together, he’s done
fighting their attraction. Their coming together promises to be
everything they need… until a threat from Crosby’s past
comes back to haunt not just him, but their entire team. When
Crosby goes undercover to keep them safe, Garcia is frantic with
worry. One false move could get Crosby killed and Garcia exposed.
But they have to fight their way clear, because hiding your lover
under the cover of darkness is no way to live. Crosby and Garcia
will risk everything for the chance to live their lives in the
light.
Two and a half years ago, Michael Carmody made the biggest mistake
of his life. Thanks to the Salinger crew, he has a second chance.
Now he’s working as their mechanic and nursing a starry-eyed
crush on the crew’s stoic suit, insurance investigator and spin
doctor Carl Cox. Carl has always been an almost-ran, so Michael’s
crush baffles him. When it comes to the Salingers, he’s the
designated wet blanket. But watching Michael forge the life he
wants instead of the one he fell into inspires him. In Michael’s
eyes, he isn’t an almost-ran—he just hasn’t found the right
person to run with. And while the mechanic and the suit shouldn’t
have much to talk about, suddenly they’re seeking out each
other’s company. Then the Salingers take a case from their past,
and it’s all hands on deck. For once, behind-the-scenes guys
Michael and Carl find themselves front and center. Between monster
trucks, missing women, and murder birds, the case is a jigsaw
puzzle with a lot of missing pieces—but confronting the unknown
is a hell of a lot easier when they’re side by side.

Can two quiet con men who lost their childhoods find their places
as a part of a family—and with each other? Ever since he watched
his father die, Etienne Couvier has kept to himself. Under the
tutelage of his adoptive family, the Salingers, Tienne grows into a
gifted forger and artist. But no matter how hard they try to draw
him into their midst—and despite the singular pull their friend
Stirling Christopher has on his emotions—he resists.  When
computer tech Stirling lost his foster parents, he found shelter
and love with the Salingers. Stirling knows firsthand what Tienne
has been through, so when an attacker shatters Tienne’s
self-imposed isolation, Stirling urges him into the Salinger crew.
Maybe they can finally explore the quiet attraction between them.
 Then the Salingers announce their next project: an inquest
into the mysterious deaths of Stirling’s adoptive parents. They
descend on the Caribbean for answers, with Stirling and Tienne the
quiet centers of the human justice-seeking hurricane. As they
stretch out of their comfort zones, they learn that being family
means someone always has your back. Hand in hand, they’ll solve
the mystery. They might even be able to live with the
consequences—as long as they do it together. Amy Lane’s Long
Con series follows a crew of civic-minded thieves on their quests
for justice, adventure, and love. Fans of Leverage, heist movies,
and romantic suspense will love The Tech.
Xander Karcek has only wanted two things in his life: Christian
Edwards and basketball—the man he loves and the game that let him
escape a childhood he'd rather forget. His two obsessions have
served him well. He and Chris beat the odds and stayed together
through high school, college, and right on to the NBA. But life
under fame's microscope isn't easy, especially when two men are
pretending to be frat-buddies so the world doesn't know they're the
next best thing to married. Their relationship survives the
sacrifices they make and the lies they tell to stay together, but
when their secret is exposed, the fallout might destroy them when
nothing else could. Chris and basketball are the two things holding
Xander together. Now the world is asking Xander to make a choice.
Is there an option that includes a future with the man he loves?
Miller Aldrun has spent his life being Cassandra, the prophet
nobody believes. Born knowing when a dangerous, armed presence is
nearby, Miller has always been dismissed—and had to see the
people he cares about hurt. Grieving the death of a closeted lover,
he finds solace cruising the waterways of Spinner’s Drift,
making sure the people in the outlying islands feel safe. When
Miller discovers the weekly gathering at The Magic of Books, its
members become the family he didn’t know he could have. That
includes Piers Constantine, who’s hiding on the islands with his
cousin to elude her stalker. Golden, kind, and humble, Piers finds
Miller fascinating. But Piers is destined to leave the island, and
even if he’s the only person who ever had faith in Miller, Miller
can’t bear the thought of losing someone else he loves. Then
Miller wakes up with that familiar warning in his gut. The long-ago
evil that has been stalking Piers and his cousin is catching up.
Miller’s gift might be the only way to protect them… but
he’ll have to let Piers in. Together, they plunge into one of the
island’s oldest mysteries. For once, being Cassandra is on
Miller’s side. Piers and Miller conceive a desperate plan to set
them free from fear—but if Miller fails, he knows nothing will be
left of him but the salt-bitter sea.
As a young detective, Sean Kryzynski expected violence on the job,
not to get stabbed coming back from lunch. Add an angsty bedside
breakup, and by the time he gets home from the hospital, he’s
over everything, including his irritating, hot-as-balls nurse,
Billy No-Last-Name with the big, cynical brown eyes. Billy’s
whole porn-model flophouse is experiencing a wave of altruism and
adulting—people getting real jobs and going to shrinks and doing
good works. Billy opts in too—he wants to be a good guy—but his
assignment is taking care of the world’s most exasperating,
headstrong patient. At least bunking with Sean means Billy has his
own spare bedroom and some peace and quiet to do classwork. The
porn model and the policeman seem to have no common ground, but
Billy's experience herding his younger siblings helps him manage
Sean with unexpected empathy—a skill Sean has been working on
too, because he wants to be a good cop. Eventually they chip away
at the walls around each other’s hearts and discover a real
connection. If not for their incompatible day jobs and inconvenient
pasts, they might even be falling in love…. Â
The tidal archipelago of Spinner’s Drift is a refuge for misfits.
Can the island’s magic help a pie-in-the-sky dreamer and a
wounded soul find a home in each other? In a flash of light and a
clap of thunder, Scout Quintero is banished from his home. Once
he’s sneaked his sister out too, he’s happy, but their
power-hungry father is after them, and they need a place to lie
low. The thriving resort business on Spinner’s Drift provides the
perfect way to blend in. They aren’t the only ones who think so.
Six months ago Lucky left his life behind and went on the run from
mobsters. Spinner’s Drift brings solace to his battered soul, but
one look at Scout and he’s suddenly terrified of having one more
thing to lose. Lucky tries to keep his distance, but Scout is
charming, and the island isn’t that big. When they finally
connect, all kinds of things come to light, including supernatural
mysteries that have been buried for years. But while Scout and
Lucky grow closer working on the secret, pissed-off mobsters,
supernatural entities, and Scout’s father are getting closer to
them. Can they hold tight to each other and weather the rising tide
together? Â
When Jason Constance rescued a busload of kidnapped children, he
didn’t expect a parade. He didn’t expect to be hunted by
mobsters and the military either. Wounded and half out of his mind,
Jason finds himself at the tender mercies of an angel-faced nurse
named Cotton. Cotton has just flunked out of porn, and as far as he
can tell, he’s flunking life too. Having an injured colonel in
his bed seems par for the course, but he’s too busy keeping Jason
alive to question how fate brought him there. But fate isn’t done
with them. When they go on the run from the mobsters who shot
Jason, there should be no time to fall in love, but neither man
seems suited for an average life—or relationship. Jason and
Cotton can probably survive homicidal mobsters and rogue military
operations. The question is, can they survive the work they’ll
have to do to forge a place just for them?
