Keeping your eye on the prize isnât always a good thing.
Nico knows heâs difficult; he has the string of exes to prove it. But staying sharp was the only way to stay safe in the cutthroat world of modeling, and it turns out, graduate school isnât any gentler. Career first. Boysâ¦later.
Jadon knows heâs burning out; his partner at the Metropolitan Police is more than happy to remind him of that fact. But the last time he let himself get distracted, people died, and heâs not going to let it happen again. And Nico was nothing but a distraction.
When a chance encounter brings them together again, Nico isnât interested in apologies, and Jadon isnât interested in Nicoâor at least, thatâs what he tells himself. But when the stalker Jadon has been trying to catch marks Nico as his next target, they have no choice but to stick together. And the longer theyâre together, the more they realize that what they want might not be what they need.
Body Count:
This isnât a romance. This isnât happily-ever-after. This is a mystery. And, like me, itâs pretty messed up.
Detective Gray Dulac is in freefall: a disfiguring injury; a crumbling relationship; a slowly imploding career. But thereâs a kind of clarity to it all. A detachment. A way of being in the world when you canât screw things up any more than you already have.
When he stumbles across a wounded young man outside a party, though, Gray is struck by the similarities between their injuries, and he discovers he might not be as detached as he thought. The case falls under the jurisdiction of the sheriffâs office, but Gray canât seem to leave it alone, and he continues to investigate even after being told to stop.
The only problem is that everyone, including the victim, is lying to him. And when the young man turns up dead, Gray finds himself at the top of the list of suspects and racing to find the real killerâand the truth. Because better than anyone, Gray knows that truth is a broken mirror.
And the edges are sharp enough to cut.
The Kiss Principle:
Keep it simple, stupid.
After spending his whole life taking care of his family, Fernando Lopez is ready for simple. His younger brothers have grown up and moved out of the house. His mom is stableâor as close to stable as sheâs ever going to get. Heâs even got a shot at his dream job if he can just play his cards right.
Everything is going great until one morning, Fer finds a baby in his kitchen. And not just any babyâhis brother Chuyâs infant daughter. With Chuy nowhere to be found, Fer finds himself back in the role of caregiver.
Determined not to let the new arrival disrupt his plans, Fer hires a manny to help him, and he gets more than he bargained for. Zé is sweet, patient, andâ¦hot. Which is definitely not something Fer was prepared to deal with. Worse, Zé seems determined to show Fer that simpler isnât necessarily better, and that there are some things in life worth fighting for. But for Fer, saying yes to Zé might mean saying no to his familyâand Fer has never said no to his family.
