Genre: Romance









1. Circus Comes to Town - Safford “Safety” Tulaine—medically discharged from the Army after an IED destroyed his future as a Special Forces Engineer Sergeant—has a new mission; build affordable housing for wounded warriors. When his grandfather leaves him the perfect tract of land, his dreams have a chance of becoming reality, but he has to buckle down. There’s no time for distractions, including his persistent ex-girlfriend. But when he calls on his old buddy Tex to procure an electrician for his worksite, the wily man doesn’t hesitate to send him a wildcard. ?
Bronwyn “Circus” Lange is having a difficult time finding a job in her field. Who wants to hire an electrician with one hand? Having lost her limb in a fire-fight in Afghanistan, most people see her as less than whole. When Tex calls to say he’s found her the perfect position, she has a hard time believing him. Until she meets Safety. The man not only gives her a chance, but is in danger of stealing her heart.
2. Sparkle in His Eye - Zaine “Zero” Oates grew up under the worst of circumstances; trapped in a troubled life he never talks about. With hard work and perseverance, he reached his goal of becoming a Navy SEAL, but a dozen years into his dream-career, an insurgent with a knife inflicts an injury, cutting his military tenure short. Life after the teams looks pretty bleak until Tex the miracle-man sets him up with a job working for an ex-Army Combat Engineer building homes for wounded Vets. What he doesn’t count on when agreeing to come to Pleinfield, is forming a crush on the mystifying local librarian…a woman who clearly harbors deep secrets of her own.
Ginny “Sparkle” Smith—up and coming actress—is laying low, her current life as a small-town librarian giving her the cover she needs to hide from her stalker. But the stress is getting to her. When will her exile end? She yearns for a life outside her small duplex apartment and the little library’s story-hours, but as long as someone is after her, she’ll never be able to return to the big stage in New York. When an additional monkey-wrench gets thrown into the works, in the guise of a handsome, curly-haired ex-soldier who wants to date, how can she let her guard down and say yes? But how can she say no? Danger is in the air, but so is love.
3. Steel My Heart - Bantom Freed’s flesh has healed. His prosthetics finally feel like second nature. Yet he can’t shake loose the ghosts that haunt him. No amount of therapy can convince him he couldn’t have saved his SEAL teammate that horrible night, and he owns that failure every waking and sleeping minute. He’s certain guilt will stalk him forever…until he meets Steel.
Steel Grisher has a past that still leaves her gasping in terror at random moments, but she’s risen above those fears to become tops in the motorcycle restoration field. She has a father who loves her, and an aunt she didn’t know existed until recently. What more could a woman ask for? How about a handsome, hurting SEAL whose life is also tormented by specters? Can she convince Bantom they’re better off fighting those demons together? The answer will have to wait until they solve the mystery of Aunt Astrid’s shady guests.
4. Freedom in His Life - Colt “Heath” Fillyn lost an eye in an explosion of shrapnel, and since then, he’s also lost his sense of place in the world. He’s always viewed the universe with the soul of a poet, but nothing takes the lyricism out of life more than war. After witnessing the devastation to his team that day, he no longer wears rose colored glasses. He still sings on occasion, attempting to at least appear normal, but he’s stopped composing. Hell, he hasn’t even seen his parents since his discharge and recovery because…well…they’ d know he wasn’t himself. Then along came Freedom.
Freedom Laramey, a nurse at the local hospital and the director of a safe-house for battered women, has a huge secret. Up until Colt enters her life, she hasn’t really minded that her past makes her live a reclusive, half engaged life. But the possibility of being with Colt has her eager to throw off those weighty shackles and grab onto some happiness. Her heart soars when he’s around, but her brain admonishes. It’s not fair to give Colt hope, when she can never honestly be his.
5. Accepting Joy - Braden “Joystick” Muniz should have found his happily-ever-after two years ago, if only one stubborn, in denial chief of police would wake up and see what’s staring him right in the face. Everyone knows the chief is gay, but will the stubborn man admit it? No. Which leads JS to believe something is very wrong in Cal’s past. The Navy SEAL has tried to work his good-natured magic to move himself closer to the man of his dreams, but Cal is a slippery one. He makes sure they are never alone. Now, however, Cal lets jealousy—an emotion he never admits to—trick him into a “buddies” road-trip. If Joystick has his way, this is the last time he’ll be relegated to the “friend zone”.
Calhoun “Cal” Jeekins is the Police Chief in the small town of Pleinfield, a position he looked forward to holding even when active in Marine Corp Intelligence. Keeping his secret from the military was easy. Keeping it quiet in his small town? Not so much. For two years he’s been avoiding the one man who could derail all his subterfuge. Joystick. Just saying the man’s name is trouble. Why, oh why has Cal let himself be goaded into accompanying him on a drive out-of-state? He knows there’s no way this can end well.
Joystick and Cal are not only out for a drive, they are embarking on a long day of avoidance and innuendo. Soon, however, they unexpectedly find themselves in desperate trouble when they come across a man, murdered, on the side of the road. Can they work together to extricate themselves from their perilous position, or will the chasm of sexual tension that lies between them, spell both their dooms?
6. His Outlook is Sonny - There isn’t a speck of ambiguity in what the Navy doctors told Garvin “Echo” Tibes when he was discharged. He is slowly going deaf. After all the strife he’s had to put up with in his life, this is the capper. He’s bitter and disillusioned; the only thing giving him any comfort at all is the degree to which he’s been able to hone his other senses. Roaming the streets of the nearby small city at night without his hearing aids has added to his sharpness, which is a good thing, because so far he sucks at sign language, and reading lips is incredibly frustrating. The crew at Safety’s whom he’s come to revere, doesn’t think less of him for his progressive condition. Hell, they all have challenges of their own. But Echo continues to be hard on himself. There’s no way he’s going to become a burden to anyone. Not even the intriguing Sonny, who’s just come into his life.
Sonora “Sonny” Lashlee is a music therapist by day, a bartender by night. She’s also a lucky sweepstakes winner, which means she doesn’t have to work, but she won’t leave her jobs. They give her the personal satisfaction and social outlets she needs. Everything seems fine, if not very exciting, until one day it becomes clear someone is out to end her life. She can’t imagine why. She has no enemies; no ex-students or customers with axes to grind. She also has no close friends. So when Echo comes to her rescue with the help of a garden gnome, she embraces his protection with open arms. Of course, it would be an added bonus if Echo would welcome her with the same enthusiasm he gives his job, but something is holding him back.
7. Tug at Her Heartstrings - Declan “Tug” Brazos is a paraplegic, but that doesn’t define him. He’s a man who’s always operated at one-hundred-and-ten percent. He’s building a house, he’s become part of an awesome group that doesn’t judge, and he’s interested in a woman. The problem is, the female in question doesn’t know he’s confined to a wheelchair, and he’s not sure how she’ll react when she finds out…or should he say if she finds out. The pair have been phone-friends for almost a year, but does Tug dare take things to the next level by orchestrating a meeting? His heart and his friends say yes, but the big medically discharged SEAL who’s never backed down from a challenge, isn’t sure he has the courage to take this on.
Reese Leanart has a huge crush on a man she’s never seen, but every time she works up the determination for an in-person meeting, she chickens out. She was born with a condition that often attracts scorn and ridicule; no more so than from her own cousins who have made it their life’s work to grind Reese’s self-esteem into the ground. How will Tug react if she allows him to set eyes on her? Isn’t it safer to keep him as a sexy voice over the phone instead of jeopardizing their year-long friendship? The decision is a tough one, but if a possible meeting goes well, it could add a whole new dimension to her life. If it backfires, however, and screws up their increasingly intimate conversations, she’s going to end up with a boatload of regret.
8. His Truly - Lennie Fraisaro knows he has a lot to learn, and not about the carpentry he's currently doing for his new boss, Safety, on the wounded-vet development. No. He needs to get a handle on why he feels the need to rush head-long into situations that inevitably get someone hurt…or killed. It's a failing that has gotten him into a lot of jeopardy in the past. Now, after reconnecting with a woman he’s longed for since high school, can he approach her problems any differently? She's in trouble, and he feels it's his job to help her. Can he do that without causing serious consequences? His actions seem inevitable. He just prays they won’t come back to haunt him.
Even though Truly Schumm hasn’t seen Lennie in years, she certainly remembers him as the one who got away. They’d never hooked up in high school, but he's the fantasy-man to whom she’s measured every date she’s ever been on, since. The question is, does she dare let him into her life, now? Having remained friends with Lennie’s mother, Truly has been kept apprised over the years of Lennie’s propensity to leap to the rescue of people in distress, regardless of how it plays out for him in the end. Truly’s situation is so messed up, Lennie will surely want to intervene, but is she ready to have him risk everything in order to make a future relationship possible?
9. Danger on His Doorstep - Honey “Danger” Thibault is floundering in unfamiliar territory: attracted to a man. Not that males aren’t her preference, but she’s been treated so despicably by the men who have been in her life, she’s sworn off the opposite sex, forever. Or so she thinks. The cop she’s become fixated on is a good guy. She’s sure of it. From what she’s observed, his whole life is about helping others. But if what she’s feeling is an actual crush, how does she move forward with that? Lacking experience, she puts her muscle where her mouth is, and throws herself into the middle of a bar brawl he’s trying to break up. Maybe her fighting prowess will make the handsome officer take notice.
It could be his near concussion—having been beaned by a bar stool—that has something to do with Mac Mantrose suddenly noticing the strawberry-blonde, pocket-hell-cat who comes to his aid. He knows her, after all. She’s part of a group he’s become friendly with out at Safety Tulaine’s farm. He kicks himself when, with a slip of the tongue, he calls her beautiful. Mac sees skepticism instantly flaring up in her pretty brown eyes, but he’s not taking it back. She’s freaking gorgeous. How had he not noticed that before? It defies his past experiences, but this shy conundrum of a woman just does something for him.
