Some fires you fight, some you let burn. With Calloway, all I want to do is feed the flames.
After thirty years as a firefighter and smokejumper, I’ve been forced into retirement by my injuries. Settling in Forestville was an easy decision, but what comes next? I have no clue who I am outside of my job.
When I meet Calloway, I recognize a kindred spirit. He’s hurting too, though for very different reasons. I wanna hug him, help him, hold him…and kiss the living daylights out of him because, god, he’s gorgeous.
But Calloway has created firebreaks around himself that are a bigger challenge than any burn I’ve ever faced. It’s gonna take time to convince him I’ll be a good friend…and an even better lover.
I’ve jumped out of planes into thousand-acre fires. Falling for Calloway? That’s the scariest thing I’ve ever done. And I’m doing it without a parachute.
Befriending the Bear is a slow-burn, friends-to-lovers MM romance between two older guys who find comfort with each other. This gay romance novel is the sixth book in the Forestville Silver Foxes series, a contemporary small town MM romance series featuring hot silver foxes and the men who fall in love with them. Each book can be read as a standalone.
Ryan Devlin loves his life in Caldwell Crossing. His career as a woodworker is fulfilling, and his close-knit group of friends are like brothers to him. Ryan is quiet and introverted and not interested in making changes to his life and his routines—not when he still struggles with memories of childhood bullying and feelings of inadequacy. But when his sister needs to relocate a short-stay guest because of a plumbing emergency at her rental house and asks to use Ryan’s cabin, how can he say no?
Adam Nelson comes to Caldwell Crossing to finish writing the latest book in his cozy murder mystery series—after the last one was trashed in a viral review. He needs peace and quiet and to be left undisturbed. So why can’t he stay away from the handsome woodworker whose workshop is next door to the gorgeous lakeside cabin he’s staying in?
As Ryan and Adam connect and their friendship shifts into something more, can they decide whether to trust their growing feelings and put their faith into the fate that brought them together?

Benoit Olivier has always played the part—charming, cunning, and impossible to pin down. As one of the Park Avenue Kings, he’s used to being the watcher, the flirt, the wild card. But when the Kings need eyes on a powerful new arms dealer with a dangerous reputation, Benoit steps out of the shadows and into the spotlight—as a performer in Dimitri Stavros’s exclusive world.
Dimitri is lethal, calculating, and entirely unprepared for the distraction Benoit presents. Drawn to the dancer’s allure, he offers him a place at his side, unaware that every flirtation, every glance, is a calculated move in a game Benoit was sent to win.
But the deeper Benoit is pulled into Dimitri’s world of wealth, weapons, and whispered threats, the more dangerous the assignment becomes. Because Dimitri doesn’t forgive betrayal—and if he discovers Benoit’s true purpose, it won’t just be hearts that shatter.
Now, with time running out and his feelings blurring the line between performance and reality, Benoit must make a choice: complete the mission… or protect the man he was never supposed to love.

About 𝑆𝑇𝑈𝐵𝐵𝑂𝑅𝑁 𝑃𝑈𝐶𝐾𝐵𝑂𝑌:
Colby
Once upon a time, playing for the NHL was my dream. Then Radimir Novicov skated circles around me and made it clear I’d never be good enough. He was smart, talented, and worst of all–sexy. Every closeted guy knows that you don’t hit on your teammate, even if his gaze lingers longer than it should.
All it took was one drunken close call before our friendship was in tatters, he was called up to the NHL, and I was sent for further conditioning.
Playing in the NHL was off the table, so coaching became my new dream.
And seventeen years later, I’m finally heading to the big time.
Video coach. Pro level.
The only downside?It’s for Novi’s team.
Novi
Radimir Novicov is not scared of anything. I am one of the best. Future Hall of Famer. There are two years left on my contract and I will end my career on the highest high anyone did see.
Then I will slink into the shadows where no one will hear of me again.
Because while I’m playing professionally, I cannot come out and be myself. Not with my family still in Russia.
The plan has been set since I first moved to America, and I only have two years left to wait. It should be easy to focus on hockey.
Then Colby Kessinger walks back into my life. The teammate with the lopsided smiles and cocky attitude–the one who made my heart want things it can’t have.Now two years feels like a lifetime.

Blurb
Every kiss is a sin.
“Giving into temptation might not just ruin Kenny… It could kill him.”
Aaron has spent his life running from intimacy, but when his professor, Dr Kenneth Lyons, broke through his defences last year, only to push him away, the sting of rejection left an indelible mark. He’s determined to win him back and prove their connection is more than just forbidden heat. But when danger lurks in every touch, and even a single kiss becomes deadly, Aaron might not survive long enough to prove he’s worth the risk.
Kenny knows he shouldn’t want his student. Resisting Aaron has already cost him pieces of himself he can’t recover. Torn between his career and the man who’s stolen his heart, Kenny struggles to keep his distance. But when Aaron becomes the target of a ruthless killer, the fragile lines Kenny drew between them blur. And he’s forced to face the truth. Protecting Aaron could destroy his future… or shatter his soul.
As a series of brutal murders pulls them deeper into a web of danger, Aaron and Kenny are forced to confront the darkest shadows of Aaron’s past and the devastating legacy binding them together.
With their forbidden bond igniting into an all-consuming blaze, they must decide: in a world where trust is a death sentence and love could cost them everything, how far are they willing to go to save each other?
Kiss Me Honey Honey is the gripping second installment in the To Love a Psycho trilogy where passion and peril collide.
Excerpt:
“You’re not gonna kiss me, are you?” The raw, unspoken truth in Aaron’s tone twisted the knife already lodged in Kenny’s chest.
Because those lips, soft and inviting, promising everything and nothing, could shatter him completely. They might as well contain poison far deadlier than anything he’d read about in a pathology report. Because surrendering to Aaron’s meant destruction.
So he forced out his reply, “Not yet.”
Aaron’s eyes were a tempest of defiance, daring and dangerous and locking onto Kenny’s with an intensity refusing to surrender. Then, with a wicked smirk, he wrapped his fingers around Kenny’s wrist like a silken snare and, without a word, without breaking the charged connection in his gaze, he guided Kenny’s thumb into his mouth.
Kenny’s breath hitched.
Aaron’s warm, wet mouth closed around Kenny’s thumb, maddeningly sweet and dangerously seductive. Because he wasn’t crude with it, or rushed with abandon. Aaron was slow. Purposeful. Achingly tender. And his tongue curling around the pad of Kenny’s thumb burned into his memory, because Aaron wasn’t just touching him, or reminding him of their first encounter when Aaron had stretched that beautifully cruel mouth so effortlessly around his cock, but he was branding him. Owning every inch of Kenny’s willpower with every languid suck.
Kenny couldn’t look away and Aaron’s eyes stayed locked on his, bright with intensity, daring him to resist what they both knew he couldn’t. It wasn’t just a tease. It was a confession. A plea. A promise of what could be if either of them dared to take that final, irrevocable step. And when Kenny finally pulled back, sliding his thumb from Aaron’s lips with a soft, obscene pop, Kenny’s cock inflamed, telling him he wanted in that devilishly beautiful mouth. Now. Ever more so when Aaron flicked his tongue over his tip, an unspoken dare haunting the space between them.
Kenny was losing a battle he swore never to fight and Aaron was carving out the pieces of his soul he wouldn’t ever get back. Because Aaron was the only one who could ever fill them.
Falling back on the sofa, Aaron gazed up at him with a devastating mix of triumph and yearning, and Kenny knew then, with bone-deep certainty that when, not if, but when he kissed him again, he’d give permission for Aaron to destroy his entire life.
