From all outward appearances, he's the guy who has everything—looks, personality and money. But the modeling gigs are drying up and he still hasn't found that special someone to call his own. The part-time work at Kiss of Leather is quickly becoming full-time to prevent the drain on his dream-business savings. Elliot fell for the stunning Tai from almost the moment he met him. If he wasn't so self-conscious about the weight he's recently put on, maybe he could work up the nerve to make a move. However, not only is he a virgin who's never done a scene before working in a BDSM club, but he's also sure that Tai has a thing for Master Lucas. There's no way he could ever compete with the handsome silver fox. When Master Lucas confesses to Tai that he doesn't only see him as a hookup and offers him a contract, there are a ton of considerations. They both realize that serious compromises would have to be made for them to have a relationship. But what if they found a third, a sub who could bottom for Tai and also do TPE with Master Lucas? Once the idea takes hold, Tai knows just the perfect boy for them both. Even better? He's right there at Kiss of Leather, and Tai can't wait for Elliot to turn them all into a throuple.

For fans of B. K. Borison and Sarah Adams comes a cheeky, small-town romantic comedy about finding yourself in the weeds... only to find love, too. It took exactly twenty-four hours for Atlanta publicist Emma Walters's life to go from near-perfect to a monumental disaster. One day to break up with her boyfriend, get fired and inherit a farm. All that's left is for her to take the still-smoking remains of her dignity and flee to her new farm in Green Acres, Georgia. However, Emma's new country life is anything but peaceful. The quirky locals seem to inexplicably dislike her, and farming proves way messier than she expected. Adding to her frustration is Dan Pednekar, the farm's infuriatingly handsome manager, who doubts her ability to handle even the simplest tasks. Emma soon discovers that the farm isn't exactly what it seems. It doesn't sell anything, making her wonder if it's just a glorified petting zoo or if Dan is hiding something much bigger. With suspiciously named shops like Four and Twenty Blackbirds lining Main Street, it's clear that the whole town might be in on a secret. But when the farm—and the livelihood of the townsfolk—is threatened, Emma must come up with a plan to save it. Because when you farm around, it's just a matter of time before everyone finds out.'A fun, fresh take on the fish out of water trope that will have you laughing out loud!

Pippa Mason is ready for a fresh start. She has bought Pumpkin Cottage in the picturesque Wye Valley village of Riverdean, where her late mother grew up, and plans to renovate a run-down bed and breakfast. Despite the complications of the project and a very surly builder, Pippa is settling into village life and starting to fall for the charms of local, outdoorsy Jake when problems start coming thick and fast... Jenny Foster has plenty on her plate. It's busy enough running Riverside Lodge but now her husband Phil has been diagnosed with early-onset dementia. With doubts about how long she will be able to keep running the business, Jenny didn't need the threat of another B&B on her doorstep and the newcomer worming her way into the community. When the spat between the rival businesses escalates and an autumn storm brings matters to a head, Pippa and Jenny will have to see if Riverdean is big enough for the both of them.
