Travis has valid reasons to appreciate his time away from Haven Grove, but the catalyst for leaving home never really sat well with him. He’s well aware returning to take over the family business won’t fix the past, but he’s ready to settle down and enjoy the simple life. Even if that means living a dream without his best friend.

Joey spent a decade under the thumb of his controlling father. The longtime lure of returning to Haven Grove finally pulled him away from his hateful father and a soul-numbing career. His grandmother’s request that he come back home and take over the family business came at exactly the right time.

Travis and Joey return to Haven Grove with high hopes and big plans. As fate would have it, their plans to keep the family businesses afloat get mixed up with long-ago dreams and childhood wishes. If both men are willing to work through their past, they might just have a future.

Tent Poles & Tackle Boxes is a steamy MM romance. Expect a meet-ugly between friends who return to their small-town home to find a second chance at love, along with some slithery reasons to share a bed, and a cat with many opinions.

My best friend’s having a rough time with her nightmare coworker, Matt. I can’t stand the guy—and I’ve never even met him. So when a ridiculously attractive stranger walks into our favorite coffee shop, it’s a welcome distraction. There’s an instant spark—heat, interest, the whole deal. Then I hear his order: one dark roast with two extra shots of espresso… and my bestie’s signature, impossible-to-miss latte.

And the name on his cup? Matt.

I just humiliated a total stranger.

Jae has really been through the relationship wringer this year, and he’s done. Done with dating, done chasing after fate, and done sulking about it. The plan is simple. He’s going to go on a F*ck Fate bar crawl with his best friend and get his mojo back. They’re going to drink all ten specialty drinks that come with the bar crawl and maybe chat up some hot shifters. Nowhere in that plan was he supposed to run, face-first, into a gorgeous shifter who smells like mountain air and promise.

Koda should have known better than to go to their favorite bar on Valentine’s Day. They, or more accurately, their alpha Kodiak bear, just really wanted some fish and chips.

All they have to do is avoid the grossly entangled couples and bar crawlers swarming all over the bar. They almost make it. There’s just one more person in line in front of them when a small omega barrels into them and turns their world upside down.
