The Wishing Tree
It takes an impossible Christmas wish for Bailey to find forever love with his brother’s best friend.
Turning twenty-five and still a virgin, Bailey has barely dated, let alone acted on the private fantasies featuring his brother’s best friend, newly retired hockey star, Kai. All he wants is for Kai to love him, but after a summer when Kai’s anger drove them apart, love doesn’t seem possible at all.
When Kai goes home to Wishing Tree, he knows he owes everyone an apology, not least of all to the man he loves. He’s convinced he can be the man Bailey deserves, and he needs to show Bailey how much he’s changed.
The only problem? Bailey has secrets he’s scared will drive Kai away, and Kai is running out of time to convince Bailey that falling in love starts with a wish, and can end up in forever.
The Wishing Tree is a standalone small-town Christmas MM romance with perfect snow, twinkling lights, a first real kiss, a shy virgin with a silken kink, a retired hockey player, and all the Christmas feels.

Waiting for Christmas
It started as toddlers covered in glitter and became years of friendship. The story of Cody and Regen, and how the best things in life are worth waiting for.
Cody first met Regen when they were three and covered in glitter after a Christmas decoration project went disastrously wrong. After bonding over the taste of glue, and eating all the chocolate on the tree, the two became best friends. Living in a small Canadian town outside of Calgary, they grew up together, went to the same school, played on the Chipmunks peewee hockey team, and shared a passion for both the Calgary Cobras and chocolate. While Cody stayed at home, went to a local college, and became a teacher, Regen was on a very different path.
Regen and Cody. Their names had become inseparable over the years, just as they had. Through good times and bad, the two boys were thick as thieves and close as brothers. When the boys became men, life tried its best to pry them apart, sending Regen to LA to play professional hockey while Cody remained in Canada and pursued his dream of becoming a teacher. Even with thousands of miles between them, Regen and Cody remained best friends.
Cody is in love with his best friend, and Regen is in love with hockey, and it seems that it will take the magic of Christmas to bring the waiting to an end.

Killing two birds with one stone, he can cheer up Gideon and possibly steal a kiss under the mistletoe. After all, he’s been hiding his attraction to the man for years, and maybe with some Christmas magic, he can help Gideon see what is right under his nose.

Il Natale Del Texas
Perseguitato da un passato che non sembra intenzionato a lasciarlo, Liam trova finalmente un porto sicuro al Double D. Lavorando con i cavalli di Jack, sotto la guida sicura di Robbie, Liam cerca di sfuggire a ricordi talmente dolorosi da lasciare il segno... ma quando Marcus piomba nella sua vita, tutto sembra ribaltarsi, e Liam scopre che la strada verso la felicità passa anche attraverso l’imprevedibile.
Intanto, la famiglia di Jack e Riley si allarga: tra crisi adolescenziali, pannolini, tate e gli sforzi della coppia per adottare il piccolo Max, si dimostra più unita che mai, mentre l’amore tra il cowboy e il petroliere diventa ogni giorno sempre più profondo, nonostante le difficoltà.
Recensione Il Natale del Texas
R.J. Scott ci riporta in Texas dai personaggi che abbiamo imparato a conoscere e amare, le festività si avvicinano e insieme a loro sopraggiungono anche alcuni ostacoli da superare, ma l’amicizia e l’amore possono fare miracoli e donare un sereno Natale a tutti.
Quando leggo di Jack e Riley mi si scalda sempre il cuore: la loro armonia, la costante fiducia reciproca e la complicità che traspare da ogni gesto sono tutto quello che vorremmo leggere in ogni storia d’amore degna di questo nome.
Come sempre molto sexy e frequenti sono le scene hot.

Promise
A cop bound by the law. An ex-con shackled by his past. One stolen kiss that changes everything.
Leo Byrne has never questioned his place in the world—adopted into the sprawling Byrnes family, surrounded by love, and dedicated to his job as a cop. Romance has never been on his radar, but watching his best friends build new families sparks a quiet longing for something more. When he shares a kiss with Jason Banks at an event honoring the former convict’s heroism, it should mean nothing. But when Jason and his daughter have nowhere left to turn, Leo steps in to help, knowing full well that taking them into his home is a risk. Falling for the guarded ex-con? That’s a danger Leo never saw coming.
Jason made a deal to protect his daughter and paid for it with years behind bars. Fighting wildfires as a convict volunteer gave him purpose, but now that he’s free, he has nothing—no home, no job, and no way to shield Daisy from the man who still sees her as leverage. The only safe place left is in the arms of the cop, who shouldn’t want anything to do with him. But Jason knows the truth has a way of destroying everything in its path, and if Leo discovers the secrets he’s still keeping, Jason might lose the only chance he has at love—and the only family he’s ever wanted.
