Seulement pour lui  (Tucker Springs, #2)

Sometimes it takes a village to fall in love. Eccentric, reclusive, socially awkward project designer Evan Myles doesn't date. Paying for sex with professionals is so much more efficient and suits his needs well enough. But when he's on assignment in rural Logan, Minnesota, for the Christmas Town project and a handsome stranger at the bar catches his attention, Evan decides it's time to break his rule. It doesn't matter that he's never so much as flirted before. It can't be that hard, can it?Davidson Incorporated lead architect Terry Reid hasn't been hit on so clumsily in his life. Terry's the first to admit he's a neurotic Prince Charming, and he's kissed his share of male and female frogs, but he's never met anyone quite like Evan Myles. Evan calls Terry by the wrong name, mistakes Terry for a simple construction worker, and picks apart his work as an architect. Despite this rough start, Terry is lured by the brilliance of Evan's ideas, his quirky personality, and once they're alone in Evan's cabin, the man's mad skills in bed. Yet Terry knows it takes more than a single night of passion to make a relationship work, and after so many failures, he's just not ready to try again. Evan and Terry's path is strewn with stones neither of them can dislodge. Fortunately, they're not alone on the road to romance. They're in Christmas Town, home to matchmakers, meddlers, and more "fairy godfathers" than they could possibly know what to do with. Most importantly, in Logan, Minnesota, happy ever after is guaranteed.

À presque quarante ans, Vincent, dit Vinnie, a toujours peur d'admettre qu'il est peut-être gay, même à lui-même. Un problème majeur : sa grande famille italo-américaine. Mais après trois divorces, il lui est de plus en plus difficile de réprimer ses penchants.
Alors qu'il s'aventure dans un bar du quartier gay de Chicago, là où personne ne le connaît, voilà qu'il tombe sur quelqu'un de son coin !

Pourtant, après une soirée à danser joue contre joue avec Vinnie, Trey décide qu'il est l'homme idéal pour explorer les joies d'une relation romantique sans attaches et sans la pression du sexe. Après tout, il est vierge et compte le rester jusqu'à trouver le « bon ».
Le plan semble parfait... mais, en famille comme en amour, rien n'est jamais simple.

Une famille trop présente

The way to a man's heart is on a sleigh. Arthur Anderson doesn't want anything to do with love and romance, and he certainly doesn't want to play Santa in his mother's library fundraising scheme. He knows full well what she really wants is to hook him up with the town's lanky, prissy librarian. It's clear Gabriel Higgins doesn't want him, either-as a Santa, as a boyfriend, as anyone at all. But when Arthur's efforts to wiggle out of the fundraiser lead to getting to know the man behind the story-time idol, he can't help but be charmed. The least he can do is be neighborly and help Gabriel find a few local friends. As their fiery arguments strike hotter sparks, two men who insist they don't date wind up doing an awful lot of dating. And it looks like the sleigh they both tried not to board could send them jingling all the way to happily ever after.

Sleigh Ride - Minnesota Christmas, #2

Love will grow through the cracks you leave open. Ranch hand Roe Davis absolutely never mixes business with pleasure-until he runs into his boss, Travis Loving, at the only gay bar within two hundred miles. Getting involved with the ranch owner is a bad idea, but Roe's and Travis's bedroom kinks line up against one another like a pair of custom-cut rails. As long as they're both clear this is sex on the side, no relationship, no interfering with the job, they could make it work. Shut out by his family years ago, Roe survived by steadfastly refusing to settle into so much as a post office box. As his affair with Travis grows into more than just sex, Roe's past catches up with him, threatening the thin ray of happiness he's found, reminding him it's well past time he went on his way. But even a loner gets lonely, and at this point, there's nowhere left to run. The shame and sorrow of what he's lost will stay with Roe wherever he goes-until he's ready to let love lead him home. This novel has been previously published and has been revised from its original release.

Nowhere Ranch

Aaron Seavers est une loque finie, et il le sait parfaitement. Il vit dans la terreur de s'attirer les foudres de son père et de décevoir sa mère, et il ne peut pas s'empêcher de changer d'avis en ce qui concerne sa future université... alors que les cours commencent dans quelques semaines à peine. Quand l'un de ses amis le laisse en plan à une misérable fête d'adieux, tout ce qu'il trouve à faire c'est se saouler dans la buanderie et regretter le jour de sa naissance. Jusqu'à ce qu'un de ses camarades de classe, un geek tout mignon, ne lui remonte le moral et le laisse avec deux certitudes : son orientation sexuelle et la fac où il ira.
Giles Mulder a vraiment hâte de se tirer d'Oak Grove et d'aller à l'université, où il a prévu de jouer de son violon et se décider sur ce qu'il veut faire quand il sera grand. Mais quand Aaron se pointe sur le campus, les souvenirs du bizutage dans leur ville natale menacent le coin de paradis qu'il espérait se créer. À mesure que le semestre avance, leur attirance monte crescendo comme un air envoûtant. Mais si leurs parents à l'autorité bien assise ont leur mot à dire, la musique de leur amour pourrait bien s'arrêter sur une fin désastreuse.

Leçon numéro 2

Hot messes have a hard time with happily ever after. Baz Acker and Elijah Prince have it all. They're engaged, and their wedding is guaranteed to be a spectacle no event will ever top. So why are they hunkered down in a quiet corner of the Acker mansion, restless and edgy while they wait out the holidays? When Baz suggests a road trip with Walter and Kelly to Las Vegas, it sounds like an ideal escape, but it turns out Vegas only amplifies their unease. Elijah can't slough off the self-hating his parents programmed into him, and he worries how that will affect his marriage. Baz, crippled en route because of too much time spent in the car without rest, must face the truth that his wealth and influence can't always counteract the limits his disability will put on his-and Elijah's-life. With help from their friends, a wily poker player, a take-no-prisoners drag queen, and a smooth-talking casino owner, they face the truth that happiness is a state of mind, not a destination where they book a stay. What happens in Vegas won't stay in Vegas-it will follow them all the way down the aisle. This novella is a continuation of a story begun in the novel Lonely Hearts in the Love Lessons series and was written at the request of Heidi's Patreon readers.
