Real Men (Saxx)

She's a best-selling erotica & western romance author, scarred by life. She's sworn off romance. He's an army reserve soldier and a rancher, foreman of the family's spread. Tabby Grey was still shocked out of her mind she'd become a top-selling erotica author, overnight. Take that, you jerk of an ex-fiancé. But she's sworn off men. And sex, despite her hot-as-hell book. Cole Dawson thought it was going to be a short job. Prop cowboy. Hell, he could do that. Anything to take his mind off his dad's surgery and the very real possibility of losing their family's home the BC ranch. Until he met Tabby. And fell. Hard. But when rugged Cole Dawson shows up for Tabby's book-signing tour and doesn't make a move except for being himself reliable, decent and able to deal with all the craziness that happens on tour swiftly and successfully it's game over. She should do something. Anything. Because the tour is over tomorrow and then it's ba-bye. Because she's hiding a secret. One she can't bear for the man she's head over cowboy-boot heels in love with to find out. It would simply do her in. Because if he knew what would he think of her? *Reader Note: A Real Man is a short novella. ~~~The Real Men Series. Compelling heroes, determined heroines - the men and women of Jack's Bay.

They never thought they'd meet again. And definitely not on an uninhabited island in the South Pacific. But photographer Abby Haines still has no time for her ex, army reserve soldier Dare Logan. She'd put everything into loving him, made him the family she never had. And when she chose her career - thinking he'd follow - he broke her heart. Hard and fast - but definitely not painlessly. She'd been the light of his life. And he'd been shocked she'd chosen him - with his wrong side of the track upbringing - over her snooty, rich family. But when the bright lights of New York and a money-making career beckoned - she'd left him, as he always knew she would. He'd shut his heart down, thrown himself into making something of himself. But now, they're here. Together. Every moment reminding them of what they once had. But when they're sent on a dangerous photo shoot across the island, obstacles mount. And when a killer hurricane threatens to devastate everything they hold dear, secrets long buried come to light and difficult, heart-rending choices will have to be made...or everything will be lost. ~~~ The Real Men Series Compelling heroes, determined heroines - the men and women of Jack's Bay.

She's city. The more designer, the better. He's a closed-off butcher in a small northern Canadian town. Emily Gates is hip. If a bag's got more than three zeros in its price tag, she's in. Cream is her favorite color. And her new role as junior city planner in the city of Toronto has her excited beyond all reason. For the gal with the troubled past, something she carefully keeps a secret - it's all about building community now. Even though she loves working and living in the upscale, trendy area just east of Bloor and Yonge. Rufus Richardson isn't fancy and his job is dirty. And he's always trying to slay the damn dragons, even when no one wants him to. He should settle for a local gal, one who's used to country and mosquitos and wild animals poking around. Instead, the moment he sees the vivacious city beauty, his heart tumbles, and his warrior's sword appears. But she doesn't need him to slay any dragons, and tells him so. But when the life she's carefully curated falls apart suddenly and she goes off into the dark northern night alone searching for the meaning that's always eluded her, they find themselves thrown together, the night before Christmas Eve.

Snowy Slopes. Faithful Dogs. Unexpected Intrigue. Golden Boy Ski Patroller meets Plain Jane Geek, anti-skiing heroine. Military reservist Sven Golden works as a first responder for the Canadian Ski Patrol, saving lives and training avalanche dogs in stunning British Columbia on Canada's West Coast. But after the woman he thought he'd marry does indeed get married-only to someone else-and he's forced to take the harrowing new management job at Snowy Peaks Chalet, things go downhill fast. And when he's asked to head the resort's new Valentine's Day Extravaganza instead of working on the slopes, protecting people, he's had enough. But when he meets organizational whiz Keara Linn, a Torontonian desperate for the 2-week temporary job as his assistant, things just don't add up. Very plain, somewhat overweight, yet smart and focused, she's hiding secrets. But the passion and heart she's buried deep inside finally explodes his world. Now nothing is going to shut that down-or his feelings. Not even a crazed madman who is determined to bring revenge on Keara and her guardian dog, the one she loves with all her heart. And when it's time? The whole quirky Terrence Point community will have something to say...about everything.
