Durango Street Theatre

IT'S ALL ABOUT THE MONEY, HONEY Maggie Gutierrez's job is to keep the Durango Street Theatre afloat financially. In other words, she spends her days sticking her hand in people's pockets in the hopes of pulling out cash. Well, euphemistically. The Harrington Foundation grant would go a long way to ensuring the theater's continued survival, but the administrator of the grant is the guy she used to crush on in a big way, and the last time they saw each other…let's say things didn't go so well. As in, he blames her for his father's death. Soooo…what's a girl to do? Anything she can to get that grant, including spending time with him, which takes them down a road that might just lead to a forever neither envisioned.

SUCH A GREAT ACTOR Everything in Wade Baxter's life is controlled and compartmentalized. To the world he's a laid-back, handsome, urban cowboy who's good at his job, is adored by his friends and family, and is the star of his city's community theater. But inside, a hideous dark lurks in the shadows of his psyche, and he cannot, will not let that ugliness show. When he meets Owen Aldrete, a man who's scars are visible – a former bomb squad cop who took a blast to the face - Wade is forced to confront his demons or he will lose the man he's fallen in love with, and he'll never get a lifetime to show Owen he's the most beautiful person Wade has ever known.
