Bottoms Up By Melissa Elizabeth
Over the last fifteen years, ETHAN CARLSON has slowly succumbed to a life of colorless routine. After the death of his father, he hid himself away in books, struggling to find purpose after the paralyzing trauma. Not even winning the lottery had the power to pull him out of his grief.
But when the infamous LUKE SHAW suddenly reappears in their small town after ten years away in the big city, everything changes.

Conflict of Interest By Zarah Detand

Feeding the Grump by Jax Calder
I’m fairly sure that when I’m on my deathbed, I’ll still be cursing Benji Gange’s name.
My neighbor paints his gate purple. His experiments with organic farming drift onto my land. He feeds me casseroles while we argue about everything from water rights to rugby selections. For five years, I’ve told myself he’s the worst thing to happen to farming since foot rot.
Then my orphan lamb escapes, and we end up tangled in a hedge together (don’t ask), spying on something that turns my whole world upside down. Suddenly, I realize that all the vegetables I leave on his doorstep and the casseroles he makes me might not be just neighborly gestures. And maybe the way my pulse races during our arguments isn’t about the disputed thistle paddock at all.
Is it possible that the biggest thorn in my side is exactly what I’ve been missing all along?

The CEO and the Mountain Man By Kelly Fox
Desperation will make a man do crazy things.
Like drag my grieving son from Chicago to a queer-friendly ranch in Colorado.
I just wanted River to find himself again. I didn’t expect Beau, the ranch’s handsome, gentle giant of a youth coordinator, to make me question everything. Or for my son to actually like him.
Besides, we live a thousand miles apart. And my one college experience with a man could best be described as experimental and vaguely disappointing.
But my son is starting to smile again. And so am I.
Here’s hoping I don’t accidentally leave my heart in Colorado.
