STEALING NORTHE

Widow Amy Northe hasn't known a man's company in the six years since her husband died. That all changes the night her son comes in from chores with two strangers in tow. Kenneth and Leon are seeking shelter, and though Amy wants to turn them away, she can't. There's a blizzard moving through the Utah mountains, and Leon's busted ankle has him teetering on the edge of consciousness. She does the only thing she can and takes them in, unaware of the secrets these young men hide.

Kenneth doesn't want to take advantage of the older woman's hospitality, even though she's the most beautiful woman he's ever seen. But Leon needs help and Amy is a nurse. If he has to satisfy his desire for her with covert trysts with Leon, then that's what he'll do, especially since he's too much of a gentleman to ever think of making advances.

Until she makes one herself. Then everything changes. For all of them.

STEALING WEST

Lean Stroud is wanted for robbery and a murder he didn't commit. On the run to California with his partner-in-crime, Kenneth, he spots the relentless bounty hunter, Thomas Grady, on the train. The only way to protect Kenneth is to create a distraction, and that's what he does when he flees the train at the top of the Sierra Nevada Mountains. He forces Thomas to chase him, but nothing can prepare him for what it means to be caught.

Thomas Grady always gets his man, and Leon Stroud is no exception to that rule. But almost from the moment Thomas touches Leon, he wants the outlaw for something besides his bounty. Driven by desire he doesn't understand, he repeatedly claims Leon's body on the long journey from Soda Springs to San Francisco--and Leon only begs for more. An even bigger threat, with a larger bounty, could be the very thing they need to drive them together. Or tear them apart.

NO FEAR IN LOVE

Weston Scott is happy with his simple, quiet life in a small English village. Yet he is haunted by deeply closeted yearnings, a secret he has shared with only one person. His best friend, Mark. As a constant reminder to guard his own heart, Weston wears an emerald ring on his hand.

Mark Goudy has a secret of his own, one that drove him to live far away in London rather than betray his best friend’s trust: He’s always been in love with Weston. Now he’s back, but not for a friendly visit. Mark’s through denying his emotions.

And if he can manage to slip that ring off Weston’s finger for one night, he’s sure things will change. For both of them.

But her former professor, and current friend, Jack Navis, has a suggestion--marry him and take advantage of the university's tuition remission policy.

Jack is sure he can keep everything between them platonic. Especially since he's a fetishist--he needs to watch people to get off and he doesn't enjoy participating. He's sure of that until he kisses her. And their world is thrown into chaos with new emotions, unexpected needs, and driving hunger.
