A no-nonsense IRS agent sent to investigate a family business for tax fraud finds it difficult to do her job when the suspect is so frustratingly adorable. ~~~A 2021 WATTY AWARD WINNER!~~~ ***** Summer Hong is good at her job. As a field agent for the IRS's criminal investigation division, she knows never to let things get personal. Her resolve is tested, however, when she meets the beguiling Holly Layton. Holly loves Christmas, and loves the Layton Christmas Tree Farm even more. If only her father would take her seriously and let her play a bigger role in the company. Dealing with an IRS agent breathing down their necks isn't what she had in mind, though. Still, if she succeeds in somehow making the problem go away, maybe she'll finally get the recognition she deserves. But how do you get rid of a "problem" you secretly have a crush on?

Toby Wentworth's life is a clusterfuck. For a lot of reasons. And one of them just happens to be the fact that he is very gay, and also so far in the closet that he's practically in Narnia. But then there's this guy. This guy in his calculus class who winks at him. And suddenly, they're partners for a project. And Toby cannot stop thinking about him. Toby does his best to balance school, work, relationships, and the biggest secret he's ever kept as life goes on. He does, honestly. He tries so very hard. But things like drama, bizarre coincidences, and, of course, his crippling tendency to overthink have been making it difficult, and it's really not fair. But Toby just cannot stop thinking about that boy. And there are times when he wants to hate himself because of it. Sometimes, Toby's life sucks. He'll admit it. But as aggravating as the feeling of being just out of reach of a romance he desperately craves is, there's something... thrilling about it. Something that, no matter how many times he tries, cannot get him to stop this madness. He's in trouble. Absolutely. But maybe trouble can have its benefits. *** cover art by me!

The opportunity to study at one of the most elite high schools in the world brings them both to the vibrant, dream-chasing city of New York. When fate steps in and the two boys meet in the small, charming coffee house Koon Chai Cafe, the sparks between these polar opposites are undeniable. To stay humble and grounded as he attends one of the most elite schools in the world, Kopter must work his afternoons in one of his family's coffee shops. Working there he meets Park, a classmate and Kopter's opposite. Park works there only to support himself and his scholarship. Tall, athletic, and outgoing, Kopter makes friends everywhere he goes. Cold, reclusive, and an outcast at school, Park takes an immediate dislike to him. So why do sparks keep flying between these diametrically opposed boys?

It's been a year since Clay, otherwise known as Porkchop, planned the graduation event in Newport Beach. The event where a handsome Tyler Hamilton caught Clay off guard by kissing him. Clay, up until that day, had never kissed a boy before. At 24 years old, Clay finally has come to terms with his sexuality: he's bisexual and he's ready for love. He doesn't want a fling, he doesn't want a meaningless relationship, he wants love that is going to last. Tyler Hamilton is a year out of high school (thank god). He's spent the year at UCLA studying shit he doesn't care about and playing basketball with a team that doesn't respect him and the fact that he's openly gay. Tyler, to say the least, has had a rough year. And he's ready to change things when he makes the move to Georgia during the summer to get a change of scenery. When Tyler and Clay cross paths, they inevitably remember one another. But it's not as easy as it should be to jump into a relationship together for multiple reasons: 1. Clay knows what he wants and Tyler doesn't know if he can give it to him. 2. Tyler isn't sure Clay is the only option out there for him... ••• *A spin-off of My Jeep Girl and Better Than You characters* (don't need to read the other books to understand, but it's recommended! xo)

Mel Snider is the girl everyone stares at as she walks down the hall. Due to her best friend being the most popular boy in school, she's used to her fair share of malicious glares and gossip surrounding her. The only reason she doesn't let it bother her is because she knows that she'll have to endure it all once she's a famous drummer in a famous rock band. Having been searching for a band for years, she still continues to practice every day. With drumming being her life, she doesn't allow time for anything except schoolwork, her two best friends, and her sister. However, being the only person in school who isn't afraid of the violent bad boy, Devon Quid, she'd been forced to bring him his schoolwork after he refused to come back to school after his suspension ended. With Mel continuously bumping into Devon (as well as finding reasons to go see him), she begins to let him into her life. But letting him into her life means making the time to be with him. After always placing drumming at the top of her list, she wonders if she should continue to focus solely on her drumming, or if it's worth it in the end to balance her time to be with someone special.
