Book #2 in the Medley series
JENNIFER RUE:
I thought I had my life all mapped out.
But nothing throws a wrench in your plans like finding your fiancé in bed with another woman.
Untangling myself from the damage Darren did is hard, but the more I look back, the more I realize how much control I'd let him have over me.
Now it's time to find out what I want. What I want in life and what I want in love.
And what I want is him.
But David Davis is almost too good to be true. Can I really trust myself with a new guy again?
DAVID DAVIS:
Building a life from scratch takes time.
And that's what I've been doing for the past four years.
I have a great career, suddenly finding myself on a medley team with my best friend, a rookie and an Olympic legend.
I am on my way to becoming a lawyer.
I have great friends and a caring family.
But something is missing.
And it's not until I meet her that I find out exactly what - or who - that is.
But Jennifer Rue is just coming out of an engagement that left her burnt. Will I be able to convince her to trust me?

Noah (5th Street series)
Veronica Cruz has been through hell and back. After disconnecting with the world two years ago to be at the side of her dying mother, she's left alone, unemployed, overweight, and feeling a decade older than her twenty-eight years. When her best friend coaxes her into joining the local gym to ditch her depression and rejuvenate her life, she meets Noah. Assigned to help Veronica lose weight, Noah is everything she expected a young trainer to be-perfectly chiseled, supportive and motivating. Add to that, he's incredibly sexy. He's everything she's ever looked for in a man. What she least expected was for him to fall for her, but he has. There's just one glaring problem: Noah is eight years younger. Noah Quintanilla has his eye on a boxing title-someday. Down for a few months with an injury, his maintenance-boy pay at 5th Street Gym won't cut it. He's finally given the opportunity to train. The catch? His trainee is an out-of-shape woman with a free week pass. Taking on the challenge, Noah stumbles into one of the closest friendships he's ever known, and before he knows it, he's in love. But Veronica's not having it-the age difference is too much. Their platonic relationship means having to watch her date other men-something that would make him crazy. Believing he's the man for her, Noah sets out to prove that age is but an illusion, and there's more to him than just a number.

The Road to Us
A class clown on a motorcycle. A shy librarian with a guarded heart. A slow burn MM romance about love, healing, and belonging. Hudson // Colton rides through life like he's allergic to brakes. Reckless, loud, the kind of beautiful that feels like trouble. I should know better. I've spent years choosing silence over risk, libraries over chaos, certainty over the unknown. But he looks at me like the world isn't something to survive-it's something to live through, messy and fast. Every time he grins, something in me unlearns caution. Maybe I'm finally ready to stop being the safe choice. Colton // Hudson's too careful for his own good, always hiding behind pages and plans while I'm out here chasing wind on two wheels. I never meant to fall for someone who thinks before he breathes, but damn if he doesn't make me want to slow down. He looks at me like I could be something steadier than a storm, and it scares the hell out of me. Because when the road turns rough and old wounds split open, it's not the crash that worries me, it's what happens if he's the one I can't outrun. 📖 Part of the Road to Us Collection The Road to Us Collection is a series of interconnected standalone queer romances about friendship, found family, and falling in love against the odds.
