It's the one thing on ex-cop Rhys Tellar's mind and he's spent every day of his two-year prison sentence planning how he'll bring down the former lover and partner who sold him out and cost four people their lives. A six-month parole stint working at the CB Bar Ranch in southwestern Montana should be the easiest thing he's ever done. But the last thing he expects is to feel something for two men there. A future. That's what Finn Stewart wants, but to have it he must leave behind the man he wants above all others, his very straight boss and best friend, Callan Bale....

I left him behind because I had no choice.... That's what I keep telling myself, but it doesn't make it any easier to sleep at night...or to drown out the words he kept repeating over and over the day we'd met: I just want to go home. That was eight long years ago and I'd only known him as Billy, a terrified 14-year-old I'd had to leave behind to save someone else. But his name wasn't Billy and he's no longer a frightened kid lost in a world where he was nothing more than a possession.

When we were kids, Xavier Price understood horses, but somehow, he got me too. He'd made me feel like I wasn't just the overdressed, too sensitive 15-year-old geek who loved math and didn't always say the right thing. But all that changed the night he threw my trust back in my face and betrayed my family in the worst kind of way. And while I'm back in Eden to make sure my uncle's horse ranch is operating in the black, the one thing I know I won't have to deal with is the man who'd been on the verge of stealing my heart 10 years ago.

My rules when it comes to my job in personal protection are pretty simple: Protect the client’s life, not their feelings. Don’t put hands on a client unless you’re getting them out of harm’s way. For God’s sake, don’t do something stupid like fall in love. Twenty-four hours after meeting Jude Archer, rules one and two are already out the window.

He promised to never leave me. But when I needed him the most, that was exactly what he did. Wilderness guide Xander Reed has spent fifteen years trying to forget the night he turned to his best friend in his darkest hour, only to find the young man who'd sworn to always have his back was turning his on Xander instead. Two thousand miles and fifteen years of building a new life in the quiet backcountry of the Rocky Mountains should have been enough to put the memory of Bennett Crawford out of his mind.

Look, I left LA for a reason. I’ve had my fill of big Hollywood stars and their even bigger egos. I want something genuine. Something real. And it doesn’t get any realer than being the new sheriff of Aster Valley, Colorado. That is, until entitled Finn Heller appears on the scene, handing me the keys to his convertible like I’m his personal servant. The former child star and wannabe action hero is the hottest thing I’ve ever seen. He’s also a snarky party animal with legions of adoring fans and attitude for days. Or so I thought.

The job at Sunday Orchard was supposed to be temporary. A chance to gain some work experience, to have some fun. I had not expected to be welcomed into a family of gorgeous and weirdly efficient lumberjack-types, or to find purpose in the tiny Vermont town whose claim to fame seemed to be apple-based products and copious amounts of charm. And I most definitely hadn’t expected to fall for Knox Sunday, my grumpy, burly, fifteen-years-older, reluctant roommate, with his infuriating lectures, his hot-as-fire body, his superior attitude - I’ve never been one to put down roots.

I didn’t mean to stow away on the yacht, I swear. My first mistake was going home with the jerk at the bar, but in my defense, Prescott said he owned the Worthington - 90 feet of sleek, yachty perfection - and if I could get the chief mate’s job, I’d have an excuse to stay on board and keep avoiding my family and my future. How was I supposed to know he was the owner’s cheating, gold-digging almost brother-in-law, or that I’d end up stuffed in a closet when the ship left the harbor?

In other words: He’s off limits. Impossible. But a day before the wedding, she calls it off, leaving Jaren with nowhere to go. So what’s a man to do? Well, offer Jaren a place to stay, of course. A shoulder to cry on. A bed to sleep in. And maybe someone to share that bed with?

"Look out for Zach, and don't hit on him." My brother's request sounds easy enough. Keep an eye out for his best friend on campus and keep my hands to myself. Easy. Even if Zach is a quintessential nerd, who I've always thought was cute, I don't have the time to think with my...stick. There's only one stick I should be focused on this year, and that's my hockey stick. My goal once I graduate is to get an NHL contract. The last thing I need is a distraction. On or off the ice. Only, keeping to the rules is harder than I thought it would be.

Story
Welcome to Pine Cove, where true love lives happily ever after! This box set contains all six novels as well as all five companion short stories. Safe Harbor: Robin Coal needs a fake boyfriend for his high school reunion. He asks his housemate: A gorgeous, totally straight ex-Marine. What could go wrong? There’s only one bed, and Dair might not be so straight after all...When Robin’s past threatens their future, only Dair can save him.
Summary
Zane doesn't do relationships and Connor is definitely the kind of guy who does...
Criminal defense attorney Zane Devereaux is on the verge of having everything he's worked his entire life for. He's on track to become his firm's youngest managing partner and he has enough money in the bank to ensure he'll never have to be at the mercy of anyone ever again. He's left his past exactly where it belongs and refuses to look back. And he sure as hell isn't going to risk a repeat of his former mistakes by letting someone as sweet, sexy and endearingly vulnerable as Connor Talbot into his life. His bed maybe, but not his life.
Connor Talbot has no regrets about serving his country, even if it did cost him more then he'd imagined. Two years after an IED took his leg and left him with permanent brain damage, Connor is still struggling to put his life back together, but he's managed to find a makeshift family in Seattle that helps ease the pain of losing his own at a young age. Unfortunately, a string of bad relationships and an abusive ex have taken their toll on Connor and he's given up on finding the lifelong partner he'd always envisioned he'd have. But a chance encounter with a man he has absolutely nothing in common with except for an intense, white-hot chemistry has him thinking that maybe a no strings, physical relationship is exactly what's called for.
What begins as two men meeting each other's needs between the sheets turns into something neither one was prepared for but the wounds of the past run deep and both men will have to decide if a future together will cost them too much or if what they could have together is worth fighting for.
Trigger Warning: This book contains references to abuse that may be disturbing for some readers.

A great finale, to a great series.
What a lovely character Connor is, he is kind and loving and strong,
despite all the hardship that life has thrown his way. He deserves some happiness.
Zane's description has had me swooning big time. He has also overcome some
personal tragedies in his past , which has made him a closed off kind of man.
When Connor and Zane meet it's instant fireworks...
While their chemistry sizzles their personalities clash,
and what an epic ride we are taken on with this brilliant and
emotional story. Just beautiful.

I absolutely loved this series. Sloan Kennedy ended the series perfectly with this last book. Sloane did it again with the different twist in the story. I'm going to miss these characters; and as always Michael Pauley did an awesome job.

Series finale - WOW!!!
The story is filled with what we love from Sloan Kennedy- intricate plot with lots of moving pieces, deep friendships, main characters with hidden depth. Zane and Connor start with a strictly non-emotional, no strings relationship, but by the end of the story they become best friends with deep love for each other. No surprise there- but the true magic of this story is how they get there. This story also holds the series finale epilogue, which is told from a unique point of view bringing a tear to my eyes at how lovely it was. Sad to say goodbye to such a great series, but luckily Kennedy has the fabulous Protectors series started already, and that is just as wonderful! Michael Dean gives a fantastic performance as always- not just ‘reading a book,’ but making it come alive!

Each chracter, has heartbreaking stories. but the sad part it that it happens in real life. but still love that the get a HEA. jagger isin a lot of shootings. Sloane kennedy has f our soon to be five contected stories barriette security series. contected to the finding series which will contect to luca series which is connected to the protector series which inturn connects the wilde series slash marians series by lucy lennox. still amazing but when but confusing when reading because for time line you need to jump around.But i still need to purchase the story because awesome world the only thing that drives me crazy is you really don't go into much detail about the adopted blood kids like leo. plus epi tells about tristan as dom but doesn't mention eli as doms adopted son.

I love this entire series and this book is amazing. Zane and Connor are so hot together but beyond that they have an incredible connection and love. Love watching Zane grow throughout, he is so caring & loving with Connor and it just gets better & better as the story goes on. They are truly meant to be and both are incredibly giving and caring. The narrator is spectacular all throughout and pulled me right in to the story. Love the epilogue!!

Wonderful story!!
This was an amazing audiobook. I loved getting to know Zane and Connor more. They each have such heartbreaking backstories. It was such a joy seeing these two fall in love and become a family.
Narration by Michael Dean was fantastic! Only issue I had was some of the voices changed from the other books but I only noticed cause I’m listening to these back to back. Didn’t detract from my enjoyment though!
