CarverI drove across the continent to escape memories of death, accusations, and a crashed career. I took refuge in the small town of Mission City, British Columbia. I'm content here with my good job and two rescue dogs, until the day I bump into an old friend. Styx is an echo of the tragedy I'm...

Noah. I need a fresh start, and Foggy Basin, California, is the perfect place to begin my new life. The accepting small town is such a contrast to the large town I came from. Making a success of my dog-training business—Tricks, Tips, and Backflips—is important to me, and I totally lucked out when my straight best friend, Christian, decided to move with me. He makes my life easier. I just hope he'll be as happy here as I am. Christian. Following my best friend to Foggy Basin was a no-brainer. I’ve been in love with him since we were five years old.

Shock and grief at the loss of our bandmate has driven Baxter and me from our home in Toronto all the way across the nation. I want to find some perspective on the shores of the Pacific, but our ancient van dies in a hick town, one hundred miles from my goal. There, Baxter ditches me like I'm worthless, and vanishes. I have no money, no home, no friends, and I'm stranded in Mission City. So of course, I decide a hookup with a hot stranger in a dark motel room will take my mind off my pain.

Ulysses MacDonald left my bed after earth-shattering sex, but he certainly hasn’t left my mind. When he turns up as the Mission City Gazette's new editor, I'm intrigued. Then he starts poking around my fire hall, sneaking and spying. He won't tell me what he's doing there, and he keeps dodging my attempts to get close. I don't trust him, but Ulysses is hot as hell, and I hate realizing I still want him.

Six years ago, the guy I thought I loved told all my friends that I liked to wear paws and a tail and crawl on the floor being a puppy. He turned my private play into a cruel joke, and I ran. Left my friends, my family, home, job, as well as my puppy-play group, and tried to let distance and time heal those wounds. Now, I've been given the chance to serve as the director of the new Mission City Pride Camp for teens. But my fresh start turns sour when someone starts leaving dog treats on my desk. Can I stand up to bullying this time and show these kids they have a right to be themselves?

I'm not the kind of guy who lusts after strangers, but the man pulling up next to me on his bike is muscular and hot as hell. I let myself look, and he gives me a scorching grin in return. Then the light turns green, he peels away, and I figure I'll never see him again. Except he almost gets hit by a minivan, and I stop to make sure he's okay. Inviting him back to my place to make sure he has no lasting damage is just professional care, but damn, Ulysses can kiss. Pretty soon, we're burning up the sheets together. Sadly, when I wake up, I find myself alone.

I’ve returned home from the war in France one-armed and defeated. While I was fighting at Waterloo, my father, brother, and sister-in-law all died, leaving me alone to raise my baby niece. I'm a broken man, and this new battle feels impossible to win. Only the assistance of my valet Percy, who refuses to leave my employ, offers me any hope.

SorenMy life is super simple—there’s my labrador retriever Tibby, my job as a cybersecurity expert, and my cabin on the edge of a beautiful lake in Foggy Basin. I have virtual coworkers who are kind, I have real-life friends who are generous, and I belong to a thriving and accepting LGBTQ...

SamI'm anticipating the best Christmas ever—my husband, our dog and two rescue cats, and my niece Quinta and her fiancé will all be with us. It's the perfect family dinner I've wanted all my life. Then an unexpected guest turns my perfect Christmas into chaos. I'd be frustrated, even angry...

After the best one-night stand ever, I discover the man I thought was perfect is anything but. Leo Rodgers is an arrogant surgeon who lords his expertise and experience over everyone. Well, not me. I’m a competent nurse who refuses to be pushed around. By anyone. So I flirt with him to annoy him, but there are more fish in the sea than Leo. I have no problem getting a date with a man or a woman when I want one. The problem? I find myself increasingly hung up on a cranky surgeon, whose soft moments with his two children give me hope there's a good man under the arrogance.

Having spent more than twenty years as an emergency medicine physician in war zones around the world, I barely have a home to speak of. A daughter I didn’t know about has died and left a child behind, so I must get to Gaynor Beach, California to claim my granddaughter. Her temporary guardian is the first man to spark my interest in a very long time, but it would be inappropriate for me to have a relationship with this much-younger man.

Christian and I have spent holidays together since we were kids, but now we're married, I need this Christmas to be extra special. Whatever I plan has to show him how much it means to celebrate as husbands. I've no clue how to do that, but we have a great lot of memories together, a house full of very special rescue pets, and I'm willing to be creative. Noah’s Holiday is a 8k short story about best friends in love, their menagerie of pets, a meddling senior citizen, and Foggy Basin —the small town they now call home.

I had the world in the palm of my hand until a false accusation sent everything to hell. I’ve spent the past year struggling to reclaim my life. At fifty-three, though, I honestly feel my best years are behind me. Then I find the courage to attend pup night at Club Kink. I’m not certain what to expect, but that night changes my life.

As the heir, I have always done whatever I please. My conquests are legendary, and my concern for others negligible. When I meet our new servant, though, I discover someone who won’t bow to my whims. I will admit, I’m intrigued.

Christian Pride Day is coming to Foggy Basin! Of course I’ve volunteered! I can’t wait to see the shows and to connect with all my friends in town.

I’m not a fan of Christmas. I’m happy to stay up in my mountain cabin and let the silly season pass me by. But when a friend asks for a favor, I can’t say no. Now I’m stuck in my cabin during a snowstorm, trapped with the most beautiful man I’ve ever met - who can’t wait to get away. He just might break my heart when he goes.
