Anthony Hunter wonders what the hell he’s gotten himself into when he agrees to manage an unproven candidate’s campaign for governor of California. As soon as he meets the gorgeous, charismatic—and married—politician, attraction gives Anthony’s rock-solid professionalism a run for its money, and Anthony knows he’s in way over his head.

Jesse Cameron doesn’t like the idea of putting himself out there as a happily married, wholesome candidate, but his retired senator uncle insists it’ll give him an edge over a challenging rival. The only problem is that Jesse’s marriage is over, existing only to maintain his heterosexual fa?ade. Oh, and there’s that minor detail about his undeniable attraction to his smoking hot campaign manager. Or the fact that the attraction is very, very mutual.

Before long, temptation explodes into a sizzling, secret relationship, but under the microscope of the media and the relentless scrutiny of the voting public, Anthony and Jesse can only keep their secret for so long. And this is one scandal a campaign won’t survive

Disabled veteran Wyatt Miller is out of options. Six months after his eviction, every day is a struggle just to survive on the streets. Sometimes, the only thing that motivates him to move forward at all is his determination to protect and feed his beloved service dog, Lily.

Then a cold snap drives Wyatt to beg a veterinary clinic to board Lily… and puts him on the radar of someone who can't stomach letting the dog or her owner sleep out in the cold.

On the surface, hockey star Anthony Austin has it all. The fans and cameras see a man with dazzling stats, a fairy tale home, and a red hot sports car. He and his longtime boyfriend are the poster boys for out-and-proud male athletes.

The limelight doesn't see the cracks, though. His boyfriend has quietly moved out, and nothing Anthony says or does will bring him back. Anthony's play is starting to suffer, and he's too miserable to care.

When he sees the man pleading for a warm bed for his dog, Anthony doesn't hesitate to open his home.

All he has in mind is keeping a man and his dog off the street. He has no idea Wyatt is about to upend his world—and his attempts at reconciling with his boyfriend.

Interference is a 140,000+ word slow burn hockey and military romance. Don't worry – there's no cheating!

Theo Mathis doesn't regret defying the general manager during his brief stint on the Seattle Rainiers last season. The rainbow tape on his stick cost him dearly, but he'd do it again in a heartbeat… even though it means he'll never get called up from the minors again while that GM is at the helm.

Then a flood of injuries leaves Seattle desperate for players, and Theo gets called up after all. But he's warned: provoke the GM again, and he will regret it.

Except stick tape wasn't the only line Theo skated over, and the temptation to cross it again has nothing to do with spite.

Equipment manager Christian Hayes has had that hot minor league player living rent-free in his head ever since they hooked up last year. It wasn't love, but it was fun, and he wishes they could do it again because they want to—not as an act of rebellion. If Christian's dad ever finds out, there will be hell to pay. But it's a non-issue, since his dad—the team's GM—has vowed to never call up that player again no matter how bad the team needs him… and he doesn't even know Theo and Christian hooked up.

Now Theo's back in the Rainiers' locker room. They don't dare risk a rematch—they both value their careers too much. All they have to do is ride this out for a few games until Theo's sent back down. Easy enough. Right?

But their mutual attraction refuses to be ignored.

And it looks like Theo's going to be staying a while.

Detective Sawyer Villeray has his hands full. He's got a mercurial partner whose personal life is deteriorating, a semi-estranged family whose drama he can never fully escape… and now a series of murders whose only connection is their sheer weirdness.

A serious crush on the county medical examiner doesn't exactly simplify things, but at least it's fun.

Or, well, it would be if said M.E. didn't adamantly refuse to date cops. Or if his assistant wasn't quite so hostile to anyone who looked his way.

Dr. Bashir Ramin would very much like to catch a break. A date that isn't interrupted by death. A fellow pathologist who isn't a cranky jerk. A forensic assistant who doesn't gnash her teeth any time Bashir is interested in someone. And maybe, if he's lucky, an autopsy that isn't such a baffling puzzle, it leaves him wondering if he's as good at his job as he thought he was.

At this point, the annoying but cute detective is the one good thing in his world. Too bad Bashir doesn't date cops. Right?

But there's no time for romance. As the bizarre murders keep piling up, Sawyer and Bashir need to work together to stop a killer.

Ideally before one of them becomes the next target.
