Sometimes you have to make deals with the devil to save the people you love.

Cory is changing my life. My quirky boy. So opposite of me in every way. Sweet and vulnerable, he’s willing to wear his heart on his sleeve. He’s willing to accept who I am—what I am—so I won’t fail him.

Now his worries are mine. His found family is mine. Mine to shelter. Mine to protect.

To do that, I’ll make another deal with the devil. One that will draw me out of the shadows to align me with a crime Family. They’ll give me the soldiers and resources to give my Cory answers, and hopefully, get his remaining family member back.

I’m playing a dangerous game. One I’m determined to win. No matter the cost. Because I’ll do anything for my boy. Anything to keep him by my side.

There’s no place like home for the holidays…

Especially if you hate them and want to pretend they don’t exist.

When the older man moves in next door with his two loud children and irritating pets, I ignore them. I don’t want my life to change.

Except it does. Between him and his kids, someone’s always knocking on my door needing something.

Or wanting to share delicious baked goods or a meal. I don’t need nice neighbors. I don’t want people in my space—especially ones with small, dirty fingers and a million questions.

But there’s something about his smile. The twinkle in his eyes and his merry laugh when it comes to all things festive…

He’s making me wish and dream and hope for holiday magic and mistletoe kisses. He’s making me believe in family.

Sometimes you have to make deals with the devil to save the people you love.

I belong in the shadows. My profession demands it.

It's a risk going to Takoda, where the new Buccelli Boss knows my face, but I've gone too long without checking in on a situation that concerns me.

I knew better.

Now a debt's been called in, and there's Corey. Muscular, gorgeous, broken Corey. A boy who thinks he's too old for a Daddy.

I won't leave him alone…I can't.

Crispin wants a lot of things…

To move out of his brother's house.

To stop working so many jobs.

To climb the tall, dark, and broody photographer who lives upstairs like a tree.

When Archer sees the sexy young yoga instructor, he is intrigued. As a businessman, Archer understands working hard for what you want, and he respects that. But when a photograph taken at the Windsor leads to Crispin putting himself in danger, Archer steps in.

Crispin may want a lot of things, but Archer knows what he needs…a Daddy to help lighten his load and keep him out of trouble.

Something mysterious is happening at the historic Windsor Place. Join Archer, Bram and Hitch as they search for answers.

Here's the deal, not everyone understands why an almost twenty-eight-year-old man is happy taking care of other people's children, but I am.

Do I love being single? No, but what's a guy to do?

Then I met Kevin Wadsworth. He's everything I've ever wanted in a man. He's older than me, smaller than me, and needs a little bit of care. Did I mention he's also the father of the brightest almost three-year-old little girl I've ever met? Oh yeah, he's the whole package.

So when he sticks up for me, proclaiming to be my boyfriend—fake or not—my heart goes swoon.

Living with this little family as the manny has been my absolute pleasure. Kevin already knows I adore his daughter. Hopefully he'll realize I'm in this for him, too.

I've got the best Daddy ever, and I can prove it to you!

Daddy John's done nothing but protect me and spoil me since day one. Don't believe me? No worries, I'm going to tell you our amaaaazing insta-love story. Can you say swoon?

After ten years together, we're facing challenges we've never had before. His job makes us gobs of money, but he's so unhappy. Well, he totally enjoys helping our friend set up his new handyman business, which is cute, but he can't do that all day. Or can he?

And I haven't told him, but…well, I'm bored at home all day by myself. My friends all have jobs and lives of their own, and I can only redecorate our penthouse so many times. I think I'd like to start a business of my own. Maybe. Ugh. I don't know. Maybe I should ask all my friends from Toby's crew…hmm…

No one's ever loved me like John, and he's still setting my world to rights, just like he's always done. After all, he's my very own Unwavering Daddy.
