A Case for Forever

In 2073, the world fractured into isolated enclaves after the collapse of centralized governments. When Makayla Odin returns from grueling years of captivity in the southern battlegrounds disguised as a male to survive, she's matured and ready to reclaim her position as leader of the Aurora enclave. But unexpected complications arise when she must share her bedroll with the injured Talon de LaTerre, Raptare's commander, whose brutal devotion to her people is matched by her fierce beauty.

Months later, Talon arrives in Aurora to negotiate a defense alliance. Instead, she discovers that the "fledgling" who caught her attention is Aurora’s new co-commander. Talon doesn't do relationships but can't shake her memories of the woman she knew as Mak. Especially when both Consulting Councils insist Makayla remain at Raptare to conduct extended negotiations with Talon.

In a world where survival depends on strategic alliances, Makayla and Talon must navigate not only complex politics but also the dangerous territory of their hearts.

With an imminent mayoral election, her vindictive ex a candidate, and an arsonist on the loose, Eve Maguire’s profession as chief of police in Paradise Pines is her sole focus. That consummate kiss with an anonymous stranger was just her stirring libido. After her unfaithful ex, she has no desire to repeat her mistakes with a gifted, chemistry-generating flirt.

Shaye Hayden is back after two decades to make peace with her painful past, and cops caused that pain. She can’t stand them. Her assigned office is next to the police chief’s. Worse, Eve Maguire is that enticing Lady Luck stranger she kissed. When Shaye witnesses another arson and needs full-time protection, the only practical solution is to move in with Eve.

They have nothing in common except good reasons for distrust…and a flawless kiss that was obviously a huge mistake plus undeniable, potentially catastrophic chemistry. How are they going to manage living together?

CEO Eleanor Clairice Beauchamp’s rules for business:
#1: Business always comes first
#2: Succeed
#3: Don’t fail
#4: Never fall in love

Clairice “Claire” Beauchamp has spent her adult life escaping poverty and reaching the top of her industry by adhering to her rules. But staying there may prove to be the most difficult challenge yet. Lotus Enterprises’ next big project requires owning an entire city block, and one last property owner refuses to sell. So, Claire goes undercover to scope out the café owner. She expects to discover the source of her resistance and negotiate a deal. She doesn’t expect to be so drawn to her.

Abby Pita is finally her own boss after achieving her dream of owning Sunshine and Sweets Café. She has no interest in the buyout offers, especially not as her attraction to her newest customer, Claire, is growing. Claire seems to feel their connection too, and Abby has hope that there could be a future for them.

When the truth is revealed, will Claire break all her rules, or both their hearts?

The dahlia represents love, devotion, dignity, and beauty in Victorian floriography. Piper’s new boss, Dahlia? One out of four—Dal is beautiful and that’s where the similarities end.

When Piper Fernley, Pipes the unPlugged when writing her popular blog, is knocked down by a frightened dog on her morning run, she doesn’t expect the dog’s owner to land on top of her. Or the attraction she feels for the rude woman who isn’t her type. But that’s nothing compared to the shock of finding out the woman is her new boss. Fortunately, the gig at the job is temporary, but how is she supposed to survive six weeks with a guarded, uptight woman who doesn’t even like her?

Veterinarian Dahlia Noble prefers animals to most people—they aren’t duplicitous. After a difficult childhood and the divorce from hell, Dal’s focus is her daughter and her work. The unpretentious office temp is growing on Dal, but her past, the boss/employee rulebook, and a divorce agreement mean there is no place in her life for Piper.

Sometimes when you stop looking, your heart finds exactly what it needs.

A contemporary lesbian romance that illustrates the power of finding love again and the importance of reaching for your dreams.

Cate Colson has spent more than a decade building her successful law practice. After losing a woman she loved due to her single-minded career dedication, she’s done with serious relationships (aka she’s terrified of failure). Cate’s drawn to the magnetic widow of a former client, but Meg certainly isn’t the one-night-stand type. Besides, she might be straight. There’s no way Cate’s going to risk her heart again, if only The Meg Effect didn't leave her wanting more.

Meg Mullins wants a relationship with Cate, but things are complicated. She dedicated herself to her family after becoming pregnant at twenty, burying her attraction to women and the dream of becoming a professional artist. As Meg the unMuzzled, she writes a popular anonymous blog, processing her true feelings. Now that her kids are adults, she’s ready to come out and move beyond the fallout of her marriage, but change isn't as easy as it seems, and not everyone is happy for Meg. 

Cate and Meg are so good for each other, but a second chance at love means untangling their pasts, learning to trust, and daring to let go of who they thought they were to discover who they’re meant to be together.
