Restoring the past isn’t always possible, even with the most qualified craftsman at your disposal.

After he was disowned by his family, Pete Braxton worked years to build a life without his family’s fortune. It wasn’t easy, but he learned the importance of a hard day’s work and living within his means.

When his brother dies unexpectedly, Pete is left a multi-million dollar fortune and the family home he grew up in. Refusing to let his newfound wealth change the man he has become, he decides to use it to repair the family home his brother destroyed and calls in a master woodcraftsman.

Dylan Oliver relocated to Kansas City to work on Pete’s family mansion in what should have simply been a six-month project. He never expected to fall in love with the home’s owner. When the job is finished and Pete isn’t satisfied with the outcome, will Dylan be sent packing?

Crazy in love isn’t always a good thing.

Frankie Black lives and works at the Isleta Resort and Casino in Albuquerque. He likes the energy and camaraderie at the hotel, and they don’t mind his eccentric behavior. Frankie’s crazy, and he knows it. He also knows people are willing to pay a lot of money for the paintings he painstakingly creates.

When he notices a handsome hotel guest watching him, Frankie thinks the man’s just another art lover observing the so-called “genius” at work. Unfortunately, the stranger’s dark brown gaze reminds Frankie of all he’s loved and lost, and his hold on reality starts to unravel.

Clint Langley is mesmerized by the funny little man in the bright-colored peasant skirt. Unaware of Frankie’s impressive resume, he takes time out of his boring insurance seminars to spend his days observing Frankie from afar. Eventually, he steps out of his comfort zone and reaches out to the painter, but when he notices changes in Frankie’s behavior, Clint wonders if he’s strong enough to give Frankie the unconditional love it will take to make a relationship work.

For Lucky Gunn, the hardest fight of his life happens outside the cage.

On the south side of Chicago sits an old gym called The Brick Yard.

Ten years ago, on a bitterly cold day, Lucky Gunn wandered into The Brick Yard dressed in a threadbare jacket, looking for refuge. He hadn’t expected the owner, Tony Brick, to welcome him with a job and a place to sleep when Lucky’s abusive and drug addicted mother made it too dangerous to return home.

Dray was a gay man living in a world of straight fighters. When his secret was exposed to the media, he dropped out, giving Lucky a piece of advice, if you want to make it as a MMA fighter, bury the part of yourself that won’t be accepted.

Lucky discovered the cage was the perfect place to keep his demons at bay, but when he learns his trainer and mentor, Brick, is suffering from end-stage cancer, he begins to spiral out of control. After eight years, Dray returns to help Lucky and Brick deal with the devastating news.

With Dray so close, Lucky’s old desires return, and Dray teaches him more than how to fight. Torn between his career and the passion he feels for Dray, Lucky finds that his past demons resurface in full force, threatening his sanity and his budding relationship with Dray.

Despite leaving the cage years earlier, Dray finds himself in the battle of his life with the only man he’s ever loved. Will he stand and fight or walk away like he did years earlier?

Rules are made to be broken. Cowboy rules are made to be shattered.

Although ex-con, Cash Wiley, loves working at the Rocking W, being around Shane Ackerman and Dub Walker is the favorite part of his job. He’d had the chance to be with the two men a few months earlier, but he’d blown it before it could happen. He’d ruined everything because he’d refused to have sex without strings attached.

Stupid didn’t begin to define how he’d felt the following day or every day afterward. Shane took his breath away and Dub was the kind of man Cash had always dreamed of having at his side. It was the rule that stood in his way.

How could he promise to not fall in love when he already had?
