With most of whom they consider ‘family’ already right there within their tight-knit circle, the Phoenix couples begin to look beyond that circle and contemplate those from the past who rejected and hurt them. Deep down, Dane longs for reconciliation with his parents. But will his “lifestyle” and his previous callous goodbye be obstacles his family is incapable of getting past? Abel wonders about his and Savannah’s parents; have they cleaned up their lives and become better people? Or have they sunk deeper and deeper into drugs and alcohol? Are they even still alive? As Gabe begins to question Cole about a family—and a past—that he has kept quiet about for years, Cole remains evasive and obstinate, simply stating that he and his parents are dead to each other. Through Darius, Max learns of the existence of other family members, though Darius warns Max against reaching out to them. Max is forced to wonder what exactly happened between his half-brother and their relatives that would cause Darius to keep his distance and warn Max to do the same. Has enough time passed for healing and forgiveness to begin…or will the walls remain steadfast and unshakable? less

Some are brothers. Some are friends. All are the best. As our couples turn to the special people in their lives who were there for them during the worst of the worst, and extend their honored requests, the Phoenix family begin to make room for a new member who may be holding back the truth of how badly he was abused. Note: This is an M/M romance and should be read by readers 18yo and above only.

Going above and beyond the call of love…is the only way they know. The unconditional love the phoenix couples have found in each other is a blessed gift. Out of sadness, pain, and despair, their family has truly risen from the ashes. But it is difficult to soar on the wings of love, basking in joy, as new friends and new family members are still struggling through their own dark trials... moreGoing above and beyond the call of love…is the only way they know. The unconditional love the phoenix couples have found in each other is a blessed gift. Out of sadness, pain, and despair, their family has truly risen from the ashes. But it is difficult to soar on the wings of love, basking in joy, as new friends and new family members are still struggling through their own dark trials. As is the way of the Phoenix family, they forsake not those who are crying out—sometimes silently—for help and guidance. When they are needed, they will be there. If money is necessary—they have a treasure. If the courts are their battleground—they have the best soldiers. If their family is threatened—they have the cowboy. They are an unstoppable force of love, compassion, and when necessary—fierce and brutal strength. Note: This is an M/M romance and should be read by readers 18yo and above only. less
