A brawny lineman, a ginger English teacher, and a horny pup. What could go wrong? Mike Albert hates moving. Absolutely hates it. But there he was, standing in the driveway of his brand-new home, exhausted, exasperated, and—thanks to his hyperactive Jack Russell, Homer—already causing a scene. Then he sees him. Eliot. All broad shoulders and thick, his chest coated in sweat and debris, his voice like honey over gravel, wielding an ax like it’s an extension of his own body... moreA brawny lineman, a ginger English teacher, and a horny pup. What could go wrong? Mike Albert hates moving. Absolutely hates it. But there he was, standing in the driveway of his brand-new home, exhausted, exasperated, and—thanks to his hyperactive Jack Russell, Homer—already causing a scene. Then he sees him. Eliot. All broad shoulders and thick, his chest coated in sweat and debris, his voice like honey over gravel, wielding an ax like it’s an extension of his own body. It's too bad Mike’s introduction involved his dog aggressively humping the man’s leg. Like serious, puppy making humping. Eliot, a no-nonsense power lineman, was used to storms—both the electrical kind and the messes people make of their lives. He didn’t expect the nervous, fast-talking new guy next door to turn his world upside down. But with Mike's awkward charm, penchant for disasters, and a dimple that should be illegal, Eliot found himself intrigued. What started as a neighborly friendship quickly turned into something more—something warm, electric, and undeniable. But Mike had a history of playing it safe, and Eliot spent years keeping people at arm’s length. Could a jittery schoolteacher and a grounded, gruff lineman find common ground? Or would their connection short-circuit before they got a chance to light up the night? Fans of witty banter, steamy slow burns, and adorable meet disasters will fall head over heels for The Lineman, the third book in the hilarious Heartstrings of Honor series, each story of which features men who serve those around them. These books may be read as standalones, but characters recur, making them even better when read in series order. less

Mateo Ricci is a fiery Italian high school coach with a mouth that never stops, a best friend who won’t shut up, and a television still balanced on a cardboard box.

Shane is better with wood than words... moreHe bought a sideboard. He wasn’t ready for the lumberjack who came with it. Mateo Ricci is a fiery Italian high school coach with a mouth that never stops, a best friend who won’t shut up, and a television still balanced on a cardboard box. When he finally decides to buy a piece of actual furniture like a functioning adult, he doesn’t expect the gruff, brooding carpenter who built it to short-circuit his brain. Shane is better with wood than words. He's quiet, rugged, and about as emotionally expressive as a bookshelf. He prefers sawdust and solitude over flirting and feelings. The last thing he needs is a fast-talking coach with killer eyes and zero chill showing up in his workshop and looking way too good while doing it. But it's no big deal. It's just a delivery, right? The problem? Neither of them can stop thinking about the other—and Mateo’s friends absolutely will not let it go. What follows is a riotous slow-burn of awkward texts, chaotic brunches, inappropriate nicknames (Flannel Daddy, anyone? ), and enough sexual tension to sand a hardwood floor. If you love sharp banter, soft-hearted tough guys, and falling hard when you least expect it, Coach will bench your heart and steal the game. less

But when you're falling for a single dad, nothing goes according to plan. Between babysitter emergencies, adoption paperwork, and a dog that treats you like a chew toy, Jeremiah has to figure out if he's ready for the beautiful chaos of instant family life. Perfect for fans of TJ Klune and Eli Easton who believe the best families are the ones you choose—even if they come with a five-year-old obsessed with pasta accessories. less
