About this listen
Mr. Lavender
Is there anything better than a man in a well-cut suit? There isn’t, and Mr. Lavender is the best there’s ever been. He wears a suit like it’s skin and is impossible to kill. Many people have tried. He can shoot the eye out a needle and kill his way out of anything. He’s impervious to danger and unstoppable, but he’s got one very big weakness: Sage Bradley. Lavender’s willing to risk it all for love but can the world’s greatest assassin be reformed?
Sage Bradley
Let’s be honest for a moment. He’s beautiful, and his body makes people weak, but he’s got terrible luck when it comes to men. He’s on a mission to save LGBTQ teens, comfort the elderly, and help communities in Africa because his heart’s as beautiful as his face.
It’s that beautiful heart that keeps getting him in trouble, and a date with an elegant, enigmatic stranger leads to a wild night of passion and a thrilling mystery that could cost him his heart and his life. Can Sage heal and domesticate a lunatic assassin? Can Mr. Lavender save Sage and claim his heart before it's too late?

Story
It is utter madness for a valet to fall in love with one’s boss. But when that boss is Ignatius Corbridge–my handsome, secretly lonely, utterly wonderful Iggy–one really can’t help it. For decades, I’ve stood by his side, fulfilling my role as his right-hand man, his mentor, his friend. I’ve pressed his suits, arranged his travel, and witnessed a thousand walks of shame as he scratched itch after itch with elite playboys around the globe. Each day, it killed me just a little bit more. So I did what needed to be done for both of us: I quit.

Story
Caspian, fourth son and yet still a Crown Prince of Gunkermal, knew he was a party to a marriage contract. Arranged marriages were common in his family, and he expected the contract would cement various trade or security agreements with another country. He just didn't realize the other party to his contract was a full-grown man, who stepped off his ship--and into Caspian's life--as if he owned it.

Victor Bayne, the psychic half a PsyCop team, is a gay medium who's more concerned with flying under the radar than in making waves. He hooks up with handsome Jacob Marks, a non-psychic (or "Stiff") from an adjacent precinct at his ex-partner's retirement party, and it seems like his dubious luck has taken a turn for the better. But then a serial killer surfaces who can change his appearance to match any witness' idea of the world's hottest guy.

Kip O’Connor lives a simple life in the little seaside town of Pearl Bay. Unless it’s tourist season, things tend to be pretty peaceful. There is, however, one never-ending source of irritation in the form of Police Chief Merrick Dawson. Merrick is Kip’s older brother’s BFF, and nothing seems to bring Merrick more joy than nagging Kip about silly things. You’d think a police chief would have more important things to do than lecture Kip on parking tickets and picking up pet waste, but somehow Merrick always finds the time.

Story
I left my family and tiny Texas hometown 15 years ago to escape small-town gossips and to give my mom and sister the chance at a better life. But when a phone call from an attorney back home informs me that my sister passed away, leaving me custody of her newborn baby, I'm shocked out of the steady life I've built for myself running a tattoo shop in San Francisco. The thing is: I don't do babies. And I don't do small towns. Or commitment. And I especially don't do family.
