Fair Trade: Bold Brew Book 7 Apr 6, 2021

by Cate Ashwood

( 156 )

$2.99

After working with the same partner for almost fifteen years, she ditched me for a cushy teaching job. And I thought things couldn’t get worse.

I was wrong.

Because walking into the ambulance station to see my new rookie is none other than the guy I’d picked up in a seedy bar would’ve been bad enough.

Except we hadn’t just hooked up.

Nope.

What we’d done went so far beyond an anonymous one-nighter.

And now I'm not sure what to do with myself, because being with Nick isn’t just against station rules.

It’s against mine.

But I can’t seem to stop, and what’s even more concerning…

I can’t make myself care.

The second-to-last thing Evan Lowry thought he’d be doing after graduation was auditioning to be the newest adult film star for Sonic Street Studios.

For Brandon Court, the shine has worn off regular scenes, but with a contract for a reality-show style shoot at a beach house in Oregon, what should be business-as-usual suddenly becomes a whole lot more. The instant he lays eyes on Evan, Bran can’t decide if he wants him to get lost or get naked.
The chemistry is unexpected, instant, and terrifying. But after spending so long pretending, what would he give up for a shot at the real thing?

Some secrets are too heavy to hold on to forever.

For Ethan, pretending has become second nature. After all, he’s spent the last decade pretending to be straight, pretending to be happy, and pretending he isn’t desperately in love with his best friend. But in a single moment of raw honesty, all those lies come crashing down around him and he’s left wondering what to do next.

When Jase learns his best friend is going through a breakup, his first instinct is to come to Ethan’s rescue, and he knows just the thing to help. The cabin where they spent summers as kids is sitting vacant, and a week there is the perfect remedy to start healing a broken heart.

In the seclusion of the mountains, long-buried fears and emotions take their friendship into unexplored territory that will either bring them closer together… or tear everything apart.

$4.99

I am anti-love.
Too much drama, thankyouverymuch.
All I want is a hot guy to roll around with every once in a while. No muss, no fuss. It’s precisely what I’m looking for when I’m out for a night of dancing and run into the most delectable Trevor Ryan. We’re explosive together. Molten. It’s one of the best nights of my life, and when I wake up the next morning alone, I can’t help the slight twinge of regret that I didn’t at least ask for his number.
But two months later, none other than god-between-the-sheets-Trevor walks into my bakery. And he’s not alone. With entanglements and complications galore, I should forget I ever met him.
But I can’t.
I thought all I wanted was to be free and single, but apparently, my heart has other plans.

Wholehearted (Hope Cove Book 2) Mar 20, 2020

by Cate Ashwood

( 25 )

$4.99

One call changed my life forever.
A regular day turned everything upside down when dispatch sent me to the docks. It was there I found Lucas Hale, barely alive after being beaten and tossed off his fishing boat. The moment I lay eyes on him, I feel it in my bones that he’s mine to protect, so flying in the face of common sense, I offer to help him back to his feet after he’s discharged from the hospital.
Lucas is distant and detached, yet irresistible, and as my investigation continues, I skate dangerously close to crossing a moral line. But stepping over that line would topple my tidy life, and once that boundary is crossed, I will be forced to choose between Lucas and the law.

Evolutionary psychology professor Henry Hathaway is ready to spend his birthday the same way he does every year: a good teeth cleaning followed by dinner with his brother. But when he receives a wrong-number text confirming the details of a date, he does what any considerate person would—he goes to meet them and explain why they've been stood up.

Asher Wescott hadn't expected his blind date to go well, because when do they ever? Henry shows up instead, and things are suddenly looking up. Socially awkward and attached to his routines, Henry is nevertheless one of the most charming and kind men Asher has met in a long time.

Too bad he's not Henry's type.

An accidental date, an impulsive kiss, and a few conflicted feelings later, can Asher get Henry to see the world—and him—in a different light?

Close to Home: A Sawyer's Ferry Novel Jun 11, 2019

by Cate Ashwood

( 96 )

$4.99

Witt:
I excelled at two things: systems engineering and going completely unnoticed.
The engineering took work and determination. The invisibility came naturally. Until one day, the wrong person noticed me. Battered and broken, I fled, escaping to Sawyer’s Ferry and the only friends I’d ever had.
Now, I just needed to figure out what I was going to do next.

Mason:
Life was good.
I had a great job, good friends, and a family who loved me. Even my roommate was decent. At least he was until he let his nudist brother come to visit. The opportunity to house-sit and help an injured friend couldn’t have come at a better time.
All I’d needed was to avoid an awkward situation for a few days, but I got more than I bargained for when my entire uncomplicated life flipped upside down. The last thing I’d been looking for was love, but it wasn’t until Witt that I realized just how much I’d been missing out on.

The Storm Before the Calm Aug 24, 2020

by Cate Ashwood

( 22 )

$4.99

My life is small.

Sheltered.

I’m boxed in by the walls of a very tiny closet and a very close-minded town.

I know that’s the way it will always be.

Until I meet Max.

He’s everything I wish I could be—bold and self-assured, he radiates pure pride in who he is and what he does, and I can’t help but let him breathe life into the idea that there’s more to my existence than doing what’s expected of me.

Max makes me want things I never dared to imagine I could have, but with the summer drawing to a close, time is running out to make a decision.

Do I continue to live within the confines of the familiar?

Or do I step into the spotlight and let the world see who I really am?
