Andrew Cunningham is ticked off. He's taken the fall for his old boss, the mayor of Chicago, and is forced to head to Asheville, North Carolina to avoid the press. He's not in the mood to be nice. Once he meets sexy cabinetmaker Ridge Huntington, though, he unbends enough to get up close and personal.

Drew manages to step on a few toes as he adjusts to life in the south, and Ridge finds himself entertained in more ways than one. Nevertheless, Ridge isn't sure that Mr. Right Now is worth the aggravation. They argue, Drew curses a lot, and Ridge rolls his eyes.

Can an uppity Yankee and a laid-back Southerner meet in the middle?

Death rides a pale horse, and she is a beauty. Since man first buried his dead, she has watched over them. With her hand she raises those select few, those disturbed and maimed, to new life. These risen souls are duty bound to protect the souls still buried and resting. The souls restless and walking.

Sebastien Crowle is such a watchman. But as a villain so profane and perverse enters the scene with a crime the likes of which Sebastien has never seen, can he stop the villain and confront the ghosts of his own past as they begin to rear their heads?

When Toby Archer’s marriage falls apart, he takes up flipping houses to fill some of the void left in his life. The first time that contractor Ven Parrish works for him, Toby notices the fact that Ven is gorgeous, but what really catches Toby’s attention is Ven’s work ethic. Toby isn’t going to pass up the chance to hire Ven again; it’s just good business sense.

The more time they spend together, the harder it is to deny their attraction to each other. Toby is a lawyer with an upper class lifestyle, and Ven is a working man from a family still scraping by. What they have in common, especially a commitment to family, does more to keep them apart than bring them together.

Still, Toby and Ven have sense enough to know when something is worth the work, and neither is afraid to get hot and dirty to get the job done. Can the finished product be a happy ending for everyone?

Renovations 1-3 was originally published as the first Renovations Chaser Series and includes the following three stories:
Renovations 1: Flipping Out
Renovations 2: Playing House

After meeting on the job and falling madly but responsibly, reasonably, and carefully in love, Ven and Toby are committed to each other as lovers and business partners. But they're about to find out that there's more to being a couple than just playing house and fooling around. They experience all the ups and downs of every other pair of lovers, but they have a few
complications that are uniquely theirs.

Toby has two little girls from his first marriage who are still getting used to the idea that Daddy isn't coming back to live with Mama, an over-worked ex-wife, and meddling ex-in-laws. Ven's got his heart set on making an honest man of his lover but he's not quite sure he's ready to play second Daddy. It's going to take more than just hard work to lay the foundation for Toby and Ven's new life. Can they build something that lasts?

Teague Sullivan thought he’d barely survived his childhood, but he’s discovering that was nothing compared to sharing his scars with his lover, Jack, or his heart with their lover, Katy. But Jack and Katy are in it for the long haul; they want Teague, scarred body, scarred soul, and all.

But seeing something that painful, that private comes with a price. If Teague is going to show Jack his most painful secrets, he needs to know Jack is going to be around for a while, and that’s something their previous life didn’t always guarantee. Teague can’t function without guarantees, and Jack can’t function without Teague, and Katy can’t believe the two men she loves can exist in peace while making each other crazy. Something’s got to give, and someone’s got to change, and changing is never easy.
