Book One-Promises
Jared Thomas has lived his whole life in the small mountain town of
Coda, Colorado. He can't imagine living anywhere else. Unfortunately,
the only other gay man in town is twice his age and used to be his
teacher, so Jared is resigned to spending his life alone.
Until Matt Richards walks into his life, that is. Matt has just been hired by the Coda Police Department, and he and Jared immediately become friends. Matt claims he is straight, but for Jared, having a sexy friend like Matt is way too tempting. Facing Matt’s affair with a local woman, his disapproving family, and harassment from Matt’s co-workers, Jared fears they'll never find a way to be together—if he can even convince Matt to try.

Book Two: A to Z
Zach Mitchell is stuck in a rut. His college boyfriend left him ten years ago, but Zach still lives in the same apartment, drives the same car, and feeds his ex-boyfriend’s ungrateful cat. His Denver business, A to Z Video Rental, is struggling. He has annoying customers, eccentric neighbors, and an un-fulfilling romance with his landlord, Tom.
A combat boot-wearing punk with an attitude, Angelo Green was raised in foster homes and has been on his own since he was sixteen; he has never learned to trust or to love. He doesn’t do relationships, so when Angelo takes a job at A to Z Video, he decides Zach is strictly off-limits.
Despite their differences, Zach and Angelo quickly become friends, and when Zach’s break-up with Tom puts his business on the line, it’s Angelo who comes up with a solution. Together with Jared and Matt, their friends from Coda, Colorado, Zach and Angelo will find a way to save A to Z, but will they be able to save each other too?
Book Three: The Promise & The Letter Z (Sequel to A to Z)
These take place at relatively the same time in the series and are short stories.
When the four decide on a quick trip to Vegas, Angelo thinks he and Jared may be back on the right track. But a chance encounter with Zach’s ex-boyfriend will make Angelo question everything about himself and his relationship with Zach. Matt and Jared have always been there when Zach and Angelo needed help. But when it comes to sorting out their relationship, their friends may do more harm than good.
The Promise can be found on the author's website
Book Four: Strawberries for Dessert
When Jonathan Kechter agrees to a blind date with Cole Fenton, he
expects nothing morethan dinner and a one-night stand… but he gets more
than he bargained for in Cole. Cole is arrogant, flamboyant, and
definitely not Jon’s type. Still, when Cole suggests an arrangement of
getting together for casual sex whenever they’re both in town, Jon
readily agrees.
Their arrangement may be casual, but Jonathan soon learns that when
it comes to Cole Fenton, nothing is easy. Between Cole’s fear of
intimacy and his wandering lifestyle, Jonathan wonders if their
relationship may be doomed from the start—but the more Cole pushes him
away, the more determined Jon is to make it work.
Book Five: Putting Out Fires
Short Story
A very short little story for Valentine’s Day. Available only through Dreamspinner Press.
Book Six: Paris A to Z
Sequel to 'The Letter Z'
Zach Mitchell and his lover Angelo Green are headed to Paris (along with
their Coda friends Matt and Jared) to attend Jon and Cole’s wedding.
Matt will have to face Jared’s former lover, and Angelo will have to
spend an entire week with Zach’s ex-boyfriend. Between Matt’s jealousy
and Angelo’s temper, Zach thinks they’ll be lucky to get through the
week without one of the grooms being punched. But Zach soon realizes he
should worry less about Angelo and more about himself. Facing the
bittersweet memories of his past and his own guilt over breaking Jon’s
heart is harder than expected, but Zach will have to find a way to leave
his past behind if he’s to have any hope of the future he wants with
Angelo.
Author Note: This is more about Zach and Angelo than Jon and Cole.

Jon is close to his father, George, but until Cole, he didn’t have anyone else. Now George is pushing Cole to reconcile with his estranged mother. When the three of them spend Christmas with her in Munich, the results are disastrous. Jon and Cole resolve to stay positive, but no hope exists without a tinge of fear. Jon and Cole can’t help but wonder if their dream of being parents just wasn’t meant to be.
