After a car accident, Adam wakes up in a hospital room with no

memory and a man named Joe, who acts like his boyfriend. So when

Joe says Adam is straight—and Joe’s not—and they’re just best friends

and roommates, Adam is more than a little confused. But as Adam starts

to fill in the gaps, the one thing that becomes apparent is that Joe is the

missing piece that can’t be replaced.

Sequel to
Inseparable

Nine and a half weeks ago, Joe Massone got the surprise of his

life when his straight best friend and secret crush, Adam, kissed him.

At the time, Adam was recovering from an accident that left him with

temporary amnesia and broken ribs, so Joe isn’t sure if he should take

it seriously. Is Adam really gay? Or was the blow to his head to blame?

Having secretly loved Adam since they were teenagers, Joe doesn’t want

to get his hopes up and have his heart broken.

Despite that first kiss, Joe and Adam are still in limbo—now more

than friends, but not quite lovers. Adam’s injuries have meant they can’t

take their relationship to the next level, and for Joe, not much has changed

from when they were just best friends and roommates. He starts to think

neither of them is ready to take that final step.

Patience stretched to the limit, Adam makes plans to break the

stalemate. But when Joe sabotages things by inviting their friends along,

Adam is left to wonder if their new relationship is over before it’s even

started. Before he gives up, though, he’s determined to prove to Joe he

wants more than just a kiss.

Starting over sucks. At forty, Miles Koprowski thought he had life

all figured out. He had a nice car, a hot young lover, and a cushy job…

and then he didn’t. Call it fate, or karma, or a downturn in the market, but

this opinionated cynic is now forced to play rent-a-cop in a dying office

building in the burbs just to make ends meet. Throw in an unhinged ex,

a coworker who hates him, and a hot new boss, and suddenly everything

is uncertain.

Miles doesn’t plan on liking the night shift or becoming embroiled

in a mystery that reawakens old passions and puts him in danger. And

he certainly doesn’t plan on falling for the overbearing head of security,

Colton Decker, former soldier and doting dad. But nights like these can

change a man, make him start to believe there’s more to life than a high-

paying job and a warm body in his bed. With a thief on the loose and his

new job in jeopardy, Miles will have to decide what’s truly important. He

might discover things he never knew he wanted… as long as he makes

it through the night.

Christmas is a time for peace, love, and goodwill toward mankind.

Not! More like cheating exes and absentee friends. For Emmett Byrd,

spending the holiday season with his old college friend Terry in San

Diego is supposed to be about mending his broken heart. But when Terry

deserts him at the last minute, leaving Emmett alone in his condo for

Christmas, it’s just the icing on the cake of a crappy year full of betrayal

and lost love. The only Christmas spirit this Scrooge is feeling is the

alcoholic kind. Then a slightly kooky, unsophisticated farm boy named

Sky knocks on the door looking for Terry, and a case of mistaken identity

reawakens Emmett’s hope in happily ever after.

Chris Scully lives in Toronto, Canada. She grew up spinning romantic

stories in her head and always dreamed of one day being a writer even

though life had other plans. Her characters have accompanied her through

career turns as a librarian and an IT professional, until finally, to escape

the tedium of a corporate day job, she took a chance and began putting her

daydreams down on paper.

Tired of the same old boy-meets-girl stories, she found a home in M/M

romance and strives to give her characters the happy endings they deserve.

She divides her time between a mundane 9-5 cubicle job and a much more

interesting fantasy life. When she’s not working or writing (which isn’t

often these days), she loves puttering in the garden and traveling. She is an

avid reader and tries to bring pieces of other genres and styles to her stories.

While her head is crammed full of all the things she’d like to try writing,

her focus is always on the characters first. She describes her characters as

authentic, ordinary people—the kind of guy you might meet on the street or

the one who might be your best friend.

Although keeping up with social media is still a struggle given her schedule,

she does love to hear from readers.
