When Travis Walker finds himself uninspired about gifts for his family, he realizes what he wants to give them doesn’t come wrapped in a box with a shiny bow on top. This year, with the help of his brothers, Travis is going to pull off a surprise that’ll lay the groundwork for the Walker Christmas tradition going forward.

Grace Lambert is familiar with hard work, long days, and handsome cowboys. She's been working for her family's dude ranch since she was old enough to ride a horse, and she's not afraid to get her hands dirty. What she is afraid of is the heat that's been growing between her and not one but two sexy cowboys who've set their sights on her... and each other.

By definition, a sadist is one who receives sexual gratification from causing pain and degradation to another. That's me, to a T. I only play with those who understand what it means; those who are willing to indulge my devious desires. Any masochist who seeks me out knows that if they trespass, I will gladly shatter them and walk away, leaving them for someone else to put back together. Yet the cowboy and the pretty boy have given themselves to me. They have agreed to play by my rules and there is only one: There are no rules.

Have you ever felt incomplete? As though, happily ever after is a fleeting, unattainable concept? Not that I haven’t had memorable experiences. Because, I have. Plenty of them. It’s more like what’s necessary to check off all the boxes for a successful HEA hasn’t been defined yet. At least not for me. To say my desires - not to mention my expectations - are complicated would be putting it mildly. It’s bad enough I’m in love with my best friend, despite the fact we can’t give each other what we both need: a dominant who can tame our inner submissives.

Travis Walker has been battling dark urges since the day Juliet Prince kidnapped his six-year-old daughter four months ago. Although Kate was returned safely, the woman responsible vanished. When their attempts to find her keep coming up empty, Travis let his need for retribution consume him, and it nearly cost him his relationship with his family. Thanks to help from Gage and Kylie, Travis came back from the brink and passed the case back where it belonged: with the Off the Books Task Force.

He’s suffering in silence.... Teague Carter, one of the four owners of Pier 70 Marina, has spent his life feeling rejected. To the point that he has never allowed himself to get close to anyone.

Although Sierra Sellers is, and will always be, the lifeline between Luke McCoy and Cole Ackerley, everyday life proves to be the true test of the bond the three of them have forged. No one ever said life was going to be rainbows and butterflies after the three of them admitted their love for one another.

Logan and Samantha spent the last year and a half avoiding a very specific desire of which neither of them can quite let go. They aren't interested in a casual fling with a stranger, so they've been holding back. Is it possible the three of them have stumbled upon something that just might be the answer to all of their desires?

He understands Micah on levels even Micah doesn't. Now that he has half of what he needs, he's just biding his time until everything falls into place.

He’s the one who walked away.... Dare Davis, one of the four owners of Pier 70 Marina, has been living the past 15 years of his life not taking risks. He considers himself fearless because he refuses to let anyone close enough to hurt him. He’s had his heart broken before, he’s not looking for it to happen again. He’s the one who let love slip through his fingers.... Noah Pearson, 13-year veteran of the Austin Fire Department, finds himself being roped into a favor by his mischievous stepsister.

The members of the Off the Books Task Force are nearing their one-year anniversary. While they’ve closed several cases, it hasn’t been easy. Despite the fact the governor disbanded the team, they are thriving under Sniper One Security. Now in the private sector, there are new tasks that must be tackled, like bringing on new members.

Secrets emerge where the case is concerned, and many more are brought to light within the team.

He’s a walking contradiction.... Cam Strickland, one of the four owners of Pier 70 Marina, has earned the nickname his friends gave him years ago. Reckless. Sure. By definition.
