All of his adult life, J.T. Forgarty has worked to keep his vast, politically active family safe from scandal. When his late cousin’s son Charlie Tate returns to their hometown for the first time in twenty years, J.T. realizes there’s more to life than covering up other people’s mistakes.

J.T. has dealt with his guilt about the accidental death of Charlie’s father by being the “cleaner” for his family, guided by his cousin Dilys. With Charlie back in her sphere of influence, Dilys intends to guide Charlie’s career, and his life, in the same way she has with so many others.

However, J.T. is so taken with Charlie that he rebels against Dilys and takes Charlie under his wing, allowing himself to return the attraction Charlie feels for him. Can J.T. and Charlie move beyond the secrets in their past and find a way to stay true to each other?

Going to the Chapel

Who doesn’t love a wedding? The three stories in Going to the Chapel prove that everyone has a special day. In Don’t Ask by JJ Massa, Captain Zachary Smith has always wanted to find out what boils behind Agent Falk Thayer’s calm exterior. Falk, on the other hand, isn’t looking for anything long-term. Never has. Never will. When things get hot and heavy between them, Captain Smith has to decide if he’s willing to take less than what he needs or sacrifice everything.

In Building a Life by Alexa Snow, when Levi goes to his best friend Cooper’s engagement party, he doesn’t expect to meet someone fascinating — and he definitely doesn’t expect that someone to be Cooper’s five-year-old niece Ashley. It comes as an even bigger surprise to find that Ashley’s father Philip is both fascinating and hot. But Philip is married, even if his wife is mysteriously out of the picture, so this ready-made family can’t possibly have room in it for Levi… or can it?

Finally, in Apples and Gin by Jenna Jones, country singer Sawyer Shaw loves photographer Noah Kingston and is tired of hiding it. He’s kept his sexuality hidden for the sake of his career and his family, but over the past ten years Sawyer has come to realize what matters most to him is Noah and his happiness, and Sawyer is ready not only to make it public but also to make it permanent.

(I like the amount of white space this one has. You can never have too much reading room.)

Here, have a picture of a kitten. I like kittens.
