Men of Hidden Creek Season 1, #1

“It's time to stop running away.”

Private security contractor Orion Miele is only back in Hidden Creek long enough to help his Gramma get better. Orion never expected to fall for the only brown-eyed beauty he turned down in high school… one who needs his protection now. Juggling his responsibilities might get messy.

Gabriel Spicer can't wait to get out of this town and his cousin's fixed-up shed, far away from his clingy ex. He works at the Mieles' farm produce stall to save up for the big move to Houston, where his life will get better. But meeting his high school crush all over again throws his careful plans awry.

The walled garden designs Gabriel loves to sketch have nothing on the walls around his heart. While Orion comes to terms with being bi, Gabriel realizes that leaving isn't all it's cracked up to be. What he needs is shelter… here, in Orion's arms.

Welcome to Hidden Creek, Texas, where the heart knows what it wants, and where true love lives happily ever after. Every Men of Hidden Creek novel can be read on its own, but keep an eye out for familiar faces around town! This book contains a sweetly scheming grandma, a guy who thinks he’s straight, and a sketchbook full of hopes and dreams.

This co-written series is released in simultaneous seasons. All books occur at the same time as the others within a season, so there is no fixed reading order. You'll see familiar secondary characters dip in and out of all the books, and now and then you'll catch another couple from a past, present, or future season in the background of a book. This means you can choose any reading order you like and skip around as you like!

Shelter is part of season one, and became book #1 when our readers asked for a suggested reading order. Don't miss my books in seasons two, three, and four if you enjoy the first season!

“Treat yourself to this delightful story that reminds you that hope and love are a possibility for everyone!” -Amazon reviewer

“Both of the main characters are complex, caring, unique, and utterly adorable. Orion and Gabe compliment each other, and watching their unexpected flirtation and interest bloom in the Texan sun made me feel all warm and cozy while reading. Speaking of the Texan heat, be warned that you'll need an ice cold drink to cool you off from the steamy sex scenes. Oh my goodness, gracious me…I had to turn my fan on to keep from burning up!” -Amazon reviewer

“I loved it! This author knows how to capture and portray a feel-good, emotional love story with just the right amount of drama. He has a way of making the reader feel like they are part of the story. It is so vivid until it almost feels like you are watching a movie (front row) instead of reading a book.” -Amazon reviewer
