Bennett Winchester is perfectly content with his life in Mirror Lake. He owns his own garage where he works as a mechanic, has two sisters and good friends to spend his time with, and he doesn’t mind not being in a relationship—until Felix Kipling arrives in town and starts working at the bar owned by Bennett’s sister. The second Bennett lays eyes on Felix, his alpha instincts make it clear he’s looking at his true mate, and he’ll do anything to be with him.

Felix has a past that makes him wary of a potential relationship, but Bennett isn’t easily deterred and he’s willing to take everything at Felix’s pace, no matter how long he has to wait to claim Felix as his omega. The two quickly realize that what they have is so much more than a casual fling, but it may not matter when an accident puts Felix in a coma.

Dealing with his confusion about the cause of the accident, suspicion of everyone around him, and the return of Felix’s mate, Bennett is faced with an impossible choice: does he bond the man he loves to him without his explicit consent, or allow Felix’s ex to be involved in decisions that directly impact Felix’s health?

As the sheriff of Mirror Lake, Bennett’s best friend, starts to piece together the makings of a larger criminal organization, Bennett’s concern that Felix’s ex had something to do with the accident only grows. But there is nothing Bennett won’t do for his omega, even if it means risking everything to protect him.

"Knot a Chance" is the first book in the Mirror Lake Series.

Bennett Winchester is a mechanic who runs his own shop, living a quiet life in Mirror Lake with his family and friends. That all changes when Felix Kipling shows up. From the moment Bennett meets him, he’s got this gut feeling that Felix is his true mate. But Felix has been through a lot and is pretty wary about trusting anyone, so Bennett takes it slow, wanting to let their relationship unfold in its own time.

Just when things start to heat up between them, disaster strikes—Felix ends up in a coma after a terrible accident. Now Bennett's stuck making some tough calls about Felix’s future and suspects the crash wasn’t just a freak accident. With the local sheriff digging into a bigger criminal scheme and Felix’s ex popping back into the picture, Bennett’s ready to do whatever it takes to protect the guy he loves.

Two decades ago, Jack Garrison boarded a plane for West Point and left Luke Calder behind.

Luke stopped waiting. Eventually.

Now, as he approaches forty, Luke has built a life he loves in Calder Ridge, the Colorado mountain town he's always called home. The past is finally where it belongs.

Then Jack comes back.

After a decorated Army career, a failed marriage, and a lifetime spent wondering about the boy he left behind, Jack plans only a brief stop.

Everything changes when he sees Luke again. Confident. Stronger. Somehow even more handsome than Jack remembered.

Their attraction flares to life again, but desire is the easy part. Heartache and distrust don't disappear overnight. What happens when the boys who lost each other grow into men who finally have a chance to get it right?

Some first loves fade into the past. But some are worth taking the long way to find again.

A beautiful second-chance, small-town MM romance that completely stole my heart. 

I really loved that our two main characters were a little older.

Twenty years ago, Jack left Calder Ridge to attend West Point, leaving Luke behind. Luke stayed and built a life for himself, making a good name in the town. But Jack has never forgotten Luke — and he’s always carried the guilt of the way he left.

Now, twenty years later, Jack is back.

Being reunited brings all those old feelings rushing back, but can you really go back to where you left off after so much time apart? Have their feelings remained strong, or has twenty years changed them both too much?

I loved watching Jack and Luke find their way back to each other. 

A heartfelt, beautifully written romance about love, regret, forgiveness and finding your way home to the person who has always held a piece of your heart.

**A wonderful story that I absolutely couldn’t put down!**

Hilarious, campy, musical and moving, this book provokes you to ponder: If I steal a few hearts, can I still get into Heaven?

When a failing radio station’s morning show starts stealing, sampling and remixing ‘90s pop songs in a Hail Mary attempt at attracting an audience, virtuous virgin Japheth is forced to team up with Rino, a dangerously charming Italian car dealership heir with advertiser dollars to spend and maybe-mafia vibes, and their enemies-to-lovers romance threatens to become the station’s biggest scandal and its only salvation.

At WWJD Radio in Greater Napanee, salvation is off script. The phones are ringing off the hook, the fax machine is spitting out cease-and-desist letters from every boy band of the ’90s, and Trinity, the trio of accidental evangelists, are stealing pop songs “for the Lord.”

There’s Rebekkah; the breathless true believer who, though 30, still refers to herself as an ingénue. Her best friend Japheth; virtuous and still virginal. Ronald: poly, pan, and building an ark in his backyard.

Together with Carrington (part receptionist, part stylist, part chaos incarnate), Suwarna (HR, in charge of keeping her new station owner alive and not ‘disappeared’), and everyone's new boss, Emma-Lou (an heiress with a talent for panic and bangs that weren’t her idea) they’re keeping WWJD barely afloat.

Until it burns down. Literally.

Their only shot at salvation comes from Rino Ferrari: a devastatingly charming Italian car-dealership heir with too much money, too many secrets, and maybe a little mafia energy. Unfortunately for Japheth (romantic mess and professional overthinker), Rino is also the last person he wants to need… and the first person he can’t stop thinking about.

As scandal, suspicion, and undeniable chemistry collide, Japheth and Rino tumble from enemies to lovers in a rom-com where faith is flexible, temptation is tailored, and the guy you’re supposed to hate is the one who makes you feel alive.

Is local car dealer Rino Ferrari a mobster, or just a surprisingly generous Christian with body bags of money to give away? Why did Emma-Lou’s parents really “disappear” in the Bermuda Triangle? And will Trinity rebuild a new station on a floating ark, or sell out to dirty money for fame, tote bags, and a studio album?

Outrageously funny, shockingly tender, and just heretical enough, Bless This Hot Mess will jump-start your heart.

Love can be found in unexpected places

As a ranch hand on a sprawling ranch in Colorado, Jake finds comfort in routine. Now, the ranch is being transformed into a dude ranch for troubled LGBTQ youths from the city. It’s a change Jake resists, fearing the loss of the ranch’s soul.

Dalton, a banker from Denver, arrives at the ranch to deliver three young men to partake in what the ranch now offers. He’d love to escape his chaotic life, but he feels out of place in the vast, open landscape and has no idea how to fit in, so he doesn’t plan on staying. 

To Jake, Dalton is a city boy with tassels on his shoes. Plus, he’s afraid of horses. Jake is not interested. Except, Dalton is as pretty as a sunrise, with blue eyes reflecting the Colorado sky above, a combination almost impossible for Jake to resist.

To Dalton, Jake is a dusty cowboy with chiseled features and a distant air; he probably hates everyone and everything. Dalton does his best to stay out of Jake’s way.

Dalton attempts getting on a horse, in spite of his fears, and when he gets tossed off, it's Jake who hauls him to his feet, dusts him off, and teaches him how to ride.

Long days on the ranch lead to late-night talks under the stars. Slowly, they challenge each other. Dalton helps Jake see the beauty in change, while Jake offers Dalton a sense of belonging. Will they put aside their own fears and realize that love can be found in the most unexpected of places?

The perfect ending to the Snow Creek Ranch series! This slow-burn romance is full of heart, healing, and love. Jake and Dalton's journey from opposites to soulmates was beautiful to watch, and their chemistry was wonderful.

The wedding scene, with Buddy and Snowball carrying the flower baskets, was the perfect ending. Jackie North wrapped up this series beautifully, and I finished it with a huge smile. Highly recommend!

about the author:

Jackie North has been writing stories since grade school. Her dream was to someday leave her corporate day job behind and travel the world.

As fate would have it, she discovered m/m romance and decided that men falling in love with other men was exactly what she wanted to write books about.

In this dazzling new world, she turned her grocery-store romance ideas around and is now putting them to paper as fast as her fingers can type. She creates characters who are a bit flawed and broken, who find themselves on the edge of society, and maybe a few who are a little bit lost, but who all deserve a happily ever after. (And she makes sure they get it!)

She likes long walks on the beach, the smell of lavender and rainstorms, and enjoys sleeping in on snowy mornings. In her heart, there is peace to be found everywhere, but since in the real world this isn’t always true, Jackie writes for love.
