Something About Him Series by Sean Ashcroft

Would marrying his best friend to get his hands on a quaint, small-town bookstore really be that bad? Declan never expected to ask himself that question, but when an inheritance from a distant great uncle offers him the chance at a brand new start in a brand new town—with the catch that he has to marry before he can have it—he’s forced to consider it. Ash has been Declan’s best friend since college, and he’s the only person Declan can trust to help him... moreWould marrying his best friend to get his hands on a quaint, small-town bookstore really be that bad? Declan never expected to ask himself that question, but when an inheritance from a distant great uncle offers him the chance at a brand new start in a brand new town—with the catch that he has to marry before he can have it—he’s forced to consider it. Ash has been Declan’s best friend since college, and he’s the only person Declan can trust to help him. Getting him to agree to marry him is one thing, but dealing with the way it changes their relationship is something else entirely. New surroundings leave Declan confused by how he really feels about Ash, the freedom of Hope Springs awakening something in him that he hadn’t known was there before. Ash is happy to help him out, but what started out as a simple question soon becomes something much more... Something New is the first book in a new series set in Hope Springs! It stands alone, has a HEA, and does not end with a cliffhanger. However, it does contain: a room full of second-hand books, a ridiculous will condition, cheating at video games, explicit sex scenes, and doughnuts. less

Three years ago, Blake got fake-married in Vegas on a whim to a man he never expected to see again. Right up until that man turned up in his office with a borrowed sweater, a charming smile, and news that the marriage had been legal the whole time--and that it’s now legal in Australia, where Rusty is from. Rusty is just as gorgeous as the last time Blake saw him, and while Blake knows better than to get involved with a man who’s leaving in a few days, he can’t ignore the pull between them. Especially not when they’re sharing Blake’s old bed, and Rusty’s doing his best to be the perfect husband, right down to defending Blake’s honor. Rusty knows he can’t really afford to stick around with increasing pressure from his father to sort out his marriage situation and come back home. And Blake could do better than him, anyway… But there’s something between them, and Rusty begins to think that if he leaves now, he’ll regret it forever. Can he work up the courage to say so before he says goodbye? Or are he and Blake doomed to be almost together? Something Borrowed is the second book in the Something About Him series, but it can be read stand alone. It has a HEA ending and does not contain a cliffhanger. However, it does contain: what happens in Vegas not staying in Vegas, a borrowed sweater, a charming Aussie boy, a family wedding, Hope Springs, explicit sex scenes, and love conquering all. less

His relationship with Connor deepens physically and emotionally as they get to know each other, but despite growing up in a town like Hope Springs, Max isn’t sure how he feels about Connor, or whether he wants to admit it--even to himself. With the wedding approaching and the deadline on their relationship coming up fast, Max finds that his world is suddenly moving way too quickly. Can he figure out what he wants in time to keep it?
