Summary
Wealthy, handsome, and very single Dean Winchester wanted to be CEO of his family's wine business. But in order to be considered for the position, he signed a contract with a clause that he had to be married wholeheartedly for at least a year by the eighty-fifth anniversary of the company, which was when his grandfather would name the next CEO. Guess who put it off until the last minute? But hey, he already arranged to marry one of his employees, no problem...well, no problem until she didn't show up, anyway.
The random employee he dragged along to witness the wedding had a solution.

Summary
Dean Winchester is a man who used to believe in foolish things: Wishes. Signs. True mates. He’s over all that now. Personal pain and messed-up biology cured him of those.
And then in walks Castiel Novak, alpha extraordinaire, who smells like heaven and throws him into hell.
Cas has always believed in true mates. He knows they exist—his family is full of them. He had his doubts about whether he’d have one himself, due to his biological “gift,” but when he meets Dean Winchester, his omega, it seems that destiny has finally smiled down on him.
Too bad his true mate hates him.
Forced by Dean’s medical complications to be together, Dean and Castiel must learn how to reconcile the past and the present, fate and choice, protection and sacrifice…before it’s too late.

Summary
Philadelphia, 2020.
Dean Winchester has been working as a detective for years, and he’s tired. Bone-tired, burnt out and carrying the weight of an alcohol issue he refuses to acknowledge. He’s also a husband and a father to 3 kids, even though lately he’s been forgetting that part.
Castiel Novak has been an attorney for the better part of the last decade, and Dean’s husband for 15 years. And he’s tired—tired of carrying the weight of his family on his own; tired of fighting so his marriage doesn’t crumble.
It all comes to a head when Marla Ashford’s case explodes: she's a candidate for the next mayoral campaign, and when her deputy fundraiser is killed, she asks Cas to defend her. Unfortunately, Dean is the lead detective on the case… And neither of them plans on letting go.
Between arguments, kids being way too perceptive, and Dean’s issues with alcohol, what could go wrong?
This is a story about a family fighting to stay whole while the world explodes around them; a high-stakes domestic drama and legal thriller rolled into one. One where Dean’s fight with alcohol becomes the center of everything, and they could lose it all.
Can they make it to the end of the line together?

Summary
The constant moving around and general lack of real connections were never great. But being stranded in Lawrence, forced to stay in place until his dad comes for him, is worse. Especially once someone starts hunting him.
Going to the police is in every conceivable way a terrible plan. Accepting personal help from a severely overinvolved cop is quite possibly an even worse one. Above all because Dean is up to his neck in illicit activities and police-related trauma. But maybe, just once, it would be nice to have someone look out for him.

Summary
In the hay loft of an old barn, two lost boys find each other.
The first time, they’re children, with their fathers’ bruises on their bodies and a connection that wasn’t meant to be.
A decade later, the bruises have solidified, sunk into their bones. Dean carries it like a thin veneer of devil-may-care attitude, using it as a shield from anything too real spilling out. In Cas it swirls as a smoky darkness under the white shirt and silver cross of being the pastor’s son.
Their connection still isn’t meant to be, but Dean can’t stay away, even if the friendship threatens to destroy both of them.
