Takoda Outreach Center: The Complete Series
Welcome to the complete series for the Takoda Outreach Center. Prepare yourself for a building bursting with found family, volunteers who meddle out of love, and the most heartwarming of HEAs.
Treasures & Found Family
Opening a soup kitchen with his two best friends was a dream come true for Avi. When Zachary is convinced to volunteer, Avi is intrigued by the sad man with the unhappy eyes and wants nothing more than to make him smile.
Zachary is bewildered by Avi, but when the sunshiney man offers to be Zach’s fake boyfriend for a family party he’s dreading, he’s drawn into his warmth. Can Avi convince the stubborn man to open his heart and start living again, or will he drown in his sorrow?
Mansions & Motorhomes
Volunteering at the soup kitchen guarantees Jasper warm days and hot food before he heads back to the cold motorhome he sleeps in. Caleb might be a famous chef by Takoda’s standards, but he’s miserable and needs something more fulfilling.
After providing Jasper sanctuary from a snowstorm, will Caleb be able to convince the younger man to be as brave with his heart as he’s been while living on the streets?
Secrets & Badges
Starting the food pantry for Takoda Outreach Center is Fisher’s dream come true. His weekly hook-up with the hot and perfect Officer Marcus LeBleu is like icing on the cake. When he takes in two homeless youths, everything gets complicated.
When Fisher unexpectedly ends their weekly routine, Marcus is determined to figure out why and make it right. He thought they’d been heading toward something more, not less. Will he be able to convince Fisher to let him in? Can Fisher trust his heart to a man with a badge?
Dreads & Crew Cuts
Lachland’s secret crush on his brother’s best friend makes moving in with him a tad awkward, but he has nowhere else to go.
Kamari isn’t sure when Jasper’s little brother grew up to be such a buff, attractive man, but the kid needs a place to live, and he’d do anything to help him out.
They were just supposed to be roommates, not spend every free minute together or fall in love. How do they tell Jasper? Will he approve? And what are they willing to sacrifice if he doesn’t?
Motorcycles & Teddy Bears
Adopting the three children he’d fostered keeps Judson on his toes. They’re amazing, stressful, and exhausting—but mostly amazing.
When Austin, the hottie hair stylist, begins inserting himself into Judson’s life, the frazzled single dad isn’t sure what to think. He has a support system already at Takoda Outreach Center.
Can Austin convince Judson that he’s a safe bet for the little family? Will the supporting cast of found family in Judson’s life give him a choice?
Jingle Bells & Mistletoe
It’s been years since Avi found Zachary. In that time, Jonathon has watched all his friends partner up and Zachary’s little brother grow all the way up into a fine man.
After the death of his childhood best friend leaves him raising her three-year-old, Anson is back in Takoda, but is he ready to claim the one man he’s never been able to—or wanted—to forget?
With the sound of bells in the air and mistletoe dangling from the ceiling, these two men are finally ready and willing for the magic of Christmas to give them their hearts desire—a little family of their own.

Great Series
Book 1
This story will pull your heart strings. Three remarkable men start a soup kitchen to honor Avi mom but what they found is family and love. This story was how both Avi and Zach learn to deal with the memories of each of their mothers and found love they didn't realize the were missing. I can't wait to read the rest of their stories.
Book 2
Oh I enjoyed reading Jasper story. Caleb was so perfect for him. The recurring characters helped bring the story to life. Jasper thought he was all alone but found he had more support and love than he thought possible. I can't wait to read the next book in this incredible series.Oh I enjoyed reading Jasper story.

Takoda Outreach Center Complete Set
These books are magical. They start with the founding of the Outreach, and follow the growth, and the people involved over several years. The characters are varied, and their romances are different, but everyone gets their HEA, and fortunately we will meet some of them again in the next series. Don’t miss these stories - they are worth your time!

CW: off page child abuse, off page child SA. Homelessness, divorce, cancer, homophobia
This is a low/mild angst MM series. It touches on some darker themes that lead people to food insecurity and homelessness. However each couple ends up with their HEA.
I do recommend reading this series before reading some of this author's contemporary works because many are set in the same universe.
