The Mountain Lodge that Nurtures Romance
The Men of Creekside Lodge
Tucked away in the mountains, Creekside Lodge is more than just a getaway—it’s where hearts heal, lives change, and love finds its way home. Each book in this slow-burn gay romance series introduces new guests arriving with baggage, secrets, or dreams, and follows the three owners—Jake, Dante, and Mark—who’ve built a safe haven for second chances. Passion simmers, bonds deepen, and no one leaves unchanged.
Whether you’re here for the steamy scenes, emotional growth, or just the view from the deck—welcome. Pour yourself a drink, take a deep breath, and stay awhile.
The Beginning of Something Hot
Swiped Left, Fell Right
Dante wasn’t looking for love—not with his career in flux and his dating app history reading like a list of regrets. So when he swiped left on Jake… three times… he figured that was that. But Jake showed up in his feed one more time, and Dante convinced him.
What started as a reluctant connection turns into something deeper, hotter, and way more complicated—especially when it leads them to cohabitate with Jake’s ex, Mark, at the mountaintop lodge they owned. Somewhere between unpacking emotional baggage and a spontaneous honeymoon on a beach in Mexico, they’ll have to decide if what they’ve found is real… or just a swipe in the right direction.
Lost Hiker
Brent wasn’t trying to find love—just a little clarity and maybe a quiet view. But when he wanders off-trail near Lake Arrowhead, his unexpected rescue comes in the form of Zak, a no-nonsense forest ranger with a quiet cabin and a strong sense of boundaries.
What starts as a simple offer of water and shelter turns into something deeper as a storm rolls in and the night stretches longer than either of them expected. Zak lives a solitary life by choice, and Brent’s been burned before—but something about the silence between them feels unexpectedly safe.
Back at Creekside Lodge, Brent can’t stop thinking about that night in the forest. Was it just a moment… or the start of something worth getting lost for?
The Retreat
A week of yoga. A lodge in the pines. And fifteen men on a journey they didn’t expect.
Juliano, a magnetic traveling yoga instructor, leads a six-day retreat at Creekside Lodge—a serene gay-owned haven in Lake Arrowhead. The guests? Couples trying to reconnect, singles searching for more, and a few men just hoping to breathe again. What unfolds is a slow-burning, emotionally charged week of awakening, desire, and unexpected connection.
From steamy new romances to deep reconnections, The Retreat is a tender, transformative installment in The Men of Creekside Lodge series. Standalone, soulful, and just the right amount of sweaty.
