Summary
When Dean Winchester’s friend and neighbor, Garth, moves out of their duplex, he is not expecting him to be replaced with a cranky, weed-smoking recluse with zero taste in music, but that’s what he gets. But Dean soon realizes there is more behind Castiel’s brooding stare and prickly personality. There is someone worth getting to know. Someone who needs a little TLC, even if he is too stubborn to admit it.
Castiel Novak is a survivor. He has survived his parents' tragic death, He has survived being kidnapped and tortured by his own brother, and he has survived living with the constant flow of nightmares that have followed. So Castiel can certainly survive having to live next to an annoyingly cheerful (beautiful) man, with kind green eyes and an unhealthy affinity to classic rock, who is determined to be his new friend.
Or, the one where Castiel starts a friends with benefits relationship with his new neighbor, and finally starts to heal his heart.

Summary
Dean Winchester lived a contented life in Erzla Cove, Rhode Island, running the family store. He had good friends, the best little brother, and a niece that he adored. The only thing missing was someone to share it with.
Castiel Novak had been through much over the years: the loss of his father, the incarceration of his brother, and subsequent guardianship of his nephew Jack, to name a few. Another loss that had affected him profoundly was that of his childhood best friend, Dean Winchester: The one who got away.
But now Castiel was hoping to change that.
Spending summers with his father in Erzla Cove as a teenager had been the only time Castiel felt truly at home, and he wanted that for Jack. Taking his late father's advice, Castiel packed up their life and moved to the small coastal town that held much of his heart, hoping to reconnect with old friends and have a second chance at love. -

Summary
“I’ll be around,” Jack said serenely, as though he weren’t breaking Dean’s heart even further. “I’ll be in every drop of falling rain, every speck of dust that the wind blows, and in the sand, in the rocks, and the sea.”
Dean let out a shaky breath. “It’s a hell of a time to bail, man.”“I’m not bailing, I promise. And I even got you a present.”
Dean’s heart was hammering at the borderline smug look on his kid’s face, not daring to hope. Not even when the voice, rich with gravel, rumbled from behind him.
“Hello, Dean.”
Castiel is back and Dean decides it's time for him and Cas to get away together and communicate already.

Summary
Dean Winchester is expecting a quiet, if not awkward, summer. His estranged brother Sammy was coming to visit from California, and all the chores around his lakeside cabin were not enough to distract him from his nerves. That is until an unexpected phone call from Sam’s sponsor, Gabriel, called with a favor: Could Dean put Gabriel’s brother Castiel up for the summer, no questions asked?
Audiobook narrator Castiel Novak is exhausted and travel-weary. Fresh off of a book tour, Castiel arrived home to find his longtime online stalker had been to his apartment. At the urging of his brother, Castiel finds himself on a road trip to Angel’s Peak, Maine, where his host, Dean, is as stunning as the mountain view.
Although Castiel and Dean feel an immediate connection, Cas is guarded, with emotional baggage he doesn’t want to inflict on his new friend. Will a summer in the wilds of Maine be enough for Dean to break through Castiel’s walls and prove that he is worthy of love and protection?

Summary
There was a photo on the wall that Cas Novak loved looking at when he was little, a love that turned to embarrassed complaining about its presence once he was of the age when everything, even an innocent kiss, was the most humiliating thing ever.
The photo was beloved by his mother, Naomi, and the kiss recipient's mother, Mary. The best friends cooed over it every Christmas Eve, when the families got together to celebrate the holiday and the night they met.
Even at twenty-five, the kiss was embarrassing, but not because it was “unmasculine” or because it was a cutesy toddler thing. No, it was because the affection behind the sweet smooch Castiel gave his best friend, Dean Winchester, had grown into much, much more.
Their families, spearheaded by Castiel's brothers, wanted them to recreate that kiss, thinking it was the only one they'd ever had. But that wasn't quite correct.

Summary
Dean’s been struggling for weeks to find a way to save Cas from the Empty. He’d hoped Jack would spare just a smidge of his new-found God power to do him that one last favor. In an act of desperation, he turns to Rowena for help. Rowena knows a brilliant opportunity when she sees one, but neither of them could’ve expected the cascade of side effects that threaten to undermine the natural order just when they thought they might finally have freed themselves from cosmic problems once and for all.
All signs point to Chuck’s power screwing over the universe, and very specifically the Winchesters, all over again. With nothing left to fight back with, they put all their hope in the power of love. Maybe this time it will work…
