Giant carnivorous dragons? And Wizard Shifter Adam is the only one who can handle the task of bringing them into line? What could possibly go wrong? Everything. But there just might be a huge silver—or more accurately a huge burnished copper—lining in the storm clouds.
For a transplanted Floridian in an alternate world of magic and shifters, life is good. But things are about to change. Adam Stephens has found a home, a husband, an adopted son, and has discovered he is a Wizard and a Panther Shifter.
When a messenger arrives from the King of Regaria in distant Capital City requesting that Adam attend him at his earliest convenience, Adam, his husband Rafe and their son Billy depart their quiet eastern mountain home.
Upon arriving in Capital City and meeting the King, Adam is informed that there is a threat to the Kingdom that only he can assist with. Giant carnivorous dragons are creating depredations in the far western end of Regaria, and only a Wizard of Adam’s renown can help with the situation.
Adam, Rafe, Billy and their friends soon discover there is much more to the story—and much more to the dragons than they were led to believe. Their boundaries will be pushed, and in the end, they will find life is much bigger than that cabin they’ve settled into in the mountains. Read More »

Needing a change of scene, Griffin Burke moves from Brisbane to Coolum Beach to start a new job. The beautiful white sand, aqua-coloured ocean, blue skies, and summer breezes are everything he longs for. What he finds is a mud-covered dog, lost and hungry, with a nametag and a phone number.

Sent on a mission to secure resources for their bear pack, alpha shifters Julian and Hugh are fine as long as they are together. Which they normally are. So much so, that people forget they aren’t actually brothers.
Julian can’t wait to get out of Mexico, but he would follow Hugh to hell and back. He’s convinced he has a lead on cheap natural resources that the pack cannot pass up. They go searching for the man who can help them. The last thing either of them expects is to find their mate in the back room of a bar in Mexico.

Except, then he meets two, gorgeous men who tell him he’s their mate. Everything inside of Logan tells him to run, but the bear brothers are always there to bring him back. They say they want his help, but Logan knows they want much more. Read More »

I was my own worst enemy. For as much as I depended on order and a structured life to easier manage my bipolar disorder, fire was irresistible and indisputably my favorite toy to play with. On the ice, it turned me into a hotheaded hockey player. In the bedroom, my attitude was my last defense, a front I wanted to see tumbling down. But lately, all I got was burned.

Love sucked. Correction: it sucked when you were in love with your parents’ closest friend and he didn’t feel the same. I admitted my feelings for Madigan Monroe over a year ago, and I was still waiting for a response. Now my balance was gone. My anxiety was all over the place, my fits of rage had just earned me a suspension from the team, I questioned myself at every turn, and being home for two weeks was gonna make it impossible to avoid Madigan.

I used to be his Abel, his sweetheart, his trouble. It’d been the two of us against the world since I was a kid. I’d even discovered we had kink in common! On paper, I was seemingly perfect for him. Maybe that was why his nonverbal rejection hurt so much. Or maybe it was because, recently, he seemed hell-bent on us “being friends” again.

Whatever. I was a loser, and I couldn’t resist him for crap. Read More »

Grayson Davenwood is an alpha who has spent his life in the field of omega medical research and despite the numerous drugs his company as created that have made omega life easier, it is never enough to erase the guilt he feels for failing to protect his best friend and true mate almost twenty years ago.
With the prospect of starting a family stolen from him, Grayson cares only about his business. He’s an alpha with a one track mind until Lochlan Varner, an omega in trouble, pushes him off the rails.
Lochlan knows what it is like to be helpless and has sworn to never return to that state. Raising his son alone, while taking in wayward omegas and acting as president of the covert organization, the Alliance for Omega Equality, he knows what it is like to end each day exhausted. Taking on a potentially dangerous mission to bring down the country’s largest drug company is simply another step he must take to ensure that one day, omegas will be treated with respect. When Lochlan meets Grayson, he wants to believe he’s just another overbearing alpha that thinks his gender entitles him to respect and obedience.
It doesn’t take long for Lochlan to realize Grayson is different from any other alpha he has met, especially his abusive ex whom Lochlan has not seen in five years but who still searches for him and his son.
Grayson can’t deny his attraction to the omega. His chance at giving his mate his knot may be gone, but that doesn’t mean Grayson can’t protect Lochlan. Except, as they spend time together, Grayson begins to realize that they have a bond that is beyond friendship. Lochlan is his and Grayson will move mountains to convince him. Read More »

Henry’s new job as maintenance man in the prestigious Baudlin Towers should be a piece of cake, but when he meets Will, the young, haughty omega living in the top floor, that idea goes out the penthouse window. After Will leaves Henry trapped in an elevator, orders him around for no reason, and rudely dismisses him, Henry is ready to hit the bar with his alpha buddies and forget all about his problem tenant. Except the cold omega prince in his lonely tower won’t get out of Henry’s head.
On paper, Will has the perfect life: he’s a world-renowned artist, wealthy enough to control his heats with suppressors and engaged to a man even richer than he is.

Except there is something in Henry’s gentle eyes and strong arms that wakes Will up in a way that he can’t ignore.
Henry can’t stop feeling like Will needs him, wants him…like Will is his. When he takes a chance and offers Will his friendship, both men are surprised when Will accepts. Even more surprising is how much they both need it. It doesn’t take long before their friendship becomes more, and Henry must claim and protect what is his or risk losing his mate forever. Read More »
