RELEASE DATE: February 10, 2020, 2^nd Revised Edition

BLURB:

**Love looks different from a thousand feet up.**

Postmistress Penelope Moser has recently settled with her father in the Wild West town of Fortuna. Shocked by the violence around her and the depressing lives of the town’s women, she throws herself into her job. She’s determined to make the best of it before she has to marry the odious town sheriff.

But when the Persephone Star is spotted in the territory, danger literally hits close to home. Its captain—the famed outlaw Mirage Currier—is fresh out of prison and gunning for revenge on Penelope’s fiancé for locking her up and sentencing her sister to death. Penelope’s pleas to avoid violence are ignored, and a bloody showdown seems inevitable. That is, until Penelope is kidnapped and held hostage on the Star.

Shockingly, Penelope finds intrigue rather than danger in the air. Mirage’s reputation as a hardened criminal doesn’t fit with the Star’s vibrant young captain whose only goal is to save her sister from the gallows. With her sympathies shifting, Penelope must decide whether to remain loyal to her father and the man she promised to marry, or face an uncertain future with an enthralling outlaw.

LENGTH: 66,400 Words

RELEASE DATE: February 10, 2020

BLURB:

Drew’s life sucks. Saving money to escape his homophobic family is one thing, but his only paying gig at the moment is playing his father’s “only gay in the village” plus-one to every LGBT friendly business event.

Then his brother comes up with a plan. Sheffield needs someone to go undercover for his police investigation. Drew has all the qualifications: he’s gay, he has experience with exotic animals, and he’s college-aged. And he’s easily bought.

Going undercover to solve the mystery of a college campus smuggling ring was never in his plans. Neither was hot, perfect, house captain Rylee. The inside jokes about cats, animal prints, and talk of a place called Vihaan that forbids same-sex relationships, are just the tip of the suspicious iceberg.

Little does Drew know that he’s about to expose more than an illegal smuggling operation. The truth could be more lethal than he could imagine. And, despite it all, it might be his own secret past that kills him before the truth can be unveiled.

But when a snowstorm knocks out the power and traps both women in the building overnight, sparks fly–until the next morning, when the buried argument comes to a head.

Can they find a way to reclaim the magic of that night? And as decades-old secrets about the history of the town and Marianne’s family come to light, can they work together to save both their businesses?

Except, Cage doesn’t want to come out of the shadows to live a full life with Hudson, and it’s a hell Hudson can no longer tolerate.

And the weather appears to agree he should stop, when sun turns in an instant to thick fog.

Callan’s at Whittaker’s Auction House to bid on fae land that his werewolf pack need as their new home, when an unsuspecting human stumbles through the door. Ryder is out of breath, out of luck, way out of his depth—and apparently the newest item on the auctioneer’s block. Unexpectedly tempting, if Callan had the money.

As the bidding heats up and Ryder proves dangerously irresistible to the assembled supernatural creatures, the situation grows more and more precarious. When Callan interferes, he puts his pack’s future in peril. Despite knowing how devious faeries can be, desperation makes Callan accept a deal, a chance to win the land for his pack and a future with Ryder. But it’s a risk. Possibly a deadly one.

Austin: Hockey is life.

As a forty-five-year-old divorced single dad, being the varsity hockey coach is the only thing that still brings me joy. When I’m on the ice, I feel so alive and for those precious moments, I can forget about all my shortcomings.

Because of my dedication to my players, we are the league’s reigning champions.

When my best friend’s son, Brayden, tries out, I don’t know if there’s room for his ego and cockiness on my all-star line-up. But Brayden ignites something inside me that I haven’t felt since my divorce.

The attraction doesn’t—and shouldn’t—make any sense. I’d previously been married to a woman and Brayden is half my age.

I’m supposed to push my players’ boundaries to their absolute limit, but this boundary I’m pushing with Brayden is definitely out-of-bounds.

It’s only a matter of time until Brayden’s dad finds out…

Brayden: Austin’s my coach…and my dad’s best friend.

There’s something about Austin’s boldness as a coach that makes me feel some kind of way.

After many 6:00 a.m. practices with Austin, our coach-player relationship grows into something much more.

This attraction to my coach is sudden. It feels like I’m getting body-checked hard out of nowhere.

There’s no doubt we shouldn’t be together at all. But even though I want to stop, it feels like we’re colliding on the rink at sixty miles an hour.

If anyone finds out, my dream of playing in the varsity league will be over faster than it began…

“Never judge a book by its cover, Il mio piccolo,” Aunt Sophia would always say, tapping the space above her heart. “Trust what’s inside. Even beauty sometimes has an evil lurking beneath.” Over the years her nickname for me, my little one, was shorted to Mio. Calling me little when I now towered over her five foot frame by more than fourteen inches made it even more adorable to hear her say.

Is it best to see someone for who they truly are, or is it safer to hide in the shadows and avoid risking it all?

RELEASE DATE: February 16, 2020

BLURB:

Vale Valley’s new fox-shifter is about to be busy making news…

When Alpha Sam Ryder moved to Vale Valley to take over the local newspaper, he didn’t realize quite how small the town was. Or how strange. He’s used to the bustle of a big city—and more to the point, he’s used to being able to hide his shifter nature from the world around him. But in Vale Valley, he’s not even the only fox, much less the only shifter. He’s going to have to up his game to keep all his sly secrets.

Alpha Luca Marino didn’t intend to stay in Vale Valley. Not after he finished his summer run designing artwork for the local repertory theater. But the day before he was supposed to head out, he found himself following a gorgeous fox-shifter into the local paper and applying for a job. He might think he’d lost his mind, if not for the omega who’d trailed in right behind them. Now Luca’s convinced they could be great together, if only those two could leave their fears behind.

When Omega Jake Tarrant lost his job as a magazine photographer in the city, he was certain his life was over. The last thing he ever wanted to do was return to Vale Valley in disgrace. But he’s back now, and he has to find a way to support himself. If only he could find some option that didn’t involve spending time around the two hottest alphas he’s ever met. Falling for them would mean getting trapped in Vale Valley forever.

And that would be horrible.

Wouldn’t it?
