Los Angeles, 1943
Reporter Nathan Doyle had his reasons to want Phil Arlen dead, but when he sees the man’s body pulled from the La Brea tar pit, he knows he’ll be the prime suspect. He also knows that his life won’t stand up to intense police scrutiny, so he sets out to crack the case himself.
Lieutenant Matthew Spain’s official inquiries soon lead him to believe that Nathan knows more than he’s saying. But that’s not the only reason Matt takes notice of the handsome journalist. Matt’s been drawn to men before, but he must hide his true feelings—or risk his entire career.
As Nathan digs deeper, it becomes increasingly difficult to stay one step ahead of Matt Spain—and to deny his intense attraction to him. Nathan’s secrets may not include murder, but has his hunt put him right in the path of the real killer?

BLURB:
Belar has made lying into an art form. His neighbors know him as a mild mannered music teacher, but to his fellow monster hunters he’s a senior agent with one of the best track records in the organization. Werewolves, malignant spirits, and other oddities—you name it, he can track it. And kill it if necessary.
But when a vampire shows up in Belar’s parlor, his two worlds crash into each other. The vampire is named Cassian, and if he had any sense of decency he would be dead since Belar has already tried to kill him. Twice. Luckily, Cassian isn’t interested in holding a grudge. He wants to hire the hunter. Someone in vampire society wants Cassian dead and they’ve been using Belar to do their dirty work. Finding the culprit will save them both.
Their search for answers takes them through a nighttime world of ancient vampires, demon tailors, and monsters of pure shadow. But Belar hasn’t been the only one lying, and enemies and allies are harder to tell apart in the dark.

Legends tell of large cats defending the principality of Tournai, but such creatures have been lost to time.
Or have they?
Prince Philip inherited the throne at a young age, and since then, his life has centered around ruling his country and resisting those pressuring him to take a wife and conceive an heir—forcing him to hide his attraction to men. When kind-hearted Amory is offered to the prince in exchange for more time for Amory’s father to complete a commission, both Philip and Amory are horrified. But Philip agrees to keep Amory at the palace, where they gradually become friends, then lovers. For the first time in his life, Philip is free to share not only his heart, but the magical shape-shifting ability that runs in the royal bloodline.
Neither Amory nor Philip imagined falling in love, and they certainly don’t expect the lengths those who oppose their relationship will go to keep them apart—maybe even resorting to murder.

Wolves have excellent noses and as Alpha, Taylor can sniff out every one of Nevada’s secrets—and the harder Nevada tries to resist, the more difficult staying away from Taylor becomes.

RELEASE DATE: March 16, 2020
BLURB:
When his dad makes it obvious he isn’t going to kick the good-for-nothing thief and liar of a son and Branson’s brother to the curb, Branson decides he can’t sit and watch his father shower undeserved praise on a man who will undoubtedly just steal from him again and leave him swinging in the breeze. So, he decides to leave himself and ends up following his friend Jefferson to the town of Haven Hills… where he meets Keaton and proceeds to lose his mind.
Keaton is straight… he thinks. That’s default mode, right? What everyone just assumes they’re set at until they find out that they’re not? So, the fact that he likes the attention he gets because he’s attractive more than the actual people giving the attention doesn’t mean anything… except that he might be a bit of an ass. It’s okay, he’s a good ass… with a good ass. It also doesn’t mean anything that he never seems to be attracted to anyone. But… lately, he’s started to look at his friend a little differently. When he first met Branson, of course he noticed the guy was attractive, but it was more in a jealous, he-better-not-steal-my-attention way. Then something changes. It’s like the more he knows Branson, the more he notices how incredibly hot the man is. Like really, really hot. So, what does that make him? And does it even matter?
To Branson, Keaton is an enticing mystery wrapped up in the best kind of crazy and sealed shut with an adorable idiot lock. He knows Keaton is straight, even if the guy is a little more open about some things than he was aware of… and it probably would have been better if he didn’t know, but some things can’t be unsaid… and others can’t be unseen. He was doing okay at keeping the ridiculous crush he had on the man under control, but then Keaton becomes his roommate and it’s almost impossible to ignore the chemistry. As Keaton reveals more and more about himself, Branson realizes the man might not be as straight as he thought, but as much as he would love to explore this thing with his best friend, he’s not sure he can survive the oh-wait-I-really-am-straight waiting for him at the end.

Nash has never been accused of being any of those things. He’s big, rough around the edges, and terrible at picking up men. No one is more surprised than Nash at how easily and quickly he finds his heart snagged by the guileless River. He’ll do anything to make River his, even if it means upending his own life.

The Alphas think they own everything. Including people. Well, I’m here to say they don’t own me, and I will never let one of those bastards touch me again.
The frenzy of their Burn cannot be trusted. I know from experience. My first time with an Alpha nearly ended in my death. And because of the laws which favor Alpha rights, and place a large number of unbonded, adult Omegas on chattel farms, my abuser can never be tried for his crimes against me.
Omegas are being hurt. Omegas are dying.
All Alphas are violent. Or so I believe. Until I meet Orion.
Ori is everything a guy could want in a mate. Six foot three. Beautiful brown wavy hair. Bright, dark eyes. Muscles like chiseled marble. He even says “please” and “thank you” at all the right times. He’s got it all, except he’s an Alpha.
Though he has given me a room in his home free of charge, and has signed fake paperwork saying we are bonded so I don’t have to answer my attacker’s claim, can I trust him?
But now I’m in danger. If I don’t take a real mate, my life as I know it will be over. Can I believe in the goodness of Ori? Can I learn to love again?

BLURB:
How long do you wait before giving up on someone? Ten years? Longer?
Cain feels like he’s keeping secrets from everyone. He’s been in love with his best friend’s brother for years. Nick’s oblivious. Probably. His family and friends don’t know he makes porn. Definitely. And his fellow porn stars don’t know he’s a geek. Yet.
Nick has his own secret. A kinky one that really doesn’t mesh with a career in law. He guards it closely and has no intention of revealing it to anyone. Especially not to his little brother’s best friend, no matter how much misplaced hero worship Cain might throw his way.
An eye-opening party causes a rift between the two men making an upcoming family wedding decidedly awkward. Cain giving up might just coincide with Nick realizing he’s not quite as immune to Cain’s charms as he thought. Can they ever be on the same page? And even if they were, Cain would run a mile if he found out what Nick’s hiding. Wouldn’t he?
Maybe both men are in for a surprise.

After losing his husband, Sammy Robustelli has learned to be strong while raising two children on his own.

Hart Jarrett was only supposed to be passing through Jackson Hole, Wyoming. He wasn’t supposed to get involved, no emotional entanglements to tie him down. Setting down roots was never part of the plan, not until he opened himself up to love. Too bad the man he bet on bailed and left Hart holding the ranch. There were two choices after that: run away, or stay and build something real from nothing.
Nearly six years later, Hart has created a home and a life he never expected, with the help of his best friend and foreman, Morgan Brace. The ranch is thriving thanks to its loyal men and strong ties to the community. But there’s a snake in the garden, and it takes many forms. There’s a dead man on Hart’s property, a man he knows, and the questions are piling up. As if that weren’t enough, his ex has reappeared out of the blue, with plans to reclaim what he willingly gave.
And, to make matters worse, it appears Morgan is finally taking his dating life seriously.
Everything Hart has built is unraveling.
The life Hart wants doesn’t work without Morgan in it. Imagining a future without Morgan, him turning elsewhere for love and coming in second to someone else in Morgan’s heart—as well as his bed—is almost unbearable. So maybe, just maybe, the answer lies in Hart confessing that he loves Morgan more than life itself.
If Hart gambles and loses, will he even still want the life he’s worked so hard to build?

“They are the proof that something was there and no longer is. Like a stain. And the stillness of them is boggling. You can turn away but when you come back they’ll still be there looking at you.”
-Diane Arbus
What if sex wasn’t precious? What if sex wasn’t just for the healthy, the wealthy and the beautiful? What would love be like if we stripped away the lies we tell each other and ourselves about sex? What would sex be like if we stripped away the burden of romantic love and celebrated all the ways sex makes us human?
Nothing stops time like a camera. Darby Randolph has a knack for hearing the off-note or catching a scent on the breeze and being in the right spot at the right time. He can catch lie or a moment of truth and suspend it because he understands the secrets humans hide and how to find them with his camera.
Like the subjects of his photographs, Darby is suspended and caught in a lie when a wrong number brings an entirely different animal to his doorstep. There’s never been a man like Carys Channing and Darby jumps at an invitation to tag along and witness love and sex through the eyes of a very high-end escort.
And what about the ways we feed or deprive ourselves with sex? Each of Channing’s clients is a different animal and has his own love story. Each client is a snapshot and glimpse into all the different ways a heart can love when we don’t lie to ourselves and each other about sex. Every photograph and every touch draws Darby closer to the truth and he becomes seduced by the elegant and enigmatic escort and his menagerie of clients.

But after years of being alone, I now know I have to make a move if I want the family I so crave.
My best friend Roman thinks this Male-Order App is the way. Order a husband? Like ordering books online? While I think he’s out of his mind, I fill out the questionnaire and wait for an omega to bite. Still don’t think one will.
My name is Aquila. When I left my ex, he didn’t even notice I was gone until he needed money. He’s been clear about not wanting children or getting married. And I was fine with it…until I wasn’t and neither was the animal inside of me. I wanted more. So I finally finished the questionnaire on the Male-Order App and the next day got a 90 percent match, but he lives on the other side of the country. Maybe a change of scenery is just what this omega needs.

The three men can’t be any more different, but somewhere between roasting s’mores over a campfire and realizing the only road back to civilization has been washed out, something happened.
There’s no electricity, but there’s body heat and warm blankets, and if Collin, Max, and Spencer thought the storm was unpredictable, they didn’t have any idea what to expect once their hearts got involved.
But like Collin’s company, all good things must come to an end. The question is, are the three of them just a good thing? Or the real thing?

Or would be, if he had any energy left to do so. The fact that his upstairs neighbour is making more noise that a herd of elephants isn’t helping things either. Tired, irritated, and on the verge of losing his patience, Leo knows that things have got to change.
Gordy is one of the most attractive young men that Leo has ever met, and Leo has no doubt in his mind that Gordy has been using those good looks to get whatever he wants for a very long time. So when Gordy starts turning on the charm, Leo can’t help but wonder if it’s actual interest or merely appeasement.
Together they’re going to try and figure out just what can be done with Gordy’s new roommate — an energetic, excitable, and very noisy young goat whose visit comes with a deathbed promise and a tight family bond. What Leo doesn’t realize is that she also comes with an ability to make him understand more about himself than he could have ever imagined he needed to learn.
