DARKNESS FALLS, EVEN IN PARADISE…
“I said, no.”
“I’m sorry, I can’t accept that.”
Hunter gave Ben Hart an incredulous look. “Accept it or don’t Hart, I’m not leaving Cam right now.”
The billionaire put his hands into his pockets and looked around Cam’s yard—an unimproved clearing to the edge of the woods. Above the jagged line of the canyon rim, a lone raptor circled lazily. “I don’t like calling in favors, but if that’s what it takes…”
“If you ‘call them in’ they aren’t favors. And before you explain exactly what happened, why do you need me? If it’s a police matter, Hawaii has police departments. The locals aren’t meeting your high expectations?”
Hart’s indigo eyes flashed fire. “Remember who you’re talking to, Detective.”
“Remember I don’t work for you, Hart.”
Benedict Hart and Hunter Dane faced-off. They were both big men, both men who had killed, and both motivated by the same thing.
“Don’t fight me on this, Hunter; I’m protecting my family.”
“So am I, Ben. Either tell me what the hell is going on or leave. Cam and I are still on our honeymoon.”
Something desperate flickered across Ben Hart’s face. “I’ve done a lot for you, Hunter. And for Cam. You think I can’t hurt you? And hi—”
WHAM!
One billionaire facedown on the redwood table.
“Hunter!” Cam was on the patio, in sweatpants and nothing else. He crossed swiftly to the table. “Let him go before one of his bodyguards takes you out from the woods.”
Hunter didn’t move. “He threatened you.”
“Then he’s scared s**tless about something money can’t fix.”

When my best friends come up with a plan to make the most of this summer before grad school, I’m all for it. That’s how I end up at a charity bachelor auction, bidding on a date I hope will help me toss this V-card out the window.
What could possibly go wrong?
Will
Life is good. I love my new job as PA to the owner of a major production company. Being a prize in a charity auction and scoring the highest bid? Icing on the cake. Now I get to be the date of the most adorable, rambling, bow-tie-wearing grad student I’ve ever seen. Seriously, I can’t be within ten feet of this guy without a smile on my face. When he slips that he’s looking for a summer fling to experiment with, I’m game. Jameson is so different from anyone I’ve hooked up with before, so completely himself, I’m immediately smitten.
Oh, and did I mention we find out he’s my boss’s son?
Between keeping our fling-turned-relationship a secret from his dad and another little familial bombshell that gets dropped in our laps, I’m quickly learning that love is a whole lot more complicated than I thought.

What happens in Vegas… gives me a migraine.
Mark:
It’s the same old story.
Astrophysicist goes to a boring conference.
Astrophysicist meets an amazing guy.
Astrophysicist loses guy’s contact details, gets fired while at the conference, then gets dragged to a job interview by his new best friend.
Astrophysicist finds out his hook up is a… a demon.
It’s not that I don’t believe in the supernatural, or magic, or… Okay, yeah, it totally is. I’m a man of science. I’m open minded enough to admit that, if you came to me with any sort of hard proof of something not of this world I’d believe it but until that happens, I am a card carrying member of the skeptic club.
We meet on Tuesdays. Newbies bring the snacks.
Bright Lights, Big Problems
Alastor:
Hook ups are supposed to be a one and done thing.
They’re not supposed to be the most amazing man you’ve ever met and haunt your every thought to the point you do something stupid like ask your brother for relationship advice (trust me, if you knew my brothers, you’d know why this is a bad idea).
They’re definitely not supposed to accidentally reveal the existence of magical beings to the human world.
The Revelation has been rescheduled and it might be the fault of Mark Stern, the man currently staying in my guest house.
The man who is number one of the Most Wanted list for the Fae, Witches, Demonborns and… Well, everyone who isn’t human.
Instead of another year until the Revelation, where all Magicals were to reveal our existence to humans, we have less than a week. And instead of forgetting about the amazing, magical night we had in Vegas, I want to relive it with Mark constantly.
I’m just afraid we don’t have the time.

Secrets lie within the walls of Redwood Manor.
The murders, alleged curse, and ghost stories have fascinated Carter ever since he moved to Ivy Grove. After attending a Halloween ball at the mansion and meeting a man almost too beautiful to be real, Carter is captivated even more.
But the man disappears after that, leaving Carter with nothing but the memory of a kiss.
Despite the warnings to stay away, Carter delves deeper into the mystery of Redwood, desperate for answers. He soon finds himself tangled up in a century old curse, one that has claimed countless lives in the past. And at the center of that curse is the man who’d swept him off his feet.
Who is Ezekiel Warren? And how is he connected to the curse?
As Carter unravels the secrets of the mansion, he begins to fall in love with the charming blond who haunts its halls.
Redwood is a place for dead things, yet Carter’s never felt more alive than when in Ezekiel’s arms.
One thing is clear: Redwood Manor has a hold on Carter now. And it’s not only his life on the line, but his heart as well.

Fate doesn’t use dating apps to pair true mates…except when it does.
Alpha Brad Galway is a hot successful lawyer and Beta of his Den with omegas throwing themselves at his feet. From the outside, it appears as though he has everything he could possibly desire. Inwardly, he has a bear clawing to get out—no longer willing to stand by and let his mate go unclaimed. But there’s a problem with his bear’s plan. Brad doesn’t know who or where he is, just that they crossed paths in an airport over a year ago. If he doesn’t figure out how to control his bear soon, he risks losing everything—including his life.
Human omega Gabe Rafferty is excited to start his new job as a professor of English Lit. Ever since a layover in an airport last year, he’s felt like his luck has changed. He can’t explain how or why…but something happened that day, and everything from that point was onward and upward. He just wishes he had someone to share it with.
When Gabe is talked into using a dating app, he isn’t expecting much until he stumbles onto profiles that are fixated on the TV series, Shifter World. And he definitely isn’t anticipating the smoldering alpha who recaptures that feeling he experienced at the airport. Sparks fly, feelings grow, and their worlds are turned upside down in the very best of ways, but is it too late for Brad’s bear?

Oh My God, Stephen Taylor grew up to be gorgeous.
He called me feather-brain like he did when we were kids, and it was like he’d never left.
Except back then I wasn’t in a wheelchair.
Come on, Stephen. I haven’t changed. I’m still that glass-half-full kid you remember, honest.
Please, be different? See past the freaking chair?
Of course, what would make it goddamn perfect would be if you turned out to be gay, as well as tall and beautiful.
Hey, a guy can dream, right?
Stephen:
Oh my God, he hasn’t changed.
He’s still full of sunshine like he was as a kid.
He wants to know what life was like in California, but there’s only so much I can share.
I’m not going to tell him what I’ve been through. He doesn’t need to know I have lousy taste in men.
Why couldn’t just one of them have been like you, Jamie?
Because I could so fall in love with a guy like you.
Only one thing wrong with that – you wouldn’t want a guy like me.

Shawn – Life is good. In just a couple short weeks, I’ll be starting a new job; I’ll be business partners with Holden in our own consulting firm. I’ll be working alongside my best friend instead of the incompetent blowhards I have to put up with now. That means I’ll escape the weekly meetings about my “attitude problem”, which is only caused by the aforementioned blowhards. It also means I’ll get to see more of Holden and his fiance/little Ollie. I can’t get enough of my self-appointed nephew. I love hanging out with both of them; to have adult conversations with Holden and watch Ollie play. But as happy as I am that my friends have found love, I can’t help but be jealous. I’m not looking for a little of my own, though; I’m interested in a different type of boy. I’m a Dom at heart and looking for a young man whom I can guide, spoil, and love…and tie down, spank, and fuck. I’m forty-six and growing impatient. I’m ready to settle down; I want a relationship, and I want forever. I know I can make my boy happy. I’ll fight for him, shield him, and bring him pleasure beyond his wildest dreams. I just have to find him first.

I try my best, but I struggle with pressure and responsibilities; things usually dissolve into one disaster after another around me. I need guidance and direction, but my Master just cast me aside after he’d used me up and grown tired of me. No one ever keeps me. I crave to belong to one man and spend my life pleasing him; to learn everything he needs and be the one to give it to him. I want to be someone’s everything. I want to be his forever. But luck is never on my side. I’ll hold on to my dream, but I won’t hold my breath.
