Spencer drags around a lot of baggage, including an ongoing battle with the bottle and a long career as an LAPD detective he’d set fire to in a blaze of booze-soaked mistakes. San Francisco is supposed to be a new start but his old ghosts haunt him, beckoning him back into his self-destructive bad habits. Bad habits that include contemplating doing dirty things with the wrong kind of guy and this time, it’s a sleek, cold-tempered medical examiner named Xian Carter with a complicated reputation.
For a century-old demon, Xian Carter is content with his secretive life. Hiding his nature from the mundane world, he blends in with the city’s inhabitants as best he can but even the best of predators make mistakes. Delving into the mysteries of the dead provide a welcome distraction from endless nights and hiding in plain sight amuses him, until something supernaturally wicked comes knocking on his door with an extremely hot, broody Inspector close behind.
Murder makes for strange bedfellows and this one is no exception. The twists and turns of the case leaves Xian and Spencer on a wild goose chase after clues but Xian can only hope there’s a human at the end of the trail—because the last thing San Francisco needs is another predator.

My name is Elijah Masters, and I haven’t been the same since my dad died in an electrical fire. My friends and teachers lifted me up to make it to high school graduation. But away at college, I chose sex and partying to cover up the gaping hole in my heart. I got sent home on academic suspension, and now I’m back in West Palm Beach, Florida, living with my mom.
That’s seriously depressing, and then I find out my mom’s got a live-in boyfriend. Really thoughtful on her part. We haven’t even been through the second anniversary of dad’s death, and the guy, Justin, is totally not age-appropriate. He’s this sketchy “lifestyle coach,” who’s really obviously sponging off my mom. To make things ten thousand times worse, Justin’s a gorgeous, golden haired fitness god, and as much as I want to hate him, he does things to me I can’t control just being in his presence.
My daily escape from Crazytown is working as a barista-in-training at a coffee shop, where oddly enough this kid Mike Shatz holes up to study. We went to middle school and high school together, though we traveled in different circles. I don’t know Mike’s deal, but I remember he had it kind of tough. The rap on Mike was he was slow, but I think it’s more like he’s on the spectrum. People in our town are pretty ignorant, and meanwhile Mike’s really come into his own. I’m kind of falling in love with his dark brown, wavy shag of hair.
I don’t know if anything is going to come of that, but I need to keep an eye on Justin. I’ve got this feeling he’s after something, and I’ve got to wake my mom up to the game he’s playing.

‘Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house
Everyone was stirring, even the mouse;
The stockings were hung but hearts were heavy with care.
Fear not! Naughty St. Nicholas soon would be there.
Our heroes are troubled; restless in their beds;
While taxes, deadlines and arguments swirled in their heads;
A widower-depressed, two teachers-repressed, one couple-distressed,
Settle into a cold evening; little hope for relief or rest,
When in the living room there arose an almighty ruckus,
They sprang from their beds to see what the fuss was.
There by the tree stood a man like a tower,
He’d come bearing gifts and a whole lot of swagger.
The moon caught in his beard and his eyes twinkled like new-fallen snow,
And sent a tingle and warmth to their nethers below,
When what to their boggling eyes did appear,
A gent as swift and randy as his eight reindeer,
With a feisty old driver so lively and thick,
They knew in a moment they’d be banging St. Nick.
More rapid than eagles to his thrusts they came,
And he licked, and shouted, and called them by name.

Dear Santa,
Not sure if I made your naughty list this year or the nice one, but I suppose it doesn’t matter since all I want for Christmas is a hot Daddy to spank my a** until I cream, and that kind of fits either way, right?
Nah, I’m not being greedy. Hear me out. If I somehow made the nice list, then—besides the fact that you should definitely check your algorithms—a Daddy who can actually help me get my shit together is probably the only thing that will help me stay there. But if you’ve got me on the naughty list (and let’s be real, I was lying when I said I wasn’t sure; we both know you do) then I’m pretty sure I deserve that spanking.
And Santa? Any Daddies you want to send my way can get a free preview of what they’re signing up for on my YouTube channel. Hit me up, and don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe.
JustAPrettyFace
The last thing Jordan Wendt wants is a Daddy. Someone else in his life to come in and tell him what a fuck-up he is, when he’s already perfectly aware? Oh, hell no. Besides, not to sound shallow—well, maybe a little bit, but just keeping it real—but old dudes just aren’t his thing. Still, when he gets roped into signing up for the kinky dating app Cuffd and sending a “letter to Santa” as part of a holiday promotion on his YouTube channel, he’s more than willing to play it up. Anything for more subscribers, you know? Especially since the channel is the only thing he’s got going for him.
Andy Archer is as vanilla as they come. So vanilla, in fact, that he didn’t even realize vanilla was anything but a latte flavor before he accidentally fell down a Google rabbit hole and ended up fifty shades more knowledgeable than he ever expected to be about the world of kink. And okay, maybe it wasn’t entirely “accidental,” but when he stumbled across a video of his former high school crush asking Santa to bring him a Daddy for Christmas, Andy is determined to find out what the heck that means. Because sure, Andy isn’t exactly Daddy material and Jordan has always been a little—okay, maybe a lot—out of his league, but if there’s ever a time to believe in miracles, it’s Christmas, right?

Ioan loves Christmas and spending the holiday helping the residents of the nursing home to enjoy themselves is amazing. But he feels like he’s missing something. When a resident’s son arrives for his annual visit, Ioan can’t help but notice. Looking is all he’ll do, though. He’s learned his lesson about long-distance relationships, and he won’t go there again.
Are they willing to give a transatlantic relationship a try, or is it doomed to fail?

Omar: If that joker doesn’t stop annoying me, I’m going to give that mouth of his something better to do.
The first time I saw Anders F***ing Bash, he was shirtless, armed, and simultaneously the most beautiful and frustrating man I’ve ever met.
He has not gotten any uglier. Or any less frustrating. And today I finally took a swing at him.
Our boss thinks a simple op in East Texas is exactly the thing we need to mend our relationship and restore the team dynamic.
I think two men are driving to the Pineywoods and only one is coming back.
Anders: Look y’all—sane isn’t really where I shine.
Does it make sense to mess with the Guardians’ new hired gun every chance I get? No. Does it mean I’m going to stop? Also no.
Honestly, there’s nothing more fun than irritating a sexy grump who can’t stand how pretty I am.
That said…the more I get to know him, the more I realize how much he’s hiding behind those walls of his. And this little road trip is the perfect opportunity to thoroughly explore the real Omar.
I just hope I haven’t pushed him too far this time.

I’ve split-up with my out-of-work, cheating boyfriend. Missing the familiarity of spending Christmas with someone, I’m staying with friends and escaping my sadness in the gym.
Except I didn’t bank on slim, shy and oh-so-broken Christian. Rejected by his homophobic parents and uncommitted boyfriend, he’s spending Christmas with us too. He’s suggested how to forget our hurts, which has me hot and tempted, but I’ve sworn off men.
Anyway, he’s far too good for me. A whizz in the kitchen, he has too much sass and is everything my ex-boyfriend wasn’t. I’m absolutely not imagining us making a life together. I’m definitely staying single.

Well, I’m back in Port Dale for the summer, staying with Elliot and Clay. Not my original plan, but that got busted.
I never expected to run into him. He looked good, even better than before. Nate had been more than just my best friend, he was my ‘almost’ first boyfriend. Then he was suddenly removed from my life. I’d thought it was for good but then, as I’ve recently found out, plans change!
Now we’re both back in Port Dale. Can we pick up where we left off? Should we? Well, the answer to that was out of our hands when the trouble started.

My life has always been determined by my father. He made me leave Port Dale, he chose my college, and he brought me back when my grades dropped.
Then I ran into Tyler and, wow, he’s changed…for the better! Getting together again could be a blessing… or a curse if my father ever finds out. Can I keep Tyler a secret from him? Should I? Little did we know, trouble was waiting right around the corner, and it would put all our lives in danger.

Watch those flying reindeer turn into naked people …? Check?
Discover magical elves are trying to kill you? Um … Wait! I don’t want to check that one!
Either I’m having the most epic blackout or my hangover has thrown me into the craziest world that has ever existed. I just found out that Santa is not only real, but he and his people can shapeshift into reindeer. I also just discovered that elves are real, which would be cool, except they’re evil and want to kill me! If that wasn’t bad enough, the elves and reindeer are at war with each other. So, not exactly like the cheery, heartwarming stories we’ve been told.
If a war between elves and reindeer isn’t shocking enough, it hardly holds a candle to finding out that I’m supposed to be the one person who can save an entire planet. Yeah, talk about being totally unqualified for the job. At least that overshadows the fact that I might now have a Santa kink when the young, hot, white-haired warrior is sent to protect me. But can I really help save Santa and his people? Can I stop the elves? Or is everyone doomed to suffer the deadliest Christmas ever?
To find out if this will be a Christmas to die for, buckle up in your sleigh, pour yourself an eggnog, and sing a Christmas tune, because this tale is about to get jolly and insane.

Sometimes, I lay awake at night, empty inside, carved out and hollow, as if he’d already taken everything from me… As if I could only be whole while he was in me.
I didn’t know anymore if what I felt was love or insanity.
—
At nineteen, Rees’s life had come to an end. An orphan who loads ships for a living has no hope to die with dignity. Soon, he won’t be able to work, and then hunger might kill him before his illness can. He feels no fear or regret when he offers his body to the immortal Demon to consume.
Despite the colorful, terrifying legends surrounding him, the Demon is a practical and benevolent landlord. He finds joy in taking care of his estate, farming, raising horses, and watching the villages thrive. His only vice is seduction. He likes how human men crave, their warmth and scent, their primitive urges. He only lets his lovers stay for a little while. Human lives are transient after all, like shooting stars. Better to enjoy them while they shine brightly and send them on their way.
Until one day, a dying boy comes to the estate and changes everything.
