Rami, Naveen and he have moved on from their less than perfect beginning: they have two babies they love, Rami’s in college, Devlin’s researching at university like he dreamed, and Naveen is devoted to teaching their girls Urdu through the three single nursery rhymes and five phrases he knows in the language—also, diapers.

But while the alphas are comfortable with their relationship and Devlin is happy enough to gatecrash, they still have a lot of exploring to do—in bed and out of it—before they find a way to be together that can last forever.

It will all come down to whether they can learn from their past mistakes and trust each other to do better, but when you have been hurt as badly as Devlin has, trust is an expensive coin to spend.

PUBLISHER: Self Published

LENGTH: 453 pages

RELEASE DATE: February 1, 2021

BLURB:

Robbie:

On the most auspicious occasion of my eighteenth birthday, my stepmother drove me to and abandoned me in her brother’s driveway. Allegedly, I’m an adult now, but one day doesn’t make a difference for a guy with an alphabet soup of anxiety disorders, except that it does. The Demesne D’Aquino feels like home, the family here chooses to love me, my step-uncle actively wants to help me. I arrived broken, small, and terrified, but I feel like I can finally start healing.

My Humanities teacher treats me like he believes I have value. I don’t know how Chanda Marduke slipped past all my defensive walls. He’s a towering wall of muscle and strength, and I’ve been conditioned to fear men like him, but I’m falling in love. I know the attraction between us, the chemistry, and the friendship falls under a morally ambiguous standard, but he engages me in ways I have never experienced, he treats me like I have intrinsic, inherent value, and I can’t give that up for social mores that have failed to protect me my entire life. He may be the most terrifying man I’ve ever met, but we fit together too perfectly to let anything stand between us.

Lamentably, Fate’s animus toward me followed me to Houston.

Chanda:

Until I walked into my classroom to find a pretty little guy reading one of the textbooks, I had no idea what temptation was. He’s my student, and I shouldn’t lust after him, but the more time I spend with him, the more I realize lust doesn’t begin to cover what I feel for him. Robbie may be the strongest guy I’ve ever met, not brute strength like me, but inner strength and damn if that doesn’t make everything about him more appealing.

Unfortunately for everyone involved, some random Diviner has drawn me into a real-life game of chess where every decision I make could end someone’s life. I’m trying to keep my pieces on the board, but free will is a bitch, and Fate has tangled a web of strings to trap me or end us all. How do I keep everyone thrust into this game with me alive without losing the guy I think may be the key to saving us all?

RELEASE DATE: February 1, 2021

BLURB:

Rene was my first everything. Best friend, first kiss, first love, first heartbreak.

Seven years after walking out of my life, they tear open old wounds with a single photo of a smiling little boy and the message they’re coming home.

Mo has my smile and Rene’s eyes. It kills me that I didn’t know about him sooner. As furious as the news Rene kept such a major secret makes me, I want a relationship with my son more than I want to rehash old arguments. Besides, Rene has more baggage than the 747 they flew in on, and I swore off love the first time they left me heartbroken.

When I learn Rene and Mo need a place to stay while they settle into life in Vancouver, it sounds like a perfect opportunity. I’ve got a spare room. What better way to figure out co-parenting than living together? It’s not like I’m going to fall for the ex who hurt me deeper than anyone else could. That would be ridiculous.

Returning Helios to his position on the throne is the only right thing to do, yet Griffin knows that in doing so, he risks losing his lover forever.

It doesn’t matter if he sees the same burning need he feels reflected in Elias’s gaze because Elias isn’t submissive and dominance runs through the very core of Foster’s being.

Those are the rules.

Submissive and inexperienced, Elias is fascinated by the worldly, sophisticated man who comes into his bar. He’s everything Elias has ever wanted in a man: a compact body, an intense stare, and dominance that clings to his skin. It’s a shame he never makes a move.

But rules are meant to be broken.

And then something unexpected happens. When a coworker comes in and drags his stranger out of the bar, Elias can’t help but follow. As Elias lets his curiosity overtake him, he finds himself Foster’s partner, and suddenly, the man who never makes a move is making them all.

When he’s put in charge of brokering the biggest deal in the company’s history, he knows he can’t lose, even though his boss, Cecily Swanson, clearly wants more than just a professional relationship.

When a rich, handsome stranger, Kim Bailey, introduces himself to Rick at the Swansons’ New Year’s Eve party, Rick is thinking he can definitely get used to rubbing elbows with the upper set. He feels everything is finally working out, despite Cecily’s increasing interest that only seems to strengthen as they approach her high-profile Valentine’s Day wedding.

When someone is murdered in his flat, Rick is shocked but still determined to hold on to his dream. Cecily believes he’s innocent and, more importantly, so does Kim. Though he’s beginning to suspect that there’s more to the guy than meets the eye, Kim’s belief in Rick keeps him strong.

As the investigation continues and Rick finds himself buried deeper in a mess of conspiracy, betrayal and intrigue, he will come to wonder whether the life he’s dreamed of could ever be real.

Tiller:

As the first openly gay professional football player, I can’t afford to make any mistakes, on or off the field. And the absolute biggest mistake I could make right now would be to fall for Mikey Vining, my best friend, employee and, more importantly, Coach’s baby boy. I might fantasize about Mikey at night-—every night—but actually touching him would be a serious personal foul.

And falling for him? That’s completely out of bounds.

Mikey:

I’ve learned my lesson about falling for one of my dad’s players. They’re a bunch of spoiled jocks with more muscles than brains. I’ve spent years learning to keep my eyes, and my hands, to myself. But resisting the temptation becomes nearly impossible when Tiller Raine and I end up together in a small cabin in a remote Colorado town.

Suddenly, there’s not much to do but look at each other. And talk. And hopefully, hopefully touch.

But what happens when our stay in Aster Valley is over and it’s time to return to the real world? Will Coach blow the whistle on our relationship? Or will Tiller admit there might actually be something he loves more than football after all?

However, the fast-paced world of entertainment demands all of Rian’s time–time that he needs to prove to Darrell he’s more than a work-obsessed celebrity. When a network offer that could secure his legacy arrives, Rian has to decide if this chance to become the king of entertainment is worth throwing away a chance at love with the king of role models.

True love knows no boundaries.

Fergus loved his husband very much, but that love was twisted around and used against him until he was a shell of the man he once was. Only Everly, the fiercely protective man his mind created, was able to keep him from taking his own life. When his husband finally crosses a line, Fergus’s life hangs in the balance, and just when he thought it was over, two shining beacons kept him tethered to this world.

Dehaan lived a solitary life until he was taken in by the president of the Steel Riders MC. With his pharmaceutical knowledge, he began helping them to eradicate the potent drugs invading the city. Having been physically abused as a teenager getting close to someone else was difficult for him, but it didn’t stop his heart from wanting the son of the president, even though the man was more than he could ever take on.

Xavier had been a dominant for as long as he can remember, but he still has things to learn. The love for his best friend has been holding him back from finding his own happily ever after. Until he takes a chance and is rewarded with Dehaan’s admission of love. His protective instincts flare around his best friend and lover, but even more so when they find a man clinging to life in an abandoned warehouse.

Xavier and Dehaan take him home and nurse Fergus back to health. When they realise the man has split personality disorder, it doesn’t stop Xavier from falling for the protective but submissive Everly, and Dehaan from falling for Fergus.

Can their newfound relationship survive the addition of a third?
