PUBLISHER: NineStar Press
LENGTH: 337 pages
RELEASE DATE: June 28, 2021
BLURB:
Award-winning photojournalist Scott Rowe is struggling with the physical injuries and emotional scars caused by the terrorist attack that killed his interpreter, Omran Saleh. A long succession of doctors and surgeons have put his body back together, but to Scott, his mind seems beyond repair. Panic attacks ambush his days, and nightmares haunt his fitful sleep. He can’t bring himself to touch his broken camera, let alone consider returning to work. His only sanctuary is the darkroom, where he can escape the secret he carries surrounding Omran’s death.
Dr Jason Andrews is determined to bring Scott back from the brink. His alternative healing methods are like nothing Scott has ever seen, and at first, Scott feels foolish lying on Jason’s table with hot rocks in his hands or acupuncture needles in his skin. But one thing keeps Scott coming back: the detailed visions that appear like movies in his mind, of himself in other times, cultures, and continents, and Jason himself, whose relentless hope steers them through the storms of Scott’s recovery.
As his health improves, Scott begins to wonder what his visions mean. Are they vivid daydreams, figments of his exhausted mind? And why does he only have these visions when he is with Jason?
Scott hopes the answers will give him a reason to make peace with Omran’s death and begin to truly live again, instead of merely surviving. But what if they also give him a reason to love?

I’m not just willing to make him mine; I want to claim him as mine in every way. Having him give in to me will ultimately be the sweetest victory.
Is it really possible for me to love a man like Kingston while still wanting to be the winner?
Kingston Sabatino

So when a wealthy new client contacts him to locate a stolen a fae artifact, Parker’s hoping for a simple job.

A hundred years after the pandemic that killed a quarter of the world’s unbonded omegas, every unbonded omega is guaranteed safe haven on an Omega Sanctuary.
But the only way to leave – is to find a mate.
John Willoughby is getting what he doesn’t want.
Quiet, focused John has lived on an Omega Sanctuary for over half of his 24 years of life. He has no intention of leaving. Who needs an alpha? He’s happy in his garden with his trees.
That’s before he meets the young alpha who insults and infuriates him. Or the older alpha who talks to him and makes him laugh.
But he could never have both of them… could he?
Wade Sheppard is getting a lucky break.
Wade doesn’t have the bank account or the fame. What he’s got is his determination to be the best Major League pitcher on the East Coast. He doesn’t need to bond with the cute omega he meets. No matter how much his smile sends Wade’s heart – and temper – soaring.
Thank goodness that older alpha intervened before anything could get any worse…
Javier Espinoza is getting a second chance.
After his first mate died, Javier had no intentions of mating again. But Javier is drawn to sweet, shy John, despite his best intentions. Watching him spar with Wade just makes Javier feel all the more protective of them both.
Surely, whatever bond those two obviously share – couldn’t have anything to do with Javier. Could it?
Pheromones are pesky things…
No one is surprised when an alpha triggers John’s estrus – but everyone is surprised when it’s not one alpha, but two. Can John, Wade, and Javier convince anyone that they should remain together? Or will the bond they’ve formed be forced to fade away?

RELEASE DATE: June 29, 2021
BLURB:
Sometimes things look one way, but when you scratch the surface, there’s more than meets the eye.
Jeremiah Wolfe has always done what was necessary to survive. On top of working two jobs, he’s going to school to become a social worker so he can give kids the help he never got when his mother left years ago. When a rare night off finds him with the chance to make a quick buck, he jumps on it. But his evening goes sideways, and he’s about to head home when he’s propositioned by a stranger. A meaningless one-night stand is simple and easy, so he steps into the hotel room—as he has many—without expectation. But the man behind the door is a surprise, as is the instant connection that builds along with passion and a glimpse of his heart. Small wonder that Jere can’t get the nameless man out of his head.
Cameron Gallagher has never been accused of being spontaneous. He’s an introvert whose life is about schedules, plans, and lists. He’s always been the careful one, so inviting a stranger into his bed on the lure of his gorgeous smile and warm brown eyes isn’t only out of his comfort zone, it’s entirely out of character. Surprisingly, when he wakes in the morning alone, it’s not regret he feels, but the need to find the man who held him in his arms all night. It seems crazy, but he can’t get the man out of his head.
When they’re brought back together, each man believes it’s more than luck. They feel as though they’ve gotten a second chance. Sure, love at first sight is just a myth, the stuff of romance novels, but the more they scratch the surface, the more they realize they’ve got a shot at something lasting.

When my parents decided to name me Andrew I doubt they could have imagined it would lead me here…
Where is here, exactly?

Sullivan Stapleton is the last person I should be getting involved with; he’s on the rebound, he’s a guy, and he’s a freakin’ billionaire who never saw a problem he couldn’t throw money at.
But I can’t turn down the cash he’s offering to be his fake boyfriend for the weekend; not when I’m in dire need of funds to repair some storm damage to my auto-shop.
And then after the wedding…well, I should walk away. But for some reason I just can’t seem to let go.

I’m a cam boy who officially identifies as Wrangler-sexual. It’s entirely the fault of Trip Goodnight, the strapping cowboy at the ranch next door. He doesn’t know it yet, but he’s going to be the father of my two-point-five children.
We’re an unlikely pairing, what with him being straight and me being a gay sex worker, but those, darling, are mere details. When he saves me from a literal nest of rattlesnakes, it’s nothing if not true love. I’m aiming for a spring wedding.
While it’s true that I haven’t been able to let a man touch me since I was attacked last year, and there’s no telling what my father might do if he manages to find me, I’m not letting any of that stop me.
In fact, I’ve stolen Trip’s cowboy hat and used it in one of my videos, so I’m already well on my way to making him mine. Besides, he’s the first man outside of my found family who’s made me feel safe. Protected.
That’s gotta count for something…right?
I was born and raised on Rebel Sky Ranch, and working with the horses is the one thing I’m meant to do in this world. The ranch has had a rough go of it, but in the long, terrible year since my mother’s death, meeting Sam is the one bright spot.
He reminds me of the horses we rescue. Scarred, skittish, and…strong. Beautiful.
He’s a bit of a hat-stealer, and, truth be told, I’m a little leery of his chosen profession. But if that scar on his face is any indication, he could use somebody at his back. I aim to be that person.
And yeah, some of my parts get confused by the fact that he’s all delicate and sparkly, but that’s not important, even if the good hand lotion has somehow made it into the tack room.
I just hope he knows that he’ll always be safe with me.
