When desire rises, angels will fall.
Over the past century, Belphagor has made a name for himself in Heaven’s Demon District as a card sharp, thief, and charming rogue. Though he’s content with his own company, he enjoys applying the sweet sting of discipline to a willing backside—angel, demon, and even the occasional human. He’s not particular. But when a hotheaded young firespirit steals his purse—and his heart—all bets are off.
Vasily, a former rentboy and cutpurse from the streets of Raqia, has never felt safer than in the arms—and at the feet—of the Prince of Tricks. He’s just not sure if Belphagor returns his feelings. The attentions of a rich, angelic duke provide the perfect opportunity to find out whether Belphagor is willing to fight for him, but the foolish game backfires—spectacularly.
When the duke frames Vasily in an assassination plot, Belphagor will do whatever it takes to clear his lover’s name and expose the real traitor. Because for the first time in his life, the Prince of Tricks has something to lose.

THE GANGSTERS… Clint, Cochise, and the men return home from Canada, looking forward to some much-needed rest and relaxation. But they soon discover there is no rest for the weary as they are immediately faced with another crisis—missing loved ones that seemed to have disappeared into thin air. With no leads and no idea if their loved ones are dead or alive, the gangsters are desperate to dig up a single clue—anything to set them in the right direction.
As the gangsters are about to lose hope, an unexpected lead takes them to the last place their loved ones were seen. With a reluctant witness and a forced confession, they are left with little to go on… until a group of strangers—in search of their own lost loved ones—provide another piece of the puzzle that ultimately leads the two clans to a place of hellish imaginations… and terrifying revelations.
THE BASE… After the unexpected, violent encounter with his arch-enemy Alexander Kane, Ardan MacNamara, the founder of The Base sanctuary for child prostitution victims, finally closes the door on his dark past. His honorary adoptive father, Fabian Bloom, who also suffered horrific physical, sexual and mental abuse at Kane’s hands, no longer looks over his shoulder, enjoying his new life to the fullest.
But then, Ardan’s three sons and their friends are kidnapped in broad daylight, only a few hundred yards away from The Base, and the two men’s world collapses. Numerous search parties are organized and no stone is left unturned, but the kids are nowhere to be found. The evil force behind the kidnapping seems to be greater and more dangerous than anything Ardan and Fabian fought against.
Desperate situations require desperate measures and, for the first time, the two men search for help outside their circle of traditional allies. Even if they’ll find it, Ardan and Fabian are aware that, this time, they may not make it out alive.

Just when Emmett thought things couldn’t get any worse…
Orphaned at the age of nine and sent to live with his abusive uncle, Emmett Keefer felt his life was over before it even began. Eleven years later, desperation gives him the courage to run…right in front of a moving vehicle. Not his smartest decision, but he can’t be too upset when he winds up in the arms of his gorgeous hunk of a rescuer.
As a mixed breed wolf shifter, Ryker Sullivan long ago accepted that he would never be Alpha of his own pack. Instead, he focuses on saving other shifters from being persecuted or, worse, killed for not being pure breeds. Getting involved with the human who ran in front of his truck would be a giant mistake, but he can’t just walk away after nearly running over the guy.
The attraction is instant on both sides and giving into a one-night stand seems harmless, but neither man is prepared for the truth about Emmett and how his mother died…or how it will change their lives forever.

When a man approaches him seeking help in locating a lost dog, Gale rebuffs him.

Brent Henner is the last person Mark Peterson expected to propose to him even once, let alone twice. Brent at fourteen was big-hearted and caring, and he’s the same now that they’re adults. He always goes above and beyond to help people, from taking a punch when Mark was being bullied as a teenager to offering his help now that Mark’s Nana is injured.
Mark is the last person Brent expected to see in the frozen foods aisle. They drifted apart when Mark’s mom, fearing for his safety in their small town, moved both of them to San Diego. But now Mark is back, like a ray of sunshine cutting through the fog of Brent’s depression.
Getting married makes sense on a lot of levels. Brent gets company in his big, lonely house, and a spouse to support him as he fights to keep their small town from being overrun with developments. Mark gets an accessible place to stay while Nana recovers and better insurance than he can afford on his freelance income. Getting to flaunt a gay marriage in the face of their childhood bullies? A delightful bonus.
There are just two problems:
Mark’s been in love with Brent since they were children
Being married to Mark is making Brent question everything he believed about his sexuality

Instead of fleeing, I stay put and end up having the hottest bathroom hookup with someone whose name I don’t know. Because I’m still in the closet, I don’t talk about what happened that night, glad that it was with a guy who doesn’t live in the same town. But come Monday morning, the naked man from the bathroom strolls into the locker room and locks eyes with me.
His name is Dominic and he’s new to campus and trying to take my spot on the team, which makes me hate him. It’s too bad I loved everything he said and did to me the night we met, but I can’t let him get to me with his cocky smirks and filthy words. I have to focus on keeping my position on the team, but I can only think about the positions I want to be in with him.
He’s arrogant where I’m modest. I’m docile where he’s domineering. We’re complete opposites, so it could never work, but being with him makes me want to break free from the chains that have kept me in the closet, because he’s also the firm hand to my wavering confidence and I’m the moth drawn to his flame.

When a one-night stand from a year ago shows up on his doorstep, she’s bringing more than a trip down memory lane — and her little bundle of joy may just be a bundle of trouble if it turns out the baby is actually his.
Especially when he and Seong-Jae are called back to active duty, partnering again with Internal Affairs on the murder of a fellow officer, caught on tape and seemingly cut and dried. But nothing is easy about this case, and what looks simple on the surface hides something deeper. Something that crosses Santiago Vasquez’s path.
And Vasquez isn’t feeling too cooperative.
Not when Malcolm and Seong-Jae are working another case under the table. Anjulie’s asked them to find Daniella Vasquez, living or dead.
But can Malcolm keep his head in the game, as years of buried trauma boil to the surface?
Or will Seong-Jae be left to shoulder this alone, when Malcolm succumbs to old pains?

Falling for my temporary host wasn’t part of the plan.
Maxim
I don’t need a man. I don’t need anyone.
David thinks he can save me from the path of self-destruction, but he’s wrong. I’m not trying to ruin my life; or fix it. I’ve given up trying either way.
I have a plan. I’m leaving this city and all the wretched memories behind, but I need to say goodbye to my mother first. Father won’t let me. He won’t even open the door for me anymore.
The only man to open his home to me is David. He’s patient, caring, and sexy as all hell. I don’t deserve his kindness. I don’t need it. I don’t need a man.
But maybe it’s a Daddy I needed all along.
David
All I ever wanted was someone to look after, to make mine. I didn’t expect to find that someone in an angry little con-artist.
Maxim’s a heartthrob. He’s also a troublemaker; a stubborn one at that. I’d be wise to stay away, but I might not be as wise as I thought.
Every conversation with him is a battle and it takes a war to finally get to the core of the problems. All this boy wants is to see his mother and I’ll be damned if I don’t make it happen. His life is one massive heartbreak, but I can help heal a broken heart.
There’s so much good in him the world decided to ignore. No wonder he’s angry.
He won’t be mistreated ever again; not on my watch. And if he would lower his shield for just one moment, maybe we could both find what we’ve truly been looking for.
