LENGTH: 43 pages
RELEASE DATE: October 25, 2021
BLURB:
Caspian comes from a long line of witches. Brock is third generation F.B.I. They shouldn’t fit but they do.
A year ago, Caspian moved to a small town in Ohio. He hoped the lack of competition in the area would be good for his psychic business, Futures Untold. The last thing he expected was a sexy F.B.I. agent to show up and treat him like a missing person’s bloodhound. Even though Caspian keeps doing favors for Special Agent Brock Wray, his distrust of authority runs deep. After all, they used to drown witches in this area back in the day, and Caspian has no desire to end up on Brock’s missing persons’ list.
Officially, no one knows how Brock keeps solving so many huge cases. Caspian is Brock’s secret weapon. The man knows things no one should. That’s not why Brock keeps showing up and making excuses to see Caspian. Caspian fascinates Brock. Not only does Brock’s inner detective need to know how Caspian knows so much, but Caspian is also smoking hot. He is the single most gorgeous man to step foot in their tiny town in ages. Brock isn’t dumb. He has to take Caspian off the market as quickly as possible and he’ll use any excuse to get close enough to do it.
When Brock takes Caspian along for the ride on a case, things will get weird. Let’s hope Caspian isn’t forced to show why he’s the most witchin warlock around or Brock might run for the hills.

Trusting Sebastian is easy, even as Colby’s dreams are plagued by an unknown shadow that attracts him as much as it scares him. Sebastian needs to build trust before revealing his true nature. He thinks he has all the time he wants, but he’s about to learn that even demons cannot control their fate.

In 1939, the world tumbles toward war and the lives of two young men will be forever changed.
James Brennan grew up in the poorest of Dublin’s tenements, turning adversity to advantage wherever he could. But he’s nearly a man now—with a good education at that—and wants more from life than what he can get as a day laborer, or following his father into the factory.
Otto Werner is the privileged son of a German diplomat stationed in Dublin. Otto is destined for great things in the new Europe sure to arise after Germany’s victory in the war. But he’s a lonely young man, living in Ireland with only his father for company, cut off from friends and family back home.
The two teens meet by chance, and each sees in the other a means to advance his own interests. But they quickly become friends, and then—surprisingly, dangerously—more. As the globe spirals deeper into chaos, the love between the young men deepens; but their world is not a hospitable place for forbidden love.
As war comes closer and closer to home, everything they believe—about themselves, about each other, about the world around them—will be shattered. Will their love for each other survive the pull toward destruction in a world gone mad?

Robert
One thing I was sure of in my life was I’d never start over after my marriage of over thirty years ended. Yet when our kids formed lives of their own, we’d grown apart. I’d signed the papers and tried to move on. My work as a Homicide Detective became my life. It left me with no time to think, but I couldn’t exist for my job alone. All that changed when the department assigned Remy Bosley as my new partner. He was too good to be true, but in a short time, he became my friend—maybe something more.

For twenty-eight years, I’d worked to leave my past behind. Although, when the horrors shaped you into the person you were, there was no escape. Being a cop for me was making sure no one else turned out like me. My partner, Robert Kauffman, made it clear how far I’d shoved my dreams down. I was too old and damaged for fairy tales, yet that’s exactly what I wanted. In a few short years, his family became mine, and I couldn’t lose that no matter how much I wanted more than friends. So when he was in danger, I did what had to be done, and nothing was ever the same.

Lord Barrett Landers, Viscount Copeland, is at loose ends after being decommissioned as a naval officer at the end of the Napoleonic Wars.

And then temptation arrives in the form of the estate’s owner, Lord Anthony Wodehouse, Duke of Malton.
Widower Anthony wants nothing more than to live his life in the country, as far away from London and his duties as a peer as he can get. He has children to raise, an estate to manage, and a family’s expectations to uphold. He thought that hosting his youngest brother’s friends for the summer would be nothing more than a minor inconvenience and a chance to expand his tiny circle of acquaintances.
Until handsome and charming Barrett stirs feelings in him that he never thought he could have.
Anthony and Barrett embark on an eye-opening love affair that makes both of them reconsider their ideas about duty and family. But when Anthony’s meddlesome aunt arrives with far more traditional plans for her nephew, and when she invites a passel of marriage-minded guests to stay with Anthony without asking him, the resulting shenanigans could land both Anthony and Barrett in heaps of trouble as they decide whether to follow their hearts or their families’ wishes.

So, he can’t explain why they keep falling into bed together, or why he’s starting to fall for the man he’s supposed to hate.

Rex, the honey guy, is a big bear shifter I try to avoid like the plague. He’s pointlessly flirty with me whenever he sees me, and it makes me a jumpy wreck.
Why pointlessly? So glad you asked.
I’m a non-shifter, and he knows as well as I do that shifters and non-shifters should never date or fall in love. I accepted it a long time ago, and I wish he would, too.
I won’t even contemplate the horror of letting myself fall madly in love with him—and I would so fall immediately and madly in love with him—only to have him go dumb-struck in the middle of the street for someone else.
Because that would be pathetic.

Dylan has been curious for a long time, but is he ready to confront his desires?
A difficult decision
Dylan Martin has worked in the same Ogunquit hotel since he was eighteen, and he knows the drill: anything that might damage the hotel’s reputation has to be reported. So telling the uptight manager there’s a gay porn shoot about to take place should be a no-brainer.
Except Dylan recognizes one of the performers. He’s been watching Mark Roman’s scenes for so long, he could describe every inch of Mark’s ripped body, from the silver at his temples and in his beard, right down to the tattoo on his ass. Not to mention Mark’s sexy smile that sends heat hurtling through Dylan every time he sees it.
But if Dylan says nothing, it’s his job on the line. And then his hand is forced…
An eager student
Mark’s shoot is a bust but there’s a silver lining, in the shape of a cute, sexy guy in the local bar. Except the guy seems familiar—and nervous—and suddenly it’s clear who let the cat out of the bag. When Mark jokes that Dylan owes him a scene to make up for it, Dylan refuses point blank, but the longing in his eyes is hard to ignore: Dylan obviously wants him, even if he can’t bring himself to say it.
Mark wants to be the one to undress him, to show him how sensual a man’s kiss can be. He wants to set Dylan on fire, to make him shudder with pleasure. Most of all, he longs to hear his name on Dylan’s lips when Mark brings him to the edge.
It won’t be any more than that. Mark’s ‘career’ has proved a stumbling block in the past, and he doesn’t expect Dylan to be any different.
Mark may know a lot about desire, but Dylan’s about to give him a lesson in love.

Perse
The last thing I expected when I threw that Halloween party at my place was to be abducted by some creepy dude who ruined my precious roses.
Warning bells went off in my head when he sought me out and cornered me, calling himself Hades and looking like he belonged in a satanic sex cult.
I was taken from my family and held captive in a realm called the underworld where all manner of demonic creatures worshipped this dark god. A powerful being who used me, terrorized me, and eventually…broke me. I’d never hated anyone more in my entire life.
And I’d never been more determined to kill anyone either.
Aidoneus
He was such a pretty, feisty little thing. His tears brought me pleasure, his fear only excited me. And when he whimpered from the pain I inflicted? It was music to my ears.
I’d intended to toy with him and discard him once I was done. But then the truth about him shattered my entire existence.
𝑯𝒆 𝒅𝒊𝒅𝒏’𝒕 𝒌𝒏𝒐𝒘. And I didn’t tell him because it would crush him more than I already had. Even if my silence meant I had to live without him for the rest of my cursed, immortal life.
