When he and Eliot find a box of Auntie’s mementoes in the basement, highlighting a very unconventional theatrical career, he decides to hold a party to honour her. But there are way too many obstacles preventing him getting his friends together in one place, this close to Christmas. Or so everyone keeps telling him.
Rick loves his partner Eliot, and is very fond of his friends. But a man’s patience can only stretch so far. The day of Auntie’s birthday turns out to be a very confusing and distracting time for him—and everyone except him seems to be in on it. From covert meetings, to secret recipes, to mysteriously vanishing decorations, and even through a very hot but surprising seduction, Rick is led astray until the day is almost over.
And then his friends show another side of their meddling. Auntie Pop had love and respect from many of the escorts at the Haven, and it looks like her day will be fondly remembered after all. And Rick and Eliot may have the chance at last to make their own special commitment—that’s if Rick ever forgives all the subterfuge!

Dear Santa,
Is it okay for this wealthy, self-made man to request something for myself this year? Especially something money can’t buy? I’m not greedy. I only want one thing… Love. Someone for this Daddy to treasure. And if it’s not too much, a family too? One to fill my too-large, too-empty, and all-too-lonely house.
Let me slow my roll because I’m getting a bit heavy over here. Melodramatic, even. I’m simply trying to be honest. We both know I’m a decent guy with a good life. A very good life. But the nights are getting longer, and the other side of the bed is so dang cold. Did I mention lonely?
If it’s okay to ask for a gift of my own this Christmas, I’d like a family to love, a partner to treasure, and maybe even a furbaby or two. Kisses under the mistletoe now and a future filled with more love, laughter, and happiness than even a decent man like me could possibly deserve.
Happy Holidays!

So, why does his PA think it’s a good idea to send him to a hippy-trippy wellness retreat deep in the Australian tropical rainforest?

Not all ghosts are dead.
A Grey Lady on the stairs.
A long-missing skier in the walls.
A medium losing his cool.
And an ex boyfriend in the bedroom.
Things are going fine. Just…fine.
It was supposed to be an easy investigation: a classic ghost story, an old house with lots of loose floorboards and hissing pipes, surrounded by dense forest… Every strange noise and weird shadow accounted for and dismissed.
Except for the sound of Oscar being accused of misleading his audience, of being a con artist.
And the Julian’s ex showing up at the investigation as the new owner of the ski resort, haunted by the Gray Lady of the Rockies.
Julian should have known better than to believe it was going to be an easy investigation.
The scariest hauntings aren’t the dead. They’re the ghosts we keep inside.
Oscar has it under control.
Really.
The Gray Lady of the Rockies is supposed to be a simple investigation, something they all need after the last few months, but when the first night in the Chateau de Neige turns up an extra dead body in the old family cemetery, and an extra live one in the ski lodge’s dining room, Oscar’s grasp on the situation feels like it might be slipping.
His abilities are still in a state of flux—one day they’re just fine, the next the volume is cranked to eleven with no warning and no in between.
And really, Oscar was sure he could handle it so long as the ghosts would stop being so damn critical.

Especially when he realizes the one thing he’s always wanted in a relationship might be the one thing Emmett has never been able to share with someone.
Was it too much to hope for a Christmas miracle?

It’s beginning to look a lot like murder.
Chopping down a Christmas tree has never been something Dr. Maxwell Thornton aspired to. But his boyfriend, Sheriff Royce Callum, has a tradition of visiting Giggly Elves Tree Farm every Christmas to do just that.
Trying to prove he’s a team player, Maxwell agrees to accompany Royce on his week-long tree-felling adventure. It’s a chance to spend some quality time with Royce, and also get a break from Rainy Dale.
All guests are required to turn in their cell phones upon arrival because Giggly Elves Farm is for people who yearn to escape modern-day stresses. Maxwell endures a lumpy mattress and high sodium meals of bacon, beans, and more bacon, with a fairly good attitude. But when a freak storm washes out the road back home, Maxwell begins to feel the strain.
Things turn downright terrifying when a guest is found stabbed to death in the reindeer barn, and all of the cell phones are found destroyed. It seems there’s a murderer on the loose, and he or she has a very different interpretation of how to bring out the holiday spirit in others.

Today was the last day of the contract and Mike was determined to ask Cal Derricksen to dinner at the end of their final meeting. They didn’t get to the meeting. Mutual repressed desires and unacknowledged natures refused to be ignored one minute longer, rendering construction cost accounting irrelevant.
They did make imaginative use of Cal’s office furniture, however, to the immense satisfaction of them both.
But in the aftermath, the inexperience of the nascent Dom and virgin sub brought confusion and doubt and distrust between two men who refused to let go of one another.
So Mike sought advice from a Master. That Master told him that no one became a great Dom unless they knew what it was to submit. Completely. The Master could teach him.
When you discover you’re the Dom of another man’s dreams, you have to grow up.
Cal was too important to Mike for him to refuse. He paid the hefty fee and made the contract. The Master was now his Master.

Aldo tries to play it cool when he works for his celebrity crush, but resisting the temptation to flirt with Rook is tough. Not falling in love with him is impossible.
Aldo Farnese
They always say don’t meet your idols, but I’m assigned to work as the live-in butler for Rook Warrick, the famous Hollywood action hero on the run from a scandal. Do you have any idea how difficult it is to act normal while fanboying about your secret celebrity crush when you’re in forced proximity with him and all of his powerful pheromones? It’s so hard, and I mean that in every sense of the word. Seriously, he is G-O-R-G-E-O-U-S. How can I resist my urges to take the chance of a lifetime at being with him?
Imagine my shock when I discover Rook missed his calling as the romantic lead in those cheesy rom-com movies my siblings adore. He’s so charming, wonderful, and thoughtful that he makes me swoon—and trust me, I am not the swooning type. My preference for quick-and-easy goes right out the window to drown in the blue lagoon outside our villa. He makes my heart want those happily ever afters I used to scoff at until I met him. Will he take me seriously when I say I have real feelings for him or think I’m just an immature kid who can’t handle commitment?
Rook Warrick
I never expected to feel like I didn’t have a single care in the world when my career is on the brink of disaster after a paparazzi video of me kissing my male co-star goes viral. But Aldo is a surprisingly perverted ray of sunshine who makes me laugh harder than I have in years. His laid-back attitude and quick wit make my forced banishment feel like I’m on a real vacation with a good friend…who I occasionally hook up with because he’s entirely too tempting to resist. Not to mention he’s very persuasive.
Aldo is the polar opposite of what I prefer in my partners: he’s eighteen years younger, a full foot shorter than me, and looks like he doesn’t have what it takes to keep me satisfied when I like a man to take control of my desires. But he unexpectedly ticks all my boxes, including a few new ones I didn’t even know I had. I have a long list of very valid reasons why it would be smart to keep my distance from him. But why should I let any of that stop me when I’ve fallen in love with him?

BLURB:
Who makes the rules for love?
Adrissu isn’t like other dragons. In fact, no one in his home of Polimnos knows he’s a dragon at all; to them, he’s the eccentric elven mage living in a tower overlooking the sea, and he’s perfectly content to keep it that way. There he can study the many mysteries of magic in peace, and occasionally step in to help the little town flourish. He doesn’t expect to tire of his life in Polimnos for a long time; but when he does, he can just gather up whatever remains of his hoard and fly away in the night to start a new life somewhere else. After all, dragons live forever.
Base draconic instincts are beneath him. He has no need to plunder and steal to increase his wealth, no need to burn and pillage only for the sake of destruction. And he certainly doesn’t believe in fated mates—no, the only being he needs is himself.
Then, after almost thirty years of living in Polimnos, Adrissu meets the eyes of a handsome young warrior, and the world comes to a lurching stop around him. The pull of fate, something Adrissu thought was a myth amongst dragons, is unmistakable. But Ruan is everything he should shun—loud, bold, stubborn—and worst of all, utterly human with a tiny mortal lifespan. Much as it pains Adrissu to stay away, he knows getting involved with a human is only going to cause him greater suffering later on. Unless…
Unless he’s willing to break every rule of magic he knows. Unless he’s willing to take on the scorn of every other mage, mortal or otherwise, to accomplish his goals.
When Ruan accepts his plea to bind their souls together, even after death his soul will be reborn and they can always find each other, in this life and the next, and the next… and the next.

BLURB:
Those who come back from the mysterious place known as the Realm, if they come back, are changed. Some return haunted. Others with knowledge of themselves that they will not share, and the magic of the Realm at their disposal. The peculiari, as these few are called, are tolerated at best, feared at worst.
Nicodemus isn’t anything like one of the exceptional, adventurous peculiari. For the most part, he’s content to keep house for the peculiari of the Arawn Agency and rarely ventures outside of the manor they all call home. As an asterion, one of the unwanted, monstrous children of the Realm, Nicodemus is human in appearance except for the ram’s horns growing from his head, and prefers the company of those who don’t judge him. There’s just one hitch in his otherwise safe and orderly world. One awkward, inconvenient, twice-a-year problem in which Nicodemus goes into what can humiliatingly only be called a rut.
It’s a secret he keeps from the others. But this year, unable to stand the thought of spending his rut alone, he ventures out in search of company—only to run into Bel, the one person he hopes will never discover his secret. Bel is powerful enough to make even other peculiari wary and far more experienced than Nicodemus in the ways of the world. But tonight, Bel isn’t out seeking pleasure. He’s on the hunt for a true monster that has slithered from the Realm to hurt people, and he seems to think Nicodemus is especially in danger. The Realm, and this creature, are drawn to people who want, and sheltered, lonely Nicodemus, with his rut approaching, is nothing but want.
According to Bel, the best way for anyone to stay protected from the temptations of the Realm is to indulge themselves enough to make their desires manageable. Alone with Bel for the first time after Bel vows to keep him safe, Nicodemus starts to wonder what it is that he really wants, and why Bel understands the appetites of a monster so well, and if perhaps Nicodemus should follow Bel’s advice and indulge some desires of his own.
