No one understands what it’s like to love a psychopath. Mink has spent his entire life as a plaything. It’s time to run.
Mink grew up loving Xiv. As kids, despite their extreme financial divide, they were closer than any two friends could be. Then Xiv’s father died. Xiv took over as head of the Alexeyev family. Now nothing is the same. The closeness they once shared is gone. Mink is property. It was an existence Mink thought he could handle. Until Xiv purposely allowed Mink to get kidnapped by a contract killer. Now Mink is done.
There is one object in existence that matters at all to Xiv: his puppy. He’s kept Mink on a short leash for as far back as he can recall. That’s why he thought Mink would stay through anything. It seems he went too far at some point. Xiv thought he could let Mink go. He tries, but nothing is the same without his other half.

It’s 2022. Magic isn’t supposed to be real. Arranged marriages aren’t supposed to exist.
How are gay arranged marriages for the purpose of magic a thing?
Fen has grown up all alone in boarding schools. Never meeting any of his family. At his graduation, his older brother turns up to take him home. Except Fen discovers he is the result of a shameful affair and not actually related to Lord Garrington at all. Yet, for appearance’s sake, everyone must continue to believe they are brothers.
To make matters worse, an indiscretion reveals that Fen is a vessel. Someone who grows magic but cannot wield it. Magic can only escape his body and not kill him by regularly submitting his body to a mage. Hence the crazy arranged marriage idea.
It’s a shame the only mage he wants is his arrogant and obnoxious fake brother.
Lord Xander Garrington, like all British nobility, is secretly a mage.
He was only supposed to pay the boy off, but Fen turned out to be outrageously pretty. Then he turns out to be a vessel. The opportunity is too great to miss.
He needs to pretend Fen is his brother and sell his stepmother’s bastard to the highest bidder. Securing the best possible match to advance the family’s fortunes.
If only Xander’s emotions would obey.
He is supposed to sell his fake brother, not fall for him.

BLURB:
How far would you travel for one man?
The very last thing Jimmy Downing needed was a skinny traveling partner who acted half his age with a chip on his shoulder and no idea how the real world worked. Because Jimmy had a lot of experience with the world and he wanted no part of it anymore.
He was trying his best to be an honorable man after two decades of being outside the law. He’d stolen things. He’d killed people in the name of survival. He’d helped other men do horrible things. But now he was keeping his head down and trying to live under the radar. It wasn’t his fault that Oscar needed someone to show him right from wrong, give him something to eat on the regular and try to keep him out of trouble, so he didn’t end up making a mess of his life the way Jimmy had. Maybe that was what being a good man was all about.
Except the things Jimmy wanted from this twenty-one-year-old man were far from respectable, and he couldn’t stop thinking about them, especially when Oscar Yates of the big brown eyes, cackle of a laugh and insatiable appetite for anything grilled over an open fire insisted on pushing all his buttons.
How was Jimmy going to last the 760 miles to Port Essington without giving in to those needs Oscar called to with the hint of a smile and a smart-assed curse? Because if Jimmy did give in, it would mean both of them living outside the law and never having the chance at a decent life again.

It all went bad when Steve left the family suddenly. Jilted and heartbroken, Connor begins to search for love online. So long off the market, he enlists his daughter’s help in crafting a dating profile.
His prayers are answered when Trey Goodall, smart and handsome, answers his ad. He’s witty, urbane, a wealthy attorney, and his sex appeal is off the charts. But he’s a liar, a monster under a pretty mask. Miranda sees through the red flags and senses something very wrong beneath the façade.

But the voice spilling filthy promises into his ear and calling him “daddy” is addicting. And strangely familiar…
Juro Ando is just trying to pay the bills.

Upon learning of my oh-so-tawdry affair, the princess decides she won’t stop until the two of us are wed, and she doesn’t care that my Prince Charming by day is Prince Gigolo by night. My brain says this can’t happen, but my gentleman parts? That’s a whole ‘nother fairy tale.

Emil never expected to get caught for his crimes, and he didn’t expect to end up as a bondservant to one of the richest families on Cadmus Station. He’s willing to play nice, but he refuses to be submissive—there’s nothing submissive about him.
His new master is cruel, but he’s inept and inexperienced. Emil can see all the cracks in Johan, and he’s going to take every advantage he can get to gain the upper hand.

BLURB:
Butch
I was the leader of the Soldiers of Fortune MC. I was powerful, fierce, and vicious when needed. And I melted like a puddle when I realized the injured man I’d rescued off the street was my mate. At my age, I never really thought I’d get one, and yet here he was. Treat was everything I ever could have dreamed of. It was just too bad his life was such a nightmare.
Between threats from someone close to the MC and people being kidnapped right off the streets, learning that Treat might be a special kind of shifter seemed like the least of my worries. Having to call in a favor from an old enemy doesn’t sit well with me, but I’d do anything to keep my new family safe, even face my father.
Treat
Trick or Treat, that was my motto. I wasn’t thrilled that I had to sell my body to make ends meet, but caring for the small bear shifter I’d found on the streets meant doing whatever I needed to do to keep a roof over our heads. It wasn’t a glamorous job by any stretch of the imagination, and it wasn’t always safe. When the neighborhood starts to become even more dangerous, I know it’s time to reevaluate my employment choices.
I never dreamed I’d find safety in a motorcycle club run by bear shifters, or that their leader would be my mate. I wasn’t opposed to the idea. Butch was sexy as hell. I just wasn’t sure he was powerful enough to keep me and Doby safe, especially when someone starts kidnapping people right off the streets and I may have led them right to the Soldiers of Fortune.

Brett needs time, patience and reasons to smile… probably not a mate. Except, fate never seems to plan its timing.
Chance, a golden retriever shifter, is a counselor at the New Haven center for omegas. He’s as patient, kind and empathetic as his animal counterpart—the perfect man to help Brett heal and learn to trust.
But first he’ll need to get past his fated mate showing up as his newest group therapy member. And earn Brett’s trust… shouldn’t be too hard, right?

Some things you can’t just blurt out… right?
When you’ve shared a kiss with your best friend and it blows your mind—and other parts of your body—it’s inevitable that everything changes.
That’s the way it now is with me and Jayden Moore, my best friend who thought he could rock my world with no consequences, all while throwing me his signature grin.
But this is Jayden we’re talking about. He gets himself into unexpected trouble no matter what, and when visiting Australia, I’m compelled to make sure he doesn’t get eaten by a croc or try to steal a kangaroo. Like the glutton for punishment I am, I follow him.
And that’s all great until my desperation and big mouth send our worlds spiraling. Apparently, we’re now officially a couple. And because of course it goes one step further, I’ve now got my very own fake fiancé.
Being in the media is one thing, but being inspiration for others creates a whole new set of guilt and problems. But we’ll tackle it together and find our way back to how things were.
And if that’s not possible, just maybe Jayden and I can find ourselves with a brand-new label. One that’s real, and one I don’t run from. That’s the thing with Jayden: he has a way to extract my secrets. Whether he’s prepared for them or not.

Will Jimenez should be thrilled to be going on his first book tour. But traveling to twelve cities in fourteen days while trying to finish his revision sounds more like a punishment. Especially since he’s going to have to share those fourteen days with a complete stranger. An unfairly hot complete stranger. Derek Byrne is thrilled to be going on his first book tour. It’s a welcome distraction from the stalker who keeps finding him somehow, despite the separation between his author persona and his real life. Will being tall, dark, handsome and exactly his type is a nice bonus. At least, until he gets to witness Derek breaking down, live and in person. As the tour continues, the sparks flying between Derek and Will are undeniable. But attraction (and scorchingly hot sex) aren’t enough to build a relationship on if they can’t communicate. Between the stress of dealing with Derek’s stalker and their attempts to safeguard their hearts, their connection might end up in the past tense, unless they can find the courage to write a new ending.

For Sawyer Brower, the picture-perfect town of Pelican Bay was just supposed to be another place to take refuge for a few months before moving on. One year later finds the seemingly unflappable wildlife veterinarian settling into what’s supposed to be the quiet life of contentment he’s always wanted.
But there’s nothing quiet about the arrival of the gorgeous but very bitter ex-soldier who seems intent on destroying what’s left of his life after losing his legs to an IED.
Jett
I didn’t just lose my legs in that godforsaken desert, I lost the man I used to be… the man I should’ve been. How the hell am I supposed to come back from that? I can’t. I won’t…
While it took years of hard work and determination for Jett Sharpe to prove he deserved a spot in a prestigious military academy followed by an illustrious career in the army, it took just seconds for it to all be over. With nearly all of his brothers-in-arms lost to a roadside bomb and his own future irrevocably changed, Jett’s got little left to live for.
So when his best friend shows up in Oklahoma with an ultimatum—go freely with him to Minnesota or by court order— Jett knows he has little choice in the matter. But hell if he’s going to make it easy on any of the men who keep trying to convince him he’s family.
Two men running, one from the past, the other from the future…
Nothing about Sawyer and Jett makes sense. Not after their disastrous first meeting and most certainly not the white-hot chemistry that keeps pulling them together. Scarred minds and wounded souls are forgotten when desire takes over, but masks have a way of settling back into place for two men who have nothing real to hang on to.
Can Sawyer and Jett let the walls that are keeping them safe within themselves fall or will they miss out not only on each other, but the very thing the town of Pelican Bay is offering them?
A place to call home.

He’s known by many names, but he expects me to call him Master.
As the future DiFiore don, I should know more than anyone that we’re not the good guys, but when I catch an even more depraved man about to prey on an innocent woman, I lose sight of that just long enough to make the biggest mistake of my life.
The guy whose life I snuffed out happens to have been the district attorney’s son.
I’m suspect number one, and I’m guilty as sin. It stands to reason the only one who can save me is the devil himself.
His code name is Echo, but they call him the Ghost, and he’s the most notorious fixer in the business. The morally apathetic psychopath who’s willing to cover up any crime, no matter how heinous, as long as you’re willing to pay the price. Money is one thing, but one look in those gunmetal eyes and I’m pretty sure this guy wants more than that. He wants me, and I’m way too inclined to give it to him–body, mind, and soul.
I’m no stranger to the dark side, but he lives in places even the shadows are too afraid to touch. We’re as wrong as two people can be for each other, but when he touches me, I feel it–the embers of the darkness he’s awakened within me stirring. Calling.
What happens when the man who is contracted to fix everything is the man who’s destined to break me?
