PUBLISHER: Self Published
LENGTH: 274
RELEASE DATE: 3/28/2022
BLURB:
To win this election, I should be trying to kiss babies, not my best friend!
My chances of reelection have gone from slam dunk to nose dive.
What happened? A former hookup sold me out to the press, complete with screenshots. In my defense, between being mayor and parenting twins (double the puberty!), I have zero room for relationships that go beyond one night.
My campaign manager says I need to change the narrative, aka get a boyfriend ASAP to make me seem more (ugh) likeable. The only person I trust with this ruse is my charming best friend Dusty.
Despite living 3,000 miles apart, thanks to endless text chains and 2 a.m. phone calls, we’ve been the constant in each other’s lives, navigating through single dad fails (me) and breakups with cruel ex-girlfriends (all him).
Each day we spend as fake boyfriends feels more real, which is odd because Dusty is straight.
And yet our playful banter is shifting from friendly to flirty.
And he doesn’t stop holding my hand when the crowds leave.
And was he always this attractive?
With reporters sniffing for the truth, exploring these feelings could mean the implosion of my political career and our friendship.

“Be a good boy. You’re my new toy.”
LUCA
I lost my place in this world when he rescued me. But I never asked to be saved. Until everything I knew in this world changed for the worse, and I needed putting back together. Would he save me now that I needed him?
For my entire life, I’d been taken care of by rich, powerful, and very dangerous men. And when I needed a Daddy the most, they’d all moved on. Except one, and I’d be betraying my people if I went to him. But could I resist a man willing to give me what I needed?
HUGO
As leader of the Sanguis Shadow Pack, it’s my job to clean up the supernatural scum who threaten the centuries old syndicate. And that leaves some people without a place in this world, even after saving them. Could I keep my emotions from getting in this way with this one?
I’d watched him struggle and fall flat on his face, but he didn’t want me—or my help. I was stubborn and willing to wait, because I knew he was meant to be mine. But would he give in and be my boy?
Were we fated mates, destined for each other, or just caught in whirlwind of give and take?

Like all Necromancers, Cassius Corbin grew up knowing one irrevocable truth: death comes for us all. It was a lesson he learned well when his mother was murdered by fellow witches. Six years later, he is back in the town of Winslow, Massachusetts to attend Tennebrose University. But that’s not the only reason. While he’s home, he intends to track down a magical folio stolen from his family centuries ago. Once he finds it, he’ll finally be everything the witches in Winslow fear and the Corbin name will be respected once again — as long as Graeme Hewitt, the son of his family’s archenemy, stays out of his way.
As the first weather witch born in a century, the witches in Winslow demand great things from Graeme Hewitt, despite his thoughts on the matter. He’s supposed to be their future, but all Graeme can think about is the past — until the infuriating Cassius Corbin returns. In spite of the blood feud that has raged for centuries between their families, Graeme finds himself in the unfortunate situation of needing Cassius’s help. Six years ago, Graeme’s little brother also died and Graeme wants the truth about what happened that day. So who better to answer his questions than the son of the woman who murdered him?

RELEASE DATE: 3/28/2022
BLURB:
Every desire has a price. I’m willing to pay with everything I have. But even then, it might not be enough.
Our story starts the way all good ones do—with a fight. My right hook and his split eyebrow. My bruised knuckles and his growled curses. The setting: my private box at the New York City Ballet. Opening night.
He’s May, I’m December. And we were impossible from the moment we met.
He’s just beginning his life—the new prince of ballet, an orphan turned star—while I’m in the prime of mine.
I’m a United States Senator, the heir to Ashford Holdings. But I’m no one, not really. Not until him.
From the outside, I have the perfect life, but inside it’s hell.
Kolya is a bad decision. Young, beautiful, and a man.
But he’d never slow danced at a jazz club or ridden a roller coaster or driven a car till he met me. He’d never slept on soft sheets or been held all night. Never been known, never been wanted. Not the way I want him.
There are some things you want, but you can’t have. I need to forget about him, return to real life and leave him in fantasy.
But that’s impossible now that I’ve had a taste.
I’m willing to tear my life apart for the one person that makes it seem worth living.

A man isn’t defined by the worst moments in his past, but they can be hard as hell to leave behind.
Fresh starts are overrated. I’ve lived in Gaynor Beach my whole life, and I’m damn proud of it. I miss my wife like hell, and a grumpy mechanic may not make the best single dad, but the kids and I are doing okay right here. They’re not complaining—maybe because they’re never home. Teenagers.
Then a fresh start falls into my lap when the hottest man I’ve ever seen has his car quit on him. And if I can’t forget the feel of his arms around me when he rode on the back of my bike…well, nobody needs to know that except me.
But now Micah’s introducing me to worlds I’ve never been a part of before, or even imagined I could be. Worlds with ropes and explosive chemistry and adventures much bigger than our rides in the Southern California sunshine. Being with him feels like the biggest risk I’ve ever taken—and not everyone in town wants us to take this chance together.
I hope we can hang on when the ride gets bumpy.

Deacon James lives his life at two speeds, a hundred miles an hour and stop. He’s spent the last decade travelling the world, winning races, partying with the most beautiful men and women, and living life on his terms, a life which was pretty close to perfect… with just one caveat… he’s never quite been able to get over the boy he left behind. His best friend Jesse has always made him yearn for something he’s too afraid to face and cutting him out of his life seemed like the only answer.
But things are never that simple. When Deacon wakes from an accident in Italy with Jesse asleep in the hospital chair beside him, he discovers Jesse’s been keeping secrets of his own.
At a crossroads in their life, they’re faced with a choice, build something deeper and stronger from the ashes, or let words unsaid and secrets tear them apart forever.

BLURB:
You wanted a nemesis, Glenn Rasmussen? You got one.
I’ve already failed their pottery class once, and when they wouldn’t let me sign up for summer school, they officially went on my shit list. And that was before they ridiculously suggested that I might have ADHD.
Yes, I’m still staring at their tattoos in class, and yes, their sense of style is enviable, and yes, when I hear them play their bass, my soul leaves my body a little bit. But that doesn’t change anything; they’re still annoying AF.
Every attempt to be nice just ends up making things worse. I scraped together my first project and blew up my second one. My final project is still sitting on the wheel as the minutes tick down on our final class, and I don’t know how to finish the damn thing.
If I can’t pass this class, I’m screwed. If I can’t stay away from my instructor, I’m still screwed…but in a very different way.
If you like neurodiversity, bonding over thrift store fashion, and teacher-student without the power games, grab this steamy, queer romance now! This second book in the Portland Symphony series is best enjoyed in order, but can be read as a standalone. CW for mentions of transphobia regarding uniforms and past self-harm.

I did something stupid.
Something needlessly, hopelessly, stupid and now my past is catching up with me. I knew when I saw that bank account I should have left it alone, but I needed the cash. And doesn’t the world owe me a little bit of luck? A little reprieve from the constant BS?
Sorry. I can’t help but to rant about my situation because the truth is that I am royally screwed. You see, I stole money from the mob. One stupid decision made in the heat of the moment and now I’m running for my life. A friend gave me enough money to hide…
But he’s coming for me.
Amadeo wants to possess everything that I am and punish me for what I’ve done. Maybe I could take that if he wasn’t so intent on making me call him ‘Daddy’. And maybe I wouldn’t care about that title, if it didn’t make me tingly all over. But I despise him and I always will. No matter what my stupid body…and heart…has to say.

And for a long while now, lovers.
Davesh knows the ins and outs of Zed—how to make him laugh, what makes him moan, and the look in his eyes when he sees something he wants.
And the way he looks at their new goalie? It’s the same look Zed gave him right before their first kiss that changed everything.
But the thing is, Davesh wants too.
Still, wanting is far easier than having, especially when it comes to Kevin.
Fighting to earn his place on the team and get them to the Stanley Cup, Kevin doesn’t have time for distractions. Even if those two distractions are everything he’s ever wanted, wrapped up in a tidy bow.
In spite of how well Davesh and Zed have taken care of him since he started with the Phantoms, Kevin isn’t sure he can handle the two men who are so big, and so bright, and so full of love. He’s not sure he’s ready for it, and more importantly, he’s not sure he deserves everything they have to offer.

It’s been a few years since we were together, but I can’t stop thinking about the time we almost…
Wren Roland has never been kissed, but he wants that movie-perfect ending more than anything. Feeling nostalgic on the eve of his birthday, he sends emails to all the boys he (ahem) loved before he came out. Morning brings the inevitable Oh God What Did I Do?, but he brushes that panic aside. Why stress about it? None of his could-have-beens are actually going to read the emails, much less respond. Right?

Everyone claims he’s coasting on cinematic good looks and his father’s connections, but Wren has always known there’s much more to Derick than meets the eye. Too bad he doesn’t feel the same way about the infamous almost-kiss that once rocked Wren’s world.
Whatever. Wren’s no longer a closeted teenager; he can survive this. But as their hazy summer becomes consumed with a special project that may just save the struggling drive-in for good, Wren and Derick are drawn ever-closer…and maybe, finally, Wren’s dream of a perfect-kiss-before-the-credits is within reach.
