BLURB:

Sometimes the last place you want to be is the place you belong.

Alpha Cheetah shifter Kenny loves life at the shore. Not once has he thought about going back to his small town roots. One letter from a lawyer later, and everything changes. Springfield might not be where he longs to be, but it’s exactly where he’s heading. He plans to take care of business and head back to the coast before high season begins. All he has to do is sell a house—how hard can that be?

Omega Tyler moved to Springfield to fill in as an adjunct mathematics professor after his dream job in the city was cut. He doesn’t mind the small town vibe, but he’s lonely. Going from a bustling city to the middle of nowhere where everyone knows everyone and you’re simply “the new guy” is not an easy transition. But his job is fulfilling and his new rental home adorable. He can’t complain—that is until the owner of said rental sends him a thirty-day notice out of the blue.

When Tyler overhears some of his students talking about a dating app Love & Hate he figures he has nothing to lose; it might even distract him from his apartment hunting woes. Tyler instantly matches and connects with someone else new in town. It seems too good to be true and it sort of is, his smexy date also being the person evicting him.

BLURB:

I’m his little sister’s best friend. He’s the lead singer of the world’s biggest rock band.

Four years ago; Killian Hampton (the blued-eyed boy I had been in love with since forever) found me bleeding, broken, and hiding in his treehouse and it changed everything. He knows I play for the other team; but up until that moment, I wasn’t aware that he did.

Stolen kisses, dirty secrets, out of town dates, everything had to be hidden behind closed doors. What we did in the dark could not been seen in the light. I didn’t want to hide; but I wanted him, and was willing to play by his rules if it meant I got to keep him. For a little while… before he shattered my life into pieces.

Now Killian’s back; only he’s different.

Empty. Mean. Dejected. Worn-out.

I try to stay away. He’s the villain in my story, no longer the hero. I attempt to convince myself the love I felt is gone; until it’s too late, and I start to drown all over again.

This book contains dark themes that might be triggering. It contains self-harm, drug and alcohol abuse, mental health issues, as well as LGBTIAQ+ hate that some readers might find troubling. Please read at your own risk. This is a love story first and always between two troubled boys who found one another when they needed it most.

But failure is not an option for Dom, and soon he finds himself at a crossroads:

Follow his father’s orders and leave Luca to the wolves, or defy the boss and get back what he lost.

The question is, will Luca choose to trust Dom to keep him safe even after all he’s put him through, or will he put his future in the hands of his long-lost family instead?

As the war between enemies reaches its breaking point, both Dom and Luca face the most difficult decision of their lives.

Do they fight for their families or do they fight for each other?

RELEASE DATE: 8/29/2022

BLURB:

The only goal Prince Syrius Fortune of Rosenhip had during his twin sister’s “meet the suitors” ball, was to stay quiet and out of the way. His sister’s event had been in the planning for five years, and he and his loving father had already agreed trying to seek a wedding contract for himself was not a good idea. Prince Syrius had quirks, and it wasn’t as though he needed to open himself up to ridicule from someone else, especially a spouse he would have to get to know. The event was only a week, and being a lot smaller than his older brothers, Syrius was used to not being seen. Until someone did see him.

King Mintyn of Marinkaw had been a soldier since he was fifteen years old. He was not impressed to find out the one time of the year he was supposed to be meeting King Fortune to sign their Golden Straits agreement was apparently the one time his friend decided to have a huge event going on. However, his aide told him he had been invited, and it was only one ball. Mintyn could enjoy some good food, network a while, and then leave the following morning once the treaty was signed.

That was until he saw a young vision being hassled by an entitled duke. On learning the vision being hassled was his friend’s youngest son, Mintyn decided to intervene. It was the nice thing to do. One shortened dance later as Prince Syrius walked away from him after he put his foot in his mouth, Mintyn told his aide to rejiggle his schedule. He had a spouse to woo.

Werewolf meets human. Werewolf snubs human. Werewolf loves human?

Julien Doran arrived in sleepy Maudit Falls, North Carolina, with a heart full of hurt and a head full of questions. The key to his brother’s mysterious last days might be found in this tiny town, and now Julien’s amateur investigation is starting to unearth things the locals would rather keep buried.

Perhaps most especially the strange, magnetic manager of a deserted retreat that’s nearly as odd as its staff.

Eli Smith is a lot of things: thief, werewolf, glamour-puss, liar. And now the manager of a haven for rebel pack runaways. He’s spent years cultivating a persona to disguise his origins, but for the first time ever he’s been entrusted with a real responsibility—and he plans to take that seriously.

Even if the handsome tourist who claims to be in town for some R & R is clearly on a hunt for all things paranormal. And hasn’t taken his brooding gaze off Eli since he’s arrived.

When an old skeleton and a fresh corpse turn a grief errand into a murder investigation, the unlikely Eli is the only person Julien can turn to. Trust is hard to come by in a town known for its monsters, but so is time…

A long time ago, in a suburban high school not so far away, a closeted nerd (me) and a closeted soccer star (Hutch) fell in love and planned to make their public debut at prom. Until Hutch bailed at the last minute, leaving me with a broken heart and unworn tuxedo. Tale as old as time, right?

I spent the past ten years working to forget Hutch, returning to our old high school to teach and make new memories that could erase ones of him. I thought Hutch was ancient history, off living his professional athlete life. But he’s suddenly back in Sourwood, coaching soccer at South Rock High, and sexy as ever. Just when I’d gotten over him, we’re now colleagues.

As Hutch leads the soccer team to victory once again, and we find ourselves trading stolen glances in the halls, it feels like a reboot of our high school bad romance. Especially after a late night encounter where I find myself climbing him like the rope in gym class. Oops.

Hutch wants to give us another try, but what if history is doomed to repeat itself?

His curse can only be lifted with true love, but can true love come from a fake date?

Being the personal assistant to a trio of cursed gargoyle brothers who sleep for a hundred years and wake up for twenty-five wasn’t a career proposed by Josh’s high school guidance counselor, but it’s a job that he’s eminently suited for. Not to mention a job his family has been doing for generations. The brothers are truly excellent bosses, but Josh is surprised when Drew offers to pretend to be his date for his high school reunion. And even more surprised by a supposedly fake kiss that feels as real as a kiss can get.

Drew and his brothers owe Josh and his family for watching over them each time they turn to stone for a hundred years, and for helping them reintegrate into the world when they wake up. The least he can do is pose as Josh’s boyfriend for a night. Even though true love can break his curse, he knows he won’t find it with Josh. Nothing that real can come from a lie. Or can it?

When the fake boyfriend situation stretches into two nights, and then more, Josh and Drew can’t fight the attraction blazing between them. There’s no harm in exploring it, right? No expectations. But when paranormal danger comes to Arrington, Josh and Drew are going to have to battle for every moment of peace…and maybe a real happily ever after too.

Hugo’s calling thinks differently, demanding he leaves for the remote island of Kara-Enys without Charles.

That news should be shattering, but if Charles Heppel has one thing going for him, it’s that he’s relentlessly optimistic. And romantic. Most islands have beaches, don’t they? He’ll join Hugo to have the honeymoon first on their own version of Love Island. They can get married later!

How do you love someone when you don’t know what love is?

I’m not sure what I was thinking when I let The Beast take me home with him. High on endorphins and out of options isn’t the best time for decision making, but I work with what I have. And now I have a Daddy, I guess.

Until I screw it up.

Yeah, my old life was awful, but at least I knew how to handle it. I’m not used to being taken care of, and feeling good is not my comfort zone. Even when everything I want is right in front of me, I can still manage to be a total mess. Just what every guy wants.

But Caleb doesn’t get mad when I lash out and push him away— he gets gentle. And stern. And reminds me in no uncertain terms just who I belong to now. Says he’s not going anywhere no matter what I do.

The more I learn about him, the more I’d like to believe him, but I’ve got problems he can’t begin to imagine. Ones a lot bigger than homework that keep popping up and ruining things. Ruining me.

The smart thing to do is get my grades back on track and take off. My past is never going to leave me alone, and my future seems more confusing than ever now that I’m having these feelings.

Turns out I like being cuddled and cared about and kept in line, no matter how much I try to fight it. Turns out I like Caleb. A lot.

But, happy endings don’t happen for guys like me.

BLURB:

Detective Ray Branigan protects his chosen city of Los Cerros. Whatever feelings he has on how he is treated as a werewolf in a police department of mostly humans, Ray keeps to himself for the sake of being what he is supposed to be and doing what he thinks he is supposed to do.

…Until he wakes up in an alley with a headache, magic tingling in his nose, and no memory of the half-fairy in front of him claiming to be his mate. Ray does not have a mate, yet his instincts tell him this is right—and that something else is very wrong.

Werewolves who lose their mates get self-destructive or violent. But a miscalculation in the spell used against him has temporarily spared Ray that fate. While he still can, he has to find who did this to him, and why, and try not to get too distracted by the brilliant half-fairy who smells like home.

Callalily “Cal” Parker is beautiful, clever—and far too careful when discussing their past. Fairies are supposed to speak the truth, but maybe Cal is right to hide it from Ray, since the pack Ray has fought so hard to believe in, the police, seem to have abandoned him, and, his instincts whisper, cannot be trusted now, which means that maybe Ray shouldn’t be trusted either.

But the spell is still at work, weakening even a werewolf’s strength. When Ray can no longer fight off the magic, will he become the monster so many think he is, or the hero that his mate insists he must be—that he wants to be, to save himself, and help his city, and make his Callalily proud?

Thousands of students on this campus, and I keep being set up with the roommate I can’t stand.

Felix

One date.

That’s how long it takes for Marshall Harrows to end up on my bad side.

Luckily I have no plans to see the giant teddy bear again. Except, when he shows up as my new roommate, I can’t escape him, and he’s just as irritating as I thought he’d be.

He leaves cupboards ajar and puts empty milk cartons back in the fridge. His bedroom door is always open, I find his underwear on the laundry floor, and he has this whole bashful sweetheart thing going on that I just … can’t … stand.

But the most completely, horribly irritating thing about him, is that he’s totally my type.

And my friends won’t stop setting us up on blind dates.

Marshall

One date.

That’s how long it took for Felix Andrews to steal my heart.

The sparky little spitfire is everything I’m not. Confident, adorable, and completely outspoken.

He also wants nothing to do with me. Which is a real problem when I want to give him everything. Including my virginity.

But the more I try to gain his attention, the more I see the real him. The one who doesn’t feel worthy of being treated like anything other than a one-night stand. So I decide to take matters into my own hands.

A total do-over. One night. One date. Where hopefully I can steal his heart too.

BLURB:

I see my future in your eyes…

Stefan: What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas. For me, not so much. I woke up with a husband. Yes, it was legal even though I don’t remember saying I do. And yes, I wanted to keep him even though he was older, richer, and way out of my league. Did I mention richer? Oh, and there was the tiny issue about me still being a virgin but it’s not like I planned it that way. I decided to pretend like I wasn’t scared about staying married to a man I barely knew because he gave me butterflies. He asked for chance to get to know me, and even though I wasn’t out (to anybody), I said yes.

I’d already said I do, so I would…do.

Antony: I never believed in love at first sight. It always struck me as an excuse to rush into a relationship. But the moment I met Stefan, it was like a piece I didn’t know was missing clicked into place. After years of putting my family and our company first, the time had come to live for myself. And my first order of business was to win the heart of the man I married. We’d done things a little backwards, true, but I was determined to woo him. He deserved the world and I wanted nothing more than to give it him.

But would I be able to prove I was worth keeping?

Spencer Atreus.

Gorgeous movie star, workaholic, and the ultimate laid back, can’t-help-but-love-him kind of guy.

Oh, did I mention gorgeous?

But the reason I, Westley Lee, hid my attraction to the man was two-fold.

I loved my job. As his personal assistant, he depended on me and I’d come to crave being wanted by him, even though it wasn’t exactly as I imagined. Also, being part of his life, even in the peripheral, was better than not being with him at all. And while it screamed desperation on my part, every intimate thought I had about him was locked in the recesses of my mind as I kept up appearances.

Until one night changed everything.

Seeing Spencer in pain crumbled all the walls I’d built between us to protect my heart. And in a moment of pure weakness, he saw through my barriers and I was unable to keep him in the dark about my feelings.

But will we find our happily ever after when a threat endangers our entire future?

When he tells me his Stroker Rod is broken… What kind of mechanic am I if I don’t get hands-on with his problem?
