A Little who can’t trust. A Daddy who won’t love. Until they meet each other…

Sammy Tully recently came out of an abusive relationship. His last so-called ‘Daddy’ didn’t even deserve to be called by that name. Now, submissive Sammy – a talented but chaotic interior designer – can’t trust anyone except his two best Little friends, Kurt and Damon. Most of the time that’s enough. His sense of fun is more than catered for by the mischievous duo. But sometimes… Sammy wants more.

Dr. Adonis Ranger is a gruff workaholic who never lets himself get too close to people. As a kink-allied therapist, he spends his days helping others with their intimate problems. But his knowledge of BDSM is purely academic. He doesn’t live the lifestyle himself. And until he meets one special patient, he doesn’t even know he’s a Daddy yet.

When a cute, innocent Little shows up for therapy, Adonis goes above and beyond to offer guidance. He orders Sammy to follow a strict routine as part of his treatment. But when Sammy abruptly ends the therapy, Adonis thinks he’ll never see him again. However, a chance meeting at the local BDSM club throws Sammy and Adonis back together – under very different circumstances.

Can they work out how to give each other what they so desperately need? Can Sammy handle Adonis’ stern hand of discipline? Can Adonis allow his feelings to blossom for this Little? Or, when an old, dangerous face turns up trying to destroy everything, can their trust – and love – withstand the ultimate test?

LENGTH: 339

RELEASE DATE: 10/4/2022

BLURB:

The fates say all three of them belong together, like broken pieces of carnival glass just itching for a bit of glue, and the fates are never wrong, are they? Graham doesn’t think so, but convincing Zane and Cormac of that might take words never covered in his anatomy books.

One season: that’s the longest Zane stays anywhere. When the snow thaws and the pass is clear, he and his band will limp out of town in their battered RV, leaving Graham and his bruised heart behind, unless he can find a way to convince Zane to take a chance on something no one has ever taken the time to explain to him.

Bond marks might be a desire for some wolves, but for Zane, they mean the end of the only family he’s ever known. On stage, he’s not the pup some angry wolf tossed out an open window, he’s Z—wild, charismatic, nymphomaniac lead singer of Howling Rain. His aftershow activities are what put the bond marks on his wrists in the first place, much to the dismay of his bandmates who fear that those other kinds of mates will be the end of the success they’ve found together.

It’s up to Graham to teach them all that compromise and understanding are a big part of the mating process, and that their found families can be expanded to fit a couple more wolves. After all, the attraction is there, and in those soft, cuddly moments where Z fades and Zane emerges, all their little wolf wants is cuddles, warm blankets, and lots of love.

But since I met Erik, and was asked to join his band Hellsbane, that knowledge hurts worse.

No heart (even Erik’s) or dick (even Erik’s) is big enough to carry me past my limits, but God, I wish there was a way.

Erik

Life’s damned unfair when a guy with the voice of a hard-rock angel and a songwriting talent like Cam’s can only post anonymous videos online. But you can’t cure anxiety with wanting, or willpower. My drummer needs to quit trying to push Cam onstage with us before he breaks.

Dr. Edwin Pictou couldn’t say why he hired the young omega lynx to clean his house, but Jonah had ensnared him at first sight, and now, even though he really doesn’t need a housekeeper, the thought of letting Jonah go is unsettling. When Edwin comes home to find the omega—who he’s started to think of as his own—in heat, he realizes there is more at play than he first thought.

The Wong family’s magical bakery has helped the Shifters, Vampires, Witches, and other magical creatures around Graves Academy for hundreds of years with their sweet, enchanted confections that can fix any problem.

Leveret Wong, a half Warlock, half Beta Shifter born in the Year of the Rabbit is set to take over the bakery with his gifts for spell casting and whipping the perfect raspberry buttercream. But before he can do that, his parents expect him to get his degree and find a mate, so naturally they enroll him (without asking) into the dark, enchanted, and mysterious Graves Academy. It doesn’t take long before the magic baker’s peaceful life of charmed Energy Macaroons and Murder Cupcakes is thrown into chaos by his devious Snake Shifter Professor, Jun Shen, and the new hire at the bakery, Dog Shifter Eliot Rand.

Eliot Rand came to Graves for one reason: to find his fated mate, the Rabbit shifter of the Zodiac. All he wants is to reject him once and for all and free himself of this unwanted destiny. When he manages to get a part time job working besides Levy, however, he starts to realize there may be more to the draw of fated mates than he realized–especially when that mate is as cute, passionate, nerdy, and awkward as his bunny shifter coworker. But as much as he wants to leave his past behind, protecting his cute mate from those who would harm him may have him dredging up a feral side he wasn’t ready to share.

As both men’s lives grow more and more intertwined, Eliot will come to understand that there’s more to being a half shifter and more to Levy’s fear of Alphas and intimacy than he’ll ever understand, and Levy will come to find that here’s more to the curse of a full blooded Chinese Zodiac Shifter than he’s been taught. The Full Moon’s light heightens the powers and desires of all the Devil’s creatures, and they’ll both have a lot of dark realities to face if they want to reach the dawn’s light.

In a tiny Vermont town, two men are about to discover the joys of falling in love all over again.

Taliesin Wadleigh has lived in Couton-on-the-River for his entire life. Six of those twenty-six years he spent with the first man who had ever captured his heart. Those times were the happiest of his life and then, without warning, his fiancé was taken from him. Physically, at least. Spiritually, Carmichael is still in that whimsical shop with his beloved. Having a charming spirit close at hand to share late night tea with has helped heal Taliesin’s aching heart, and he’s happy spending his days selling antiques to tourists and avoiding the outside world and all those who inhabit it. Or so he tells himself…

Then a tall, handsome stranger walks into his shop and Taliesin, as well as Carmichael, senses that their life—and perhaps their afterlife—is going to change dramatically.

When Eason Dunne retired from professional baseball two years ago, he had plans. Amazing plans. Happy plans. Two years after he hung up his cleats, all those glorious ambitions have fizzled. He’s now divorced and flitting from one project to another, hoping to find…something special. Inheriting an old inn in some one horse—pardon him, one moose—town in Vermont was not at all something special. Lacking anything else of meaning in his life, he makes the trip from Las Vegas to Couton-on-the-River to try his hand at innkeeping. It’s in this little tourist trap that he wanders into the local antiquity shop and meets the eclectic, bespeckled, adorable owner. A man with somewhat offbeat taste in furnishings, a cross-eyed cat, a seemingly haunted radio, and one rather protective ghost.

Eason isn’t sure what to make of the situation or his attraction to the skinny man in the bow tie, but when danger threatens Taliesin, both men who love him are going to have to work together to save him.

It should be easy to remember rules aren’t meant to be broken, and certain lines aren’t meant to be crossed, but the only thing that’s easy is falling totally, completely in love with Pax.

Because this time… the man isn’t just his witness… he’s the omega of his dreams.
