BLURB:
Jericho wants nothing more than a normal life. Edward is as average as they come. Too bad things are never that simple.
As one of Zander’s team leaders, Jericho’s hard work is finally paying off. When he moved to the east coast to run the first cleanup crew on this side of the country, he stayed too busy to date. Plus, with a past like his, he’s not really relationship material. Now new teams are pouring in, and Jericho has all the free time to focus on his social life and the man he’s been eyeing for months from a distance, Edward. He can’t explain why, but he’s convinced Edward will accept everything about him. Maybe so, except Zander has a new plan for him that could upend all of that.
Edward didn’t know Jericho existed until two weeks ago. If he had, the gay panic would’ve been real because Edward is as plain and as boring as they come. He’s a librarian who gave up on love a long time ago. There’s no way someone who looks like Jericho is truly interested in him. Edward doesn’t mind having a new friend, though. He just wishes Jericho didn’t make his heart beat quite so fast. Oh, boy. He’s in trouble. More than he even realizes, especially when he learns what Jericho really does for a living.

Sure it was a long time ago, but people don’t change. Hayden might claim to have turned over a new leaf but his partying, messiness, and general wild living really isn’t a fit for my grown up, career focused lifestyle.
Hayden and I are friends. Even if we did get together, how could a green energy executive and cautious homebody like me ever make it work long term with an older, fast living, gas guzzling muscle car owner like Hayden?
I’ll never be able to change Hayden. We may fool around from time to time, and I think he’s got as many kinks as I do. But there won’t be a second chance for us and friendship is where it will always end…

BLURB:
Communication? No.
Hollis isn’t really that grumpy, but tell that to his face… and his voice… and his uncommunicative grunts. Tell that to any one of his exes. Just don’t tell his boys. They’d never stop laughing. His biggest regret, though, would have to be accidentally hurting Winston with his harsh ways. Winston, who had only ever been sweet and happy to see him. Winston who used to talk his ear off at the station when he stopped by on his mail route, regardless of the fact that Hollis hardly ever gave much in the way of return chatter and usually just sat there basking in his sweet, sweet attention. Fantasizing about a life with Winston.
Three months after the incident, and he’s still battling the guilt every time he catches a glimpse of the beautiful man he mentally refers to as an angel, and mourning his friendship. With every day that passes, Hollis becomes more and more convinced that romance is just a dream for him, and that he is going to end up dying alone. And worse, he doubts he’ll ever get to see the sweet smiles Winston used to shoot in his direction.
Winston is going to die a virgin. At thirty, telling someone that you’ve never so much a kissed anyone is beyond embarrassing, but what’s more embarrassing, is the fool he made of himself one drunken night three months before, when he tried to act on his infatuation with the chief of police, and ended up getting rejected by the surly man. Before then, Winston had always thought Hollis had at least tolerated his non-stop blathering when he stopped by on his mail route, but after that night, it had become clear to Winston that they were not on the same page, and he avoided the man as completely as he could, all but running out of a room if Hollis entered it, and changing his route up completely just to avoid running into him at the station.
Now, he’s not saying Mark Foster is the devil, but when a man smiles at you like that, while apparently stalking you with the help of his ever present best friend, companion and husband, Devon, maybe you should ben a bit more leery of striking up a deal. And that is how he finds himself stranded at Hollis’s cabin in the middle of a late snowstorm. Mark and Devon Foster, and their ridiculous schemes.

So on a stormy night, he arrives at a house in Southwark. Marathon Moll’s in the Mint – the bawdyhouse he worked in during his ascent and where he earned the name Blue Billy.
But is Marathon Moll’s a place from which to rise again? For there is one in the crowd, who catches his eye. Who takes his hand and promises something better.
Or does Moll’s signify a return to his roots? For one day, a second and very different young man raps on the door. Takes his hand and asks him to return to his past.
To the cat language of vagabonds. The canting dialect of thieves.
To the schemes, and the dreams, of his youth.

BLURB:
Fifteen years ago, several wolf pups were kidnapped by poachers to be illegally sold abroad. They were rescued by a Prince of the Blood, and the Wolves of the Moon vowed the debt would someday be repaid. Now of age, wolf Ilkay Thrace is determined to fulfill that vow. Before he can, though, the Wolves’ home high in the peaks of Dragon Claw Mountain is ravaged by an earthquake that reveals an ancient, forgotten temple—and awakens something dark and terrible in its depths. Now, instead of repaying their debt, the Wolves must once again ask the King’s Legion for help.
Despite the time that has passed since the Legion was nearly wiped out, their greatest strength, the Princes of the Blood remain few. It is one of their newest, Prince Dalibor, who is sent to evaluate and assist the Wolves. But Dalibor is born of a demon of wrath, his greatest power the ability to drive all living beings out of their minds with rage and fear. He is brash, loud, and reckless, even by the standards of the Legion, and the very last person that should be going into dark, treacherous caves containing ancient evil.

My name is Cassian Solis and I am a Hollywood fixer. That means I’m the one celebrities call whenever their reputations and careers are about to be ruined by a scandal. Whether it’s getting rid of a blackmailer, Photoshopping an offensive photo, faking a Hollywood romance, or burying bodies or secrets, I come in ready to save the day and their careers! With the help of my trusty assistant Tony Cruz, we make sure these elites don’t lose followers, future gigs, and roles or money.
But things get crazier than usual when someone puts a five million dollar bounty on my head. With my life on the line, and the list of enemies growing longer with every breath I take, it’s up to me to not only figure out who wants me dead but also save my clients from religious cults, blackmailers, and murder charges. Of course, it doesn’t help that my ex-husband decides to come back in town with an agenda.
You thought your life was crazy? Welcome to mine! The question is, will I survive it?
