When Theo runs out of Rolling Green after seeing me with the Flynns, I realize nothing means more to me than he does. Not the money, not the job, not my hatred for Walt Benedict, or even my love for my own family.

All I wanted was to live life on my terms, inspire others, and love Turner and Roark.

And then… my life shattered. Have I finally lost touch with reality?
Are the things I’m seeing just a figment of my imagination? I no longer know…
Did Roark and Turner really have me committed to Hidden Hills? Have they washed their hands of me like the doctors say? Love is supposed to conquer all, but the hospital staff keep showing me proof that my loves have moved on.

“You know what I love most about pleasure? It tears down all defenses.”
Whatever Morgan “Fitz” Fitzgerald wants is his, and he wants me. But he’s my boss. And one of my father’s oldest friends. And I thought I was straight before I met him. All of that should have stopped me from giving in to this ruthless, guarded man, but I found myself opening my broken heart to him, and now we’re trying to navigate a glamorous and toxic world of New York insiders, billionaires, socialites, and former lovers.
To help me find my place in it, Fitz wants to take charge, break me down, then remake me—but I don’t think I can handle being controlled by him at work, off work, and in a hedge maze of all places. I don’t want to be stuck in a cage wherever I go, obeying someone else’s every command. I want to lure Fitz out of the cage he built for himself, so we can roam free in any world.
Could this be the start of something real (my first relationship with a man and his first relationship ever)? Or will it just be the start of a hopeless addiction?

Travis Wyatt
All I’ve ever wanted was to go to college and get out of Kensley.That small town is all I’ve ever known. I want to be free to be myself, not stifled by small minds in the football-loving town where I grew up.
And then I blew my one and only chance.
So now, I’m just stuck. Stuck in small-town life, with the same small-town people I’ve always known. Stuck where I don’t want to be. Constantly on the defense and hiding secrets about myself. To never be the real me.
I’m lost, and I’m angry. But those people I was desperate to get away from, they don’t stop. They insist on showing me that maybe it’s not about my location.
That maybe I can be free right where I am.
Oakley Easton
Travis is way too uptight. I don’t know why. He has everything a guy could want—a steady job and friends who would do anything for him. A great simple, small-town life. But I guess that’s not what he wants.
He’s always been different. Better. Smarter. Stronger.
Still, I find myself wanting to show him everything he’s dreamed of is within his grasp. That he doesn’t have to be so serious all the time. That he can be himself wherever he is, and I’ll back him up.
Because that’s what I’m good at—on and off the field. I’ll always be his defender.
If he’d only let me.

The party comes to a screeching halt when I meet Ash. Shy, younger, virgin. He’s everything I’m not attracted to. Give me an experienced partner anyday.
But there’s something about him that makes me want to keep him. Maybe I want to stoke that fire I see in his eyes. Or maybe I’m just lonelier than I thought.

Can a forbidden love heal the rift between two enemy tribes?
Legend says that, centuries ago, the sled dogs and the Inuit were so deeply bonded that the dogs rose up on two legs and became men. The Qimmig and the People lived together happily until one of the Inuit betrayed the dog-men. The Qimmig fled, vowing never to return.
Taq figured that was just another story elders told around the campfire. But when he witnesses two guys survive a polar bear attack by shifting into dogs, he has to rethink everything. Could the Qimmig really exist? And could they have anything to do with the special, golden-eyed boy he’d played with as a child?
Cupun has missed his old friend, Taq. But it is forbidden for the Qimmig to have anything to do with one-skinned Inupiat. When a series of events brings Taq back into his life, the feelings of protectiveness and joy awakened in his dog’s heart tell him that Taq is his soul’s mate.
But neither the Qimmig nor the Inuit are prepared to accept this bond. Are the boys fated for tragedy? Or will their love find a way?

Jack
Here’s a suggestion in case you ever find yourself in the predicament of having to watch the guy you’ve been in love with for the past twenty years marry your ex-fiance:
Stay away from tequila.
Actually, just stay away from alcohol altogether. Put the grown-up pants on and just suck it up. Otherwise you might end up literally and figuratively spilling your guts in front of your ex’s best friend, who also happens to be your arch-nemesis.
I’ve known and disliked Alastor King since high school, and he’s the last person in the world I want knowing my secret. But instead of using the information to destroy my life, he makes me an offer: a month-long sex rehab, after which time he swears any feelings I have for my best mate will have magically vanished.
He thinks I’m too stuck in my ways and all I need to do to get over Trent is to venture out of my comfort zone by completing Alastor’s specially tailored kink list.
I figure it’s worth a go, even if the only thing I accomplish is proving Alastor wrong. But I’m not going to let him have all the power—while I’m checking off items on his list, he’s going to be completing one of mine.
Fire away.

Modern-day American “prince” Ellis Faraday has a problem: he’s been a frog for a year, his time before hibernation is ending, and he’s afraid there will be nothing left of him come spring. The castle-house up the hill seems like a promising place to start looking for a cure… if he can convince a human to take him seriously. A conversation—and maybe a kiss—with the pretty man who owns the koi pond might do the trick.
On a Friday night, Galen Townsend just wants to curl up and read in the backyard of the house he shares with his brothers, but the frog addressing him from the wall of the koi pond has him questioning his sanity. Moreso when he gives the frog a peck on the nose—just to be nice—and the frog becomes a handsome, precious man.
Unfortunately, Galen’s “cure” proves temporary. After a few hours, Ellis is back to hopping and croaking, but at least he has an ally and a warm place to stay. Now they just have to keep Galen’s brothers from discovering a frog in the house while they work out how to break the spell. How many kisses can it possibly take?

For Carver, being a mustang means a certain degree of freedom. Horses rarely mate, instead choosing a life of polyamory, where all the stallions care for the young and omegas, a society where love is free and open. They say it takes a village to raise a child, but every mustang knows it takes a band to raise a colt. When Carver shows up on their doorstep nursing off a single-souled mare, knock-kneed and weak. Their alpha, Bran Thornbriar knows just what to do, and Carver never knows a day without love, until the season of estrus comes. When spring ravages the Band, no alpha will touch Carver, so he seeks his love elsewhere. And elsewhere may have been right into the hands of the smexiest stallion he’s ever met, and of all the luck, he’s a unicorn.
Helios Eventide Moondust, Hell for short, firstborn alpha son of Morningsong of the Moon’s clan hasn’t been welcome in a blessing since he was fifteen, his horn snapped because he wasn’t interested in females. And what’s worse, the only two things unicorns tolerate less than being gay are omegas and strange colors, the impure that are to be sacrificed to the fae upon sight. So when Carver Thornbriar saunters his way into Hell’s bar, a beautiful mare with the blackest coat he’s ever seen, it’s love at first sight, and fate has wonderful things in store for the Thornbriar Band.

When an attempt to kiss his best friend becomes a prom night disaster, Elliot Dove’s confusion surrounding his sexuality is thrown into overdrive. Desperate for some clarity, Elliot turns to GlimpseTech, a company offering all over-sixteens a 44-second glimpse of what lies ahead. But Elliot’s Glimpse only makes him more confused, showing him in an intimate moment with Sebastian Glass, the ‘one gay kid’ in his year at school.
Seb, meanwhile, hates Glimpses, and blames the technology for his dad’s absence. But unlike the protesters picket-lining GlimpseTech headquarters, Seb has other things to worry about, like his mum’s depression and the man showing up at his house demanding money. Then he bumps into Elliot, and bumps into him again, until it seems the universe is pulling them together.
Despite the vast differences in their lives, Elliot and Seb find something they were missing in each other, and soon friendship blooms into something more. But tensions are growing in the outside world. Rumors of the so-called ‘Last Day’––the day beyond which no one has seen in their Glimpse––are causing widespread panic. With the end of the world an increasingly real prospect, a seemingly uncrossable class divide, and the secret of Elliot’s Glimpse a ticking time bomb, the universe may have other plans for Elliot and Seb.

When shy, reserved Clark decides to throw caution to the wind and join effusive and effervescent Beau on a series of “errands” across the Windy City, he never imagines that anything will really change, because nothing has in such a long time.

Something wicked this way comes…and it might be too late to stop it.
Xander Corey lives simply, sustainably, on the outskirts of Osprey, a small, quaint town in Upstate New York. He’s a librarian when the town’s budget can afford him, a good friend, kind neighbor, and also, a witch. And while that’s of no concern to anyone around him, there are others, non-humans, who have a vested interest in Xander’s family land. Xander knows something dark and dangerous is brewing. He’s just not quite sure what.
And that’s not the only mystery he’s dealing with. The new chief of police is, by turns, giving him heart palpitations and homicidal thoughts. Xander can’t decide if the gorgeous yet infuriating Lorne MacBain is on his side, or trying to drive him insane. Added to that, the man doesn’t believe in magic, and since that’s who Xander is, their future looks anything but bright.
But Lorne is not the unimaginative, stick-in-the-mud Xander thinks he is. And a rock to anchor him as his life is turning upside down is just the thing Xander needs. Now if only the two of them can stay alive…

I was one of the lucky ones.
At least that was what I’d been told my entire life. And maybe I was. Not many shifters will take in a foundling dragon the way my adoptive rabbit colony did. Only I was taken in but not accepted, and that sucked.
When my beau of two years left me to mate with another, it sucked. But I was used to it. No one stuck with me for long. What kind of life could he have with a dragon, after all? But this one extra stung when he informed me I should know by now that I might be “doable” but never “mateable.” If I wanted to find my forever love, I needed to make a change, and I did, by downloading the Male-Order Mates App.
Conri
Selling my successful bakery to a huge corporate conglomerate seemed like the best idea at the time.
Who doesn’t want to have enough money to live on comfortably for the rest of their life by the age of thirty-two? I hadn’t taken into consideration that my bakery was my life and, now that it was gone, I had no purpose. After finding a loophole in my contract, I decided to start living again…in a small town just outside a national park.
I loved my new town. The people were great, business was steady, and the location stunning. If only I had someone to share it with. That was when I overheard one of my regulars talking about the Male-Order Mates app. It was worth a try, right? But I forgot the number one caveat about eavesdropping: You never have the full story. In this case, that story included me being one of the only non-shifters in this place. Yikes.

Fire took out my business, my apartment and almost my life a few weeks back, and now I’m living in my best friend’s house while I rebuild, and he travels the world. He found his perfect match and now It’s time I found mine.
After years on my own, I want a family, but I have zero hope in finding my match while I’m still completely crushing on the hottest builder in the world, and to make matters worse, he’s now my roommate.
I thought sharing a house with Carter would help me get over him. I’d see why he’s never had a boyfriend, or anyone worth bringing around town. I’d discover all of his faults up close and squash the perfect god-like image I’ve cemented in my mind all these years.
Problem is, no matter what annoying habits I jot down on my list, the more time I spend with him the more I’m convinced Carter is everything I will ever need. Now I just have to figure out a way to tell him.
Carter
With Michael traveling the world, it’s just Lucas and me in his house while we rebuild the café, bakery, and apartment. I’m happy for Michael. I really am, but seeing another friend get their happy beginning shines a light again on the fact that I might never get mine.
I’m sick of being everyone’s best friend, yet no one’s boyfriend. I want my happy beginning too. I want someone to pick me. To want me. To love me.
So I do what any single guy would do, I sign up for speed dating. Blind dates suck but I’m never going to find the one if I don’t start putting myself out there.
The problem is, the more time I spend living with Lucas the more I realize, I don’t want any of these random hookups. I want the sweetest guy I’ve ever met. The one who bakes me cookies to make me smile. So now I have to figure out a way to show him I can be an awesome boyfriend. I can be his happy beginning if he will just give me a chance out of the friend zone.

BLURB:
When your imaginary boyfriend turns up in your hometown, marriage is the only option.
I’m not anti-relationship, but my life is good right now, and love is not a priority. Too bad my grandmother disagrees. People say she’s scary, and sure, some of her enemies went missing under mysterious circumstances, but she loves me and wants the best for me… which, right now, is marriage. The matchmaking is a lot, and she’s not letting up. What’s a demon to do except invent a long-distance boyfriend?
That backfires hard when the one-night stand I based my fake boyfriend on arrives in our tiny village. Garrett’s here to help our cut-off town assimilate with the rest of the Community of Species. He’s not expecting to find he has a boyfriend he knew nothing about.
It doesn’t take me long to convince him to agree to my new plan. I need the matchmaking to stop; he needs our insular little community to accept and trust him. The perfect solution: marriage. A business agreement with a time limit.
Just business.
Until he demands more. A sexy, nerdy hellhound in my bed isn’t a deal breaker.
But as we get closer to our end date, it gets harder for me to imagine life without him. And when my little cousin goes missing, it’s Garrett who saves the day… and reveals secrets the village didn’t know we had.

Especially once Jameson walks into my life. Our new bartender accepts me effortlessly for who I am, and the man is more than easy on the eyes. In fact, the way he looks out for me is giving me all sorts of ideas, even though those cuddles were purely platonic. Weren’t they?

Brent Riddick has been up to his armpits in work ever since he started his job as the Truman School’s manager. He admits he probably qualifies as a workaholic, although he doesn’t really care. He’s simply more comfortable standing in front of a board meeting than sitting in a cocktail lounge and has no desire to examine his lack of a social life. So it isn’t a big deal to him that he sorta forgets it’s his birthday. Unfortunately his staff, led by the hotel’s sexiest troublemaker, Guthrie, remembers the occasion and Brent is begrudgingly forced to allow his co-workers to take him out for drinks. However, when all those birthday drinks go to Brent’s head and he ends up going home with an equally drunken Guthrie, things get a little more complicated.
Guthrie Walker is the kind of guy who always knows where the next party is happening. He also has a Plan B Party and a Plan C Party if his original party plans fall through. He’s still young and figures there’ll be plenty of time later to get serious about life. Drinking and dancing with his friends is definitely more fun than dealing with his messed up finances or dwelling on the festering rift with his family. So what if he occasionally drinks a little too much, does a few club drugs, comes in late to work a time or two, and suffers from an almost perpetual hangover? Everyone does it, right? Too bad the judge overseeing his case after Guthrie is arrested for drug possession doesn’t see things that way.
As if things weren’t messy enough, the court-ordered Diversion Plan requires Guthrie to enlist the help of his supervisor at work – who also happens to be one of Guthrie’s many one-night stands – if he wants to stay out of jail, retain his server’s license, and not lose his job. The hotel is already short-staffed and Brent is too much of a softie to say no to his desperate subordinate. Which is how Brent ends up vouching for Guthrie and agreeing to monitor his compliance with the court’s mandates. Now Brent just has to come up with a way to divert the party boy’s attention away from his club-scene past and himself away from lusting after his hot mess employee.

All my life I’ve had fantasies that I’m ashamed of. Things that I want to share with my husband, but every time I try, it’s like I can barely breathe. Harrison knows that I have a daddy kink, and he’s doing his best to lean into it, but I can tell that there’s something missing for him. Couple that with the fact that even after all this time together, I can barely take him, and I feel like a total failure who can’t even please Daddy the way he needs. And if I told Harrison what I dream about because of that… I don’t know if we’d survive it.
I want to be the Daddy that Loren needs.
My husband and I are happy, but I know there’s more that Loren wants out of me. He wants me to be the dominant Daddy he’s always fantasized about, and I’ve tried to be that, but I know I’m failing miserably at it. When a crisis at the art museum we built together means we have to focus on saving the biggest fundraiser in three states, it’s almost a relief that we have to focus on something else. That is until the only way forward we can find is to roll the dice on a talented sous chef with almost no reputation to speak of: Kody Chavez. The boy that might wake Loren and I up, or ruin us forever.
I’ve played with couples before and been burned every time.
When Harrison and Loren accept my desperate bid to cater the Seven Crows Gala event, the pressure is enough to kill me. It could be the key to everything I’ve wanted for my career. So I know I shouldn’t get sucked into their lives, that I shouldn’t mix business with pleasure, that I need to focus on convincing some of the wealthiest people in the Pacific Northwest that I’m worth taking a chance on and ignore everything else. But Harrison has the potential to be the perfect switch Daddy I’ve always wanted, and Loren craves the kind of humiliation that I rarely get to deliver. The problem is, neither of these two men knows what the other really wants. If I get in the middle of that, I could ruin their marriage, my shot at a once-in-a-lifetime career move, and get my heart broken when they decide they no longer need me to be their experiment in kink.
I’m supposed to be the next top chef, not Daddy’s Other Boy. But I don’t know if I can help myself. And I certainly don’t know if I’m making the worst decision of my life or the only one that matters.

Tahlen is oath-bound to protect Zelli with his body and his life, but that oath says nothing about accompanying Zelli on a forbidden journey, or offering countless acts of service to the smallest and most useless member of the Tialttyrin family.
Zelli has no idea what to make of that and little time to think on it. His fae blood has started to act up in the most embarrassing ways, dangers from outside are creeping in like the fog the valley is known for, and the confusing stirring in his heart when Tahlen is near seems to be getting stronger.
As Zelli glimpses the warmth beneath Tahlen’s stony exterior, he grows closer to understanding his own feelings and how far he will go to keep Tahlen’s sacrifice from ever being necessary. It will take all of his quick thinking and generous nature, as well as some help from the unseen fae, but Zelli of the Tialttyrin will protect his people, his family, and above all, Tahlen.

THE PRINCE
Prince Nikolai isn’t used to following the rules. As the youngest child, he has lived life with few responsibilities and plenty of adventure. But when a party leads to a romp in the gardens with a handsome shifter, Nikolai may have bitten off more than he can chew. What he thought was one night of wild fun may mean much more than he’s prepared to give.
THE WOLF
Soren attended the human ball grudgingly as a show of goodwill. As the next in line to be Pack, he was chosen to be their representative. He expected it to be an unpleasant affair, but instead, he found his fated mate. Prince Nikolai is wild, fun, and full of passion. But he is also non-committal and criminally irresponsible.
It’s not entirely a surprise when Nikolai runs after their bond has been made. But Soren needs more than a mate who he has to chase. Can Nikolai prove that he is worthy enough to be at his alpha’s side? And can their bond become more than either could have longed for?

BLURB:
Rob Walters is a petty criminal with few morals and even less magic. The mage is trying to become a better person but being a saint doesn’t pay the bills. He’s tempted to resort to dirty tricks during a moment of weakness in a supernatural club when an incubus finds him and gives him an offer he can’t refuse… a job offer.
When a deadly sex demon starts draining people and dropping bodies, Orion Lennox will do anything to stop the rogue predator that gives their kind a bad name. He’ll even team up with a loud-mouth mage. Rob is uniquely qualified to help and possibly the most ridiculous person in the world, so keeping things professional shouldn’t be a problem. Even so, the growing magical and sexual connection between them is hard to resist.
Catching this monster is Rob’s best chance to do good and start over. Learning what makes mysterious, unbelievably sexy Orion tick is a nice incentive too. But his previous encounter with the killer they’re after nearly destroyed him, and this time, the monster just might finish the job…
