Harry grew up around money. The best schools, yachts, and summers in Europe were the norm. But what Harry never had was anyone who understood or accepted him for who he truly was. Harry left home on his eighteenth birthday and never looked back…
Harry has spent the last couple of years travelling from town to town, searching for a place to settle. Another job ends with Harry being fired and he jumps on the overnight bus to Little Rapids more in hope than expectation of finally finding his forever home – and who knows, maybe even a Forever Daddy.
Cooper Nails is ex-military. Cooper is a gruff, decorated veteran who served his country with honor and pride – and has the scars and tattoos to prove it. Cooper has never, ever backed down in his entire life. This approach may have worked in war-torn countries, but in his personal life it’s meant finding a Little has been difficult, to say the least.
Cooper may have a body like a Trojan warrior, but his weakness lies in his inability to open-up and be vulnerable. Cooper is proof that sometimes Daddies need safewords too.
Little Rapids is a safe, cozy community and with a little help, Harry quickly begins to see the town as the wonderful place it is. The fact that his and Cooper’s chemistry is off the charts is the sweet and steamy cherry on top of the cake.
As Harry and Cooper’s attraction reaches boiling point, so does the action around them. When a dangerous new gang from out of town sets its sights on Little Rapids, not only is Harry’s dream future in danger but his life is too. Harry needs a Gruff Guardian Daddy and suddenly this could be Cooper’s most dangerous mission yet.

Gio is captured and taken back to his old laboratory in the City of Electric Dreams. So together, the rest of Vic’s assembled family must journey across an unforgiving and otherworldly country to rescue Gio from decommission, or worse, reprogramming.

But I never counted on being a biker’s plaything—a biker who’s almost half my age.
As the former mayor of Smoky Vale, I hinged my campaign on getting rid of all bikers.
They are everything that’s wrong with our town. Everywhere they go they breed crudeness, chaos, and carnage.
Then my son fell in love with not one, but two of them.
Now I have no choice but to interact with the very people I tried to take down.
My disapproval of their lifestyle wavers when a spawn of Goliath backs me into a wall, kisses me senselessly, and makes it clear in the most vulgar way possible what he wants to do to me.
Bay is fierce, frank, and the only man who’s ever made me burn.
He teaches me how to tap into base desires I didn’t even know I had. And it intrigues me how a man so volatile and obscene can be equally protective and affectionate.
Those hands that shed blood now make mine boil in my veins.
When my ex-wife continues to ruin my life from behind prison bars, it’s Bay’s ruthlessness I once despised that I must now lean on to keep me and the ones I love safe. But what my ex-wife gets me involved with goes higher up than I could have ever imagined. Are some things better left in the dark, or do we expose those at the top of these heinous acts, even if it means risking our lives?

BLURB:
Deke Jamison has been waiting for his hot neighbor to fall madly in love with him for years.
The day Marshall moved in next door, Deke instantly knew for sure that it was love at first sight. Well, okay… maybe just lust. But since Marshall turned out to be not just be hot, but also super kind and fifty shades of wonderful, the falling-in-love part happened pretty quickly, too. Marshall is everything Deke could ever want in a man, and they’re clearly meant to be together forever.
So why is it taking Marshall so dang long to realize how perfect they are for each other?
Marshall Palmer has been trying to resist the enthusiastic boy next door for years.
But Deke doesn’t make it easy. He may be too young and he’s definitely too vanilla, but he also shares every single one of Marshall’s values and is utterly adorable on top of it. All Deke wants out of life—besides Marshall, which he’s made more than clear because subtle, Deke is not—is to make the world a better place. Between Deke’s endless volunteer work and the energetic determination he brings to helping others, Marshall has no doubt that Deke will manage to do it, too. After all, he’s already made Marshall’s world a better place.
But there’s no way Marshall can ever let their friendship become anything more, not after the way Marshall failed the last boy who claimed to love him.
(LOL, isn’t it cute that Marshall thinks it’s up to him to decide?)
When Deke discovers that the pets up for adoption in the fundraiser Marshall is helping to organize—the one he most decidedly does not want Deke’s help with—aren’t exactly the fluffy cats and dogs Deke expected, he falls down a kinky little rabbit hole and ends up with ears and a tail of his own. And no one can resist an adorable little kitten, right? Besides, everyone knows that cats pick their owners, not the other way around.
And if those owners prefer to be called “Daddy,” Deke has no problem with that. No problem at all.

Can my straight friend help me cash in my v-card by my birthday?
In one month, I turn thirty-five with my virginity still intact. Is there anything more embarrassing than knowing most of my French students have gotten more action than me? Je suis triste
When I accidentally reveal this secret to my close friend and co-worker Seamus, South Rock’s baseball coach, he offers to help me round the bases.
It has to be a joke, because Seamus is one million percent straight.
There’s no way he’d want to fool around with a chubby language nerd like me, even though I’ve harbored a secret crush on him since the day he first walked into the teachers lounge.
But then I realize he’s not joking.
I’m either entering thirty-five with a bang…or a friendship going up in flames.

Jumpy investigator Quentin never expected a small town single dad to be his biggest weakness. Or welcome him into his family.
On the hunt for a lead in small town Darlington, Quentin instead finds Leo, a broad-chested shifter alpha. The man’s surly and grumpy with a clear distrust for visitors. But, there’s no denying that he puts Quentin in a toe-curling heat he’s never felt before.
With feisty twin daughters, Leo has no time for the sweet-scented omega poking around his pack. Even if destiny has other ideas, Leo won’t admit his wolf’s obsession means Quentin is his fated mate. It’s clear – he needs protection.
Quentin can’t be distracted from his mission. Everything depends on it. Until an unexpected attack leaves the hurt omega in Leo’s care.
The human never expected to be protected… Or given sweaty self-defense lessons. Or be invited to eight-year-old girls’ birthday party. Or be told he’s destined as Leo’s mate.
But the hunter has become the hunted. The longer Quentin stays, the closer his villains come. And they’re out for shifter blood. There’s only one way to protect his newfound family — and it might tear Quentin and Leo apart.

BLURB:
Can a bull-headed man and a marshmallow-hearted bull unite to prevent a war and save a people?
All his life, Nat Konstantinidis has watched helplessly as his people sacrificed their own to the Minotaurs who dominate this planet. Are they killed? Are they eaten? No one knows what happens to the captives, but Nat is determined that this is the year it finally ends. Whatever it takes, he’s going to stop the sacrifices.
But from the first moment he’s handed over to one of the beasts, nothing is what he thought it would be. Now Nat doesn’t know what to believe, but he might know whom to trust—the Minotaur prince Nat might not hate as much as he thought he did.
What’s a virgin to do when a big brute looks at him with hearts in his eyes while making promises about saving the world together? And did he just propose?

Kohen
The one thing that I hated about the celebrity bodyguard thing was pop-princesses that would never do as they were told.
Alpha-wolf and estranged from my pack, I knew after being responsible for my mother’s death, home would only ever be a theoretical concept, no matter how many years passed.
Trevor
I’d survived being abandoned, the foster system, and finally found a place my adoring fans couldn’t get enough of my music. Everything should have finally been perfect, except for the bodyguard my manager gave me. His brash orders and demands should have made me run in the opposite direction, but only succeeded in making me wish the Daddy name I gave him as a joke could turn into something real as I curled up on his lap.
Kohen finally realizes that the threats to Trevor’s life aren’t just some crazed stalker fan, that his manager touts for publicity. Knowing that he wants nothing more than to hear Trevor call him Daddy for real, he runs to the only place he knows he can keep his mate and their unborn pup completely safe.
Or can he?
Because danger has a terrible way of seeking them out, and sometimes even the safest places are just somewhere else for a monster to hide.

BLURB:
I’ve been kidnapped and only one man can save me.
Look. I didn’t plan to be kidnapped. I did nothing to antagonize these two lunatics who rammed me into their van.
Fate doesn’t care about my innocence. If someone doesn’t save me, I’m as good as dead, girl!
Lo and behold–my Prince Charming comes in the form of a giant Italian ex-con who takes one look at me and claims me as his own.
Err… Hold up. This is definitely the man I bumped into in the coffee shop last month.
His name is Medici Luciano and he’s related to my three besties’ partners.
Something tells me that he’ll save me, but he won’t let me go…
