DEX

Life is good: I’ve got a thriving private photography business, gorgeous sights at my fingertips, and not a single desire to set down roots. Roots that once entangled me with a boy of dark eyes and a smart mouth who I never would have survived my time in the foster system without.

He was both my savior and my curse. I didn’t belong–I never do–so I left the Olaño family behind. I should have known fate would eventually draw me back into Valen Olaño’s orbit. This family is more than I deserve, but I want it. I want him.

Except I wasn’t built to be kept, and I’m not sure I know how to stay.

VALEN

Once upon a time, I fell in love with a broken boy. He didn’t want me to fix him, and one day, he disappeared. When Dex’s work brings him to my family’s home in the Philippines, that long buried spark kindles back to life and catches us both on fire.

Innocent touches become heated hands, and as I hold onto these stolen moments like a lifeline, I tell myself it will be enough. As much as I want him, I can’t hope to keep him. My family needs me.

If only Dex would accept that he’s my family too.

They waylay rich travelers, taking their money to help the poor who are being robbed through taxation by their baron. With the situation growing more desperate, he reluctantly decides to kidnap someone from a rich family and hold them ransom. Luck is with him when the baron’ s younger son comes his way. Destiny delivers a stunning blow when he finds the boy beguiling and irresistible.

Rory has cultivated a reputation as a spoiled brat. Deep in his heart, nothing could be farther from the truth. His father’ s cruelty caused him to erect emotional barriers and pretend he cares for nothing and no one. When he falls into the hands of a brigand, he puts his studied arrogance on display. His act becomes harder to maintain under the watchful and captivating eye of his captor and his growing understanding of how great his father’ s viciousness truly is.

Police Detective Alex Charming was nothing if not a dedicated officer of the law. He was known to be something of a hard-ass, truth be told. His reaction to the victim found attacked on a public street, his cat still in the pet carrier backpack he was wearing, could be written off as concern. Perhaps a bit more involved than usual, per se, but then he was an animal lover, so maybe that was it. If his colleagues discovered he was visiting the unconscious man every day at the hospital, that excuse wouldn’t cover it, and he had no desire to explain that the beautiful man reminded him deeply of a boy he’d crushed hard from afar all through junior and senior high, halfway across the country. He knew it couldn’t be him, but he still felt a connection to the sleeping beauty on Ward Six. Why, and what did it all mean?

So why didn’t someone tell him he’d be working closely with the leader’s son instead? That hot piece of perfection could make even happily-single Jannick give up his no-strings-attached ways.

Gryphon shifter Conall Arwan has simple goals for his life: get his PhD in pediatric shifter social work and stay off the radar of his disapproving father. When his father orders him to work with a hot but arrogant mage to find missing human kids, all Conall sees is how it pushes back his graduation date. Again. And even if the mage unexpectedly turns out to be not so bad—and maybe even a little sweet—there’s still no future for them. Conall’s dad has plans for him and they don’t include getting involved with a sexy, infuriating mage.

As the heir to a powerful vampire gang, I should be a master thief by now. But my own abilities have always been flawed. I’m good at one thing, though—stealing. When my uncle sets his sights on a prized possession owned by Gothel, the ruler of the Sky Syndicate, I’m tasked with the job of taking it.

Everything changes when I meet the captivating gargoyle. He offers to fix my broken magic, and his smoldering touch and commanding presence make me feel alive for the first time in years.

But Gothel’s help comes with a cost. He demands my complete surrender. And when I discover just how good it feels to give in, it’s a price I’m willing to pay. Our dangerous game of seduction and submission leaves me yearning for more. But even as I give myself to him, I know the bliss is short-lived. I’ll learn from Gothel, and then I’ll steal from him.

At least that’s what I tell myself. The more time I spend in the syndicate lord’s company—and over his knee—the more I wonder if I can rob the only male who’s ever truly helped me.

When danger threatens to keep us apart for good, I realize I haven’t been learning to steal. I’ve been learning to love…and I’ll do whatever it takes to win Gothel’s heart, even if it means risking everything.

But his peaceful days of teaching library students, creating finding aids, and community theater come to an end when the magnetic, mistrustful Ulysses turns up with a warning.

I have one rule to live by: Don’t Date a DILF.

I’ve seen the consequences of blurring the boundaries between teaching life and dating life, and I’m not about to take that kind of risk.

But I didn’t count on Hunter Rhodes walking into my school. Never expected that the broad-shouldered, stubble-jawed, absolute glory of a man would be such a sweet and caring father. Or that as a seemingly straight man, he might decide he wants me.

If my Nana has her way…I’ll be in love with someone by the end of the school year, but there’s only one man who tempts me.

With her matchmaking in overdrive and half the single women in Granville setting their sights on Hunter, faking a relationship could give us both a reprieve.

It might be fun and games for Hunter, but separating pretend feelings from real won’t be so simple for me. And then there’s that rule…

Can I date a DILF without disaster–or will all my fears come true?

RELEASE DATE: 5/25/2023

BLURB:

His client has a stalker, so how’s he the one in crisis?

Liam

Being famous in the metal scene isn’t like normal fame. Our fans are simply better. They’ve got taste. They’re respectful. If I’ve got a ‘stalker,’ it’s obviously some idiot who claimed to have become a fan after the latest floppy-haired boy band decided to do a pop cover of one of our early songs without our permission.

But that’s a battle for the labels. My battle is against the stuffed shirt of an ex-military tone deaf shadow my manager decided I needed since someone managed to get past a venue’s security. He might be nice to look at, but Sigurd Aldersson is the most boring man alive.

Nothing I do shakes him. If I’m stuck with him, he’s going to get an education in hardcore queer.

Sigurd

Billy Blüd is a walking nightmare of a client. Most people don’t cop attitudes with the guys trying to keep them safe, but he’s got no respect. Schedules get ignored. He throws himself into his audience almost nightly, and his latest stunt involves seedy clubs with whips and velvet that would glow under a blacklight.

Whatever he does, I can’t react. Inside, I’m reeling. I swore off relationships, and even if I hadn’t, I’ve never looked at another guy twice, but no matter how he rebels, the glimpses of Liam underneath the drummer of Blüdthørne have me on my knees.

Am I bi? Is he just that charismatic? It doesn’t matter. He’s a client. Nothing can happen.

BLURB:

To save his pack, he’ll need to be caught. But can he be saved?

Taylor Walsh is a snake shifter with a reputation for doing what it takes to get the job done. This time it means catching the hunters before they take any more shifters. When the perfect bait appears, all he has to do is convince Justin Brook to play the part.

There are only three problems: Justin isn’t an agent; he’s a lawyer.

He’s already injured.

And Taylor doesn’t want anyone to realize how much he wants the snarly wolf shifter.

Justin Brook is part of the Coven’s legal branch, and he’s very familiar with Taylor’s methods because he’d pulled him out of the fire a few too many times. But his latest request is a step too far. He will not be the bait to catch the hunters. However, if he refuses, then they’ll take someone else. And if he agrees, his life will be in Taylor’s hands.
