Instead, he walks face first into the greatest love of his life… and the thing that might completely destroy him.
Nebraska’s whole life has been exhausting. When he ends up living with complete strangers, hundreds of miles from home, he should be terrified. Instead, it’s the lightest he’s felt in years.

There’s no harder construction worker than me. It probably helps that I’m as tough as nails too. But maybe that’s why I can’t find myself a Daddy to call me his boy…
Together with my fellow Blue Collar Boys, I’m working on the biggest construction site of my life. The days are long and hard, and when I arrive home all I want is my stuffie, a bubble bath, and my snuggliest romper. *SIGH* I wish I had a Daddy waiting for me at home too…
I need a Daddy to read me bedtime stories, help me with my wooden building blocks, and show me the full force of his paddle when I get too sassy or grumpy!
Harrison Harlow is a major player in the real estate game and a fearsome Daddy Dom – and he just so happens to own the construction site I’m working on alongside my Blue Collar Boys. He’s demanding, handsome as heck, and seems to have taken a shine to me.
Harrison wants me, and I want him – and it’s not long before we can’t deny our attraction for a moment longer. But when an old face from Harrison’s past shows up, will that jeopardise what might just be the best thing that’s ever happened to me?

BLURB:
I know most would probably describe me as a little uptight, unwilling to change, set in my ways…
But the truth is, I just like my life the way it is—simple and predictable. I have everything I need—good friends, family close by, and my automotive business that I’ve built from the ground up.
I’m proud of the life I’ve made in this quiet small town. Nothing needs to change.
At least, that’s what I believed up until the day Damon Deveraux, a lively and bold little whirlwind of a man in lip gloss and short shorts, saunters into my life and changes everything.
He captivates me with his bubbly charm and adorable clumsiness, and suddenly we’re fast friends, spending all our time together.
But I don’t know what’s happening to me. I’m just so confused.
Because I’ve never fixated on another man’s pouty lips before.
I’ve never obsessed over the curve of another man’s body.
I’ve never desired the feel of another man curled up against me.
And when I discover Damon’s camboy site and—accidentally on purpose—subscribe to his live show, all bets are off.
Because for the first time, I’m realizing that maybe the sweet, sassy boy next door is everything I never knew I needed.

Dax
I’ve cut and run on my life more than once in my thirty-one years, leaving everything behind, even my name. Now I’m Dax Crow, long lost half-brother and mixing technician for Jameson Crow, the lead singer of Corvus Rising. I’m using my hard-won skills to help my brother make it big. The rest of the band are incidental to me, although new bass player Lane Bennett is a hot mess of young talent who urgently needs someone to take him under their wing. Not my job. I never get close to anyone. Until some douche of a boyfriend begins jerking the kid around, and I’ve been there, done that. Maybe I can at least give him some advice.
Lane
Playing with Corvus Rising is my dream come true, and I can’t believe in October we’ll play for sixty thousand fans at Rocktoberfest. I just hope I can measure up. The last six months have been a steep learning curve, but I have my secret boyfriend to encourage and direct me whenever he’s around. I wish we could go public, but he’s with the record label and it wouldn’t look good. I also have my secret joy— performing drag as Ms. Fox, when I get the chance. It’s hard juggling everything while touring with the band, but I think I have it under control. Then my worlds collide and my boyfriend shows his true face. I find myself getting surprising advice and support from Dax, the gorgeous, secretive guy behind Corvus’s sound. But I doubt even Dax can turn this disaster into a triumph.

Asmodeus

Kaz has a choice to make. Should he transition to vampire in the lab, becoming another rat under Uriel’s thumb? Or should he take a chance and return to the team? The team who still believes he betrayed them. Who think of him as a traitorous spy. Who’ll probably decide to lash him to a stake and burn him beside the begonias with Daniel holding the torch.
As he’s never been a coward, Kaz decides to put his vulnerable life in the hands of the team. He’ll explain why he was forced to lie and hide the truth. That the threats focused toward the team were serious and the schemes the archangels devised had to be stopped. Some may believe him, but not the most important team member. Daniel will never trust him again.
Danny is spending too much energy composing sad songs and arguing with anyone who pokes their head into the office to see how he’s doing. He’s fine. Really. He’s fine. But when a bleeding, wingless Kaz tumbles through the portal he’s positive the fates are not done messing with him. After doing what he can, he leaves the rest of the team to deal with Kaz and takes off to spend a few days with his friends. Maybe order in a deliciously handsome blood donor. Exactly what he needs to keep his mind off Kaz and his delicious scent and his wicked smile.
Only a call comes in that a pack of rogue vampires have taken over parts of San Francisco, killing innocents and turning the residents’ lives into a living nightmare. Kaz is the logical vampire to send to scope out the situation and report back. Only his behavior has been erratic, and the team captain wants Danny to accompany him. Now Danny has to take charge of the mission and make sure the male who broke his heart keeps his hands and mouth and…everything else…as far away from him as possible!

He’s never been to the Cowboy State before, but he’s already made an enemy.
Max Stone is a glass-is-always-full kind of guy and he strongly believes in doing the right thing.
In this case, doing the right thing means traveling to Collier’s Creek, Wyoming to meet the half-sister he’s never known and help save her family ranch.
He feels slightly aimless after selling his software company and retiring. He’s only forty-two after all, and after a lifetime of working hard, there’s a bucket list of things he’d like to check off. One of them is meeting someone who likes him for who he is, not his bank account. He has a good feeling about Collier’s Creek–he’s always had a secret cowboy fantasy.
Nash Vigil isn’t rolling out the welcome mat for Max Stone. Stone wants something, and Nash is going to figure out what it is. Then he’s going to make sure he doesn’t get it. No doubt Max is just like his cheating, lying father.
After another day fighting a losing battle at the ranch, Nash ends up helping a sexy newcomer who didn’t realize that alcohol and high altitude don’t mix. Not when you’re a newbie. And damn that had been hard to walk away from. As much as he’d wanted to accept the invitation for a hot night in the sheets, he’d tucked the man in and left.
Just Nash’s luck, he’s the one man Nash cannot be attracted to.
Just Max’s luck, someone has him in their sights and he may need a sexy cowboy to ride to his rescue.

He’s also straight, uninterested in dating someone ten years younger than him, and, tragically, *my boss*.
If I’d known taking the nanny position would mean mangling my heart, I might never have accepted his offer, but I love the Brighton family so I’ve resigned myself to never living the fairytale…
At least until the Dean of Admissions at the girls’ dream school says only families with two parents need apply, and in desperation, Grant makes me a different offer: to be his on-paper *husband*.
With things heating up between us and my heart hanging in the balance, how can I convince Grant to make me the proposal I really want: to turn this marriage of convenience into a real-life happily-ever-after?

BLURB:
The Carnival of Mysteries just arrived in Sutton County. They say if you cross the fortune teller’s palm with silver she can read your future like a map. Right now all Ledger Conroy wants to know is if he has a future.
Back in Sutton after over a decade, Ledger’s plan had been to bury his father–recently deceased convicted serial killer and less-well known warlock, Bell Conroy–clear the property, and then finally wash his hands of being a Conroy. Instead there’s a cured human heart in the larder, a pissed off pretty boy who is definitely not human at the door, and a debt to the devil that Ledger’s just inherited.
Devil. Monster. Something like that. He’d not asked for its pedigree
Whatever it was, it’s given Ledger a week to fulfill the terms of his father’s contract. Or else he’s never going to leave Sutton again. With pretty-boy Wren at his heels, more to make sure Ledger doesn’t skip town than to provide assistance, Ledger tries to track his father’s sins across Sutton. The problem is there’s so many of them.
Ledger is faced with old grudges, a Sheriff that thinks Ledger knows more about his father’s crimes than he’s ever said (and isn’t wrong), and a dead man with a book shop. Not to mention the on-going distraction of Wren, who can’t decide whether to be a hindrance, a help, or just hot.
Luckily Ledger has a nose for this sort of work.

BLURB:
Working side-by-side on a charity project might just prove to be the foundation of a new romance.
Deandre Jones is enjoying his single life quite nicely, thank you. He’s a defenseman on the Watkins Glen Gladiators, gets to travel, dates frequently, and isn’t tied down to anything other than his mom and brother back in the windy city. He has time to do the whole family and kids thing. Right now he’s happy to be footloose, even if his mother has different ideas. As the playoffs near his focus should be on hockey, but for some reason, he can’t seem to give the sport its due. Ever since he volunteered to help the incredibly handsome assistant pastor of a local church work on an addition to the parish, his attention seems to be locked on curly hair and bright blue eyes instead of breakaways and body checks.
Gabriel Hansley has quite the full plate. Not only is he the first openly out bisexual assistant pastor for a small but highly active parish, but he’s also got his son to tend to as well as his work at the church, which keeps him hopping all day long. And that’s a good thing as the nights alone are hard for the young widower. Just when he’s about to give up on finding a person to share his life with—chaotic as it can be—he finds himself hammering nails beside Deandre Jones. As they work side-by-side under the bright spring sun, he’s getting warmer under the collar with each shared smile and terrible carpentry pun.

The job is as simple as they ever are for members of the Collective: get in, fool the marks, and commit some devastating corporate espionage. For Miroslav Antanasijević—an expert at faking identities—it’s a high-stress gig, but one he’s used to.
At least that’s how it starts.
When it all goes wrong, Mirko barely escapes with his life… and only because a ride share driver comes to his rescue.
Arlen Tate is just trying to finish his doctorate, help his sister through school, and leave his turbulent family life in the past where it belongs. His schedule is packed tight, and it does not have room for “help an organized crime syndicate rescue one of their own.”
Too bad the minute he hauls that stranger into his car and takes off, he’s on a one-way trip down a rabbit hole of crime, corruption, and a very strange gray area between moral and illegal.
And maybe he doesn’t want to go back. Especially the more time he spends with the enigmatic chameleon he rescued.
But someone is coming for the Collective. Someone ruthless and powerful.
And they will happily murder anyone who gets in their way.

As summer and their arrangement comes to an end, a surprise changes everything they thought they knew about each other, but maybe a new beginning—the kind that leads to forever—is exactly what Dom and Dante need.

Add an embarrassing condition and a punishing job, and it’s a recipe for disaster. After all, he’s convinced he will only ever be accepted for bratty scene play, and no Daddy will ever want him as a forever Little.
Emmett Reid has been secretly crushing on his boss’s younger brother. With twenty odd years between himself and Josh, he knows it’s a pipe dream. At least, that’s what he thinks until a night at The Grove, the city’s premier BDSM club, brings him up close and personal with Josh…and throws in a wild card in the form of one smoking hot -if kind of short- blonde dom. Then, suddenly, he can’t get either man out of his head.

But Jaime’s set path in life is overturned when the consequences of an indiscretion on his part prove to be the final straw for his father. Infuriated, Prince Halden sends Jaime away from the Heighlands, the only home Jaime has ever known, to serve at the court of the powerful and despised king of Leilani. Alone in a much more sophisticated society than he is used to, Jaime must maneuver to find his way … and struggle to understand his feelings about the handsome King Alder of Leilani, to whom he has sworn fealty.
Alder has much on his mind. Fighting a war he can’t end and can’t afford to lose, his widowed state is of far less import. Nonetheless, his Councilors are demanding he choose a Companion — a man to please his bed — as is expected of a widowed Leilani king with heirs. It is a choice he is in no hurry to make. The war and losses on the battlefield are of far greater concern, and the arrival of a disgraced prince from the least loyal part of his kingdom is a minor and unwanted distraction.
Until Jaime walks into his court. For the first time in his life, Alder feels a genuine surge of lust for a man. But it’s a hopeless attraction. No Heighlander would admit to wanting another man, ever.
