LENGTH: 52

RELEASE DATE: 10/16/2023

BLURB:

For two years, Troy has been Alastor’s weekly booty call. There’s only one pesky detail Alastor never mentioned. He’s a demon lord.

As a man who dates older men for money, it’s not uncommon for Troy to be someone’s toy. Alastor is the first time he’s begged for it or done so for free. He can’t stop answering Alastor’s calls and texts, even though he knows they’ll never be more. When a stranger asks him what he wants most in life, Alastor is the only wish that comes to mind. Then nothing is the same.

As a demon lord, Alastor is one of the top dogs in what could—potentially—be considered a pyramid scheme. Of the supernatural variety, of course. As one entity who creates demons, he has never had a soul to sell. He’s never been granted a wish. It’s never been necessary either. At the snap of his fingers, he can have most anything he wants. The last thing he expects is to have someone else do the same, and for that snap of the fingers to be for him. It’s a conundrum to be sure.

The first case leads them into dangerous territory. The second feels like a dead end.

But what if they’re connected?

Gary has a lot of balls in the air—his work, his new relationship with Dan, his personal quest to discover more about his brother’s murder…. And the more he looks into these two cases, the more convoluted the path becomes.

Everyone is hiding something, and some people would do anything to make sure Gary and Dan don’t uncover the truth.

It’s 2043, and software engineer Henry Bell is on the verge of a breakthrough. His virtual-reality dating simulator, Unity, is finally ready for beta testing. All he needs now is the right mage for the job.

Biomancer Elijah Johnstone is broke, his air conditioner has just given up the ghost, and it’s too hot to sleep. When Henry makes him a cash offer to try out his magic in Unity’s 3D landscape, he jumps at the chance, tries a simple spell… and ends up stuck in the computer simulation.

Trapped in a world of Henry’s design, Elijah must rely on Henry not only for human interaction, but for his lifeline to reality. They’re not supposed to be on a real date, but they need to free Elijah and save the program Henry has bet his future on. The thing is, once they perfect the program and pull Elijah out, Henry won’t need him anymore. After all, how can a love forged in a virtual world possibly be real?

BLURB:

He’s here to slay…but will he stay?

James Petika is living the single gay life he always wanted. A police officer in Chicago, he has a good job, good friends—and he’s two thousand miles away from his family’s expectations. He also has a problem: he needs a date for his sister’s wedding in Missoula, Montana, but his family has no idea that he’s gay, and he’d like to keep it that way.

The solution? Daniel Bonafonte aka Lala Traviata, the queen of the Chicago drag scene. Lala is the real thing: she can sing, she can dance—and she can throw more shade than a solar eclipse. One drink and plenty of dishing later, Daniel agrees to help James out and be his incognito date to the wedding.

Daniel’s drag-diva skills are put to the test right away, with the bride’s ill-fitting wedding dress, a groom who’s a danger on the dance floor and more drama than auditions for a gay men’s chorus. Faking this relationship—and ignoring the very real feelings developing between them—might just be the performance of their lives.

When evil strikes Leo and Xanto, will even the combined powers of Lucien, Ahad and their familiar, Salem, be enough to save them?

At 27, my life is one big substance-fueled party. No one has ever said no to me. Deep down, though, I crave it. I need someone to care enough to offer me guidance. To say no to me when I need it. Someone who can provide me with a little discipline and affection.

PUBLISHER: Self Published

LENGTH: 272

RELEASE DATE: 10/17/2023

BLURB:

Evan

Getting shot off into space is not my idea of a good time. Getting kidnapped by a bunch of crocodile-like aliens who want to sell me to the highest bidder sounds even less fun—but that’s my current reality.

Now I have to convince Sobek, the guy in charge, to keep me by his side instead … Although, it doesn’t hurt that he’s kinda cute, in a weird way.

But what’s up with all this “omega” stuff?

Sobek

I cannot believe my brothers kidnapped a sun spirit, of all things. Worse, this Evan is whiny, weak, annoying, and very pretty—I mean, strange. Ah, well—at least he’ll fetch a high price for us; omegas usually do, and a sun spirit omega going to market is unheard of.

Although … Evan doesn’t seem to know much about being an omega. Maybe he just needs a good alpha. If he sticks around, I could teach him a thing or two …

A Research Mission Gone Wrong

Space exploration is dangerous, but Evan doesn’t realize just how dangerous until he’s kidnapped by aliens on a supposedly uninhabited planet. Lucky for him, the kroakka assume he’s a sun spirit, a descendant of the sun gods. That might keep them from killing him, but it doesn’t stop them from trying to sell him into bondage—as “an omega,” no less.

Biology and culture unravel and clash as Evan slowly realizes he’s falling for the brute who captured him.

Now, Evan must convince the alpha Sobek that keeping him around is a much better plan—despite the brutal code of honor that compels Sobek to fight, tooth and claw, to keep Evan by his side.

The man has been a blight on Cooper Ellis’s life ever since high school. Not only did Logan steal Coop’s high school girlfriend, but he’s made it his mission to annoy him.

And Coop can’t seem to avoid the aggravating and stupidly attractive guy.

Cooper Ellis is an overbearing jerk.

Yes, he’s hot. Yes, he’s pretty much been Logan’s main crush since he was in high school. But for some reason, the guy hates his guts, so Logan decided a long while back to just douse everything in kerosene and watch it burn. Not like it matters when the rest of the Ellis family loves him, especially his boss at the bookstore, Grandpa Ellis.

Except when Gramps breaks his leg and needs to take time off, guess who steps in to help out at the shop?

And guess who Logan can’t resist taunting until all that fire turns into an inferno neither of them stand a chance at putting out…

FAKE AMNESIA. REAL FEELINGS? REAL PROBLEMS.

Sam Becker loves—or, okay, likes—his job. Sure, managing a bed and bath retailer isn’t exactly glamorous, but it’s good work and he gets on well with the band of misfits who keep the store running. He could see himself being content here for the long haul. Too bad, then, that the owner is an infuriating git.

Jonathan Forest should never have hired Sam. It was a sentimental decision, and Jonathan didn’t get where he is by following his heart. Determined to set things right, Jonathan orders Sam down to London for a difficult talk…only for a panicking Sam to trip, bump his head, and maybe accidentally imply he doesn’t remember anything?

Faking amnesia seemed like a good idea when Sam was afraid he was getting sacked, but now he has to deal with the reality of Jonathan’s guilt—as well as the unsettling fact that his surly boss might have a softer side to him. There’s an unexpected freedom in getting a second shot at a first impression…but as Sam and Jonathan grow closer, can Sam really bring himself to tell the truth, or will their future be built entirely on one impulsive lie?

I thought I was helping him get his groove back. Turns out, he’s helping me fall in love.

Tyler

I have one rule when it comes to matters of my hormones: one and done. Consensually, of course. Fun with no complicated romantic feelings. Not that I’m built to experience those, anyway.

After my car breaks down on a remote road, I follow a lumbersnack back to his creepy cabin for the cell service. When a tree falls and blocks my car, I make the most of it. What’s more casual than riding out a storm in bed?

Except it stops being casual when I get hit with Big Feelings™ that equally terrify and thrill me. I’m a sure bet as a good time but high risk when it comes to caring for someone’s heart.

Cooper

I’ve been kind of a hermit since my husband died. Lately, though, I’ve been toying with the idea of putting myself out there again.

So when a hot guy with a fondness for d1ck jokes and a heart of gold offers to “clean out my pipes,” I grab it—and him—with both hands.

I know Ty doesn’t sleep with the same guy twice. So, after our unexpected weekend together, I focus on being grateful and moving on. But when he ends up as the relief pitcher for my rec softball team, the time we start spending together makes me want him even more.

Except after living through one massive loss, I’m not sure I’m brave enough to risk my heart again.

I want to know more about him, and Oscar seeking him out on our daily walks provides me with that opportunity.

The entire world is convinced that something is going on between my best friend and I.

Okay, maybe not the entire world— but a good chunk of our fans think we’re secretly together.

But ever since our band, Fool’s Errand, blew up three years ago, people have mistaken our close friendship for romance.

And, okay— maybe before then too, but we’re just the best friends ever.

Everyone is sure that we’re hiding or in denial, but we’ve been close since we were young, and it’s not our fault other people don’t understand affection.

We might show it differently than other friends—

but that’s all we are—

Friends.

Until an awkward interview changes things between us.

And denying that Oliver isn’t the prettiest thing I’ve ever seen gets harder than—

Well, you get the picture.

Though we try to avoid it, fate has other plans when we end up stuck together with no escape.

Oliver is terrified that whatever we’re doing will ruin our friendship.

I’m sure that it would never be the same regardless.

How can I convince my overthinking best friend that change can be good?

Especially when I’ll do anything for him, even if that means pretending that everything is fine when it soclearly isn’t.

I was under the impression that shippers are stupid.

But, I’m beginning to think all those people were onto something

And maybe…

We’re the fools after all…

As a pixie, I’m a rule-breaker and master of mayhem. I’ve played matchmaker to all four of the Syndicate Lords, but somehow, I never seem to find my own match.

That changes when I meet a handsome stranger and fall hard. Vale Gentry may be tall, dark and devastatingly charming, but I should have known better than to get tangled up with an elf. Everyone knows they’re the snobs of the magical world. I’m nothing more than dirt under their gilded shoes.

That’s never more clear than when I discover Vale is betrothed—to his stepsister. Heartbroken, I return home with a new rule: never fall in love.

But fate isn’t finished with me. Just when I’ve sworn off elves forever, Vale shows up in the Hallows—and he’s every bit as distracting as he was the first time around. When I get the opportunity to punish him, I seize it, locking him in a magical contract that makes him my servant for two weeks.

I’ll revel in making the heir to the Summer Court scrub my floors and sweep the attic. I’ll order him to his knees. The only problem? He looks really good down there—and his golden eyes promise deliciously dirty deeds I remember all too well.

Vale refuses to let me go. But the elves aren’t willing to release him, either. The clock is ticking on his marriage contract, and his stepmother is determined to see him wed. When his reluctance puts both our lives in danger, I have to decide if my pride is more important than my prince—and if a chance at true love is worth risking everything. I just have to hope I’m not too late.

BLURB:

Someone once told me I give Daddy Issues a bad name. I laughed at the time, but since I found myself living with my dad’s best friend, Stuart Wiseman, it doesn’t feel all that funny anymore.

Living with him is a nightmare. He’s super pedantic about everything. He took one look at me and decided I need help with adulting, and he seems absolutely positive he’s the man for the job. He’s hellbent on improving me, scolding me about this and correcting me on that.

Obviously I don’t take it lying down, I give as good as I get.

Things come to a head one night and I find myself staring down the barrel of a thick, angry index finger pointed close to my face.

“You’re playing with fire, Boy, and you’re headed for leather.”

Every schema I’ve ever used to make sense of the world implodes.

I’m furious. I hate it. Fully hate it. Hate every single thing about it.

Except that I don’t – and that makes it worse. Way worse. Some stupid part of me loves it. Some even stupider part craves it.

Lucky for me, Stuart knows a Daddy’s boy when he sees one. He offers to discipline and take care of me, to do the hard parts of adulting for me until I get back on my feet. Obviously, it isn’t a relationship. He’s literally old enough to be my father. So no, it’s not a relationship. Get your mind out of the gutter. It’s an arrangement…A Daddy Arrangement.

And that’s all it will ever be.

Right?

Saffron finally has the one thing he’s always wanted: a chance to attend school. To be able to do so alongside Prince Cylvan, even while glamoured as a high fey and pretending not to know one another, Saffron is eager to finally experience the education he’s always dreamed of.

But the expectations of being a perfect fey lord are suffocating enough, and are only made more difficult as the unfettered rowan magic in his body runs wild. Outside of the emotionally-charged nosebleeds that come whenever he’s overwhelmed, he’s able to keep the magic subdued–until one unfortunate confrontation outside of the school, where it manifests in the form of a nightmare he never thought he’d have to witness again. He desperately needs help understanding how to control his new magic, but there’s only one person he knows who can offer mentorship: the stranger who appeared in his hospital room after the events on Ostara.

Between acting a high fey, pretending to be courted by Cylvan as strangers, the unexpected difficulties of attending school for the first time, and managing the ancient magic running wild in his veins, Saffron has no choice but to trust Ryder Kyteler who can skip through the veil with ease, and who has been gathering disenfranchised humans to teach them arid magic on the outskirts of Avren for years. Otherwise, the new, violent manifestation of Saffron’s magic may hurt the people he cares about most.
