BLURB:

I’m a thug. I’ve done bad things. And I’m straight… So why can’t I get the sexy Aussie vet out of my head?

When I showed up on my brother’s doorstep three years ago, I’d hit rock bottom. Broke and homeless, with a miles-long trail of destruction in my wake.

Those days are behind me. I’m rebuilding my life. Staying focused. Disciplined. Busy. If I’m not working to pay back my debts, I’m helping out at my brother’s animal shelter. Whatever it takes to keep my impulses under control.

And then I meet Locky, the new Aussie vet. His husband cheated, kicked him out, and is threatening to turn their divorce nuclear.

My newfound control snaps. I have to help, even if the smart thing to do would be to stay away.

I definitely shouldn’t give Locky a place to stay.

Or offer to be his wingman…with benefits.

Or get involved in his messy divorce.

Too late.

I may be straight, but Locky’s triggered every possessive instinct I have. And that’s what makes this situation dangerous. Because I do very bad things to protect the people I care about.

I’ve worked hard to start over, so why has Locky got me feeling I’d be willing to blow it all up for him?

Traveling is the worst. I love being in my own house, in my own room, with my own things, and snuggling under my favorite blanket with my otter stuffie, Charlie. When my boss asks me to go to a week-long conference in Las Vegas, it is crystal clear that the options I have are to go or be denied the promotion I’ve been working so hard for. I choose to go. It’s Vegas. How bad can it be?

Awful. Absolutely awful.

The only bright side is the hot rep from the next booth who spends the week flirting with me. He gives off completely daddy vibes, but when I introduce him to my stuffie, I realize my mistake. He isn’t a daddy. He’s just a nice guy looking for someone to make a connection with— a connection I gladly give him in the form of the hottest night of my life— a night that can never and will never be repeated.

My plane’s barely on the ground when I get the text telling me our hotel was filled with bedbugs. I head straight to the laundromat to disinfect it all, leaving a few hours later with fresh clothes, ready to climb into bed and just be.

PUBLISHER: Self Published

LENGTH: 280

RELEASE DATE: 10/24/2023

BLURB:

How in the world does a grumpy rancher end up falling for a rich dilettante?

Richard Dunning has it all: private school education, an exquisite designer wardrobe, a last name that ensures he’s invited to all the best parties, and a skincare regimen that’s to die for.

The only thing he doesn’t have is… well, a job. Or a home. Or money in the bank. Not since his dad cut him off.

So when his best frenemy approaches him with a bet—spend a month working as a cowhand on some godforsaken Wyoming ranch in exchange for his dream job—he’s a little too proud and a lot too desperate to say no.

But from the moment Richard and his rhinestone cowboy hat show up at the Silver Fork Ranch, nothing is as expected.

Not the beautiful vistas, not the terrifying horses, not the friendly people, not the epic quantities of cow manure, and definitely not Boone Hammond, the rugged rancher whose eyes are a little too intense, whose expectations are a little too high, and whose kisses are… a lot too tempting.

But when his month on the ranch comes to a close, Richard must choose: return to the safe, luxurious life he thought he wanted… or risk everything for the love he’s been IN SEARCH OF all along.

He was prepared to gamble his blood, not his entire heart.

Vampires have always made Sven’s heart beat harder, but when his mother’s life is on the line, he decides to face his fears. He decides to become immortal so that he can pass that gift on to her.

Determined, he seeks out the Caller of Crows, a charismatic vampire by the name of Altair, and with his pulse pounding in his ears, he offers himself to the vampire and asks to be turned.

The problem is, Sven lives in a city that is ruled by the paranormal, and pure mortal blood has become exceedingly rare. It’s a treat that every vampire covets–and Altair is no exception. He doesn’t want to turn Sven and let his sweet, sweet blood go to waste. Instead, he locks Sven in his bedroom as a valuable prisoner, as his property.

In his desperation, Sven realizes what he must do to get what he wants from the vampire: he needs to make Altair fall for him, to make the handsome devil see him as something more than a hot meal. He needs to melt the ice around Altair’s heart and make him want eternity with Sven… and he needs to do it without falling for the ruthless vampire in return.

It’s bad enough to wake up with no memory.

It’s worse to wake up with no clue who you are and find yourself possessed by a demon.

It’s all creepy whispers and echoing laughter in my head. Plus, it’s making me hungry— for souls, not burritos.

All I can say, this adventure is something conjured from nightmares.

I have to get it out. But where do I even start?

With a stray dog I’ve picked up along the way, I’ve come to what might be my last hope.

Which happens to be a cardigan-wearing, tea-drinking, book nerd who looks like he’d rather be dealing with anyone but me.

That is until he starts to see past the monster the demon is turning me into. He sees the me I don’t even know.

It’s weird to fall in love while trying to rid my body of this toxic demonic energy. But hey, at least there’s something good in this messed up story.

I just hope I make it out alive.

He has long been the protector of the Zayne coven and their ancestral home in Charleston, South Carolina. When the family matriarch, Vivian Zayne, dies under mysterious circumstances, he is tasked with finding the only person who can open her sealed Book of Shadows: the son no one knew she had.

Dylan Quinn has never bothered to figure out why cats follow him everywhere, but it’s been that way for as long as he can remember. After the unexpected passing of his adoptive mother, he had to make a new home for himself in small-town Ohio. Things have been quiet ever since, but lately, there are strange voices in his dreams and a sense of being watched.

When a striking Southern gent appears in town, Dylan welcomes the distraction. Keller is handsome and charming, but Dylan can tell there’s something else, something eerie about him. And he discovers he’s right, as Keller goes from being Dylan’s seducer… to his abductor.

Now back in Charleston, Dylan’s newfound family is shocked when it’s discovered his magical affinity is for death itself. Despite his fears, he’ll need to learn to control his terrifying powers in order to open the Zayne Book of Shadows. He also needs to keep his coven safe, and time is running out. The estate’s protective wards expire on Halloween, and power-hungry witches from all over are ready to pounce.

While Dylan’s awakening darkness threatens to overwhelm him, Keller finds himself confronted by feelings he thought long dead.

Florizel Holland was born and raised in the Theatre and has spent his entire life surrounded by “colorful” people. His devotion to those people shows not only in his position as stage manager for the Drury Lane Theater and his dedication to its current production, but in the way he gives everything he has to the home for retired actors he helped to establish. But endeavors such as the home need funding, and gambling for high stakes at a club called Perdition is how Flory intends to get them.

But losing himself for the night to a mysterious newcomer to town changes everything…

Librarian Oliver Penhurst has been on the back foot ever since inheriting the title Earl of Headington. His venture into London was supposed to be so that he could learn from his old university friends how to be a nobleman. Patronizing the Drury Lane Theater seemed like a good idea, but when Oliver comes face to face with the man he just spent a wicked night with, Oliver doesn’t know whether to run and hide or to throw himself at the man.

There is more to both Flory and Oliver than meets the eye, and as the two men work together for the good of the show—especially when everything seems to go wrong with the play at the very last minute—they discover that it is the unexpected blessings in life that make it so much fun.

I’ve always had a plan. My life has always gone according to that. However, along the way, I missed something. I thought my regimented life and financial security were enough to sustain me.

I was wrong. My bear craves an omega and a family, but I’m not interested in the dating scene or one of those apps.

So when a wax-sealed envelope arrives in my mailbox offering me a chance to get away, I make plans to travel, sure the rest and relaxation will quell my bear.

Sheppard

Once I retired from being an Olympic gold-medal winning swimmer, I had no clue what I wanted for or from life. Having lived on a tight schedule since that first daddy-and-me swimming class when the teacher said I had talent, I was so ready to be free.

But now, those free hours stretch out in front of me, empty. And my rabbit, who has never had a lot to say, has decided a mate will give us purpose.

I’ve heard no one leaves the Bearclaw Inn without a mate, but never dreamed I’d receive an invitation. Good timing? Or just a dead end?

Only one way to find out.

But now I’m out of a job—not that I’m any good at waiting tables—and Carson’s mother is offering to hire me.

There’s no way I can work for him. I may be from the sticks, but Davis Turner is nobody’s fool. Not anymore.

I refuse to be Carson’s next victim. Something will turn up. I’ll take anything. As long as I can hide away in the city, where my ex can’t find me.

Except my bank account is at rock bottom and rent is due. I’m running out of food. And time.

I guess I have to work for Carson. He’ll be my boss—nothing more. I can keep things professional.

There’s just one little problem.

Carson may not be as horrible as I thought. He’s trying so hard to right the wrongs of his father and brother, who left him with a mess most people would walk away from.

Why do you have to be so nice…so generous…so wickedly funny and so, so sexy?

You’re offering me a future…if I can ignore the mistakes of my past.

You’re an impossible man who’s making everything possible.

But finally, he’s landed in a good place, where he likes the team and the team actually likes him. Even the Condors’ current rebuilding mode suits him. There’s a new owner. New coach. New players. New rules.

But one rule hasn’t changed: don’t seduce your agent-appointed c*ckblocker.

Ian Parker agrees to live with Carter and keep him on the straight and narrow for one simple reason: Alec, the agent in charge of cleaning up Carter’s reputation, has promised him something Ian wants very, very badly.

Even more badly than Carter naked above him and below him and next to him.

A chance for Ian to become an agent.

But Ian didn’t take into account just how persuasive Carter is—or just how desperately he desires to be persuaded. Or how, while spending time with Carter, they’ll somehow stumble into a fake relationship that begins to feel all too real.

It doesn’t matter that Carter’s never fallen in love or that he’s never been in a real relationship. It doesn’t matter that Ian’s risking his future as an agent.

Eric O’Shea needs to make a decision. The annual event his family forces him to attend is just around the corner, and he doesn’t have a date.

Eric never needs help when it comes to finding men. But this time is different – his ex and his new boyfriend will be there, and Eric can’t just bring along one of his usual flings.

His only hope seems to be him: the best friend of his best friend, who he never wanted to meet.

Sean Quinn is a calm, collected, and cultured man; someone who would rather stay at home and read a book than waste his time chasing a date with no future.

Sean isn’t in a rush to find the perfect man, and he certainly doesn’t intend to go out with Eric: his best friend’s other best friend, who he’s avoided meeting for years.

But Sean has a flaw: he can’t say no to anyone, especially not when it comes to his friend Jake, who has a habit of worming his way into other people’s lives.

But it’s just one date, after all: pure fiction. It’s a shame, then, that when Eric needs Sean for another favour, he can’t turn his back. It’s a shame that just when Sean is beginning to understand that Eric isn’t what he seems, he can’t seem to stop before he gets hurt.

Twenty-one days: that’s the agreement.

Twenty-one days of grazing hands, furtive glances, and unexpected kisses.

Twenty-one days where anything goes; except falling in love.

Welcome, Traveler, to Errante Ame’s Carnival of Mysteries!

What you see before you is no mere vagabond circus. Indeed, our show is full of wonders and delights that will leave you breathless, but whether that is with amazement or dread depends entirely upon you. We are unlike any other band of creatures you have ever encountered — and you few brave souls who choose to step beyond your mundane expectations and join us may witness sights beyond your wildest imaginings.

So sit back, relax, and let us entertain you. For time and worlds are fleeting, but each soul has a tale to tell.

For centuries beyond count, Errante Ame has taken his Carnival of Mysteries from world to world and across times, never staying in one place too long lest his great enemy discover his location. Along the way he has accumulated friends and built a family of sorts among his ragtag band of performers, yet he doesn’t dare let anyone get too close to protect them from becoming a target as well. He stands apart, an outsider even among those closest to him, concealing his true nature.

Even from the man who has somehow come to mean more to him than his own life.

The Carnival is all Rafe Harper has ever known. Plucked as a toddler from the remains of a destroyed village on a world he doesn’t remember, he was adopted by Calliope, the Tattooed Lady, and raised among the performers. As an adult, he was given the position of Ringmaster by Errante — though he secretly longed for far more from the enigmatic leader of the Carnival. Despite all the wonders he has seen, Rafe stayed with the Carnival to remain close to Errante, wondering if someday he could break through Errante’s walls and finally reveal how he truly feels.

But unbeknownst to either of them, a traitor lurks among their friends, and unless Rafe can discover the secret of his past, he stands to lose Errante, the Carnival, and perhaps his very soul.

There’s only one problem: Sei’s new betrothed is the legendary Marek Dire.

The dragonrider prince is powerful, intimidating, and larger than life—or at least larger than Sei. Prince Marek doesn’t want a husband, especially one like this.

No matter how much Sei wants to be used.

But Marek underestimates Sei. Wielding kindness as a weapon, Sei discovers unexpected tenderness in Marek—and new fierceness in himself. But being a grail in power-hungry Draskora is dangerous, and Marek still fears two things. That someone else might hurt Sei…

…or that Marek himself will.

When I first saw Luke, I couldn’t stop staring—his beauty and strength captivated me. As I get to know him, I realize he’s the calm to my chaos—the light to my darkness. Of course, he’s straight, so I can’t have him. But all it takes is what I thought was a hot dream, and it appears we’re both open to change. The lines are blurred, and he doesn’t have a problem with that…or me. I don’t deserve him, but he doesn’t see it that way. He’s perfect.

But he doesn’t know what I did. If he knew the ugly truth, I’d lose him. Luke and I can only ever be temporary, so I keep my secrets.

When the past threatens to catch up with me, I have a choice…keep the secret for the sake of me and my brother…or take a chance and tell Luke everything. But damn it, I can’t even get that right.

Is it too much to ask to love and be loved and have a chance at the future I desperately want…with Luke? The past is dead. So why won’t it stay buried?

PUBLISHER: JMS Books

BLURB:

Darik Wilson was normal young man in college until the day he stumbled across a man’s body in a local park. When he touched it, the man’s ghost appeared. It scared the hell out of Darik as the ghost of Cornell Albright begged him to find his murderer. He was the thirteenth victim of the serial killer dubbed as X for the way he laid out his victims. Cornell told Darik what little he recalled about his killer, which Darik passed on to Detective Lang, who believed in the paranormal. Unfortunately, it wasn’t enough to find X, who ceased his murderous spree after Cornell’s death. Cornell stayed around, unable to move on because X was never caught.

Ten years later, X reappears. Darik is on the scene when the third of his victims is discovered, and with Cornell’s help he is able to talk to Morris and relay what he learns to Detective Lang. Now, Darik has two ghosts to contend with. At the same time, he meets Steve Grainger while out jogging. When Steve comes to Darik’s costume shop to rent a costume they strike up a tentative friendship, planning to run together at a park the following Sunday morning.

Things don’t go quite as they expected when X strikes again, killing a man who, in the early morning light might have been mistaken for Steve. Darik and Steve are there when a woman finds the body, at which point Steve discovers he, too, has the ability to see ghosts.

Now, the problem becomes, was Steve the intended victim? If so, will they be able to find and stop X, with the help of the three ghosts, before he strikes again?

BLURB:

Staff Sergeant Avery Carson is a simple man with simple goals—until he learns aliens have arrived on Earth.

Avery never had lofty dreams, and a stint in the Army seemed as good a way as any to both flee his small hometown and get a head start on his job as a mechanic. Eventually, he’d find himself a husband, and if they were lucky they’d be able to scrape together the money to adopt a kid or two.

If they were very lucky, considering the cost of adoption.

That changes when all the gay soldiers on his base are summoned to a special briefing in Washington, D.C. There he is presented with a unique opportunity. If he accepts, he’ll have the man and he’ll have the kids.

The catch? Well, there are several. One—the man is an alien from an all-male world, and Avery would be expected to breed him. Two—his fledgling family would have to be hidden from the public until humanity was ready to accept extraterrestrial life. Three—one of the side effects of contact with the aliens is increased sex drive.

Ok, maybe number three wouldn’t be so bad.

But is the payoff worth the price?

BLURB:

Jackson

Skyler Mason has had me wrapped around his little finger since we were seven years old. It doesn’t matter how ridiculous the situation, how inconvenient it might be for me, or that ninety-nine per cent of the time the mess is one of Skyler’s own making, one flash of those puppy dog eyes and it’s Jackson to the rescue.

Bringing him a fresh pair of underwear at work? Check.

Scaring off clingy hook-ups? Check.

Taking a week off so I can look after him when he’s sick? Check.

And it’s never bothered me one little bit. Because if Skyler’s happy, I’m happy. It’s as simple as that.

But now something’s happened, and for the first time in our friendship, I don’t know how to fix it.

There’s no WikiHow on what to do if your best friend suddenly realizes he has feelings for you. And even if there were, I doubt it would help; because no one else is like Skyler and me.

“Best friends” isn’t even the right term for it. We’re just us.

Or, at least, we were…

All I want is for everything to be how it used to. I don’t want Skyler to tense up when I go to touch him. I don’t want him sitting halfway across the room when we should be cuddling on the couch. And I sure as hell don’t want him staying out the whole night and not even texting to check in.

If I could snap my fingers and suddenly be attracted to him, I’d do it without question. But I know that’s not a realistic option. I’ve never been attracted to men. Truthfully, I’ve never been attracted to anyone… Not in that way, at least.

Love, on the other hand? That’s something I know a hell of a lot about.

BLURB:

Felix

Employed at Pierced Pretties, Felix is used to caring about the needs of others. When Prince Rainier comes looking for a Kitten to play with, Felix is sure he won’t be chosen. Except he is. Not only does Rainier dote on him, he respects boundaries and is willing to let Felix set them too. Felix never imagined Rainier would be quite so sweet and adoring, but as they grow closer, the Prince grows thinner.

Rainier

He’s spent years controlling his intake. Even though some have told him he’s too thin, he knows he needs to lose weight thanks to his prudish Mum’s constant complaints: He needs less food and more self-control. He’s just like his dead Father and sister.

Pampering and spoiling his Kitten brings Rainier joy. He’s supposed to be the one to take care of others, but when Felix flips their roles, it might be what he needs. If he wants a future with Felix, he’ll have to gain and lose some things he didn’t think were possible.
