RELEASE DATE: 11/27/2023
BLURB:
No one is good all of the time. Especially me.
Six years ago, I promised my friend Kellan that I’d never mess around with his little brother. I accepted it. I didn’t regret it, and I didn’t think twice about it. Milo Sterling—the good student, perfect son, and promising dancer—was off limits.
But that was before.
Before we went away to college. Before Kellan died. Before I flunked out of school.
Now, I’m back home, and Milo’s different. He’s quieter and colder, no longer a boy but a man. And that hurt in his eyes? I put it there the night I failed to save Kellan’s life. I have a lot to make up for. Falling for Milo, no matter how much I want him, would be one more thing to add to my list.
But promises are meant to be broken, and if there’s one thing I’m bad at, it’s being good.

When Light meets Dark, the resulting conflagration may burn bright…or fizzle to ash.
Alistair became a paladin to honor his father’s legacy. While he’s never been particularly devout, he’s determined to live up to the responsibility of his station. His first solo mission sounded simple enough: purge the undead terrorizing a remote mountain village and bring the wicked necromancer controlling them to justice. But when he winds up captured, he begins to suspect that the village faces a far greater threat than a few skeletons…and that his strange captor might need protecting just as badly.
Paladins have hunted Ignatius his entire life. His crime—daring to be born with the wrong kind of magic. Ostracized from society, he has spent years on the run with only his undead for company. The mountains seemed like the perfect place to seek refuge for the winter…until an obnoxiously handsome paladin arrives on his doorstep. Ignatius expects to loathe Alistair like the rest of his arrogant kin; however, when a harsh winter storm forces them together, he finds himself opening up to the paladin in ways he’d never dreamed possible.
Alistair and Ignatius both have every reason not to trust the other. Alistair is a paladin of the Light while Ignatius is a necromancer of the Dark. Yet, as mysterious magic threatens to eradicate the nearby village, they have little choice except to combine forces if they hope to survive. But can a paladin and a necromancer really set aside their differences for the greater good…or will the rift between them prove impossible to ever bridge?

Killian Thornton likes his downtown life, tending bar, and enjoying time with his friends and community. He’d given up on passion long ago—he wasn’t cut out for grand romance or dramatic gestures. Then one night, in a characteristic act of kindness, Killian offers his couch to help a friend’s little brother find his feet in a new city, and everything Killian thought he knew about himself and his little life gets turned upside down.
Lewis Bernard, the funny, quirky guy happy to find a spot on Killian’s couch, can’t believe his luck. After being forced to flee his parents’ house, he was afraid of what came next, but Sacramento seems to be treating him just fine. The stunningly handsome bartender who lives downstairs from his brother offers Lewis his couch and doesn’t even balk when Lewis discovers two abandoned kittens in a vacant lot as they walk home.
Vet bills, cat food bills, litter boxes—none of it was on Killian’s Christmas agenda, but he jumps in gamely to help because all the shelters seem to be full, and that’s just the kind of guy Killian is. But kittens can multiply faster than rabbits, and Killian and Lewis accidentally rescue more and more cats.
Lewis starts to panic. He really wants to know Killian better, but with each act of kindness, Lewis falls further in love while ruining Killian’s life. How can Killian find time to fall in love with Lewis and ask him to stay if they’re inundated with destructive furry poop-machines who all seem to need a home before Christmas?

Viragor
CerbSec is the largest personal security corporation on the Pleasure Planet. Their agents are known for their loyalty, their ferocity, and their honor – rare and precious in a world where anything and everything has a price. They say, ‘the hounds of CerbSec cannot be swayed or bought, and if you kill one, you will never be able to hide from the rest.’
I’m about to test this belief because I’ve been hired to cut off the head of the beast and take out their mysterious leader known only as Hades. I’m not expecting this to be a problem, especially when I discover his greatest secret – that he is a mere human.
What nothing could have prepared me for, however, is discovering that he is MINE.
Lochos
I’ve spent my entire life on the Pleasure Planet, hidden and safe in the security of CerbSec’s headquarters, Elysium, with my twin daughters. Everything I do is to keep my girls safe and to ensure CerbSec remains on the right side of history, even if we are protecting some of the scummiest criminals this side of the ‘Verse.
I’ve spent my entire life on the Pleasure Planet, hidden and safe in the security of CerbSec’s headquarters, Elysium, with my twin, teenage daughters. Everything I do is to keep my girls safe and to ensure CerbSec remains on the right side of history, even if we are protecting some of the scummiest criminals this side of the ‘Verse.
Of course, there is no way that I could have predicted that my little sanctuary was about to be invaded by an assassin sent to kill me or that instead of killing me, he’d claim that I’m going to be his spouse and have his babies…I mean, who could have predicted that?!
I’m too old to be a father again, especially since he wants me to be his incubator?!

BLURB:
Edward wasn’t a fixer. He wasn’t someone’s white knight, maybe beige in a good light, and no one with any sense would give him a sharp implement to wield.
He liked his numbers and had been known to get occasionally creative with a tax return, could cook a respectable shepherd’s pie and was kind, or tried to be.
Which left him somewhat of a loss to know what to do with a battered and bruised young man with haunted eyes and a penchant for scrubbing his hands until they almost bled, who clung onto Edward’s old childhood stuffed bear like it was the answer to all life’s troubles.
But it was soon to be Christmas. A season of miracles. A season of wishes. Of hopes and dreams that sometimes came true. Maybe, just maybe, not all knights needed to slay dragons.
Some might just gather pieces of a single broken heart together, one fluffy blanket, one gentle word, and one shoulder to cry on, one step at a time.

Note to self: dumping cocktails into a man’s lap does not count as a meet cute.
Accidentally throwing a jug of Sex on the Beach onto the hottest guy at drag brunch was not how I wanted to start my performance, and forgetting to ask for his name was the cherry on top.
But when he finds me online and invites me out for drinks, it seems like my chaotic shenanigans might have worked out for once. Falling into bed with West is easy, but balancing a gorgeous, rugby player boyfriend with a day job and drag is harder than dancing in eight inch heels.

Nearly getting killed in a mudslide only reminds me why I hate the mountains. I’m uninjured, but my car is wrecked, there’s no way I can get into town, and of course there’s no reception here.
I’m screwed.
Maybe it’s karma for putting this trip off. I haven’t been able to bring myself to visit since Pa’s funeral.
And then there are the painful memories that still haunt me of my first love…and first heartbreak.
The summer I turned eighteen, I exchanged letters with a free-spirited, long-haired boy who lived down the road from my father. We hung out all day and wrote each other romantic letters all night. It was the best time of my life.
But now they’re both gone, and I’m all alone.
Literally. This mountain feels deserted. Like I’m the only living soul on it.
And then, just as I’m about to give up all hope, a pickup truck pulls up. A man steps out.
Not just any man, though… Pure. Mountain man. Perfection.
Big muscles, a thick beard just begging to be touched, and an intense stare that’s making me rethink my dislike of the mountains.
Harrick offers me a place to stay, and despite being a total stranger, there’s something familiar about him that makes me feel like I can trust him. Also, what other choice have I got?
He takes me back to his cabin. Turns out, he’s not much of a talker. I can work with that.
We hook up. I can definitely work with that.
I almost forget that I’m here to sell my father’s house and finally move on from the guy who left me brokenhearted all those years ago.
And then I find a letter in Harrick’s house—one of the letters I wrote all those years ago—and everything changes.

I left that scene and settled in working at the Broken Horn Ranch. I was still good at denying the loneliness that kept creeping in, but the animals on the ranch and my plants kept me company.
And so did my best friend of three years, Zane.
Since I was so good at denying things, there was no way in God’s green acre I was going to tell my straight best friend that I’d fallen for him.
Yep, I’d just live my life out with the violets on my windowsill and carry that torch to my grave.
But sometimes things don’t go as planned.
Zane
When you’re close to forty, you should have your life figured out; job, home… and your sexuality.
I’ve never been one to follow the path of what’s expected and it’s hard to settle down when you don’t feel the connection needed for warming up the cold winter nights. Except with Alec.
After months of dealing with a tiny mid-life crisis, grappling with these newfound and unexpected feelings, I know I’m in love with my best friend.
When a piece of his rodeo past shows up at the ranch, it’s the motivation I need to openly claim the man who’s lassoed my heart.

Being a hitman is the loneliest of jobs. We don’t have many friends. Some don’t even have family. Lovers? Try explaining to your boyfriend why there’s blood on your shirt.
Christmas is the worst time to be alone, but this year, love is on the cards for me. All thanks to a letter I found in the street.
It reads, “Dear Santa, all I want for Christmas is revenge…”
At first, I’m intrigued by the words, the grisly details, and the rage steaming off the page. The author doesn’t know it yet, but we are a perfect fit. His bloodthirst is equal to mine, his creativity in coming up with ways to kill is admirable, and when I track him down, I instantly fall for the wrath in his dark eyes.
His wish is my command, if he’s ready to pay the price – being mine.
Rowan
My therapist always tells me I should let go of my pain and rage. But I don’t want to let go. I want the men who attacked my family dead.
I just never thought I’d get my wish granted. But there’s a catch. The handsome monster who abducts me to his lair wants me as his payment.
Me, the strange loner filled with bitterness and sarcasm. Me, who never even had a boyfriend. Me, with my cane and irrational fears.
But I’d sell my soul to the Devil for revenge, so I might as well offer my body to a seductive assassin. After all, he cooks well, kills people, buys me bath bombs… What else could I want in a boyfriend?

Nik Kringle
Bah humbug! Being the son of Santa wasn’t all it was cracked up to be.
Having no desire to follow in daddy dearest’s footsteps, I left Santa’s Village and never looked back. Unfortunately, my life’s goal of avoiding all the merriment associated with Christmas became next to impossible when my boss ordered me to ride on our company float in the town Christmas parade. The only silver lining is spending more time with my secret crush, Keegan, an omega who smells like gingerbread. The cute barista’s smile lights up my world brighter than any Christmas star. Too bad he practically breathes Christmas cheer, while I would rather forget the day exists. When Santa’s head elf appears demanding I return home–a mistake, or maybe fate–lands both myself and Keegan back in Santa’s Village. Now I’m dealing with disappointed parents, a grumpy elf, obstinate reindeer, and an omega with an unexpected heat. Who just might also be my fated mate.
Keegan Mallory
Christmas was my favorite time of year!
Making gingerbread houses, baking cookies, and singing Christmas carols with my family are traditions I look forward to every single year. Riding on my company’s float in the parade was supposed to be the kickoff to my holiday festivities. Being magically transported to Santa’s Village by a seven-foot-tall, grumpy elf definitely wasn’t on my to-do list. Now I’m stuck here for a week with the alpha I’ve been crushing on for months. Nik Kringle is sexy and mysterious, but he’s an unapologetic grinch. He’s also Santa’s son! Nik says when he takes me back to the human realm, I won’t remember any of this. Not the village, his famous parents, the ice-skating penguins, or him. When my heat unexpectedly hits, Nik and I give into the desire we’ve been dancing around for months. How can I be expected to return home, leaving my fated mate behind, without any memory of him? Will Santa grant me a last-minute Christmas wish?

When a strict alpha who never wanted a mate meets a young omega who wants nothing more, they soon discover that fate is inevitable.
Emerson: The only thing I disliked more than crowds was High Society social events. If I could avoid both altogether I’d be happy. But when Orion Strongfire approached me to assist him in recruiting alphas to his cause in fighting for omega rights, I knew it was inevitable. That was how I ended up attending a holiday ball surrounded by the who’s who of society.
If that wasn’t terrible enough, there’s this feisty little omega who captured my attention from the moment I saw him from across the dance floor. I don’t do relationships and I certainly don’t claim mates. Especially not omegas who are way too young for me and the half-brother to my boss. I tried to ignore the attraction, however, when Jett Strongfire cornered me and claimed I was his fated mate, he was nearly impossible to resist.
Jett: Running away from my aunt was the best thing that ever happened to me. I was taking a major risk, but my brother and his husband have been nothing but kind and showed me a whole new world and possibilities I never even considered. But, my first heat is coming–quickly. Orion might be reluctant to approve a mate for me, but I refuse to be a burden for longer than necessary. Besides, it had always been a dream of mine to have a mate of my own. So when it was suggested to use the big holiday ball as a way to meet a potential mate, I couldn’t turn down the opportunity.
In my wildest dreams, I never expected someone like Emerson to be the alpha I’d want. He was significantly older than me, stiff, strict and had walls around his walls. And yet— I was drawn to him in a way that was impossible to ignore. Emerson was meant to be my alpha. Now I just need to convince him.
