RELEASE DATE: 4/8/2024
BLURB:
Playing a lead role in a book-to-movie adaptation with a wild fan base? Sign me up! The only downside is that I’m cast alongside Jacoby “Heartthrob” Hart—Hollywood’s golden boy. If only they knew he was an uppity, pompous snob.
We don’t get along, and if you’re reading the tabloids, you’d assume it was because I “stole” his girlfriend, but they have it all wrong. Jacoby and his cold shoulder started this, and now we’re set to play lovers. The only thing I’d love to do is strangle him, but I’m a professional.
Behind the scenes, we’re either bickering or avoiding each other, but when the cameras start rolling, I can’t believe how much chemistry we have.
One night, during a passionate argument, something happens that I never anticipated. The chemistry that started out as an act turns into much more behind closed doors, but we both have secrets, and Hollywood is a hard place to keep those.

BLURB:
Two men, each resigned to solitude, find romance when brought together by a hurricane. Can their growing love survive the storm created by their secrets?
Young Eric Turner’s quiet suburban life is upended when a hurricane strands three foreigners in his quaint Connecticut town. Immediately attracted to the grouchy Carrington Howard, and enchanted by Carrington’s mother, he impulsively offers them shelter during the storm.
Carrington, using an alias last name of Howard, is the President of a European country that has declared independence from Russia. While traveling with his mother and bodyguard, Stefan, they are unceremoniously dumped by their driver due to an impending hurricane. With nowhere to go, Carrington’s mother accepts a Connecticut man’s offer to stay at his home. Carrington and Stefan create a ruse that they are romantically involved to hide their true identities from the unsuspecting host. But when Carrington learns his life is in danger from a Russian intelligence operative, he feels it only fair to reveal his true identify. The more time he spends with Eric, the more Carrington realizes he isn’t as straight as he thought, and he’s developing real feelings that accompany the attraction.
Eric’s and Carrington’s growing love and passion must overcome the challenges of being from two different continents, the demands and expectations placed upon them, naysayer friends, and one determined assassin.

BLURB:
Minor leagues. Major chemistry.
Hope is familiar territory for Gene Ionescu. He has always loved baseball, a sport made for underdogs and optimists like him. He also loves his team, the minor league Beaverton Beavers, and, for the most part, he loves the career he’s built. As the first openly trans player in professional baseball, Gene has nearly everything he’s ever let himself dream of—that is, until Luis Estrada, Gene’s former teammate and current rival, gets traded to the Beavers, destroying the careful equilibrium of Gene’s life.
Gene and Luis can’t manage a civil conversation off the field or a competent play on it, but in the close confines of dugout benches and roadie buses, they begrudgingly rediscover a comfortable rhythm. As the two grow closer, the tension between them turns electric, and their chemistry spills past the confines of the stadium. For every tight double play they execute, there’s also a glance at summer-tan shoulders or a secret shared, each one a breathless moment of possibility that ignites in Gene the visceral, terrifying kind of desire he’s never allowed himself. Soon, Gene has to reconcile the quiet, minor-league-sized life he used to find fulfilling with the major-league dreams Luis inspires.

Haley-
My life has been a series of one nightmare after another. Every day is a fight to be stronger as I try to outrun the past that refuses to give me peace. Somehow, I managed to keep myself under control…
Until Bunky messed it all up.
His soul screams to mine in a way that awakens every part of me, even the parts I’ve tried to keep buried. We’re a jagged fit, a match made in Hell, but I can’t have him because together we’d burn the world to the ground.
Bunky doesn’t see that. He’d rather fuel the toxic fire of obsession than give up, and I don’t know how much longer I can hold out before I cave to the demon that everyone should fear.
Including him.
Bunky-
I’m not what most people would consider normal.
Everything in my life is touched by darkness and shaped by my past. Living life constantly on the brink of being swallowed up by the monster that wants to consume me is exhausting, so I drowned myself in vices to try and smother the memories.
Until I realized all I needed was my missing piece.
Whaley flipped a switch in my brain, making me see he was meant to be mine, but he’s not letting us be together like we were made to. He’s too worried we’ll destroy everything in our path if we give in to the connection that tethers us together.
Good thing I have no problem watching the world burn if it means I get him.

But it could also tear down the delicate balance they’ve worked so hard to achieve. Do they really want to take that risk?
He’d love to brood over that a little more, but murder never takes a day off. A decade-old mystery of the missing Parker family is heating up. Most seem to think the Parkers pulled a disappearing act to get out of financial debt. It isn’t before the PTU finds out the reality is far grimmer than that. It seems that Quinn stumbled upon something better left hidden. Now that Rain has stumbled upon it, too, he has to be careful that he doesn’t meet the same fate.
Sometimes it amazes him how far he’s come from strait-laced FBI agent who couldn’t admit—even to himself—that he saw ghosts. He’s done the work, learning to get some measure of control of his paranormal side. And while his relationship with ghosts may not be perfect, it’s evolved into something symbiotic…which is a very good thing.

“Oh my God, Briar! Where did you get that prosthetic leg?”
Things as a parent Lane thought he’d never say for four hundred, Alex.
But that’s par for the course in Lane Ashbury’s life considering everything is on the verge of falling apart. He not only has a toddler building her skills as a professional klepto, but he’s also on the verge of divorce, and hoping desperately to save his business before it goes under.
Luckily, the owner of the stolen leg might just be an angel in disguise when he offers to be Lane’s new nanny instead of pressing charges.
The whole thing would be perfect if Bowen Galanos didn’t make Lane feel things. If he didn’t make Lane question everything he thought he knew about himself every time Bowen’s touch lingered just a little too long.
And when Bowen offers some no-strings benefits to their friendship to see if maybe Lane’s not as straight as he thought, Lane finds it impossible to say no. I mean, it’s not like he’s going to realize he’s madly in love with his nanny, right?
That would be absurd.
That would be ridiculous.
And knowing him, that would be exactly his luck.

The thought of going solo makes me want to puke, but the only person available to come with me is the one guy who’s completely unimpressed by my trust-fund lifestyle and wild antics.
Hunter
Penn and I have nothing in common. The guy’s never even had a job, while my career is one of my top priorities.

Sharing a room with the guy for an entire week is going to be one helluva challenge.

When was the right time to tell someone that silver flames were shooting from their hair? And that your own tranquil green desired nothing more than to tangle with them, if only it could escape a malevolent orange flare hounding your every move?
Over-stressed businessman Charles Heyer is not like most people. With a rare medical condition that scrambles the senses, he experiences emotions as flashes of colour, giving them the power to disrupt, dismay, or delight. Alone in his over-vivid world, a devastating bereavement leaves him mentally scarred and recuperating on the picturesque French island of Ré where, through a chance encounter and a good deed, he is introduced to Florian, a flirty local salt farmer.
What with trying to protect the island salt cooperative from a corporate takeover and keeping a watchful eye on his errant grandfather, handsome Florian is not as carefree as he appears. Falling in love with this odd Englishman is as unexpected as it is welcome. Both exploring new feelings, the lazy days of summer stretch out for miles until a visitor from Charles’s London life throws their peaceful idyll into a kaleidoscope of chaos. And, all of a sudden, the island’s glorious palette of colour turns several shades darker.

Things get really wonky when my boss rescues me from my car and takes me home with him.

He may be one of the growliest people in town, but Dr. Evers takes care of me and protects me in a way no one ever has. Still, I know better than to think that will last once he realizes what a disaster I am. Plus, Dr. Evers swore off all relationships after he lost his husband. And then there’s the fact that he’s my boss…
But when I end up managing the Devon Falls Leaf Festival and quickly discover I can’t do it all on my own, Dr. Evers steps in to save me yet again. Now I can’t decide what’s harder: earning the acceptance of an entire town, or making sure I don’t fall hard for a doctor I can never have.

BLURB:
No matter the demon, the hunter’s role is clear…
A thousand years ago, my great-something uncle founded the Collective, a secret organization dedicated to protecting humanity from demons. The hunter tradition has been passed down over the generations, from parent to child, secure in the knowledge that the Collective is a community of safety and knowledge.
But betrayal sucks, and six years ago, it turned my world—and the Collective—upside down. After generations of deception, the hunters left behind are picking up the pieces and trying something we’ve never done before—working side by side with our enemy.
Demons, just to be clear. They’re apparently “misunderstood,” but the jury is still out on that. And I—a twentysomething archivist with an addiction to hoodies—somehow ended up as liaison to the demon ambassador.
If it sounds like a nightmare, that’s because it is. The demon ambassador is a stuck-up, pretentious twat… not to mention he could kill me with a thought. Worst of all, he’s getting under my skin in ways I never expected. But I’m the only hunter who doesn’t actively want to kill him, so… tag, I’m it.
I’ve already been betrayed by those I should have been able to trust the most. How hard can hanging out with a higher demon be?

My first mistake was admitting to Sawyer that I couldn’t remember the last time I’d been kissed–because the punk leaned over and kissed me, right then and there.

Now I’ve gotten a taste, and he wants another taste of me, too. But no matter how hot it is when we’re together, Sawyer’s straight. This is innocent fun for him, and I’ve long since learned to shove my true feelings for him where the sun don’t shine. I’m no good at feelings, anyway.
He’s renovating the brewery where I work, and now we’re in closer contact than ever. My heart’s been shattered before, and there’s no chance I’ll let anything threaten the deepest friendship of my life.

Drystan
I noticed him immediately.
Wylder McCallen.
The guy with the headphones, intense eyes and dimples. God, I’m a sucker for dimples.
What should’ve been a year of me laying low and sticking to the plan was tossed out the window after that.
Young and love-drunk fools like us could’ve never seen what was coming…
I wonder if I can even be that guy again. If I can be that person Wylder fell for and make him stick around this time…
Wylder
I’ve always stood out, but back then I was not too fond of it until the day it manifested the perfect guy for me.
Drystan Locke.
He was brave, strong, and unapologetically himself—everything I wasn’t.
We linked up on a molecular level, speaking without words and riding on pure instincts.
We were molten. Hearts open for the taking.
But that was before. And this is now.
Now we have to find a way back. Now…
It’s time to be wild.

Hudson- My vision showed me what awaited me on my vacation, and it wasn’t a fun and rollicking time. I’m a legal librarian, but I’ve had visions of the future since I was a child, and this was supposed to be a fun time with my best friend, Bennie. That went south on day one. A dead body found in the white sand along the California Coast was to be the beginning. That was bad enough! But what followed defied the laws of nature. I wasn’t sure who or what my hot next-door neighbor was – but I knew he wasn’t human. But I couldn’t stop myself. I was drawn to him and knew he felt the same way. But would our infatuation be the end of both of us?
Florent- The hot nerdy neighbor had found the body, and it was upsetting. Drained of blood… It hadn’t been the first to be found in Boggy Bay, which meant Armie and I weren’t here alone. The vampire world had learned to hide itself so we could survive in a world that had caught up to us in almost every way. Humans now had many weapons that could destroy us way too easily. But… I had been stuck in the mire of my eternity for too long. But Hudson drew me to him. A seer? It would be best if I left him alone. Our secret was never kind to the humans we became infatuated with. But I couldn’t escape the pull of him. My feelings were too strong. However, I didn’t know my love would put him in danger. My past had returned.

A deadly trial to keep his throne. A dangerous game to win his heart.
King Heroux was a famed warlord who sought to extend his Merovian lands by invading and conquering foreign kingdoms to create a vast and wealthy empire.
Until Henri killed him.
Now Henri has claimed his entire empire. The desert land of Merovia is different from anything he has ever known. The heat is punishing and the customs are strange. But more formidable than that are the people who do not want to embrace him as their new king, and the other Merovian kings who are keen to exact revenge on him for slaying one of their own.
As former regent and brother to the late King Heroux, Malik understands his people’s hatred toward the foreign king. But with a long-forgotten threat rising in the north, and the pending summit which will pitch all Merovian kings in a fight to the death to retain their kingdoms, Malik has little time to concern himself with Henri. Even if he does find him aggravatingly handsome.
When a highly coveted courtesan known as the Silk Rose is gifted to Henri in the hopes of securing an alliance, motives are questioned and loyalties are tested. But the Silk Rose has her own secrets, and she refuses to be sacrificed in this world of gods and kings.

BLURB:
Two years ago, something inside me changed, and I’ve been punishing the people I love ever since.
Last semester, I nearly torched my relationship with my best friend. Destroyed the only frame I’ve ever truly fit into.
I caught feelings where they didn’t belong and drowned myself in the only comfort I’ve known: numbing my mind with pills and alcohol. The aftermath? A stint in rehab and university probation.
There’s no lifeline strong enough to keep my head above water, but that doesn’t stop Corvin Morales from taking the reins and forcing me to shore.
The man whose eyes haunt my dreams from a dangerous mix of terror and desire.
Corvin promises he can tame my destructive tendencies, quell the excruciating pain deep inside if I submit to one simple request: give my body and pleasure over to him.
It’s intoxicating, and for an addict like me, the more euphoric marks he covers me in, the more comfortable in my pain I become.
If all the love in the world can’t save me, maybe some cruelty can. Or maybe we’ll end up right back where we started: one man at the end of his rope and another powerless to stop the noose from catching.
