SERIES: The Lindenshaw Mysteries #7

PUBLISHER: Riptide Publishing

LENGTH: 337

RELEASE DATE: 5/6/2024

BLURB:

Some truths don’t set you free.

The pandemic may be winding down, but for Chief Inspector Robin Bright, life never really goes back to normal. One second, he’s having breakfast with his adorable husband—and their equally adorable Newfoundland, Hamish—and the next, he gets the dreaded call: a body’s been found. What initially appears to be a mugging gone wrong turns out to be murder, and Robin is on the case.

Adam Matthews is happy to act as a sounding board—much as he tries not to get involved—but when Robin’s case intersects with a mystery from within their own family, he’s embroiled whether he likes it or not. Loquacious genealogists, secret pregnancies, and a potentially dubious inheritance all ensure that Adam won’t be doing his hundred-and-one headteacher tasks in peace anytime soon.

Lies pile onto lies, and the more the story changes, the more the killer is revealed. Without proof, however, Robin and his team are powerless, and the murderer isn’t the only one with something to hide. But Robin won’t stop until he’s found the whole truth, and nothing but.

Michael Dornan is 45 and has a reputation as the toughest Daddy in town – even amongst his fellow Ivy League Daddies. Michael is gruff, grumpy, and he simply doesn’t do sweet treats – but that didn’t stop him from investing in Korben’s candy start-up and asserting his authority from day one.

Having invested his own money, Michael now wants to make all the business decisions himself. But will the sassy, strong-willed Korben accept Michael’s advice? Or will Michael need to bring his stern Daddy Dom side to the fore to ensure that Korben makes the right choices?

Michael and Korben might be polar opposites in just about every way, but once their chemistry clicks it’s impossible to keep them apart. However a blast from Michael’s past threatens to bring not only Korben’s business down, but Korben and Michael’s burgeoning relationship too…

RELEASE DATE: 5/6/2024

BLURB:

David- Life broke me, and I crawled back home with my tail between my legs. At almost forty, I had nothing to show for the life I lived except for a marvelous pooch named Liza Minnelli. I was lonely – but too scarred by the past to do much about it. Then, I almost ran over Taylor Lautner with my car. Well, someone who looked a lot like him anyway, and my world flip-flopped in a way I hadn’t expected. Every time we saw each other, I fell harder, and the thing that threw me off the most was that he seemed to feel the same way. But all I can think about is if he will leave me too.

Justin- When I failed an entire semester my senior year of college, I had to come home. It sucked. An affair with one of my professors had really done a number on me, especially when I discovered he was married and had kids. I lost myself after that. I felt horrible and filthy – I felt used. Now, I work at a coffee shop part-time so I can pay for my online classes. It surprised me how much I liked it in this small town where my parents had recently moved. Then I met David. Why did I have to have a thing for older professor types with adorable puppies? I had a type. But he was so in his shell, like a turtle hiding himself away. But I was drawn to him and couldn’t help it.

RELEASE DATE: 5/6/2024

BLURB:

A dragon god is watching. And plotting.

Finding out about dragons is scary and terrifying but also thrilling. Kit learning he has two dragon mates is the stuff epic fantasies are made of. As a kid, Kit fantasized about the big, bad dragons, not the knight in shining armor.

He didn’t want a hero who’d sacrifice him to save the world. No, Kit wanted someone who’d burn the world for him. That wasn’t too much to ask, now was it? Apparently not, because Fate granted his wish—he has his own dragons. Kit is drawn to both Hudson and Connie, but there are secrets lurking.

And some of the secrets go back hundreds of years.

Darkness creeps closer.

Kit’s welcome to the paranormal world was rough, to say the least, and left him with a new fear unlocked. Blood. Which is going to be a problem if he wants to claim his dragon mates. It’s a necessary element.

Without it, the fragile bond forming between him, Hudson, and Connie cannot be completed. Still, Kit’s firmly entrenched in this new world and he was willing to fight for what he wants against an enemy who is not only stalking his family, but also him.

As Kit walks in the darkness, the threat edges ever closer. Can they establish the bond before disaster strikes?

Aurum has a problem. A huge, dragon-sized one—his identical twin brother, Saffron. Before the Dragonfate Games, they were thick as thieves. Now their arguments over fated mates are intensifying. While Saffron swoons over romance, Aurum’s sick of it. He’s losing his brother, and he’ll do anything to stop it… even if it means sabotaging their shared season of the Dragonfate Games.

Mylo has a problem. Well, maybe a few. One: he’s painfully shy. Two: he’s chubby. Three: his parents forcibly entered him into a popular TV dating show. Four: he’s the only omega who can tell Aurum and Saffron apart. Five: that really pisses off Aurum, and he’s cute when he’s mad…

When Aurum confronts the plump little weasel about his meddling, he loses his cool… and his mind. Because Mylo does weird, magical things to him—and Aurum’s not sure how long he can resist.

BLURB:

The 1960 baseball season is shaping up to be the worst year of Eddie O’Leary’s life. He can’t manage to hit the ball, his new teammates hate him, he’s living out of a suitcase, and he’s homesick. When the team’s owner orders him to give a bunch of interviews to some snobby reporter, he’s ready to call it quits. He can barely manage to behave himself for the length of a game, let alone an entire season. But he’s already on thin ice, so he has no choice but to agree.

Mark Bailey is not a sports reporter. He writes for the arts page, and these days he’s barely even managing to do that much. He’s had a rough year and just wants to be left alone in his too-empty apartment, mourning a partner he’d never been able to be public about. The last thing he needs is to spend a season writing about New York’s obnoxious new shortstop in a stunt to get the struggling newspaper more readers.

Isolated together within the crush of an anonymous city, these two lonely souls orbit each other as they slowly give in to the inevitable gravity of their attraction. But Mark has vowed that he’ll never be someone’s secret ever again, and Eddie can’t be out as a professional athlete. It’s just them against the world, and they’ll both have to decide if that’s enough.

Mac has never really felt like he belonged. Definitely not at home—his dad’s politics and toxic masculinity make a real connection impossible. He thought he fit in on the baseball team, but that’s only because he was pretending to be someone he wasn’t. Finding his first gay friend, Cammy, was momentous; finally, he could be his authentic self around someone else. But as it turned out, not really. Cammy could be cruel, and his “advice” often came off way harsh.

And then, Mac meets Flor, who shows him that you can be both fierce and kind, and Mikey, who is superhot and might maybe think the same about him. Over the course of one hot, life-changing summer, Mac will stand face-to-face with desire, betrayal, and letting go of shame, which will lead to some huge discoveries about the realness of truly belonging.

BLURB:

Joaquin Zoido is out and proud of it. And while he knew his dad and sister, Carmen, would be super supportive, he wasn’t quite ready for them to surprise him with a queerceañera, a coming out party to celebrate him. Between all the talks of tastings and venues, and the chirping of his family’s RSVP texts, the question of who will be his chambelán is on everyone’s minds.

What Joaquin is decidedly trying to not think about is whether his mom is going attend or if she’s finally replaced him with her favorite godson, Felix—the boy who made Joaquin realize he was gay and who was his first kiss. But when an impromptu lie snowballs into a full-fledged family-group-chat rumor, every Zoido from Texas to Mexico starts believing that Felix is not only Joaquin’s chambelán but also his brand-new boyfriend.

To avoid the pity and sympathies of an ill-timed breakup, Joaquin and Felix strike a deal—they’ll stay fake boyfriends until the party. Yet, as the day draws nearer and old feelings spark anew, Joaquin will have to decide whether a picture-perfect queerceañera with a fake boyfriend is worth giving up the chance of something real.

Some love survives death.

Mordyn never got over the horror of losing his fated mate. Even a hundred years later, he blames himself. What kind of vampire is he, that he failed to protect the man he promised forever?

The worst kind.

So when fate offers him a second chance, he refuses.

Apollo is his mate reborn.

But Mordyn isn’t going to mess up his life a second time.

No matter how much he yearns to sink his fangs into Apollo and reclaim what he’s lost.

Apollo doesn’t lust after vampires. He hunts them down and locks them up—if he doesn’t just stake them. It’s hard work, but someone’s got to do it—and every kill soothes some of that ever-burning anger inside of him.

But Mordyn’s smile fans the flames inside him in all the wrong ways.

He’s hot, yes, but he’s the enemy.

And yet Apollo keeps having these dreams. Dreams in which he’s not quite himself. Dreams that only stoke the fire he tries so hard to keep in check while he’s awake.

When he’s forced to work with Mordyn, he doesn’t know how to manage. Before long, he’s either going to screw the vampire or stick a knife in him.

He almost doesn’t care which.

All I want is for someone to finally see me, to want to get to know me, to not move on to someone more interesting. But I never would’ve anticipated that I’d be on my way to a friend’s wedding when someone finally does see me; so much so, he almost hits me with his car.

Forced together and told to work out whatever this thing is between us, it turns out Elliot may be the one person in the world capable of keeping my temper at bay. He…gets me. Maybe we could be good for each other. Maybe…more?

Turns out we are good together, very good! He brings out a softer side of me no one has seen before, including me. I can’t possibly be falling for him, can I?

See what I mean? Red flags galore. So many red flags I can’t count them all.

According to my father, a famous criminal, following in his footsteps was the only path for me.

But I knew no one could love a felon; no one that I could love, anyway. I despised that part of myself.

And so I decided to pretend that it didn’t exist, only to realize I couldn’t pretend forever.

BLURB:

Alpha Emerson Holland has been running his father’s hotel for years. It’s his life, his entire world, and he won’t do anything to jeopardize it. He will eat nothing but jam sandwiches for weeks on end if it means being able to pay his staff when times are tight, and he will work every shift for free if he has to. He will even deny himself what he truly wants most, because being in love with an employee is strictly forbidden. When his father tells him that he must sacrifice just a little more, it’s not even a question. Of course he will—even if it means losing himself.

Omega Roland has been in love with his boss for as long as he can remember. He dreams about him every night, fantasizes about him every day, but that’s all it will ever be—a fantasy. The few times he’s gotten the courage to hint that they could be something more, Monsieur Holland has made it perfectly clear that things must remain professional between them. And so far, Roland has listened. Except things have been getting weird around the hotel lately. Clandestine meetings, whispered rumors, and it’s obvious that Emerson is falling apart. Roland is certain he can make his boss feel better—but only if he agrees to break a few rules.
