BLURB:
All’s fair in love and…publishing?
It’s nearly Christmas, and Dashiell Dawson Dane already has enough on his plate: finding a present for his parents, coming up with excuses not to hang the Christmas lights, and finishing this stupid story he’s been writing (okay, maybe he needs to start writing it). On top of all that, Bobby has been acting…well, strange. The last thing Dash needs, in other words, is to play host when Marshall Crowe—celebrity author and, worse, a friend of Dash’s parents—comes to town.
When Marshall dies in the middle of a public reading of his latest novel, Dash can’t bring himself to believe it was an accident, but he’s determined to stay away from the investigation. Until, that is, the prime suspect shows up on his doorstep, begging for his help. The catch? It’s the same woman who accused Dash, not so long ago, of murdering Vivienne Carver—Hastings Rock’s resident cozy mystery author, Pippi Parker. And helping Pippi might just be the death of Dash.

Secrets get out and Sebastian must fight for his place in the community as he reckons with his connection to the magic of Moonlight Falls and what it means for defeating his family’s curse and restoring the veins of power once and for all.

RELEASE DATE: 9/2/2024
BLURB:
Toby
Maybe I have an overactive imagination, but the hot guy next door totally gives off serial killer vibes. Why else would he know how long it takes to bleed out from a wound? Yeah, ok, so I asked, but it was research. Being an author definitely makes for some odd questions (someone had better clear my browser history when I die, that’s all I’m saying). It’s not like I’m stalking my hot neighbor or anything—there’s nothing wrong with watching him out my window. Although I might have my own stalker (and not the cute harmless kind), which is kind of terrifying. Even if he isn’t a serial killer, maybe my seriously sexy neighbor whose eyes seem to glow red (a trick of the light, I’m sure) can help me out.
Dexter
How do you tell your cute neighbor that cutting off fingers probably won’t cause a victim to bleed out? I don’t know if trying out Toby’s writing ideas is a good method of flirting, but there’s just something about him that calls to my hellhound. He’s adorable, awkward, and all kinds of clueless. He brings out my protective instincts, and I find myself wanting to please him, even if that means figuring out some of the answers to his rather bloodthirsty questions. When I find out Toby might actually be in danger, nothing will stop my hellhound from protecting him. He’s mine, even if he doesn’t know it, and I’ll tear apart anyone who even thinks of hurting him.

Sebastian likes his sex a little rough. Owning a slave means he can explore his tastes with someone who has to comply. The reality of owning Parker forces him to be careful in molding the innocent boy to his tastes. Parker expects to simply endure whatever his master demands.
Finding pleasure is surprising. As they explore new ways to play with each other, they learn that emotions cannot be put on a shelf.
The real world intrudes on their games when Sebastian is pressured to marry the ‘right kind’ of man. He struggles with duty against pleasure while Parker knows he has no claim to his master. Each is etermined to do the right thing even if it means sacrificing their own happiness.

Berga Obsidian is only good for one thing.
As the Butcher of the Brumal mafia, Berga spends his days between the university and his lab, constantly caught up in one experiment or another. Everyone knows his name, and everyone fears him, but very few get close enough to learn who he really is. Even fewer actually want to. He’s spent his entire life trying to make up for a mistake made as a child and is haunted by literal ghosts of the past dressed in pink tulle. Locking himself away periodically to protect himself and those around him has become second nature, that is until one mix-up with a Royal changes everything.
Madden Odell can do no wrong.
He comes from a prestigious and powerful family and is best friends with the Imperial Prince. By day, he trains at the military academy, keeping up appearances, and by night he runs the illegal street races down at the Docks. He’s never wanted for anything for longer than a minute before it’s his, that is until Berga strolls in and shakes up his world. Technically, they’ve known each other for years, but they’ve never been close. One night of rough and twisted debauchery and suddenly Madden is desperate to change that. By any means necessary.
But Berga is far from what he seems, with an unexpected past trauma and a strong fear of abandonment. The two of them also come from different sides of the same coin. Berga is part of the Satellite, a group created to protect the head of the mafia, whereas Madden’s position with the prince means he stands with the Imperial family. Even if they can somehow work through their differences and learn to rely on one another, will their leaders ever allow their relationship to strengthen?
Or will the two of them have to choose? The life they’ve always known, or each other?

BLURB:
It’s not easy building a pack when your father forbids you from dating any of his New Haven Foxes hockey players. But Sloane Applegate is an Omega on a mission and her current target is none other than a surly Alpha defenseman who is supposed to be off-limits.
It starts off simple, dating in secret, and making sure that her father doesn’t find out she’s being courted by one of his players. But things get a little more complicated when the team’s mascot and new goalie also catch the Omega’s eye, on and off the ice.
No matter how intensely feelings and pheromones are pushing them together, secrets threaten to destroy this pack before they’re even bonded. Hopefully, by some small miracle, they can come together and be the pack Sloane has always dreamed of.

I’d risk it all just to get a taste of you…
Brandon
My plan was perfect… until it wasn’t. Whenever my heart was shattered, you were always there as my source of comfort. So when it happened yet again, I took the opportunity and put my plan into action: One kiss. One kiss shouldn’t ruin us. Couldn’t. What we had was unbreakable. I didn’t think I’d become obsessed, or that I’d want it again and again, but that was why I had to pretend it didn’t happen. You meant too much to me to put it all on the line. I couldn’t lose you if we failed. But it’s becoming too unbearable, and I’m haunted by the memory of that one time we gave in. Can we take the biggest risk of our lives?
Andrew
My secret was mine… until it wasn’t. Did you know that I’d always wanted you? You dangled what we could be in front of me, but I couldn’t tell if you meant it or not. Then, without a word, everything went back to how it was before, like it hadn’t happened. But it had, and I couldn’t let it go. My heart still aches for you, and after watching you give yourself to other men for years, I’m at the end of my rope. We could be amazing if we weren’t afraid, and I think it’s time we give in again. Will our risk pay off or will it be our fall?

BLURB:
This isn’t the life I want for myself, but if it’s a choice between me and the people I love, I’m going to step up every single time.
Growing up, I wanted to be a superhero. I was going to save the world, thwarting crime and protecting those who needed it most. Instead I end up killing shifters for money. Sure, they’re the “bad guys”, but when I am too, does that matter? I thought I got out, that I was finally on the right track. How wrong I was.
Now we have no choice. The “missions” need to be done and I refuse to let my friends carry this burden. They have growing families and huge hearts. Going back would destroy them, but the deeper I get, the more I realize it’s destroying me too.
The only shining light is Clay, an omega who sees me for who I am and what not what I do. I long for him to be my mate, but of course fate has other plans.
