RELEASE DATE: 8/4/2025
BLURB:
Now that I’ve graduated college, I’m expected to join the family accounting business even though I hate everything to do with finance.
What’s not expected? Getting stuck in a small town on my way home after a tornado nearly destroys my Jeep, or the lonely single dad and his adorable preteen daughter who offer their spare room for my stay.
Sometimes the most unexpected things can lead to the best life decisions.
Marshall
I’ve put off going home after graduating as long as I can, but there’s no excuses left. My cubicle-filled future is here whether I like it or not.
Until I drive into a huge, terrifying tornado, that is.
Now I’m stuck in a small town while I wait for my Jeep to get fixed. Thankfully, the adorable young girl who survived the twister with me talks her dad into offering me one of their spare rooms, so I don’t have to waste money at the local motel or contend with the gossipy motel owner.
Maybe I should’ve declined the offer, but there’s something about her dad that makes me think he’s desperate for another adult to talk to.
I’m only in town for the week, but that’ll be plenty of time to give him a reprieve from his hectic, but lonely, life. If only he didn’t turn out to be everything I was looking for….
Daniel
My preteen daughter is convinced that I’m sad and lonely, and that my life would be infinitely better with someone to share it with. Even if that was something I wanted to explore, my farm takes up too much time and energy to consider a night out.
Meeting someone new isn’t on my radar at all, until a gorgeous guy literally falls at my feet in his effort to escape the twister that sideswipes the local gas station.
Less than an hour later, my daughter invites him to stay with us while he’s stuck in town.
Maybe I should’ve said no, but there’s something about him that makes me want to help and protect him.
I’ll admit that I find myself wildly attracted to him. If only he wasn’t so much younger than me….

Raised by the Comanche and still struggling to adapt to life in the white man’s world, ranch hand Cade Webster has learned the hard way not to expect good things in his life. Then, on an errand to Galveston, he’s intrigued to see Erick calm a panicked horse on the docks. Since Cade’s foreman is looking for a new bronc buster, he offers to let Erick accompany him back to Wellspring Ranch, a haven for misfits and outcasts, despite his doubts that the European dandy knows what he’s getting himself into.

When hockey’s biggest ego meets football’s golden boy, sparks fly, and defenses crumble.
Cole “Trick” Harrington III has made a career out of pretending he doesn’t care. Not about his past, his name, or the father who built a megachurch empire off judgment and control. Trick torched every bridge back to Atlanta, deliberately wrecked his career, and buried his truth so deep even he started to forget it. Now traded to the Harrisburg Railers, he’s skating on thin ice, with a reputation for arrogance and a career teetering on the edge. The last thing he needs is a PR stunt tying him to a squeaky-clean football star, particularly one who is sexy, strong, and always freaking happy. As Trick is forced to confront his growing attraction and deal with the past he’s spent years ignoring—including the younger sister he never knew existed—he realizes that the most brutal battles aren’t fought on the ice. They’re fought in the heart. And this time, he has to stop running.
Tom Fulkowski has led a charmed life. Starting with a typical middle-class childhood in Philly, his skill at catching quarterbacks has propelled him to the heights of pro football.

With one final season to play with the Philadelphia Pumas before retirement, Tom looks forward to that next phase of his life. He’s just not sure what the next phase is exactly. Then, out of the blue, he meets a wild-eyed hockey player with a chip the size of the Liberty Bell on his shoulder. As he and Cole grow closer, he finds a depth to the younger man that resonates deeply. If only Cole would slow down and let Tom catch up to him, they might win it all.

It’s not a relationship, it’s just a patchwork of tattoo sessions and sweaty secrets with a rock star. No big deal.
I’ve been keeping this secret for four years, counting down the months in between visits from Onyx.
To everyone else I’m “Hero” but he mostly just calls me “yes” and “more” while we trade heated kisses and wandering hands.
I know it won’t ever be anything more than a wild secret and eventually he’ll get bored hooking up with a tattoo artist fifteen years too old for him from Nowhere, Wisconsin. But I’m more than happy to enjoy this while it lasts.
But when Onyx shows up unannounced and tells me that instead of a hurried weekend we have 3 full months before he has to hit the road again, I don’t know if I’m more excited or terrified to see where things will go.
I’m sure there’s more to life than tattooing Onyx and spending late nights talking until the sun comes up, but whatever that “more” is, it can’t be as fun as this.
No matter how hard I’m falling for him, there’s no way that he’s going to give up his rock star lifestyle to stay here with me… is there?

Hundreds of years after the progenitors visited Mater Terra and ruined everything, their long lost omega has been discovered and he wants nothing to do with taking over planets. He wants to raise his son, make more babies and live in peace. Honestly? Can. Relate. But as a mostly human hybreed, I lack the parts to do so—but not for long. Change is coming and so is a new Progenitor who smells divine, but I don’t love him. The man I love is dying, and I’d do anything to keep him with me just a little longer.
Sarge
I’ve spent 40 years pretending to be human, not that the hybreeds were observant enough to tell. Of all the things I’ve done in my long, unethical life, falling in love was the last thing I wanted to do. But just as it appears my time is running out, I’m leaving behind a multitude of sins and the love of my life. I just hope the last thing I see when I go isn’t him in the wrong arms.

But with no clue about what to do with the rest of his life, he agrees to take on one more assignment: speaking with a mysterious man who can make wishes come true.
Due to a cadre of corrupt powerful men, the world grows bleaker by the day, and the Bureau chief hopes that the wish-granter, Dee Martell, can help tip the balance back toward good. The opposing forces, however, are doing everything in their power to have him tip the balance in their favor instead.
The problem is, even Dee doesn’t understand his talent—or have any conviction what he wants to do with it. After living his life as a loner, Dee is now caught up in a deadly tug-of-war… with the fate of the world hanging in the balance.

Despised by an entire realm…loved by one man
Ezra – The Gatekeeper
They say I steal little children and feast on their blood. Let them. If unsavory half truths keep the masses from darkening my door, all the better. Someone has to do the unsavory tasks. And as the last of my line, I am that someone.
I’m meant to be alone. I don’t need friends. I don’t need family. And I definitely don’t need Gale begging for scraps of my affection.
Gale – A human ward
The entire realm fears him, but not me. I would love him. If he’d let me.
Ezra brought me to his cliffside fortress in the chilly northern hills when I was just a wee babe. My earliest memory is of him saving me from the snapping jaws of a starving wolf.
Though he isolates himself from the rest of us, that hasn’t stopped me from getting to know him. From craving him. But he resists my every advance like the wall of ice he controls with a flick of his magical fingers.
The Gate Between Realms
Frozen solid and unopened for centuries, the portal to the earthly realm bends for one bloodline only. But when trouble threatens on the other side, what’s to stop chaos from crashing through?
Will Ezra accept Gale’s devotion to protect both worlds, or will he keep his heart locked as firmly as the gate itself?
