When an upscale restaurant opens in Hastings Rock, Dashiell Dawson Dane (just Dash) and his friends are excited to get reservations for the soft open. After all, winter on the Oregon Coast is the quiet season, and Dash is looking forward to a little excitement. (And, of course, dessert.)
Instead, their arrival at the restaurant brings them face to face with Indira’s ex-husband, Mal. And when Mal ends up dead, Indira is the chief suspect.
Dash is sure he can prove Indira’s innocence, but before he has the chance, tragedy strikes Bobby’s family. With Bobby drawn back to Portland, Dash finds himself torn between helping his boyfriend and saving Indira.
And the killer isn’t done yet.

From Paris to Los Angeles, New York to Tuscany, London to Nice, brimming with hot hunks and even hotter sex, the adventures of Matt, Freddie, and Jake climax in this fourth volume of the European Flings series.

BLURB:
When Elijah Harrow returns to Lupin Hollow to settle his estranged uncle’s estate, he expects a short trip, not a confrontation with the ghosts of his past, and definitely not a reunion with Caleb Morgan, the boy he once loved and the wolf he never understood. The Hollow, a forgotten town buried in Oregon’s dense woods, is alive with magic and memory. And beneath the ash tree that marks its heart, something ancient is waking. Elijah’s blood carries secrets he never asked for, and Caleb’s bond might be the only thing standing between salvation and ruin.
As lust rekindles into something deeper and the lines between man, wolf, and myth blur, Elijah must face the legacy that chased him away and the power surging in his veins. With a rogue pack threatening to breach the Hollow and an ancient pact unraveling, the only way out is through blood, bond, and the forest’s unspoken law. Will Elijah become the savior of the Hollow? Or the monster it’s been waiting for?

Bailey Dodge is an overworked ER doctor with a needy cat and no life until FBI Agent Dean Royal seduces him in the hospital where he works and then leaves him, sure the whole interlude was a one-time thing.
Dean has other plans, showing up at Bailey’s door again, and again, and again…. Dean is ready to keep seducing Bailey into accepting his presence, at least until Bailey forces a small reckoning, and surprise! Baring his soul as well as his body to Bailey is as easy as breathing. Who knew?
Then Bailey witnesses a murder in the hospital, and suddenly Dean is forced to do more than tell Bailey about his job and family. He’s forced to let Bailey see the reality of an agent’s life and hope their bond is strong enough for Bailey to trust that Dean will come back—every time. But Bailey has lost a lover to the greater good before, and he no longer trusts in fate to take care of his heart. Still, the Royal family is a force stronger than fate, and when Dean goes missing tracking down the hit men on Bailey’s tail, Bailey turns to them to help bring the middle Royal home.

Even a cat needs a hero.
Harry Katt has always been the love-em and leave-em sort. He likes his life, he likes fun, he likes sex, he loves his family, and he loves being a cat. He’s not seeking anything permanent and has no desire to settle down like his brothers, Thom and Rich.
Ted Woodward’s one attempt at a relationship ended in disaster. Ted isn’t his real name. In fact, he has no real name. Now he’s in Cumbria, living in a cabin in the woods, for his own protection. Ted may appear ordinary, but in reality, he is unique. All Ted wants to do is take care of his forest and stay out of trouble, but he should not exist, and the shifter world has differing views on how to deal with him.
Harry and Ted would appear, to anyone who have met them, to have nothing in common. But when Harry falls down a mountain side, and Ted gives him the kiss of life, both men experience a powerful need to discover more about each other. However, while they attempt to build a relationship, other influential forces in the shifter world seem determined to keep them apart.

Haunted by the car crash that took his family, eighteen-year-old Aaron is on the brink of fleeing London for Australia. Inspired by his late sister’s dream of working in a wildlife park, he searches for a fresh start — a place he can finally call home.
But on the eve of his departure, Aaron is caught with weed at a party, arrested, and sentenced to community service cleaning up the grounds and reviving the gardens of a neglected local retirement centre, anchoring him to the very city he longs to escape.
At the centre, Aaron meets an eclectic crew of misfits, including Landon, a fellow young offender with a reputation for trouble. As Aaron spends more time with the group — especially with Landon — he begins to feel a sense of belonging he never expected. Beneath Landon’s tough exterior, Aaron discovers a kindred spirit, someone who sees beyond his scars, both physical and emotional.
Through sleeplessness and late-night conversations, a connection sparks unlike anything Aaron has ever known. For the first time, he feels attracted to someone.

I’ve been stalking Tiernan O’Shea online for years.

I’ve fed off nothing but vengeance ever since.
Tiernan O’Shea is exactly like his father—arrogant, rich, ruthless.
The plan is simple: Get accepted to Ashford U. Get close to Tiernan. Get him to trust me. And then, when he brings me home to his father, I’ll take my revenge on Sloan O’Shea.
What I don’t expect is discovering the secret side of Tiernan, the parts he doesn’t show the rest of the world.

Jax
It was supposed to be an easy job: keep an eye on Myles until I’m sure he’s not a threat to us, then forget he exists and go back to living my life.
But the more I observe him, the more I realize that Myles is unlike anyone I’ve ever known, and toying with him is just as much fun as watching him. I want things from him I’ve never wanted before, and the more I watch him, the more I’m sure he wants them too.
He just doesn’t want to want them.
Then someone threatens his life, and instead of letting things play out, I step in and help him. That moment changes everything, and I vow to do everything I can to keep him safe, and make sure that whoever is after him pays for daring to touch him.
Watching Myles might have started out as a job, but now it’s an obsession. He’s the only person who’s ever made me feel anything, and once I set my sights on him, I’ll do whatever it takes to make him mine.
Ready or not, here I come.
TITLE: Finding Finn
AUTHOR: Shane Morton
SERIES: Foggy Basin Season Two
PUBLISHER: Self Published
RELEASE DATE: 8/15/2025
BLURB:
Finn – When I busted my knee in a stupid skateboarding accident, I knew that my career as a performer was over. Twenty years of ballet, acting, and singing lessons were flushed down the proverbial drain. I left my Broadway dreams behind in NYC and took a job as far away as I could possibly get – California. Honestly, running a community theatre had never been a bucket list item for me. But here I was – and there he was – the technical director. The most frustrating human being on the planet, Jim James. His parents must have hated him. He’s stayed in Foggy Basin his entire life, and this theatre is where he grew up. He doesn’t like my ideas, or me, for that matter. But he’s very nice to watch while he’s building the sets. He’s annoying – but also annoyingly handsome.
Jim – The moment I met him, I knew that there was going to be trouble. He was too pretty and thought he knew more than everyone else. You could tell he thought he was too good for this place – some small-town community theatre was beneath him. He also looked like the doppelganger of my ex, Martin, and that was a problem. The way he moved through a room with the grace of a dancer. The way he sang when he thought he was alone. The way he made my heart skip a beat when he looked at me was driving me crazy. But so was his attitude. I was either gonna kill him or kiss him, and I was having a hard time making up my mind.

Eddie just wants what’s best for Shelby…mostly because Shelby can’t seem to do that on his own. But when Shelby makes it clear he’s ready to date again after a string of disasters, Eddie has some decisions to make…help Shelby from the shadows like he has been for years or take their relationship to the real world…and the club.

BLURB:
Trouble’s my middle name, and being chased by a cop is just the start!
Back for a family visit, I’m tearing down the Cresson Point coast road on my motorcycle, living for the thrill—until red and blue lights flash in my rearview.
The cop turns out to be my high school nemesis, Jace, all grown up with a badge and a scowl to match. He’s still got that grumpy glare, like I’m the worst kind of chaos, and…he’s my sister’s ex. Talk about a bombshell.
We clash hard, trading barbs and fists, but every fight ends with lips crashing, clothes tearing, and we cross every line. He’s all “I’m straight.” I call bullshit.
The more we tangle, the more I see the real Jace—wounded, guarded, and way too tempting—I shouldn’t want to break down those walls…but I do.
This was supposed to be a pit stop. Now I’m crashing at the family hotel, and somehow, the one man I should be avoiding is the one I keep running into…

The first time Wes Archer steps into Jack of Clubs, an exclusive London pleasure club, he’s completely confident he can heed the tried-and-true advice about becoming an escort. Wes gives himself away for free with casual hookups all the time. Why not make some cash doing what he already loves? And cash is something he desperately needs.

Accepting an offer to spend a few hours of fun with a rich bloke will be a simple business transaction, right?
Wrong.
Wes’s first client is Cormac Reilly. The handsome billionaire is grumpy, funny, and commanding in a way that unlocks desires Wes never knew he had. Cormac is icily determined to keep their arrangement strictly business, but that doesn’t stop Wes from finding him fascinating.
As their one-night contract becomes something much more, Wes can’t deny he’s falling for his client. He knows he’s flouting all the rules, but breaking down Cormac’s barriers is an irresistible challenge, and his reward might be the best prize of all — love.
