RELEASE DATE: 11/17/2025
BLURB:
When you just happen to be a jellyfish shifter, things can get a little, well, tingly whenever you touch the wrong person too much. Talk about a dating faux-pas. Leaving your partner with itchiness, burning, and reddish purple welts all over sensitive areas tended to result in being ghosted. A state that was no fun at all and even a bit depressing when you happened to be a social creature, like me.
The only good thing to come from trolling a bar for a bit of competition on the pool table and maybe even someone to share a few drinks with, was meeting the coolest pair of sea turtles this side of one of my favorite animated movies. Seriously laid back and chill, they offer to show me around the area and help make my transition from island hopper to island resident complete.
At least my new sea turtle buddies are immune to my venom and interested in being more than just friends with benefits. Merry flippin’ Christmas to me on that point, there might be a bit of tinsel and bows in my future after all.

BLURB:
Two strangers. One storm. A connection neither of them saw coming.
Corey’s day has gone from bad to worse. First, he loses his job. Then his home. Now he’s crawling through a blizzard in a beat-up car, hoping to sneak into his uncle’s empty house for a lonely Christmas in front of a big-screen TV. But the universe isn’t done with him yet. He’s lost, the snow’s getting heavier—and there’s a truck riding his bumper like it’s personal.
Tal can’t escape his office Christmas party fast enough—especially after a humiliating nickname from his school days rears its ugly head. All he wants is peace and quiet at the Airbnb he’s rented for the holidays. No friends, no fuss, no festive drama. But when he sees a truck barrelling towards him, all he can do is swerve, hang on tight and hope.
The hit and run leaves Corey and Tal stranded in the middle of a snowy nowhere. With no help in sight, their only choice is to walk. Thank goodness for the isolated hotel they finally stumble across when they just can’t go on anymore. It seems like salvation. But something isn’t quite right, and that isn’t just because when the doors open, it looks as if Christmas has exploded.

Still, Grant is gorgeous and intriguing. Forest would be a fool to let a little thing like wings get in the way of learning more about him. He deserves a distraction from the arrogant bodybuilder who’s opening a new gym in competition with his own. He doesn’t count on getting lost in the local gay bathhouse, being chased through town naked, and certainly not discovering that Grant is a fairy and there’s a magical war brewing.
Grant is convinced Forest can help stop the Quyre, a band of evil fairies determined to gain absolute power, but Forest remains skeptical. He’s just a mortal. They can’t really expect him to save the day. Can they? More importantly, can he?

1968 New York City
News about the war might be keeping Patrick up at night–news in general might be keeping Patrick up at night–but he’s doing fine. He’s sure of it. He gets to spend his days selling books in the gayest neighborhood on the East Coast and his nights merrily sleeping his way through the rare book community. But when he takes in a drifter who seems to be hiding something, and his best friend and her newborn move into the apartment upstairs, his life gets turned on its head.
A sleepy little bookstore should be the perfect place for Nathaniel to lie low, waiting for his past to catch up with him, but it turns out Dooryard Books is full of political radicals and anti-war agitators. If the FBI isn’t actively surveilling this place, it will be. Nathaniel should go anywhere else. The last thing he expects is to like these subversives. There’s a grieving folk musician and her baby–a demon of a child who will only sleep if Nathaniel, of all people, holds her. There’s a pair of rabble-rousing teenagers who, upsettingly, seem to be right about everything. And then there’s Patrick, who can’t walk past anyone who needs his help–and who is perplexingly determined to help Nathaniel.
As the world balances on the precipice of something new and scary and maybe even hopeful, Patrick needs to decide what he’s willing to risk for this chaotic new community he’s accidentally created. And Nathaniel needs to figure out whether he has a place in this messy, flawed world–and whether he can believe he deserves it.

The townspeople say he’s the sunshine to my grump.
What they don’t know is that worrying about him keeps me up at night.

How am I supposed to resist the chaotic whirlwind of colors and everything peppermint that my own daughter dropped in my lap? Luci is the exact opposite of dependable and steady, but he brings a lightness and excitement to my life that I didn’t know was lacking.

Instead of going home for the holiday, this year he books a room at the famous Winter Wonderland Wilderness Resort. He looks forward to shifting in the snow, to the sound of sleigh bells, great restaurant food, the lodge’s critically acclaimed tree lighting ceremony, and warm cozy movie nights eating caramel popcorn balls in front of the fireplace that comes with each room.
Another convenience about this trip is being alone and in catered comfort to weather through his heat, which is expected sometime just after Christmas.

BLURB:
He hides a forbidden gift. The crown’s favorite son hides a forbidden heart.
Cael Amuletos has kept his healing magic secret his entire life. Exposure means execution. Silence means survival.
Until one reckless act reveals the truth.
Drawn to the capital for mage trials that could break him, Cael is thrust into a world of glittering nobles, dangerous tests, and a rivalry he cannot escape. Quin is brilliant, infuriating, impossible to ignore. Every glance sparks. Every silence smolders. Every choice pulls them both closer to ruin.
As wyverns circle and rebellion whispers through the palace walls, Cael must decide what he is willing to risk. His magic. His future. His heart.
A healer in exile. A king on the run. A bond they cannot escape.
Cael Amuletos should be dead. Framed for treason, buried alive, his magic outlawed, yet he survives, saved by the one man he once betrayed. Now he and Quin, fugitive king and constant thorn in his side, are hunted through a kingdom unraveling in plague and fear.
In fevered towns where every breath is suspect, Cael heals until his hands shake and his control splinters. And still, Quin lingers close. Sharp-tongued, unyielding, impossible to ignore. Their arguments spark like flint, their glances burn too long, and every step together draws them deeper into danger and into each other.
But survival is never simple. In the city of Hinsard, conspiracies fester: corpses stolen in the night, poisons lacing the air, allies framed for treason. With his gift fading and enemies closing in, Cael must confront the one truth he has always resisted: he cannot fight alone.
To save Quin, to save himself, he must choose between the healer he was and the survivor he is becoming.

The guy who walks into every room like he owns it—

The only thing we’ve ever agreed on?

It was supposed to be one mistake.

We’re playing with fire, and it’s going to burn us alive.
Because the partners are watching.
Every rumor in the firm spreads like wildfire.
And if anyone finds out, both our careers go up in smoke.

What was the price I was willing to pay to be with him, and more importantly, what would it cost him?

Evil that lurks will never stay hidden for long…
Genie had witnessed much over the tenuous centuries he’d roamed the earth. Blood, feast, famine, plagues. None of which affected him, yet by the same token, it had. If that made any sense…
Lovers had come and gone just as master’s had, but never had his heart been involved.
Until now.
Why fate chose this point in his life to grant another access to it would remain a mystery.
The Maharajah’s public execution of his parents, done as a warning to the commoners not to take money from his hand, left Raj to fend for himself at a young age. The meager loaf of bread his parents stole to feed their starving family was nowhere near the value of the lives he took that day. After that, Raj was shunned by the town. Never had he been so alone…
Over the years, Raj never went without. Food, clothing, everything he required was always there, as if magicked. Cupboards once bare now filled to the brim. How could this be?
Will Genie and Raj’s forbidden relationship survive the Maharajah’s greed, or will they meet the same fate as Raj’s parents had for defying his tyrannical rule?

After decades of sold-out stadiums and never-ending tours, coming home to run my family’s Vermont dairy farm was supposed to be peaceful. Instead, I’m being terrorized by my devastatingly attractive neighbor who’s apparently declared war on me—one “gift” at a time.
A goat that won’t leave my side. A rooster with a Napoleon complex. A hive of bees with serious attitude problems. The boy I remember as my best friend’s sweet little brother has grown into a man with a serious grudge and zero intention of making my homecoming easy.
When a crisis threatens our small town’s Christmas celebrations, we’re forced to work together. Fighting our attraction while saving the holidays should be simple, right?
Too bad Taylen James has always been my greatest weakness.

Trill’s already doing something risky—and then he meets two Mage Warriors who could be everything to him… if they don’t kill him when they find out what he is.
Trill knows that it isn’t wise to approach any Mage Warriors, but he really wants the chance to at least see Cormal, the uncle he’s never met. Before he can get that far, he runs into a wounded Mage Warrior and his partner who want to take him home, and Trill is more than happy to go.
The sex is fantastic, and the opportunity to secretly heal the broken man is one that Trill can’t pass up. It’s not long before it begins to feel like this could become something more—but how could they work when he’s something they’ve been taught to revile?
Can Cormal acknowledge past mistakes and see what’s right in front of him?
Cormal is now stuck with the job of Summus—a job that everyone assumes he manipulated those around him to attain. His fiery temper is worse than ever, and he feels isolated and alone when all he’s tried to do is protect everyone.
With the help of someone close to him, Cormal might be ready to acknowledge another perspective and rectify some past mistakes. New possibilities are there for both of them—but there are risks involved. Are they ready to strive for a future together, or might the costs be too great?

What would you do if you thought you only had a few months to live?
I may not believe in anything supernatural, but Devon Hughes does. He’s totally convinced he won’t make it to thirty, after a psychic tells him there’s a curse on his family. Since none of his male relatives reached that milestone birthday, that’s all the proof he needs.
With his thirtieth birthday looming, Devon’s all about making the most of every single day. He’s working his way through his bucket list and needs someone to share his adventures, which is where I come in. Since he’s the most fascinating and charismatic man I’ve ever met, not to mention gorgeous, I’m more than happy to get caught up in his whirlwind. But when things between us start to heat up, he’s clear about one thing—this can’t turn into anything serious, because he won’t start something he can’t finish.
I can’t help but wonder… if Devon makes it past his thirtieth birthday, will he want me to be a part of the future he never thought he’d have? Or will it turn out I was just another check mark on his bucket list?

BLURB:
Sometimes the wrong number is the exact one you need.
I’m far too old to be playing truth or dare anywhere, much less at a bonfire. Yet here I am attempting to protect my little brother from himself only to be the one in a hot-ass mess.
I accept one little dare: send a pic of your beast to your ex. I try to get out of it, using the excuse that I deleted their sorry self from my phone. When a party goer tells me they have the number, my plea is denied.
And that’s how I end up sending a picture of my panther to my piece-of-garbage ex after drinking far too many beers. Fingers crossed, he blocked me long ago.
The next morning I discovered I didn’t send it to my ex. Nope, it went to a total stranger and the caption, “I’ll show you mine, if you show me yours” has the person on the other end thinking I’m keeping wild animals illegally.
I dug myself into this mess, and now I need to dig myself out of it, even if that means meeting the stranger before they report me to the Game Commission.

Declan’s lost his footing
Disabled after a terrible accident, I move back in with my parents in their small town. The worst part is not losing my job or my flat or my independence, it’s leaving my best friend, Sonny. He had to stay in the city. I can’t expect him to give up his life, too.
And found support
As I spend my days recovering, my new physiotherapist, Erik, helps me reconnect with my body. Under his guidance, I’m learning how to walk on my new prosthetic. And he’s encouraging me to take the scariest step of all: telling Sonny how I feel about him.
Reaching for love
When Sonny visits me for the Christmas holidays, I have a plan. I’m going to take Sonny on a romantic date. Only, I accidentally take Erik on that date first.
Now I don’t know what to do. I have to choose quickly. Sonny and Erik are about to meet.
Except… there’s more to Erik than meets the eye. Eight dexterous tentacles more, to be precise. Could he have room in his heart – and his arms – to hold both of us close?
