Life is good for Dashiell Dawson Dane (just Dash). Things with his boyfriend, Bobby, are better than ever. Teaching at a local college has provided routine and stability. And to his complete surprise, his self-published novel is doing well. Really well. So, when a mystery writers’ conference comes to Hastings Rock, Dash is thrilled to attend.
He’s less thrilled when Vivienne Carver, his former nemesis—the woman who framed him for murder and then tried to kill him—appears at the conference, released from prison and determined to reclaim both fame and fortune. And, as usual, Vivienne has a plan.

Even worse, Dash might be right back where he started.

BLURB:
Throughout high school, Bay Nolan was in love with one boy, Alex. They were inseparable and crazy about each other. Their love was so intense they felt unbreakable. But when their neck glands matured, they learned they were completely genetically incompatible, totally mismatched.
It shattered them both, a heartbreak so devastating that neither of them was the same afterward. Reluctantly, they went their separate ways.
Years passed. Bay never forgot Alex and suffered in silence, unable to commit to anyone else. Alex felt the same.
But Bay didn’t stop there. The bitterness and anger kept growing inside him, and he went down a very dark path…
People say incompatibles shouldn’t be together, that it’s not meant to work and will only end in disaster.
So why couldn’t they stop craving each other? Ten years after their breakup, they unexpectedly ran into each other at one of Bay’s concerts. Bay wasn’t ready to face Alex openly, but the moment they stood in front of each other, the spark was still there, and Bay just couldn’t hide in the shadows anymore.
Relationships between incompatibles are publicly shamed, and children from such unions often have genetic defects. The social stigma is harsh, so Bay and Alex didn’t want to flaunt their love.
But can a certain turn of events push them to reveal their relationship at last, and uncover an incredible truth they never expected…?

I try to outdo myself every year, and at this point, the neighborhood expects great things from me. What I didn’t expect, though, was handsome and charming single dad Dakota moving in next door.
When I get trapped on my roof during a day of decorating, Dakota and his daughter Caroline come to my rescue, and the next thing I know, Dakota has his strong, sexy arms wrapped around me to keep me from falling of a ladder. When Caroline convinces Dakota to join the competition, I give them a few tips – in the name of being neighborly and all.

A man running from his truth. A mysterious song that haunts him. And a bathhouse that will change his life forever…
Being a wealth manager isn’t a calling, it’s how I pay for the car, the condo, and the boyfriend who just dumped me after seven years. My life is all stress and no play until I snap and drive straight back to the one place I swore I’d left behind.
The bathhouse.
The place claws, fangs, and fur at the norm.
One filthy show with an orc should’ve scratched the itch. Instead, a song rises from the deepest pool—sweet, hungry, and aimed right at me. A hand drags me under, into a hidden grotto… and into the arms of Cyrus.
He’s a merman.
All shimmering scales, sharp teeth, and a voice that makes my body beg.
To Cyrus, I’m not a burned-out human. I’m the only man who can hear his call, who can be his fated mate. I’m the treasure he’s been waiting for.
He’s ready to worship me.
Ruin me.
I came here to forget my old life.

BLURB:
Austin
I made it to age eighteen as Frankie Morse—Frank, Junior—my dad’s prized possession and sometimes punching bag. But only because Dad never knew I was gay. On my eighteenth birthday, I defied him, and ran. Crossed three states, in the miraculous gift of an old truck, before I ran out of gas outside the Star & Bar ranch in the Sierra Nevada foothills.
Now I’m broke, they aren’t hiring, and my string of luck has apparently come to an end. But here, in the free California air, I can choose to use my middle name, Austin. I can be as gay as I please. And maybe, just maybe, the approval I see in a weathered winter cowboy’s eyes means I haven’t totally wrecked my life.
Seth
After messing up bigtime years ago, and letting a young man get hurt on my watch, I’m never mixing business and pleasure again. I’m gay, I’m out, but when I’m around the horses and the cattle, I refuse to be distracted. Even by a young man with a world of hurt in his eyes, and a mouth created to tempt me. Austin needs a helping hand, but that’s the only kind of hand he’s getting. If he’s even willing to bend his pride enough to take that.
I’m 33, he’s 18 and barely finding his feet, and anyhow, we’re full up with ranch hands for the winter. But when I find him bartering barn-cleaning for a place to sleep that isn’t below freezing, I’m not made of stone. My cabin’s small, but I can give him shelter. Just for one night, or two.

He’s all I think about.
But do I really know him?
Does he really know me?

Necromancer Erasmus Boone’s life is on hold—every shadow suspect, every trip outside his warded home a gamble. Afraid of bringing more attention to already wary necromancers, Erasmus has stopped hunting for his own kind. Unwilling to place an even larger target on his back, Erasmus has even delayed his own wedding.
Human homicide detective Franklin O’Hare wants nothing more than to be there for the necromancer he loves. Unfortunately, he’s neck-deep in not one but two separate multiple-body dump scenes. With little more than skeletal remains to go on, Franklin’s days are consumed with work, and his sleepless nights are spent wishing he had more time for his fiancé.
Waiting and wondering when Tenzen Huxley will make his move is physically exhausting and emotionally draining. Information regarding shadow borne is slim and little more than hearsay, and what is known is horrifying.
Will Erasmus and Franklin be ready when Tenzen finally makes his move? Is there truly any way to be prepared for the hell a shadow borne can unleash? Despite the support of powerful friends and family, Erasmus and Franklin desperately need to find a shadow borne’s weakness.
Sometimes, weakness comes from within, not without, and often, arrogance is the deadliest flaw of all.

BLURB:
Hunter Asclepius and Cliff Ritter grew up on Argus-9 dreaming of the INF—the interstellar force that charts new worlds and keeps the lanes safe. For Cliff, enlistment means more than adventure; it’s a path to bring his fifteen-year-old brother out of foster care. For Hunter, a combat medic with a stubborn belief in people, it’s a chance to do real good among the stars.
Their chance comes fast: after a freight run turns deadly, the INF taps them for a hush-hush, two-man reconnaissance to an uncharted planet. Orders are simple on paper—stay invisible, survey the terrain, look for any trace of a missing research team, and return. What waits beyond the jump is anything but simple: a living world of wind and stone, a medieval civilization under strange pressures, and a feral, brilliant girl whose fate collides with their own.
Days alone in deep space strip them down to truth; on the ground, every choice cuts. Duty narrows. Secrets multiply. And somewhere between first contact and first betrayal, the bond they’ve buried for years catches fire.

He’s the one thing I can’t have. And the only thing I need.

Pining after a man and stood up by another, I leave for a holiday retreat for two alone. Maybe solitude will drown away my sorrows. The storm raging outside matches my dreary mood. However, I’m somehow sharing my cabin in the blizzard-covered mountain with a stranger.
Edries
I’ve been making headlines as an eccentric billionaire for as long as I can remember. I’m not used to making headlines because my wife announces she wants a divorce, that she never loved me, and she’s taking our kids for the holidays. My first holiday alone will be on a beautiful mountain, to which I make it just in time to beat the storm.
But someone is already inside the room I paid for and now I’m stormed in with a stranger.

No other holiday embodies love, family, and the magic of new beginnings like Christmas does. What could be more enchanting than choosing this day to unite destinies with loved ones under the twinkle of festive lights and the warmth of the holiday spirit? The joy grows exponentially when other couples join in, each celebrating their union amidst the glow of the season. Sure, one of the grooms-to-be has three lively personalities that don’t always see eye to eye, another couple feels like a clash of a hurricane and a volcano, and the third pair can’t seem to agree on the little things—but isn’t that just the fun of it? Even if the bachelor party gets a bit too merry and secrets spill, these whimsical details pale in comparison to the holiday splendor. Once the three personalities find harmony in their choice of wedding attire, everything will shine as bright as a Christmas star—or will it?

BLURB:
This Christmas, love’s coming in hot—and it’s bringing claws.
Farley Davenport is organized to a fault, and his holiday plan was, naturally, itemized:
- No men.
- No drama.
- A gallon of spiked eggnog to erase memories of his cheating ex.
He’s retreated to a cozy cabin in the Blue Ridge Mountains to lick his wounds, alphabetize his emotional baggage, and maybe rediscover a little peace on Earth.
In the cabin next door is Samuel Bennett—the golden boy of daytime television, beautiful, exhausted, and aching for something real. He wanted a few weeks of tabloid-free peace, but fate has other ideas—specifically, a gorgeous man next door with too many walls and a stray cat with no respect for them.
When a blizzard buries them both, things heat up fast. Between shared cocoa, power outages, and one too many “accidental” towel slips, Farley’s list grows longer:
- Don’t flirt with the TV star.
- Don’t fantasize about the TV star.
- Definitely don’t let the TV star crawl into your bed to “keep warm.”

This Christmas, Daddy gives him the one thing he’s never had—acceptance.
Rudy
My ex had rules. Rules about the part of me that slips soft and small. No pacifiers. No bottles. No little space. No embarrassing habits when we’re married.
So I packed my duffle bag and drove toward a tiny Vermont town founded by two queer men who refused to keep hiding, and built a haven for people who had never truly fit anywhere else. I only meant to stay for two weeks. Heal a little. Breathe again.
Then I walked into Holly & Pine… and met him.
Graeme Whitlock.
He sees me. Not the version I was scolded into being—the real me. He offers structure instead of control, security instead of shame, and care without conditions.
And suddenly, Winterhaven doesn’t feel like a stop on the map.
It feels like home.
I didn’t plan to fall for the man who makes me feel small in the safest way. Keeping him? That might be the bravest Christmas wish I’ve ever dared to make.

So why do I still want him?
SETH
I never meant to fall for him.
Troy does not let people in. He is blunt, brilliant, and built like a fantasy in work boots. In person he keeps me at arm’s length, so I tried another way. I talked to him online. No real name. No pressure. Just us.
I did not plan to keep the secret. I just wanted a chance before he shut the door.
Now he knows.
If I want him back, I have to earn more than forgiveness. I have to prove I am not just a pretty face with a wallet and an apology.
TROY
I do not fall easily. Especially not for men like him.
Wealthy. Charming. Untouchable.
Seth crashed into my life, and when he touched me, everything changed. I let him in. Then I found out he had not been honest.
I should walk away.
But I cannot forget the way he listens, the way he sees me, the way we fit.
Maybe I am ready to risk my heart on the one person who broke it.
