Now I’m under his roof, learning his rules, feeling things I don’t fully understand. Peace. Protection. That quiet, aching need to belong to someone.
But turns out, Maddox has secrets of his own and when my family finds out about us, it could destroy everything. And if Maddox realizes how truly broken, I am, he might walk away first.

RELEASE DATE: 12/31/2025
BLURB:
The world’s wimpiest vampire meets the hunter who cannot believe this is their target.
Charlie never asked to be turned into a vampire. In fact, the whole thing was a drunken mistake. One minute, he was minding his own business, the next, some idiot vampire bit him on a dare—and then immediately regretted it and abandoned him.
Now Charlie is very bad at being undead. He faints at the sight of blood, refuses to bite people, and spends his days trying to survive on beet juice, cherry Kool-Aid, and sheer denial. The vampire world wants nothing to do with him, and honestly? He gets it.
Simon is a seasoned vampire hunter. Ruthless, efficient, and completely dedicated to the cause, he’s spent years taking down deadly creatures of the night. When he finally tracks down Charlie Dracul, he expects a monster.
Instead, he finds a sleep-deprived disaster with ketchup on his hoodie who nearly passes out when he pulls out a stake.
Simon should end this embarrassment of a vampire immediately. But it feels unsporting. And, worse, the longer he watches Charlie bumble his way through undead existence, the harder it is to look away.
Killing monsters is easy. Figuring out what to do with a vampire who sucks at being a vampire?
That’s another problem entirely.

If he’s only supposed to be a distraction, why can’t he let him go?
Wilder’s life has been torn apart by betrayal. For thirteen years, his family kept a secret that shattered his trust and left him questioning everything.It’s not something he knows how to forgive, but fortunately, he’s easily distracted.

Barely out of an abusive relationship with an ex that won’t leave him alone, Emmett isn’t the least bit prepared for Wilder or the way the man makes his pulse race. Wilder is funny, fierce, and unexpectedly gentle. He knows a man like Wilder could easily break him, but when Wilder touches him, the world stops spinning and everything seems to make sense again. He wants more, even if he knows it’s just temporary.
Emmett is a distraction Wilder knows he can’t afford. Not with the club under siege. With escalating attacks, it’s clear someone wants to burn everything the Kings have built to the ground. Except the real target might not be the club at all…

BLURB:
Anyone can fall in love. Pickle makes it unforgettable.
Thunder Bay’s favorite chaos gremlin, Noah “Pickle” Piatkowski, is no longer the rookie, but he hasn’t lost an ounce of his wild energy. He’s fast, he’s fearless, and he’s still the guy who shows up late to practice because he got his hand stuck in a Pringles can again. Fans adore him. His teammates have stopped asking questions.
When the Storm gathers at The Drop to watch Hog’s partner, Rhett, land a deal on Shark Tank, Pickle’s world begins to tilt.
Enter Adrian Richter, thirty-four, a polished, quietly intense documentary filmmaker sent the day after the show by a streaming network sensing a story —sharp-eyed and no-nonsense. He’s come looking for an authentic slice of small-town hockey life…and instead he finds Pickle, standing in the parking lot of The Drop in Crocs, holding a broken karaoke microphone, and trying to teach Hog’s dog how to howl along to “Total Eclipse of the Heart.”
Adrian is thunderstruck. Not just by Pickle’s ridiculousness—but by the heat beneath the chaos. The tenderness tucked behind the jokes. The way Pickle lights up a room without even meaning to.
Pickle, for his part, has no idea what to do when someone hot, grown, and deeply competent looks at him like he’s more than the team’s comic relief. Every instinct tells him to deflect with humor, to hide behind being “the funny one,” to pretend he doesn’t care about the idea that someone might—finally—take him seriously. Letting Adrian see the version of himself he’s been protecting? That’s terrifying. That’s impossible. That’s starting to feel inevitable.
When the production company decides Pickle makes better footage as a joke than a person, Adrian faces his own choice: protect the project that was supposed to rebuild his stalled career, or protect the man who’s stolen his heart.
