Landon has been dreaming about Adam Taggart his whole life. Tag’s has some mixed feelings, though, and he might just need an interventioin…
Landon Gaudet may not be the best bull rider on earth, but he knows that’s where the money is in rodeo. His Cajun heart is more involved with horses, though, and with finding the cowboy he’s been dreaming of all of his relatively short life.
Adam Taggart has been around the block more than once, and while he thinks Landon is special, he also thinks the kid deserves better than a safety man with more than his share of notches on the bedpost. Adam does everything he can to resist Landon, but there’s not a man alive who doesn’t love being loved, is there?
Landon can’t believe Adam is finally with him, that his cowboy has finally come around to his way of thinking. The only problem is that Adam isn’t sure he deserves love, or that he really has any to give. He questions everything from his need for Landon to his family’s assertion that he can do better than a boy from the bayou. Can Landon show Adam that sometimes magic is real, and that all you really need is to have a little faith?

SERIES: Legends and Fury #1, Punk as Puck Spin-off
PUBLISHER: Self Published
LENGTH: 296 pages
RELEASE DATE: 3/31/2026
BLURB:
“Would you slap a teammate for twenty-five grand?”
“Uh, yeah. There are a few I’d slap for free. Just point me in the right direction.”
Problem number one: My personal life is falling apart.
Problem number two: My public life is also on thin freaking ice.
Problem number three: The ridiculously hot NHL D-man with the inability to remove his head from his ass has decided I’m his number one target.
And that last one is a bit of an issue since his idea of targeting me is to have absurdly hot hate-hookups with me in the locker room. Which I don’t necessarily mind…
Except there’s one tiny snag in his plan: I don’t like guys.
Or, well, I didn’t think I liked guys.
But when Alexio Zeki drops to his knees and, uh, gets to business, I realize my very narrow view of my own sexuality needs some adjustment.
And that’s ironic coming from a blind man.
Admitting I’m bisexual is the easy part.
Admitting I’m kind of, sort of, ridiculously into the man I claimed to hate is something else entirely. But the more he insists that I’m worth keeping, the more I start wanting to believe him.

Ryker is everything you don’t want to meet in the middle of nowhere: dark, dangerous, and probably a serial killer.
Scratch that: definitely a serial killer.
Anybody with half an ounce of sense would stay away.
Good thing I’ve never been accused of having any sort of self-preservation instincts, and murder is more of a turn-on than turn-off for me.
There’s just one little problem. Ryker doesn’t want to see me again. He has no patience for “stupid brats.” His words, not mine.
Too bad for him, I’ve never taken no for an answer. And if I need to leave a few bodies behind to draw his attention… well, I guess I’ve gotta become the star of a true crime podcast.

Oliver Bennett believes in staying busy, staying positive, and making the best of whatever life throws his way. Classes, bills, and the occasional late night lost to video games are all part of the routine. He might not always have a plan, but he’s good at figuring things out as he goes.
Dean Kennedy prefers things a little more organized. Steady and responsible, he’s used to keeping his life on track. What he isn’t prepared for is the whirlwind that follows when a class project somehow lands him a new roommate—one who is equal parts strange, chaotic, and strangely endearing.
What begins as a simple step up from the dorm turns into a lesson in contrasts. Oli challenges Dean in ways he never expected, while Dean shows Oli that some rules are worth sticking to. Before long, their apartment becomes the center of late-night anime binges, quirky routines, and a connection neither of them saw coming.

At the most inconvenient times, Berith haunts him, and both Sebastian and the demon, unused to company and gentle touches, grow more familiar with one another while they navigate new possessions and spend rainy nights at a greasy spoon with a sign that glows an infernal red.

Luka
I’ve dreamed of being in the NHL since I was a kid, and even though I wasn’t drafted to the same team as my best friend, Cosmo, I’m determined to prove I belong here.
But when I meet my new no-nonsense captain, veteran defenseman Reid Raines, there is just one problem. Reid isn’t impressed by my flashy moves. In fact, he’s determined to rein in risk-takers like me and teach me to play it safe.
What he doesn’t know is that I have a plan of my own, one that has less to do with holding back my killer instincts and more to do with knocking him off balance with my wit and charm.
Basically, it’s time to Luka-love-bomb the captain.
But the more time we spend together, on and off the ice, the harder it is to ignore a shift between us.
My infectious energy has chipped away at Reid’s cool exterior, and every heated exchange feels charged with something new. Now I’m even more excited to see what will happen when the captain finally lets himself lose control.

Francis Starkey has everything he ever wanted: a successful career as a paediatrician, a beautiful home in London, and people who care about him.

Jack McAvoy is starting over.
Shy, gentle, and quietly determined, he leaves his small hometown to study dance in London, moving in with a brother who seems to have little room for him. The city offers possibility, but every dream comes at a cost.
When Francis and Jack meet, they clash. Sharp words, guarded hearts, and a tension neither of them can ignore. What begins as dislike soon turns into something far more dangerous: an attraction that burns, unsettling and impossible to deny.
Then a fragile new life enters Francis’s world, changing everything.
Between exhaustion and care, tenderness and need, their defences begin to crack.
Two men who never planned to rely on anyone discover that connection can heal, and that desire can be just as fierce as it is transformative.

He came for the burger but stayed for the bartender.
Finn O’Brien had two skills: making a killer cocktail and spectacularly bad decisions. So naturally, he quit his soul-crushing job to co-own a gay sports bar in Tampa with his best friend. What could go wrong?
Well, forgetting to actually promote their grand opening, for one.
On the bright side, while Finn stood behind a bar with no customers and a growing pile of bills, a rumpled blonde in a crooked tie shuffled in and parked himself in a corner booth.
Chase didn’t talk much.
Finn talked too much.
Chase was buttoned-up, guarded, and allergic to fun.
Finn was a mess of freckles and bad jokes who didn’t know when to quit.
They had absolutely nothing in common—except the way Chase kept showing up, night after night, claiming he was just there for the burger.
Between a meddling best friend, a kitchen staff placing bets on when Finn would finally make a move, and the world’s slowest-burning attraction, Finn had a bar to save, a found family to build, and a grumpy lawyer to crack—one colorfully named drink at a time.

BLURB:
Tripp Myers has his life mapped out—or at least that’s what he’s always believed. Raised among the polished expectations of Winston-Salem society, he’s mastered the role: the right words, the right smile, the right kind of ambition. But when his expensive car breaks down in the middle of Dusty Hollow, North Carolina, the life he’s worked so hard to maintain suddenly starts to feel like someone else’s dream.
Winston Diggs runs the only garage in town and has never had much patience for people who perform their lives instead of living them. When Tripp stumbles into his shop—disheveled, frustrated, and more honest than he’s ever allowed himself to be—Winston sees something beneath the polish. Something real.
But Dusty Hollow and Winston-Salem might as well be different worlds. Tripp has a legacy waiting for him, along with a father who expects him to follow the path that’s already been laid out. Winston knows better than to reach for something that was never meant to stay.
Except sometimes the hardest thing isn’t leaving—it’s choosing to stay. And sometimes the person who changes everything is the one who sees you clearly the moment you stop pretending.

Look, I’m not stupid. I’m just really, really bad at Statistics.
Bad enough that Coach is threatening to bench me if I don’t pull my grades up. Bad enough that Professor Colby assigned me a tutor from the Thinkers’ House: a nerd who actually enjoys calculating standard deviations.
Enter Bennet Marlowe: certified genius, overpowered paladin in shiny armor, and the most annoyingly attractive guy I’ve ever failed to impress. He’s all sharp edges and sharper wit, hiding behind oversized sweaters and reading glasses that have no business making me lose focus during study sessions. He’s also completely off-limits. It’s hard to learn anything when all I can think about is whether he’d let me kiss him if I got the answer right.
And yet, I keep finding excuses to see him. Crashing his D&D night. Convincing him to see a movie with me when my date bails. Walking him home and standing too close on his doorstep. Kissing him clumsily near said doorstep.
And somewhere between pivot tables and probability, I’m starting to think maybe I’m not just bad at Statistics. I’m catastrophically bad at keeping my hands to myself.
I’ve got one semester to pass this class and keep my scholarship. Falling for my tutor is definitely not the kind of extra credit I signed up for.

BLURB:
Cinder Adair’s life shattered in a single night.
A child died in the ER—and when the attending physicians lied to save themselves, the blame fell squarely on Cinder, a burned-out pediatric nurse already drowning under grief and impossible expectations. With his reputation ruined and every hospital door slammed shut, he takes the only job he can get: a low-pay medical assistant position with the disgraced Colorado Dragons hockey team.
It’s not the career he trained for.
It’s not the life he wanted.
But it’s a place to hide… and a chance to breathe again.
Taranis Rees knows exactly what it feels like to be discarded.
At thirty-seven, the veteran goaltender is aging out of the league—one hit away from forced retirement, one mistake away from losing the last identity he has. Quiet, lonely, and painfully shy off the ice, he never expected to care about anything except hockey.
Then he meets Cinder.
The soft-spoken, guilt-haunted new medic sparks something fierce and ancient in Taranis—something he’s kept buried for years. Something with scales, fire, and the instinct to protect what’s his.
When the press starts digging into Cinder’s past, painting him as a killer, Taranis—usually the gentlest man on the team—goes scorched earth.
He stands between Cinder and the world, shielding him with a fury no human goalie should have.
Because Taranis isn’t just fighting for a teammate.
He’s fighting for the man who quiets the storm inside him…
the man his dragon has chosen.
But as the truth behind the ER cover-up resurfaces—and Cinder’s enemies close in—both men will have to decide whether hiding can ever lead to healing…
or whether it’s time to step out of the shadows and fight for the future they never believed they deserved.

James
I’m forty years old, a tenured professor with investments, property, and a 401k.
But what I crave is to submit. To hand over control to Colton. We met on an app. His needs matched mine. It was only supposed to be once, then twice. No commitment, so I don’t feel bad cutting contact.
Then my world implodes when I get custody of siblings I didn’t know I have.
Everything would have been fine, I would have survived on my own, if not for Sir, my hookup, walking through the doors of my classroom.
He’s over a decade younger than me, and now I’m his professor, yet Sir is giving me schedules I need and caretaking from a distance. I know I should stay away, but I can’t. No matter what he gives me, I want more.
Colton
I’m twenty-eight years old, starting my first semester as a transfer student at a local university, finally following my dreams.
And then I see him, the sub I haven’t stopped thinking about, the one who comes undone for me in ways I’ve never experienced before. He makes all my Dominant instincts flare to life. I’ve always loved caretaking, but James makes me need it on a bone-deep level.
It’s not long before he’s on his knees for me again, surrendering in ways we both crave. He’s forbidden, my professor, my good boy, and I’m his Sir…his dirty little secret. But it’s not enough. I want it all from him, if only he’ll let me have it.

His past proves deadly, but can his heart take the continued denial?
Brett has a highly stressful job, but he is dedicated to it and the people he works for. As the son of a drug lord, Brett has fought every day to be a protector rather than a criminal. The people who depend on him have been targeted by someone trying to take them out, but so far, they’ve kept one step ahead. But now, as clues point towards someone closer to home, he is haunted by the fear that he has “barely anything to give” and that a relationship with his right-hand man would only lead to a devastating “imbalance” in the line of fire
Felix has been pining for his boss since the day he started working for him. It’s unrequited, but Felix can’t help but torture himself every day. His secrets are coming out, and so are other people’s, convincing him that his blood-stained training could never provide a stable life. He doesn’t have any intention of leaving. At least until someone physically removes him from the vicinity, and when all hope is lost, he clings to the memories of Brett and the whispers of what-ifs.
When one of their own is taken, the Royal Bodyguards will take down anyone to get them back.

BLURB:
Tommy Newsome is nineteen, newly out of his small Georgia town, and already in over his head.
Athens was supposed to mean freedom—college, independence, a life that didn’t smell like hay and judgment. But standing inside his first gay bar, heart pounding and palms slick, Tommy realizes escaping home didn’t magically give him confidence. The music’s too loud. The men are too gorgeous. And he’s one wrong move away from bolting back to his truck.
Then the bartender looks up.
Mike Scott smiles like he knows exactly what Tommy’s thinking—and exactly what he wants.
Mike has poured drinks for every kind of man imaginable. As Scott Masters, he’s spent twenty years being watched, desired, and consumed. He knows confidence when he sees it… and he knows raw, shaking need when it walks up to his bar and can barely get out the words, “Uh. Coke. Please.”
Tommy doesn’t mean to stare. Or blush. Or confess, after one too many encouraging smiles, that this is his first time in a place like this. But Mike’s voice is warm, teasing without being cruel, and when he leans in close to be heard over the music, Tommy’s brain goes deliciously blank.
Mike shouldn’t flirt. The age gap is dangerous. The innocence is tempting in all the wrong ways. And Mike has sworn—repeatedly—that he’s done picking men who remind him how badly he can want something that won’t last. But when Tommy admits, cheeks burning, that he’s never been with a man… never even kissed one… Mike realizes this isn’t just another night behind the bar.
This is a moment. A choice. And maybe the kind of risk that changes everything.
Because Tommy didn’t come to Woofs looking for a hookup.
He came looking for himself.
And Mike might finally be ready to stop performing and start living.
Some temptations don’t just make you burn—they make you brave enough to reach.

I didn’t know the house I broke into belonged to a mafioso, and now my revenge arc is a lot more complicated.
7 years ago, I died. Nameless, forgotten, left in a ditch after an overdose. I don’t know who saved me or why. God? Satan? A good Samaritan whose name I’ll never know? It doesn’t really matter.
I don’t know who I used to be. My name, my past, they were buried. But somehow, I’m still here.
I’m not the only one the Sleepless Reapers have used and abused, but I will be the last, if I have anything to say about it.
I don’t need the attention of a mafioso. Even if Alessio is fun to play with, and even more fun to make beg. But I don’t have time for his devotion or his pretty, breathless pleas.
I have a score to settle, and I can’t rest until every last Sleepless Reaper is six feet under.
Alessio makes me feel something other than hatred for the first time that I can remember. He makes me hope one day I might be more than a ghost driven by vengeance. He can’t pull me out of the darkness, but maybe we can keep each other company in the shadows until all our demons are exorcized.

LENGTH: 212 pages
RELEASE DATE: 4/3/2026
BLURB:
I’ve always known exactly who I am: your average, small-town carpenter. My life is steady and predictable, exactly the way I like it. My childhood best friend Micah, on the other hand, has always known exactly who he isn’t—someone who stays put. As a queer reality TV set designer, he drifts from project to project, rarely sticking around anywhere for long.
Except this time.
When Heartland Overhaul brings him back to our hometown to help restore the old post office, we end up working on the project together. And working with Micah should feel easy. Familiar. Safe. Instead it’s… complicated. Especially after my fear of heights sends me crashing into a brutal fall and my injuries are more than I can manage by myself. Suddenly Micah’s moving into my place to help me recover.
What starts as him playing caretaker slowly turns into something else. The lines between friendship and something more blur until one night, without warning, I kiss him, and everything changes. We agree to see where it goes, but only while the show is filming. No promises. No long-distance. No setting ourselves up for heartbreak when Micah inevitably leaves again.
The problem is, everyone else seems to see something we’re pretending not to, and sooner or later, I have to decide if falling for Micah is a risk I’m willing to take, and Micah has to decide if staying put somewhere—if staying with me—is something he can finally do.

The plan is simple. What could possibly go wrong?
Prince Torex
Tor’s determined to get around his brother the High King’s plan to marry him off. Instead of following his brother’s suggestion (Varex should really be more careful how he phrases things), Tor’s going to pursue the most objectionable, most inappropriate prince in the United Realms. He’ll probably seduce him, since they might as well be getting something out of this. Then he’ll be able to prove his brother’s plan is asinine so he can go back to living his life the way he prefers. Simple. He isn’t quite sure what to do with the fact that Pel just might be everything he never knew he was looking for.
Prince Pelun
Pel’s determined to avoid the most obnoxious, most annoying high prince in the United Realms. He will definitely not fall for his totally non-existent charm. (Pel isn’t charmed. Not even a little. Truly.) He’s going to prove to everyone who’s ever judged Pel that he absolutely doesn’t need anyone in his life, certainly not someone with way too much magic, like Prince Torex. Obviously, it will be a piece of cake.

Denis
I’m the best goalie in the league.
Just ask me.
Yes, I have an ego the size of NYC. Maybe that’s why I’ve crashed and burned all my relationships. Love, like a hockey game, is a competition. And once I win, I’m ready for the next game, the next man.
Until I meet him. Sterling Forest. The arrogant, obnoxious news anchor who calls hockey players thugs on ice. He tempts me…intrigues me. Makes me want to kiss that scowl off his lips. I want him to burn for me.
Instead Sterling is the one to set my heart on fire.
Sterling
I know nothing about hockey, and I’m happy to keep it that way. I’ve apologized for my remarks, but the insufferable Denis Bouvier isn’t satisfied. I even do the unthinkable and attend a hockey game. Okay, maybe it is more than brute force. But I can’t tell him he’s right.
Now he’s everywhere I go, and I hate that he fascinates me.
I can’t escape his larger-than-life presence, and that sexy French accent. The more I push him away, the closer he pulls me in.
And I’m afraid to admit I don’t want to let him go.
We’ve spent years running away from broken families and broken promises. But when life explodes around us, we’re running toward each other. And now that the unthinkable has happened, we need to find trust in each other and what our hearts are saying: love is the one thing that ultimately can save us.
