After recently losing his boy to another man, Rhodes spends his nights at The PlayPen, a club for the daddy/Little scene, torn between wanting what everyone else has and bitterness. Cairo has what he needs.
Rhodes is a daddy without a Little. It’s a tough position for him. He’s used to having that small comfort in his life. Everything else is violence and blood. As part of the country’s biggest weapons dealer’s security team, he’s accustomed to being hard. He misses the softness of caring for someone with an innocent heart. Of course, the moment he chooses to let it go, life drops another needy Little on his lap. He’s not about to say no.
Cairo has a problem only a powerful daddy can solve. It’s a secret that could get Rhodes killed. But Cairo only has one shot to throw himself on Rhodes’ mercy and show he can be the best boy. If he can’t pull it off, then the move means he’s as good as dead. He’s willing to take the risk for a shot at something better.

Julian Purdy, archivist, knew his eidetic memory would get him into trouble eventually. But after being suspended from his job, his trip home was interrupted by a being who shouldn’t exist. The corpse the being was holding was irrelevant, it was the creature who fascinated him. And maybe the fates were watching him, because now Julian had the time to research what this creature actually was.
“I remove problems…I have done so for a very long time.”
Cillian, Eldritch guardian, feeds on evil souls, and there were a lot of them in Madison. When his feeding one night was interrupted by a slight man with an interesting personality, Cillian finally had another purpose – find out everything he could about the man who called to his soul… and shadows. He only hoped he could do it without causing Julian to run away.
“This has to be a lavish courtship gift,” Julian said aloud. “You brought me a courtship gift.”
Neither Cillian nor Julian were used to courting or relationships, but they are both invested enough to keep trying. However, evil lurks in Madison, and Marcus Vane is the most evil of all. When he sets his sights on Julian, Cillian and his brothers pour all their attention into taking him down. But it seems Julian isn’t the only one reading ancient books, and when the confrontation comes, it could spell the end not only for Julian and Cillian, but for the Eldritch guardians completely.

BLURB:
Lachlan Doyle’s biggest problem seems to be which girl to invite to prom. Everyone thinks the golden boy of Royce High, captain of the football team and senior class president, has a charmed life.
Everyone except me.
To me, he’s the sad-eyed boy next door. All my life, I’ve overheard what goes on at his house and wished I could save him from it. I know that underneath Lachlan’s smiling, flirty exterior is a very broken human being.
One who has to fake interest in cheerleaders and so desperately wants to escape his horrible home life that he auditions for the school play just to be out of the house in the offseason. He’d rather spend hours rehearsing with the weird drama kids than deal with his family.
Except Lachlan didn’t know when he accepted the lead role that he’d have to kiss a guy—me—in front of the entire audience. And he didn’t know that I’ve had a crush on him forever. Although he might be suspicious, given what we get up to when no one else is around.
Regardless, there’s no chance we’d ever be together for real. The only time the popular jock and the emo goth make sense as a couple is when we’re both acting like someone else.

For six seasons, he’s been the Chicago Ironhawks’ starting goalie—precise, disciplined, untouchable. His routines are fixed. His world is ordered. It’s the system that keeps him at the top of his game.
Then he moves into a new condo.
And meets his neighbor.

But they do.

And Brock, in turn, begins to notice the cracks in Sully’s easy charm.
As the Ironhawks push toward the playoffs, the pressure on Brock tightens. The system has always held under pressure. Off the ice, though, it starts to fail.

And Brock is left with something he can’t control, can’t fix, and can’t ignore.
Now, with everything on the line, Brock has to decide what matters more—holding onto the system that made him, or risking everything for something that doesn’t follow rules.
Because love doesn’t wait for the perfect moment.
It asks to be chosen.

A quest for a prince. A bond neither expected. A love that defies the oldest elven magic.
Beiro Vahorn, known to the small band of druidic scouts he rides with as the Pine Outrider, has come to a painful realization: the man that he has been infatuated with since he joined the royal exploratory committee has fallen in love with another. When the shy, sharp-eyed archer is called back from his current assignment, he’s sent on a monumental quest to find a long-lost prince of Melowynn. Tasked to cross the mighty Witherhorn Mountains to locate the king’s brother, he finds himself working with a dwarven sellsword.
Asdren Grimmane knows the dark underbelly of the mountains better than most know their own faces. He’s rough, loud, and more than willing to bend a rule or twenty to get his pay. The battle-worn dwarf long ago traded hearthlight for the road. Once a decorated warrior, now a mercenary with too many scars and not enough years ahead, he carries his honor like an old wound—painful but never forgotten. Their alliance begins in frost and friction, but the deeper they journey—through underground passes, forgotten dwarven ruins, and the whispers of ancient gods—the harder it becomes for Beiro to deny the pull between them.
As the hunt for the lost prince twists into a peril that could unravel the balance of nature itself, Beiro and Asdren must decide what they’re willing to risk: their vows, their kingdoms…or each other.

Julian’s safety depends on my compliance in his twisted games. I’ll be the monster if it means keeping the man I love safe. Even if it costs me my soul.
Julian
Igor and I married in secret.
It was a promise to always choose each other, but he was taken from me.
I chased his shadow all across Europe, killing whoever got in my way, but he kept escaping me.
Until now.
His brother is the most feared leader of the underworld.
But nothing will keep me front the man I claimed as mine since the first time I saw him.
Standing on each side of a war brewing in the underworld, can love be stronger than the horrors Igor and Julian have committed to protect each other? Or is Redemption out of reach for their darkened souls?

It was supposed to be a hook-up.
It wasn’t supposed to be forever.
Zachariah Baxter is used to playing alone.
Raised on the road by a grandfather who taught him to fiddle, he learned early not to count on anyone staying for long. Whitebark County is just another stop. A few sets at the fair. No promises.
Then Sheriff’s Deputy Colton McAllen shows up to listen.
Zach’s been watched before. This is the first time he’s wanted to be seen.
Colton has roots—a badge, family land, a life built on not wanting too much. He’s never been the guy someone stays for. Falling for a traveling musician who’s already planning his next exit isn’t smart.
It isn’t temporary either.
For the first time, Zach starts to believe he doesn’t have to leave. For the first time, Colton considers risking everything he’s built for someone who might not stay.
Then the danger Zach ran from catches up—and protecting him stops being part of the job.
Because loving Zach means stepping into the line of fire.
And if Colton falls, it won’t just break Zach’s heart.
It will prove he was never meant to be loved in the first place.

Long past the age where my parents expected more children, I came along. Surprise! My older siblings were already either grown or almost by the time I arrived, and although Mom and Dad never complained about having to start all over again, I always wondered if they’d had other plans for their golden years.
When I completed my education, they were both elderly and needed someone to take care of them. After all their love and kindness, what could I do but step in and return the favor. None of my siblings helped, but it never seemed a burden. Sure, I had dreams. But every Sunday when I took them on an outing to the ice cream parlor and watched them laugh and share their treats, it was the highlight of my week.
After they passed, my siblings who had somehow managed never to be available to drive Dad to the doctor or Mom to a hair appointment sat stunned as the attorney read their will. They were left out in very clear language. I inherited it all, along with my freedom to live my life as I saw fit. I missed them, but it was time to make a fresh start.
Open an ice cream parlor One that offers imaginative flavors. Wild tastes. Over-the top treats with house-made everything. But where? I close my eyes, walk to the map on the wall, and let Fate decide where I’ll move.
Oliver Creek it is.
Hope they like ice cream there.
