Finn
Ulysses MacDonald left my bed after earth-shattering sex, but he certainly hasn’t left my mind. When he turns up as the Mission City Gazette’s new editor, I’m intrigued. Then he starts poking around my fire hall, sneaking and spying. He won’t tell me what he’s doing there, and he keeps dodging my attempts to get close. I don’t trust him, but Ulysses is hot as hell, and I hate realizing I still want him.
Ulysses
Sleeping with Finnegan O’Sullivan should’ve felt like a mistake—but it doesn’t. I’m still attracted to the firefighter’s quick wit and willingness to put his body on the line to save total strangers. But an anonymous tip has led me to illegal activities in Firehall One, and I’m a reporter before anything else. I’m not going to back off or get distracted, just because Finn is around. My first job now is to figure out if Finn is involved in the crimes, or just an oblivious bystander. If I’m wrong, I might ruin a good man’s reputation. Oh, and I might also get us both killed.

RELEASE DATE: 5/4/2026
BLURB:
Keaton Stafford knows exactly how dangerous Rowan Cross can be.
And it has nothing to do with what Rowan can do in the cage.
Growing up, they were next-door neighbors and best friends. Just two boys who shared secrets, first kisses, and more. But one brutal night during their senior year of high school destroyed everything, turning them into enemies who haven’t spoken since.
After serving four years in the Air Force, Rowan returns home ready to turn years of jiu-jitsu, wrestling, and military boxing into a shot at an MMA future he’s wanted for years. He’s determined not to waste his second chance, and the last thing he expects to find is Keaton already making a name for himself at Titan Elite—or to end up as his roommate.
Training at the same gym means there’s no escape from the past between them. Every argument cuts too deep. Every glance lingers too long. Every touch sparks something far hotter than hate.
The more time they spend together, the harder it becomes to pretend their history meant nothing.
But attraction doesn’t erase betrayal, and old wounds don’t stay buried for long.
For Keaton and Rowan, this fight is only the first round.

I stole from the wrong people, and now I’m on the run. Niko is hot, dangerously capable, and very much not interested in helping a disaster like me. Too bad for him, because when I show up at his church, I’m not exactly giving him the option to say no.

A decade of peace shatters the moment a sassy troublemaker lands on my church steps after midnight. I should send him away. The mercenary he’s looking for no longer exists. I’m a man of the cloth now.
But Tommy has zero survival instincts. Without me, he’s as good as dead. The people hunting him aren’t the forgiving type. Protecting him isn’t my job, but the brat is pure temptation. He makes it impossible to say no. And who knows, maybe the crazy mess he drags me into is the kind of out-of-this-world plot twist I’ve been secretly hoping for.

When a phone call brings up feelings I thought I’d buried, old habits have me seeking a friend from my past. But when the door to his flat swings open, it’s a stranger that answers. A stranger with dimples, a bright smile, and blue eyes that truly see me. He quickly becomes my friend, my safe space, and the one man I want to let in, no matter how much it scares me. In the moments we spend together, where I open up like I never have before, where his touches linger and the silence is comforting, we fall in love.
It’s real, and it’s perfect, and it’s the happiest I’ve ever been.
But I should have known it wouldn’t last.
Darius
He needs a friend. I see it in his sad eyes the moment I open the door. I know who he is before he says his name, and though befriending him is betrayal; I want to be the person he leans on. So I show him he can trust me. That he means something to me.
Oliver gives me the affection, love, and attention I felt was missing from life with a father who gave me a wealth of material possessions but little of his time, and in return, I love Oliver the way he deserves – with my whole heart. We’re made for each other. A perfect fit.
But when a secret is revealed, I have to make a choice with consequences that sting either way: love or family. Whether the choice I make is the right one or not, it’s the one I have to live with.

BLURB:
When portals from another world split open the sky, humanity braces for war… only to discover the monsters from Erethar aren’t here to conquer. They need something from humans. Something oddly specific in order to survive.
And that’s when the government begins recruiting for a ritual that sounds a lot like a cross-dimensional booty call.
Normally an exclusivity contract with a monster called Rathyn of the Dark Vale would be a hard pass, but the more time I spend with him, the more I realize there’s more to this whole monster/human thing than what the government is telling us.
I want to believe it’s nothing more than an arrangement, but the way he melts under my touch, and the way he’s constantly seeking more, makes me believe that maybe his fate is wrapped up in my own.
It’s no longer about what I can do for him.
It’s about what we mean to each other.
I’m Everest Hale, and I’m doing my part to save the world with my… Well, I’m not at liberty to discuss, but let’s just say it’s given with vigorous enthusiasm.
You’re welcome, Earth.

Rule #2 of Revenge Club: Don’t fall for your target’s brother.
LEO
I’m Leo Brennan. Tech consultant. Negotiator of billion-dollar deals. Master of the corporate death stare.
And I’m currently wearing a sparkly pink unicorn onesie with a light-up horn while screaming “I believe in magic!” at a roomful of sugar-crazed six-year-olds.
How did I get here? I tried to get revenge on my nemesis with a syrup-related “accident” at a restaurant. Except, I hit his lookalike brother instead. On his birthday. And broke his ankle.
Now I’m making amends by playing nursemaid to him and helping him out with his jobs, which include dog walking and becoming Sparkle McHornface, the sidekick to a children’s entertainer called Captain Giggles.
The worst part? I’m starting to actually like the guy. And he has no idea the real reason why he’s on crutches.
ARCHIE
Oh, I definitely know.
The handsome stranger who “accidentally” baptized me in maple syrup thinks he’s so subtle. But I’ve figured out his connection to my estranged brother, and I also know something else.
Guilt is a powerful motivator.
And watching this grumpy tech millionaire wrestle with drooling dogs and declare himself a “pretty, pretty unicorn” to a room full of six-year-olds? That’s entertainment I can’t pass up.
But somewhere between his disastrous balloon animals and surprisingly tender moments, something else is going on. I’m falling for the real Leo behind the corporate armor.
Which is dangerous because I’m currently hiding my own secrets.
And the last thing I need is someone unraveling them.

At thirty-seven, I would be past my prime in most human sports, but shifters live a lot longer and hold up better. Usually. We are immune to almost every ailment on the planet and remarkably resilient to injuries that would kill a human. Shifting to our animals can heal most damage…but not mine.
What happened to me was not only so extreme it likely could not be healed by a shift, and so far, I have no managed to achieve one. My running championship days in the Skin to Fur competitions are over, and my wolf is trapped inside me.
The only relief I get from the mental and physical agony that follows me everywhere can be found at Crowned, where my brand of pain is understood.

Rowan’s life is perfect. He’s the heart of the team, the mascot everyone adores, the little brother who keeps morale high and locker room banter at peak chaos levels. He’s got his found family, his purpose, and absolutely zero interest in the complications that used to haunt him.
Then Reid Garrison shows up as the new head coach.
Years ago, Rowan made a very ill-advised pass at the man—and got benched hard for it. He’s had plenty of time to get over the humiliation, the rejection, the alpha who saw him as a distraction to be removed. Except Reid’s not the same coach anymore and Rowan is not the same innocent omega. And when the alpha’s heat-flushed gaze starts finding Rowan across the locker room, it becomes clear: neither of them has really moved on.
With the whole team as an audience, Rowan’s about to learn that some connections don’t stay buried—and some alphas come back to claim what they should have taken the first time.
