INFORMATION BELOW

 

TITLE: Boy Made of Sky

AUTHOR: Winter Randall

SERIES: Love on the Ley Lines #1

PUBLISHER: Haunted Hearts Publishing

LENGTH: 96 pages

RELEASE DATE: 5/25/2026

BLURB:

I went into the woods looking for something extraordinary. And something extraordinary is what I got.

The man appeared in the woods one day. He summoned me in the dead of night. He told me he was a piece of the sky that fell to Earth in human form.

If it weren’t for the ley lines—and the fact that his skin mirrors the sky—I would never believe a story like that. But it’s impossible to deny.

Now, I have a sky man living in my house—a man who gets excited about snow and music and learning how to kiss… I might be falling for him, but one thing is for sure: he can’t stay here. He has to go back before it’s too late.

TITLE: Proof by Contradiction

AUTHOR: Alex W Wells

SERIES: Carrick Brothers #1

PUBLISHER: Self Published

LENGTH: 460 pages

RELEASE DATE: 5/25/2026

BLURB:

Three days in Manchester and Ewan Carrick has already decided he’s leaving.

The economics degree was his mother’s idea. The damp halls, the grey skies, the moquette the colour of a confession nobody wanted to make: all confirmation that Lewisham was better. He’ll finish the term. He’ll go home.

Then Dr Laurence Haldrey walks into a lecture theatre, uncaps a marker, and Ewan’s exit strategy falls apart.

Laurence is thirty-one, Oxford-trained, and held together by rolled sleeves and self-control. He does not touch students. He does not bend rules. He does not look twice at the student in the back row who solves his problem sets too fast and refuses to raise his hand.

Except he does look. And Ewan looks back.

Office hours become Tuesday afternoons with the door closed. Then a borrowed key. Then a green door in Chorlton. Then a thing that could cost Laurence his career and break every lie Ewan tells himself.

TITLE: Knot His Beast

AUTHORS: Freya Ellis James & Jen Bullard

SERIES: Traumaverse #1

PUBLISHER: Self Published

LENGTH: 244 pages

RELEASE DATE: 5/25/2026

BLURB:

I don’t like people, I prefer the company of musicians and only if they’re streaming through the speakers at my store.

I don’t like small talk, I don’t do friendly. No one cares if I glare at them as they peruse my vinyl records, and most days I couldn’t give a shit if I make a sale. Surprisingly, my RBF doesn’t phase them, and I never hurt for money.

My customers abide by a silent understanding; follow my rules, accept my grumpiness, or know they’ll be blacklisted from coming back.

Until… the large, oblivious alpha who decides to busk in front of 88 Keys like he owns the sidewalk. His voice isn’t bad, but the fact that I really like listening to it is.

The problem is, his voice makes me crave him and before I can stop it, he’s upended my quiet little life and made a mess of things—my heart included. And now? He’s like a raging bull leading me down an even messier path, and it looks like it’s going to take an entire damn crew to put my life back together.

TITLE: Love At Orc’s Sight

AUTHOR: Robin Jo Margaret

PUBLISHER: Self Published

LENGTH: 139 pages

RELEASE DATE: 5/25/2026

BLURB:

Wyatt has mostly cut contact with this toxic family, but when one of his cousins invites him to her wedding, he can’t find it in himself to say no, even though they’re not that close.

He goes to the event prepared to hate it, but on his way to the venue the universe decides to give him a gift by letting him meet Andrea, an old childhood friend he lost contact with a decade before. As it turns out they have a lot more in common than they originally knew, sparks start to fly.

They have a night of passion, and promise to meet each other again for a date. But desire is simple. Feelings, however, are not.

TITLE: Let the Wolf

AUTHOR: Amy Lane

SERIES: Covert #2

PUBLISHER: Dreamspinner Press

LENGTH: 362 pages

RELEASE DATE: 5/26/2026

BLURB:

The Special Crimes Task Force (SCTF) recruits guys willing to disobey a bad order and put civilian lives ahead of their own. It is tighter than most units—when they’re not protecting innocent civilians, they’re protecting their pack.

Gideon Chadwick recruits Joey Carlyle, who has worked his entire life to escape his mobster father. Learning fast, Joey loves his new job, and Gideon discovers the kid’s company doesn’t suck. Joey sees everything as predator or prey; Gideon sees every problem as having a solution. Between them, they mix instinct and reason into an increasingly volatile combination.

When their passion finally erupts, it’s more explosive than either of them anticipated—and in their line of work, that could be dangerous. While Joey tries to keep up with Gideon in the “think first” department, Gideon tries to remember how to think at all. Their unit’s lives depend on them, and they can’t let their pack down because they’re tangled up in each other.

TITLE: Driven by Impulse

AUTHOR: Gemma Snow

SERIES: Princes Motorcycle Club #1

PUBLISHER: Pride Publishing

RELEASE DATE: 5/26/2026

BLURB:

He’s a man at the edge. They might just be the ones to bring him back.

Sheriff Hanna never knew why Ash left all those years ago. At least, she never believed what they told her about why the foster brother she had fallen in love with disappeared without a trace. But none of that matters now, not the broken heart or the unanswered questions, not when the woman she’s promised to protect has disappeared, and Ash is the only one she trusts to help.

The only one she trusts to save them all.

Ash became the one thing he needed most when he was young—a protector, a fighter for the vulnerable. But right now the only person he seems to be fighting with is his motorcycle club captain, Nicco, who refuses to let anyone in after the terrible events of the last year. Nicco is wasting away before Ash’s eyes, and it’s breaking his heart—not that Ash’s best friend and the man who saved him from Hell has any idea how Ash truly feels—and Ash has every plan of keeping it that way.

Until his past comes knocking on the door in the form of a stubborn redhead he’s never been able to forget.

Nicco is ready to walk away. He’s spent the last year licking his wounds and healing from his past and he’s ready to hand the club over and be done once and for all. The problem is that the club is the only thing keeping him going, and giving it up feels like letting the darkness win, darkness Nicco has been battling for far too long.

Darkness only Ash seems to notice.

Of course, Ash is the only person who has ever truly understood Nicco in the ways that matter. Ash, and apparently his tornado of a foster sister, who descends on his club, his life, and his world with all the subtlety of an explosion. Hanna sees, feels, and wants too much from both of them—and the unbelievable thing is that Nicco finds he’ll do just about anything to make her happy.

And just about anything to make Ash happy.

Healing isn’t linear, as it turns out. But opening your heart to the right person—or people—can make all the difference.

As long as they stay out of the line of fire. And that’s something the three of them have never been very good at, especially as dangerous secrets are revealed and powerful men threaten everything that matters to them.

That’s the thing about survivors, though. They’ll fight, battle-worn, bloody knuckled, and covered in mud until the very end for the people they love. And the chance of happiness is always worth the war.

BLURB:

Since the moment they met, San Francisco Sea Lions defenseman Luca Mazetti has harbored a debilitating crush on his on-ice partner and roommate, Breezy. Loud and friendly, Breezy mistakenly believes he’s Italian even though he’s from Montreal. In short, he’s everything Luca never thought he’d want. When Breezy asks for help navigating love and sex, Luca is powerless to resist, despite knowing he’s only going to end up getting hurt.

Chris Calabrese, “Breezy” to his teammates, knows he’s not the sharpest blade on the skate. He can’t even figure out why none of his girlfriends stick around. And he’s definitely not a good fit for the newly vacant alternate captaincy everyone keeps trying to give him. All Breezy wants is for the team to get along, despite the changes and upheaval plaguing the roster. If he can keep Luca living in his apartment as well, even better. Breezy knows his best friend is way too good for him and will move on eventually, but for reasons Breezy doesn’t fully understand, he’s desperate to keep Luca’s attention.

With dissent brewing among the Sea Lions, can Luca and Chris hold the team together? Or will the Sea Lions disintegrate along with their friendship? And if it does, can they build something stronger from the rubble?

Cupid has a help desk

Alaskan pilot Quentin Hannigan is good at his job, but not so great with people. He’s the last man anyone who knows him would expect to fall in love at first sight. Until he does. Hard.

Just one problem.

Joe Kendrick, widower and frazzled dad of three, does not have the bandwidth for this. Between his kids, his trainwreck of a sister, and bills that keep piling up, the last thing he needs is a too-good-to-be-true, and admittedly very hot, pilot swooping in to play knight in shining armor.

Luckily for the star-crossed couple the world’s premier, and only, covert match-making service is on the case. Match-Made’s highly trained operatives are ready and willing to engineer a happy-ever-after, one way or another..

They just need Quentin and Joe to cooperate just once!

BLURB:

Two heroes. One brain cell.

Fellas, is it gay to kiss your bff while on a quest through the forest you’re unqualified for?

Juniper O’Reilly is good at only two things: demolishing a pint of mead and finding the perfect skincare routine. Everything else—taking care of the farm, bartering for goods, any sort of manual labor—falls to Juniper’s best friend, the absurdly capable, endlessly patient Mo Elmthorn.

But when Juniper accidentally volunteers them both for a quest to kill a fearsome monster, he knows he’s finally gotten in over his head. Juniper hates camping, he hates the dark, and there’s no way all these foraged mushrooms are going to sit well in his stomach. One thing he doesn’t hate? How good Mo’s thighs look in his questing pants—he doesn’t have time to think about that, though, with a monster to hunt and their futures on the line.

But monsters come in all shapes and sizes. When Juniper and Mo realize that the terrifying beast they’ve sworn to kill is just a scared little girl torn from her family, they’re off to find not only the true villain of the story, but maybe even a happy ending.

Good thing he loves the baby he’s taking care of, even if little Jacks is off the charts on things like growth and development.

Dragon shifter Hayden Sadler thinks he wants a normal human manny to teach his adopted son Jacks how to act like a human. But soon enough he realizes there’s more to Daniel than meets the eye, and that’s okay with him.

For Rayden James, love means devastating loss, so he focuses his energy on growing his private security business and avoiding romantic entanglements at all costs. His dedication pays off when his company lands its largest account yet. But the ink is barely dry on the contract when a chaotic charmer crashes through his defenses and makes Ray crave things he shouldn’t want.

Atticus Livengood is not living up to his name after a teeny-tiny mistake costs him his career, his home, and his dignity. With his self-esteem circling the drain, Atticus makes overhauling his life the top priority. A new job offers the perfect fresh start until a hopeless attraction to the head of security threatens to trip him up.

Sparks fly from the jump, and each new encounter fuels a physical and emotional connection that refuses to be ignored. But surrendering to their desire means making themselves vulnerable to one another and a fickle universe that takes just as quickly as it gives.

BLURB:

FOREST

Ten years ago, I ran from the only home I ever knew to start a new life in a new city and covered my body with enough ink to make me unrecognizable. Then, someone showed up to my door with a knife and a note.

The Wilds are calling you home.

Someone is after my family for the sins of our past.

I go back to the place I swore I’d never return and my unhinged stepbrother, Tucker, is waiting for me.

Tucker says I’ve forgotten everything we did. The games. The screams. The nights I begged for him.

I swear I don’t remember. But my body does. And every time he touches me, the mountain pulls me deeper into the darkness I thought I’d escaped.

TUCKER

I’ve waited for Forest to come back for ten years, painting his face on every canvas I own.

When he finally heeds the call and shows up at my front door, he’s changed. He’s bigger and stronger, and covered in tattoos. But those deep, woodsy green eyes tell the same truth he’s always been too afraid to admit—he needs me.

I’ve kept the Wilds alive in his absence. I’ve tended the rituals and guarded the secrets. This place should be mine, but he’s the rightful heir.

When bodies start dropping, he thinks he can run again.

He’s wrong.

I’ve lost him once and I’ll never lose him again.

BLURB:

Asher Reynolds–Dutch to his teammates–is the guy who always wants things to be fair. But there’s nothing fair about losing his sister in a car accident a few months ago, along with suffering an injury that’s going to derail his senior year with the Radford Renegades.

Wyatt Chase is used to handling whatever life throws at him. A former pro hockey player who lost his career to a brutal injury, he’s now a single dad to a precocious five-year-old—and Radford’s newest physical therapist. He’s no stranger to clawing his way forward in spite of the odds.

What he’s not expecting is for Asher–broody and sullen and injured–to be his first serious case so early in the season. Or his next door neighbor. And he’s definitely not expecting for Asher’s depth–and pain–to stir something in Chase that he’s spent years trying to push past.

He knows that Asher is one-hundred-percent off limits. He’s Chase’s patient, and it’s his responsibility to help rehab him and keep the line between them clear.

So, why do they keep finding themselves crossing it over and over again?

Love will test you

JULIAN

Being captain of the One-Thirteen firehouse is everything to me. After a draining year, however, I decide my personal life needs a bit of a kickstart. Signing up to the Rainbow Reach charity is certainly out of my comfort zone, but when a young woman asks me to walk her down the aisle after her homophobic parents announce they’re boycotting her big day, I couldn’t be more honored.

What I don’t count on is her outrageous, gorgeous, and utterly infuriating younger brother flirting shamelessly with me the entire wedding. But maybe a no strings attached encounter is exactly the kind of thing I’ve been looking for. Except there seem to be strings after all, and one night doesn’t feel like enough.

Just look at how ridiculous our names are. Anything between us is destined to end in tragedy.

ROMEO

I’m used to my parents treating my fabulous ass with zero respect. But trying to ruin my big sister’s big day? Nuh-uh, unforgivable. Except I’m a lot less mad when Captain Daddy aka Julian Valentine appears like the literal hero he is. He might be doing this for my sister, but hello? I need a little rescuing as well, damn it!

It was just supposed to be one night of fun. However, when my life blows up in my face, Julian is unbelievably there once again to pick up the pieces. I don’t want things to be weird when he’s done so much already, but he makes it so hard (yes, pun intended.) If he doesn’t let his guard down soon and trust my feelings for him are real, I think my heart is going to explode!

Just look at how romantic our names are. We’re destined to be together!

Rowan lost his backpack and found his new daddy.

I don’t exactly hide who I am. I don’t announce it either.

Which is how I end up at Chained with the wrong backpack. Instead of seeing the adorable clothes and favorite stuffie I’d packed for my night in the little room with friends, I’m staring at a laptop, three neckties, and a leather portfolio.

I didn’t just lose my backpack. I stole someone’s work bag.

I’m in so much trouble.

It takes me all night to work up the courage to call the number I find inside. I get voice mail and manage to spit out what happened.

The next morning, a text bings with a meet-up address, one of the most powerful law firms in the city. I don’t put it together until I’m standing in a huge corner office, looking up at the hottest daddy I’ve ever seen. He has my backpack, too, and from the smile on his face, he knows exactly what the items inside mean.

Silas and I are Wildlings—a chaotic crew of cousins and found family. Now that we’re all grown up, we’ve joined the Guardians, our family’s illegal vigilante operation in the Texas Hill Country. And Silas? He’s our most dangerous asset.

I’ve been fascinated by him ever since I found out he existed. Twenty years ago, the Guardians discovered him as a child in a genetics lab. He’d been created in a petri dish, made to resemble a terrifying old wives tale.

He’s also half a foot shorter and a hundred pounds lighter than me. Doesn’t matter. He’s still the scariest thing in any room. Yet he likes it when I’m in control.

Good news: my sister thinks we’re cute together. Bad news: my dad killed the man responsible for Silas’s terrifying genetics.

Worse news: my fathers hate the man I should not be sleeping with.

He’s gone, and I can’t get over the loss of him. I can’t, and I don’t want to.

Out of nowhere, Dayyan has appeared in my life. He’s determined to talk to me as if he’s already decided to become a permanent fixture in my life. In my head, and in my heart.

My heart isn’t free though; it belongs to Danny. It’s his. Forever. Right?

What if I want him?

What if he’s the man who makes me believe in new beginnings?

survival. But control shattered the night everything went public.

Now the League is watching closer than ever, sponsors are calculating risk, and the narrative about his life is no longer his to shape.

Rafe Ortiz has never known how to love quietly. Music is loud. Wanting is louder. And losing Ollie—even for a second—showed him exactly what silence costs. His band is bigger than ever, the world tour looming, and the spotlight hotter than it’s ever been. But success feels hollow when the one person who grounds him is slipping through his fingers.

They’ve already survived ambition, distance, and secrets.

What they don’t know how to survive is the damage left behind.

When reputations are on the line, contracts hang in the balance, and old wounds reopen under public scrutiny, Ollie and Rafe have to decide whether love is something they protect—or something they finally stop hiding.

Because mending isn’t soft.

It’s messy. It’s public. It’s brave.

And sometimes, the only way forward is to risk everything for the person who’s always been your home.

BLURB:

One discovery put him in danger. One man changed everything.

Dawson St. Claire has built a life defined by quiet order, cataloging rare flora, keeping his distance, and finding clarity in patterns most people never notice. The world beyond his coastal estate has never asked anything of him he couldn’t avoid. Until the day he discovers something impossible. A rare orchid, long believed extinct, hidden deep within a dangerous sea cave only he can reach. What should have been a triumph becomes a threat when word spreads, drawing the attention of a corporation willing to take whatever it wants. Suddenly, Dawson isn’t just protecting a discovery. He’s protecting himself.

Xaiden Merchand doesn’t ask questions. He’s brought in to secure the situation, contain the risk, and keep the St. Claire heir under control. But nothing about Dawson fits the profile he’s used to handling. The man moves through the world with a quiet intensity that unsettles him, sees details others miss, and resists every attempt at control without raising his voice. As the danger closes in and their isolation turns into a fragile alliance, the boundaries between them begin to shift. Dawson knows the terrain. Xaiden knows how to survive. Together, they become something neither of them expected. Something built on trust, pressure, and a connection that refuses to stay contained. When the threat finally reaches them, survival will demand more than skill. It will demand a choice neither of them can take back.

BLURB:

One of them is hiding billions. The other is hiding bruises. But on the summit, it’s hard to hide for long.

The Boss

Christian T. Devereaux is tired of being seen as a bank account instead of a man. When his family buys a Montana ski resort, he’s happy to be the boots on the ground and take a break from his fast-paced New York City lifestyle. Only, instead of arriving in a suit, spouting orders, he arrives as “Talon,” a seasonal worker looking for a fresh start. He wants a true picture of his investment—but he never expected the most valuable thing on the mountain to be the host with the haunted eyes.

The Host

For twenty-two-year-old Zeke, every day is a performance. He’s the smiling face of the resort’s top restaurant, but behind the scenes, he’s just trying to survive. Trapped in a toxic relationship and living paycheck to paycheck, Zeke doesn’t have room for a distraction—especially not a sexy, kind-hearted newcomer who treats him like he matters.

The Risk

Talon has the power to fix all of Zeke’s problems with a single wire transfer. But Zeke doesn’t want charity, and he definitely doesn’t want pity. He wants to be seen for who he is, not what he lacks. As the Montana winter grows colder and darker, the tension between them reaches a breaking point, and it’s a race to see whose truth will be revealed first.

How do you save someone who refuses to be a victim? And how can Zeke trust a man who’s done nothing but lie since the day they met?

BLURB:

A pro hockey player. A small-town mechanic. And a secret that won’t stay quiet for long.

Leo Vargas is used to being watched. Packed arenas. Post-game interviews. Fans chanting his name from the stands. Hockey has made him confident enough to go after what he wants—until what he wants is Dawson Mercer.

Quiet. Guarded. Completely out of place in Leo’s loud, public world.

Dawson has spent years building a careful life in Port Haven: work at the garage, beers at the Penalty Box, and keeping his head down so the town has nothing to talk about. Then Leo walks into his life and looks at him like hiding was never an option.

What starts as late-night conversations and stolen moments turns into the first time Dawson has ever let himself want a man out loud. Being with Leo feels easy. Hiding it doesn’t.

Lingering touches turn into desperate kisses, secret nights, and the kind of want Dawson thought he’d buried for good—until keeping things private starts feeling impossible.

But Leo plays in front of thousands, and one photo could cost him the career he’s built. Dawson isn’t sure he can survive being seen by even one more person than he already is.

Now Leo has to decide how much he’s willing to risk for a man still waiting for the other skate to drop. And Dawson has to decide whether falling for Leo is worth risking the quiet life he’s spent years protecting.

Falling in love was never in the lesson plan.

Oliver Turner has always known exactly who he is—an easy-going P.E. teacher, a football coach, and straight. At least…he thought he was.

But when the new maths teacher, Huxley Sinclair, arrives at his prestigious private Christian school, Oliver feels an odd pull towards the man. Huxley is smart, awkwardly cute, openly gay—and unlike anyone Oliver has ever been attracted to before.

For Huxley, attraction isn’t the problem. Trust is. He’s been someone’s dirty secret once before, and he has no interest in being Oliver’s big gay experiment.

But between shared lunches, lingering conversations, and the puppy love that blooms between Oliver’s greyhound, Cazaly, and Huxley’s dramatic little Louis, the connection between them becomes impossible to ignore.

As friendship begins to turn into something more, Oliver is forced to question everything he thought he knew about himself. And Huxley must decide if it’s worth risking his heart once again.

Because falling in love is complicated. Falling in love at a school where Pride isn’t exactly welcome…well, that might be the hardest lesson of all!

Two men who aren’t quite sure what they want but know what they need.

SAGE:

My past daddies have been honest about their non-exclusivity. I gave it a try, but deep inside me it hurts. My dream is: I want a daddy all to myself. I’m young; I’ve got plenty of time. I don’t need to find a daddy right away. I can still go to the kink clubs and happily watch my friends from the sidelines. But it doesn’t seem like the right place to find what I’m looking for.

Until…

He walks in. A tremble rushes over my body. I don’t even know if he’s a daddy but who cares? I can’t breathe.

PRESTON:

I allow my old college buddy to drag me to the club because I have nothing else to do on a warm Friday night. It was fun years ago when I was young and wild, but now I want more than hookups and the clubs are not the places to find that.

Lots of leather. Lots of tattoos. Big rooms nicely set up for public whippings, spankings and sex. It’s more crowded than I remember. I’ve come here straight from work. Am I the only one in a suit?

At thirty-five, my libido stirs a bit less at random g-strings with the full package, or harnessed muscles so big most flexibility is lost. It’s all nice, of course, but I long for something else. I just don’t know what that is yet.

Maybe I’ll know when I see it.

They call it The Den—where alphas and omegas give in to our baser instincts, stripping away etiquette and inhibitions in a haze of raw heat, slick, and sweat. It’s a place where masks provide anonymity, and we can unleash our primal urges.

I show up on a whim, drawn by the boring monotony of my life. I need something, someone, to make me feel alive again, if only for a little while.

The moment I catch a whiff of him, I’m a goner. He smells like the best dessert—sweet, intoxicating, and irresistible. Every piece of me aches to hunt him, to chase him, to claim him. To discover if he tastes as good as he smells.

But some omegas don’t want to be claimed. Especially when the one I chose, the one who smells like crème brûlée and mine, turns out to be my supervisor at work.

I know I should walk away. That he doesn’t want an alpha. But he makes me feel alive like nothing else ever has. And surrendering to our instincts feels like the only mistake worth making.

Levi Mercer escaped one nightmare only to wake up in another. The sanitarium was supposed to be the end—freedom from Virtual Vice’s twisted game, but dying over and over again is no longer the worst part of being trapped in a digital hellscape.

The worst part is watching his former killer pretend they’re not trapped at all.

To Asher, every nightmare scenario is home as long as they’re together. Every death is just another day in paradise. The outside world? A fever dream. Freedom? A myth. Reality? Whatever keeps Levi by his side.

But paradise has rules, and Asher enforces them with increasing brutality. No escape attempts. No talk of the “real world.” No questioning their perfect digital love story. Break the rules, and Asher will hurt anyone—including Levi—as a reminder that some cages are built to protect what’s inside from what’s outside.

Each scenario brings new horrors, but the real monster isn’t the alien creature hunting them on a spaceship or the shadows in the fog of a mountain retreat. It’s the man who loves Levi so much he’d rather break him than lose him.

The games are getting harder. The stakes are getting higher. And Levi needs to convince the man who learned to love him in hell that paradise isn’t worth staying damned.

One rookie reaper. One reckless daredevil. Zero chance of this going by the book.

Fresh out of training, Greg has high hopes for his very first solo job as a reaper. That is, until his target—a BASE-jumping adrenaline junkie named Dustin—survives a fatal accident, dusts himself off, and walks away with an infuriating smile.

Convinced it’s a cosmic clerical error, Greg takes matters into his own hands. Soon he’s tampering with gear, cutting parachute cords, and maybe (but not technically) trying to murder a man who treats Greg’s polite requests to “please die already” as some kind of joke.

At first, Dustin figures the anxious guy with the clipboard is just an overeager fan with dark humor. Odd, but cute.

Then he realizes no one else can see him.

Then he catches him walking through a wall—right after sabotaging his parachute.

Unhinged cosplayer or Death himself, Dustin doesn’t care.

No one touches his parachute.

If Greg wants to interfere with his life, Dustin’s more than happy to return the favor. Not only is he going to survive, he’s going to save everyone else on Greg’s list.

After all, if Greg wanted an easy target, he shouldn’t have picked someone who flirts with death for a living.
