At first, no one takes them seriously. Then the first person dies exactly as the letter predicted.
When more letters begin appearing, Detective Ronan O’Mara and psychic Tennyson Grimm are called in to investigate. Ten senses that the letters aren’t just predicting deaths, but are connected to something that happened long ago, something that refuses to stay buried.
As the death toll rises, Ten and Ronan race to find whoever is sending the letters.
Because the next letter has already been delivered.
And this one has Ronan’s name on it.

Origin
Cameron wants to make it clear that he did not go into the festival to find a dragon mate.
Germany is supposed to be an escape. With a new mechanical engineering degree, a new job looming, and a whole life planned out that isn’t his, Germany seems like the best place to find himself.
So, how does he end up discovering his lost magic heritage, running from bad guys with a secret agenda, and being adopted by the not-so-extinct Fire Dragon clan?
Cameron blames tall, dark, and sexy Alric, King of the Fire Dragons. His fated mate. Because of course he is, and mates are meant to take the blame, right?
It may take a hot second, but as Cameron learns more about the scarred Alric and the life he’s landed in, Cameron realizes that perhaps this is where he’s meant to be, magic and mates and kidnapping and all.
Turns out coming to Germany wasn’t an escape but his awakening.
Breath
A Mage’s List for Freedom:
- Escape his evil, controlling clan.
- Get a job.
- Work magic on HIS terms.
- Avoid all dragons.
Tori was doing great until sexy dragon Baldewin interfered.
Between the little gifts, constant protection, and the steadfast confidence from the overgrown lizard, Tori wonders if maybe that last step needs revising. He has no chance to consider it.
Not before trouble called Jaeggi REALLY hits. Now he’s on the road trip from hell to the one place he’d never thought would be a safe haven. A clan of dragons.
Assuming they make it, that is.
Wish
North has a map of Europe, a dragon scale, and a little bit of magic.
He’s currently short a dragon, but all in good time, right? Right.
Because he can totally dodge dangerous men and frustrated calls from his family, all while searching for a dragon during the Christmas season.
He’s got this.
Christmas wishes do come true with a little magic, after all.

Charming Cliff Walker is cast as the next bachelor on a gay dating reality show. But when fellow residents and roommates Mikey and Aaron are cast as suitors, love and the final decision might not be his choice.

The Bachelor.
Cliff—Devastatingly attractive, wealthy and beloved for his kindness and altruism. He has everything except what he desires most—a romantic partner.
The Contestants.
Mikey—Shy, sweet and cuter than he realizes. He’s admired fellow White Pines resident, Cliff, from afar for months. Being cast would have been a dream come true were it not for the nightmarish mishaps that plague his every scene.
Aaron—Charismatic, mischievous, and too hot for the show’s producers to pass on, even after learning he’s straight. His mission—tricking Cliff into believing he’s attracted to him, despite his dating history and questionable bromance with roommate, Mikey.
Brighton—The sophisticated, handsome and charming bisexual UK supermodel. For the first time since divorcing his wife a decade earlier, Brighton believes there’s a chance at love—providing Cliff feels the same about a man seven years older and father of a teenage daughter.
Ted, Dani, Daryl, and Alex—A diverse, gorgeous group of men with a knack for dropping secrets and creating shenanigans—much to Cliff’s chagrin and the viewers’ delight.
Friends and Family.
The tight-knit White Pines residents show up in support of the town’s most famous man. Too bad for Cliff, their well-intentioned meddling and varying opinions cause more angst and pressure…as they await his choice.

It’s the perfect match.
The perfect alliance.
The perfect future.
Until my new footman starts reminding me there’s a difference between being loved by a nation… and being truly seen.
Noah
Serving the king is my job. Wanting him is my biggest mistake.
I’ve spent years standing just out of sight—straightening cuffs, opening doors, making sure the man carrying the crown never has to carry anything else.
He’s kind when no one is watching
Lonely in ways the world never sees.
But kings don’t fall in love with footmen.
They marry princes.
No matter what my heart wishes every time he looks at me.

The team’s new goalie is a secret prince. Red, white, and royal WTF?!
As the Prince of Ardenia, I don’t want for anything – except freedom.
Freedom from bodyguards and media scrutiny. Freedom to love who I want without bringing shame to the throne.
So when I get a chance to live incognito while on a trip to America, I take it. It’ll be my royal rumspringa. I can be Nick, not Prince Nicholas.
Then I meet a plumber named Hank.
I’m instantly attracted – my kink for big-gutted American guys who drink beer fully activated. I join his local hockey team as their backup goalie…and secretly hope Hank and I can get freaky off the ice, too.
Yet in between one-on-one practices, wild bar crawls, and lazy afternoons texting about Christmas movies, our easy camaraderie deepens into crackling chemistry. The only thing standing in our way is the tiny matter of my true identity.
I’m due back in Ardenia on Christmas Eve, but the thought of getting on the palace jet without Hank makes me royally blue.
I’m not sure if the king — or the entire world — will get on board with the prince and the plumber. Can I get the crown and the guy?
I’m hoping for a Christmas miracle here.

The only thing keeping me steady is the one person who’s always been there—my best friend.

BLURB:
Every high school has a bully who has gone unpunished.
Walking the halls of my high school after two decades reminds me why I’ve blocked those years from my memory. The walls hold secrets but perhaps none as potent as the woods behind the school where a life ended too soon.
I wasn’t able to make a difference then. But I’m not a frightened kid anymore. Bullies no longer scare me. It’s time to deliver long overdue consequences to those who have never been held accountable for their actions.
With my pack of wolf dogs and this blindingly bright fake boyfriend at my side, nothing can go wrong.

RELEASE DATE: 8/27/2026
BLURB:
“Would you rather be trapped in a cabin with your arch enemy, or not be allowed to shower for a hundred days?”
Problem number one: My arch enemy is the jackass reporter who keeps making up lies about me.
Problem number two: He’s also absurdly hot so the idea of being trapped in a cabin with him gives me ideas.
Problem number three: As much as he pisses me off, Aravind Gupta might actually be right about a few things: namely that my career in hockey is probably over.
A poorly timed check might have robbed me of being able to retire old and with nearly half of my original teeth, and Aravind was right there on the front lines to tell the world about it.
In a wild attempt to get away and figure out what comes next, I find him on my same ferry, heading out to a quiet island where I planned to do nothing but bed rot.
Aravind has other ideas though, and he makes those known before we’re even off the boat.
And while it’s not like me to want to sleep with a man I can’t stand, somehow, he’s turned into the only bright light in the dark shadows my terrible family casts.
I might not be used to believing in myself, but with Aravind’s quiet and gentle persistence, I’m starting to think that despite what I’ve always been taught, I deserve my happily ever after.

ISIDORO
I took the wrong vampire.
Julian Corvath wasn’t supposed to be part of my war, but now he’s my only leverage. The son of my greatest enemy. The key to finding a vampire who could destroy my claim to the throne.
Keeping him close is dangerous. Letting him go is not an option.
So I make a choice that binds us together in the worst possible way—one that should be nothing more than a strategy.
A marriage.
Julian is sharp-tongued, defiant, and far too tempting. Every moment at his side chips away at my control. Every glance lingers too long. But I have no choice when the truth about his father comes out and threatens to upturn a lot more than my own life.
Julian is a complication I can’t allow. A mistake I should have already corrected.
But I’m starting to want him anyway.
JULIAN
Getting kidnapped sucks.
Getting kidnapped by a dangerously powerful, morally gray vampire king? Worse.
Isidoro Altamirano thinks he’s in control. To him, I’m just a means to an end.
He’s so wrong.
If he wants my cooperation, he plays by my rules. And once he agrees, I hold him to it. But the longer we’re bound together—forced into trust and proximity—the harder it becomes to remember why I should hate him.
Because beneath the ruthless king is something else. Something real. Something dangerously easy to fall for. And when his attention turns possessive and I become the thing he refuses to lose, I should want out.
But I’m not sure I do anymore.

As head of the O’Shea family, I don’t make mistakes.
I certainly don’t become obsessed with a guy. Stalk him. And then proceed to kidnap him to a secluded cabin when an attempt on my life is made.
But that’s exactly what I did.
While my family hunts down the men who tried to kill me, Doctor Preston Abbott is trapped with me, and I expect him to nurse me back to health before paying the ultimate sacrifice. Abbott…who is also the governor’s son.
Each day my interest in him grows. He cares for me, shares parts of his life with me, willingly gives his body to me and begs for more…even though he knows he’ll die by my hand.
I never thought I would want someone again this way, that I would crave another person the way I do Abbott. He’s too good for the violence of my world, and all the sinful things I revel in. I’m a monster but he’s mine until the end.
Mine to crave…mine to touch…mine to kill…

Ash isn’t for me.
Just as well, because I don’t want him anyway.
Up until a few days ago, both those things were true. But there’s something about him that’s caught hold of my heart and refuses to let go. We aren’t soulbound like Morgan and Lynx. I shouldn’t find it this hard to stay away from him when I know nothing good can come from it.
Because Ash is human, skirting the edges of a world that would eat him up and spit out the leftovers. A world he has no idea exists.
He doesn’t know what we are, what his best friend has become.
And when he finds out the truth, he won’t feel the same about any of us.
Especially me.
All valid reasons for me to keep my distance, and yet here I am night after night, watching over him. Knowing it’s going to end badly.
But I need him to be safe.
And in the end, that’s all that matters.

RELEASE DATE: 8/27/2026
BLURB:
One year. Two ranches. A secret neither of them can outrun.
Chesney Jennings is the last person Jasper Smith ever expected to see back in Sweet Briar, Wyoming. So when Jasper’s grandfather dies and leaves half of Wind River Ranch to him and the other half to Chesney, heir to the family they’ve been feuding with for generations, he’s blindsided.
But the will comes with one non-negotiable condition:
To claim the inheritance, they must run the ranch together for one full year.
Jasper has spent his whole life holding Wind River together with grit, loyalty, and stubborn determination. The ranch is struggling, and his family is running out of options. The last thing he needs is help from a Jennings—especially one who disappeared years ago and left a hole in Jasper’s chest that never quite healed.
Chesney never planned to return to Sweet Briar. Not after spending years trying to outrun the town, the feud, and the devastating memories he left behind. But refusing the inheritance isn’t an option, and neither is avoiding the man who once meant more to him than anyone else.
Forced into long days, sleepless nights, and a partnership neither of them wants, the tension between Jasper and Chesney sparks fast—and burns hotter than either man is prepared for.
Secrets come out, lines blur, and somewhere between shared burdens and stolen moments, resentment turns into something far more tumultuous.
But in a town where everyone remembers everything—and families don’t forgive easily—loving each other might cost them more than the ranch.
It might cost them everything.

Archer thinks his demons are too much for anyone to love him, but I’ve lived in darkness all my life. Archer is the first light I’ve ever known.
Archer
I’m not looking for love when I go to a matchmaker to get married for my job. I can’t let anyone get that close to me, so I need something in name only. But when I learn my sweet, gentle personal chef is seeking a husband, I can’t imagine another man getting to touch him.
Kip is everything I could want in a partner, and he makes me feel like I’m more than the rest of the world sees me. But when my past tries to come between us, can I really expect him to stay?

BLURB:
I came out first. I started dating first. And somehow I’m still single.
My friends have a theory: I just haven’t hit the right trope yet. A blizzard. A fake boyfriend. A tutor I’m not supposed to want. A sworn enemy who’s secretly the love of my life. You know? The sort of stuff that landed every one of them their happily-ever-after.
So now there’s a corkboard in the frat house with my face pinned on it. There’s a points system that calculates my odds of true love to three decimal points. And there are four well-meaning maniacs treating me like a group project.
Every guy they pick is perfect on paper. Brilliant in a romance novel, but a slow death across a dinner table.
Enter Jesse, my childhood best friend, newly transferred to Elmwood U, and the one name nobody thought to pin to the board.
Jesse wants to help. And his roommate is the perfect guy to set me up with, as if those very words aren’t enough to make me want to scream.
But when Jesse’s roommate fails to show up, Jesse takes the empty seat so I won’t sit there alone. The only problem is, he’s nothing like the shy boy I’d hopelessly fallen for once before. He’s like a supernova in the night sky, burning bright and untouchable.
And I’m about to make the same mistake again.
My friends signed me up for a crash course in finding The One.
I never expected to crash straight into him.

Sullivan
They say I have a gift because music is as easy as breathing for me. The true gift, however, is the first breath of freedom I’ve had in years—college, bought and paid for by the man who holds my future in his greedy, roaming hands. The first weekend away from him is everything I ever dreamed college would be—a chance to live my own life, form true friendships, and then there’s Knight Winters. The incoming quarterback at our new school who grew up in my hometown is a surprise to me in every way. He makes me question everything. My sexuality, my future, and every mistake I’ve ever made.
Knight
Becoming the starting quarterback at this school is all part of a plan set in motion since I was old enough to hold a football. As the son of a football giant, playing in the NFL has always been the dream. Here at the University of Southern Missouri, I’m on my way to making it come true. The only thing I have to give up is who I am. I’ve known I was gay for as long as I can remember, but it’s the secret I have to keep to have the life I’ve always wanted.
Meeting Sullivan wasn’t part of the plan. From that first night, the attraction, the chemistry, the instant connection has been impossible to push aside and pretend none of it matters. He’s brilliant, he’s beautiful, and he has secrets, too, secrets that are on the verge of breaking him. My obsession ebbs and flows with the seasons here at school, but when we’re back in our hometown, I find myself with a choice I never thought I’d have to make: whether football can give me the life I want, or if it’s him.

For years, it worked, until Stockton’s streets stopped playing fair. When he witnesses something he was never meant to see, survival means facing an impossible choice: run or make a deal with the devil himself.

Dominic doesn’t just crave Knox’s compliance; he wants complete surrender.

When his family forced a breeding arrangement that cost another man his mate, his life, and any say in what came next, Soren was locked away to give birth in secret.
Alpha wolf Cassian has been alone on his mountain for three years, with a shattered bond and no intention of getting involved in anyone else’s problems.

Arius and Knox are childhood friends who share a love for outer space, but as they grow up into their respective roles as Omega and Alpha, it’s like there’s a galaxy between them. They have some barriers to break and challenges to overcome if they want the future they had always dreamed of as kids. If they don’t succeed, the world’s traditional ways might keep them apart.
Arius
I’ve studied the stars my whole life. All I want is to work at Comet XI, the world’s largest space program. But as an Omega, reaching for the stars is nothing short of fantastical. If I want to work, my only option is to become a cleaner or an assistant, not an astronomer. My childhood friend Knox is the one whose dreams are taken seriously because he’s an Alpha. He could easily have a job in astronomy someday, and hopefully I’ll be right behind him.

I don’t want to step foot inside Comet XI without Ari. None of my Alpha friends share a passion for outer space. He’s the only one who gets it, and he’s insanely intelligent. If only the rest of the world could see that. They’re always trying to take Arius away from me and make him focus on his societal role as an Omega. Letting go of my closest childhood friend leaves a void in my heart that follows me for years. I have no choice but to move on and accept my place at Comet XI without him.
