A girl sold to pay her father’s debt.

After the results of an honor duel, Garret leaves his clan to escape his guilt only to face the cruelty of humans in the mountain city of Frostcliff. He finds unexpected employment as security for the city’s high-end brothel, and the even more unexpected company of Bridgette, the brothel’s resident star.

Magic is a rare gift that only exists in the bloodlines of the rich and royal, and yet the unlikely pair find the spark between them even as the humans of Frostcliff attempt to snuff it out.

Starshine is a novella set in the Sex Wizards universe. It follows the story of Bridgette and Garret before they discovered their magic and came to the Crux. It can be read standalone but is best enjoyed after book two of the Sex Wizards series.

There’s something off with my new stepbrother…something monstrous.

When my mom up and marries a man she doesn’t know, she uproots us from our home in upstate New York to live in the tiny, backwoods town of Bishop, buried deep in the New Jersey Pine Barrens.

There’s something terribly wrong with this place.

But it’s not the creepy townsfolk that frighten me, or even my new stepdad—who definitely runs some kind of cult.

The real monster is Titus Leeds…my new stepbrother.

There’s a part of him that wants me to leave this place, to protect me. But there’s a darker side of him that wants me to stay.

A creature lurks in the forest, and it hungers for my soul. Maybe the only way to keep my soul safe is to let Titus Leeds claim it first.

“Make no fucking mistake, little lamb. I’m not saving you. Either the Elder One eats you…or I do.”

With Titus’s father dead, we were supposed to leave the Pine Barrens and never look back. But with a cult hunting us through the woods and an ancient evil slowly rising from its slumber…

We’re damned.

Cult rituals, creepy forest spirits and late-night chases through the graveyard are nothing when I have the most dangerous monster in the woods for a stepbrother.

Either way, Titus and I are bound for Hell, so we might as well have some fun on the fall down…

Just how many students are going to fall victim to the sleeping curse?

The prophecy continues to move forward, dragging more and more students into an unending sleep. Mara tries to navigate her new relationships, balancing fate with her need to learn more about the world she finds herself thrust into.

Walking the path the stars do tread is proving difficult for all. Jealousy and lust exist side by side, and some still struggle with admitting how they feel.

Stirrings of Spring is the second of four novels in the Wyldthorn Academy series.

Sometimes one night is all it takes...

A year and a half of therapy has barely put a dent in the guilt Amanda McGregor still feels over her ex boyfriend. And she hasn’t even mentioned to her therapist how much she dislikes her body.

So when her flatmate Alison comes up with a plan to help Amanda get over her guilt - a plan that involves alcohol and flirting…and maybe a little pool sharking…Amanda goes along for the ride…

…Levi Fox has finally extricated himself from a toxic relationship, and he just wants to focus on his next goal - qualifying for the Australian Olympic Rowing Team. He’s not looking for a rebound hookup, and he’s definitely not looking for love when he heads out to his local pool bar for a few drinks with his mates…

Sparks fly when the pair meet, and things between the two escalate quickly. But life has a way of throwing a spanner in the works.

Levi faces a bombshell that explodes right in Amanda’s face, flinging the pair headfirst into a situationship with an expiry date that neither of them want to discuss. And with Levi’s ex stirring up trouble, dredging up Amanda’s past and present pain, is the mind blowing chemistry these two share enough for them to build something worth fighting for?

Rubem has become the voice of the auroras—or their rage, at least.

Between his threats and Tavish’s diplomacy, they’ve convinced most of the world that the auroras can be saved through the return of their ignits. But pockets of denial and refusal linger, including in the Findlay’s old trading partner, a city who has completely ignored Tavish’s attempts at contact. With a cat on their back and apprehension in their step, Rubem and Tavish set out to confront them directly.

They arrive to a metropolis of watery channels and balconies on the verge of collapse, the once glorious city now overwhelmed the sea monsters that snap at their front doors. Only their dying aurora’s song keeps the dangerous creatures at bay, but with apocalyptic prophecies running wild and the government split into stubborn factions, Rubem quickly realizes that someone wants the city destroyed. Whoever they are, they’re willing to destroy its aurora protector to do it. And Rubem is the only person standing in their way.

But amidst the chaos, the Findlay’s past involvement with the city comes to light in ways Rubem never expected—and Tavish wants nothing to do with—adding grudges, broken hearts, and freckle-faced pre-teens on Rubem’s list of problems. As those intent on destroying the city and its aurora grow more threatening, Rubem seems always one step behind and never quite strong enough.

And he’s growing weaker by the day…

A speculative queer love story wrapped in memories that won’t stay buried.

Mackenzie’s last boyfriend cheated on him. And for reasons unknown, he didn’t see it coming, even with his ability to see the relationship timeline with every new person he meets - friends, acquaintances, and lovers included.

Usually, these clips of the future, nicknamed Brain Cinema, play out like a movie in his head, only lasting a few seconds most of the time. But that’s not the case when he meets flight attendant Jasper on a plane to Central Australia from the East Coast.

After seeing his relationship timeline with Jasper, Mackenzie realizes he’s received much more than anticipated on this holiday so far. In the vision, he sees them falling in love and living happy years together, but also Jasper dying in his arms around ten years later. This dredges up Mackenzie’s past, and he feels as if history is repeating itself. So he avoids Jasper at all costs in an attempt to save him.

How much can Mackenzie really control his love and life, though, and at what point must he surrender to what’s meant for him, all the while knowing that his time with Jasper is limited?

Grace has a job she loves, a community she adores, and plenty of friends . . . but her lack of bedroom action has left this event planner too horny to think.

When one ill-advised night at the bar leads to her giving an exhibitionistic show to an unknown presence outside her bedroom window, she thinks she’s hit a new low. When her voyeur turns out to be a nebbishly charming mothman, Grace needs to decide if she can trust her body — and her heart — with this garnet-eyed stranger before he flys out of her life for good.

Sweet Berries is a monster/human romance featuring high heat and a lot of heart, with a guaranteed HEA. It is the second book in the Cambric Creek Steamy Sweet Monster Romance series.

A light-hearted sapphic rom-com with witty banter and all round good feels.

Samantha Garner dreams of sailing away. If only her family business didn’t have her completely anchored down. A conversation has her plotting new paths that may just get her out to sea, if she can avoid hurting the people she loves most.

Taylor Scott knows what she wants. To build up her maintenance business, forget about her ex, and to not—definitely not—get into another relationship. Discovering a new boat shop by accident lands her a client she didn’t expect and can’t take her eyes off.

As their friendship grows, a games night leads to a spark they can’t ignore. While Sam questions everything she knows, Taylor must decide whether to keep her heart safe… or dive into the unknown.

Will they find common ground and sail off into the sunset, or will their relationship sink to the bottom before it even begins?

Swept Up In You is a fun and spicy coastal romance that will have you laughing, crying and craving puppy cuddles. Perfect for fans of Ashley Herring Blake and low angst romance, who love a splash of emotional growth with their happily ever after.

What says I Love Books more than some bookish pins? Probably books, but these are a great compliment to show your Bookish Pride!

Keller

Banging my son’s bestie was a total accident that will never, ever happen again. I’m sure of it.

While he might be gorgeous and caught me in a weak moment, when it comes right down to it, my son has been my entire life for the last twenty-six years. I don’t know how to be anything other than his dad.

But with Molly heading off to Seattle, he leaves me with a parting gift: Will.

His best friend.

And my new roommate.

Still, I’m determined to focus on my plan of finding someone to settle down with and to start living for me.

Then Molly hits me with another gift: he’s asked Will to help find me the perfect partner.

Will

Molly leaving me to run away across the country made one thing very obvious. I crave stability. I crave a life where I get to control what happens to me, without the constant threat of having to move home to my homophobic family.

All I need to focus on is work and making enough money for the downpayment on my own place.

Except now I’m living in the spare bedroom of the man I’ve been in love with for years.

The same bedroom where we had one very messy, very quick, accidental frot sesh.

Now I’m cooking for him every night, and we’re working out together every morning. It’s all feeling very domestic and my heart can’t separate reality from the fantasies in my head.

I know I’m going to get hurt.

It’s only a matter of time.

But when it comes to Keller, it’s impossible for me to walk away.

Revenge is imperative ... Resisting each other is impossible ...

Seven has spent her life inside the gray, windowless walls of Taiga. She’s been taught to hate Purebloods with a fiery passion, but she’s learned to hate her captors all on her own. She dreams of revenge, of painting the walls with their blood.

When she finds herself outside unexpectedly, rolled out in a cage like a circus freakshow, things go sideways fast … but the voice in Seven’s head whispers one word: Mine …

A few weeks later, back inside Taiga, the whisper repeats it. And the new hybrid it’s directed at seems very chummy with the head of Operation Stranger …

***

Jack wants the monster inside him gone. He never asked for this, he resents what he is becoming.

When Agent Baxter offers him a bargain: complete some small tasks, and the Operation will suppress Jack’s monster so he can return to his old life, he jumps at the opportunity.

But then his monster starts roaring Mine on repeat … and he can’t stop thinking about the tawny-skinned hybrid the monster is obsessing over.

Jack knows where that sort of attraction heads when you’re a Stranger—even a half-breed one. And it’s something he wants to avoid at all costs.

But when Jack and Seven are forced to face their connection, under the most horrific circumstances, they’re left with only two options.

Escape … or revenge …

There’s only one way they can have both—but can they work together, without succumbing to the call of their blood

High school librarian and language tutor, Jase Kitson, agrees to add a new client to his already packed schedule as a favor to his best friend who works for a South Korean entertainment company. Unaware his student, Nikko, is a member of one of the world’s biggest k-pop groups, Jase finds himself increasingly attracted to the beautiful, charming– and somewhat mysterious– man on the other side of the screen.

Three wrongs can’t make a right.

I’ve spent six years building a life that isn’t defined by my father’s sins—a beautiful girlfriend, a thriving nonprofit, safe dreams that won’t get me into trouble. Someone with my family’s reputation can’t step out of line without drawing attention, and they definitely can’t coach professional swimmers.

My carefully controlled world starts to unravel on my summer vacation, when a mysterious boy catches my eye. He’s intoxicating, beautiful, and an incredible swimmer. His body makes me question everything about my sexuality, and his talent makes me desperate to become his coach. Too bad the only lawyer who will help me navigate the PR nightmare of opening a coaching program happens to be a rude, self-absorbed, sexy-as-sin older man who doesn’t even like me. I shouldn’t want either of them, but my mixed up heart wants both.

When one explosive moment in an empty locker room ties all three of us together, we start down a path we can’t turn back from, even as my past threatens to destroy my future. We weren’t supposed to be more than a single night’s mistake. I can’t do anything to threaten my life’s work. But I’m not sure I can live without them, either.

Breaking free from the past has a cost for all three of us, but I don’t know if we can afford to pay it.

The books in Water, Air, Earth, Fire series take place in the same universe and have recurring characters, but each book is a standalone that can be read separately or in any order!

I have the best job in the universe—I treat omegas in heat. I’ve been doing it for seventeen years and can safely say that I’m immune to that inconvenient sickness called love.
I’m the great Walter Sébastien, the preeminent heat teacher with an internationally famous magic dick and the self-control of a martial-arts monk. I’m a sex god with a heart of stone, an invincible pleasure master, your can-go-all-night-long fantasy lover, the emperor of orgasms... He Who Would Never Fall Again.

Then one day, a nerdy little single dad with trembling fingers and inconspicuous glasses smiles at me, and I’m screwed. I’m not supposed to go down like this. I’ve never even kissed a client, let alone fallen for one.

Except Daniel Chevalier isn’t like any other client.

She swam away from her problems, but now her problems can swim too.

Elena could never have predicted that taking a break from her hectic Olympic career would see her kidnapped and held captive in an underwater coral castle. Even less so, when she wakes up inside a giant clam, gifted with the ability to breathe underwater by a himbo merman who can't keep his lips to himself.

Triton has lived a lonely existence for over a thousand years. Abandoned by his family long ago, and his only companion the Bottlenose dolphin who raised him, Triton is overjoyed to discover his fated mate. Only… she wants to find her way back home, and he is desperate to convince her to stay.

Elena is faced with a life-altering decision: figure out how to get home, or stay in Aeolia with the merman who has stolen her heart.

Tempting Triton is a story about second chances, finding love where you least expect it, and new beginnings. Join Elena and Triton as they navigate consent, a malfunctioning barrier, and a burning hot desire that neither of them seems able to control.

Poetry, chapbook, 28 pages.

The Angels Have Always Been Black is a metamorphosis of Black girlhood, queer sexuality, God, and family. Through a mix of traditional forms, as well as her own style of verse, the angels will take you up, then down, then up again, weaving hope through all the memories, beloved and triggering, before resting once again on the shelves of Mommy’s freshly dusted mahogany shrunk. This narrative is matured into Black womanhood on these wings, journeying home, earth, riverlands, and sky. Granny braids your hair, a new lover breaks your heart, and Black women prevail. Aliyah Curry is a queer Southern bred writer, focusing on Black female sexuality and mental health.

It’s irritation at first sight when Lulu destroys Nick’s shoe, and his peace of mind, with a wicked stiletto. And that’s just for starters.

Lulu

Why does the sexiest man I've ever met in real life have to be so annoying?
Not that it matters. I'm not interested in a relationship, thank you very much.

Nick

She has some nerve, waltzing into my law firm thinking she can up-end my ordered existence with her arty ways.
Being gorgeous is no excuse. It's a shame my boxers didn't get the memo.

A no-strings relationship seems like the perfect solution for Nick and Lulu. But sometimes the universe has other ideas, and it's not long before they're both questioning their feelings. Yet neither is ready to risk their heart and upset the delicate balance of their arrangement.

When Nick decides to wait for the perfect time to tell Lulu he wants more, he unwittingly sets off a chain of events that prove disastrous. Can he convince her things are not as they seemed? And can Lulu overcome her fear of commitment so they can create the life they never knew they wanted?
