Dark

ilence. Restraint. Disgrace.

After two weeks in the attic of Danann House, Saffron anticipates the moment he can finally be reunited with Prince Cylvan--but that day is unexpectedly marred by a visit from Headmistress Elluin, who doesn't believe Saffron was the one to perform magic in Beantighe Village in the attempt to save Berry. Saffron will be expected to prove it; if he can't, every other human he loves will be arrested and executed for arid practice and conspiracy.

While slowly crushed beneath oppressive walls, rules, and oversight, Saffron must find glimmers of opportunity between hunts in the woods, maintaining the house he's tied to, desperation to be close to Cylvan, and uncovering any arid resource he can get his hands on. But as horrible truths surrounding Lord Taran come to light, Saffron struggles to find hope beneath the weight of his burdens.

However, Saffron knows secrets are kept for a reason. The more he uncovers, the more he understands. Whether it be Taran mac Delbaith or the cruel history of Morrígan Academy, perhaps exhuming centuries of buried blood is exactly what he needs to protect the people he loves most.

Former billionaire playboy-turned-philanthropist, Julian Fowler, is struggling with the upcoming anniversary of his parents’ murder, the most brutal massacre in the city’s history…with Julian as the sole survivor. Three years later, the killings have started up again with a new list of targets.

Mysterious psychopath, John Smith, has admired Julian from afar and offers him an opportunity to unmask the so-called vigilante devouring the rich. But John’s real goal is mayhem. He would gladly burn the city to ashes if it awakens the monster inside Julian.

The pair are drawn into a precarious game of chaos as they unravel each other’s pasts. John leaves a trail of bodies across the city, carving love letters in corpses for Julian to follow. Julian finds himself spiraling down the twisted path John has laid out, unable to decide if he wants to kiss or kill the maniac.

A sizzling MM dark romance with wicked humor, delicious banter, and the perfect amount of flirting while fighting. This is for the readers who like morally grey men that lean into their absolutely chaotic side.

“Maybe in our next life, things will be different? It can be you and me. Maybe we’ll finally fit. Soulmates, right? So maybe…”


Clay

I’ve been on a hundred jobs, but I’ve never met a person like Jayce Holden. He’s everything I shouldn’t want, wrapped in a protective package that seems hellbent on making sure I’m safe from his family. Making sure I’m his.

I'm not sure what I want... not when my mission is to kill his father, and Jayce is the only person who knows where to find him.


Jayce

I’ve had a dream of the same man my entire life. Sometimes, he’s soft and sweet — sometimes, he’s trying to kill me.

Sometimes he does.

When Clay walks into my life and I recognize him immediately, I know I’ll do whatever it takes to keep him, whatever it takes to make him mine… even if it means defying my family and putting everything on the line.

How many times will we kill each other? How many times can we fall in love?


Seth

I always thought my world would begin and end with Jayce Walker. When a sleep study offers us life-changing money, we jump at the opportunity. There’s only one I don’t have insomnia. Bluffing my way in is easy, but getting there and losing everything that’s ever mattered is a nightmare I can’t escape.

Jayce is gone. My only ally is a voice in my head named Clay, who insists the body walking around — the one I’ve known and loved my entire life — belongs to a man named Kade, and he only wants one thing.

To kill me.

Kade

Most people don’t get second chances, but I did. Brought back to life by a power-hungry company, I have one thought: I want revenge.

But... the man I’m chasing isn’t Clay. His name is Seth, and all my years of being a heartless, psychopathic killer never prepared me for the way his wide eyes make me feel. I don’t know how to deal with the emotions still knocking around in my chest that used to belong to someone named Jayce.

They make me question things. They make me wonder if my agenda has changed…

I want to make Seth mine.

What’s that saying? What goes around, comes around? You torch my house, I demolish yours?

Kohen Osman is a pyromaniac who keeps trying to steal my gig—which is… well, stealing. The difference is, he has sticky fingers because he’s a spoiled brat who thinks he’s better than the family of junkies that live down the block.

I thought life at reform school would be better with neither Kohen or my family anywhere in sight. But my freedom from them was short and not sweet. There’s only so much a person can take before they turn into dust.

One day, he’ll burn for everything he’s done. They all will.

And I’ll be the one who lights the match.

They kept her hidden from me for fourteen years. Now, she sits in my club, my personal playground, clueless of the repercussions her father placed on her life.
Ava Pierce doesn’t know her world is about to implode and I’ll take pleasure in being the one to destroy her.

In a world strictly divided by social class, I’d grown accustomed to my position.

It was luck that took me from a poor farm boy to a servant in the castle, tending one of the Lord’s many Omegas.

Trust me, there are far worse positions than serving a lady in the harem.

As quickly as I came to this position, though, it was taken.

One moment of getting a little too close to the omega I served was enough to land me a prisoner in the dungeons with the others the Lord took favor from.

Kept in cages, tortured or worse for the Lord’s pleasure, we’re seen as little more than animals.

But I’ve had enough. I refuse to spend the rest of my life in this filth, doomed to the hands of a Lord not worthy of his station.

My escape isn’t going to end in me running to hide.

No…I’m taking my place among the alphas, and the little omega that landed me in this dungeon— she’s going to be mine too.

I was not always this way—a man feeding his demons with addictions, a monster driven by bloodlust. I had a family once, but I chose one above all others to protect from the animals we lived with, and even then, I failed.

Whispers on the street say I’m psychotic, but everyone knows I’m a calculated killer.

Then there’s Lacey. The one woman who keeps my demons at bay. She became my new addiction the moment she walked into my life. With threats from my past returning, I need to stop the same fate from happening to her.

I will not fail to protect what is important to me yet again.

We had one shot to get out of the Sinister Minister’s grasp, and we took it. Hand in hand, Kansas and I fled in the middle of the night, with a promise that we’d never tell a soul about what happened at that house, and how Constantine died.

Eisley has spent the last decade looking over her shoulder while trying to forget the horrors The Minister and ‘The Family’ inflicted upon her and others. However, something continues to call to her. In the deepest roots of her psyche, she can’t escape the nightmares of her time trapped in the cult.

All of her fears come to a head when she finds a letter taped to her door, informing her that a documentary is being made about The Minister and the events that took place ten years ago. When she politely declines, she can’t help but wonder why they didn’t fight her more to talk.

It isn’t until she turns on the TV that she sees that they didn’t need her to talk because they had someone else to captivate their audience. They found Constantine.

He’s alive.

He remembers that we left him.

Will her demons overtake her?

Or will her masked men save her?

Ash Grove is a fine place to die.

Ames
I wanted to shake her and scream, "You don't have to be afraid anymore, you have me."
And then chain her to my bed and yell, "You should be very afraid now that you have me."
I inhabited a form that was what every legend and dark tale warned little girls like her about.
I'd slaughtered a thousand times over and I'd do so a thousand more.
But the worst thing I'd ever do... would be what I did to her.

Blythe
If kept running, I wouldn't break. If I kept hiding, I wouldn't cry.
If I kept moving he wouldn't find me.
Running from an impossible evil landed me between the claws of something ancient and horrifying. I went to the masquerade as a fox. How ironic, because I didn't feel clever, sly or brave. I was a wounded rabbit waiting for teeth.
And more than one set of fangs found me.
The worst part of all?
I liked it.

Avren has been left ashen after the disastrous events at the Midsummer Games, where Ryder Kyteler took far more than Daurae Asche through the veil. With seemingly little they can do but wait for the oracles to find a way through, Saffron’s apprehension grows as he’s soon plagued by nightmares of someone crying out for his help; someone who sounds too much like the missing daurae.

When a second tear through the veil is suddenly reported in the nearby town of Erelaine, Saffron is certain Ryder is behind it, and sees it as a chance to catch the man and use him to get through the veil to rescue those taken. But Erelaine isn’t the only place the veil is being manipulated, and soon a trail of ravaging damage fractures through Alfidel. Ryder is searching for something, and Saffron doesn’t know what would be worse—him finding whatever it is, or the consequences of his devastation to the veil in the process.

Not only is Saffron determined to capture Ryder, he fears what could be so important that has Ryder taking so many risks. But catching up to him is easier said than done while traveling under the watchful eye of his royal entourage, with the pervasive nightmares keeping him awake at night, the growing tensions between himself and Cylvan, and being forced to navigate delicate political expectations as Alfidel’s future Harmonious King. Throughout it all, Saffron uncovers that the chaos brewing in Alfidel, even Ryder Kyteler himself, may be sown from seeds planted centuries prior.

I’ve been naughty… Like, run a car over your abusive ex kind of naughty. But it’s not the police coming to punish me. It’s the Krampus.

It’s the best time of the year in the mountain village I call home, known for its Krampus lore and festive enthusiasm during the holidays.

From the outside looking in, my life is perfect. I live in a winter wonderland, I’m engaged to the town’s beloved “honied ham man” and I run the town’s most precious flower shop.

No one would ever know my fiancé is an abusive psychopath who’s threatened to kill me if I ever try to leave him. It’s a secret I’ve always kept hidden, my burden to bear.

The only person who sees right through the mask I wear is my Christmas tree vendor. He follows me, watches me. He thinks he’s keeping me safe. Too bad my fiancé gets the wrong idea and flies into a jealous rage. This time, I fight back.

Now, I’ve done something bad. To escape justice, I flee to a mountain cabin to drown myself in a bottle of eggnog and spend Christmas alone.

Only I’m not alone. Turns out, the legends are true.

The Krampus is real. And he’s come to punish me for murdering my fiancé.

Snag three amazing titles from MN Bennet with bonus swag and signed bookplates. 

Book 1: Bound By Butchery

Former billionaire playboy-turned-philanthropist, Julian Fowler, is struggling with the upcoming anniversary of his parents’ murder, the most brutal massacre in the city’s history…with Julian as the sole survivor. Three years later, the killings have started up again with a new list of targets.

Mysterious psychopath, John Smith, has admired Julian from afar and offers him an opportunity to unmask the so-called vigilante devouring the rich. But John’s real goal is mayhem. He would gladly burn the city to ashes if it awakens the monster inside Julian.

Julian finds himself spiraling down the twisted path John has laid out, unable to decide if he wants to kiss or kill the maniac.

Book 2: Bend him, break him

Colton has always walked the line of golden boy meets bad boy. It helped catapult his popularity as the starting pitcher in his first year of college and during the scandalous exposé when he came out as bi. But Colton struggles with the accolades he receives, balancing who he is versus who he was versus who he’s expected to be. Because before Colton was a queer icon for star athletes, he was a closeted bully who made one guy’s life completely miserable.

Isaac hates Colton. But to be fair, Isaac hates everyone—maintaining an icy distance from even his closest friends. Mostly, Isaac wants to shove Colton off the pedestal he’s been placed upon. Just because he came out publicly doesn’t mean he’s some sort of hero. It doesn’t help that Isaac once fawned over the closeted jock in high school. He cared deeply for Colton and did everything he could to please the star athlete, even keeping their private rendezvous a secret. Which meant Isaac paid the price of utter humiliation, taunting, and bullying as the weirdo loner gay guy with a creepy crush.

When Isaac catches Colton cheating on an exam, he plans to ruin his enemy by destroying his academic standing and costing Colton his baseball scholarship. Isaac wants nothing more than to see Colton kicked out of campus. But when the jock offers to do anything to keep this a secret, Isaac decides to test the lengths Colton is willing to go to make things right between them. Isaac’s over secrets, but this is an opportunity unlike any other. He presents an ultimatum that’ll push Colton to the edge of his limits. In this sordid hate-fueled lust, all Isaac wants is revenge and all Colton wants is redemption.

Book 3: Politics and Poly

Rus doesn’t think there’s anything wrong with punching bigots. Some call it anger issues or impulse control; he sees it as clearing away the cesspool of hateful idiots. All the same, he doesn’t want his rage to control him or push away the two people he’s beginning to care deeply for.

Dylan’s façade of joy is so masterful, he even deceives himself most days. Underneath that worn smile, though, is a frightened man who doesn’t trust the world. Now, he has to navigate taking care of the queer youth home that gave him a life worth living while exploring the life he’d like to live if he wants to pursue romance in this new relationship.

Kaiden struggles to accept himself, wayward and insecure most days. So, when two men express how much they see him, he feels like a complete and total imposter. He’s convinced himself this awkward throuple would be a much happier couple if he took a step back. But despite his reservations, he doesn’t want to give up.

These three will have to come together, work through their personal fears, and be real with one another if they hope to explore this romance.

But it can’t be ignored.

THERE'S NO WAY OUT OF THE MAZE.

There's no way out of the maze, there is no way out of the maze. No way out of the maze. No way out.

A teacher.

A student.

A scarecrow.

Hey,
Over here.
No, look up.
Yeah, I’m the one they talk about. The headmaster’s prized possession, locked away in the bell tower of NotreDame Parochial College. To most of the students I was just a myth.
An urban legend.
The girl who rings the bells up in the tower, the one who talks to gargoyles.

Frollo’s secret

Then they showed up, those heartless heathens. Outcasts, just like me. But these men aren’t just dangerous, they’re heartless. They won’t abide or bend to the rules of this deranged school and the secrets it keeps from the world.

But now that they’ve found me, they may never let me go.
And maybe I wouldn’t want them to…

Deep in the Empyrean forest… Nothing stays hidden.

We are The Principality, and our community is special. Some of us joined, some were born into it. But regardless of how we got here, we all serve him.

Our Head Priest is a wise and fearless leader. All-knowing, the secrets of our land are spoken to him through the air. We follow him willingly, worshipping the Earth as intended. While his brother lurks in the shadows...

But who is this King I can’t stop watching, so captivating and beautiful? And who is the man with the snake eyes?

I must know more about them both…

I must peek beneath the cover.

Unearthing the truth brings me between a King and a Serpent, and the lust we share isn’t the only unexpected gift. What is a young servant to do but follow his path?

I will seek answers in the woods of the mountain...

Where existence is not what it seems.

“Maybe in our next life, things will be different? It can be you and me. Maybe we’ll finally fit. Soulmates, right? So maybe…”
