Fate is a fickle creature, is he not?

Sunday
My name is Sunday Mourning. Yes, you heard that correctly. And no, I don’t want to talk about it. I don’t want to talk about the fact I’m having a dry spell, or that I’m about to lose my job because I told a kid to screw off. And I definitely don’t want to talk about the fact that my impromptu nosebleeds have just proven the existence of the occult.

Bellamy
After my marriage rots apart, I take a leap of faith and pursue a job at a museum in Salem. It feels like a lifeline, the perfect opportunity for a fresh start. That is until I stumble upon their resident taxidermist, a ghost from my past I’d thought I’d never see again. But when Sunday gets himself into a spot of my particular brand of trouble and realizes that I was never joking when I said I could see dead people, it seems like our tattered past might stitch itself together again.

A breakup followed by a blackout.

After his boyfriend dumped him and a night of terror, Theo left England without looking back. He tries to ignore the nightmares that have plagued him for twelve years, pushing everything down, pretending he’s okay. All he wants is a quiet life in his little village on the Isle of Skye.

But then the last person he would have expected turns up to his cousin’s wedding. Bailey is suddenly back in his life, acting as though he doesn’t remember the night that left a permanent scar on Theo.

~

Theo is not the same boy Bailey fell in love with. He’s full of anger and resentment that seems to have come from nowhere. However much he tries, Bailey can’t remember the night Theo ran away. Now that they’re stuck in close proximity for a month, Bailey pushes Theo to tell him what happened. But when Theo finally fills in the gaps, Bailey’s whole world shatters.

They were always going to break the rules.

Noah didn’t really think things through when he agreed to be his brother’s best man. Now he’s stuck in a tiny village on an island in the Scottish Highlands, surrounded by family and strangers, with no way to escape. Within the first week he’s feeling like lightning ready to strike at the slightest provocation. And yet somehow, a man he hasn’t seen in nine years manages to calm the storm within.

Noah was eighteen the last time he saw Robbie. He can still remember his infatuation with the twenty-three-year-old Scotsman, and seeing him again after all these years threatens to bring all those feelings back. But Robbie isn’t what Noah needs, and he’s definitely not what he wants.

~

Robbie is in a world of trouble. His best friend’s little brother has just crash-landed back into his life, taken all Robbie’s rules about not getting attached, crushed them to pieces, and handed them back to him as if to say, We’re doing things my way now.

And Robbie is going to let him—even if breaking his rules means breaking his heart.

I'd Kiss You in the Rain is a Best Friend's Brother MM romance that ends in a cliff hanger. This is a prequel to Book 2 Don't Make My Mistakes. As with all my books this short story contains scenes that may be distressing for some. Please read the content warnings. This story also contains a lot of spoilers for The Face of My Killer as the timelines run parallel.

The Big Cat Hockey League is thrilled to announce tonight's unlikely face-off! Playing to win is the Nashville Nasher's star forward, snow leopard Wilder Rowe, and none other than the fierce, retired Lion defenseman-turned-coach Embry Dean. Everything is on the line as the two figure out if love and life is more than just a puck...

Wilder Rowe
A month's suspension from the league sucks, but assisting the hot alpha coach that I spent my teenage years crushing on doesn't sound like much of a punishment, does it?
Except, for reasons I can't understand, the dude seems to hate me. Nothing I do is right. I’m pretty sure I can’t even breathe correctly around him, and oh boy, if looks could kill...
But you don't get to be one of the best players in the BCHL as an omega by quitting at the first hurdle, and I'm determined to make Embry Dean like me if it's the last thing I do.

Embry Dean
Why do Wilder Rowe's suspension terms feel like I’m the one being punished?
I had Wilder figured out the moment I laid eyes on him as a cocky 18 year old in the Big Kitten League.
Playing the class clown matters more than applying himself, and as someone whose career got cut short due to injury, it’s infuriating to watch him take it all for granted.
The fact he’s the best smelling omega I’ve ever scented—meaningless. And the accidental kiss we share is just a trip of mouths. When he breaks into my house to take care of me? Trespassing and not endearing at all… because there’s no way I could possibly have been wrong about the aggravating snow leopard, right?

Welcome to Foxwood Hollow. In a world of fox shifters sits a small, quaint town where everyone knows your business. Often stifling, always safe, and forever a place to call home.

Book One: A Denmate for Dylan

Dylan
Axel is the love of my life; he just doesn’t know it yet.
Ten out of ten do not recommend spending your formative years pining after an alpha who’s your brother’s best friend. But alas, here we are.
My only solution is to leave Foxwood Hollow and start afresh. So what do I do when I have no choice but to return home, only to realise all of those years and miles haven’t doused the flame?

Axel
He’s your best friend’s little brother. He’s your best friend’s little brother.
It was a mantra I’d repeated to myself for years, ever since my brain had shifted from omega smells good to omega smells like mine.
I’m happy for Dylan when he leaves Foxwood Hollow to chase his dreams. I always knew he was destined for a life larger than this little town can offer him. But I feel his absence like a gaping chasm, and the silence that follows has my alpha instincts going into overdrive.
When Dylan finally comes home, a lot has changed. But the soul-deep longing is as present as ever.
Can I really let him slip through my fingers again?

Book two: A Daddy for Cooper

Cooper
I was done hiding. Okay, I was working towards being done hiding.
For the first time in my life, I’d accepted who I was.
An alpha who liked other alphas, and a submissive one at that.
But then, I never expected the Daddy Dom of my dreams to be the guy who I’d been a tiny bit obsessed with ever since he’d returned to Foxwood Hollow.
Patrick Morgan was an enigma. A firm Dom with a gentle hand, yet walls so high they were impossible to scale.
But boy did I want to try…

Patrick
Cooper Bailey was a temptation I needed to stay away from.
My ex left me with more issues than Vogue, but mine were strictly of the trust variety, and a soft-hearted sub like Cooper didn’t need my baggage weighing him down.
And yet, everything about him called to me. Submissive to his core, desperate for guidance, and without a doubt one of the most beautiful people I’d ever met. Wanting him was dangerous. Having him? Out of the question… Right?
Cooper needed a version of me I thought had been buried in my past, but if anyone could squeeze through a crack in my walls, it might just be my little fox.

Is stalking just a one sided meet cute?

Ash Conrad throws his meticulously curated life plans out the window to attend an Ivy League. In a country he’s never been to, against family tradition, all in the hope of gaining entrance to an ancient and exclusive secret society.

The Legacy of Power isn’t just an elite secret society, it’s where the heirs of the criminal underworld play. Admittance would guarantee Ash access to the type of people who might help him save his brother.
But first he has to get through Rurik Locke.

Son of the world’s most notorious assassins, Rurik’s family founded Legacy. He’s a ruthless, violent enigma of a golden retriever—who’s not above a little stalking—and is utterly obsessed.

Ash needs his help, but Rurik’s chaos threatens every aspect of the careful structure he’s built to survive.

They’re about to find out the skeletons in their closets are a lot more intertwined than they realize, and Ash will have to let Rurik in to save them both.

Finding out the guy I hooked up with is on my team isn’t the way I saw my first week of coaching going.

My name is Anthony Hawke, and I used to be a rising star in the NHL until someone purposefully tore my ACL, ending my career. I went from the top of my life to nothing in a matter of months.

I take a coaching job a thousand miles away as a fresh start, only to ruin it before I start.

Three months ago, I met him in a bar. Sexy and funny and built like a God—no names, just the best night of my life.

I never thought I’d see him again, but jokes on me, he’s a freshman on my team. Not only is he an insufferable playboy, but his father is the one who ruined my career.

I can’t lose this coaching job by sleeping with a player, but he won’t let it go. And if his father finds out, forget working anywhere in hockey again.

A fist fight shouldn’t be flirting. 

I’m so close to the NHL draft and the dream I’ve worked towards my entire life and he’s made it his mission to ruin it all.

Ktytor is the super star enforcer for our biggest rivals the Massachusetts Monsters.

He has a counter for every move I make like he’s inside my head.

He’s cocky, infuriating, and knows just how to get under my skin.

His torments finally push me over the edge so when he suggests we finish our on-ice fight outside after the game, I gladly accept.

What I didn’t expect was our trading blows to end in us making out.

I’ve never even considered being with a guy before and now I have to pretend to hate him while sneaking around and navigating our public rivalry.

We’re at each other’s throats and it only makes him hotter.

He's not into men so fake dating my best friend shouldn't be this hot.

When my best friend offers to come as my date to my sister’s wedding to get back at my sister for breaking his heart, I agree thinking it will be hilarious. What I didn’t consider was that I’ve been in love with him half my life, and all the consequences of us fake dating. 

My family demands I bring my new boyfriend to her shower first, and things only go downhill from there. My sister is marrying the goalie from our rival team who immediately is up in arms about us dating. 

Fair, but I don’t have time to dwell on it as things quickly get weird with my best friend. Wolfe is straight, it shouldn’t be weird right? It’s fake after all. But I’m so wrong.  He kisses me like I’ve never been kissed before, and then we both realize we have to keep this up for months until the wedding. 

Between the unexpected tension, hockey, and the secrets we are keeping. I don’t know how we’re going to get through the season.

The complete Pretty Broken series by J.R. Gray

Emory Ker

Who makes out with a random guy at a club while someone else is giving him head? Not me—that's who. I'd never even hooked up with a stranger. Welp, now I had. If you could call what I'd done hooking up. But it was so much more intimate than a hook-up. I'd tasted his lips as someone else made him come. He'd gasped into my mouth.

Now I'm sitting in front of him, and he's asking me to kiss him again.

River Wade

We became famous overnight. One day, I was a twenty-four-year-old drummer slinging pizzas to make ends meet, and the next, I was a member of the most popular alternative band ever.

Despite being world-famous, there was no connection in it. I'd lost touch with reality, with intimacy. I couldn't find a place to be normal. I'd lived my entire life straight-edged while watching obsession destroy my best friend.

Obsession terrified me—that is until I met him.

The first taste left me intoxicated. The rockstar obsessed with the writer—rather funny if you think about it. After a night with him, he vanishes into thin air, and all the money in the world can't help me find him.

I have to track him down and convince him there might be millions of people who would do anything to get a chance to sleep with me, but I only had eyes for him.

Convince this beautiful boy I'm pretty obsessed.

Pretty Obsessed is an out-for-you romance with a dirty-talking, obsessive rockstar who falls for a cinnamon roll writer. This is book one in The Pretty Broken series. All books follow a different couple.

Saint Vincent

I might be the best-selling solo artist in the world, but my personal life is a disaster. For every number one album, there's a sea of my worsts, all documented in photos.

Bad break-ups. Destroyed hotel rooms. Fights. Drugs. And just as many rumors.

Every headline reaffirms the walls I’ve built around myself. Fame destroys everything it touches and I can’t let anyone close.

The only exception is my best friend— Lowe Wilder.

But I’ve fucked that one up too.

It’s all about him. Every song, every lyric. Every piece of music I’ve ever written. I planned to carry that secret to my grave. He’s straight.

Another break-up, another call to Lowe. I can’t bear to have another scandal splashed across the tabloids. At my absolute worst he’s here to pick up the pieces, and I ruined it all with a kiss.

Lowe Wilder

I’m the least famous member of the most famous band in the world. I’ve sat in the background while we toured the world and tore each other apart.

I wouldn’t have made it through any of this without Saint. He came into my life like a nuclear bomb. Unapologetic and with about as much destruction, but he’s kept me sane from across the world.

Nothing could come between us.

Until he kissed me and shattered my world.

Pretty Toxic can be read on its own or enjoyed part of the Pretty Broken Series.

The pretty boy. The loner. Old Hollywood.

I had all kinds of names as the least known member

of the most famous band in the world.

Behind all the hype and masks, I'm just a Pretty Wreck.

No one knows the disaster I am,

my secrets hidden behind style and a smile.

I've been running for as long as I can remember,

but I can't get away from the gilded cage of fame.

I don't know how much longer I'll be able to keep it together.

I'm forced to go back on tour to play the summer concert circuit,

and so is the guy I've avoided for two years.

Ten years older than me, he's the bassist for the hottest punk band.

He beds a different girl every night,

but while the rest of the world slept, he'd crawl into my bed.

He's the only person who has ever felt safe,

but he's straight, so I ran from him, too.

Now I have to face him and it's all unraveling.

I'm afraid I'll be the first to break,

bringing our fame crashing down.

Kingsley Cole

My words have gotten me in trouble for as long as I can remember.

They got me suspended from eighth grade

and banned from online forums,

but they also made us famous beyond our wildest dreams.

Poetry and scorn.

My deepest thoughts, raw and exposed for the fans to consume.

They spawned rumors and ruin, and they’re about to do worse.

He hasn’t spoken to me in years.

But our secret keeps bleeding into my songs.

My next album is a ticking time bomb and when it hits,

it will be the end of us.

What will be left but a pretty wreck?

Caspian Locke

I don’t think we even begin to understand love until we’ve lost the one we thought we’d spend the rest of our life with.

I don’t think we begin to understand ourselves until we realize that it’s most likely our fault.

And I don’t think we begin to understand life until we understand it comes in so many shades of gray.

You can be a good person and still do irrevocable harm.

Life is messy, so fucking messy.

I hate it.

Or maybe I hate myself.

I thought for a long time I hated him.

But I can’t hate Iris.

No matter how much he hurts, I still carry this little fucking wish in the depths of my soul that one day he’ll forgive me and admit he still loves me.

Part of life is living with the burden of what I’ve done and waiting for a day that will never come.

This is that life.

And we all come out Pretty F*cked.

Iris Black

There are moments in music when the crowd becomes part of the song and we all lose ourselves to the energy. I wanted to drown myself in the music. It became my escape and my savior.

I thought success was what I wanted, but it only intensified my misery. Fame is a monster, and it ate me alive. I tried it all to get out of my head: sex, drugs, and rock and roll. I’m living the dream, but it only numbs the pain.

Caspian came into my life like a storm, and I knew he’d leave the same way.

We were two vessels made to fit. Chemistry woven in creation.

There’s no escape, there’s no surrender.

His Pretty Black forever.

But he broke me and I don’t know how to forgive him.

Is it foolish to do it all again?

To find our way back to the place it all began.

I’ve mourned his leaving so many times, I don’t have it in me to do it again.

The day his human partner died was the day Haleth Maerenthros became a monster hunter.

Nearly three centuries later, Haleth is apathetic, loveless, and haunted by the memories of his long dead partner. For years, his sole purpose has been destroying vampires, but even that is beginning to lose its appeal as Haleth wishes more and more to fade into nothingness.

When the master of the Monster Hunter Guild himself assigns Haleth a job he can’t turn down, he journeys to the far north hunting for a vampire that could threaten the safety of every mortal in Karrador. Only, when Haleth finally reaches his mark, he finds himself staring into the reddened eyes of his long dead partner. Grappling with his morals pitted against a deep well of love as their spark reignites, Haleth must decide where his loyalties lie, and if loving on borrowed time is worth facing the Monster Hunter Guild's deadly retribution.
