Sensitive Themes

In collaboration with Jordan of JuliettFoxReads fame, our inaugural Mystery Box includes three very special editions

We have worked very closely with three incredible artists for the covers and the additional merchandise for this box. Each box will come with three special edition paperbacks, and themed goodies.

Book 1: First book in series, but could be standalone. Contemporary, fast heat and slow romance. Is violence their love language? Maybe! Expect big mouths, dirty talk and enemies on ice and off, until they're not. 

Book 2: Standalone. Contemporary. Second chance romance, with plenty of angst along the way. What do you mean his ex is now his coach? Oh dear. 

Book 3: First book in series, but could be standalone. Contemporary Omegaverse. Alpha x Omega, but no one knows he's an Omega, so shush. Lots of caretaking, nesting and knotting. Friends into moreship. 

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.

"I am Don Alessandro: thirty-six, crinkled around the eyes, tall but soft in body. Who I am boils down to very little because I am meant to be a vessel of the lord, and long ago, I gave up any chance of knowing myself.
Which is why I want to ruin my life, you see.
I am older. I am jaded. And I no longer think God is merciful."

Alessandro senses his devotion to the monastery slipping away, haunted by regret over the years he believes he's squandered. Torn between duty and desire, he takes a daring step to confront his suppressed lust.

Seeking a solution, he summons a supernatural being to assist him. But can he withstand the shame of abandoning his position and his faith to satiate his long-neglected desires?

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 Notre Dame 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…

SEQUEL TO THE BEST SELLING PRINCE OF LUST

What had God’s love given you except shame? What had God ever done for you?

Alessandro has forsaken God entirely. Once a devoted priest, he now finds himself ensnared in the dark web of forbidden pleasures after summoning the Prince of Lust, Asmodeus. Despite indulging in every earthly desire, an insatiable void remains within him. With his faith shattered and his soul tainted, Alessandro can no longer stay within the holy confines of the church. Asmodeus has left him with a chilling command: open the gate to Hell.

Driven by a relentless hunger for the ecstasies Asmodeus revealed, Alessandro embarks on a perilous journey into the abyss. Determined to experience those heights of pleasure once more, he confronts the unimaginable horrors that lie in wait. But opening the gate to Hell is no simple feat, and the path is fraught with dangers that threaten to consume him entirely.

Will he achieve his hedonistic ambitions, or will he lose himself completely in the pursuit of desire?

One car. Two strangers. Thirteen hundred miles. What could go wrong?

When Ash rolls into town with a backpack full of cash and a bullet wound, the last thing he’s looking for is a connection. All he needs is a ride south, fast.

Enter Sam: a young man struggling with his identity, freshly dumped by the girlfriend he drove up the coast to visit. He doesn’t know a thing about the gorgeous stranger begging him for a ride back to Miami, but when Ash offers to cover all expenses, it's hard to say no.

What starts as convenience turns into late-night confessions, shared hotel beds, and feelings neither of them are prepared to name. As they rack up the miles, casual recklessness turns into something intimate and real.

But Ash is lying—about who he is, what he’s done and why. And when his secrets catch up with them both, it’ll put their fragile new connection to the test.

Months ago, Luca walked away from Noel. Now he’d do anything to get him back.

But making things right is impossible when the love of his life has blocked his number, moved apartments, and vanished from every corner of Luca’s life. Still, Luca can’t let go. He haunts the places they used to visit together, hoping for one more chance to face the boy he hurt so badly.

Noel isn’t doing well—but he’s trying. He’s going to therapy, keeping up with his new job, and learning how to survive on his own, no matter how badly it hurts. And the worst part? He’s still hopelessly in love with the man who crushed his heart.

When Noel agrees to take a heartbroken friend out for the night, the last thing he expects is for the evening to end in disaster. But at the club, Noel comes face-to-face not with Luca, but another ghost from his past.

And in a single moment, the fragile life he’s rebuilt begins to crack apart all over again.

SWALLOW is a heartfelt MM romance about fighting for happiness and finding solace in a second-chance. Featuring a very hard-won HEA, it is the second book in the Sugar Pill Duet and should be read after SUCKER LOVE.

True love is never transactional.

In the winter of 1994, twenty-nine-year-old Jamie Hollis is left reeling when he inherits a fortune in the wake of his estranged father's death. On the way home from the funeral, he spies a young hustler on a frozen street corner...and makes an impulsive decision.

Ben Greer is surviving one night at a time. At twenty-four, he’s bitter, burnt out, and barely scraping by on the streets of Providence. With no family to speak of and bearing the scars of liaisons gone wrong, he’s long since stopped believing in happy endings.

Their arrangement is supposed to be simple: Jamie wants exclusivity, and the money's too good for Ben to refuse. But as the weeks pass, what begins as transactional gives way to unexpected intimacy. Beyond Ben’s barbed defenses is someone Jamie is desperate to protect, and beneath Jamie’s isolation is the first person Ben’s trusted in years.

But when Jamie is dragged back into old family drama he once thought he escaped, Ben will have to decide what matters more to him: money...or love?

TO THE END is a class gap MM romance set against the nostalgic backdrop of the mid-90s. Serving as a prequel to WISH WE WERE HERE, TO THE END features a cast of familiar faces and a poignant HFN.

Heartbroken art student Noel Underwood isn’t looking for anything serious when he hits the club looking for a distraction. But a reckless encounter with Luca Karvelas—an older tattoo artist with nowhere else to go—quickly turns into an arrangement neither of them can walk away from.

Fresh off a separation from his wife, Luca has spent his life burying parts of himself he never wanted to face. Getting involved with a man nearly a decade younger is a bad idea; moving in together is even worse. But the fierce, prickly boy he’s made his roommate makes him feel comfortable in his own skin for the first time in years.

Noel has demons of his own. Beneath the sharp edges and a wildly self-destructive streak is a desperate and vulnerable need to be loved. With Luca, he feels whole in a way he never has before, and together, their chemistry is impossible to ignore.

But when the past comes crashing back into their lives and old patterns resurface, Luca is forced to make a choice—one that could cost him the only person who’s ever really seen him.

SUCKER LOVE is a soft D/s, hurt/comfort MM romance centering BPD representation and brimming with angst, drama, and messy desire. 

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.

Kimberly Burns— a self-sufficient, nineteen-year-old— expects her customary camping trip to be a calming escape from the non-stop demands of college life but the attack from a recently turned vampire changes everything.

Aaron Calem has been trying to resist the blood lust raging through his new body, but the unfamiliar voice in his head won’t let him pass up an easy meal. When he’s left with a girl barely clinging to life, he must choose between loyalty to his brothers or his own morality.

Aaron and Kimberly both want to return back to their normal lives, but their problems are just beginning when they both realize they go to the same university.

When Kimberly is bitten a second time, by an unknown attacker, they must team up to navigate the vampire world together and find the assailant. Soon, they discover that the mysterious past Aaron’s brothers are hiding may hold the key to secrets that could tear apart their own pasts and destroy their future.

S.L. Cokeley’s debut novel, This Blood that Binds Us, is the first in a series that explores the true meaning of family, making peace with the past, and finding friendships in unexpected places.

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.

"Equal parts steamy romp and sharp reflection on faith and identity—I had a blast."
— Lucien Burr, author of the PRINCE OF LUST and TERAS THREAT series

"A beautifully written, heartfelt story of worship, acceptance, and resilience that I couldn’t put down! From their sizzling chemistry, to their fierce determination to stay together no matter the cost, Mina and Anubis' journey towards a well-deserved happily ever after was a true joy to experience."
— Eryn Hawk, author of YOU'RE NOT MY KING! and the VEILED CITY series

THE SECRET SHAPE OF WORSHIP is a mythic, high-heat story of love, lust, and irreverent worship.

Mina is giving God one last chance: to speak, to change him, to save him from the constant temptations that surround him in the form of the other boys in his seminary class. And what better place to confront both his God and his demons than a religious pilgrimage with his fellow students—a time focused on biblical study and solemn worship.

But the god he finds is not the one he expected. A brush with death brings Mina face to face with Anubis, the flail-wielding Egyptian god of the afterlife.

Drawn into a dangerous and seductive journey of raw desire and intoxicating revelation, Mina finds himself navigating a world where the lines between sin and salvation are increasingly blurred.

But as lust becomes something more, Mina draws the eye of the underworld and is forced to choose between the safety of his familiar faith and the jackal god he’s come to love. And in the end, it may cost his soul.

Exploring themes of self-discovery, salvation from the expectations of others, and the profound healing in loving ourselves, The Secret Shape of Worship is the first instalment of the planned, interconnected Ancient Awakening series.

For fans of Lily Mayne, Ben Alderson, and Lucien Burr

THE FOURTH INSTALMENT IN THE BEST SELLING PRINCE OF LUST SERIES

Freed from the chains of mortal shame, former priest Alessandro ascends through Hell’s ruthless hierarchy, shedding the last remnants of the institution that once bound him. With every trial, he reclaims the pieces of himself long buried beneath repression, transforming into a vessel of lust and guiltless power. As he approaches Asmodeus’ throne, Alessandro must prove that his liberation—and his devotion—are unshakable, even in the face of Hell’s darkest temptations.

The second-to-last in the series.

Teras ravage England. Only London is safe.

In an England where monsters have spilled into the world out of myth, only London is magically protected from the monstrous threat. The University runs the city, allowing family of graduate Hunters, Healers, Scholars, and Artificers to live behind the wards.

Cassius Jones is nineteen and ready for the University. But when a bad year for the teras threat is projected, the University opens its admissions to anyone in England, behind the wards or otherwise, and suddenly the Jones' place in London is no longer secure. Cassius must contend with every other student vying for a place, and the darkest secrets of his society, whilst also balancing a tenuous interest in another boy.

Burr's debut is the first book in a dark fantasy series that challenges the nature of academia and the integrity of morality.

"A girl worth fighting for..."

One-hundred and thirty years ago, an alien race known as the Hunduns invaded Earth. The survivors of their brutal attack now live in space, aboard the Worldship Honour. Now their resources are nearly depleted, the Emperor has called a conscription draft for a final attack in hopes of retaking Earth.

Determined to save her father from having to fly in the Fenix army, Magnolia steals his flight suit, disguises herself as a man, and joins the armada to fight in the last desperate attempt to save the human race.

Now that Kimberly’s life is undeniably intertwined with Aaron’s, the future remains unclear. And with the pressures of college life and The Legion hovering over the brothers’ every move, she wonders if she’s bitten off more than she can chew. She wants to remain a part of Aaron’s life, but at what cost?

Meanwhile, Aaron is dealing with the consequences of his choice not to drink blood and the presence of his newfound protectors. Though he wants nothing but freedom for him and his brothers, he can’t imagine the thought of leaving Kimberly behind in Blackheart.

When The Family shows signs that they may be closer than the brothers realize and The Legion’s loyalty is tested , Aaron and Kimberly must forge their own path to freedom.

Will the Calem boys ever be free from The Family? Or will the world they’ve built and the bonds they’ve made go up in flames?

With more blood, banter, college adventures, and heart throbbing romance in the second installment of the This Blood that Binds Us series, things get a little darker and a whole lot hotter.

How do we know if it’s too late?

Dr. Ian Devonshire, the beloved veterinarian of Holly Grove, is sixty-eight with no plans to retire—until a skin exam ends with an unexpected biopsy. Ian tells no one, privately worrying about what a worst-case scenario would mean for his practice and, more importantly, his assistant, Dr. Alec Tarley.

Ian isn’t sure if Alec’s friendliness means what he hopes it does, though it wouldn’t matter if it did; Ian is old enough to be Alec’s father, and as his boss, Ian doesn’t want the small-town scandal of becoming involved. So even as Ian wonders what it might be like to have their afternoon tea somewhere other than behind closed doors, he convinces himself the risks far outweigh the gains.

Especially now, as the pending results strand him like Schrödinger's Cat. In an attempt to protect them both from the heartache of a malignant prognosis, Ian makes the abrupt decision to retire. But when Alec refuses to take over the clinic without an explanation for the sudden change of heart, Ian must decide between what’ll hurt more: revealing his secrets or walking away.

An Appreciation of Cats is a no spice, slow burn romance. Themes and tropes include age gap (+20), small town, co-workers, melanoma awareness, older persons rep (65+) and ace rep (demi). This is the first book in a duology but can be read as a standalone.

Nia da Silva is dead…

Dead serious about moving on from her past, from roller derby, and the traumatic injury that was a crushing blow to not just her body but her mind.

Running away from her problems wasn’t the fix she had hoped for.

Five years later, she returns to the town that left her with permanent scars. Healing her physical wounds was the bare minimum. She’ll finally have to face herself, and rediscover who she’s always been beneath the lies she’s worn like shredded fishnets over bruised knees.

Pretty crossovers, and strong thighs won’t be enough to champion through her problems. Especially when they challenge who she may be at her very core.

Fate is a fickle creature, is he not?

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.

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.
