Welcome to Rut, where your pleasure is our business.

Gorgeous, chiseled alpha dancers. Specialty drinks on demand prepared by flirty bartenders. Omega-only member hours.

Veronica has cracked the code for omega-focused entertainment. A bar where omegas like her can let loose without worrying about creepy, predatory alphas.

But Rut is more than just sizzle and sleaze: there’s something else going on beneath all the body oil and glitter. Something IRS agent Brenden Hall is getting dangerously close to uncovering during the bar's audit.

Unfortunately for her, the unassuming agent is starting to smell like temptation, just like two of her also-off-limits employees. There's Anthony, her bratty tattooed bartender with a smile full of sinful promise, and Jamie, the lovesick himbo alpha dancer who tempts her one dance at a time.

Vee can’t allow herself to give in to an indulgence that could cost her the bar. There's also the matter of that stubborn dominant streak that makes her a less-than-ideal example of her designation. What pack would want an omega with Domme tendencies, anyway?

While Vee worries about getting Rut through the tax audit, the boys worry if they'll be able to survive her stubbornness. Can these four wildcards come together and admit their deepest desires, or will they all keep dancing around it forever?

Rut Bar is a low stakes, high feels, ultra steamy MMFM omegaverse romance. There are no shifters or werewolves in this novel. A content guide is included in the beginning for readers with sensitivities. This book features multiple love interests and a heroine who won't be choosing. If you enjoy long heat scenes, a career-focused omega with switchy Domme tendencies, a soft Dom IRS agent who audits the bar, a himbo alpha dancer, a feral tattooed beta bartender, shibari, public fun, and 4 adults handling their business with minimal angst and no 3rd act break-up then this book is for you. While Rut Bar takes place after the events in Heat Clinic, the Heatverse books are standalones and can be read in any order.

A Queer Retelling of Satan's Fall

In an eternal paradise, the most beautiful angel, Lucifer, struggles with shame, identity, and timidity, with little more than the desire to worship his creator.

It isn't until the strongest angel, Michael, comes into his life that Lucifer learns to love himself. Along the way, their friendship begins to bloom into something else. Maybe the first romance in the history of everything.

But this God is a jealous one, and maybe paradise is not paradise.

When Heather moved out to the woods, she never expected she’d fall in love with Mothman—much less get married to him.

Bachelorette parties are supposed to be fun, right? That is, until her night of fun in the faerie realm ends with Heather getting pulled through a portal—kidnapped by an impossible vampire king who swears to make her his bride. Determined not to be a damsel, Heather hatches her escape plan using her greatest weapons: her charm and her cell phone. But with a vampire determined to make her his bride, she may be in over her head.

After years alone, Moth can’t believe that soon he’ll be married to his flame. But with Heather missing and his memories of Eclipsica foggy, his world is shaken. The cryptid will not only need to sheath his claws and work with his friends to find his bride, but he will have to contend with something even more challenging: his future mother-in-law.

Like a moth to a flame, Moth and Heather will always find each other… but will it be in time for the wedding?

Once upon a time, a hunter broke a vampire’s heart…

As the trials for Sangui City's throne reach their climax, Red finds herself at the centre of a millennia-old prophecy. As the newly awakened dhampir, she holds the power to reshape the future – or destroy it.

Octavia Beaumont, driven by her quest for acceptance, must confront the painful truths of her past to secure her place as ruler.

But as ancient secrets unravel, she discovers that the greatest threat may come from those she trusted most.

To claim victory, they must:

Unmask a villain hiding in plain sight
Decide if love can overcome betrayal
Make sacrifices that will echo through generations

As the boundary thins and magic surges back into the city, Red and Octavia stand at a crossroads. Their choices will determine not just their own fates, but the destiny of Sangui City itself.

In a tale where blood is power and trust is currency, can a hunter and a vampire forge a future from the ashes of the past? Or will the weight of history crush their love forever?

This gripping conclusion features political intrigue, enemies to lovers, supernatural battles, chosen one prophecy, found family and two women fighting for their right to love and lead. With themes of redemption, identity, and the true meaning of family, it delivers one hell of an end to an epic romance saga.

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.

Ivy Booker

I’ve lived in Boston my entire life. I like it here, it’s quiet and lowkey. My world is all sugary Starbucks drinks, watching reruns of Friends, and playing cards with Pops on Sundays. One thing I don’t love? Football.

Despite my family being football royalty, I swore off the sport a long time ago. I am much happier without it. Or I thought I was. Everything changed when a guy walked into my bar one summer's night.

Scott Harvey

Football is my everything. Coming to Boston wasn’t my number one choice but I’m chasing a ring and signing with the Broncos was my best chance. It’s a one year deal with a penthouse apartment. Easy. After all, I am the highest paid starting QB in the league.

I just want to play football and get out of this town. I didn’t count on getting a glimpse of my dream girl working at a sports bar. She hates football though.

Lucky for me, she has no idea who I am …

Play The Last Card is a standalone sports & contemporary romance. It is Olivia Fenwick's debut novel.

Once upon a time, a boy became so lost in love that he lost himself…

Asher Kim recklessly stole and then dismantled my heart. Left me with nothing but shattered dreams, Folklore lyrics, and cat collecting. Now he’s back, just as lovely, and grumpy as ever. But so are the walls he’d built between us.
Would this time be different?
Should I let him back in?
Could the cats ever accept him? Will I ever find my…

Happily ever after?

Poetry, chapbook, 28 pages, from Bottlecap Features.

In Monsoons, history becomes a girl. Two sisters fall in love during a war at sea: their incessant arguing rewrites the very history of lyric poetry into one tongue-tied love song. Here we do things our way: we macerate Milton’s form and let Eliot’s meter bleed out, we lace the epic verse of Gilgamesh and H.D with indie rock songs like Car Seat Headrest and Caroline Polachek.

Monsoons is excerpted from Homily, a longform epic poem that recalls Anne Carson’s Autobiography of Red, Alice Notley’s Descent of Alette, and the book-length projects of Tommy Pico. Like the fleeting radio you’d overhear from a fast car, the pulsing fragments of Monsoons rewind and erase the history of war and girlhood.

Prose, chapbook, 36 pages, illustrated, from Bottlecap Press.

Katabasis is one heart’s erratic journey through the past to gain clarity and closure for the future. It is the descent into the darkness in order to find the light. This story tirelessly wades through the muddy waters of heartbreak, presses on the bruises of confusion, and pulls out the splinters left behind by great loss. It explores intimacy and rejection, new attempts and new failures, and the ever-changing and unpredictable direction of life.

One page we’re dancing in the kitchen with a lover while making breakfast, and the next we’re staring out the window while the garbage truck drives away with their belongings.

Prose, chapbook, 40 pages, from Bottlecap Features.

“All I have left…” begins the narrator of the title story in Figs, Lukas Tallent’s second collection of flash fiction, where characters are enthralled, trapped, dislodged, and sometimes, redeemed by their incessant want for another.

"Figs is hot and aching. Every story is pulled taut, thrumming with tension: sexual or otherwise. Its characters reach for physical reminders of their desires: discarded still warm t-shirts, lip stained coffee mugs, streaks of body wash clinging to shower walls. They’ve lost something, are hungry, even desperate, to claw it back. By the end of this collection, like them, you’ll want more.

I couldn’t tell you when I fell in love with Gael Herrera, but I wish I knew how to make it stop.

Falling in love with a straight man is a rookie mistake. But falling in love with my soon-to-be-married-to-a-woman best friend is nothing but heartache.

Through all the years, and all the men I’ve fooled around with, he’s always been at the back of my mind. An unrequited crush I wish I could shake. A dream that was never going to come true.

When I whisk him off to a surprise bachelor party weekend in Vegas, I surrender to the idea that this is an opportunity for me to finally let go of my feelings for him and say goodbye.

But after a heated exchange and an even hotter kiss, everything I thought I knew about our friendship changed.

Maybe I had it wrong. Maybe, after all this time, we were more than best friends. Maybe, just maybe, he felt it too.

I see you, Roman. You want to fight me, and then you want to be so good for me.

We’re lost boys, wild and forgotten. Born into a world of poverty and crime, my two best friends and I have nothing to rely on except each other. But I have a plan: if I can film viral BDSM porn, I might rake in enough cash to get us out of this trailer park before we become another gang violence statistic. Kink is a rich man’s game—high-end clubs, dungeons full of toys—but maybe two dirt-poor boys with homemade gear can still compete.

First, I need a sub. I’m looking for someone perfect and obedient—until the new boy moves into town. He’s huge and silent and skittish, broken down by pain and loneliness. But when he’s cornered, he fights like an animal. An animal who desperately wants to be tamed. When I look into his eyes, the flash of submission I see there has me obsessed. When he kneels for me, both our broken worlds become whole.

Nobody believes that trailer park boys deserve a better life, that we can find happiness and build our own family. But we’re fighters, and together the four of us will find a way to be free.

An intense, emotional story about, resilience and trauma, kink, hurt/comfort, a smaller dom/larger sub, and found family. Contains some dark and difficult subject matter, please look inside the front of the book for a content advisory.

A foster kid.
A sister.

Everything between us was unexpected. Our attraction to one another, the secrets I shared, and the cracked pieces of her I so badly wanted to put back together.

We broke.

"Triumphantly Black, queer and contemporary... The dialogue snaps and shimmers." --New York Times Book Review on D'Vaughn and Kris Plan a Wedding

Music producer on the rise Cyn Tha Starr knows what she likes, from her sickening beats in the studio to the flirty femmes she fools around with. Her ever-rotating roster has never been a problem until her latest fling clashes with Jucee, her best friend and the most popular dancer at strip club Sanity.

It makes Cyn see Jucee in a different light. One with far fewer boundaries and a lot more kissing.

Juleesa Jones makes great money dancing the early shift and spends most evenings with her son, her Sanity family or at Cyn's house. Relationships are not high on the priority list--until she's forced to admit that maybe friendship isn't the only thing she wants from her bestie.

But hooking up with your ride-or-die is risky. Jucee isn't just Cyn's best friend--Jucee is her muse. When Cyn lays down her tracks, it's Jucee she imagines in the club throwing it back to every note. If they aren't careful, this could crash and burn...but isn't real love worth it?

ATLAS

Working undercover at a strip club is not my usual kind of job. If it weren’t a great opportunity to show the Mike Bravo team I can run my own op, I wouldn’t have agreed to it.

When my boss asks me to befriend the biggest gossip in the establishment, the person who knows everything, I’m even more reluctant. Because that happens to be one of the dancers. The only dancer to catch my attention in all the wrong ways.

I need to be professional or I will never prove I’m leadership material.

Only problem is, the guy with the stage name Lemon makes me want to be anything but professional.

LEMON

I’m sick of the new bartender throwing dirty looks my way. He’s as judgmental as he is hot, and let’s just say he’s really judgmental.

I don’t know why he’s working here if he looks down on us dancers so much. He could bartend at a regular club.

But when he saves me from a drunken customer getting too handsy, his attitude suddenly flips, and we find ourselves becoming … friends?

Underneath the judgment, it turns out Atlas is a total sweetheart.

Maybe more caring than anyone I’ve ever met.

I’ve never had a relationship before, but something tells me it could be way too easy to fall for the gentle giant.

What happened on Halloween night so very long ago?

Now that The Halloween Boys have found their mate, forces beyond their control threaten to tear apart what they’ve each worked so hard to build. A wolf in sheep's clothing, a devil in disguise. But as the air turns crisp, ushering in a fall breeze, one thing is clear:

Halloween has come to Ash Grove again at last.

Blythe is thrust into hell and confronted head on with the mysteries of who she is and what she wants. The guys must battle the underworld of lore and the hell of their own making in their quest to retrieve her.

And he’s not changing his mind. There are debts to be paid and mysteries ready to be solved.

Yes, my friends, Halloween has come to Ash Grove again, the pumpkins are lit, and Hallows Fest begins anew.

Who’s afraid of the big bad wolf?

Continue the journey with the international bestselling series The Halloween Boys. Wolf is a little red riding hood reimagining packed with occult legend, lore, and spice.

WOLF

My sights set on her the moment she drove into town.

From the moment her darling aroma invaded my senses, Blythe was mine. I’d watched her silently, I’d allowed Ghost his time, I’d supported Onyx through his turmoil. All the while the sleeping alpha raged inside me, wanting to make her his in every way. But how could I let him out when he was so at odds with her sweet, gentle giant, Wolfgang Jack?

My alpha was wild, untamed, and so… so hungry.

When my community is in shambles and Fenrir pack needs me to rise up to the challenge, can I do that while reconciling the beast within?

Little Red Riding Hood is walking through my forest now.
And she won’t escape me this time.

Blythe

Running, always running.

Afraid of the darkness that haunts me, fleeing my past, always at the mercy of whatever grabs me in the night. The Halloween Boys had given me safety, security, and more love and passion than I’d ever imagined.

But now Wolf needs me and it’s time to learn how to be his luna. The women of Fenrir lead their pack with strength and grace. They don’t cower, they hunt.

If I run now, it’ll be because I want to. If I run now, it’ll be because I want to be caught.

And now I’m ready for his claws and teeth.

Onyx

I knew that my first betrayal should be swift and long-earned.

Ghost underestimated me. Judas likely didn't think of me at all. Wolf pitied me. To them, I was a peculiar jokester, a shameless flirt, and a restless musician. Brothers and lovers often trivialized the gifts of their counterparts.

Oh, he'd never do that to me. He's a good guy.

Always wrong.

I'd been biding my time. My initial foray back into the world of monsters, released from my small-town prison cell, would have to be big. They'd have to never see it coming for it to work. And they didn't.

Then there was Blythe. This darling little creature of death that came sulking into a diner with no money and only fear so strong it took my breath away.

I couldn't ignore her, I couldn't get her out of my head . . . and I couldn't forget that she was mine.

Blythe

I was running again.

Except for this time instead of running from my past, I was running from home, running from myself. Maybe I'd find something on this journey that would help me know what to do. The Story Keeper's ship had a navigator . . . I found myself wishing I had one, too.

It didn't help my confusion that something about Onyx was screaming at me for attention. I was attracted to him, it would be impossible not to be. There were witches claiming we were all mated, The Halloween Boys and me. I couldn't help the pull of Onyx's emerald stare, or the way my heart beat faster just wondering what he'd say next.

Onyx Hart was sharp and charming . . . though there was something else. There was something else under his so carefully crafted surface that I'd yet to uncover. And I really wanted to uncover it.

But how could I slay part vampire and part dragon without getting bitten and burnt to a crisp?

“Dear God, pardon my French, but please don’t let me fuck this up!”

Melanie Black is cursed – just ask her crazy superstitious mother.

Her tennis career is teetering on the brink of fabulousness, but she can’t seem to make it past a quarter-final. She’s also desperate to break her yearlong sex-drought; a problem because the only men she sees with any regularity are her hard-arse coach Steve, and his infuriating (but hot as Hell) son, Joel. Oh, and her best friend Brad, but he doesn’t really count.

But Mel’s luck is about to change, as she finally breaks her quarter-final curse, and gets an invite for sexy-times with tennis superstar and renowned playboy Pete Levine. Things seems to be looking up, until a sudden, horrific event turns everything upside down.

Desperate times call for desperate measures, and she and Joel decide to work together to try and deal with the fallout and pick up the pieces of Mel’s career, even as their teasing, antagonistic relationship begins to feel the strain of constant proximity…

…Mel’s tennis career may be getting back on track, but as other parts of their lives spin out of control, things between the two are bound to become explosive – one way or another.
