Following their success in the trials, Cassius Jones and his companions secure coveted spots as students in London's prestigious University. But the University's promise of security falls short. Reeling from resource shortages, the University is no longer content with siloed expertise, demanding versatility if its students are to survive in a world plagued by catastrophe.
As hybrid terrors continue to rise and the landscape grows increasingly hostile, Cassius must remain adaptable, guarding against fear's corrosive grip. Juggling a fragile relationship with Leo Shaw, navigating the fracture of his friend group, and confronting the remnants of his own ruthlessness, Cassius faces his greatest challenge yet.
In the face of adversity, can Cassius harness his resilience to not only endure but thrive in a world on the brink of collapse?
Book 3 in the Prince of Lust series
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.
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.
Two travelers on the ultimate Australian road trip. Two numbers that will change their lives forever.
Thomas is in need of a change. Being an aspiring artist from London, he hopes a working holiday in sunny Australia will be the muse he’s been waiting for. But it isn’t Australia’s vast landscapes that are his source of inspiration…
After a string of unromantic dates, Thomas meets Bruce, a handsome Irish traveler with alluring almond eyes. The more time the pair spend together, however, the more they start seeing the numbers 1122 everywhere.
Are the numbers just a coincidence, or is something greater at play? Is Bruce really who he says he is, or is there more to him than he’s letting on?
A story about seizing the moment, finding a sense of home, and embracing love when it comes knocking.
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?
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.
London has fallen.
With the city breached and no sanctuary left, Cassius Jones is thrust into the chaos of a dying world. Monsters roam free, factions fracture, and the University lies in ruins. Cassius must navigate shifting allegiances and the complex politics of the teras—hybrids and purebloods alike, each with their own vision of survival. But even as the line between enemy and ally fades, the darkest truths lie closer to home. As he unravels the grim origins of the University and the world it shaped, Cassius must confront everything he thought he believed—about justice, about God, and about himself. And through it all, there’s Leo: the boy he’s spent all this time trying not to love.
Now, that denial may be the last lie he can afford. In a war where no side is innocent, and no choice comes without cost, Cassius must confront who he truly is—and decide what, and who, he’s willing to sacrifice. The end is coming.
What will he save?
What do you do when you’re a hit man … who’s terrible at his job?
At first, I thought it would be an easy payday. A few pew pews for bad people, a couple of suitcases of cash for me. People have done worse for an honest living. Probably.
The problem is that after a couple of jobs, I’ve never actually managed to unalive someone, and not for lack of trying. Apparently, a basic requirement of a hitman is being a good shot.
Despite my constant duck-ups—that my boss knows nothing about—I’m given another name, and I very nearly follow through. Only after obliterating this guy’s ear and his fervent pleading to spare him, I’ve sent him into hiding and collected the cash anyway.
But wanted people are hard to hide, and bad guys don’t like paying big money for loose ends.
Now that Van Gogh has shown his face again—sans ear—I’ve scammed my way into his security team, which is sort of ideal since I’m now highly wanted as well.
Unfortunately, we have some “trust issues” to “work through” from our meet-shoot, and with the gorgeous bastard’s brother missing, he refuses to lay low until they’re reunited.
I’m not sold on the plan, honestly, but this guy has me questioning my sexuality along with my career path, and I’m at the point where I’m determined to see a job through to the end.
Or die trying.
But hey, at least then I’d finally deliver a body.
Davey
In a list of what’s most important to me, three things are right up there at the top. My kids, my husband Mack, and my career I’ve spent my life building. Unfortunately that career has me away from home more than I’d like, and when I refuse to walk away from it, my husband walks away from me instead.
Living together post-divorce makes sense for us, but it blurs the lines between what we were and what we have. Now that I’ve scored a big promotion and negotiated twelve long weeks at home, memories of our life together haunt me. They make me long for what we had. And now that Mack is moving on with someone else, I’m being faced with the cold truth. I should never have let Mack go, and now it might be too late to get him back.
Mack
Twelve weeks. It’s the longest Davey has been home since we had the kids, and all it does is remind me of everything I wish I still had. So I decide this is it. I have twelve weeks to remind Davey of everything he lost and hope like hell when I give him the choice between work and me again, that this time he chooses me.
None of my friends are on board with my plan, and the new guy in town is trying his hardest to win me over. But I can ignore cute notes slipped into my favorite books if it means getting back the man I’ll love forever.
All I need to do is remind him our life together was perfect.
Now if only our kids, our friends, and his work would get the memo …
Madden
My best friend is uptight, gorgeous, the greatest person I know … and I might be a smidge in love with him. Just a small amount. Barely worth the mention.
Which is a stupid choice on my part when the guy is straight.
Starting a landscaping company with him was the perfect mix of doing what I love and an excuse to spend time with him, only it hasn’t completely taken off yet and now he’s telling me he’s lonely.
Lonely.
Apparently having one friend in your life isn’t enough.
So I’m determined to help him find love. With someone other than me. Maybe if I can pull that off, it’ll mean my heart will finally get the message and move on.
Or finish breaking into a hundred pieces.
Same thing, right?
Penn
Being besties with an overenthusiastic, gold-hearted, nudist of a man is a challenge sometimes. Madden makes everything sunshine when he’s around.
The problem is that he hasn’t been around as much lately. We work together, sure, but he’s got his roommates and I have … no one. Just him. So I feel the distance acutely.
My one reassurance is that we have work tying us together, but when an old client calls with a proposition for us, it feels like our once solid friendship is unraveling fast.
He wants Madden to help him open a nudist resort, and if Madden’s doing that, he won’t be working with me.
I’m trying not to panic over the thought of losing him, which is a typical, common best friend reaction. Nothing out of the ordinary.
And neither is the way my body has been reacting to him lately.
Everything is totally, completely normal between us.
While there’s still an us at all.
Xander
There’s something seriously wrong with me.
For once, I’m not talking about the health anxiety that randomly pops up and wreaks havoc on my life. I'm talking about, well, everything else.
All my roommates have found someone to love them, and it hurts to see the guys who used to have me at the center of their worlds pair off and grow up, especially when it’s a reminder of how alone I've always been. I’ve always had an issue with relationships. With forming a connection with people outside of Seven, but this is more.
Because I want to find my someone.
Except the one person my brain has latched onto is the one person I can never have. The one person who’s there to help me when my panic attacks get too much.
Nurse Derek.
Derek
I should never have offered to treat Xander Moore.
And now here I am years later, my life on hold, while I wait day in and day out for the call that Xander needs me. It always comes, and I always answer, but I’m starting to dread those visits.
Lately, I’m looking at Xander in a way a medical professional should never look at their patient.
When Xander starts volunteering at the same nursing home that I do, I get to see a new side of him. The artistic, charismatic side that draws the residents in. I get glimpses of a man who’s so much more than his anxiety, and it does nothing to help my feelings for him.
Lines begin to blur and I have no choice but to stop treating him. That at least allows us to be friends. The only problem is, being friends isn’t enough for either of us.
It’s wrong, unethical, and unprofessional, but my heart won’t listen. It’s decided on Xander, and it doesn’t want to wait. Neither does Xander.
But if I want to keep my job, I have to resist.
I just wish he didn’t make that so difficult.
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.
A fantasy adventure of self-discovery, slow-burning romance and magic. Rise of the Phoenix follows a group of friends torn from their ordinary lives and thrown into a ruthless pursuit that could cost them everything.
One moment can change your life forever.
Will Tavner never imagined his quiet life in Fawkeston would end with fire and shadows. Marked by a strange glowing symbol and plagued by visions he can’t explain, Will’s dreams of leaving his small town behind crumble as he’s thrust into a world where magic is more than myth — and far more dangerous.
Together with his fiercely loyal friends — Aylise, Seb, and Rupert — Will is drawn into an ancient conflict brewing across the kingdom of Arulean. The ruthless Queen Haveena and her husband, King Rickard, rule the land with fear, wielding their powers to crush dissent. When whispers of rebellion stir and a long-forgotten power begins to rise, their reign threatens to topple.
As secrets unravel and loyalties are tested, Will must decide who he can trust and what he’s willing to sacrifice to awaken a long-lost power. In a world teetering on the edge of revolution, his choices will either spark a new dawn — or doom it to ashes.
Alessandro has conquered shame, cast aside mortal bindings, and claimed his place among Hell’s favored. But one last ascent remains. To stand before Asmodeus, Prince of Lust and keeper of desire’s darkest truths, Alessandro must kneel before every King of Hell, and be judged.
This final trial will strip away what remains of his mortal soul, testing not only his devotion but the core of his humanity. Will Alessandro rise from the throne room reborn as Hell’s most exalted servant, or lose the last fragments of his sanity?
The final battle for desire, power, and identity reaches its blazing conclusion.
