Nuts and Bolts is LIVE!
Hi everyone! I’m so excited that Nuts and Bolts is finally LIVE! When I wrote this I pictured the old hardware store in the small town I grew up in with it’s heavy wooden floors worn smooth from who knows how many years of use. I remember being so excited to go there to buy fishing gear because it was a business I never visited much and was very curious about. I can still remember the smell of dust and oil that seemed to permeate the space. Lots of fun stuff to look at there.
It has been so much fun working on a series like this. Each of us had our own business and the variety and creativity has been wonderful. I hope you’ll check out all the books in the series.
To help celebrate I’m offering a giveaway! You can win a signed paperback of Nuts and Bolts with a swag pack, just like or follow at any of my links. http://www.rafflecopter.com/rafl/display/8914b5706/?

Nuts and Bolts Part of Foggy Basin Small town MM Romance
https://books2read.com/NutsANDBolts
Jack Hulbert has worked at the hardware store Nuts and Bolts since he was sixteen. He had big dreams of leaving town and traveling, but five years later, not much has changed, and he worries he’ll end up living the rest of his life in the small town he was born in.
Hudson Carter has been working in Sacramento for the past ten years, managing a big box store. He left Foggy Basin for college in the city and he never once looked back. His parents have owned the hardware store in town for two generations, and he’d hoped to avoid the same fate, but when his father tells him his plans to either sell the store or close it, he has a change of heart.
Hudson has been single for years, and a few bad breakups have left him jaded about finding the perfect partner. But he’s not prepared for the cute, and much younger man who knows far more than he does about running the hardware store and isn’t afraid to tell him. It’s time for this city boy to embrace his country roots and find out what really matters in his life, and a certain country boy is more than willing to help. #age gap, #city/country, #workplace romance, #small town romance.

Cole Ryan is bored. He’s lived in the same small town his whole life and has the same job. Nothing changes there and every morning when he goes for a run, those thoughts echo on repeat through his mind. Until today, on this day, something big happens and if he survives it, his life won’t be the same. Maybe boring old Hickory Crossing wasn’t so bad after all.
Driving in the rain, on his way to a delivery, Bobby Sanders is focused on the road, when a flash of blue light in the distance catches his eye. He witnesses a bolt of lightning strike a man running on the road ahead of him. He never suspected that bolt of lightning could change both their lives, not just the poor guy who was blown out of his shoes right in front of him.
When the persistent sound of whispering won’t go away, Cole questions his sanity. But maybe he’s not the only one experiencing strange things.

“There’s no time. Remember, I love you.”
It all started with a discovery. A cave beneath a waterfall that held a crystal. Two boys—best friends—embark on a journey they’re told will help all mankind. As the years go by, their friendship turns to love, and their adventure turns into a battle.
Drew Langly is the keeper of the crystal. With his contact, the crystal allows them to jump to different timestreams and help, if they can, to further that society or fix anything that improves their lives. When he’s ripped from the timestream, it’s the beginning of what will change everything they’ve come to know about how the different timestreams function.
Colby Adams is Drew’s boyfriend, fellow traveler, and jump partner. When Drew is left vulnerable after a failed jump, he’s there to help and try to figure out what went wrong. They soon discover another team of travelers is in trouble, but they’ve been warned against trusting them. The more they learn, the more they realize everything has been a lie. To rewrite a history that’s been full of deceit, they’ll need to put their trust, once again, in strangers. Can they rewind it all and begin again? Experience the history they were always meant to? With some unconventional help, maybe…

Blinding Light Book Two

Faded Dreams: https://mybook.to/FadedDreamsRTR2
Blinding Light: https://mybook.to/BlindingLight
Rory Smith has been playing bass for Blinding Light since the beginning. Sure, he left a few times temporarily, but he’s always gone back to the only life he’s really known. It was all fun and games in his twenties, but lately he wonders if there’s something more out there besides traveling show to show.
Kai Marshall has always been a huge fan of Blinding Light, but the real reason he goes to every show he can sneak into is to get a glimpse of their hot bass player. Everyone else worshiped the lead singer Easy Rian. When they found out, he was out and proud, and in a relationship with the new guitar player, many hearts were broken. But not his. His heart only beats for Rory, the white-blonde haired rock god that he can’t get out of his head.
Rory’s played the rockstar game for many years. Not one time in all those years has he met anyone who made him feel the way the cute guy off to the side with the haunting blue eyes does. He’s always kept his heart of lockdown, but maybe it’s time for a jailbreak. His dreams have faded, but they’re not completely gone. #agegap #oppositesattract #friendstolovers #rockstarromance

Watch out for forbidden desires at Blue Star Diner!
Keywords: Age Gap, Police Officer, Family Diner Co-owner, Opposites Attract, Families Clashes, Small Town Romance
In the heart of the small town, the Blue Star Diner serves more than just comfort food. Twenty-four-year-old Andrew Star, a brooding co-manager of a family diner with a past, finds himself drawn to Officer Duarte—a man with secrets as dark as the night. Their attraction is electric, but there’s a catch: both men are hiding their true selves. Andrew, scarred by youthful mistakes, yearns for Officer Duarte’s attention. But Officer Duarte, bound by duty and fear, must keep his sexuality hidden to protect everything he holds dear.
As the tension simmers between them, the Star and Duarte families clash. Their feud, fueled by religious differences, threatens to tear apart the very fabric of their lives. Andrew’s cover as a ladies’ man is a fragile shield, while Officer Duarte walks a tightrope between love and survival.
In a small town where acceptance comes at a high price, Andrew and Officer Duarte must navigate forbidden desires, risking everything for a chance at love. But when secrets unravel and loyalties are tested, they’ll discover that the true battle lies within themselves—a battle that could shatter their lives or set them free. Blue Star Diner is a gripping tale of love, sacrifice, and the courage to embrace who they truly are, even when the odds are stacked against them.
Welcome to Foggy Basin. Just passing through? No problem. Here to stay, well, better find your place. Sit back, relax, and get to know the townsfolk. They love hard and play even harder. Each book is a standalone book, but why not stay and get to know us and read them all?
Busted String
Brina Brady
https://books2read.com/u/4D9lGO
MM Rockstar Romance, Rock bands, Hurt to Comfort, Rebellious Singer, mysterious drummer.
Jace Adams, a rebellious rock singer, commands the stage with a raw energy that denies his past. At sixteen, he chose the uncertainty of the streets over the constraints imposed by his strict religious upbringing. A decision leads him to Nicko, a drummer with a rhythm as mysterious as his mafia heritage. Together, they form the band Journey, blending their gritty street style into a symphony of success.
Nicko Greco, the drummer with a legacy as complex as his beats, navigates the treacherous waters of his family’s mafia ties while drumming up a storm on stage. Despite the sparks flying between him and Jace, he keeps his heart guarded, adhering to his father’s stern warning: love is a luxury that could cost him his life.
As they rise from the ashes of their former lives, Jace harbors a secret passion for Nicko, a love so intense he would forsake all others. But his vices—drinking, smoking, and a revolving door of romances—keep Nicko at arm’s length. Unbeknownst to Nicko, Jace is ready to sacrifice it all for a chance at true harmony with him. Will the beat of their hearts synchronize, or will the melody of their love remain unsung?

Hot Nights in the Big Easy
Coming 9/20/2024
Series page: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CTSV6BD7
Life for Kenny Somerton had just begun. Recent college graduate who snagged his dream job and had been sent to attend a business meeting in New Orleans. A place at the top of his bucket list. What was even more fortuitous was this year his birthday fell during Mardi Gras. How could he not fly in a few days early to celebrate?
The streets were packed, and the bars filled to the brim. It took forever to get through the line to get a drink, and by sheer luck, he snagged a barstool at the same time. Ah, now he could relax and listen to the band play. Their sound was so surreal, so alluring, and Kenny swayed to the music.
Shadow Wraith. The name ghosted through the air and there he was.
Banjo.
An unforgettable first time. Though one sultry night was not enough with Mister Right.
Hot Nights in the Big Easy is a multi-author collection of stories written during our author retreat. So sit back, relax, and enjoy New Orleans with our boys.

You Can Save Me is here!!!! Get it here – here – https://books2read.com/You-Can-Save-Me-Merrill
From author R.L. Merrill comes the follow-up to You Can Do Magic, Winner of The Paranormal Romance Guild Reviewers’ Choice award and Finalist in the North Texas Romance Writers’ Carolyn Contest.
Sixties folk singer Dane Donovan vanished from a desolate highway rest area in 1979. Forty years later, he’s found hitchhiking in the California desert on a cold winter’s night. He hasn’t aged a day, but the roadmap of scars he wears tells a chilling tale.
Veteran detective Walter Muse took over Dane’s missing persons case twenty years ago, but his haunting connection to Dane Donovan goes back to a peculiar run-in as a child with The Troubadour and his Talking Board at a traveling carnival. He receives a late-night call with Dane’s whereabouts and races to Laurel Canyon to see for himself whether Dane is real — or a ghost meant to taunt Walter and his somewhat precarious hold on his sanity. Walter’s carefully honed detective instincts are thrown out the window, however, when his obsession with the case develops into an undeniable attraction to the mysterious singer.
Dane is on a mission to stop a new killer hell-bent on picking up where Dane’s kidnapper left off, and Walter is determined to protect him, no matter the personal and psychological cost. They’ll have to rely on new friends and trusted colleagues as well as the power of a mystical spirit board to stop the killing, and have a chance at a real future together.
You Can Save Me is part of the multi-author Carnival of Mysteries series. All books may be read as a standalone, but this book is a continuation of the events in You Can Do Magic. Recommended 18+ and TW for violence and mention of suicide of a family member.

Pints ‘n Pool
Foggy Basin Small Town Series
https://books2read.com/TLPintsnPool
Merle Cloverdale’s life was organized to the Nth degree. From the time he woke until the time he went to bed, promptly at midnight. He knew what his day would entail from start to finish.
Relationships would fail, his bar would not and with that attitude it was no wonder his grouchy ass remained unattached.
Kit, no last name, and not because he was famous, but because he was the son of free-spirited parents who felt surnames didn’t define you. Thankfully, they didn’t feel the same about a first. Growing up in a commune full of like-minded adults, he couldn’t wait to get out and explore the world.
Hitchhiking between towns, he never stayed in longer than a couple of months. This trip landed Kit in Foggy Basin. A quick glance around the local businesses, Kit knew odds were he’d find work and stay for a bit while he saved up enough to move on.
Pints ‘n Pool is an opposites attract, grumpy-sunshine tale of two men who were so wrong for each other that they couldn’t be more right. Hopefully, they pull their heads out of their asses before it’s too late. #MMRomanceAuthor#gayromanceauthor#newbookalert#mmromancebook#mmromancerecs#newbooks2024#gayromancebook#MMRomance#newbook#lgbt#workplace#newbookstagram#gayromancenovels#smalltownromance#gayromance

Sure, he’s gorgeous and talented, and seems a little grumpy at first, but the more I get to know him, the more I see that he’s a genuinely sweet guy.
Something happened in his past, and I want to prove to him that he’s still worth loving. Even if it will break my own heart in the process.
Olly:
I’m still dealing with the aftermath of my stalker. He’s locked up and I’m safe, so why can’t my mind and body get the memo?
When one of my panic attacks is photographed for the world to see, I realize that it’s time I get help. I want to go somewhere quiet, somewhere the paparazzi won’t find me. When my aunt invites me to her small home in Foggy Basin, California, it’s the perfect place to hide out.

Just Another Day At The Morgue
https://books2read.com/JustANotherDay
Seeing spirits is one thing, but feeling the pain of their death is an experience best left alone. Restless spirits, a ghost dog, and two men connected to the spirit world. What could go wrong? Bran Tanda works at the hospital morgue despite the fact he can see and hear all the spirits that tend to congregate there. He wants to help them, even if they terrify him with their aggressive tactics to get him to acknowledge their existence.
Jordan Amid is Bran’s assistant. He’s reluctant to interact too much with the dead since he can feel all the pain from their death and the confusion they’re left with. But he’s drawn to work there with Bran, and his ghost dog Buddy. Bran and Jordan are thrown into a world where things are changing, and without their help everyone will suffer the dead. Stronger together than separately, they’ll both need to face their fears and find the strength they’ll need to fight the evil forces that threaten them and all of humanity. #MMParanromal #UrbanFantasy #Necromancer #PsychicEmpath

JJ Carrington was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. He’s used to flying in business class and spending all his holidays at the nicest resorts in the world. But lately he’s tired of the same vacation over and over again, and the long days of drinking and looking for his next hookup are starting to blur together.
Cory Wynn has been working on a cruise ship for the past year. He’d never traveled before that, and now he’s seen more Caribbean destinations than he even knew existed. He hoped to meet someone to fall in love with while at sea, but so far all he does is work.
JJ follows some of the passengers onto the cruise ship after partying with them all day. Security realizes he’s not a passenger, and they waste no time taking him into custody and explaining to him he’ll be dropped off at the next stop. JJ is used to getting his way in everything in life, but this time there’s no one to bail him out. He may have finally met his match in the cruise worker who has to share his cabin with him and can’t wait until the next stop to get him off the ship.

Nuts and Bolts
https://books2read.com/NutsANDBolts
Jack Hulbert has worked at the hardware store Nuts and Bolts since he was sixteen. He had big dreams of leaving town and traveling, but five years later, not much has changed, and he worries he’ll end up living the rest of his life in the small town he was born in.
Hudson Carter has been working in Sacramento for the past ten years, managing a big box store. He left Foggy Basin for college in the city and he never once looked back. His parents have owned the hardware store in town for two generations, and he’d hoped to avoid the same fate, but when his father tells him his plans to either sell the store or close it, he has a change of heart.
Hudson has been single for years, and a few bad breakups have left him jaded about finding the perfect partner. But he’s not prepared for the cute, and much younger man who knows far more than he does about running the hardware store and isn’t afraid to tell him. It’s time for this city boy to embrace his country roots and find out what really matters in his life, and a certain country boy is more than willing to help. #age gap, #city/country, #workplace romance, #small town romance.

JJ Carrington was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. He’s used to flying in business class and spending all his holidays at the nicest resorts in the world. But lately he’s tired of the same vacation over and over again, and the long days of drinking and looking for his next hookup are starting to blur together.
Cory Wynn has been working on a cruise ship for the past year. He’d never traveled before that, and now he’s seen more Caribbean destinations than he even knew existed. He hoped to meet someone to fall in love with while at sea, but so far all he does is work.
JJ follows some of the passengers onto the cruise ship after partying with them all day. Security realizes he’s not a passenger, and they waste no time taking him into custody and explaining to him he’ll be dropped off at the next stop. JJ is used to getting his way in everything in life, but this time there’s no one to bail him out. He may have finally met his match in the cruise worker who has to share his cabin with him and can’t wait until the next stop to get him off the ship.

Jordan Amid’s family has always been connected to the other side of the veil, but they follow a long tradition of secrecy, not telling outsiders all they can do. When an insistent spirit keeps showing up in the middle of the night, he knows he can’t keep it all from Bran any longer. Throwing his spirit from his body is only one of the skills he has, but he’s not sure its time to admit everything yet.
Bran Tanda is finally starting to accept and understand more of his necromancer abilities, but he’s still hesitant to embrace all the powers he knows he possesses, and even though he’s avoided the witches in his mother’s coven his ability is not only one they’re interested in.
Jordan’s family has kept their abilities secret for generations. Mostly to protect themselves from being used in ways that could bring more power to some at the expense of others. Especially when one of those secrets involves the ancient enemy that’s been behind most of the strange happenings around town. Jordan and Bran’s abilities will be tested, along with their relationship. More than their relationship will suffer if they fail.

Ghost Hunted: https://books2read.com/u/mdXgjR
Series Link: mybook.to/ValleyGhostsSeries
Jason Thomas had always been obsessed with the ghost stories he’d watched on television from the time he was a kid. He’d always dreamed of visiting those haunted places, and playing amateur ghost hunters with his best friend Wade. As they grew older, Jason’s fascination with ghosts grew as well, and he’d drag Wade along to different haunted houses or hotels, always hoping to see an actual ghost.
Wade Rivers loved spending time with Jason, even if it meant he’d have to endure another creepy, supposedly haunted location. Friends since they were kids, and always inseparable, Wade’s feelings for Jason deepened from friendship into something more. Unfortunately, so did his fear of the places Jason wanted to explore.
The chance to spend a weekend alone in a famous haunted house was too much for Jason to resist, and almost too much for Wade to endure. He knew going to the deserted house was everything Jason had ever dreamed of, so Wade tried to put his fears aside. But when paranormal things start to happen, admitting to Jason how he feels suddenly isn’t the scariest thing Wade will encounter. #paranormalromance #hauntedhouse #friendstolovers

Blue Lightning
Cole Ryan is bored. He’s lived in the same small town his whole life and has the same job. Nothing changes there and every morning when he goes for a run, those thoughts echo on repeat through his mind. Until today, on this day, something big happens and if he survives it, his life won’t be the same. Maybe boring old Hickory Crossing wasn’t so bad after all.
Driving in the rain, on his way to a delivery, Bobby Sanders is focused on the road, when a flash of blue light in the distance catches his eye. He witnesses a bolt of lightning strike a man running on the road ahead of him. He never suspected that bolt of lightning could change both their lives, not just the poor guy who was blown out of his shoes right in front of him.
When the persistent sound of whispering won’t go away, Cole questions his sanity. But maybe he’s not the only one experiencing strange things.

Twenty-year-old Daniel Serban loses his dancing job and threats of being outed to his family force him to flee Limerick, Ireland. Daniel fears his father and the other gypsy men will force him to marry his betrothed or bring bodily harm to him for being gay.
As chance would have it, he ends up in Cleary’s Pub, a gay leather bar in Galway where he meets the grouchy, ginger-bear Ronan O’Riley. Daniel had no idea how much meeting the Dom would transform his life. Ronan O’Riley could not move on since the death of his sub a year ago, that is until a troubled gypsy boy steps into Cleary’s. Ronan’s lonely existence is about to change.
Can Ronan convince Daniel to trust him or will Daniel’s fears of his past ruin any chance of a relationship? Unexpected, heated attraction in the barn ignites their relationship to move forward. Though the two men have many of the same dreams, Daniel’s secrets and Ronan’s need to gain Daniel’s trust are just a few of the many challenges they must overcome if they are to be together.

This time, the harassment is unrelenting and something bad happens on the street. Fearing that Miguel might end up like his father, who was gunned down at Miguel’s sixth birthday party in front of the young boy, his mother and Uncle Javier send him to the Jersey shore for the summer. Miguel dreams of finding a daddy to protect him.
Shamus O’Malley, twenty-eight, would normally live comfortably above the bar he owns on the boardwalk in Seaside Heights, New Jersey. The night of a traumatic breakup, however, he is seeking sanctuary at a hotel on the boardwalk. There, all his protective instincts are aroused as he encounters a bruised Miguel also checking in.
Luckily for them both, they are assigned rooms next door to each other. Has Shamus found his boy? Has Miguel found his daddy? Is anything that develops between them destined to end the hot summer days?

Pints ‘n Pool
Foggy Basin Small Town Series
Coming 8/16/2024
https://books2read.com/TLPintsnPool
Merle Cloverdale’s life was organized to the Nth degree. From the time he woke until the time he went to bed, promptly at midnight. He knew what his day would entail from start to finish.
Relationships would fail, his bar would not and with that attitude it was no wonder his grouchy ass remained unattached.
Kit, no last name, and not because he was famous, but because he was the son of free-spirited parents who felt surnames didn’t define you. Thankfully, they didn’t feel the same about a first. Growing up in a commune full of like-minded adults, he couldn’t wait to get out and explore the world.
Hitchhiking between towns, he never stayed in longer than a couple of months. This trip landed Kit in Foggy Basin. A quick glance around the local businesses, Kit knew odds were he’d find work and stay for a bit while he saved up enough to move on.
Pints ‘n Pool is an opposites attract, grumpy-sunshine tale of two men who were so wrong for each other that they couldn’t be more right. Hopefully, they pull their heads out of their asses before it’s too late.
Welcome to Foggy Basin. Just passing through? No problem. Here to stay, well, better find your place. Sit back, relax and get to know the townsfolk. They love hard and play even harder. Each book is a standalone but why not stay and get to know us and read them all.

Excerpt: “What does the card say?” Callahan asked after several more moments of rummaging around and clearly producing nothing.
“Card? What card?”
“The one attached to the basket! How else did you know we were the ones to send it to you?”
“I didn’t see any card! I took one look at the boy all wrapped up on my porch and assumed it had to be one of you fuckers. Hang on, let me go outside and check.”
“Outside? Hank, it’s fuckin’ freezing out there you asshole! Bring him in for fuck’s sake.”
“Well, now that I know there isn’t a gun waiting for me under all of that wrapping paper, I will.”
“For fuck’s sake, paranoid much?”
“You should know that by now,” Hank muttered and tossed the phone on the couch so he could go find this card they were talking about. With his bum knee, there was no way he was going to be able to lift that basket, so the boy better be willing to climb out of it, or on the porch he’d remain.
The boy in the basket was right where Hank had left him, only there was no question that he was shivering now and looked quite sad and confused, though his eyes brightened when they landed on Hank and he attempted another smile, despite the way his lips quivered. The light flakes that had been falling when he’d first answered the door had grown thicker and heavier too, the wind whipping a blizzard of them in a swirl across his porch.
“Come on, I need you to get up out of there unless you’d like to freeze to death,” Hank said, crooking his finger at him.
“Unwrappy?”
Groaning, Hank muttered a litany of curses beneath his breath as he reached for one of the elaborately tied ribbons.
“Yeah, yeah, unwrappy,” Hank muttered, struggling to manage it and the cane. Finally, he just tore at the paper until enough of it fell away that he’d revealed the young man was, in fact, sitting there in a snowman onesie with a polar bear stuffy held in his hands. He found the card too, tucked alongside him in the basket. Sealed with purple wax, it bore the elegant VI logo of the club.
“Come on then,” Hank said once the young man was free. He climbed to his feet unsteadily, clinging to that bear and shivering as he shuffled through the entryway. Hank snatched a throw blanket off the back of the couch and chucked it his way before opening the card and perusing the contents.
Here’s a Little something to make your holidays brighter. His name is Ryu. I trust he’ll bring you plenty of merriment and joy.

MM Rockstar Romance, Rock bands, Hurt to Comfort, Rebellious Singer, mysterious drummer.
Jace Adams, a rebellious rock singer, commands the stage with a raw energy that denies his past. At sixteen, he chose the uncertainty of the streets over the constraints imposed by his strict religious upbringing. A decision leads him to Nicko, a drummer with a rhythm as mysterious as his mafia heritage. Together, they form the band Journey, blending their gritty street style into a symphony of success.
Nicko Greco, the drummer with a legacy as complex as his beats, navigates the treacherous waters of his family’s mafia ties while drumming up a storm on stage. Despite the sparks flying between him and Jace, he keeps his heart guarded, adhering to his father’s stern warning: love is a luxury that could cost him his life.
As they rise from the ashes of their former lives, Jace harbors a secret passion for Nicko, a love so intense he would forsake all others. But his vices—drinking, smoking, and a revolving door of romances—keep Nicko at arm’s length. Unbeknownst to Nicko, Jace is ready to sacrifice it all for a chance at true harmony with him. Will the beat of their hearts synchronize, or will the melody of their love remain unsung?

Lonely.
Loneliness is an uncomfortably familiar emotion For Chase Prescott. As the lead singer for the band Embrace the Fear he’s constantly surrounded by his bandmates and best friends, but regardless he feels solitary—separate. Alone.
Casey Robinson hasn’t had a boy in too long. Over the years he’s had boys of many types, but none stuck around. What he craves is a little of his own but searching for his boy has left Casey feeling empty.
Chase is all tangled up inside, silently screaming, envious of what his friends have but not knowing how to get it. Then a friend suggests he check out the club he and his boyfriend frequent as a way of getting out of his own head. At this point Chase figures, why not?
Resigned to giving up his club membership, Casey walks the halls one last time to say his goodbyes.
A brief pause in front of the littles room changes Casey and Chase’s lives in the best of ways.
This is the fourth and final book in the Embrace the Fear series featuring a little screaming to be set free, a Daddy ready to give up, and a best friend that turns into a know-it-all butthead.
His Last Chase is part of the multi-author Road to Rocktoberfest 2024 series. Each book can be read as a standalone, but why not read them all and see what antics our bands get into next? Hot rockstars and the men who love them, what more could you ask for. Kick back, load up your kindle and enjoy the men of Rocktoberfest!

Pints ‘n Pool
Foggy Basin Small Town Series
Coming 8/16/2024
https://books2read.com/TLPintsnPool
Merle Cloverdale’s life was organized to the Nth degree. From the time he woke until the time he went to bed, promptly at midnight. He knew what his day would entail from start to finish.
Relationships would fail, his bar would not and with that attitude it was no wonder his grouchy ass remained unattached.
Kit, no last name, and not because he was famous, but because he was the son of free-spirited parents who felt surnames didn’t define you. Thankfully, they didn’t feel the same about a first. Growing up in a commune full of like-minded adults, he couldn’t wait to get out and explore the world.
Hitchhiking between towns, he never stayed in longer than a couple of months. This trip landed Kit in Foggy Basin. A quick glance around the local businesses, Kit knew odds were he’d find work and stay for a bit while he saved up enough to move on.
Pints ‘n Pool is an opposites attract, grumpy-sunshine tale of two men who were so wrong for each other that they couldn’t be more right. Hopefully, they pull their heads out of their asses before it’s too late.
Welcome to Foggy Basin. Just passing through? No problem. Here to stay, well, better find your place. Sit back, relax and get to know the townsfolk. They love hard and play even harder. Each book is a standalone but why not stay and get to know us and read them all.

Excerpt: “What does the card say?” Callahan asked after several more moments of rummaging around and clearly producing nothing.
“Card? What card?”
“The one attached to the basket! How else did you know we were the ones to send it to you?”
“I didn’t see any card! I took one look at the boy all wrapped up on my porch and assumed it had to be one of you fuckers. Hang on, let me go outside and check.”
“Outside? Hank, it’s fuckin’ freezing out there you asshole! Bring him in for fuck’s sake.”
“Well, now that I know there isn’t a gun waiting for me under all of that wrapping paper, I will.”
“For fuck’s sake, paranoid much?”
“You should know that by now,” Hank muttered and tossed the phone on the couch so he could go find this card they were talking about. With his bum knee, there was no way he was going to be able to lift that basket, so the boy better be willing to climb out of it, or on the porch he’d remain.
The boy in the basket was right where Hank had left him, only there was no question that he was shivering now and looked quite sad and confused, though his eyes brightened when they landed on Hank and he attempted another smile, despite the way his lips quivered. The light flakes that had been falling when he’d first answered the door had grown thicker and heavier too, the wind whipping a blizzard of them in a swirl across his porch.
“Come on, I need you to get up out of there unless you’d like to freeze to death,” Hank said, crooking his finger at him.
“Unwrappy?”
Groaning, Hank muttered a litany of curses beneath his breath as he reached for one of the elaborately tied ribbons.
“Yeah, yeah, unwrappy,” Hank muttered, struggling to manage it and the cane. Finally, he just tore at the paper until enough of it fell away that he’d revealed the young man was, in fact, sitting there in a snowman onesie with a polar bear stuffy held in his hands. He found the card too, tucked alongside him in the basket. Sealed with purple wax, it bore the elegant VI logo of the club.
“Come on then,” Hank said once the young man was free. He climbed to his feet unsteadily, clinging to that bear and shivering as he shuffled through the entryway. Hank snatched a throw blanket off the back of the couch and chucked it his way before opening the card and perusing the contents.
Here’s a Little something to make your holidays brighter. His name is Ryu. I trust he’ll bring you plenty of merriment and joy.

JJ Carrington was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. He’s used to flying in business class and spending all his holidays at the nicest resorts in the world. But lately he’s tired of the same vacation over and over again, and the long days of drinking and looking for his next hookup are starting to blur together.
Cory Wynn has been working on a cruise ship for the past year. He’d never traveled before that, and now he’s seen more Caribbean destinations than he even knew existed. He hoped to meet someone to fall in love with while at sea, but so far all he does is work.
JJ follows some of the passengers onto the cruise ship after partying with them all day. Security realizes he’s not a passenger, and they waste no time taking him into custody and explaining to him he’ll be dropped off at the next stop. JJ is used to getting his way in everything in life, but this time there’s no one to bail him out. He may have finally met his match in the cruise worker who has to share his cabin with him and can’t wait until the next stop to get him off the ship. #Forced Proximity #Enemies to Lovers #Opposites Attract

Jordan Amid’s family has always been connected to the other side of the veil, but they follow a long tradition of secrecy, not telling outsiders all they can do. When an insistent spirit keeps showing up in the middle of the night, he knows he can’t keep it all from Bran any longer. Throwing his spirit from his body is only one of the skills he has, but he’s not sure its time to admit everything yet.
Bran Tanda is finally starting to accept and understand more of his necromancer abilities, but he’s still hesitant to embrace all the powers he knows he possesses, and even though he’s avoided the witches in his mother’s coven his ability is not only one they’re interested in.
Jordan’s family has kept their abilities secret for generations. Mostly to protect themselves from being used in ways that could bring more power to some at the expense of others. Especially when one of those secrets involves the ancient enemy that’s been behind most of the strange happenings around town. Jordan and Bran’s abilities will be tested, along with their relationship. More than their relationship will suffer if they fail.

Lucas has always avoided contact with The Twelve. That changes when Brennan is taken by a group of vampires intent on destroying one mate while capturing the other. After waiting several human lifetimes to find his mate, Lucas won’t sit back and lose Brennan. They’re all forced to seek out The Twelve, the ancient vampires who rule over all others.
When they reach the hidden fortress of the Consortium, they soon realize there’s more going on than they ever could have imagined.

Jason Thomas had always been obsessed with the ghost stories he’d watched on television from the time he was a kid. He’d always dreamed of visiting those haunted places, and playing amateur ghost hunters with his best friend Wade. As they grew older, Jason’s fascination with ghosts grew as well, and he’d drag Wade along to different haunted houses or hotels, always hoping to see an actual ghost.
Wade Rivers loved spending time with Jason, even if it meant he’d have to endure another creepy, supposedly haunted location. Friends since they were kids, and always inseparable, Wade’s feelings for Jason deepened from friendship into something more. Unfortunately, so did his fear of the places Jason wanted to explore.
The chance to spend a weekend alone in a famous haunted house was too much for Jason to resist, and almost too much for Wade to endure. He knew going to the deserted house was everything Jason had ever dreamed of, so Wade tried to put his fears aside. But when paranormal things start to happen, admitting to Jason how he feels suddenly isn’t the scariest thing Wade will encounter. #paranormalromance #hauntedhouse #friendstolovers

Jack Hulbert has worked at the hardware store Nuts and Bolts since he was sixteen. He had big dreams of leaving town and traveling, but five years later, not much has changed, and he worries he’ll end up living the rest of his life in the small town he was born in.
Hudson Carter has been working in Sacramento for the past ten years, managing a big box store. He left Foggy Basin for college in the city and he never once looked back. His parents have owned the hardware store in town for two generations, and he’d hoped to avoid the same fate, but when his father tells him his plans to either sell the store or close it, he has a change of heart.
Hudson has been single for years, and a few bad breakups have left him jaded about finding the perfect partner. But he’s not prepared for the cute, and much younger man who knows far more than he does about running the hardware store and isn’t afraid to tell him. It’s time for this city boy to embrace his country roots and find out what really matters in his life, and a certain country boy is more than willing to help. #age gap, #city/country, #workplace romance, #small town romance.

https://www.books2read.com/AhoyDaddy
Pride Cruise 2024 Series Page: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CLKWB4JJ
Get a job on a cruise ship, she said. It’s perfect for you.
Highly unlikely considering nothing ever has been…
Vale: I’ve been hyper all my life and the only one who cares to deal with me is my mother. I’ve put the poor woman through hell and the best way for her to get a long break from me is to take a job that includes travel.
What I don’t expect is finding a much-needed outlet for my endless energy. Pet Play! Where have you been all my life?
Jack: Lonely. Confused. Tired of listening to myself complain. My hands are in more pots than I can keep track of. I need a break. Thankfully, the managers I have in place take care of everything.
Now I can take a cruise and relax. Maybe I’ll look for a boy to have some fun with and get to play daddy. I haven’t had much luck with that lifestyle. I want something long term. Is that too much to ask?
Boy after boy has passed through my life, but none stick. Am I too much for them? Too controlling? Not controlling enough? No one has the answer. Not my therapist, not my last boy, and certainly not me.
Ahoy Daddy! is an MM, Pet Play, a boy who figures out he’s a silly monkey, sweet Daddy tale of two lost souls whose paths cross in the most unsuspecting of places.
Welcome to Pride Cruise 2024!
Where the water is crisp, the men are HOT, and the party has started! Each book is a standalone but feel free and dive in and binge them all. You won’t want to miss a second of their naughty antics. If you think they’re silly when the sun is up, just wait until it goes down.

Luka trades the short-term approval of his lover by helping with a home robbery for the gilded cage of Captain Clarke’s cruise ship. A year of servitude, a court-mandated reprieve from prison, all thanks to his influential father’s deal. Sadly, Luka’s immediate future includes scrubbing the decks and hauling suitcases, a stark contrast to the prison sentence he could have faced alongside his lover, Maleko. Haunted by the ghost of his lover’s absence and his own guilt, Luka grapples with newfound tenderness coming from the least expected person.

A DADDY FOR SUMMER: Miguel
Available for pre-order.
BRINA BRADY
Daddy/boy, Daddy Kink, Age Gap, Hurt to Comfort, Opposites Attract
Miguel Reyes, twenty years old, is a daily victim of gang bullying on the streets of Brooklyn every summer when he returns home from his dorm at Princeton University. This time, the harassment is unrelenting and something bad happens on the street. Fearing that Miguel might end up like his father, who was gunned down at Miguel’s sixth birthday party in front of the young boy, his mother and Uncle Javier send him to the Jersey shore for the summer. Miguel dreams of finding a daddy to protect him.
Shamus O’Malley, twenty-eight, would normally live comfortably above the bar he owns on the boardwalk in Seaside Heights, New Jersey. The night of a traumatic breakup, however, he is seeking sanctuary at a hotel on the boardwalk. There, all his protective instincts are aroused as he encounters a bruised Miguel also checking in.
Luckily for them both, they are assigned rooms next door to each other. Has Shamus found his boy? Has Miguel found his daddy? Is anything that develops between them destined to end the hot summer days?
Miguel is part of A Daddy for Summer, a multi-author series. All the books are standalones. So why not stay and read them all? https://mybook.to/ADaddyForSummer
Seafoam and Saltwater Taffy is Available for Pre-order here: www.amazon.com/Seafoam-Water-Taffy-Layla-Dorine-ebook/dp/B0CQ3W7H5R
Is five months into a relationship too soon to take his boy and his pup on a kink cruise to the Caribbean?
Maybe.
Only Duncan couldn’t resist proposing it to them and letting them decide. The pair have been together for almost a decade and friends for even longer. The bond between them is strong and unshakeable and yet they’ve always longed for a Daddy to come along and love them as fiercely as they love one another. As far as Duncan is concerned, that is the very definition of what he has to offer them.
Ember: lively, little, and completely non-verbal, he was born without the ability to speak, but that doesn’t mean he holds back when he’s passionate about something. Using sign language and a text to speech device, he helps ease the fears of those who visit the reptile and amphibian sanctuary he works at and educate them on the misunderstood animals.
Rusty: fierce yet vulnerable, trapped in a job he hates, he wars with himself about the things he wants versus expectations. He longs to spend his days creating the things he envisions, not doors and window frames, but with no clear path towards making that happen, he’s been spinning his wheels in a place that’s sent his mental health spiraling.
The cruise seems the perfect way to spend his hard-earned vacation days, and if he should happen to find some of the answers he’s been searching for on the high seas with his Daddy and their boy, then that’s the shimmer on the lollipop.
The big, purple, phallic shaped lollipop they intend to use to enhance their fun.

Seeing spirits is one thing, but feeling the pain of their death is an experience best left alone. Restless spirits, a ghost dog, and two men connected to the spirit world. What could go wrong? Bran Tanda works at the hospital morgue despite the fact he can see and hear all the spirits that tend to congregate there. He wants to help them, even if they terrify him with their aggressive tactics to get him to acknowledge their existence.
Jordan Amid is Bran’s assistant. He’s reluctant to interact too much with the dead since he can feel all the pain from their death and the confusion they’re left with. But he’s drawn to work there with Bran, and his ghost dog Buddy. Bran and Jordan are thrown into a world where things are changing, and without their help everyone will suffer the dead. Stronger together than separately, they’ll both need to face their fears and find the strength they’ll need to fight the evil forces that threaten them and all of humanity. #MMParanromal #UrbanFantasy #Necromancer #PsychicEmpath #GayFiction

Stone Under Skin (The Stone Series Book 1)
https://books2read.com/SUSkin Series Link: mybook.to/StoneSeriesAnkit has lived many lifetimes. Once, long ago, he was made of stone and marked with symbols and sigils meant to safeguard him and allow him to protect and serve others. He’s a living gargoyle now, cursed to live as a human; always watching, at all times aware, and constantly searching for his fated one.
While walking home from his job as a librarian, Ethan Lewis is beaten and robbed. Ankit stumbles upon him and instantly recognizes him as the man he’s fated to. He helps him back to his apartment and, after tending his injuries, watches over him.
Fate has woven their lives together for centuries, but in every lifetime, they could never live freely or love each other as Ankit has often dreamed of. To change their destiny, they’ll fight together with other gargoyles and a young watcher who is unaware of the tremendous power she possesses. This will be the last battle against their creator, and they’ll either die fighting for their freedom or survive to live the life they’ve always yearned for. #Paranormal #Paranormalfantasy #gargoyle #elf #mmromance #fatedmates

Better Together

Since being thrown out of his home by his parents, Caden has been struggling to survive on the streets.
He lives in constant fear, stresses over his next meal, and dreads trying to find a safe place to sleep at night. He eventually finds an unlocked car and settles in to sleep, but is soon interrupted when someone steals the car. With little choice but to ride along, Caden soon learns that first impressions aren’t always correct.
Seventeen-year-old Damario has been raising his little brother and sister by himself since his parents were deported. He never knew how hard it was going to be paying the bills and making sure there was always food on the table. Or how hard it would be to hold his family together when they all depended on him to do it. He finds himself stealing cars to make ends meet, but he never expected to find someone sleeping in the back of one of them. And he really didn’t expect this stowaway to change his life.
When Damario brings Caden home, it was supposed to be just for a shower and a hot meal, but he can hardly kick him out onto the streets again. There is no way he could have seen that by saving Caden that night, he was also saving himself. When Damario’s world starts to fall apart, they both realize that the answer to all of their problems is helping each other, and although the world tries to drive them apart, they really are better together. #newadult #YA #gayromance #hurtcomfort

The disturbing disappearance of yet another young, red-haired gal from the Irish Travellers’ Caravan site has everyone on edge. Then Shamus Maguire’s twelve-year-old sister Erin vanishes.
While searching for clues to his sister’s disappearance, Shamus meets Lash Boswell, an older man from a Romani caravan. Lash decides to help Shamus, and they set out together to find the truth about the many disappearances.
Both their families disapprove of openly gay relationships. However, the tarot cards say these two are fated to be together. But to go public with their relationship, both would have family and friends forced to choose who they’ll stay true to, the family or Lash and Shamus.
Can a Romani and an Irish Traveller make their relationship work without alienating their families? More importantly, can they work together to find Erin?

Miguel dreams of finding a daddy to protect him.
Shamus O’Malley, twenty-eight, would normally live comfortably above the bar he owns on the boardwalk in Seaside Heights, New Jersey. The night of a traumatic breakup, however, he is seeking sanctuary at a hotel on the boardwalk. There, all his protective instincts are aroused as he encounters a bruised Miguel also checking in.
Luckily for them both, they are assigned rooms next door to each other. Has Shamus found his boy? Has Miguel found his daddy? Is anything that develops between them destined to end the hot summer days?

Get a job on a cruise ship, she said. It’s perfect for you.
Highly unlikely considering nothing ever has been…
Vale: I’ve been hyper all my life and the only one who cares to deal with me is my mother. I’ve put the poor woman through hell and the best way for her to get a long break from me is to take a job that includes travel.
What I don’t expect is finding a much-needed outlet for my endless energy. Pet Play! Where have you been all my life?
Jack: Lonely. Confused. Tired of listening to myself complain. My hands are in more pots than I can keep track of. I need a break. Thankfully, the managers I have in place take care of everything.
Now I can take a cruise and relax. Maybe I’ll look for a boy to have some fun with and get to play daddy. I haven’t had much luck with that lifestyle. I want something long term. Is that too much to ask?
Boy after boy has passed through my life, but none stick. Am I too much for them? Too controlling? Not controlling enough? No one has the answer. Not my therapist, not my last boy, and certainly not me.
Ahoy Daddy! is an MM, Pet Play, a boy who figures out he’s a silly monkey, sweet Daddy tale of two lost souls whose paths cross in the most unsuspecting of places.
Welcome to Pride Cruise 2024!
Where the water is crisp, the men are HOT, and the party has started! Each book is a standalone but feel free and dive in and binge them all. You won’t want to miss a second of their naughty antics. If you think they’re silly when the sun is up, just wait until it goes down.

Is five months into a relationship too soon to take his boy and his pup on a kink cruise to the Caribbean?
Maybe.
Only Duncan couldn’t resist proposing it to them and letting them decide. The pair have been together for almost a decade and friends for even longer. The bond between them is strong and unshakeable and yet they’ve always longed for a Daddy to come along and love them as fiercely as they love one another. As far as Duncan is concerned, that is the very definition of what he has to offer them.
Ember: lively, little, and completely non-verbal, he was born without the ability to speak, but that doesn’t mean he holds back when he’s passionate about something. Using sign language and a text to speech device, he helps ease the fears of those who visit the reptile and amphibian sanctuary he works at and educate them on the misunderstood animals.
Rusty: fierce yet vulnerable, trapped in a job he hates, he wars with himself about the things he wants versus expectations. He longs to spend his days creating the things he envisions, not doors and window frames, but with no clear path towards making that happen, he’s been spinning his wheels in a place that’s sent his mental health spiraling.
The cruise seems the perfect way to spend his hard-earned vacation days, and if he should happen to find some of the answers he’s been searching for on the high seas with his Daddy and their boy, then that’s the shimmer on the lollipop.
The big, purple, phallic shaped lollipop they intend to use to enhance their fun.

A year of servitude, a court-mandated reprieve from prison, all thanks to his influential father’s deal. Sadly, Luka’s immediate future includes scrubbing the decks and hauling suitcases, a stark contrast to the prison sentence he could have faced alongside his lover, Maleko. Haunted by the ghost of his lover’s absence and his own guilt, Luka grapples with newfound tenderness coming from the least expected person.

Pitch Perfect
https://books2read.com/PitchPerfect
Gage Tennison: I’ve played the role of rockstar for an eternity—or so it seems. Coming off a long tour didn’t help my attitude, either. I should have been writing instead of partaking in the perks. So, while the rest of my band enjoyed a vacation, I was alone in the Adirondacks working. I guess I deserved that.
Everyone suggested a collaborator to push me through my block but it felt like cheating. I’d never needed help before, so why now?
Sometimes help appears when you least expect it. How was I to know the gorgeous man hired as my personal assistant would be exactly what I needed—professionally and personally. It was the latter which shocked me because I didn’t notice men—not like that. Not until a guy with striking gray-blue eyes locked gazes with me and the music we created wasn’t just on paper.
Cain Bennington: I’m very good at my job. I’m organized to a fault which makes me a perfect assistant for the high-end entertainers I work for.
Another secret skill I have is composing music. I hear nuances that others miss and I also understand the theory behind the verses. I might be proficient as an assistant but I shine even brighter as a composer. I’ve never showcased my abilities—until a certain rockstar dropped the challenge into my lap and before the album was completed, I’d fallen for him.
But as the entertainment business discovered my skills as a composer, they also learned a piece of my history I’d hoped to keep hidden. Now I wonder if my past will over-shadow the music we created or the relationship we built.

I’ve been hyper all my life and the only one who knew how or cared to deal with me was my mother. I’d put the poor woman through hell and the best way for her to get a long break from me was to take a job that included travel. Vale Harper, a few weeks at sea, should do the trick and give mom the rest she more than deserved.
What I hadn’t expected to find was a much-needed outlet for my endless energy. Pet Play, where have you been all my life?
Lonely. Confused. Tired of listening to myself complain. Jack Barrett, master of absolutely nothing. My hands were in more pots than I could keep track of. Thankfully, the managers I had in place took care of everything and now all I had left was…me.
Boy after boy passed through my life, but none stuck. Was I too much for them? Too controlling? Not controlling enough? No one had the answer. Not my therapist, not my last boy, and certainly not me.
Ahoy Daddy! is an MM, Pet Play, crazy monkey, sweet Daddy tale of two lost souls whose paths cross in the most unsuspecting of places.
Welcome to Pride Cruise 2024!
Where the water is crisp, the men are HOT, and the party has started! Each book is a standalone but feel free and dive in and binge them all. You won’t want to miss a second of their naughty antics. If you think they’re silly when the sun is up, just wait until it goes down.

“What’d they do, ditch you out here?” Cain asked. “Looks like someone popped you in the mouth too.”
He reached out to touch Lucky’s face, finger coming mere millimeters from his lip before Lucky turned his head away.
“I ditched myself out here,” Lucky muttered, teeth starting to chatter as the winds picked up. He wrapped his arms around himself and shivered. “Seemed like a good idea at the time.”
“If that was your idea of a good plan, I’d hate to see one of your bad ones,” Thorn chuckled gruffly. “One of these days your luck is gonna run out, Lucky.”

“Waffle House?”
“Hell yeah. I’m Bellamy, by the way,” the guy remarked as he swung his leg over the back of the bike and settled on the seat behind Cody. The hand he placed on Cody’s abs made them clench and for a moment, Cody feared he’d embarrass himself, biting back the groan that threatened to burst from his throat. Fuck it had been too long since he’d been touched. Closing his eyes, he took a few deep breaths to steady himself, hoping his voice didn’t betray him when he gave his name.
“I’m Cody.”
“Nice to meet you, Cody, thanks for stopping. When I took this road, I didn’t consider how little use it got. Yours was the first headlight I’d seen in an hour.”
“How many did you see before that?”
“Three, none going as fast as you were, but none of them gave me a second glance, either,” Bellamy remarked over the roar of the engine. Having someone on the back meant he slowed it down considerably, for about a mile, until Bellamy learned in, lips brushing against his ear.
“Do not slow down on my account.”

“Relax.”
If there was ever a word spoken in the human language that had the ability to cause the opposite effect it was intended to, relax was that word. In fact, Saint couldn’t think of a single instance in the history of the word relax where someone had responded to it by calming the fuck down. His brother should know that but judging from the way Mark was kicked back in his chair nursing his beer, he’d clearly forgotten what it was like to have it uttered at him when he was stressed.
“Brutha,” Saint cautioned, slamming his empty bottle on the desk, and taking satisfaction in seeing it shatter, “if you tell me to relax one more time, I’m gonna forget we’re blood and kick your ass to the beach and back.”

https://books2read.com/SUSkin $3.99 when you buy direct on Payhip! Series Link: mybook.to/StoneSeriesAnkit has lived many lifetimes. Once, long ago, he was made of stone and marked with symbols and sigils meant to safeguard him and allow him to protect and serve others. He’s a living gargoyle now, cursed to live as a human; always watching, at all times aware, and constantly searching for his fated one.
While walking home from his job as a librarian, Ethan Lewis is beaten and robbed. Ankit stumbles upon him and instantly recognizes him as the man he’s fated to. He helps him back to his apartment and, after tending his injuries, watches over him.
Fate has woven their lives together for centuries, but in every lifetime, they could never live freely or love each other as Ankit has often dreamed of. To change their destiny, they’ll fight together with other gargoyles and a young watcher who is unaware of the tremendous power she possesses. This will be the last battle against their creator, and they’ll either die fighting for their freedom or survive to live the life they’ve always yearned for. #Paranormal #Paranormalfantasy #gargoyle #elf #mmromance #fatedmates

A Beach Far Away
BL Maxwell
Ryan Stone can’t wait to put his toes in the sand at the famous Bondi Beach. When he arrives after a flight that was far too long, and having not slept or eaten, all he can do is stare out at the beautiful expanse of white sand and blue ocean in awe. And when a blond guy asks him to play footy, he agrees, even if he doesn’t know for sure what that is.
Ollie Hughes thinks a day at the beach is just what he needs to take his mind off work. When he sees the cute but rumpled guy sitting by himself in the sand, he’s drawn to him. The more time they spend together, the less he wants the day to end. They end up spending a few days together, those few days turn into weeks, and neither is ready for their time together to end.
A lot of chemistry, and a little bit of luck make for an interesting day at the beach that both men are reluctant to end. Time and distance could be their biggest obstacle, but maybe some things are just meant to be. #meetcute #vacationromance #mmromance

Alexander Kingston wasn’t destined to lead the East Territory pack, but fate had other ideas. Becoming the next Alpha in his dead brother’s place and managing his father’s expectations is a challenge, one that’s only getting harder with time. When his father, the Alpha is reluctant to accept outside assistance when one of their own is afflicted with a deadly blood disorder, Zander must take a stand against his father or lose another pack member to The Slow Death.
Marrok Blain is part of the North Territory pack. With his unique knowledge of The Slow Death, the debilitating progressive disorder that slowly kills with every shift, he offers help, knowing he’ll be met with resistance from his friend’s pack. What he doesn’t expect is the overwhelming pull to the stubborn yet undeniably gorgeous son of the East Territory Alpha.
Four packs coexisting with rising tensions, and a genetic disorder that reminds them of the common thread that connects them all. Zander and Marrok are the key to an uneasy alliance, or all the packs will suffer.

When an insistent spirit keeps showing up in the middle of the night, he knows he can’t keep it all from Bran any longer. Throwing his spirit from his body is only one of the skills he has, but he’s not sure its time to admit everything yet.
Bran Tanda is finally starting to accept and understand more of his necromancer abilities, but he’s still hesitant to embrace all the powers he knows he possesses, and even though he’s avoided the witches in his mother’s coven his ability is not only one they’re interested in.
Jordan’s family has kept their abilities secret for generations. Mostly to protect themselves from being used in ways that could bring more power to some at the expense of others. Especially when one of those secrets involves the ancient enemy that’s been behind most of the strange happenings around town. Jordan and Bran’s abilities will be tested, along with their relationship. More than their relationship will suffer if they fail.

Cory Wynn has been working on a cruise ship for the past year. He’d never traveled before that, and now he’s seen more of the Caribbean than he even knew existed. He hoped to meet someone to fall in love with while at sea, but so far all he does is work.
When JJ ends up partying late into the night with some of the passengers from a cruise ship, he follows them onboard. But when Cory finds him sleeping in a deckchair after the ship has sailed, he takes him to his cabin. JJ is used to getting his way in everything in life, but he may have met his match in the cruise worker who can’t wait until the next stop to get him off the ship. #oppositesattract #smalltown/city #vacationromance

Dane Jones has been touched by the spirit world. Once his powers were awakened by a cursed object, he tried to find peace with them. But the forces from beyond don’t play by the rules, and soon he’s wondering why he thought he had any hope of control over them.
Griff Warren loves Dane, and no matter how weird things may seem, he’ll always be there for him. But strange occurrences make him question if Dane’s keeping a secret, or if there’s more to the strange marks Dane bears.
Dane and Griff are thrown into more supernatural trouble than they can handle, and Janis, their psychic guide, knows it. She arranges for help from The Running Scared Paranormal guys and two strangers from the morgue, Bran and Jordan. First, they’ll lose their abilities, next they’ll have their powers challenged, and if they can’t stop what has been put into motion, no one will survive. #mmparanormalromance #supernatural #ghosthorror #urbanfantasy #gayromance

Dane Jones works from home with only his three dogs for company. When he stumbles onto a social media page about urban exploring, he’s curious about different sites around Sacramento that seem like they’d be interesting to investigate. He starts chatting with Griff Warren, and after a few conversations he’s even more excited to go.
Griff Warren is also curious about urban exploring, but he has very little interest in experiencing something paranormal. When the guy he’s been chatting with in the online group is so enthusiastic to go, it’s contagious. They plan to go to a warehouse and while there, experience something they can’t explain.
Dane and Griff were looking for an adventure, but they find more than they bargained for at a deserted farmhouse on the river. When Dane finds an old toy discarded in one of the rooms, both of them are thrown into a world neither understands. Full of cursed objects, strange markings, and powers, neither knows how to handle. Lucky for them, Griff’s Friend knows exactly who can help. #MMParanormal, #UrbanFantasy #Friendstolovers #ManInPeril #ForcedProximity #Protector #GhostHorror #ParanormalSuspense

Luckily for them both, they are assigned rooms next door to each other. Has Shamus found his boy? Has Miguel found his daddy? Is anything that develops between them destined to end with the hot summer days?

Keywords: Age Gap, Police Officer, Family Diner Co-owner, Opposites Attract, Families Clashes, Small Town Romance
In the heart of the small town, the Blue Star Diner serves more than just comfort food. Twenty-four-year-old Andrew Star, a brooding co-manager of a family diner with a past, finds himself drawn to Officer Duarte—a man with secrets as dark as the night. Their attraction is electric, but there’s a catch: both men are hiding their true selves. Andrew, scarred by youthful mistakes, yearns for Officer Duarte’s attention. But Officer Duarte, bound by duty and fear, must keep his sexuality hidden to protect everything he holds dear.
As the tension simmers between them, the Star and Duarte families clash. Their feud, fueled by religious differences, threatens to tear apart the very fabric of their lives. Andrew’s cover as a ladies’ man is a fragile shield, while Officer Duarte walks a tightrope between love and survival.
In a small town where acceptance comes at a high price, Andrew and Officer Duarte must navigate forbidden desires, risking everything for a chance at love. But when secrets unravel and loyalties are tested, they’ll discover that the true battle lies within themselves—a battle that could shatter their lives or set them free. Blue Star Diner is a gripping tale of love, sacrifice, and the courage to embrace who they truly are, even when the odds are stacked against them.

Get a job on a cruise ship, they said. It’s perfect for you.
Highly unlikely.
I’ve been hyper all my life and the only one who knew how or cared to deal with me was my mother. I’d put the poor woman through hell and the best way for her to get a long break from me was to take a job that included travel. Vale Harper, two weeks at sea, should do the trick and give mom the rest she more than deserved.
What I hadn’t expected to find was a much-needed outlet for my endless energy. Pet Play, where have you been all my life?
Lonely. Confused. Tired of listening to myself complain. Jack Barrett, master of absolutely nothing. My hands were in more pots than I could keep track of. Thankfully, the managers I had in place took care of everything and now all I had left was…me.
Boy after boy passed through my life, but none stuck. Was I too much for them? Too controlling? Not controlling enough? No one had the answer. Not my therapist, not my last boy, and certainly not me.
Ahoy Daddy! is an MM, Pet Play, crazy monkey, sweet Daddy tale of two lost souls whose paths cross in the most unsuspecting of places.
Welcome to Pride Cruise 2024!
Where the water is crisp, the men are HOT, and the party has started! Each book is a standalone but feel free and dive in and binge them all. You won’t want to miss a second of their naughty antics. If you think they’re silly when the sun is up, just wait until it goes down.

Pitch Perfect
Coming 5/17/2024
https://books2read.com/PitchPerfect
Gage Tennison: I’ve played the role of rockstar for an eternity—or so it seems. Coming off a long tour didn’t help my attitude, either. I should have been writing instead of partaking in the perks. So, while the rest of my band enjoyed a vacation, I was alone in the Adirondacks working. I guess I deserved that.
Everyone suggested a collaborator to push me through my block but it felt like cheating. I’d never needed help before, so why now?
Sometimes help appears when you least expect it. How was I to know the gorgeous man hired as my personal assistant would be exactly what I needed—professionally and personally. It was the latter which shocked me because I didn’t notice men—not like that. Not until a guy with striking gray-blue eyes locked gazes with me and the music we created wasn’t just on paper.
Cain Bennington: I’m very good at my job. I’m organized to a fault which makes me a perfect assistant for the high-end entertainers I work for.
Another secret skill I have is composing music. I hear nuances that others miss and I also understand the theory behind the verses. I might be proficient as an assistant but I shine even brighter as a composer. I’ve never showcased my abilities—until a certain rockstar dropped the challenge into my lap and before the album was completed, I’d fallen for him.
But as the entertainment business discovered my skills as a composer, they also learned a piece of my history I’d hoped to keep hidden. Now I wonder if my past will over-shadow the music we created or the relationship we built.

Snippet
“So why do they call you Night?”
“The question should really be why did I start calling myself that.”
“Okay, so then what’s the answer?”
“What’s the reason they call you Sinn besides your blatantly wicked ways?”
“Easy. My given names Sinclair. It’s nice enough, but it lacks the impact Sinn does.”
“You can say that again,” Night muttered.
“Awe, does the sound of it send your thoughts spiraling towards the gutter.”
“Every damn time I hear it.”
“Good. I like knowing I have some effect on you.”
“More than just some.”
“Enough to answer my question?”
“Yeah, okay, though it’s not nearly as interesting as your explanation.”
“Why not let me be the judge of that?”
“Fine, but don’t say I didn’t warn you,” Night replied as he swirled one of his fries through the massive amount of ketchup he’d squirted all over them. “She was always sayin’ that me and my twin were like night and day. Was pretty clear which of us she though the sun shone out of, so I decided to embrace it.”
“Does she still feel that way about the two of you?”
“Prolly, considering he’s the only one who turns up on visiting day.”

Hi everyone, I reallllly wanted to get this out on Tues but I have been swamped. For every job I check off my list I seem to add two more LOL. I’m just finishing everything for Melting Darkness. Here’s the cover! I’m going to eventually redo all three cove
The first cover is Brennan, the second is Ben, Leon is on the Christmas Short story, and on Melting Darkness is Lucas. It will be live on Amazon this weekend, it takes a bit longer with the wide stores but it will be there.
Here’s the blurb. There’s no buy link becuse it does not have a preorder, when you see it it’s live!
Melting Darkness
Ben and his new mate, Leon, left the safety of Alaska so Leon could learn to live with humans and gain more control over his lust for blood. They arrive in Eureka and stay with Ben’s friends Lucas and Brennan, another mated vampire couple. They plan to slowly expose Leon to humans and let him adjust to the constant need that haunts him.
Lucas has always avoided contact with The Twelve. That changes when Brennan is taken by a group of vampires intent on destroying one mate while capturing the other. After waiting several human lifetimes to find his make, Lucas won’t sit back and lose Brennan. They’re all forced to seek out The Twelve, the ancient vampires who rule over all others.
When they reach the hidden fortress of the Consortium, they soon realize there’s more going on than they ever could have imagined. They’re forced to become the hunters through an unfamiliar landscape where not only are they the predators, but quite possibly the prey. #vampire, #fated mates #Gay paranormal romance

The cold isn’t the only killer in the wilderness.
Benjamin Coulton is a tracker employed by the Consortium, the ruling counsel
of vampires. When he’s sent to investigate a rogue vampire killing indiscriminately in a remote region of Alaska. Bad weather hampers his effort and he loses the vampire he’s been tasked to find.
Leon Davis and his friend Trevor agreed to be winter caretakers for several cabins and a fishing lodge, thinking it would be easy money. They settle into their daily routine of checking the cabins for animal break-ins, or broken water pipes, and prepare for a long winter.
Until a run in with a vampire changes everything.
Ben finds a newly turned vampire left for dead by the rogue vampire, and suddenly Ben’s mission changes course. In the freezing wilderness of Alaska, he uncovers more truths and the mate he’d always longed for… and now the vampire he was tasked to find is hunting them. #MMParanormalRomance #vampire #fatedmate #thriller

Preorder Book Two: https://books2read.com/LWTDSB2
Since Bran Tanda started working at the morgue, his life has changed. He’s spent most of his life denying his necromancer abilities, but now he knows there’s no other choice but to embrace it and learn as much as he can about it. No matter how much he hates it.
Jordan Amid is becoming more comfortable being around the dead. But they still overwhelm him and terrify him. The coldness and the heavy emotions he associates with being near a spirit are nearly too much for him to take. But for Bran, he’ll try.
Bran and Jordan soon realize there is more going on than they understand, and even Janis isn’t sure how to handle what she knows is coming for them. Mysterious markings continue to appear and unless they can learn more from the journals Bran finds at his house, there may be no hope for anyone. #MMParanormal Romance #Urban Fantasy, #Necromancer #Empath
Coming May 23Living With the Dead
Spirit Boys Book Two: https://books2read.com/LWTDSB2
Jordan Amid’s family has always been connected to the other side of the veil, but they follow a long tradition of secrecy, not telling outsiders all they can do. When an insistent spirit keeps showing up in the middle of the night, he knows he can’t keep it all from Bran any longer. Throwing his spirit from his body is only one of the skills he has, but he’s not sure its time to admit everything yet.
Bran Tanda is finally starting to accept and understand more of his necromancer abilities, but he’s still hesitant to embrace all the powers he knows he possesses, and even though he’s avoided the witches in his mother’s coven his ability is not only one they’re interested in.
Jordan’s family has kept their abilities secret for generations. Mostly to protect themselves from being used in ways that could bring more power to some at the expense of others. Especially when one of those secrets involves the ancient enemy that’s been behind most of the strange happenings around town. Jordan and Bran’s abilities will be tested, along with their relationship. More than their relationship will suffer if they fail.
FREE BOOK!This is a short story that was in the Midnight in the Renaissance Elevator Anthology. It’s the first time Dean and Jimbo go on a solo ghost hunt, whether Jimbo wants to or not LOL.
A Creak in The Night
https://books2read.com/ACreakInTheNight
Dean surprises Jimbo with a weekend way to the exotic location of—Virginia. Since the two of them got married Dean has become more curious about the paranormal, while Jimbo prefers to distance himself from it. As soon as they arrive at the hotel Jimbo knows something isn’t quite right, and one ride in the elevator confirms it.
What was supposed to be a romantic vacation soon turns into a ghost hunting mission, but this time Jimbo and Dean are on their own without the rest of the Running Scared Paranormal Research guys. Dean is thrilled, but Jimbo knows, it’s never as simple as a creaky elevator.
Allen Jeffries has finished the second book, I’m just slow with approving it. I haven’t had the time to listen but I will get it done this week. He’s done a great job which wasn’t easy with so many characters.

The Things We Find
BL Maxwell

Some things are better left alone
Dane Jones works from home with only his three dogs for company. When he stumbles onto a social media page about urban exploring, he’s curious about different sites around Sacramento that seem like they’d be interesting to investigate. He starts chatting with Griff Warren, and after a few conversations he’s even more excited to go.
Griff Warren is also curious about urban exploring, but he has very little interest in experiencing something paranormal. When the guy he’s been chatting with in the online group is so enthusiastic to go, it’s contagious. They plan to go to a warehouse and while there, experience something they can’t explain.
Dane and Griff were looking for an adventure, but they find more than they bargained for at a deserted farmhouse on the river. When Dane finds an old toy discarded in one of the rooms, both of them are thrown into a world neither understands. Full of cursed objects, strange markings, and powers, neither knows how to handle. Lucky for them, Griff’s Friend knows exactly who can help. #MMParanormal, #UrbanFantasy #Friendstolovers #ManInPeril #ForcedProximity #Protector #GhostHorror #ParanormalSuspense

JJ Carrington was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. He’s used to flying in business class and spending all his holidays at the nicest resorts in the world. But lately he’s tired of the same vacation over and over again, and the one-night stands that seem to plague him.
Cory Wynn has been working on a cruise ship for the past year. He’d never traveled before that, and now he’s seen more of the Caribbean than he even knew existed. He hoped to meet someone to fall in love with while at sea, but so far all he does is work.
When JJ ends up partying late into the night with some of the passengers from a cruise ship, he follows them onboard. But when Cory finds him sleeping in a deckchair after the ship has sailed, he takes him to his cabin. JJ is used to getting his way in everything in life, but he may have met his match in the cruise worker who can’t wait until the next stop to get him off the ship. #oppositesattract #smalltown/city #vacationromance

Nuts and Bolts

Jack Hulbert has worked at the hardware store Nuts and Bolts since he was sixteen. He had big dreams of leaving town and traveling, but five years later, not much has changed, and he worries he’ll end up living the rest of his life in the small town he was born in.
Hudson Carter has been working in Sacramento for the past ten years, managing a big box store. He left Foggy Basin for college in the city and he never once looked back. His parents have owned the hardware store in town for two generations, and he’d hoped to avoid the same fate, but when his father tells him his plans to either sell the store or close it, he has a change of heart.
Hudson has been single for years, and a few bad breakups have left him jaded about finding the perfect partner. But he’s not prepared for the cute, and much younger man who knows far more than he does about running the hardware store and isn’t afraid to tell him. It’s time for this city boy to embrace his country roots and find out what really matters in his life, and a certain country boy is more than willing to help. #age gap, #city/country, #workplace romance, #small town romance.
