Valley Ghosts Book One

Ghost Hunted Wide: 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

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

The Things We Find

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

Living 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.

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.

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

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

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 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. 

 ⋰⋱  ⋰⋱⋰ ⋱⋰⋱  ⋰⋱

Captain Westly John Clarke, an experienced maritime hardliner, enforces the court’s contract with grim adherence. Beneath the surface, something shifts. Luka’s boyish charm chips away at the older man’s icy exterior. Still, he keeps Luka at arm’s length, unable to forget the bitter memories of the young man’s past. As the Captain battles his own awakening heart and hidden secrets, his compass spins out of control, adding to the chaos.

Cover model: Logan Blackthorn

Photographer: Wander Aguiar

Cover artist: Morningstar Ashley

Josh Gray has made bad decisions and regretted them all, but it’s the rock ‘n roll lifestyle, so no problem, right? However, karma is a bitch.

Mistake one…sleeping with the then boyfriend of the lead singer of one of the top bands, Social Sinners, which leads to Josh being fired as Ryder Hampton’s backup guitarist.

Mistake two…signing on with Nicholas Shane Management, who promises a new band that’s the perfect fit. It turns out Nick is dealing dirty, and his company collapses when he’s sent to prison.

Josh’s world is in ruins and starting over is next to impossible. Word gets around that he’s screwed over rock ‘n roll’s poster children, and he can’t get an audition. The future is now an endless stream of empty whisky bottles, and a surly server that no matter how hard Josh tries, refuses to sleep with him.

If you’ve read the Social Sinners or Maiden Voyage series, you’ll understand the tough road that lies ahead for Josh. Is redemption possible, or should he just throw in the towel and walk away once and for all?

Strike a Chord is book one in the Chaotic Abyss rockstar romance series featuring hurt/comfort, second chances, and a bartender who just wants to be left alone.

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.

 Pitch Perfect

Coming 5/17/2024

From Author Ann Lister

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.

After quitting his job, Billie Watts hits all the food festivals he can as he drives across the country. When he finally reaches Stoney Brook, Maine, he’s excited to find he’s there just in time to try one of the lobster rolls he’s heard so much about. The bright neon yellow food truck with a giant red lobster on top looks like the perfect place to try it.

Lance Karl is as ready as he can be for the start of the three-day Tall Ships Festival and hopes to sell enough lobster rolls out of his food truck to make a good start towards owning a restaurant. The day begins cold and misty, and a text from his nephew saying he can’t help him is not the perfect start he’d hoped for.

When a green-eyed stranger interrupts his frantic morning, Lance doesn’t realize meeting Billie will not only change his day, but maybe even the rest of his life.

The four Stroud brothers were all born into magic, and when they all come of age their powers will be revealed. It all sounds like a fairytale, but not all magic is good. Their mother embraced the darkness and paid with her life.

Finn Stroud was happy working on the family farm until the day his father announced it was time for them all to go out and find their place in the world, and their magic. He and his four brothers knew this was the tradition of the Imagi people who were meant to wield elemental magic, but Finn soon finds how ill prepared he was for the real world.

Alwin travels from town to town using his own brand of magic to get what he can from anyone that crosses his path. His luck runs out and he’s left along the side of the road in a rainstorm. Finn offers him shelter and Alwin offers to guide him in the ways of magic, but everything has a price. A dark fairytale retelling of The Four Clever Brothers.

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 #GayFiction

Dead Things (Spirit Boys Book One)

https://books2read.com/DeadThingsSB1

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.

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

BL Maxwell

James McKinney has always lived life alone. He doesn’t have a family, at least none that he remembers. He’s always dreamed of having a house of his own, a place he can call home. Finding the right house, ready to work to make it his home, nothing can put a damper on his happiness, or can it?

Trey Andral, returning home from college, notices someone moving into his old friend’s house next door. Miss Hattie is still waving to him from the bedroom window, even though he knows she’s gone. He also knows he can’t not help the new guy make the house his own.

Trey has always been able to see and hear spirits, but what’s normal to him is terrifying to most others. When the spirits seem intent on contacting James, Trey has no choice but to share his secret, risking their friendship. If they work together, maybe they can figure out what the clues the spirits are giving them mean. And maybe they can find family in each other.

Eli Canton is happier than he’s ever been. He’s living with Randy, the love of his life. They spend their nights getting to know each other better, and baking when they’re not distracted by each other. He’s proud to know Randy’s business is as successful as it is, and he’s more than willing to help him make it even better.

When Valentine’s Day rolls around, both Randy and Eli want to surprise each other. They’ve only been together a few months, but neither can imagine loving someone else the way they love each other. If they can both pull off their plans, Valentine’s Day could be even more exciting than Christmas was, and definitely full of more surprises. #friends to lovers #Gay Romance #Holiday Romance

Looking for a Daddy? Looking for a boy?

This Christmas Party mixer is for you. (Males 18+ only)

This could provide the perfect solution for Blaine and Davie, whose minimum wage job has left them struggling to afford any housing except a dilapidated motel room with a single bed.

It could also provide the perfect solution for Daddy Jacob, a co-sponsor of the mixer who’s decided it’s time to find a boy.

Blaine and Davie are too poor to afford transportation to the mixer, but life in the group home they recently aged out of has made them determined and resourceful, so Blaine bravely calls the number on the poster and explains their problem. Jacob has never had to worry about money and something in Blaine’s honesty intrigues him, so he sends a car for them.

Daddy Jacob immediately knows he wants Blaine, but several things stand in his way. First, there’s a rule that he must mix with all the prospective boys for the five days and only make his choice on Christmas Eve, and second, he has to make Blaine choose him over the other daddies and finally; he knows Blaine won’t abandon Davie without a daddy of his own.

Chaotic Abyss book 1

https://www.books2read.com/Chaotic1

Cover model: Logan Blackthorn

Photographer: Wander Aguiar

Cover artist: Morningstar Ashley

Josh Gray has made bad decisions and regretted them all, but it’s the rock ‘n roll lifestyle, so no problem, right? However, karma is a bitch.

Mistake one…sleeping with the then boyfriend of the lead singer of one of the top bands, Social Sinners, which leads to Josh being fired as Ryder Hampton’s backup guitarist.

Mistake two…signing on with Nicholas Shane Management, who promises a new band that’s the perfect fit. It turns out Nick is dealing dirty, and his company collapses when he’s sent to prison.

Josh’s world is in ruins and starting over is next to impossible. Word gets around that he’s screwed over rock ‘n roll’s poster children, and he can’t get an audition. The future is now an endless stream of empty whisky bottles, and a surly server that no matter how hard Josh tries, refuses to sleep with him.

If you’ve read the Social Sinners or Maiden Voyage series, you’ll understand the tough road that lies ahead for Josh. Is redemption possible, or should he just throw in the towel and walk away once and for all?

Strike a Chord is book one in the Chaotic Abyss rockstar romance series featuring hurt/comfort, second chances, and a bartender who just wants to be left alone.

The Ringmaster Blurb:

The last thing half-fae, half-demon Ringmaster Seven needs is to hold someone captive in his bedroom, no matter how attractive he finds the young man. It’s been ten years since Seven fled the fae courts and found sanctuary in the human realm. He will do anything to protect his circus and found family. So, when Seven wakes up to find a beautiful yet feral creature straddling him and reeking of faerie magic, his only option is to bind the little minx and deal with him later.

Time is running out for Indy. It’s been almost ten years since Indy was cursed. His only hope of breaking the magic is to find his fated mate or lose his human form forever. Seeing no other choice, Indy travels with a magical circus of paranormal creatures. Only, when Indy momentarily gets his human form back, he’s more concerned about getting revenge on the Ringmaster rather than finding love.

Can Sev help Indy break this curse before it’s too late, or will he die trying?

The Ringmaster is an enemies-to-lovers, fated mates, MM paranormal romance. It is part of the Black Cat Circus multi-author series that features found family and a magical cast of characters. Each book can be read as a standalone but is better enjoyed as a series.

Randy Miller wants nothing more than to make a living selling the fantastic cookies he dreams up when he’s not working as a web designer. He’s always loved baking, but he’s afraid of taking the leap from hobby to business. Mostly he’s afraid of failing, and of Eli coming up with a better recipe.

Eli Canton has a crush. A big crush on someone who avoids him whenever he can. Eli loves everything about Randy, even if he’s grouchy and seems to work way too much. Eli knows he’s not all bad and hopes to have a chance with him someday.

A broken oven throws the two of them together, and even though Randy doesn’t want to admit it, he likes the time he spends with Eli. And Eli definitely can’t wait to spend more time with Randy. Now if only they can make it past the annual cookie exchange and possibly Valentine’s Day to their own sweet happy ending. #smalltown Romance, #opposites attract, #MM Romance

Prelude to Love

Music speaks directly to the heart.

Joel is a music teacher who knows it’s time to forget his ex and move on, while Marcus runs a lawn-mowing business and has come to Wellington to escape the reminders of a recent breakup. Although they’re opposites, when Joel and Marcus connect, their romance has the potential to hit all the right notes.

Too bad neither of them feels ready for new love.

With family and friends in common, dating is risky and things could get messy if it doesn’t work out. When the sweet song of possibility draws them towards romance, a Chopin prelude ends in a seductive kiss. But it will take some practice and perseverance to find their perfect harmony…

Author’s note: This is the second edition of Prelude to Love. The first edition was released by another publishing house. This edition has some added content, and has been revised and re-edited with the end result being a better, stronger story. It uses New Zealand spelling to reflect its setting.

Remember Tristan from “Clancy’s Collar”? This book explains the heartbreaking reasons behind his unruly behavior and shifting emotions. We meet the sources of much of his pain and watch as he finds solace in the kind Master John Dunn, who becomes the most significant father figure in his life. 

 Tristan has issues because of his past, and he thinks and behaves younger than his actual age. All he has ever wanted since we met him is to find a loving Dom to collar him. 

Gustavo fits that bill and there is an instant connection between them. Unlike every other man Tristan has been with, Gustavo is completely open and honest with him emotionally and physically, but not completely honest about his family and his reasons for being in Ireland. He understands Tristan and what he needs. 

Gustavo escaped from his father’s shady business in Spain, causing a permanent rift between them. He settled in Galway, Ireland, where he found a new business rescuing horses. His sub chose not to join him, leaving him single and lonely. Seeking some BDSM play with a submissive, he visits the local club. Little did he know, he would find more than he bargained for.

Both Tristan and Gustavo have baggage: exes who refuse to fade away and family that they desperately want to escape. 

When things get tough, Tristan’s emotional pendulum swings wildly, shifting from blaming and resenting Gustavo to blaming himself and believing he’s undeserving of love. HEA.

Age Gap

Russian Mob Boss

Flirting Dancer

Forced Proximity

Daddy/boy

Daddy Kink

Mix-up Gifts

Daniel is in a tight spot. He needs a job as soon as possible to pay for his rent and his motorcycle loan. He loves dancing, but he has a bad habit of flirting with everyone he meets. He lost his last gig at a nightclub because he couldn’t stop flirting and dating his co-workers and customers. He wants a daddy boyfriend more than anything, but he knows he must focus on his career first. He swears to himself that he will stop dating and just dance at his new job at the Glitter Box Club, a notorious gay hotspot for the rich and powerful.

Mr. Baranov is a cold and ruthless man. He runs the Glitter Box Club with an iron fist, and he doesn’t tolerate any mistakes from his employees. He is also a member of a notorious Russian mob family, and everyone in the city knows better than to cross him. He has no interest in romance or commitment. He only dates the dancers at his club for fun, and he makes sure they know it’s nothing serious. He never expects to feel anything for anyone until he saw Daniel Sparks dancing on the bar top.

During the Christmas holidays, Mr. Baranov creates an online auction for employees to bid on gifts. Though the delivery is flawed, it brings about unexpected surprises.

Available on KU, Audio, and Paperback!

Two Daddies for Henry

Daddies and Littles book 2

Cover artist: Covers by Jo

https://books2read.com/TwoDaddiesforHenry

Life for young Henry Adams was lonely, mundane, and just plain sad. His only friend, a unicorn stuffie named Merlin, was always nearby and ready anytime Henry needed a hug. By day, Henry was the owner of Turn the Page bookstore, but at night he was a lonely boy who dreamt of having a Daddy of his own.

Mitchell Blackthorn moved back home after years away, living a grand life in Chicago when his mother fell and broke her hip. When another fall led to a dementia diagnosis, Mitchell turned to his best friend Jensen for support and guidance. What he didn’t expect to find was love.

Jensen Pohler had been head over heels stupidly in love with his best friend Mitchell since the day they met. Mitchell, however, didn’t feel the same. For years Jensen fought the attraction by filling his bed with one boy after another, only to be disappointed in the end when the relationship would fail.

One lost boy, two struggling daddies, and a stuffie named Merlin. Do they have what it takes to make each other whole? To become a family. Or were they wasting their time searching for something that wasn’t there?

Two Dad’s for Henry is a #daddies #littles #MMM, best friends to lovers, hurt/comfort, #agegap, family life romance.

Be My Little Valentine: Shanny’s Surprise

by Layla Dorine

As Happy Holidays gives way to Happy Valentine’s Day, the stockings in the window displays are replaced with hearts: big hearts, little hearts, orange, pink, and purple hearts, candy hearts, paper hearts, heart-shaped pillows, and stuffed teddy bears holding giant heart-shaped messages making declarations of love and loyalty.

Too bad Chocolate makes Shanny hyper, and most flower bouquets make him sneeze. Besides, the sight of them wilting and starting to die has always seemed like the wrong kind of message on Valentine’s Day and the wrong kind of metaphor for love.

He’s messy and a bit of a hot mess all the way around, but he’s got an amazing group of friends who have been more family to him than the one he was born into ever was, though he longs for someone special who won’t mind letting him be the kid he never got to be. He thought that could be Tiny, but lately, his big friend has been frustrated with him.

Can the addition of Riggs, a large, fiercely protective man with a soft spot for misfits, be just the bridge Tiny and Shanny have been missing? Can the fierce pup and the boy he adores find the perfect person to care for them both, or will Rigg’s heart prove to be only be big enough for one of them?

His Primal Kiss is a sexy and swoony monster romance between a protective orc and a sassy human.

Tropes:

• Possessive Orc/ Human Celebrity

Everyone fears orcs and their savage urges.

Maddox: My time with the Goblin Market has ended. I need to find my mate. So, when I hear about a small town where both humans and monsters live together, I’m determined to go.

A seer once told me that my mate is human, but no one mentioned that his fiery passion would call to me on a primal level.

Dani: Being the creator and face of the world’s only monster dating app means that there’s a target on my back. But what happens when my stalker is supernatural? Solution: hire the biggest, baddest, sexiest monster to protect me.

So what if I feel like I can finally be my true self in front of Maddox? So what if I want him to chase me, pin me down, and have his wicked way? As long as the gorgeous orc protects my body, he can have my heart as well.

His Primal Kiss is a sweet and steamy MM monster romance featuring a possessive orc and a flirtatious human seeking protection. It’s part of the Monster Match series and contains its own Happily Ever After. Each book is a standalone, but why don’t you have fun with all our monstrous beasties?

They spend their nights getting to know each other better, and baking when they’re not distracted by each other. He’s proud to know Randy’s business is as successful as it is, and he’s more than willing to help him make it even better.

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 #GayFiction

The four Stroud brothers were all born into magic, and when they all come of age their powers will be revealed. It all sounds like a fairytale, but not all magic is good. Their mother embraced the darkness and paid with her life.

Finn was happy working on the family farm until the day his father said it was time for them all to go out and find their place in the world, and their magic. He and his four brothers knew this was the tradition of the Imagi people who were meant to wield an elemental magic, but Finn soon finds how ill prepared he is for the real world.

Alwin travels from town to town using his own brand of magic to get what he can from anyone that crosses his path. His luck runs out and he’s left along the side of the road in a rainstorm. Finn offers him shelter and Alwin offers to guide him in the ways of magic, but everything has a price. A dark fairytale retelling of The Four Clever Brothers.

A Little Christmas: Blaine’s Secret 

Brina Brady

http:’/books2read.com/u/m0od9W

Billionaire Daddy Orphan Boy Daddy Kink 5-day Xmas Mixer Hurt/Comfort Cuddles Age Gap Secrets 

Looking for a Daddy? Looking for a boy?

This Christmas Party mixer is for you. (Males 18+ only)

This could provide the perfect solution for Blaine and Davie, whose minimum wage job has left them struggling to afford any housing except a dilapidated motel room with a single bed.

It could also provide the perfect solution for Daddy Jacob, a co-sponsor of the mixer who’s decided it’s time to find a boy.

Blaine and Davie are too poor to afford transportation to the mixer, but life in the group home they recently aged out of has made them determined and resourceful, so Blaine bravely calls the number on the poster and explains their problem. Jacob has never had to worry about money and something in Blaine’s honesty intrigues him, so he sends a car for them.

Daddy Jacob immediately knows he wants Blaine, but several things stand in his way. First, there’s a rule ’hat he must mix with all the prospective boys for the five days and only make his choice on Christmas Eve, and second, he has to make Blaine choose him over the other daddies and finally; he knows Blaine won’t abandon Davie without a daddy of his own.

When Blaine reveals a secret, will it further complicate their situation? Can they overcome all these obstacles with the help of some Christmas magic?

ON KU, audio, and paperback!

Each book in A Little Christmas is a standalone. But each boy is silly, unique, lovable, and downright adorable, so why not read them all?

This book is part of A Little Christmas: Season Two 2023 multi-author series with themes loosely based on the classic book A Secret Garden.

Striker Johnson is just out buying lunch for the guys at the shop when he notices the handsome stranger in the parking lot checking over his Harley and looking confused. He approaches him and offers his help.

Alwin travels from town to town using his own brand of magic to get what he can from anyone that crosses his path. His luck runs out and he’s left along the side of the road in a rainstorm. Finn offers him shelter and Alwin offers to guide him in the ways of magic, but everything has a price. A dark fairytale retelling of The Four Clever Brothers.

AUTHOR NEWS!

Fear has no place in her life. She knows her destiny and she’s ready for it.

For Tori Whitlock, it’s personal. Nothing comes before her tornado chase season — not a serial killer, not even the hot FBI agent who’s vowed to save her life. But Detective Jack Mathis plays tough. Ending this case isn’t just his job, it’s his mission. And he finally has the advantage.

He faces Tori’s hostility and objections head-on, interjecting himself into every aspect of her life, and leaving him no time to dwell on his own.

Through the twists and turns of the madman’s game, Tori is forced to adapt to her unwelcome circumstances. Still, she fights Jack’s presence, and her attraction to him as he tries to open doors better left closed.

For Tori and Jack, life and death decisions are part of their jobs. But can they overcome their pasts and realize that there’s a difference between life and living?

Convergence is an enemies-to-lovers redemption story that will have you rooting for their twisted path to happily ever after.

Fighting for Freedom

Raquel Riley

https://books2read.com/FightingAgainstFate

Love is like a roundhouse kick, you never see it coming the second time. 

-Aaron I fell in love with the first guy I got close with. Not out of convenience, but fate. We shared everything—the same apartment, the same trainer, the same gym, and ultimately, the same dream—to become famous and successful UFC fighters. But the reality was much different from the dream. It was a bitter pill to swallow knowing that if we wanted to find success, we couldn’t do it as lovers. 

I only found the strength to walk away from him because my drive to succeed was greater than my need to be loved. Or so I thought… 

-Cortez Once upon a time I was a fool in love. A naïve kid with starry eyes. I thought being a great fighter was all it would take to launch me to the top. I had so much to learn. And the hardest lesson of all was finding out the one man I thought I could trust, who would never betray me, could rip my heart from my chest and crush it in his fist like I never meant anything to him. 

Lesson learned. Don’t shit where you eat. Don’t sleep with your coworkers. And above all, don’t ever fall in love with your rival opponent…again.

A Little Christmas: Blaine’s Secret 

Brina Brady

http:’/books2read.com/u/m0od9W

Billionaire Daddy Orphan Boy Daddy Kink 5-day Xmas Mixer Hurt/Comfort Cuddles Age Gap Secrets 

Looking for a Daddy? Looking for a boy?

This Christmas Party mixer is for you. (Males 18+ only)

This could provide the perfect solution for Blaine and Davie, whose minimum wage job has left them struggling to afford any housing except a dilapidated motel room with a single bed.

It could also provide the perfect solution for Daddy Jacob, a co-sponsor of the mixer who’s decided it’s time to find a boy.

Blaine and Davie are too poor to afford transportation to the mixer, but life in the group home they recently aged out of has made them determined and resourceful, so Blaine bravely calls the number on the poster and explains their problem. Jacob has never had to worry about money and something in Blaine’s honesty intrigues him, so he sends a car for them.

Daddy Jacob immediately knows he wants Blaine, but several things stand in his way. First, there’s a rule ’hat he must mix with all the prospective boys for the five days and only make his choice on Christmas Eve, and second, he has to make Blaine choose him over the other daddies and finally; he knows Blaine won’t abandon Davie without a daddy of his own.

When Blaine reveals a secret, will it further complicate their situation? Can they overcome all these obstacles with the help of some Christmas magic?

ON KU, audio, and paperback!

Each book in A Little Christmas is a standalone. But each boy is silly, unique, lovable, and downright adorable, so why not read them all?

This book is part of A Little Christmas: Season Two 2023 multi-author series with themes loosely based on the classic book A Secret Garden.

Josh Gray has made bad decisions and regretted them all, but it’s the rock ‘n roll lifestyle, so no problem, right? However, karma is a bitch.

Mistake one…sleeping with the then boyfriend of the lead singer of one of the top bands, Social Sinners, which leads to Josh being fired as Ryder Hampton’s backup guitarist.

Mistake two…signing on with Nicholas Shane Management, who promises a new band that’s the perfect fit. It turns out Nick is dealing dirty, and his company collapses when he’s sent to prison.

Josh’s world is in ruins and starting over is next to impossible. Word gets around that he’s screwed over rock ‘n roll’s poster children, and he can’t get an audition. The future is now an endless stream of empty whisky bottles, and a surly server that no matter how hard Josh tries, refuses to sleep with him.

If you’ve read the Social Sinners or Maiden Voyage series, you’ll understand the tough road that lies ahead for Josh. Is redemption possible, or should he just throw in the towel and walk away once and for all?

Peppermint Mocha Kisses

Book One: https://books2read.com/PMKisses 

Randy Miller is living his dream come true. His cookie business has taken off since he started it just before Christmas, and he’s in love. He never thought he’d find the love he’d always dreamed of with someone he’d known his whole life, and who he’d always thought of as competition.

Eli Canton is happier than he’s ever been. He’s living with Randy, the love of his life. They spend their nights getting to know each other better, and baking when they’re not distracted by each other. He’s proud to know Randy’s business is as successful as it is, and he’s more than willing to help him make it even better.

When Valentine’s Day rolls around, both Randy and Eli want to surprise each other. They’ve only been together a few months, but neither can imagine loving someone else the way they love each other. If they can both pull off their plans, Valentine’s Day could be even more exciting than Christmas was, and definitely full of more surprises. #friends to lovers #Gay Romance #Holiday Romance

Weekly Update!

Hi everyone, I’m so ready for Sugar and Spice Kisses to be live! Amazon in it’s infinite wisdom has put it in the following categories, Parenting and Relationships and Romanctic Suspense. It’s also in Gay Romance so they did get that right LOL. It’s actually a sweet and spicy romance between two guys who love to bake. Here’s a sneak peek.

***ADULT CONTENT WARNING***

High in the Sierra, in the small town of Donner, my boyfriend and I were working hard to stay warm under a heavy blanket of winter snow. Not really. It was toasty warm in the small apartment we now shared that was connected to Randy’s parents’ house.

Randy writhed under me as I pounded into him. “Ugh,” he grunted, and pushed back hard against me while grabbing my ass.

“Randy,” I whispered, and trailed my lips along his neck. My hands glided up his arms until my fingers wove with his and I clasped his hands. His back arched but his legs were still locked around my waist as I continued in all my efforts to drive him as close to the edge without letting him fall.

“Eli, please,” he pleaded, as sweat broke out across his brow. Looking down on him I couldn’t believe he was mine. I’d wanted him for so long, and it felt like he was a dream that would never come true, but over the past year that had changed.

Loosening my grip on one of his hands I slowly grazed my fingers down his body and reached for his dick. He was so hard it looked painful, but I knew as soon as I touched him, he’d find sweet relief. I leaned in for one more kiss before gripping him, and after only one stroke he came. The sensations overwhelmed me, and I tumbled right along behind him.

We’d taken so long to finally be together, not because we wanted to but because Randy broke his leg and had a full cast up to his hip. That didn’t stop us from doing other things.

Randy Miller wants nothing more than to make a living selling the fantastic cookies he dreams up when he’s not working as a web designer. He’s always loved baking, but he’s afraid of taking the leap from hobby to business. Mostly he’s afraid of failing, and of Eli coming up with a better recipe.

Eli Canton has a crush. A big crush on someone who avoids him whenever he can. Eli loves everything about Randy, even if he’s grouchy and seems to work way too much. Eli knows he’s not all bad and hopes to have a chance with him someday.

A broken oven throws the two of them together, and even though Randy doesn’t want to admit it, he likes the time he spends with Eli. And Eli definitely can’t wait to spend more time with Randy. Now if only they can make it past the annual cookie exchange and possibly Valentine’s Day to their own sweet happy ending. #smalltown Romance, #opposites attract, #MM Romance

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 #GayRomance
