Summary: Stefan de Marco was looking for a position... again. Being a high scoring magical anchor was only useful in his world when he had someone to partner with. His slender body and elfin looks meant he was usually only chosen to anchor people who believed his duties should extend well past working hours, and that wasn't something Stefan was interested in. Taking a chance on a pleasant man he met at the Magic Council job board one day, Stefan finds himself in the upmarket side of town, but as he listened to a gruff voice in an adjoining room, he had a horrible feeling he was making another mistake... or was he? Lucifer Fireborn never claimed to be a nice person. Working as the Lead Steward for the Magic Council, it was his job to track down criminal magic users and bring them to justice. Finding out that Darwin, his younger brother and long-term anchor, had gone and allowed himself to be claimed by his magical mate was the sort of annoying distraction he didn't need. Especially when he receives word Technic, a criminal he has been tracking for three years has surfaced in Cairo. Darwin recommends Stefan as a suitable anchor, but in Lucifer's head the man is too young, too pretty and would prove too much of a distraction. Shootings, fires, and kidnapping are all in a day's work for someone like Lucifer, but when sparks of a different kind start igniting between Lucifer and his new anchor, he feels the Fates have an agenda of their own. Can Lucifer and Stefan find the bad guy and win the day, or will Technic have the last laugh after all.

Summary: NOTE: This is an expanded, revised version of a previously published work. The title and publisher have changed. Newly single Tyler Williams ought to be out partying every night, sampling the buffet of gay men Toronto has to offer. Carefree and casual has never been his style, even less so now that he's a tenure track history professor approaching thirty, but he has a better chance of finding Mr. Right in a club than on an app.Distraction from his dismal love life comes in the form of a housewarming gift – a life sized portrait of a gorgeous naked man, complete with a mystery. Maxwell Friedland, a Depression-era artist, went missing shortly after posing for the portrait, presumably murdered by his lover. Finding out more about Maxwell and his disappearance plays right into Tyler’s love of both history and murder mysteries, but before long, Tyler finds himself obsessed with the man in the painting. It’s not long before he starts treating Max like a silent companion and sounding board. Max doesn’t judge or tell him he’s a failure at dating or cheat on him. Everything he learns about Max makes him yearn for a man long dead. Trapped in the painting by a curse, Max has spent decades longing for oblivion. Until Tyler. Tyler is everything Max would have wanted for himself, and it doesn’t take many of Tyler’s one-sided conversations for Max to start caring more than he should. For all that Tyler has friends and family, there’s a deep-seated loneliness in him, one that Max wants to erase. But the thickness of canvas trapping him might as well be miles of stone for all that Max could be with Tyler for real. Falling in love might be the worst curse of all.

Summary: “Someone has opened my box?” His voice was barely a whisper. “While I wasn’t there?” Hellhound Kolton was having a rough couple of months. After the person he thought was his mate died in hospital, Kolton didn't know which way was up, or what he was meant to do next. So finding out from Lord Hades that his collar box, the one mate indicator that hellhounds could rely on, had been opened in his absence, was a huge shock. While he was inclined to just zap his box back to its hiding place and worry about it later, Lord Hades was adamant it was up to him to track down the person who would be his mate forever. Is my mate a thief, or does he just have really expensive tastes? Doctor Simon Teeg had been going through hell for the past month, watching the man he knew was his mate care for another terminally ill patient. When the young man dies, and the mate disappears from the hospital, all Simon is left with is a box with a fancy - and very big - collar inside. It certainly wasn't a situation Simon could ever claim to have been in before. “Your mate should be the one you turn to when times get tough. They will want to help you. That’s what mates do..." The situation wasn't ideal from the start, but Kolton and Simon did their best to make things work. Kolton worried that his bonds with Simon would never be like the ones he saw among his pack mates because Simon didn't need protecting or saving from anyone - and yet protecting was the core of who he was. Meanwhile Simon was hiding a huge secret that had serious ramifications about the core of who he was as well. Would they ever be on the same page? And what do eggs have to do with anything? This mpreg MM Paranormal Fated Mates story can be read as standalone. It features a hellhound flying, cameo appearances from Lord Hades and Consort Ali (from The Gods Made Me Do It series), and enough wine bottles to sink a gargoyle. As always this story is intended for adults. Please store your ebooks responsibly.

Summary: In one day, Dylan’s whole life was destroyed. In one night, he may have found the beginnings of a new one. Still grappling with the loss of his home, Dylan has no choice but to head for Wintervale. His one solace is in travelling the same direction taken by the enemy. But the truth behind the attack on the spellster tower suggests things aren’t as clear-cut and the enemy may well be closer than they thought. Crossing the kingdom also means remaining in the presence of Tracker, the King’s Hound who Dylan’s repressed desire refuses to let out of his head. The man’s gentle protectiveness, coupled with his flirting, certainly doesn’t help. It taunts him with ideas of the night they shared in the tower becoming something more, a thought that is no less ridiculous than remaining unleashed. After all, it’s a hound’s job to escort or kill spellsters. They do not disobey orders. They do not falter. And they do not fall. Especially not in love.
