Summary: A ritualistic killer is stealing the souls of innocent people. For years, Ollie lived as an outcast mage because an ancestor made a stupid decision to play around with dark magic. Now he just wants to run his mother’s magic shop in peace. But a vision from a ghost—the soul being pulled from a man by a dark entity—says that’s not going to happen. A lone werewolf in the big city assigned to a case involving mages—and he hates mages. Homicide detective Adrian Keller is assigned to a case that stinks of magic. With the scars of the last time he dealt with a mage too deep, he’s all too familiar with the dangers of magic. So, when a nosy mage, Ollie, shows up at his crime scene, Adrian is about to go fur and claws. But this mage has answers, and though he doesn’t like it, Adrian knows where magic is concerned, he’s out of his league. A shaky alliance causes sparks to fly—in more ways than just magic. The body count rises, and their uneasy alliance is tested. This is more than just a serial killer hunting souls—something much darker is happening in Chicago. Stealing souls is just the beginning. If they don’t find a way to stop it, things are going from bad to worse. Ollie and Adrian are forced to confront the dark specter of their pasts and a much larger conspiracy working within the magic community—even as they face the undeniable attraction they have for each other. The Ritual of the Broken could break them all. Ritual of the Broken is a gay urban fantasy story packed with a ghost, mages, a usually angry werewolf, spells and curses, demons, and a chance at love between two guys not that well made for one another.

Summary: Nathan Fitzroy hates the holidays. Estranged from his family for refusing to marry, he’s still expected to keep up appearances, which means attending their holiday celebrations. And that means that, from the beginning of December until the middle of January, he needs to find work that will let him take off almost as many days as he works there. For him, that means working at a molly house called the Goat’s Horn. Owen Landon was quite content to be a stone cutter. It was what he’d trained for, and it earned him enough money to pay his brother’s school fees and still live comfortably enough in a cottage in their village. He’d always been told his father was distantly related to nobility, but he’d never thought much of it, until a solicitor came to tell him he was the new Earl of Morebrook, a position he has no idea how to fill. One night in December, when Owen can’t stand his new role another moment, he sneaks away to the seediest molly house he can find, the Goat’s Horn, for a distraction. And find one he does, a beautiful fellow with just the accent and bearing he’s supposed to be learning. When he sees the man again away from the molly house, he comes up with a plan to both spend more time with him and learn to be an earl. Owen offers him a position tutoring him before the start of the Christmas parties he’s supposed to attend. Nathan’s worst nightmare comes true when one of the clients of the Goat’s Horn recognizes him outside of the molly house. But the man offers him a position that will allow him to earn money away from the Goat’s Horn until Christmas. If only he can remember he’s supposed to be tutoring the fellow, not bedding him, and certainly not falling in love with him. A steamy Christmas romance with hints of Pygmalion. Approx. 50,000 words, 200 pages
