Summary: “I am one of the few gods in the pantheon who wasn’t even given a wife in fiction because I was so horrible.” Ares, ancient God of War and Courage, felt as if his life was in limbo.

But Ares was just marking each day with nothing to look forward to, or to enjoy. Until he got a text from his security company that was monitoring the cameras at his Boston house. What he saw on the feed was intriguing enough to have him thinking a spot of time on earth was a good idea. "If I worried about things like that, I’d be sleeping under a rock and I’d never stick my nose out, even at nighttime in case the moon laughed at me.” Marty, racoon shifter and eternal optimist had found a stash of strawberries. He knew he was taking a risk, he knew there could always be a chance he'd be run off from his little encampment, but those strawberries were too tempting to ignore.

How on earth did I get friend-zoned when we’re supposed to be mates? These two were a mismatch from the start, but the Fates always know what they are doing. Ares had a lot to learn about changing his attitude, and Marty was the perfect person to help with that. But even Marty had his limits. Would Ares drive his mate away like he had everyone else, or was Marty worth changing for. Maybe those strawberries were magical after all. Strawberries to Share: Ares Story, is an MM Paranormal Fated Mates Story which includes mpreg. Although it is part of The Gods Made Me Do It series, it can be read as a standalone. If you're in the mood for a low angst story with a guaranteed HEA, then perhaps Ares' and Marty's story can leave you with a smile.

Summary: If Sūnder Alārd had been born female he would have been cherished for being Faeborn—born with magick—and his birth celebrated. Instead, the L'fÿn insisted on his death. Only his Panthrÿn father's desperate escape saved him. With most Chándariāns uneasy in his presence due to whispers that he is doomed to become a darksoul, and unlikely to find a mate because of it, Sunder has nevertheless carved out an honorable existence as a warrior and commander. Now bodyguard and chaperone for the Chándariān prince, Sūnder attends the annual mating festival on Earth with his charge. He can't help but be fascinated by Gabriel St. Baptista, the tongue-tied nurse he meets after the prince's accident.   When he was sixteen, Gabe came home to discover his parents had headed out into space, leaving him behind. Gabe never recovered from the unexpected desertion and keeps everyone at arm's length to avoid being abandoned again. However, after meeting Sūnder, Gabe finds himself unable to resist the bond between them and breaks all of his carefully crafted rules to spend time with the Chándariān—regardless of the fact that Sūnder will soon leave Earth. Scared by how fast he is falling for Sūnder, Gabe just hopes his heart won't be too broken when Sūnder leaves.   Neither expects the deceit and treachery stalking them, and when Gabe saves Sūnder's life, it sets off a chain of events that could either tear Gabe and Sūnder apart—or give them both exactly what they want.
