Summary: Dex Wells, former deputy of the prairie town of Belkin’s Pass, awakes to the sound of screaming. He is chained to the wall of a cave, prisoner of the powerful vampire Balthazar, who has turned many of the residents of Belkin’s Pass into vampires like him, and used most others as food. Balthazar keeps Dex as bait, hoping to lure Dex’s lover, Josh Stanton, into the caves and capture him. There is something different about Josh, Balthazar senses it, but what that difference is he can’t quite tell. Josh Stanton can raise the dead. It’s a power he’s always had within him, and something he’s considered a curse. Now, however, he’s discovered that the risen dead can bite through vampire skin and bones. If he can just learn to control the power and, with it, the dead he’s resurrected, he might be able to save his lover, Dex, from Balthazar’s caves. But there’s still a bounty on Josh’s head for a murder he did not commit, and he ends up back in Belkin’s Pass with Glory, a half Indian, half white former saloon girl watched over by a Native American spirit. Together, they gather the few residents left alive and make a stand against the rampaging vampires and the wolves under their control. The arrival of two members of the US Army, however, throws their careful plans into uncertainty as Josh is taken into custody. Can he convince the Army men the truth of their outrageous claims? And can Dex be saved before Balthazar turns him into a vampire as well?

Summary: Their love could save the realm, except they hate each other. When Eldrich, the king's physician, stumbles onto his predecessor's doorstep in a pool of his own blood, he's grateful for the patch job. He doesn't appreciate being robbed. He needs the stolen artifact to prevent regicide, and his professional rival-turned-criminal stands in his way. Everyone labels Julian a former king's physician. That's ridiculous. Physicians know magic, while Julian knows magic doesn't exist. Eldrich is a gorgeous distraction, though. When Julian detains him under suspicion of poisoning the king, it's only natural they monitor the king's recovery and acquaint themselves with one cot to spare. Only elves can defeat the blood mage stealing their power. Julian's elven collaborators have given up hope on finding their fated mates after a century of searching. It's up to Julian and Eldrich to remind them of the power of love with their unlikely tryst. Stone of Power is epic fantasy with a male/male enemies to lovers romance and contains a trickster who has lost his magic, an uptight physician who does everything by the book, a fickle goddess, a vague prophecy, and two elves waiting for their yet-to-be-met fated mates. SoP is a heady mix of mystery-solving elves and romantic humans who hate each other (until they don't) and takes place 100 years before Circles of Light, the start of the elves' romances. The six books in the Farbonnur Elves series are best read in order with a guaranteed happily ever after at the end of the series. The humans' story was previously published as a 35,000 word novella, The King's Physician.

Summary: No one guessed the zombies would reach our rural town so fast. We thought we had time. We believed we were safe. It was pure chance that I found Russ by the side of the road the day our world fell apart. The first boy I ever loved was hardly my first choice for riding out the apocalypse with. But he wasn't my last choice either. Thing is, the business of surviving the end times gets lonely. None of us can go back to before the zombies shattered our illusions of safety. And that goes double for Russ and me. Our relationship ended long before the virus changed everything. The bonds of the family we've built from the ashes of society mean more than taking a second chance at romance. True love doesn't mean much when heartbreak could be the distraction that gets us all killed out in the wilds. Still, with the gnawing fear of a fate worse than death as a constant companion, it's easy to seek comfort in old habits. Russ doesn't make it easy to keep my emotional distance, but we get by on furtive moments stolen together. Until our niece gets sick and we're her best shot at a cure. Only, it turns out our situation is even more dire than we knew, and in exchange for saving Lily, we're sent on a hopeless mission. I'm not sure which is worse, facing certain death, or watching the man I can't have risk everything by my side. CW: This book contains mention of pregnancy/infant loss, allusions to trafficking, violence, gore, body horror/zombies. The Willows is a part of the Final Days MM romance multiauthor series. Each apocalyptic book can be read as a standalone, but there are more thrilling zombie tales to enjoy, so why not grab them all?!
