A Coyote for Christmas

by Geneva Vand

COMING SOON

Blake wasn't expecting to be wooed by someone playing Secret Santa twelve-days-of-Christmas style, but he certainly isn't complaining. Presents are fun after all, especially when your Secret Santa seems to know all your favorites. Things get a little more mysterious when the gifts begin matching the oddly friendly coyote that's started hanging out on his porch. Blake can't help thinking fanciful thoughts, but shifters don’t actually exist...do they?

Summary: Pursued by angels for a crime she didn't commit. Goddess turned muse Melinda Grace is on the run. She realises after the death of her client — renowned sculptor, Misha Drake — that she's the only likely suspect. Drake wasn't just murdered — his soul was ripped apart, and only an enormously powerful being could've killed him. Facing the prospect of hiding out indefinitely or handing herself over, Melinda also feels driven to solve the crime. Seraphim Aurelia is under orders to work with the Archangel Raphael in bringing Drake's killer to justice. Part of her mandate is to pursue the absent goddess Melinda, who is now the prime suspect in the case. This brings her to the city of New York — a hub for the supernatural community — and on course to cross paths with the runaway goddess. She isn't sure what she'll find, but she couldn't have expected to fall in love. Goddess of Mischief is a F/F urban fantasy romance novella that contains steamy content. Please note: Goddess of Mischief appeared in the Castings and Curses anthology during its limited run.

Summary: Theater professor Byron didn’t expect to meet a Broadway legend, much less to be saved from a fall off a curb, while his date walked on with a group of friends. By the time Byron and Cole were properly introduced, JoJo was halfway down the block with his gang, heading to another club. Byron sent a text and went to dinner with Cole instead. The next morning, it was clear that something needed to change. Cole was fascinated by his new man’s not-quite-previous relationship, and not at all averse to meeting the much-younger actor. Cole was new to LA, but he had a lot of connections in the industry; if JoJo needed a hand, why not offer one? Especially when it became clear that Byron wasn’t ready to pull the plug completely. Byron’s mild case of breakup guilt got serious when he and Cole learned exactly how JoJo was getting by. Between the two of them, they could make up for some of the ways Byron had failed the younger man. And along the way, they discovered that JoJo was just what the two of them needed. The only question was, did he need them the same way?
