Now that Shane Templar has stripped the armour from Matt Langer’s heart, will either of them ever be safe again?

Though two years past, Matthew Langer is still getting over the death of a loved one. He’s steered clear of serious relationships, but when he meets the irascible, dirty mouthed and tempestuous Shane Templar that decision has never been harder. Shane is sexy, warm and funny, and Matthew finds himself trying like hell not to fall for him. Especially when Shane, with his quick wit and hacking skills, is quick to stand up for justice and avenge wrongs. Then Shane strikes at the wrong target, and Matthew realises just how far he’s already fallen. At the threat of losing for good yet another man who has broken through his armour, Matthew finds his heart stripped bare. He must face the demons of his soul or a future without love.

About the Author

A writer, a coffee drinker, a Brit oozing sarcasm, with a passion for all things books.

I write steamy, heartfelt and often dark romance featuring unforgettable LGBTQ+ characters, found family, and love that refuses to behave. I'm also an award-winning screenwriter with ten awards for my screenplay Sight Unseen. I'm a member of the Society of Authors and the Authors Guild.

Interesting facts. My family and I were chased by a rhino on a dusty Kenyan road. I was once mistaken for a prostitute in Johannesburg (hilarious story). I got kicked out of a youth club for encouraging free thinking. Oh yes, and my aunt Delia was once engaged to Cliff Richard.

Summary: Every night the monsters hunt. A city that is the whole world: Theosophy and her companions in the City militia do their best to protect the civilians from the monsters, but they keep crawling from the Rift and there’s nowhere to run. Theosophy knows she’ll die fighting. It’s the best kind of death she’s seen, and at least she can save lives in the meantime. They say the Scarred carve you up while you’re still alive. A village in the shadow of a forest: Refugees from the border whisper about the oncoming Scarred, but Briony can’t convince her brother to relocate his children to safety. Briony will do anything to protect them. She owes them that much, even if it means turning to forbidden magic. When Theosophy and Briony accidentally make contact across the boundaries of their worlds, they realize that solutions might finally be within reach. A world beyond the City would give Theosophy’s people an escape, and the City’s warriors could help Briony protect her family from the Scarred. Each woman sees in the other a strength she lacks—and maybe something more. All they need to do is find a way across the dimensions to each other before their enemies close in.

Summary: Rainbow Award Finalist for Contemporary Romance A burned out salary man and a comfort worker, both grieving, in need of a second chance at happiness… Koji’s boss forces him to take a vacation before he destroys his health. Driven to satisfy everyone’s expectations except his own, Koji is on the verge of fainting. He has just enough energy to make one request of his boss: let him choose the place where he’ll take his forced vacation. There’s one place, a hotel for gay men he’s heard of but never dared to try, nestled in Shinjuku, Tokyo’s swanky gay quarter. To ensure Koji actually does it, he has Koji make the reservation then and there, and has him escorted out into a taxi. His attendant, Naoto, is everything Koji has ever fantasized about… in strict secrecy. But Naoto’s healing hands and kindness unleash the beginnings of the inner freedom Koji has been craving his whole life. But the pull of duty is woven into Koji’s very DNA, as is guilt toward his father who blames him for his own loneliness. Naoto is still grieving the tragic death of his partner when he’s asked to tend to the new arrival. He has a soft spot for men desperately in need of comfort and looking after Koji becomes the comfort his own heart has needed for so long. For the first time in three years, Naoto feels the call of life and passion. Unfortunately, the man who’s awakened it seems not so ready to give up the very forces that almost destroyed his body, as they’re destroying his chances at happiness. What will happen when the week is over? Is it really possible to just go on with life as normal when everything both men have ever yearned for is just within their grasp?
