Summary: Some scars are too deep for the eye to see—but not for the heart to feel. Trauma runs deep in Rory's bones—deeper than even the powerful bear spirit that stirs beneath his skin. Abused and broken as a child, he’s grown into an omega who trusts no one and recoils from the gentlest touch. Solitude is his armor. Silence, his only companion. Until Denver walks into his life. Denver has formed a rare connection with him—he can walk through Rory's sleeping mind. The first time he slips into Rory's nightmares by accident, he doesn’t expect to find such raw pain behind the fortress walls. But instead of turning away, he stays … and comforts Rory in the only place he allows anyone close. Night after night, a fragile bond forms between them in the dreamworld—one that begins to bleed into waking life. But Rory's past isn’t done with him, and trust is harder to build than bone. Poignant, powerful, and deeply intimate, Untouchable is a shifter romance about trauma, healing, and the transformative power of connection—both in dreams and in the light of day.

Summary: I've existed for the past century doing the lowly jobs the Family assign me. Reeling from the loss of yet another mortal lover, I jump at the chance to climb the ranks and leave my grief behind. This is the opportunity to be someone, perhaps even to find someone to remain as my loving companion as I face down eternity. I don't expect Fate to throw a curveball in the form of Shannon, a person so pure, I can't help but fall head over heels for him. Unwilling to sully Shannon with the knowledge of our kind, I find I'm also unable to make myself let him go. When I'm called to meet Arrakus, the being from the Void who Made my Father, I discover that this second chance isn't everything I thought it would crack up to be. Assuming the life of the dead too soon River Montgomery was one thing, Bonding physically and mentally to a shape-shifting Kraken was quite another. Keeping Shannon safe is my priority, though, and I know one thing won't change, no matter what. I'll do anything, anything at all, to save him. Warning: These books are for adult readers who enjoy stories where lines between right and wrong get blurry. High heat, twisted and tantalizing, these are not for the fainthearted.

Summary: Angus Donohue doesn’t want to be a warlock. He believes draining demons for magic is evil, but it’s a dangerous opinion to have—his father is a powerful and well-connected warlock, and Angus is expected to follow the family tradition. His only way out is to fail the demon summoning class. Failure means expulsion from the Warlock College. Despite Angus’s best efforts to fumble the summoning, it works. Although not the way anyone expects. Angus’s demon, Saka, is a powerful mage with his own need for a warlock. Saka wants to use Angus in a ritual to rebalance the magic that is being stripped from Demonside by warlocks. If Angus survives his demon’s desires and the perils of Demonside, he’ll have to face the Warlock College and their demands. Angus must choose: obey the College and forget about Demonside or trust Saka and try to fix the damage before it’s too late. Whatever he does, he is in the middle of a war he isn’t qualified to fight.

Summary: You can never judge an academic book by its cover. Simon Dyson, a quiet assistant professor, is a man of hidden depths. To the world he presents as a harmless, innocuous, shy and retiring intellectual. However, the man who lurks behind that public persona is far more interesting … and dangerous … and driven. 'Wheelchair' is a slow-burn contemporary psychological crime thriller about a man who suffers from both OCD and PTSD, a man who is unwittingly caught up in a cross-border war between rival crime gangs—a conflict that almost leads to his death, and more than once. It's a study of compulsion and of disability, and of the many faces of emotional dependence and sexual compulsion. It’s about how some men cannot just love or make love because their hearts or their bodies lead them to it, but who can only connect emotionally and physically through self-imposed rituals which involve struggle or self-abasement.
