Summary: “I would never hurt you… Please don’t flinch like that. You need to come with me, that’s all, and for that I need to touch you.” Hellhound Faron wasn’t expecting anything when he went to his local diner for a meal before heading home. He might have privately hoped that he could catch sight of his favorite chef, Patrick, but the food was worth eating anyway. What he doesn’t expect, when he’s finished his meal, was to find Patrick sitting in a rusty truck at the back of the diner parking lot, with tears and bruises covering his face. Faron had to do something. “…when I went to get out of the truck, the coma kicked in. This is all a coma-induced dream. It’s amazing.” Patrick Duncan didn’t expect his favorite hottie from the diner to find him crying in a rusty truck, and he definitely didn’t expect to collapse in a coma-dream straight afterward. But that had to have been what had happened to him. How else could he find himself in Scotland, having a wonderful meal and being taken on a walk to find a magical tree. Dreams quickly became reality and Patrick has a lot of adjustments to make finding out he’s the mate of a hellhound. Shadow puppies aside, Faron still wants to deal with the man responsible for Patrick’s bruises. Unfortunately, that wasn’t as easy as it sounded. And what was the message Patrick’s dead Mom trying to send Patrick in relation to his magic? Magic Patrick didn’t think he even had. As with all of my stories, your HEA is guaranteed. It’s not imperative to read the other books in this series before this one, but it helps to get a handle on the secondary characters that populate these pages.

Summary: DOA becomes BRB when this client goes MIA… When I agreed to accompany my selkie boyfriend on a private boat trip, I didn’t realize the invitation included a swim. In the Pacific. In November. Naked. And I certainly didn’t expect to have our swim derailed the instant I got in the water—holy crap, that’s c-c-cold—by a literal boatload of selkie clan leaders. Climbing out of the water in front of them—did I mention naked? Yeah, way to make a brilliant first impression. Then things get worse: I get served. Not in the metaphorical sense, either. Nope, I’m being sued. By Death. Well, not Death precisely, but an Ankou—a Celtic psychopomp who escorts the departed to their final destinations. This guy is miffed that his workload has increased exponentially, which he blames on my actions in Sheol on an earlier case. I’m not about to take the heat when eons of shady demon shenanigans finally come home to roost, but here at Quest Investigations, we aid any and all supernatural folk in need—especially if they’ll drop their specious lawsuits against the agency’s lone human. When the Ankou skips out on us, though, all hell breaks loose. Because without anyone to lead them on, the dearly departed become nearly departed and stick around to party hearty. Now it’s not just the selkie leaders complicating my love life—it’s the ex-living as well. And when one of the ex-living decides not to remain ex? Things get really complicated, not to mention deadly. Dammit. Death on Denial is the fourth in the Quest Investigations M/M mystery series, a spinoff of E.J. Russell’s Mythmatched paranormal rom-com story world. It contains no on-page sex or violence, and although there is a romantic subplot, it is not a romance. The series is best read in order.
