Summary: Sam and Ulysses have finally moved in together. Unfortunately, the new apartment is not quite the safe haven they'd hoped for--their neighbors have a ghost problem, and the building has a spider infestation. To make matters more complicated, Ulysses's brother Laz is back from the war, and he's not happy about Sam's presence in Ulysses's life. Laz's anger isn't their only challenge. When their magical bond starts acting up, Ulysses's increasing discomfort and attempts to fix it drive a wedge between him and Sam just when it becomes apparent that the spiders are no accident and a shadowy cult may mean them harm. Maybe they're not done with Sam's grandfather, Julius Sterling, after all.

Summary: War made them enemies. Could they ever be anything more? The war has not been kind to Elijah Fulton, Major in the Continental army. After nearly losing his leg during the Battle of Monmouth, he returned to his home in Pennsylvania only to discover his herd of livestock severely diminished and his ability to continue his trade in textiles nearly impossible. He can only be thankful that his horse, Hercules, wasn't killed. As he works to rebuild his life in the ever-present shadow of war, he learns he is to help keep an eye on a group of prisoners captured at Yorktown and brought to town for an unspecified amount of time. Among those soldiers is an officer who is to be given a place in Elijah's home until the prisoners leave. All Colonel Benjamin Edmonds wants to do is return to England with his steadfast horse, Achilles, and what remains of his regiment. Between the battles, disease, and desertion, his force has dwindled and so has his tolerance of war. He can think of little that appeals to him less than living in the home of an American officer while his men are confined to a poorly-built prison in the middle of town. Yet, he soon learns Major Fulton isn't a spiteful man who despises Benjamin simply for being his enemy. In fact, he seems to be a good man, and a gentleman. Bound together by their desire to see the prisoners treated properly, they both begin to see each other for who they truly are. But with the war ending and Benjamin certain to be returning home before too long, do they dare look for comfort and affection in each other?

Summary: Love doesn't factor into the life of an Omega. Raised in England's premier Omega House, Hawthorne Fuller faces only one possible future: wed a nobleman and bear his heirs. It's a fate he never questions, despite his misgivings when he signs a marriage contract binding him to an earl he's never met. A dangerous mishap on the way to his wedding forces him to take shelter with a wholly unsuitable man. A man who arouses a maelstrom of feelings Thorne has never experienced in his sheltered life. With his body, and his heart, awakened to forbidden desire, Thorne discovers the security of a noble marriage holds little appeal. But the future may not be his to decide. Even the best kept secrets can refuse to stay buried. It has been years since Wil Berecroft sought anything beyond the simple living his alehouse affords him. He isn't looking for an omega, certainly not for one betrothed to the despised Earl of Maebard, and finding the man hiding in his barn threatens to set Wil's entire life on end. The secrets Wil keeps are in danger of resurfacing, but he can't deny his attraction to Thorne. Torn between the omega and the life he's built, Wil can't swear he'll make the right choice...but no matter what he chooses nothing will ever be the same. A Regency-flavored m/m romance, featuring instalove, mpreg, and a hearty helping of spice.
