Summary: Welcome back to Temple High! Damien Benoit-Ledoux returns with the third, heartwarming volume of his young adult gay romance series, Love Grows in Honest Places. Zavien’s life revolves around his church’s strict rules and expectations for Christian living, but he feels more stuck than ever. With his grades slipping, his best swim times dropping, and the girl he can’t stand acting more clingy, his only bright spot is the time he spends with his best friend Caleb. But now the people closest to him are asking too many questions. Down deep, Zavien knows admitting his terrible secret will only turn his world upside down. So why can’t he stop thinking about the cute blue-haired boy from school? Jolan openly lives his best life. Anything but shy—except when it comes to his oil paintings—he keeps his grades up and proudly works at a popular LGBT-friendly café. Unfortunately, that hasn’t landed him a boyfriend.

When his close friend Tracy meddles with his art and love life, he questions whether he should break his one rule: don’t date someone who isn’t out. So why is his recent masterpiece about the handsome closeted guy with a helluva lot of issues? Even as the boys figure out what’s important and navigate high school drama, an unmistakable force draws them closer together. Is the universe trying to tell them a relationship is in their future? The Love We Hide is the third book of the Love Grows in Honest Places series. Get it now.

Summary: I thought my boss was just another eccentric billionaire… …but I didn’t realize he was the financier of a global satanic cult, too. No matter how much sleep I lose thinking about my life, I can’t escape the numbing evil that surrounds me. Ever since the Vampires dragged me into this mess, my life has been an uphill battle against supernatural forces I barely understand. I’m not a religious man by any stretch of the imagination, and the mere thought of stepping into a church makes me nauseous. But the insane, unexplainable events happening in my life make me truly wonder if destiny has condemned me to an unholy fate: the Herald of Satan, or the Antichrist himself. When I found out the company I work for is nothing more than a front for a secret human organization that has been financing the end of the world (aka the apocalypse) and the coming of Lucifer Morningstar, well, that was the day I decided to foil the Devil and end it all. Unholy Alliances is the fourth book of The Snakeheart Series (Season 1), a supernatural novelette series about Dante Coranguis and the ancient prophecy of the End Times. Get it now.

Summary: I didn't think things could get worse… …but people started dying, and it was my fault. At first, I thought someone was playing a cruel trick on me, but that didn't explain the bizarre truth that defied scientific explanation: I had unwillingly become part of something ominous and evil. I'm not the kind of guy who cries often, and I'm certainly not a killer. I wouldn't even wish death upon my worst enemy, if I had one. But after losing two of my closest friends, I questioned my morals and beliefs: could I kill to survive? I didn't have time to mourn because I needed to discover where I fit in the supernatural world of Vampires, Lycan, and Spellcasters. If the crazy old priest and the Fae were right, then my place is second only to Lucifer Morningstar himself. Children of the Sun is the third book of The Snakeheart Series (Season 1), a supernatural novella series about Dante Coranguis and the ancient prophecy of the End Times.

I’ve never been on the run from anyone before, but after speaking with the strange old priest, I started running from the devil himself.
