Summary: Never will Wyte ever: Crush on a human. Look the guy up after 20 years. Fall in love. And if you believe that, he's got a bridge to sell you. Once upon a time, Tommy was Wyte's ideal. Playful. Funny. Passionate. (Strong enough to pin Wyte to the mattress and make him beg.) They spent their days apart. Wyte, in the faerie realm, bored and restless. Tommy, on the ice, a rising hockey star. But nights found them together in neon-lit clubs and cheap hotel rooms. Until the other fae found out. And Wyte was dragged back home, without even the chance to say goodbye. That was twenty years ago. Twenty years of Wyte trapped in the faerie realm. Twenty years of Tommy believing him dead. Now, Wyte's allowed one night back. One night with Tommy, just like it was. But Wyte hasn't changed, and Tommy's twenty years older. The closeted, immature man of Wyte's memories has grown up. Oh, he kisses with the same rough passion. But there's silver in his hair and new vulnerability in his eyes. And his kindness, the way he treats Wyte with indulgence and understanding, is unbearable. Because this is just one night. Come sunrise, the faerie realm will be waiting. And Wyte will never see Tommy again. White Rabbit, Silver Fox is a second-chance HFN romp with no cliffhangers. It features an indulgent former tough guy turned retired softie and a silly, playful rabbit fae with far more depth than he's entirely comfortable with. There's snark and dry humor out the ears, enough spice to make the eyes water, and reconciliation after too long apart. This is a standalone novella in the Fallen for a Fae series. Each book follows a different couple (though we do love cameos).

Summary: Cassius: Cass has always had the sight. Although his official job may be to run his coffee shop, in reality he deals with grumpy ghosts, troublesome demons, uptight angels, and all sorts of paranormal issues. When the archangel Gabriel gives him a message that he has to help a gray angel, it’s just par for the course for Cassius. But who could predict that Kushiel would be the brightest soul Cassius had ever met, even if the angel can’t see that about himself? Cassius is determined not just to save the afterlife (and possibly the entire universe), but also to save one very sexy angel (who just might be his soulmate) along the way. Kushiel: Kushiel’s work is his life, and if angels shun him and he feels like he never quite fits in with demons, at least he has the souls he redeems. That is, until someone steals his entire purpose in the afterlife. Some vague clues from a demon seer send him straight into Cass’s coffee shop, where he learns some surprises about afterlife rules. With a little help from Cass, Kushiel is sure they can solve the mystery, especially since the coffee shop owner is the kindest, sweetest, sexiest human he’s ever met. Now if only he could figure out how to respond to all the compliments Cass keeps sending his way, because surely someone as wonderful as Cassius couldn’t be interested in a gray angel. Tags: Kushiel is hurting, and Cass is happy to offer comfort and compliments; afterlife rules are more complicated than angels or demons knew; Aunt Ro keeps trying to not-so-subtly send messages through flowers; Cass runs into demons, angels, ghosts, a sea monster, and a hellhound; messages from seers and through oracles are annoyingly mysterious; Kushiel likes being told what to do, and Cass likes taking charge; Kushiel will finally get his own happily-ever-after (Cass will make sure of it). Note: A Beginner’s Guide to Ghosts, Fallen Angels, and Other Afterlifers can be read as a stand alone. However, it is best read after A Beginner’s Guide to Revenge, Chaos, and Other Absurd Escapades, since Mike and Ari do pop up in this book.
