Summary: “You have something I want. Something I’ll happily buy…or rent.” As if my life doesn’t suck enough already, my insufferable new roommate, Miller MacAvoy, seems determined to make things weird. He watches me all the time, grinning at me like a beautiful idiot, eyes boring holes into me every time I turn my back on him. It’s the last thing I need. Things haven’t been going well. College isn’t working out at all like I’d hoped. I’m drowning in debt, waiting tables every shift I can get, and falling behind on my studies. Something’s got to give. I can’t go on like this much longer. Miller, being the out-of-touch rich boy he is, keeps offering to throw cash my way. Obviously, I’d rather die than accept charity from him. Still, he watches and waits. Insisting again and again that I have something he wants to buy. It’s insane. I have nothing of value to sell. Absolutely nothing. My phone screen is cracked and my truck could easily be mistaken for scrap. Wait. No! Surely not. He can’t possibly be thinking that. Can he?

Summary: Beelbufo has lived a comfortable life as a pet frog for two decades, enjoying pets, human food, and horror movie nights with his favorite human, Gabe. But when Gabe and Az fall head over heels in love, they decide Beel needs a companion too. Little does Beel know that the charming pet shop owner, Jon, is about to become his unsuspecting caretaker. There's only one small catch – Jon thinks Beel is just an ordinary pet frog. When Jon's safety is threatened, Beel can't help making an appearance in his human form. Now Jon's eyeing him with suspicion (turns out his cover story wasn't that great), Gabe and Az are up to their matchmaking antics, and Beel really just wants another kiss with the adorable pet shop owner. (Oh, did we forget to mention they shared a kiss? Spoiler alert: it was magical.) If Beel’s meddling family can stop interfering, Jon can stop being so suspicious, and Beel can stop being so scared of outing his true identity, these two might just get their own happily ever after. (Hopefully with more kisses, because Beel really does like the kissing.) Tags: Beel despises romantic comedies, but maybe he's about to star in one; Jon's got a troublesome ex and could use a knight in shining armor – Beel's more than happy to oblige; Az keeps weaving fairy tale and frog references into their lives, much to everyone's chagrin; Beel's cover stories are laughably bad; coming out as your true self is tougher than Beel imagined, but sometimes it’s worth it.

Summary: Please note this story was originally published as part of the Magic Missive in November 2023. The story has not been changed or added to in any way, so if you downloaded your copy through the Magic Missive, you already have a copy of this one. Thank you. (Word count 42,000) “What’s wrong with you?” Devin King, wolf shifter and bodyguard, was anticipating a huge life change as his company plans to relocate. Caught up in his thoughts, he’s suddenly distracted by an incredible scent. Is his elusive mate finally within touching distance? “Did you hit your head when you fell?” Riley Loren, magicless mage and artist, wasn’t upset when a hunky wolf shifter saves him from being hit by a car, but the man was clearly deluded. Fortunately, Riley did understand about wolf shifters and allowed Devin to tag along with him, until the man came to his senses, at least. It shouldn’t take long, right? When I tell Sarah about this she’s going to be pissed at me. The man is clearly a few sandwiches short of a picnic. But someone else has their sights on Riley and nothing inflames a wolf shifter’s protective instincts more than a mate under threat. If only Devin could fix Riley’s other issues as easily. Features a persistent wolf, a clueless mage, and magic twisted in unusual ways. This is a Fated Mates Happy Ever After and intended for mature audiences.
