Summary: by Ryan Moore (Author) Format: Kindle Edition Part of: Private Encounters (7 books) Ethan doesn’t trust anyone—not after the betrayals that left him hardened, isolated, and convinced love is just another lie. Music is his only truth, his only release. But when his latest downward spiral lands him in therapist Jared’s office, something shifts. Jared sees more than the walls Ethan hides behind. He sees the pain. The anger. The raw need. And for the first time in years, Ethan feels… seen. But crossing the line between therapist and client? That’s a line neither of them should cross. Jared prides himself on professionalism. He’s spent years helping others heal, even while his own heart remains fractured from a bitter divorce. But Ethan’s fire pulls him in.

Summary: We’d shared a forever love. The kind they write stories about. A once in a lifetime chance at something special. For fourteen years Davis was my world. We were growing old together, fifties and counting. Then it was all ripped away in the blink of an eye. We’d told each other everything, or so I thought. But secrets have a way of bubbling to the surface and it turned out Davis kept a few of his own. Hidden laptops, clandestine meetings, cryptic emails. The husband I’d believed in was a lie. Or was he? I have to find out. And Madigan Church is right there to help me. A complicated man. A man I wasn’t expecting. An attraction I can’t deny. Confusing. Challenging. Madigan makes me feel things I’m not ready for. Want things I don’t deserve. Not now. Maybe not ever again. But with every step into the twisted mystery, the danger escalates. Neither of us is safe. Not from the truth, and not from what’s growing between us. Because we aren’t the only ones on the hunt. Somewhere amongst my late husband’s secrets is something worth stealing, maybe even worth killing for. And time is running out. Author’s note: This story features the death of a spouse who is not a main character. ‘The Meaning of You’ is the first book in a romantic suspense series following the same couple. There are no cliffhangers.

Summary: “I am one of the few gods in the pantheon who wasn’t even given a wife in fiction because I was so horrible.” Ares, ancient God of War and Courage, felt as if his life was in limbo. Nothing had changed in eons. His kin still hated him, he was still despised by anyone he interacted with... except for Hermes, but then he was friendly with everyone. But Ares was just marking each day with nothing to look forward to, or to enjoy. Until he got a text from his security company that was monitoring the cameras at his Boston house. What he saw on the feed was intriguing enough to have him thinking a spot of time on earth was a good idea. "If I worried about things like that, I’d be sleeping under a rock and I’d never stick my nose out, even at nighttime in case the moon laughed at me.” Marty, racoon shifter and eternal optimist had found a stash of strawberries. He knew he was taking a risk, he knew there could always be a chance he'd be run off from his little encampment, but those strawberries were too tempting to ignore. He didn't take them all - Marty believed in always leaving enough for others, but little did he know that those stolen strawberries would change his life in every way. How on earth did I get friend-zoned when we’re supposed to be mates? These two were a mismatch from the start, but the Fates always know what they are doing. Ares had a lot to learn about changing his attitude, and Marty was the perfect person to help with that. But even Marty had his limits. Would Ares drive his mate away like he had everyone else, or was Marty worth changing for. Maybe those strawberries were magical after all. Strawberries to Share: Ares Story, is an MM Paranormal Fated Mates Story which includes mpreg. Although it is part of The Gods Made Me Do It series, it can be read as a standalone. If you're in the mood for a low angst story with a guaranteed HEA, then perhaps Ares' and Marty's story can leave you with a smile.

He’s about to work up the courage to ask his sister for help when he’s kidnapped by werewolves. A stroke of luck allows him to escape, but he runs straight into a vampire’s garden.

Summary: At 130 years old, lone Nova Scotian werewolf Malachi Powers never intended to find a mate, until fate sent him Quinn Boucher, a much younger man. Now, after only a few months, Malachi can't imagine his life without Quinn. But when Quinn returns to Nova Scotia, Malachi learns that the man who belongs to him has been keeping a secret--something Malachi cannot allow. At 22, Quinn Boucher has been through more trauma than most people survive in a lifetime. Although he is healing, lately his nightmares have worsened. After he lashes out during a flashback, his employer sends him to Nova Scotia to rest with Malachi at the home of Anax Silas Creighton, ruler of the Canadian werewolves. Face to face with his mate, the man he calls Sire, Quinn can no longer hide the truth. As Quinn battles his demons with Malachi by his side, a new threat faces them. Silas's newest guard, Andy, has malevolent intentions against Silas--and the rest of the werewolves of Canada. Only Quinn, with his clairvoyant abilities, can see what Andy truly is and the magic the other man wields, and only Quinn is left to fight when Andy takes control of Malachi, Silas, and the other guards. But to save his mate and the others, Quinn must first defeat the worst of his buried memories--memories now fueled by Andy's power. This book includes intense descriptions of flashbacks to abuse and sexual assault, harsh language including one use of the F-slur against a gay man, depictions of PTSD, and on-page unaliving of an evil werewolf. The main characters' relationship includes a VERY large age gap (over a century; werewolves live a long time!) and one character consensually commanding the other.
