When Saint John “Sinjun” Livingston drove out of California in his vintage Caddy, he left behind the years of shame and fear instilled by his stalker ex. Sinjun’s new life as owner of the Rainbow Spa and Lodge in small town New Mexico is the perfect bandage for all his hurts. Finding this surreal place of peace is more than Sinjun dared to hope for, but what he doesn’t expect from Truth or Consequences is meeting a beautiful Texas cowboy on the side of the road… and wanting to get to know him.

From the first chance encounter, Rhys Davis knows he wants to see the free-spirited man with the weird name again. When Rhys offers to help renovate the lodge and spa to take the place from the 1970s to the modern age, he’s well aware he is falling for Sinjun. But the spa’s healing waters are needed more than ever when Rhys’s family interferes and Sinjun’s dangerous past comes back to haunt him.

Now Sinjun and Rhys must trust each other and the place that brought them together if they’re going to survive to build a future.

Mountain lion shifter Liam leaves his home in Glen Wood after knowing he’d hurt his friends too badly for them to forgive him. While he tells himself he’s a loner, the pain of missing his friends, especially a certain sarcastic raven shifter named Kell, is enough to tear Liam apart.

Kell knows he’s the one who told Liam to leave Glen Wood and never come back, so he also knows he’s the one who has to bring Liam back. Once Liam is gone, Kell knows he’s missing Liam as more than a friend, but can he bring Liam back, and fight the danger that threatens their home?

Part of the The Cowboy and the Dom series:
  • First Rodeo
  • Razor's Edge
  • No Ghosts
  • The Soldier and the Angel

Razor blades left by a murderer continue to remind Sam and Thomas of James, the man they lost to violence… whose killer is still out there and seems to be watching them constantly, biding his time.

Meanwhile, their carefully built relationship also teeters on the edge of a knife. Sam’s efforts to be the kind of full-time sub he thinks Thomas wants fail miserably, and Thomas must accept the fact that Sam is unique and his lover’s needs don’t lend themselves to the typical high protocol BDSM lifestyle. They contend with jealousy, confusion, arguments and stress, and when communication starts to break down, they struggle to reconcile their massive differences and learn what it means to be a them.

An emotional misunderstanding might be the last straw--or the opportunity the killer has been waiting for to take Sam out of Thomas’s life once and for all.

Note to our readers: Each of the three books in The Cowboy and the Dom Series has a fully realized, romantic ending. However, the overarching suspense element will leave readers on a cliffhanger after books one and two, to be fully resolved in book three. Readers should begin the series with book one, First Rodeo.

Part of the The Cowboy and the Dom series:

  • No Ghosts
  • The Soldier and the Angel

Months after James’s brutal murder, Sam gets an opportunity to help Thomas find closure. That means leaving New York City to travel to the O’Reilly’s Texas home, to meet Sam’s parents and get a taste of how and where the O’Reilly brothers grew up.

Their vacation is also an opportunity for Thomas and Sam to move beyond the past, drop their remaining baggage, and finally solidify their tumultuous relationship.

But that may be easier said than done given that Thomas has a secret he’s been keeping from Sam, and Sam is sick and tired of everyone in his life knowing what’s going on but him. It’s the worst time for their trust to break down, because their final confrontation with James’s killer looms, and if they’re going to walk away, they’ll have to do it together.

Note to our readers: Each of the three books in The Cowboy and the Dom Series has a fully realized, romantic ending. However, the overarching suspense element will leave readers on a cliffhanger after books one and two, to be fully resolved in book three (this book). Readers should begin the series with book one, First Rodeo.

When rodeo cowboy Seth’s best friend dies unexpectedly from cancer, he finds himself taking on a ranch and a bunch of his friend’s younger siblings, because they have nowhere else to turn. Seth loves those kids like they’re his own, and he settles in well to his new life, which is why he’s pretty wary when his buddy’s older brother finally makes it home from a long stint in the military.

Law knows he might get a chilly reception at his brother Pistol’s old ranch, even if the kids living there are his half-siblings. He didn’t make it to his brother’s funeral, after all, but to his credit, he was blown up trying to come home to do just that. He’s fighting injuries and insecurity, but when Seth welcomes him to the family ranch, Law knows he’s pretty much in love. Even if he thinks Seth was his brother’s lover. Can these two find a way to let their emotions out before tragedy strikes their family again?

Scooter is just out for a good time, and maybe a friendly roll in the hay, when he meets up the members of the most fascinating band he's ever seen. There's something about all of the hot musicians that turns Scooter on, but it's slow-talking, sizzling Justin who convinces Scooter that a roofer from Texas might just be the perfect driver for the tour bus.

Driving the bus puts Scooter smack in the middle of the lives of a band of the sexiest vampires on earth, and put him in the worst danger he's ever known. Tension between lovers and dark forces put Scooter, Justin, and the rest of the band in the horrific position of having to choose who lives and who dies, if any of them can get out alive at all.

Author's Note: This is a work of horror with romantic elements

Stocking Stuffers

Book Cover: Stocking Stuffers
Buy Now: Amazon

A collection of sweet, sexy, and fun MM Christmas romances.

PUBLISHER NOTE: an early version of this book showed the wrong content: if you have that version, please contact Amazon Customer Service to get the corrected one downloaded.

From a corporate office to Santa’s Grotto, from a lowly store clerk to a sexy bull-rider, from a single kiss to sensual intimacy: each of these stories promises you a special and sparkling Christmas romance. We believe every man deserves his share of seasonal promise, and every couple their happily ever after. Four best-selling authors bring you their own style of loving, all set in this season of fun, hope, and love!

In The Clumsy Santa by Sue Brown, the last thing Charlie Johnson expects when he takes a holiday job as an elf in Santa’s Grotto is falling in love with Santa. Nick is the shyest and clumsiest man Charlie has ever met, but that’s just part of his charm. Charlie falls for Santa, whilst Santa falls head over heels onto the floor. But despite their growing friendship, will Nick ever give Charlie his real Christmas wish?

In The Peppermint Schnapps Predicament by Clare London, Frankie Faraday is trapped in the Seasonal Gifts storeroom overnight with Bill Mason, Frankie’s boss, and the object of Frankie’s long-suffering crush. Bill is steady and sober; Frankie is frivolous and flaky. Or so they seem to each other, until there’s nothing but candy and peppermint schnapps to sustain them in the dark. And then the real truths emerge!

In Giving Gifts by Chrissy Munder, Seth Morrison’s crush on Oscar changes him from an absentminded computer geek to a dancing machine, in time for the work holiday party. If only Arnost Sarac, the company CEO’s assistant, would quit dogging his steps and insisting the old Seth was perfectly fine. And exactly who will join Seth under the mistletoe with the gift that keeps on giving?

In Adding to the Collection by B. A. Tortuga, homebody and bullriding fan Derrick loves going to the finals in Vegas, especially when he gets to see his favorite rider, Stone. This year he gets way more up close and personal with Stone than he ever expects. After Vegas, though, and with Christmas on his mind, will Derrick panic and send Stone away, or will he add the rodeo cowboy to his collection?

Please note: these stories may also be individually available for purchase at various times. This collection is a special event for 2019. The spelling and vocabulary reflects that of the author, and so may be different between stories. Enjoy our global styles!

When the weather has other plans for Wren, stranding her in the mountains, it's Robin who comes to the rescue, finding a way to keep her out of the storm.
