Finally, the story is picking up some steam. ;D (Yes, that’s my weakness for puns coming out to play!) ;)
Available now direct from me! Coming soon to the usual retailers. :)
This story, I don’t even know where to start. Cam and Rick Play Dirty (a.k.a. Bel and Reed’s Long Night) was supposed to be “Claw” in the After the Heat collection. Then I realized “Prick” was a much better title, so I wrote a different story that ended up being “Claw”, and I’m glad I did, because I really like what I ended up with.
But then this one went longer than I had planned for it to be, by a LOT. It became a story that’s commensurate in length with Devon and Kem Under the Mistletoe (a.k.a. Ian and Craig’s First Fight). It also felt like a different kind of story than those that are in the After the Heat collection, so there was that.
But making it a volume of the Wolves’ Heat Stories meant I needed a new title, because “Prick” is the title that most suits the fourth story in the After the Heat collection! Which also means I needed a new story to go with that title!
Whew.
All that to say, I settled on a title for this one, and I’ve added a cover, and it’s going up this week as an individually published short story in the Wolves’ Heat universe.
“Prick” will also be coming soon to the After the Heat: Wolves’ Heat Stories collection. It’s not the story it was, but it’s the story it was meant to be! :)
The Wolves’ Heat short story, Devon and Kem Under the Mistletoe (a.k.a. Ian and Craig’s First Fight), is available at Amazon and Google Play, and coming soon to more ebook retailers!
Return to the early days of Devon’s life with his new mate, Kem, in this Wolves’ Heat short story, where even a small misunderstanding can lead to trouble…
If you feel like revisiting Devon and Kem, or you like holiday stories, this is the story for you! :)
Of Love and Zembores is finally available! It can be read as a standalone, but I have no idea why you’d want to do that. It’s going to be so much better if you’ve read the other books. :-)
The book is starting to show up in stores now, and I’ll be updating this post later with more links, but right now you can get it at Google Play and Smashwords. (And Amazon and Apple now too, and Barnes & Noble and Kobo.)
Ben’s just trying to make a living the only way he knows how, but nothing’s been going right for him lately, and now he owes a dangerous criminal more than he can pay. He’s only got one thing left to sell that’ll even come close to getting him the zembores he needs to clear his debt.
Vanost is one of the aliens everyone calls monsters, and he wants what Ben’s selling with a desperation he’s never felt before. Vanost isn’t averse to using his power and wealth to get Ben into his bed, but he’ll give Ben a choice. Of course he will. He’s not a real monster.
Ben’s ready to bargain, and Vanost is willing to give up anything to make the deal. There’s just one little problem. Ben’s a liar and a thief who can’t be trusted. But that’s okay, because Vanost is a Yeeru crime lord with a few secrets of his own…
A story of the New Canton Republic, where magic is determined to put an end to the ages old conflict between humans and the aliens who share their world….
This story contains explicit male/male sex, graphic language, and sexual situations that some people might find offensive. Romance for anyone who likes hot alien shapeshifters, fated mates, and a futuristic world where magic is often more trouble than it’s worth!
This is the first book release of the year for me, and frankly I wasn’t even sure I’d have one after the way this year started! But I do, and I’m pretty excited about it. I really love Ben and Vanost and I have an extra special reason for that that I’m not going to tell. ;D But I bet if you read it, you’ll be able to tell me why.
And holy crap, but I just realized this is my longest monster book ever! I mean, not my longest book ever because that honor goes to Mason’s Regret, my last book, but this is my longest New Canton Republic book.
If you buy a copy and read this one, I really hope you enjoy it! :-) I am super happy with it, to be honest, and I really hope it’s not just because I’m thrilled to have written a book this year. ;-)
The main book page for Of Love and Zembores is the best place to check for up to date links. I will be adding to them when I can.
And truly, if you’ve stuck with me this long, I am SO appreciative!
Gay for Alex is finally available! It’s not live everywhere yet, specifically Amazon (it is now!), but it’s available from several online stores already. :) I’ll be notifying the email list after a few more links come through (namely iBooks and Kobo).
Available now at: Amazon | Barnes & Noble | Google Play | Apple | Smashwords | Amazon UK | Amazon AU | Amazon CA | Amazon DE
As usual, the most up-to-date list of links is going to be on the book’s dedicated page. :)
He’s marrying his best friend for money and revenge…
Dayton Royce’s grandfather seems determined to rule Dayton’s life even from the grave. The only way Dayton can get his hands on the inheritance that rightfully belongs to him is to marry before his twenty-fifth birthday. If he doesn’t, he’ll lose it all.
But Dayton’s never been good at following orders, and he has no intention of bowing to his grandfather’s dictates. Dayton’s found a way to get what’s his and give his grandfather the middle finger one last time: he’s going to marry his best friend, Alex, instead of one of the girls his grandfather wanted him to marry.
It should be the perfect revenge.
What it turns out to be is complicated, because Dayton never has known how to quit while he’s ahead…
I’m not going to pretend I’m not very nervous about this book, because I really am! Contemporary romance isn’t my usual thing, even though I love these kinds of stories. I can’t help it, but I am fascinated by marriages of convenience and all their possible complications (the Hend & Yurt series is one result of that fascination! I cannot wait until I finally get to write the story I have in mind for Yohan and Rand). :D I also have a real soft spot for gay for you stories. So when I had the idea for this book a few years ago, I couldn’t pass up writing it—even though it has taken me a really long time to get it done.
Anyway, if you pick up a copy of Gay for Alex, I sincerely hope you enjoy it as much as I have. And seriously, let me know if you want more of these. I really have no idea if anyone cares if I write more in this world or just kind of move on, so definitely comment if you do want more. :)
Not much else to say! :)
Of Monsters and Love is finally live in several ebook stores and is on the way to several others. :D I’m so happy to finally have this out there! I’m also really sorry I’m not better at estimating release dates! Everyone who has had patience with me: thank you from the bottom of my heart!
As usual, the most up-to-date list of links to the book will be on the book’s page, but here are those that are already working.
Of Monsters and Love (A New Canton Republic Novel)
Rafe doesn’t have much respect for magic, not when the only people who seem to have enough of it to matter are either out to get him or want to use him and his hard-learned skills for their own profit.
But Rafe has a problem: he’s made a friend he can’t get rid of—a massive oceandog with wicked sharp teeth and a jealous streak—and the tiny bit of pheromonal magic Rafe’s never had to learn to control is starting to get the best of him.
Something’s wrong, and he doesn’t know what it is—and he sure doesn’t know how to fix it.
But his new friend knows… and that’s all it’s going to take to change Rafe’s life forever. Because monsters don’t always hide under the bed. Sometimes they’re a man’s best friend…
Of Monsters and Love is a new story set in the New Canton Republic, where magic is determined to put an end to the ages old conflict between humans and the aliens who share their world…
While I’ve got your eyeballs, let me say Gay for Alex is still coming this month, as long as nothing crazy happens. ;) That’s one book that did not go the way I thought it would. I set out to write something really light and humorous (like the New Canton books) and ended up with something much more drama-y (like the Wolves’ Heat books)! I think. Maybe I’m not the best judge. Still, I really like the story and the way it’s turned out. So anyone waiting for that one—I did not forget about it, and it’s finally, actually, really just about here. :D
I feel like I’m forgetting something important, but holy crap, I’m tired, so I’m just going to leave it there until I have some more links to update in the morning.
I have a new release this week. The King’s Gambit is finally available! It’s been awhile since I released anything in the world of Hend & Yurt but I was so glad to revisit it. I really like this book. It turned out to be so fun!
The King’s Gambit is available at all the usual places: Smashwords | Amazon | Barnes and Noble | Google Play | Kobo | Amazon UK and more coming soon.
Nearly a year has passed since Leon married and became King. The blood heir has finally arrived and the Birth Feast is only days away. Royal visitors have come from neighboring kingdoms far and wide to coo over baby Yames—and stir up as much discord as possible.
Leon’s lover Geran, the King’s Guard, has his hands full overseeing palace security, but that hasn’t stopped Geran from making it clear there’s something he wants from Leon, and soon—something Leon hasn’t been able to give him.
When it turns out one of the royal visitors has a past with Geran, Leon has more to worry about than a little palace intrigue. But soon it becomes clear that a little palace intrigue might be a whole lot of trouble for Leon and Geran both.
The King’s Gambit is a lighthearted story about magic, royalty, gay romance, a marriage of convenience, mystery, adventure, and palace intrigue. And there’s sex. Because I don’t know that I could write a book without it. ;) Don’t really want to try. :D
All the details are on the book’s main page.
It’s been a while since the last book in the New Canton Republic series, but now I have a new one out. Of Mates and Barters is the fourth book set in that world. It’s available in all the usual places: Amazon.com | All Romance Ebooks | Barnes & Noble | Google Play | Kobo | Smashwords, with a trade paperback coming soon.
If you read it, I sincerely hope you enjoy it!
Since it’s late, I’m just going to say that the book is out and can be bought. :) Several stores appear to be taking their sweet time about getting the book live, but several already have the book available for purchase. Tomorrow I’ll update the site with the links to the books.
And if you happen to pick up a copy, thank you very much for reading my books!
At: Smashwords | Amazon (Kindle) | Barnes & Noble (Nook) | All Romance | Kobo [the whole series at Kobo] The whole series is available at all these stores and a few others besides.
Of Humans and Mates is the third book in the New Canton Republic trilogy.
Thousands of years haven’t been enough to bring an end to the conflict between humans and the aliens who share their world…
Colet doesn’t know why, but her desire for Kyle is beyond all reasoning and her determination to have him is beyond all thought. Kyle will be hers, even if she has to become Cole to have him…
The time’s coming for the ages old conflict between species to end and magic’s got just the plan to make it happen.
As usual: explicit sex, graphic language.
