Summary: A Vampire/Dragon MMM  Fantasy Romance: Seth’s life has always been chaotic. He’s earned himself a reputation, one he feeds to keep his secret. And when Seth discovers a dreg behind the Bluebottle one night, it leads to a shocking revelation: he is fated to the one vampire he loathes above all—Hjor, an elder whose very presence has haunted Seth’s every nightmare. The same vampire who made his life a hellish torment now stands before him, awakening a connection that blurs the lines between hatred and longing. Jett knows only one truth: abandoned by a family he can’t remember, with memories he can’t recall, he survives the streets. And when a vampire intervenes during his darkest hour and saves his life, he’s thrust into a world he knows nothing about. Blood called to blood, and fate intervenes, gifting him not only one mate to walk with him through the world, but two. Discovering that strength comes not from denying who you are, but from embracing it. Fuelled by resentment and hatred, Seth must confront not only his own demons but also the deep-seated bond that ties him to Hjor and his dragon. Together, they are thrust into an ancient war between rival supernatural beings, where loyalty, betrayal, and love intertwine in ways they never expected.

As he wanders through the Nova Scotia woods seeking sustenance and answers, Bailey is soon near death—a death he hopes will come soon. A death he has believed he deserves since the accident that took the life of his fiancée. Anax Silas Creighton, ruler of all werewolves in Canada, learns of a wolf wandering Nova Scotia, and with his guard and friend Quinn Boucher, goes to find what he knows to be a rogue werewolf. The instant Silas sets eyes on Bailey, he recognizes the other man. His mate, thrown into his path by fate. The mate Silas, an aromantic asexual, never wanted. With the national gathering of Canadian werewolf leaders looming, Silas doesn’t have time to teach Bailey about the werewolf world, or willingness to let the new wolf into his life. But when the werewolf who changed and abandoned Bailey arrives at the gathering bent on ending Bailey’s life, Silas will go to any length to protect the mate he never expected to find. This book includes references to alcohol abuse and driving under the influence, and flashbacks and references to a fatal car accident.

Summary: Three years of being the smartest person in the basement will do one of two things to you. It will break you, or it will make you meticulous, highly caffeinated, and completely right. Peyton Ellis has the evidence board to prove it. Five deaths. Five human victims, all partnered with paranormals, their crime scenes staged, but no evidence left at all. He has the red string, the printed photographs and a judgmental spider for company. What he doesn’t have is anyone willing to believe him. Then the Paranormal Task Force walks in. Their lead operative, Menace, is an apex predator who should be terrifying, and absolutely is, until he crouches down on the bullpen floor, picks up Peyton’s scattered crime scene photos, and starts asking exactly the right questions. For a man who has spent years being laughed out of every room, being genuinely heard feels dangerous in the best possible way. But working beside a growly, fiercely protective shifter while dismantling a murder mystery is complicated enough. Falling for the possessive alpha who refuses to leave Peyton’s side is something else entirely. An MM paranormal romance for readers who love grumpy sunshine dynamics, competent underdogs, and protective shifters who choose violence, and yet love quietly. Peyton has spent years being dismissed. He’s about to discover what it feels like when someone powerful refuses to look away.

Summary: "The first step is the important one - he's not scared of me. He just thinks I'm inefficient." Rook, Eldritch Guardian, has a three-step plan to find his beacon: dispose of a body in an alley and wait for the right person to offer advice. It worked for Cillian, so it should work for him - until a late-night altercation outside a theatre forces him to rethink everything. “You’re conflating professional courtesy with personal interest. They’re not the same thing.” Ethan Parks is just trying to stay safe after surviving an abusive relationship, but he has noticed people disappearing from the theatre district. When a stranger intervenes with a persistent creep, Ethan insists he isn’t helpless, although the man in the buckle-covered leather jacket is intriguing enough to earn his number, strictly for theatre booking information, of course. "Rook." Cillian's voice cut through the spiral. "Your shadows are shredding the chair upholstery." Then Ethan’s friend Fiona vanishes after a date, and the question of whether Rook is human becomes less important than finding her. As Ethan, Rook, and the Shadow House search for answers, danger closes in. Someone who knows about guardians believes beacons are the key to controlling them, and are coming for Ethan next. A Love of Shiny Things can be read as a standalone story, but you’d get more enjoyment and understanding about the secondary characters if you read Cillian and Julian’s story Something Worth Keeping first.

Summary: Dragon history was easy. This particular dragon? Anything but. I was sent to Dragon's Ending to uncover lost dragon history. What I found was Dominic Bedwyr. The heir to one of Britain's oldest dragon-shifter families, Dominic has a reputation for turning heads and causing trouble in equal measure. He flirts. He provokes. He has an infuriating habit of appearing when least expected and interrupting my research. And each time I think I've worked Dominic out, he proves me wrong. Because behind the studied indifference, I catch glimpses of someone else entirely. He’s a man born to inherit everything, yet trusted with nothing. Before long, I catch myself listening for his footsteps. Waiting for him to appear by my side, pretending not to help and somehow making me laugh anyway. But dragon families are complicated. Dominic’s, most of all. It's one thing to fall in love with Dominic. It's another to fall in love with the Bedwyr heir.

Summary: What kind of person inherited a castle - or bought one, maybe - and then just...left it to crumble? Damon, one of the original Hellhounds, has been living in a rental cottage in the shadow of a ruined castle for the past three years. His peace and quiet is threatened when he receives notice that the owner of the property – who Damon has never met – was coming to do renovations with a view to selling the property. Little did Damon know that the owner’s arrival meant a lot more than thinking about somewhere else to live. Meanwhile, what on Earth was going on with his hound? He doesn’t know what we are to each other. We need to figure out what he is first and then find a way to tell him without scaring him away. We’ve got the time. Redford Stone, a gargoyle who ran the FBI task force related to paranormal crimes, is suffering from burnout. Needing something to do with his time off, he decides to head to a castle he’d inherited five years before, planning to do some renovations and probably sell the place. His plans are thrown into complete disarray when he arrives at the castle to hear the stones singing. So much for simply staying for three months and going back to work. “You…” Damon couldn’t form a coherent sentence. “You were courting me? By having me lug rocks around?” Hellhounds can’t tell their mate from sight or scent, so Damon and Redford dance around each other, neither one of them saying anything that might scare the other one off. In the meantime, the castle is hiding secrets of its own – historical secrets with very modern day repercussions. When Redford and Damon accidentally “awaken” the castle, the threats and benefits both become very real. Dance in the Stones is book 9 in the Hellhound Collar series. While it can be read as a standalone, reading previous books in the series – in particular Magical Beast (Book 7), where we met Damon for the first time, and More than Words (Book 8), where Redford was introduced - would give more context for the secondary characters.

Summary: Newly-changed werewolf Ren Torres flees from pack members who assaulted him when his first shift from wolf form to human revealed him as a transgender man. Injured and terrified, Ren runs to the home of the Anax, ruler of all werewolves in the United States. There, Ren finds sanctuary—and his destined mate. On the eve of the annual gathering of the U.S. werewolf leaders, the Anax’s guard, Xavier Pelly, has traveled with the Anax to the secondary home where the gathering will occur. When Ren arrives, Xavier immediately recognizes the new, petite werewolf as his fated mate. The one he will protect at any cost. As the gathering progresses, Xavier works to gain Ren’s trust and to build the emotional connection Xavier requires. Feeling secure for the first time in his life with Xavier’s caring support, Ren finds his place in the Anax’s staff, helping to create Virtual Haven, an online support group for LGBTQ+ werewolves.

The book takes place in the Real Werewolves Don’t Eat Meat universe, but is not a direct part of that series.

Summary: I don’t need that shit in my life. This is all I need. Peace and quiet. Solitude. Just water, silence, and the slow passage of time. Sobek, Egyptian God of Crocodiles and the Nile among other things, likes his peaceful life. He travels, collects antiques and goes where the winds or water takes him. Until the waters took him to a small pond in rural Louisiana and he comes across three unusual children invading the privacy of his pond… shifter children. No matter how many times he told himself that the children weren’t his concern, when he finally meets their guardian, Sobek’s perspective changes completely. A tall, dark mysterious stranger appears at your door… The only connection Rudy Crisp, regular human, had to the paranormal world was in his love of the romance stories he read after the children had gone to bed. Sure, his small found family might have some quirks – the odd flash of hair, fur, and scales, but that was just kids being kids, right? Rudy didn’t judge and he refused to let anyone insult his kids either. So when a tall, dark stranger returns his kids, after their excursion to a neighbor’s pond, Rudy wasn’t going to listen when that man started spouting nonsense about shifters. Clearly the sexy hunk had hit his head recently. “Sometimes people just need reminding that they’re okay.” Realizing he has no choice, Sobek sets out to win Rudy’s trust – a trust earned through house repairs and spending time with the kids, all while trying to work out how to approach that delicate “paranormals are real, and you’re my mate” conversation. But when one of the children gets deathly ill, Sobek realizes he’s run out of time. Will Rudy accept he’s actually part of his own paranormal romance story, or will he take the kids and run?

Summary: Lee My life changed one hot summer evening in 1935— two young men trying to prove werewolves really could get drunk, a kiss that felt perfect and inevitable, then a painful morning after— but that night's twenty-five years in my rearview mirror.

Micah's here, in my little town of Highcrest, Wyoming. Locked in the single jail cell for vagrancy, or maybe just not being white enough for the local sheriff. I can't walk away, even if Micah regrets that summer night so long ago. Micah It's been decades since I saw Lee… Pierce.

Summary: Once upon a time, there were three dragons… No, this is not a fairy tale, but rather a story about three dragons who were fated to each other, and who now lived among humans in the hopes of finding their fourth – their Treasure. Mabon was the money man, Urien loved to garden, and Rux…well, Rux had a lot of energy and could cook amazing meals. The three dragons had been together for a hundred years, and were settled, accepting that they were one of many triads who hadn’t found their Treasure yet. Until one day when Rux was grocery shopping in town and his heart stone appeared. Sam, a twenty-seven year old barista, spent his days tempting locals into trying unusual coffees and his evenings tending to his cat, Basil. When he had spare time, he wrote fantastical stories about amazing paranormals who found love with ordinary humans. It was pure escapism, and Sam never intended to publish his stories, but it was fun to have a hobby when his dating life was non-existent. If this had been one of Sam’s story, everything would’ve been fine. The suave paranormals would’ve swept their clueless human off his feet and the HEA would be guaranteed. But our dragons don’t know anything about dating in the modern world, and definitely nothing about dating humans. Rux, Mabon and Urien are keen to learn, but will Sam be patient enough to wait for them to finally state their intentions?
