NEW RELEASES

Alpha’s Obedience – Nora Phoenix

Nora’s Recommendation: erm, duh! Of course you need to read this series, haha. It’s sexy, intriguing, with fantastic world building, found family, a dash of suspense, and amazing characters. 

He’s determined to bring two enemies back together…but his own heart gets in the way.

Naran is combatant, bitter, and determined to keep everyone at a distance, but especially Lev, the fellow alpha he betrayed in the worst way. Not that that’s hard, since he’s confined to his room after injuries to both his legs.

Sivney thinks that’s BS. It’s easy to see Naran and Lev belong together, even though relationships between two alphas are uncommon. But Lev needs something only Naran can give him, so Sivney is determined to bring them back together.
It works, until his own feelings get in the way…

And outside the PTP ranch, things get worse and worse… How will the pack survive?

Nora’s Recommendation: age gap, mpreg, hurt/comfort, and firefighters? Sign me up!

No one expects lace in a laundry room to change their life.

At twenty-one, Flores Williams has a few things his (non-existent) friends don’t: a police record, abusive parents, and a colorful hobby. But the worst thing about being independent? Breaking an expensive washing machine right before your ballet audition. Flores needs clothes, he needs a job, he needs a miracle.

As long as that miracle isn’t Gareth Brown.

Ten years ago, Gareth lost his husband to a car accident. These days, he hangs around with his firefighting team, trying to fill the void in his heart. When his friend makes a request, Gareth agrees: Watch Tim Williams’ son. Flores is a criminal, and Gareth thinks he can stop that boy from going back into jail.

But Gareth isn’t prepared for Flores to call him Sir. Add to that the fact that Flores has never been kissed. And that Gareth increasingly wants Flores to be his boy. Gareth shouldn’t—he’s far older. He’s promised Tim that he wouldn’t get involved with Flores.

As fate drags them into a whirlpool of lace, sweet punishments, and an accidental pregnancy, will the growing fire between Flores and Gareth draw them closer, or will the demons from their pasts burn them to the ground?

Gareth’s Boy is a 82,000-word standalone non-shifter age-difference MPreg romance, featuring a protective firefighter, hurt/comfort, and a broken soul who learns to smile again. HEA guaranteed! Warning: This book contains so much heat, it’ll fog up your windows. Try to stay cool!!

99c DEALS

Fall Deep – Raleigh Ruebens

Nora’s Comment: This is a new release at 99c.

Alex:
Nobody knows the real me. I didn’t choose to be famous or wealthy, and I’ve seen firsthand how the media ruins lives–including mine. So I keep everything secret, controlled, and undisclosed. Especially the fact that I’m attracted to men.

And then Landon Luna breaks right through my shell. He’s a whirling tornado of flirtation, blond hair, and irresistible lips. He’s a ray of sunshine in my lonely life, and I desperately need to keep him close. But he refuses to sign my contract. And now every time his lips touch mine, it’s dangerous. So why can’t I stop?

With a reporter following my every move, the pressure is on. I need to keep things locked down. Need to keep myself under control. But I also need Landon–body and soul.

And no matter the danger, no matter the risk, I get what I want.
Even if it costs me everything.

Landon:
I’ve spent my whole life falling in love too fast. It’s the same story every time: I meet hot guys, I fall so deep, I give them everything… and then they run away.

But then I meet Alex Aldridge. Alex is everything I’ve daydreamed about since boyhood–wicked hot, brooding, and secretly passionate as hell. He’s an heir to a technology empire, but behind all his money, he’s got an ocean of secrets. Like the fact that he’s into men. And the fact that he wants me.

There’s just one catch: Alex forbids me from telling a single soul that I’m seeing him. And he offers me an exorbitant sum of money to ensure my silence. The offer stings–but the thought of losing him hurts even more. Because after falling into bed with him, I’ve started falling in love.

I’ve never been good at secrets.
Especially ones that hurt.
But I don’t think I can let him go.
Fall Deep

A Rumored Affair – Vicki Lynn

Vacationing at a gay resort is risky business for Winter Media’s CEO, Graham Winters. In negotiations for the purchase of an anti-LGBTQ publication, if found out he preferred men, the deal would collapse, along with Winter Media’s bottom line. But take a risk, Graham does. He can’t pass up two weeks where he can be himself.

But when Graham arrives at Secretus, there is no record of his reservation. Never one to take no for an answer, he coerces the owner of Secretus, Chris Katsaros, to let him stay in Chris’s home.

Winter Media owns one of the worst gossip rags in the country, so Chris has no choice but to agree to Graham’s terms. Chris keeps a low profile when it comes to Secretus, securing a safe environment where high profile gays can relax without media hounding their every move. An introvert by nature, Chris has a difficult time letting anyone into his life. As a foster kid, he had never experienced love until adopted by Pete and Bob.

Forced to entertain Graham, Chris finds they have more in common than he ever thought. The attraction between them is real, and Chris’s guarded heart begins to thaw.

Note from author: A Rumored Affair was originally published with Loose ID. In this version, I have added extra scenes and had it proofread by Red Pen Coach.

Jesse Peterson is 26 and loves his job at a pet store. He loves the cats, the dogs and Sniffles the rabbit.

So, when the store’s newest customer, buying supplies for his kitten, asks him out, Jesse has trouble understanding why. Jesse knows he’s not stupid, but nobody else seems to know that. They just see a good-looking young man whose smile seems to be the brightest thing about him.

Drew Oliver isn’t other people. A high school teacher with a history of bad relationship choices, Drew is patient, loving, and doesn’t care that Jesse is different. He just cares about being able to make him smile as often as he can.

Everyone seems to have an opinion about the differences between Drew and Jesse, few notice the things they share. Can their relationship survive the scrutiny and judgement passed by everyone around them? And when one of Drew’s bad choices shows up, will love be enough to help them survive the aftermath?

Among the Living – Jordan Castillo Price

Once upon a time if you told doctors you heard voices,
they’d diagnose you as schizophrenic, put you on heavy drugs,
and lock you away in a cozy state institution
to keep you from hurting yourself or others.
Nowadays they test you first to see if you’re psychic.

Victor Bayne, the psychic half of a PsyCop team, is a gay medium who’s more concerned with flying under the radar than making waves.

He hooks up with handsome Jacob Marks, a non-psychic (or “Stiff”) from an adjacent precinct at his ex-partner’s retirement party, and it seems like his dubious luck has taken a turn for the better. But then a serial killer surfaces who can change his appearance to match any witness’ idea of the world’s hottest guy.

Solving murders is a snap when you can ask the victims whodunit, but this killer’s not leaving any spirits behind.

Among the Living is book 1 of PsyCop, an ongoing M/M Urban Fantasy series featuring steamy love scenes, astonishing psychic talents, gruesome murders, and a slew of creepy otherworldly creatures.
