First times. First loves. The perfect summer romance. Maybe. Jake only exchanged a handful of words with his college roommate’s incredibly hot best friend, but he can't stop thinking about Micah. When his roommate invites Jake to visit for the final month of summer break, Jake jumps at the chance to escape being home with his alcoholic father and figure out why Micah seems different from all the guys he's ever hooked up with. Micah’s surprised to see Jake show up on Long Island, but a month around the guy he's been crushing on is a dream come true. Even better, Jake seems to return his interest. Despite repeated warnings that Jake isn’t a relationship kind of guy, Micah knows he’s falling hard. He wants Jake to be his first for everything. Now the only question is whether Jake wants those things too. Nothing Like a Summer Romance is a 45,000-word prequel to Nothing Like Forever, book two in the Finding Forever Series.

A single phone call changes the perfectly-balanced V-relationship husbands Elliott and Luc, and Luc’s Dom/boyfriend, Leo, have maintained for years. If they’re brave enough to take the chance, they could build something even stronger for all of them together. Elliott thrives on routine: teaching college literature, caring for his dogs, and unconditionally loving his husband, Luc. Whether that means building a recording studio for Luc’s burgeoning career as a pet care influencer or supporting Luc’s love for his Dom, Elliott is there for him no matter what. Luc is the luckiest man in the world. His pet care YouTube channel is poised to launch into a real career, Elliott gives him the solid foundation he needs, and Leo provides the domination and structure he craves. Wherever the winds of fame take him, he’s secure in the knowledge that both his husband and his lover will be his wings. Leo knows no one would look at his wheelchair and think “Dom,” but frankly, he doesn’t care. He survived the accident that paralyzed him, as well as a health crisis that almost killed him, and his reward is Luc, kneeling at his feet in complete devotion and perfect submission. These three men have balanced work, home, love, and play in an open and consensual V-relationship for several years…until a single phone call rocks their world. Once the shock wears off, the new dynamic between them could destroy everything or build something stronger if they’re brave enough to take the chance. Notes: Love Comes in Threes is an emotional, somewhat angsty MMM romance featuring a consensual V-relationship (i.e., no cheating), and an HEA for all three men. It contains a Dom on wheels, Really Big Floofy Dogs, and mouthwatering Greek pastries, as well as light kink and a D/s relationship.

The morning after the world’s most epically clichéd breakup, Luc finds himself staring into the most gorgeous brown eyes he’s ever seen. Just his luck, they belong to a Neapolitan Mastiff watching him from the back window of a Honda. Luc snaps a picture for his Instagram collection of amazing dog faces then notices the driver of the car staring at him in the rearview mirror. Convinced he’s about to be screamed at or worse, Luc gets the heck out of there and heads for his job as a vet tech at an emergency clinic. He posts the photo at lunch, and, by the time he gets home, he’s got over a thousand likes and a DM from the dog’s owner. Is he about to go from clichéd breakup to best meet cute ever? (7500-word standalone short story)

Blue Skies is an age gap, one bed, hurt/comfort, story with acespec representation. As a sex-positive asexual man with HIV, Greg's been told it's just too complicated to be in a relationship with him. His latest boyfriend turns out to yet another in a long line of guys who say they understand asexuality only to put pressure on him to perform. Six months later, still despondent over this latest betrayal, Greg doesn't have any expectations when he joins his friends at their favorite West Hollywood club. Meeting a sexy silver fox was definitely not on the agenda, nor was wanting to get to know the man better, but unfortunately, Holden's leaving the next morning for the East Coast. As a flight attendant, Greg's schedule has him out of town the following week. Regretfully, they trade phone numbers and part ways. Holden has been in the closet his entire life. First with his conservative parents, then in the Navy, and now as an employee of a military contractor. It's safer pretending to be straight. The only time Holden steps out of the closet is when he's on a business trip. Quickies and hook-ups have been the name of the game for him for nearly thirty years. Now nearly fifty, Holden's getting tired of it, but only has a few more years before he can live his life on his own terms. Then he goes to Neon and meets Greg. Even after Greg refuses to go back to Holden's hotel room and they part ways, he can't stop thinking about Greg and wishing he'd been able to say yes to dinner the following night. But then Greg doesn't call or text him, so Holden figures the invite was just a way to let the old guy down easy. A week later, Holden's got a meeting in Denver, and who should show up as part of the flight crew? It's Greg, who takes one look at Holden and...if looks could kill, Holden would be a smoldering pile of ash. Undaunted, Holden tries to talk to Greg during the flight only to be shut down and told to return to his seat. But fate has a different idea.

Jake and Micah met at eighteen and formed a deep connection the instant they saw each other. That was the easy part. Nothing Like Forever is a soul mates-to-partners, can't-live-with-him/can't-live-without-him unconventional love story in which Jake doesn't want romance or a happily-ever-after, and Micah wants it all. With Jake. For twenty years they’ve been in and out of each other’s lives trying to get it right. They fail, retreat, disappear from each other’s lives for years at a time, and then fate (or a friend’s wedding) brings them back together for another attempt at making it work. Their connection always runs deep, but no matter what it takes for them to stay together, one thing’s certain: these guys have a unique path to finding their HEA, and when they get there, it might not look the way either of them expect. This novel is about learning what you can and can’t expect from your partner and what you can and can’t accept for yourself in a relationship, what lines you’re willing to cross, what compromises you’re willing to make, and where you have to stay true to who you are no matter how you feel about the other person. It features an aromantic MC and a guaranteed HEA that’s as unique as these two men and the journey it takes them to find forever. Trigger warning: this novel has mentions of alcoholism and dementia. It also features MCs who are consensually non-monogamous, but there are no on-page depictions of Jake and Micah with anyone except each other.
