Damien Blackthorne Dragons were dying. All over the world, a curse was taking us out one by one, and nobody knew how to stop it.I watched my mother burn, I watched my little brother fall sick. I didn’t want to see anyone else die, I was determined to figure out how to stop the dragon fall. That’s when Robby practically falls into my lap, with his big brown eyes and charming smile and his penchant for being hunted by vampires. After saving him twice from certain death, we soon come to realize that there’s a reason he’s being hunted. And that reason may be the answer to all our problems, and the start to a whole new set of them. Robby Diaz I liked to float through the world. I bounced off problems and tended to avoid any and all issues with a smile and a wave. So imagine my surprise when I’m heading to a magic shop in Malibu and I’m suddenly attacked by vampires and then saved by one of the most handsome men I’d ever seen. I thought I could float away from whatever mess I stumbled into, but this problem stuck—following me all the way home. The vampires were after me, but they didn’t want me dead… they wanted me alive. Why? And what did I have to do with this dragon-killing curse? And why was I falling for the fiery hot dragon who insists on saving me over and over again?

Noah Barnes A trip to the grocery store changed my life. That’s where I bumped into my ‘straight’ co-worker and good friend, Jake Perez. I decided to invite him to my book club night, not realizing the chain of events that invite would kick off. Immediately our chemistry became too explosive to contain, making our friendship and work relationship complicated. That same night, a bloody package addressed to me lands on my doorstep. Falling for Jake was never in the plans—then again neither was being targeted by a dangerous stalker. This was going to be interesting. Jake Perez We were supposed to stay just friends—but how was that going to happen when all I wanted to do was kiss the guy? Joining his book club sounded like a perfect way to spend more time with him. I wasn’t counting on liking him more and more with every passing second. Then came the targeted threats, throwing a wrench in our budding ‘friendship’. One thing was certain, though. Well, maybe two. I was going to help Noah figure out who was behind making his life a living hell and I was going to do it while staying as just friends. Friends who liked to hold hands and kiss and… Yeah. This was going to be harder than I thought.

BENJAMIN GOLD: This wasn’t how I envisioned my life going. I thought I was going to be a successful sports star, maybe a famous veterinarian, or maybe I’d open up another sanctuary, following in my moms’ footsteps. None of that happened. Life’s light seemed to turn off for me, and I was having a really hard time turning the spark back on. I fell into the doldrums and let myself think it was normal. Then, on my twenty-fourth birthday, in comes the one surprise I wanted most and liked the least: Rex freaking Madison. My older brother’s best friend, my first crush, my first time. And my absolute worst nightmare, walking in on two thick, sexy, tree-trunk like legs and smiling an electrically blue-eyed smile. Somewhere, deep down under the cobwebs in my chest, a spark lit. REX MADISON: Well. Crap. This wasn’t how I expected things to go. I’d been coasting, living under my dad’s oppressive shadow while using his bank account to keep rent paid and alcohol flowing. I was running, and life caught up to me. Now, I was being blackmailed for a sex tape I never consented to, and lost my meal ticket to an easy life because of it. My best friend offered me a place to stay, and I took it. I figured some time at the Gold Animal Sanctuary would help me get things back on track. One look from Benji was all it took for everything to derail again. It had been six years since we saw each other last, ending an incredible time on a terrible note. Benji had taught me how to love myself--all of myself--back then, and now I wanted to return the favor, no matter how much time may have separated us from our explosive nights together. Nights I'd never forget and always ache to repeat. ________________ Velvet Midnight is the second book in the Gold Brother's series, although it can be read as a standalone.

DUSTY GOLD College is weird. One second you’re studying for a huge exam in integrated physics and the next you’re secretly drooling over the sexy rugby player living in the dorm next door. The second after that, you’re sharing a bed with that same Insta-famous jock, staring up at the ceiling and wondering what in gay heaven caused such a miraculous and terrifying thing. Even though it all felt like a dream, logically, I could see that it wasn’t. That everything about Brandon Reed was real. But logic didn’t stop me from feeling an icy-cold wave of fear every time I thought about my heart and my body in his (very large) hands. Maybe inviting him to stay at my family’s house for the summer wasn’t the greatest idea I’ve ever had? Or maybe it was the best? BRANDON REED I freakin’ loved college. Everything about it, minus the classes obviously. I loved being able to play rugby the most; losing myself to the game, watching the crowds in the stadium grow bigger with every win. Rugby gave me an escape. An escape I really needed. Then Dusty Gold springs into my life. Literally. After we end up as surprise roomies, a spring busts on his bed and we go from roommates to snuggle buddies. Snuggling somehow turns into staying with him over the summer at his family’s animal sanctuary. Soon, I find myself falling hard for the handsome and shy nerd.
