** Please note: This is book 1 in a duet (it IS 12 men after all) ** I thought I was living the dream—until the fateful day I found my boyfriend in bed with my boss. As a professional copywriter, it was the tired cliche that hurt me the most. What’s a big city girl to do but pack my bags and go solo on that Grecian cruise I’d booked with my ex. Who needs a man when you have tropical breezes, stunning vistas, and free cocktails with frilly umbrellas? But thanks to a freak storm, I find myself washed ashore on a mysterious Greek Isle inhabited by 12 hotties determined to help me in any way they can. What in the rom-com setup is this? Somehow, I’ve ended up inside a famous Greek myth, tasked with conquering the very men I find myself unable to resist—despite their fur, fangs, tentacles, extra appendages, and extremely large…secrets of their own. Danger lurks around every crumbling ancient ruin, but the longer I stay, the more I wonder if I want to return to my old life at all. Here, I get to be the heroine of my own story, and it might just be time to rewrite history. — Herculeia is a monstrously mythic, medium-dark rom-com loosely based on the 12 Labors of Hercules, with many ridiculous liberties taken. And before my fellow history nerds get their togas in a bunch, I am aware that Hercules is the Roman spelling (it gets addressed in the book, trust.) For those wondering how weird this is gonna get in the sheets: Think monster shifters, who maintain fancy accessories in human form. Includes MM (loads of it!) Multiple POV This book is meant for readers 18 and over. Possible triggers: Sweary dialogue Naughty irreverent humor Graphic sex, including kink and various edgeplay Gore and violence Trauma related to past death in the family, a bad breakup, and a magical shipwreck Signature weirdness and medium-dark elements In general, please do not read if you own pearls to clutch, or if you regularly ask to speak to the manager, as you and I will probably not get along.

PLEASE NOTE: Full list of Content & TWs can be found in the front of the book and at c-rochelle[dot]com. Xander Big City is supposedly the place where dreams come true. As someone just trying to live my life, I can tell you, it’s more like a recurring nightmare where dreams get c*ckblocked at every turn. Especially if you’re a supervillain like me. The irony is that I have zero powers, despite coming from purebred villain stock, but try telling that to Big City’s beloved hero, Captain Masculine. This himbo is ruining my research, and if his firepower doesn’t kill me, the sight of him in Lycra surely will. Luckily—or unluckily, in my opinion—my bestie just signed me up for the Bangers dating app and found my perfect match. If this isn’t the start of my villain arc, I don’t know what is. Butch It’s hard feeling like I have to wear a mask every day—that the only value I bring to the table is the sparkling image others have created for me. Such is the life of being Captain Masculine, Big City’s greatest superhero. This is the existence I was destined for, and I will gladly defend this city against every threat to its people. Except Doctor Antihero. I’ve seen countless villains come and go, but something about Antihero intrigues me more than the usual hero-villain encounters should. It’s because of him that I impulsively signed up for a dating app, hoping a meaningless fling with a local normie will help get my head back in the game. The truth is, what I really want is someone who sees me—the man behind the mask. But that’s a luxury no superhero can afford. --- Not All Himbos Wear Capes is an MM romance between a superhero and a villain. Our men find other men in tight supersuits incredibly attractive. Sometimes, they keep these supersuits on while engaging in explicit extracurricular activities with each other (and sometimes they even use bad words!). This is not your kid’s superhero book. This is Sin City and The Boys having a love child with extra spicy Spideypool and is meant for 18+ adults who can handle such things. The Villainous Things series contains standalone books (each with HEAs) that feature interconnected characters and an overarching plot. --- *FULL LIST OF Content & TWs can be found in the front of the book and at c-rochelle[dot]com* CONTENT & TROPES: • MM romance • Dual POV • Superheroes/villains • Grumpy/sunshine • Star-crossed lovers + fated mates • Lovers-to-enemies-to-lovers (yup) • Hurt/comfort + found family • D/s dynamic that's more bedroom than lifestyle • MM romance (in case you missed that part) • Plus suspenseful plot + save-the-world epicness for pizazz POTENTIAL TRIGGERS: • Sweary dialogue • Naughty irreverent humor • Extremely morally gray characters with moments of psychotic ideation • Extra spicy extracurricular activities (see inside book and c-rochelle[dot]com for specifics) • Minor gore in villain lair and during hero/villain battle scenes • Controlling + neglectful parents with some physical (superpowered) abuse • Lack of autonomy + indentured servitude • Restraints (not the fun kind) • Detailed descriptions of humans’ negative effects on coastal wildlife (specifically with pollution and including a seagull autopsy with details of the contents of its stomach)

Micah What’s a superhero to do when his own family sees his powers as unimpressive and he’s fifth in line for the throne? Set my sights on getting space married to a hot alien, of course! For science. Ziggy Andromeda is a skinsuit-stealing mercenary who’s so far out of my league he might as well be in another galaxy, but there’s nothing I love more than a challenge. And his spaceship has only one bed! Unfortunately, a home planet conspiracy is threatening our besties-with-benefits situationship, along with my dream of putting a Saturn-sized ring on it and locking Ziggy down for good. Rude. I came for a deep space adventure with my hot-bod bodysnatcher, and I intend to complete my mission, no matter what. For science! — Ziggy Out of all the supes on this sad little floating rock, Micah Salah has impressed me the most. I’ve never let anyone as close to me as he is—for their protection and mine—but I can’t seem to resist Micah’s gravitational pull. Plus. he smells like goddamn candy. He probably tastes like candy… No. Bad Ziggy. Unfortunately, this superpowered Earthling has not only joined me on assignment but in my bed. This wouldn’t be a problem if my true form hadn’t already claimed him as my mate, even though I suspect I’m nothing but a temporary detour on his intergalactic travels. Too bad I’d rather live inside him. Permanently. I’m determined to respect Micah’s personal space, even if the forces conspiring against us make me want to tighten my tendrils and never let him go. Because he’s mine. Forever. — Earth Boys Are Easy is book 1 in the new Villains in Space series, and is an idiots-in-love tale (where the spice heats up quick but the eMOtioNs are glacially slow), set in space, with only one sleeping pod, and an entire skinsuit closet full of alien accessories. Things are gonna get weird, but if you’re here for it, dock yourself to my spice-station and hang on for the ride! Chronologically, Earth Boys Are Easy occurs after Enter the Multi-Vers (Villainous Things, Book 4), so you will get more backstory if you read Villainous first. However, you can start your adventure here before orbiting back to the series that started it all. I have plenty of Villains in Space missions in mind for Ziggy and Micah, so be sure to show your love (through reviews and word of mouth) for our space daddy and his babygirl! — IF YOU LOVE (full list of CW/TW found at c-rochelle. com) MM superhero x morally gray alien romance Grumpy/sunshine Idiots.

Baltasar It’s time for me to start pulling my weight in the Suarez clan—to prove I’m worth more than the plays I make on the field or the dirt I dig up on rival families. I want to make Wolfy proud. And not get unalived by Simon. So I volunteered what I had to offer, knowing my infamous genes could be used for uniting two powerful clans in marriage. After all, I’m the only not-gay one in my family, so that alone should entice the super-babes looking to get busy with baby-making. I mean, as long as they don’t ask me to do math or anything. But the last supe I expected Wolfy to match me with was the ice queen hero herself, Dahlia Salah. She's not bad, but her brother is my former Deathball rival, and the only one on the planet who can make me Hulk out with a single snarky word. All I have to do is keep my eye on the prize and ignore this weird tension between Zion and me. I’ve totally got this. Zion I never would have guessed Baltasar Suarez would be the man to lock down my sister. But shady business deals are what make our world go ‘round, and Dahlia sealed her fate when she went up against the leaders of his clan—as if she were destined for our legendary throne instead of me. Not that I've been interested in wearing the crown. Not after everything that happened. Without Deathball to distract me, I spend most of my time keeping my daughter safe and happy, even though her mother is gone and my parents treat her like an outcast. Otherwise, I’ve just been… existing. Until Baltasar showed up, as tempting as ever—reminding me of all I’ve lost, and everything I’ve ever wanted. Everything I can never have. Or can I? My beast—my true supe form—has already decided the villain is ours, so why not remind my backstabbing family that everything under this roof is destined to belong to me? Starting with him. --- Putting Out for a Hero is an MM romance between a superhero and a villain. Our men find other men in tight supersuits incredibly attractive.

Simon I needed to get the hell out of Big City. The only reason I was living in this American wasteland was because my mother insisted I reconcile with my estranged father. That the idea came to her while drunk on the French bubbly should have been my sign to stay right where I belonged. Anywhere but here. Certainly somewhere more fabulous. When an international job opportunity arises, I jump on board. It’s just a bonus that I’ll be traveling with the epitome of tall, dark, and handsome. Make that muscular, morally gray, and hopefully, my next conquest. What’s a casual fling between coworkers, after all? I’m ready for my next big adventure—far from Big City—so if whatever we’re up to is vaguely illegal, I’ll simply turn the other cheek. It’s not like some superhero is going to swoop in and stop a couple of humans like us. Wolfgang I may have orchestrated my villainous parents’ deaths, but that doesn’t mean the crushing weight of my responsibilities is easy to bear. My sister was the only one of my siblings who knew how badly they treated me. The only one I told how much I despise my powers. Now she’s on the run—leaving me to carry this alone. But then I meet him. I may have hired Simon Alarie as my assistant, but it’s instantly apparent he’s much more than that. He’s not only intelligent and business savvy, but fiercely loyal, and the tastiest—most forbidden—little thing I’ve ever seen. Nothing can come of it. Because if I touch him, he dies. That doesn’t stop me from claiming him as mine. Whether or not this normie knows it, every inch of him—every breath he takes—belongs to me. And anyone who thinks otherwise will meet the Hand of Death. --- Gentlemen Prefer Villains is an MM romance between a villain and a "normie."

Gabriel Theo Coatl was supposed to be just a job. On paper, my twin and I are recent grads moving into the eccentric artist’s mansion for a once-in-a-lifetime internship opportunity. In reality, Dre and I are spies for our clan—a pair of supes known as Shock and Awe who could melt our enemy’s brain as easily as we could extract the intel we were after. Whatever works. But our mark isn’t the only one keeping secrets, and Theo’s proximity is… doing things to me. This man could fulfill every dark desire I’ve buried beneath the surface. Things even my twin doesn’t know I crave. Too bad exploring my fantasies isn’t part of the plan. Andre Gabe and I may have been sent to this hideous McMansion on a mission, but the instant Theo Coatl sashayed into view, our plans changed. At least, mine did. Wolfy’s original instructions were clear—get in Theo’s head, get the intel, and get out. But I took our eldest brother’s words as more of a suggestion than anything. And my idea is better. Because I see the way Theo looks at my twin—like he wants to eat him alive. Never mind that the man is a potentially deadly being of unknown origins, or that I want to discipline him so badly I can taste it. Gabe is the bait. Theo is our prey. And if I get to play with the brat before we end him, well, what could be the harm in that? Theo It had been so long since I’d enjoyed a proper hunt, I was nearly giddy with excitement. And what delightful prey I’ve found! The twins are perfect. Broody angel Gabriel is pretending to resist my advances, while practically begging me to take what I want. And Andre is playing his cards close with absolute control—which only encourages me to defy him more. As there’s nothing I love more than misbehaving. I do have an agenda here on earth, however—one my interns can legitimately assist me with. So, while I can’t wait to make a pretty pair of puppets out of these unsuspecting humans, I’ve decided to at least try to lure them in slowly. Really savor the experience. Since it will be the death of them in the end. Enter the Multi-Vers is an MMM romance between a pair of villains and an alien chaos gremlin in a skinsuit.

Please note: This is an RH, with multiple POV, unusual spicy smex, and a focus on romance (including MM) and body positivity. If any of those things don't work for you, please don't read it! BLURB: As with most beginnings, it started with death. When I had nothing left to lose, I traveled to the hut in the woods; the one no one dared approach. The witch who lived there recognized the darkness in my soul and took me under her wing—to witness her reign of terror firsthand and eventually, to inherit her legacy as my own. Now I’m the monster they fear; the one humans avoid at all costs. In this welcome isolation, I've attempted to forget my past and the future that was taken from me. Until three men appear, somehow able to break through my protective wards and see me in my true form. While resistant to their intrusion, I recognize they may be the ones I’ve been waiting for—the ones I need to ascend to my full power. Too bad I would rather grind their bones than invite them in. But something is mysteriously devouring the forest, and I suspect the threat may be the same one I barely escaped many moons ago. If it is, he will find me a more worthy opponent than the last time we met. I am the Yaga and I may be broken, but my edges are sharp. -- The Yaga’s Riders is based on the folklore of Baba Yaga, with creative liberties taken.

Well, that's what's new in my life... And now my unrequited first love has left Hell to search for me before the killing machines of the Demonic Forces or the Angelic Army find me.

OUT OF PRINT In this world, you're either predator or prey. I come from a long line of pure-blood predators, but when my shift finally happened, I turned out to be prey. A bunny to be exact. A freakin' bunny. The guy I'd been promised to since birth rejected me. My own father has turned his back on me - shipping me off to Apex Academy even though it's practically a death sentence with what I am. Oh, and of course, my ex-fiance and his friends are here at the academy and more than happy to make my life a living h***. But then I met my teachers. Five incredibly gorgeous apex predators, each one more mysterious than the last. And all of them, very much off-limits. There is something dark at Apex Academy - something that's killing off students and teachers alike. As prey, I'm afraid I'm the easiest target, but who can I trust to keep me safe?

OUT OF PRINT My name is Delores Diamond Drew, and I’ve got a bone to pick. From an early age, I knew I didn’t want to be part of the cutthroat society my predator family sits at the top of, nor did I ascribe to their legacy of division and elitism. It’s all such utter BS. However, I was brainwashed to believe that if I wanted to live a successful life, I would sit still, shut up, and look pretty. And if I didn’t mold myself to their expectations, the threat of death was never too far off. So I’ve played their games in hopes I can live long enough to find my own way. But there’s a light at the end of the tunnel—Apex Academy. If I can make a good impression during my campus tour, then I’ll no longer be living under the same roof as my scheming parents, free to make my own decisions, free to find out who I am. And the fact the academy seems to be crawling with hot-bod professors sure doesn’t hurt. Here I come, early admission! Unfortunately, life has a way of sneaking up on you, and I’m starting to suspect that what I think is real is just more smoke and mirrors. When the truth finally comes to light, I may have to finally decide whether I continue to obey...or burn these expectations to the ground. --- Come Out & Prey is the “preyquel” to Let Us Prey--book 1 in the steamy and mysterious Apex Society Capers standalone paranormal romance series.

A legacy like mine was never meant to be easy. Shaky alliances, deals with the deathless, and an enemy far more powerful than previously believed all weigh heavily on my shoulders. I’d hidden behind the mask of the Yaga for so long, I’d forgotten what it meant to be human. By claiming the fated mate bond with my Riders, I’ve rediscovered parts of myself I’d buried centuries ago, but I wonder if digging up the dead has its own consequences. Our mission to unearth the key needed to stop The Devouring leads us deep into the decaying heart of humanity, but our greatest threat may come from within. As my men and I struggle to overcome the ghosts of our pasts, I pray we can learn to master our collective power—before it consumes us entirely. I am Vasilisa, and I refuse to accept my fate. -- The Yaga’s Riders is based on the folklore of Baba Yaga, with creative liberties taken.
