Troublesome Temptations

Love doesn't factor into the life of an Omega.

Raised in England's premier Omega House, Hawthorne Fuller faces only one possible future: wed a nobleman and bear his heirs. It's a fate he never questions, despite his misgivings when he signs a marriage contract binding him to an earl he's never met.

A dangerous mishap on the way to his wedding forces him to take shelter with a wholly unsuitable man. A man who arouses a maelstrom of feelings Thorne has never experienced in his sheltered life.

With his body, and his heart, awakened to forbidden desire, Thorne discovers the security of a noble marriage holds little appeal. But the future may not be his to decide.

Even the best kept secrets can refuse to stay buried.

It has been years since Wil Berecroft sought anything beyond the simple living his alehouse affords him. He isn't looking for an omega, certainly not for one betrothed to the despised Earl of Maebard, and finding the man hiding in his barn threatens to set Wil's entire life on end.

The secrets Wil keeps are in danger of resurfacing, but he can't deny his attraction to Thorne. Torn between the omega and the life he's built, Wil can't swear he'll make the right choice...but no matter what he chooses nothing will ever be the same.

A Regency-flavored m/m romance, featuring instalove, mpreg, and a hearty helping of spice.

Lieutenant Detective Jenna Ferrari excels at catching criminals, and while she’s come a long way toward taming her temper—thanks to her loving partner, Dr. Miranda McLeod—this case may get the better of her. While Jenna and Randi are in the audience of a regional drag competition, the contestant favored to win is being murdered backstage. Deciding she needs a man on the inside to really find out what’s going on, Jenna sends a member of her team undercover as the murdered queen’s replacement. Will he reveal the killer or long-concealed truths about himself? Who killed the queen? Was it a nasty anti-LGBTQ protestor, a homophobic pastor, the victim’s ex-boyfriend, another competitor, or someone nobody suspects? The killer isn’t done.

Summary: Though he is the youngest son of a royal duke, Etan is a scholar at heart, happiest in a library surrounded by his books. He contentedly juggles his work for the prince’s government with his studies of the history and legends of Tournai, a subject of particular interest to him because he shares the secret magical Talent that runs in the royal bloodline. However, Etan’s peaceful world turns upside down when his best friend—the man he secretly loves—unexpectedly marries someone else. Tristan is the oldest son of a wealthy merchant, raised to shoulder responsibility for the family business one day. That day comes far sooner than anticipated, and he makes a deathbed promise to his father to marry the woman his father chose and become head of the company and family. Tristan values his friendship with Etan and has always been attracted to him, but he can’t forsake his duty to his father, even if it means giving up the possibility of having Etan as a lover. A year later, Tristan is a widower with an infant daughter and a mother who demands he marry again quickly—something Tristan resists. Circumstances throw Etan and Tristan together again, but even as they succumb to the desires they’ve always harbored, Etan battles his feelings, wary of being cast aside once more. When the unimaginable happens, Etan and Tristan must come together and support each other through the ordeal…and maybe beyond.
