Some memories are better forgotten.

Jules can’t remember his past; he only knows here and now. Oddly, being an amnesiac doesn’t even bother him much until he turns around one evening and finds a guy following him.

The guy, Rae, is an old friend who’s come back to the city to help Jules regain his memory—or so he claims. Getting to know Rae sparks new life in Jules … but also gives him a distinctly bad feeling that recovering his lost memories could put them both in mortal danger.

Flashpoint is a 13.9K word paranormal mystery MM romance short story. It features an amnesiac who’s trying to figure out what the heck happened to him, a public-school teacher who knows more than he’s saying, mysterious happenings that desperately need unraveling, and a hard-won HEA both guys deserve. (Then again, does ‘ever after’ really have to mean ‘the end’ ...?)

Summary: Confronting the past isn’t always easy, especially when you’ve made the biggest mistake of your life. Lauren: Aisling and I were engaged to be married. I loved her, and I couldn’t imagine life without her by my side. But everything changed when I received a letter out of the blue telling me she was cheating on me. I’d never had reason to doubt her, but it placed fears in my heart. Unfortunately, that was what the letter’s sender wanted. It seemed the start of a story I’d heard too many times before, and I took some time away to consider our future together. By the time I returned a few days later, it was too late. Aisling: Years have passed since I ended my relationship with Lauren, but now I've found out who sent the letter that destroyed our relationship. I find myself questioning whether I should contact her again. Is it too late to give her another chance? Her social media accounts say she’s single, but I don’t know if there’s someone else in her life now or how she feels about me. Is it too late to re-discover what might’ve been?

Summary: Kaede Hiyashi is sick and tired of living in the shadow of his father, supervillain Doctor Terror. Brilliant but crazy, Doctor Terror sends his son to Corwyn, California, for reasons Kaede can’t imagine. Sent to accompany and protect him is Ash, a genetically modified supersoldier raised and trained by an infamous death cult. Corwyn is lousy with superheroes, led by the obnoxious Dark Justice. Kaede finds himself dancing around Dark Justice as he digs into his father’s mysterious business and teaches his socially awkward—but physically lethal—bodyguard to acclimate to “normal” life. Can these two wacky supervillains figure out what Doctor Terror wants them to do, solve the riddle of the villain known as Black Hand, and keep Dark Justice from raining on their bloody parade? The course of love—and world domination—never did run smooth.
