Summary: As far as rock star Gareth Kendrick, the last true bard in Faerie, is concerned, the only good Unseelie is . . . well . . . there’s no such thing. Two centuries ago, an Unseelie lord abducted Gareth’s human lover, Niall, and Gareth has neither forgotten nor forgiven. Niall O’Tierney, half-human son of the Unseelie King, had never lost a wager until the day he swore to rid the Seelie court of its bard. That bet cost him everything: his freedom, his family—and his heart. When he’s suddenly face-to-face with Gareth at the ceremony to join the Seelie and Unseelie realms, Niall does the only thing inhumanly possible: he fakes amnesia. Not his finest hour, perhaps, but he never revealed his Unseelie heritage, and to tell the truth now would be to risk Gareth’s revulsion—far harder to bear than two hundred years of imprisonment. Then a new threat to Gareth’s life arises, and he and Niall stage a mad escape into the Outer World, only to discover the fate of all fae resting on their shoulders. But before they can save the realm, they have to tackle something really tough: mending their own broken relationship.

Bart I planned to claim my fated soulmate on his twenty-fifth birthday, but quite by chance I discovered Joffre the year before. We had shared the strong bond as he grew to be an adult, but he has no clue what the persistent sensations were that he was experiencing. However, his cute Werewolf pal Craig sure did, and was more than ready and willing to show me his sharp teeth, silly puppy. The fly in the ointment? My fated soulmate has no clue the supernatural world even exists. Craig So what if I speak my mind and use descriptive language. What the hell, now I’m accused of having no damn filter. Add to that some sexy rich vampire tells me his fated soulmate is none other than Joffre, my lifelong best friend, who has no clue I’m a Werewolf.

Joffre I have weird unsettling feelings lately that something big is about to happen. Craig has been on edge as well, and lately keeps disappearing at night, but the last couple of days however, he has been sticking to me like glue. I had the same nagging vibes earlier this year, big time, like I was expecting someone. My birthday yesterday was a bust, now Craig says he isn’t feeling well, and told me that I should go outside for a walk to calm down. The strangest part is that the pestering expectation has grown almost unbearable. I’m headed outside for some air. Vito Bart has been making me crazy worrying about his fated soulmate. He enlisted that sexy, dirty mouth Craig, hot little Werewolf that he is, to smooth the way for him to meet Joffre. Well one look at Craig and it was game over for me! I cannot keep my hands off his hairy muscular body, but then again, I do like to pet puppies. Bart got the message, but he told us to knock it off. Craig is acting smug now, but he forgets I know my way around a collar and leash if necessary.

Summary: For All The Right Reasons introduced Ben and Simon Gallo, the two brothers who together created what would become the legendary rock band Reckless. For every step towards glory which Ben took on their rise to fame, Simon's footsteps faltered along that same journey. Nothing he did seemed to measure up and it was one misstep after another, until Simon no longer knew the man he was looking at in the mirror. Substance abuse covered up his anger and far too many poor decisions to count concealed what he really wanted in his life: acceptance and self-love along with a meaningful and committed relationship with a soul mate. Beat Of His Own Drums is Simon's story, and gives insight to who Simon really is as a man and why he did the things he did to try and find his happiness. Everyone deserves a second chance at life and even at love, and Simon is ready for his. He's walked the walk and talked the talk, now Simon wants the world to know why he's always had to go through life using the beat from his own drums to guide him. This 31,000+ word M/M novella has an HEA ending, and is a follow-up story to For All The Right Reasons, M/F, which I would recommend reading first. These stories have now become a series, and a full-length novel will follow Beat Of His Own Drums, which will release in the future to continue Simon and Ben's story.
