Summary: At 130 years old, lone Nova Scotian werewolf Malachi Powers never intended to find a mate, until fate sent him Quinn Boucher, a much younger man. Now, after only a few months, Malachi can't imagine his life without Quinn. But when Quinn returns to Nova Scotia, Malachi learns that the man who belongs to him has been keeping a secret--something Malachi cannot allow. At 22, Quinn Boucher has been through more trauma than most people survive in a lifetime. Although he is healing, lately his nightmares have worsened. After he lashes out during a flashback, his employer sends him to Nova Scotia to rest with Malachi at the home of Anax Silas Creighton, ruler of the Canadian werewolves. Face to face with his mate, the man he calls Sire, Quinn can no longer hide the truth. As Quinn battles his demons with Malachi by his side, a new threat faces them. Silas's newest guard, Andy, has malevolent intentions against Silas--and the rest of the werewolves of Canada. Only Quinn, with his clairvoyant abilities, can see what Andy truly is and the magic the other man wields, and only Quinn is left to fight when Andy takes control of Malachi, Silas, and the other guards. But to save his mate and the others, Quinn must first defeat the worst of his buried memories--memories now fueled by Andy's power. This book includes intense descriptions of flashbacks to abuse and sexual assault, harsh language including one use of the F-slur against a gay man, depictions of PTSD, and on-page unaliving of an evil werewolf. The main characters' relationship includes a VERY large age gap (over a century; werewolves live a long time!) and one character consensually commanding the other.

Summary: Dating was hard enough before Tom's ex came back from the dead. It's been decades since Tom last dated, and he's not exactly a hot young hockey star anymore. Even if he remembered how, no one measures up to memories of Wyte, the gorgeous, effervescent man who died when Tom was still too young and closeted for commitment. And then, after a particularly discouraging evening, Tom finds Wyte waiting for him. And he hasn't aged a day. Wyte hates Faerie. The half-truths. The fancy parties. The endless rules about everything, even who he's allowed to befriend. All he wants is to return to his human lover Tommy, the sexy hockey player who makes him laugh as often as he makes him beg. The man who likes Wyte for who he is, instead of who he's supposed to be. So, when he's offered one night back after decades away, he takes it. Turns out, humans age. And Tommy's a whole new version of irresistible. It's only meant to be a single night. A chance for forgiveness and reignited passion. For more, Wyte will have to realize he can be more than a frivolous, silly fae. And Tom will have to risk his wounded heart by trusting the man who he's already mourned. Happily Ever Wyte & Tom includes two previously published novellas that tell the magical tale of a single, spicy night of reunion. It also includes 20k in new content about Wyte and Tom's past and future. It features an indulgent former tough guy turned retired single-dad softie and a silly, playful rabbit fae with far more depth and potential than he's entirely comfortable with. There's an unusual take on age gaps, found family, snark and dry humor out the ears, enough spice to make the eyes water, reconciliation, and a life built together after too long apart. This is a standalone collection in the Fallen for a Fae series. Each book follows a different couple (though we do love cameos).
