Summary: The Horsemen of the Apocalypse have been summoned once more, but before Conquest can bring humanity to its knees, his love for a broken Angel may bring Conquest to his. As the first Horseman, Conquest has one task: bring complete chaos to the Earthly Dimension and pave the way for his brethren—War, Famine, and Death. It’s been a long time since the rider of the white horse has been on Earth, and he looks forward to bringing back the balance, one murder at a time. He has no love for the Heavens, and he has no use for a baby Angel that is weaker even than a mortal, until a sinister plan takes shape in his mind. For as long as Raziel can remember, all of Heaven has shunned him—after all, he’s an Angel without access to his Power. When he’s given a task well beyond his abilities, he finds himself thrown into the path of a Horseman who seems determined to make him question everything he’s ever known. He should be terrified and nothing more, but instead … he feels something for which he doesn’t even have a name. Soon, Conquest and Raziel find themselves standing between Heaven and Hell, the lines between good and evil starting to blur, and loyalties being stretched and twisted. Conquest begins to realize that Raziel may hold the key to the future of Earth, and if Conquest doesn’t keep his Angel close, more than just his heart might be at stake. After millennia of war, will an Angel cast aside by Heaven be the first Horseman’s undoing? Content warnings: Religious themes, extreme violence, gore, and others. Please see the full list at the front of the book. Arachnophobia warning: There is also a dog-sized pet spider named Paul who just wants to be loved. This is a paranormal romance that contains a HFN filled with snark and morally questionable characters.

Summary: Michelin Empyrean, a rare white raven, has lived for centuries and he’s tired of loneliness. What makes life more burdensome is increasing responsibility and leadership of socially inclined corvid shifters.

When one wayward creature’s thieving antics come to his attention, Mich decides to personally take the man to task. Terrel Slade is a crow. Practically everything he owns is stolen. His stash of pretties, and the fact he’s never been caught, makes him proud as a peacock. As much as he’d like to be the beautiful bird he struts around imitating, he believes his crow is sexier. Terre is no more than an omnivorous crow shifter with a penchant for shiny objects. A cunning bird, his existence is crammed with innovative ways to irritate his archenemy, the raven. That’s about to change. When Michelin halts Terrel’s lifestyle, more than sparks fly—the whole damn forest might burn to the ground. #darkfantasy #drama #enemiestolovers #gay #HEA #paranormal #religerotica #romance #shifters #travel #violence

Summary: Beauty is not fleeting when worn by an immortal. An erotic liaison will leave humans vulnerable to blood thirsty monsters! Brax Sevan oversees immortals populating earth; wily creatures humans ridiculously explain away with childish tales of boogeymen. He ensures annihilation of beasts who become careless and those who defiantly flaunt his rules. Curiosity as much as outrage sends him to delve into why one of his was killed by another vampire. What Brax finds sways steadfast objectivity, strips him of calm reserve and aloofness honed over many lifetimes. The guilty individual starts a fire that will not be suppressed and what Brax does next may cost his powerful position. Cador Ridge spent hundreds of years as a consort to emperors, kings, powerful men from every walk of life, but he bows to no one. Then or now. His existence, though hard and sometimes rife with loneliness, is tolerable until another like him dies at Cador’s hand. Running was useless as there is no place to hide from their self-appointed leader whom he has managed to avoid for centuries. He didn’t expect Lord Vampire himself to pay a personal visit nor did Cador believe the contemptuous bastard would steal everything—but his life!
