Following his father’s sudden death, he inherits the family home, a modest place with no redeeming features other than the roomfuls of memorabilia left by his grandfather. Seeing the house as a chance to … Read more

That’s probably something I should unpack with my therapist at some point… Mickey O’Brien 31, Irish, professional thug… oh ya, and I’m next in line to take over the O’Brien crime syndicate once … Read more

Genre: Gaylit, Romance LGBTQ+ Category: Gay Reviewer: Ulysses, Paranormal Romance Guild Get It On Amazon About The Book When Freddie Chandra went through the casino kitchen to see what was causing the commotion, he expected to find the usual: a cluster of vehicles in the alley, all refusing to give way.
