SorenMy life is super simple—there’s my labrador retriever Tibby, my job as a cybersecurity expert, and my cabin on the edge of a beautiful lake in Foggy Basin. I have virtual coworkers who are kind, I have real-life friends who are generous, and I belong to a thriving and accepting LGBTQ...

Noah. I need a fresh start, and Foggy Basin, California, is the perfect place to begin my new life. The accepting small town is such a contrast to the large town I came from. Making a success of my dog-training business—Tricks, Tips, and Backflips—is important to me, and I totally lucked out when my straight best friend, Christian, decided to move with me. He makes my life easier. I just hope he'll be as happy here as I am. Christian. Following my best friend to Foggy Basin was a no-brainer. I’ve been in love with him since we were five years old.

Christian and I have spent holidays together since we were kids, but now we're married, I need this Christmas to be extra special. Whatever I plan has to show him how much it means to celebrate as husbands. I've no clue how to do that, but we have a great lot of memories together, a house full of very special rescue pets, and I'm willing to be creative. Noah’s Holiday is a 8k short story about best friends in love, their menagerie of pets, a meddling senior citizen, and Foggy Basin —the small town they now call home.

Christian Pride Day is coming to Foggy Basin! Of course I’ve volunteered! I can’t wait to see the shows and to connect with all my friends in town. I also want to ensure my busy husband has a good time. As I meet old and new friends, I find two really important people in my life are avoiding each other. Maybe some meddling is in order…?

This set includes two connected novellas: Saving TroyTroy has always been fiercely independent, but no amount of willpower can overcome a badly broken leg. It's just galling that his hospital next of kin still listed his best friend's father, and that Rocco insists on helping. Rocco offered up space in his one-bedroom apartment without thinking it through. Troy isn't just his son Marco's best friend, but also someone Rocco cares about, a young man he watched grow into a strong, independent and gorgeous adult.

SamI'm anticipating the best Christmas ever—my husband, our dog and two rescue cats, and my niece Quinta and her fiancé will all be with us. It's the perfect family dinner I've wanted all my life. Then an unexpected guest turns my perfect Christmas into chaos. I'd be frustrated, even angry...

She fled the lab. She found the burrow. Now she belongs to something ancient… and endlessly fertile. After escaping a brutal underground facility, Nova stumbles into a forgotten alien chamber pulsing with bioluminescent life. But the Elders—an extinct race thought lost to time—are very much alive… and starving for a fertile mate. Chosen by ritual and crowned by light, Nova must endure trial after sensual trial, each designed to break her boundaries and awaken something buried deep within. But the final test? Carrying the brood—and becoming the Mother of a new generation of sacred spawn.

She thought she was chosen to die. Instead, she was chosen to breed. When Mira is offered to the Hive as a living sacrifice, she expects pain, oblivion, maybe even death. But the ancient alien beneath the altar has other plans. It doesn’t kill her. It claims her. Again. And again. And again. Drenched in sacred pheromones, her body becomes the temple through which the Hive receives its future. But as her bond with the Hivebeast deepens, Mira begins to crave the very ritual meant to break her. And when the ruling Queen feels her power slipping, only one can rise. The beast. The altar.
