This grumpy single dad and upbeat ballerina are both unexpectedly home for the holidays. But is that the only thing they have in common?

Aidan Webb only wants one thing in life, and that’s to do right by his energetic four-year old son, Walt. He’s determined to focus on his business by day, spend lots of time with Walt by night, and avoid romantic entanglements, no matter what. His single-minded focus may make him seem like a grump, but Aidan doesn’t care, as long as Walt has everything he needs.

Kenzie Forrest has been dancing out the romantic stories of the great ballets ever since she was a little girl. But a terrible injury leaves the professional ballerina uncertain if she will ever dance again. Heading back to her hometown to rest and recover, she almost immediately bumps into a gorgeous single dad and his adorable son.

Suddenly, Kenzie is starting to think that all of this could be fate, and her injury happened because it’s time for her to find her own storybook love this Christmas.

But Aidan Webb doesn’t do love – especially with a ballerina who he secretly believes will head for New York again the minute the boot comes off her injured foot. It doesn’t matter that she’s the only one who can make him laugh, or that she has such a connection with his son.

The problem is that she’s already breaking his heart, and he hasn’t even let her into it yet…

From an ex-football star finding out about a secret baby, to a reserved tech genius who opens his heart to a small-town barista and her adopted daughter, you’ll lose yourself in these feel-good books celebrating love, family, and the very special small town community of Trinity Falls.

OPEN EVENTS

 

Meet the Bang Brothers—five hot hockey-playing brothers who are allergic to commitment.

The brothers are about to face off against their newly-retired mother…who suddenly has plenty of time to play matchmaker. Add in their baby sister and some secret dating, a single dad, an accidental pregnancy, a marriage of convenience, and a wrong bed—or two—and these siblings are not going to know what hit them!

 

It's a wild and whimsical world of witchcraft for the Backside of Forty coven. And this time, menopause meets mythical mayhem as Fiona, Aislinn, and Violet stumble into a goddess-sized crisis that will make their hot flashes the least of their concerns.

As Artemis, the divine huntress, dodges a pesky artifact that wants more than just her secrets, the savvy witches of the Backside of Forty dive into action. To save the goddess and her power, the coven's next quest will take them to the gardens of Mount Olympus and into the place no one else dares to treat -- the goddess's own inner sanctum.

But breaking into Artemis's private chambers is just the beginning of this crew's conundrum. With their unmatched wit and sharp spellcasting skills, these witchy heroines must navigate Olympian politics and divine dramas all while keeping tabs on their ever-fluctuating hormones. Can they keep their cool and find the artifact before Artemis loses her mojo and becomes just another mortal woman?

Bewildered by the challenges and dangers that erupt, Ciel tackles the long trek back to Wyvern. The appearance of a silver dragon is the final straw, making her panic. When their bond snaps into place, the attraction between them ignites.

 

By scent alone, Argenis knows that the mother seeking assistance to bring her daughter home is related to his future mate. He will battle any foe to keep her safe and make her his.

Change has come to Wyvern. A centuries-old pact between the founders and their powerful allies could save the inhabitants of the city once again, but only a dragon Daddy can truly guard his mate from harm.

 

A young widow is determined to give her son a quiet Christmas in their new town. 
Will a restless cowboy turn all her plans upside down?

When Cora Davies packs up her life and travels to Trinity Falls just before Christmas, her goal is simple. She wants to raise her seven-year-old son in the same small town where his late father grew up. She buys a cute little cottage on the edge of the woods and puts up a wooden fence to keep her son out of the creek—never expecting that this simple act will put her in a passionate conflict with a man who is known in Trinity Falls for his impulsive energy and his dark good looks.

Jared Webb has had his eyes on the property next to the old fishing hole for months. But by the time he manages to put his offer together, an outsider has already had her bid accepted on the land that means so much to him. And the first thing she does is block off access for everyone else. A calmer man might have tried to explain things, and come to an arrangement with the new owner. But Jared marches right up to her without a plan and puts his foot firmly in his mouth, making himself the laughingstock or the hero of the village, depending on who you ask.

But when he hears the young widow’s tale, the hot-headed hunk feels guilty enough to go back and apologize, and he even offers to lend her a hand around the house. He’s doing it because it’s the right thing to do. It has nothing to do with Cora’s beautiful gray eyes, or her charming, adventure-hungry son, who looks up to Jared and suddenly makes him feel like he could one day be something more than a restless cowboy.

The only trouble is that the young widow has put a barricade around her heart that seems even more impenetrable than the fence that started their squabble in the first place.

Family always comes first, until fate decides that an artifact in peril simply can't wait for my kids to not need me...

Just when I thought I could sneak in some R&R with my two lovely daughters in beautiful Greece, my relentless Relic Keeper alarm bells start ringing. So much for the sweet sounds of a family vacation. Duty simply won't stop calling.

Maisy and Amelie, my little chips-off-the-old-block, feel the urgency too. What's a magical mom to do? Against my better judgment, I let 'em tag along on a little relic rescue mission. They won't be children forever, and they should understand what fate keeps asking me to do.

Our quest takes us on a whirlwind adventure through the gorgeous Greek mountains, where ancient monsters that I thought only existed in myths wait to battle with me at every turn. What I wouldn't give to catch a break!

But vanquishing mythological beasts is just the beginning of this mission, and soon we're wearing our professor hats and diving deep into discussions with some university scholars. Can we unravel the missing relic's mystery? Not without my partners in crime. To save the day, I dial up Kaiya and Aeira, who quickly come charging in to help. Turns out some wicked witch is using the Key to Atlantis to make the city her own, and there's no one else to stop her.

Relaxing with my daughters will simply have to wait, but at least they're watching three strong women save the supernatural world.

 

I thought I knew what I was doing. Walk into the party, meet with the head Angelis, broker a deal.

I never saw Natasha coming. And I sure as hell didn't think I'd be playing with the angels.

Or counting on one to save me from the stickiest situation I've ever gotten myself into.

Risen is a steamy urban romance that combines angels with mafia, feathers with guns, and romance with unexplained angelic activity in the city. This is the second in the Angels of New York series, and the conclusion of the Duca and Natasha duo.

From blind date to blindsided…

I've been living my dream life for so long, it never occurred to me it could turn into a nightmare overnight.

But that’s exactly what happens when my estranged sister lands in prison, leaving me with temporary custody of her moody thirteen-year-old daughter.

At twenty-six, I’m a professional hockey player and bachelor with zero interest in settling down, let alone raising a kid—especially one that hates me.

That’s where the other skate drops…

The stunning new woman in my life is the sunshine to my grumpy, but I can’t stay away, even though I know I shouldn’t start something I can’t finish.

Now I’m outnumbered, and to make things extra fun, the only person my niece hates more than me is my new girlfriend.

I’m learning the hard way there’s no playbook for parenting… or dating.

 

Reeled into a fake marriage with a merman...

How was I supposed to know my new boss was the owner’s nephew? Now, I’ve been fired for speaking up about his roaming hands. And if that isn’t bad enough, I get home early to find my boyfriend bumping the girl next door!

With nowhere to go, I decide to join the Starlight Lottery. The promise of fresh air and a job on an alien planet where no one knows me sounds just about perfect. I’m ecstatic when I’m accepted immediately.

But when I arrive at Aquaria, it’s not a job as a marine botanist that awaits me, but marriage to a triton! Cetius has a powerful tail and an upper body that puts the best bodybuilder to shame. But there’s a catch.

He doesn’t really want a wife. He just needs me to pretend to make his aging grandsire happy in his last days. After, I can choose between a pampered life under the waves or trying my luck on a small human settlement at the surface.

Too bad not everyone’s happy with the arrangement. Some would rather I end up as sushi for the sharks of this planet. And worst yet, I think I’m falling for my pretend triton mate.

Welcome to the Starlight Brides – where luck is optional, but the hot alien is guaranteed!

You’re formally admitted to Creelin University—known locally as “Creepin U.” The only things wilder than the monster shifters prowling around campus are the spicy male-male love stories unfolding between classes. The Nøkk and the Jock is book one, starring an emo shapeshifter and a sunshine human. Each book is a stand-alone M/M spooky romance, but we hope you enroll in them all.
 

I’m pumped to be one of the first humans to attend a monster university, but a minor, negligible, insignificant issue arises almost immediately: My new roommate wants to drag me to his underground realm and take my soul.

He’s a nøkk who could almost pass for human, except his webbed fingers and entirely black eyes give him away. In my attempt to befriend him, I give him three drops of my blood, a black animal, and a bottle of vodka (I hear it’s a nøkk thing). Which apparently triggers some ancient bonding ritual. My bad.

I must admit I’m into him. Maybe those online tests that say I’m only mostly straight are right. But there are a few hiccups: I can’t know his real name. He won’t show me his true form. And he’s both an omen and a cause of drowning … which is troubling, since he’s on the water polo team with me.

Still, something about him calls to me, even if it shouldn’t.
 

This human is mine.

Stay away from him.

 

I’ll fight my way through hell itself to get Luk back. The gods took him for abandoning his purpose, for setting it aside to help me.

And I’ll use every gift Hecate blessed me with and more to fight back. Luk is my soulmate, my other half. A part of me lives in him, and until I’ve helped him earn his rebirth, his memory lives in me.

And I just might. The pantheons have banded together, and me and the family Luk and I have created are public enemy number one. But we aren’t the only ones they have to fight. Eons of suppressed entities are rising, and their collective anger threatens to shake the Earth.
