Out of Balance

College students Jeremy and Ryan both have rocky pasts, but when Ryan discovers his friend has a dangerous fascination for gay bondage, he decides to show Jeremy that giving up control isn't safe or sexy. He should know--he's seen the dark side of BDSM up close. However, his plan backfires as the two men find that their needs and desires dovetail so nicely. Lust drives them both deeper into a 24/7 lifestyle, but neither of them is prepared to deal with the emotional backlash.

When fear threatens to destroy their relationship, Jeremy has to not only submit, but he must also find a way to help his master heal well enough to admit to his own needs. If Jeremy can find a way to confront the past, maybe he can repair their relationship and rediscover their balance as dominant and submissive. If he fails, they both lose.

Shepherd, Slave & Vow

Bored with the privileges and duties of a member of the first family, Ferro finds himself in the slave tents as a consequence of his antics, knowing he’ll be rescued before long.

For the first time, Ferro’s met someone who seems immune to his wiles, and he’ll soon learn that Lysias has more to teach him than just shepherding.

Desert World Allegiances

A young man is condemned to slavery, a common enough occurrence on the border planet of Livre. Especially since Temar and his sister wasted hundreds of gallons of water on a planet where water is life and the homeworlds are not quick to come to anyone's rescue. Livre has to follow its own justice if it wants to survive.

However, this time a priest named Shan is determined to prevent one more life to be lost to a system that destroys human souls. When it turns out that the danger reaches far beyond Temar and his criminal prank, Shan finds himself choosing between his vows and his heart. Can the two men unravel a plot that threatens the entire town, and can they do it before Temar is broken by a system of slavery that has twisted out of control?

Insistent Hunger

Paige has a small life in a fairly small town, and that's fine with her. She's happy with her chickens, her job as a police officer, and her questionable home improvement skills. However, when her rookie partner shows up on her doorstep one night, everything changes. He's panicked, bloody, dead, and still begging for help. And Paige is feeling an unfamiliar desire, a primal need for her partner that leaves her shaken and out of control.

Brady's dark good looks attracted the attention of a monster, but that doesn't mean he has to become a monster. Instincts might whisper about dark thoughts, but he trusted Paige with his life on the streets, and he'll trust her now. If trusting her means fighting this visceral need to be in her bed, he'll even try to ignore a growing hunger for this woman whose strength he admires.

His conscience couldn’t handle the murder of an innocent bystander, and he had to turn his back on his mentor, Petroc “Pete” Barbu, a man he’d admired and lusted after. Pete made no apologies for his job as an enforcer, but he’d never planned to get himself or Carl involved in the murder of a reporter. When Carl turned state’s evidence, Pete couldn’t even pretend to be surprised.

Now Pete’s still on the run, and Carl is unceremoniously dumped out of witness protection. Two men tangled in their own pasts, they will have to face the shifting moral lines in the sand that drove them to make disastrous choices. Once Pete and Carl were partners who trusted each other with their lives—now they’re struggling to save their souls.

However Da’shay, an exotically beautiful alien with her own very strange ideas, keeps ruining his plans.

The hot-enough-to-melt-your-ereader sex between them revolves around the BDSM aspect of dominance and submission, with the woman in the dominant role. There's no S&M going on, just light bondage. There's enough humor in their relationship as well to break the tension generated by the tight spots the crew of the Kratos continue to find themselves in. READ MORE

Gathering Storm

Vinnie Bernardi wants to leave his past as a repressed rich boy behind and find himself as a proud, gay submissive. Unfortunately, there's only one man who has ever successfully dominated him, and that man is unattainable. But Vinnie is slowly falling apart and needs a top to help him hold it together, so he decides to go ahead and make his move on Charleston, the military academy instructor at the center of his very favorite fantasies.

Instead of finding his dream come true, Vinnie discovers the reality of Charleston's world is darker, more brutal, and more dangerous than he ever suspected. When Vinnie bumbles his way into Charleston's attentions, he stirs up ghosts from the other man’s mysterious past—phantoms deadly enough that Vinnie begins to fear he might not survive long enough to get what he truly needs: love and a firm hand to shelter it.

Urban Shaman

New York City cop Miguel Rassin's life is going downhill fast. He's got a spotty record from the Army, a one-night stand who won't go away, and a flock of reporters trying to crucify him for shooting a civilian waving a toy pistol. Now kids are turning up missing in the Bronx, and he's partnered with by-the-book Detective Rob Jackson, a man with problems of his own. Their first suspect is a local shaman, Nikolai Adelman, who is either the strangest holy man ever or a con working his own angle.

Miguel's trying to navigate a baffling case that has more questions than answers, caught between a surprising physical desire for Nikolai and his new partner's suspicions about a shaman who claims supernatural forces are at work. Miguel has always tried to avoid relationships out of guilt and fear, but Nikolai sees the darkness in Miguel's heart—and the fortitude Miguel has hidden deep inside, a strength that will help him solve the case and reclaim his life.

Obsidian Bookshelf

Miguel is a terrific character: tough, brooding, practical, but sometimes introspective. He's very believable as a man and a cop. Rob is a very strong supporting character: abrasive, loyal, complex, stubborn, and a bit of a maverick. Nikolai is extroverted, intellectual, cheerful, and fearless. The three of them are very different and it's a treat to see them struggling to interact and understand each other. READ MORE
