Weekend Update!

Sep 07, 2024 1:18 am

Hi everyone! I'm so glad I've had a few days off. I've been writing nonstop for months so I actually ended up taking a few much needed days off! Now I'm ready to go again.

I hope some of you were able to take advantage of all the zoebub freebies, but if you missed it my book Sugar and Spice Kisses is STILL free until the 7th, so don't wait if you want it for free.

I'm so excited that some of us are doing Holiday stories for Foggy Basin. They are all short stories and will be 99c so be sure to check them out. I'm excited to go back.

Here's all the good stuff!

Nuts and Bolts

Part of Foggy Basin Small town MM Romance

https://books2read.com/NutsANDBolts

Jack Hulbert has worked at the hardware store Nuts and Bolts since he was sixteen. He had big dreams of leaving town and traveling, but five years later, not much has changed, and he worries he’ll end up living the rest of his life in the small town he was born in.

Hudson Carter has been working in Sacramento for the past ten years, managing a big box store. He left Foggy Basin for college in the city and he never once looked back. His parents have owned the hardware store in town for two generations, and he’d hoped to avoid the same fate, but when his father tells him his plans to either sell the store or close it, he has a change of heart.

Hudson has been single for years, and a few bad breakups have left him jaded about finding the perfect partner. But he’s not prepared for the cute, and much younger man who knows far more than he does about running the hardware store and isn’t afraid to tell him. It’s time for this city boy to embrace his country roots and find out what really matters in his life, and a certain country boy is more than willing to help.

Randy Miller is living his dream come true. His cookie business has taken off since he started it just before Christmas, and he’s in love. He never thought he’d find the love he’d always dreamed of with someone he’d known his whole life, and who he’d always thought of as competition.

Eli Canton is happier than he’s ever been. He’s living with Randy, the love of his life. They spend their nights getting to know each other better, and baking when they’re not distracted by each other. He’s proud to know Randy’s business is as successful as it is, and he’s more than willing to help him make it even better.

When Valentine’s Day rolls around, both Randy and Eli want to surprise each other. They’ve only been together a few months, but neither can imagine loving someone else the way they love each other. If they can both pull off their plans, Valentine’s Day could be even more exciting than Christmas was, and definitely full of more surprises. #friends to lovers #Gay Romance #Holiday Romance

Jordan’s family has kept their abilities secret for generations. Mostly to protect themselves from being used in ways that could bring more power to some at the expense of others. Especially when one of those secrets involves the ancient enemy that’s been behind most of the strange happenings around town. Jordan and Bran’s abilities will be tested, along with their relationship. More than their relationship will suffer if they fail.

Lucas has always avoided contact with The Twelve. That changes when Brennan is taken by a group of vampires intent on destroying one mate while capturing the other. After waiting several human lifetimes to find his mate, Lucas won’t sit back and lose Brennan. They’re all forced to seek out The Twelve, the ancient vampires who rule over all others.

When they reach the hidden fortress of the Consortium, they soon realize there’s more going on than they ever could have imagined. They’re forced to become the hunters through an unfamiliar landscape where not only are they the predators, but quite possibly the prey. #vampire, #fated mates #Gay paranormal romance

Blue Star Diner

(Foggy Basin Series)

MM Small Town Romance

Brina Brady

http://books2read.com/bluestardiner

Age Gap, Police Officer, Family Diner Co-owner, Opposites Attract, Families Clashes, Small Town Romance

Twenty-four-year-old Andrew Star, a brooding co-manager of a family diner with a past, finds himself drawn to Officer Duarte—a man with secrets as dark as the night.

Their attraction is electric, but there’s a catch: both men are hiding their true selves. Andrew, scarred by youthful mistakes, yearns for Officer Duarte’s attention. But Officer Duarte, bound by duty and fear, must keep his sexuality hidden to protect everything he holds dear.

As the tension simmers between them, the Star and Duarte families clash. Their feud, fueled by religious differences, threatens to tear apart the very fabric of their lives. Andrew’s cover as a ladies’ man is a fragile shield, while Officer Duarte walks a tightrope between love and survival.

Blue Star Diner is a gripping tale of love, sacrifice, and the courage to embrace who they truly are, even when the odds are stacked against them.

Series page: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CTSV6BD7

Etienne Tremblay has lived more than four lifetimes, and as the head of The House of Tremblay, he takes his responsibilities seriously. One hot night, a chance encounter with a human male takes away Etienne’s unneeded breath. The man is beautiful and friendly, and he quickly becomes Etienne’s latest obsession. The problem: The beast inside him—who can become uncontrollable at times—is obsessed as well, and he refuses to allow Etienne to ruin it for them by adhering to his prissy, outdated goody-two-shoes ethics.

One night while out for a run, Ryker DeWitt nearly takes down a man who is taking out the trash from a restaurant. Unable to get the man out of his thoughts, Ryker returns to the scene of the crime to get a better look at the guy.

When Etienne joins him and his best friend for dinner, Ryker is smitten and agrees to an invitation for a nightcap. What Ryker doesn’t know is there’s a very good chance he might become the nightcap.

How strong is Etienne’s hold on his beast? What happens when Ryker meets Etienne’s twin? Why does it seem that everywhere Ryker turns there’s a Tremblay to greet him?

The Big Easy swelters in the summer. Are you ready for the heat?

Life for Kenny Somerton had just begun. Recent college graduate who snagged his dream job and had been sent to attend a business meeting in New Orleans. A place at the top of his bucket list. What was even more fortuitous was this year his birthday fell during Mardi Gras. How could he not fly in a few days early to celebrate?

The streets were packed, and the bars filled to the brim. It took forever to get through the line to get a drink, and by sheer luck, he snagged a barstool at the same time. Ah, now he could relax and listen to the band play. Their sound was so surreal, so alluring, and Kenny swayed to the music.

Shadow Wraith. The name ghosted through the air and there he was.

Banjo.

An unforgettable first time. Though one sultry night was not enough with Mister Right.

Knocking loudly, Ryker shivered, pulling his coat tighter around him as he waited. He was about to knock again when the door swung open to reveal wary green eyes in a too-pale face framed by dark, cascading waves of blond hair. Ryker blinked, stunned at the outright hostility that pulled the man’s lips down into a scowl, his trim beard and mustache only serving to emphasize it more. His wrinkled long-sleeved T-shirt was backward and inside out, and it twisted near the waistline, revealing a swath of pale abs. It looked as though he’d hastily donned it on his way to the door.

“Pretty sure you’re at the wrong cabin,” the guy growled, moving to shut the door in Ryker’s face. Slamming his hand against it kept Ryker from being left out in the cold.

“Even if it’s the wrong cabin, which I don’t think it is, there’s a storm coming, in case you hadn’t noticed, so I think I’ll just come in out of it, thanks.” Ryker took a step forward and trying to wedge through the opening. The other man held firm, however, and they stood there glaring at each other.

“Look,” the man snapped, “you could be a psycho or a serial killer for all I know, so you ain’t getting in here. I’ve got enough problems without accidentally ending up dead.”

Ryker felt the impatience radiating off the other man, which was fine by him; he was getting pretty goddamned impatient and cold himself.

“You look—” Ryker retorted, studying the guy more intently through bleary, snow-clouded eyes. Something about him looked really damned familiar. “’ve been on the road for hours. It’s fucking cold out here, and it’s snowing buckets. I’m supposed to be at my cousin’s cabin, which the GPS says is right here. So here I am, and I’ve got no intention of driving anywhere until the shit lets up. My cousin’s name is Kyle—”
