The Vampire
https://books2read.com/TheVampire
Marlon Byrne was born long ago in a distant country, but for close to a century he’s been buried deep in the ground in the small town of Occident. He’d grown lonely, and the prospect of living out his existence with a mate was too hard to ignore. Which is how he ended up in a grave in the cemetery.
Blake Miller has listened to his grandfather talk about the vampire buried with his treasure of gold for as long as he can remember. One night he enlists his friend Aaron, to finally put those stories to rest.
What they discover that night is far different than either of them imagined. Blake faces a series of unwanted events that he cannot resist and is helpless to ignore. The life he knows is over, but the alternative may cost him more than a little blood.

Jack is thrilled when it's announced that Foggy Basin will have a Pride Festival and immediately signs up Nuts and Bolts for a table at the park. Of course he enlists Isaac to help because there’s no way he’d say no. Neither of them knows what to expect but they're more than willing to experience it all.
Jack and Tig have experienced Pride before, and they’re excited to see what Foggy Basin has planned. The town might be small, but it’s full of heart and lots of curious people. Including a few unfamiliar faces who might stay after they sweep the last bit of glitter off the street.
Pride has finally come to the small town of Foggy Basin! Known mostly for family farms and the eccentric people that live there, the townsfolk are all excited to share in the celebration and curious about the drag show at the park.
Come celebrate the first Pride Day in Foggy Basin. You’ll get to catch up with some old friends and meet some new ones where you’ll always be welcome and you won’t want to leave!

James McKinney has always dreamed of having a house of his own and a place he can call home. After finding the perfect house, and ready to work to make it his home, nothing can put a damper on his happiness. Even when he discovers the house is filled with the previous owner’s belongings.

For Chuck, Tae was his entire world, and the fact they occasionally worked together just made their relationship even more perfect. But something was bothering his sweet boy, and being the natural caretaker he was, Chuck longed to fix it.
But even Tae couldn’t figure out what it was, so how could his daddy help him?
Tae had no issues painting murals for his little friends’ playrooms, but for his own, he was lost. He’d sit for hours in the empty space, his thoughts wandering through a kaleidoscope of ideas yet never landing on just the right one.
And Daddy had worked so hard, painting his room a color that was the perfect canvas to display his art on, but Tae kept coming up empty. Lost and desperate for his own space, those four walls tormented him, and he felt his gift was out of reach.
What will it take for Tae to finally let go and achieve that sense of peace he felt while painting murals for others? And what was it about this room that caused his mind to go…blank?
Sheesh, some artist he was…
Daddy’s Little Artist is part of The Lactin Brotherhood series about men who naturally lactate and the guys who need them. In this standalone, you’ll get a sweet and sexy story that brings together a sexy Daddy and an adorable and loving Little.

A Shared Heart
Help From Beyond Book 1
https://books2read.com/HelpfromBeyond1
Love isn’t always easy to find. Sometimes the cost of finding the wrong love can make one reluctant to accept a true love when it comes along. Sometimes it requires Help from Beyond...
Avery Langhorn has a terrible track record when it comes to choices in men. He’s also had someone watching over him without his knowledge. Avery was born with a heart defect that wasn’t detected until he was a teen and nearly died. The kindness of a stranger’s family allows him to live his life without the possibility of an untimely death, and Avery hopes to somehow pay back the debt he owes his donor, but he’s not sure how.
There’s been a voice in his head since he woke from surgery, leading him down a path with protective advice along the way. It strikes Avery as odd that the voice doesn’t sound like anyone he’s ever met, but it’s always full of knowledge and good advice. The voice has steered Avery clear of heartbreak more than once—that is, when Avery listens to it.
When a stranger comes along to rescue him during a freak accident, the voice tells Avery the man is important to him and he should give the guy a chance. Is the voice right, or is it just Avery’s overactive imagination?
When Avery meets the owner of the voice, should he listen to it, even when it seems impossible that the voice is right?
This work of fiction is a standalone novel without a cliffhanger that ends in an HEA.

⋰⋱★ ⋰⋱★ 
⋰⋱★ ⋰⋱★ ⋰⋱★
Adrik Marinov was raised to be a monster. The heir to a ruthless Russian dynasty, he spent his life groomed in the shadows of violence and blood. He finally did the impossible: he walked away. But freedom is a fragile thing when your father is Viktor Marinov, and Adrik knows that as long as he’s breathing, he’s never truly out.
He escaped the mafia, but he couldn’t escape the target on his back.
Hans Schroeger is everything Adrik isn’t calm, scholarly, and safe. A professor with a novelist’s soul and a laid-back California charm, Hans has built a life out of quiet oceanside mornings and old books. He’s survived heartbreak by choosing solitude, convincing himself that being alone is the same thing as being content.
When Adrik crashes into Hans’s peaceful world in Germany, the collision is instant and undeniable. Hans offers a warmth Adrik never thought he deserved; Adrik offers a dangerous intensity that wakes Hans up.

Ethan Evans has spent his whole life doing what everyone else wants; working the ranch, pretending he’s straight, and trying not to drown under the weight of his parents’ expectations. After failing out of college and getting kicked into the barn like an unwanted stray, he’s stuck under the watchful eye of the new ranch boss… a man he can’t stop noticing.

Carter Higgins shows up at Willow Creek Ranch looking like he stepped out of a modern Western—rugged, calm, and carrying the kind of quiet authority that makes people straighten up without being asked. He’s got a past he doesn’t talk about and a family he’d rather forget. What he does have is discipline, a degree in Agricultural Business, and a talent for reading people like open books.
And Ethan? Ethan is the one person he can’t quite figure out.
Ethan’s trouble. Carter sees it instantly. But he also sees the fear, the longing, and the spark Ethan tries so hard to hide. Carter knows that look—he’s worn it himself.
As the two of them clash, circle, and collide in the dusty heat of Foggy Basin, lines blur fast. Ethan wants freedom. Carter wants peace. Neither expects to want each other.
But on a ranch where secrets don’t stay buried and families don’t forgive easily, falling for the wrong man might cost them everything… or finally give them the chance to live the lives they’ve always wanted.

SWEET SERENDIPITY
Best friend’s brothers are supposed to be off-limits…
Derek
When Nathan asks me to keep an eye on his brother, of course, I say yes. However, Nathan probably wouldn’t have asked if he knew I’ve fallen head over heels for Ryan. Now Ryan’s back in town, and spending time with him has only reinforced my feelings. He makes me want more out of life. He makes me want to take a chance. But what if telling him how I feel destroys our friendship?
Ryan
I’ve had a crush on Derek for years, but he’s way out of my league. Derek is older, he’s successful, and he has his shit together. There’s no doubt we have chemistry as proven by an unexpected encounter—my blood sizzles just thinking about it—but he could have anyone. What would he see in me?
Thank goodness for Valentine’s Day, a heartfelt letter, and a little girl who recognises love when she sees it.
Sweet Serendipity is a sweet and sexy low angst story featuring a brother’s best friend, opposites attract, and an age gap, with a Valentine’s Day happily ever.
Originally published in the Candy Hearts Volume 1 anthology. The story remains unchanged.
