Andy’s hesitant to give up the job in the city he worked so hard for, but the more time he spends with Link in their hometown the harder it is to go back to Sacramento to work. The town he couldn’t wait to leave has now become a refuge from the big city life he thought he wanted.
Link is happy, but there’s one more thing he wants to do, and he’ll need help from all their friends and family to pull it off. He asks Andy to marry him one more time but this time he’s got a date, and it’s only a couple of days away. It’s a lot to ask, but if they all pitch in, it’ll be as special as Link and Andy deserve.

Desperate for a job Stevie takes the first one he’s offered even if he’s not sure he’ll survive it. Being one of Santa’s elves at the local mall has never been something he’d consider, but he’s desperate.

When he finds Jordan injured and bordering on hypothermia he gets right to work and with help from his partner they rush him down the mountain.
Neither Trace nor Jordan were looking for love when they met, but maybe an unfortunate break will give each of them a chance to find the love they’ve both craved.

MM Rockstar Romance, Rock Bands, Hurt to Comfort, Rebellious Singer, Mysterious Drummer
Jace Adams, a rebellious rock singer, commands the stage with a raw energy that denies his past. At sixteen, he chose the uncertainty of the streets over the constraints imposed by his strict religious upbringing. A decision leads him to Nico, a drummer with a rhythm as mysterious as his mafia heritage. Together, they form the band Sacred Fire, blending their gritty street style into a symphony of success.
Nico Greco, the drummer navigates the treacherous waters of his family’s mafia ties while drumming up a storm on stage. Despite the sparks flying between him and Jace, he keeps his heart guarded, adhering to his father’s stern warning: love is a luxury that could cost him his life.
Jace harbors a secret passion for Nico, a love so intense he would forsake all others. But his vices—drinking, smoking, and a revolving door of romances—keep Nicko at arm’s length. Unbeknownst to Nico, Jace is ready to sacrifice it all for a chance at true harmony with him.

https://books2read.com/TlTwinkle
Series link: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CW19RBG4
If not for the beautiful bear I just met, I might be cursed forever.
Twinkle is a snarky elf with more attitude than brains. When he tests Santa’s patience one too many times, Santa turns him into an elf figurine and banishes him from the North Pole. Much to his annoyance, he is packaged and mailed to a stranger’s address. From there, he must shift into human form to find his fated mate by Christmas or become an elf figurine forever.
Monty is a bear shifter who prefers to live away from his family and pack. When a package appears on his doorstep on Christmas morning, he opens it to discover a cute elf statue. He can find no return address, and sets the elf on his coffee table. When he next looks, a handsome man with pointed ears is sitting where the statue was.
The man says his name is Twinkle, and he begins to tell Monty a ridiculous story about a real North Pole and a Santa who doesn’t understand him.
Monty is not sure he can trust Twinkle, but something about the elf draws him in as he listens to his silly stories of multiple Santas, elves, flying reindeer, hidden Christmas villages, and more. And when Twinkle begins to go into heat, Monty feels his own rut begin to surface. Can he believe Twinkle’s tall tales? Whatever happens, this could turn out to be the best or the worst Christmas present ever.
Santa’s Naughty Elves brings you a new series of Christmas magic, fated mates, and adorable babies from some of your favorite mpreg authors. Be sure to grab them all and see what knotty fun Santa has brought good alphas and omegas this holiday season.

The Road to Rocktoberfest 2024
Coming 11/8/2024
https://books2read.com/ThreePartHarmony
Series Page: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CST821YC
Mike Emory: I’m the drummer for Chaos, a band I created with my best friend, Fletcher back when we were teenagers with big ambitions and stars in our eyes. A chance meeting with the rock god, Dagger Drummond catapulted our careers into the stratosphere. There’s no looking back now because keeping the trajectory of our rising star heading skyward requires a dedication and persistence I wasn’t prepared for. Humor helps me keep my life simple. I’m known for having the ability to laugh at just about anything—including myself. I may be a successful musician but unlike my best bud, I’m unlucky in love. Instead I became an Olympian at hook-ups. My favorite combination is a triad. But, finding two perfect partners to share life with long-term is unlikely to happen. It’s a good thing I have the broad and capable shoulders of my personal security guard to cry on because sometimes life is hard on the soul. And sometimes love creeps up when you least expect it, and in the least likely place of all—right under your nose.
Griffin Sanstrom: My job is to protect Michael which isn’t always easy to do. He thinks he’s a comedian, when most often he’s just being a brat. I’m on to him though, because I know sometimes those who laugh the loudest are the ones crying on the inside. I’m supposed to be his shadow but the closer I find myself getting, the weaker I am at putting distance between us. I want to be with him all the time—even when I’m not on duty. Now doing my job objectively has become a problem. Working in personal security we’re not allowed to have distractions from the job, but what happens when the man you’ve fallen for becomes the biggest distraction of all?
Three Part Harmony is part of the multi-author Road to Rocktoberfest 2024 series. Each book can be read as a standalone, but why not read them all and see who hits the stage next?

A Murder for Crow:
Retiring from the sport he loved had never been part of Crow’s five-year plan. Unfortunately, the head injuries he’s amassed over years of Mixed Martial arts fighting have left him little choice but to throw in the towel and begin a new, shaky road toward…what? He’s got no clue, that’s for sure. In fact, the only thing he’s certain of is that living a few short blocks from the gym is not the way to put the sport behind him, not when he still hasn’t told any of his friends or training partners exactly why it is he suddenly decided to hang up his gloves.
Moving is the only option that comes to mind, and what better place to retreat to than the beauty of the Vermont wilderness he loved visiting in his younger days? After all, he still has family there, and it’s far removed from the sport he’s struggling to walk away from.
Speaking of walking away. Ever since he found proof of his late husband’s infidelity, Jaylon’s been wishing the man had abandoned him long before his illness stole his life. At least then he wouldn’t be torn between fury and mourning, wondering what he’d done to drive away the man he’d loved. He’s way too old to be starting over, or at least, that’s what he tells himself before Crowley “Crow” Davies pulls up to the cabin Jaylon was renting out, a beautiful hitchhiker in tow.
Now he’s got one eye on Crow and one on Owen, a budding new dynamic forming between them, but will it all come crashing down when Crow’s best friend, Jesse, shows up, looking to reconnect? A former fighter who left the sport two years before, he’s been friends with benefits with Crowley since before either stepped foot in a cage to fight. The chemistry between the sheets is smokin’ hot, but there’s always been something missing, something the two never could put their fingers on.
Can the inclusion of Owen and Jaylon provide the pieces they’ve always needed or will someone find themselves left out in the cold?
A Murder for Crow can be found here: https://www.amazon.com/Murder-Crow-Layla.../dp/B0BL1B2777
...And All Shall Fade to Black:
Having barely moved into his new apartment, Jax never expected to break up a fight between his new neighbors, resulting in a physical altercation and a visit from the cops. Never in his wildest dreams did he imagine that it would lead to him meeting Danny, the cute theater manager, and playwright that lived next door. Unfortunately, his first impression of Danny wasn’t exactly a favorable one.
Jax already has his own issues to deal with, between his past problems with his mother, his new job as a piercer in his sister’s tattoo shop, and his struggles with an eating disorder; the last thing he plans to add is a relationship. Yet Danny isn’t easy to ignore. When they find themselves bonding after Danny shows him around town, and more when Jax offers to help with sets for his latest play, it becomes harder and harder for him to ignore the connection forming between them.
As Jax’s insecurities and food issues grow more and more out of control, he finds himself turning to Danny for help, rather than his longtime friends Callum and Max who lives just downstairs. Danny’s mix of patience, stubbornness, and tough love make it harder and harder for Jax to keep his distance, and somewhere in the course of their daily lives, they find themselves moving from being friends to being more.

One of the things that’s been an almost constant theme in both Guitars and Cages and now Guitars and Choices, is the idea of the hero’s journey. While Asher may seem like a very unlikely hero, and in fact would consider there to be absolutely nothing heroic about himself, he really is the driving force that brings the family back together in Guitars and Cages and keeps them together as the story continues.
Flawed, bent, a little bit broken, Asher loves his family fiercely, despite what they might do to one another and to him. In fact, one of the biggest conflicts, for him, is how to remain loyal to all of them without taking sides and ultimately, losing one of them in the process. Loss scares him, he’s seen enough of it and so he holds tight even when maybe he should back away, and in dealing with older brother, Cole, he gets a bit burned for it, time and time again.
In Guitars and Choices, he finally begins to step away from that, mostly because he has a great support system to show him how a loving family should function and how not to end up ripping one another apart even when they disagree. He’s also coming to see the importance of living his life openly and honestly, and with Conner by his side, there is so much growth in Guitars and Choices that I can’t wait for readers to see where he’s at by the end of the novel.
Need a Good Cry? 
Readers have labeled Guitars and Cages an Ugly Cry book! Asher is a mess! A scarred, beautiful, disaster of a wretch
You’ll hate him before it’s through.
But you’ll fall in love with him too. 
You may even cry WITH him and cheer for him to get his happy ending. 
Watch him try to resist the love his heart longs for.
Guitars and Cages: Asher Logan is a bartender and a pretty wicked guitar player, when he isn’t wrecking his hands fighting in a cage. With a past he keeps hoping to outrun, Asher’s been on a downward spiral for longer than he can remember. When his sister-in-law leaves Rory, his eight-year-old nephew, in his care, Asher is forced into two things he’s never been good at: sobriety and responsibility. As he struggles to care for Rory, his own life begins to unravel.
When Asher’s brother, Alex, turns up, presenting as a girl and announcing her new name is Alexia, it further complicates matters, as does the arrival of his new neighbor, Conner.
When the siblings’ older brother, Cole, reacts violently to Alexia, Asher is placed squarely in the middle of a family conflict which compels him to confront who he pretends to be versus who he really is.
Asher must choose who to trust and who to finally walk away from.
Warning: Self-harm, suicidal ideology, transphobia, accident/injury/death, cage fighting, fire, attempted suicide, threats of violence, dysfunctional family, mentions of past trauma, abusive parent (past)
Guitars and Cages can be found here: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0BJYPXPQR
Guitars and Choices: Staying in the city could cost him his life, but going home means facing a buried past and truths long hidden.
Asher Logan has been a lot of things: runaway, guitarist, cage fighter, and cowboy, but the one thing he’s always avoided was being a father to his young son. Now faced with returning to his family's ranch, he’s forced to deal with the knowledge that the move would put him right down the road from Shawn. Still, it’s better than staying in the city, with drunken, bitter older brother Cole, whose anger and prejudices have made him difficult to be around.
Add in the fact that Asher’s new boyfriend, Conner, is eager to make the move with him, and there’s little argument that he can make against it. But returning home means facing demons, and the barn he’s avoided since the day his father caught him and his first love together in the hay. Speaking of his father, when the old man finds out Asher is back, he knows it will only be a matter of time before he demands Asher come to the prison to see him.
Moving means facing a buried past and truths long hidden, but staying in the city isn’t good for anyone, least of all Asher’s young nephew, Rory. It’s a hard road to face, filled with tough choices, and an old secret that just might provide more questions than answers.
Warning: Self-harm/suicidal ideology, accident/near drowning, mentions of death/grief, dysfunctional family, and transphobia
