Hi everyone! Last week was a busy one, I didn't expect Blinding Light to release as soon as it did, but I'm thrilled it's live. It was fun for me to go back and listen to Easy and Liam's story and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. Thank you to those of you who have read Cookie. I wasn't sure how it would do but people seem to like smalltown romance with a happy ending. Which you probably know I love to write so I am thrilled that other people seem to like Cookie too!

I'm hard at work on Finding Isaac. Isaac and Tig were so fun to write in Nuts and Bolts Holiday, but nothing is ever easy as they both prove. It'll be out soon, and the first book in Foggy Basin two is out on Friday!!

Here's the good stuff :)

New Release!

OUT NOW!

Cookie

When Ryan Stone’s aunt asks for help with her bookstore, he leaves the city and moves to the small town of Grace, at least temporarily. He’s so busy cleaning and restocking the store he almost doesn’t notice the handsome mechanic that always seems to show up at the park at the same time he has his lunch.

Every day for the past few weeks, Charlie Castle has been going to the park across the street from the auto shop, hoping for a chance to meet the new guy from the bookstore with the shock of red hair and a penchant for pink sugar cookies.

Ryan wasn’t looking for love when he met Charlie, but meeting Charlie might just give him everything he never knew he needed. MM Small Town Romance, Opposites Attract, Found Family

Blinding Light

https://books2read.com/BlindingLight

Easy Rian has been lead singer for Blinding Light since the band was formed. Through the years many things have changed. Not all of them good. When the lead guitarist leaves mid-tour, the rest of the band is left waiting to see if they’ll continue on to Rocktoberfest, or if this is where their tour ends.

Liam Tarrant has been playing guitar for as long as he can remember. When he gets the chance to audition for Blinding Light, he jumps at the chance. Meeting the band is surreal, especially the lead singer, Easy. Liam has always had a crush on Easy, but he never thought he’d get the chance to meet him, let alone spend time alone with him.

Easy is drawn to Liam, no matter how much he wants to deny it. When the two are thrown together over practice and planning the upcoming tour, attraction grows between the two of them that neither can deny. But falling in love on tour could be what finally ends Blinding Light, and both of them will need to choose what’s more important to them. Love or music, can they have it all? #Rockstar #mmromance #grumpysunshine #friendstolovers

Camping 101

BL Maxwell

Covers by: Covers By Jo

Gavin Johnson has been camping as long as he can remember. His family spent a few weeks every summer either on the coast of California or in the forests of the Sierra enjoying the simple life and getting closer to nature. Which is why when he had the opportunity to buy Camp Acorn where he’d worked in his twenties, he jumped at the chance.

Wyatt Jackson loves his life. He has everything he wants or needs at home. But he starts to crave change. He wants a new start, and new experiences. When he sees an ad for a camp for adults nestled deep in the Sierra, he registers for a two-week stay before he has the chance to change his own mind, and quickly regrets that decision.

Staying in a cabin for two weeks is supposed to be an adventure, but Wyatt soon realizes it’s far from luxurious, and there’s also poison oak, bugs, and rattlesnakes to watch out for. Gavin is always there to lend a hand and really wants them all to have fun. Afterall, that’s what Camp Acorn is all about, teaching adults how to have fun and survive in the wilderness, even if they complain the whole time. Opposites Attract, MM Romance

Finding Isaac

Foggy Basin Season Two

Preorder for August 13

Finding Isaac: https://books2read.com/FindingIsaac

Series Link:https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DST7K6BR

Isaac Grant has lived in Foggy Basin for all of his twenty-three years. Everything was perfect until his favorite friend with benefits, Jack, met the love of his life. Sure, he was happy for Jack, but he missed him and wanted someone of his own to keep him warm at night, or to get into trouble with.

Tig Sawyer left Foggy Basin after only living there for a little over a year. He graduated from high school and moved onto an out-of-state college and, for the most part, never looked back. But memories of that slower pace always came back to him when he was neck deep in work, and his personal life.

Isaac was never looking for a relationship and was more than

happy to live his life loose and free, but since meeting Tig, he wonders why he never wanted someone of his own. He also questions why someone like Tig, who has his life together and always seems happy as hell, would want to take him on. But there’s something in the way Tig looks at him that says he’s more than willing.

Welcome to Foggy Basin Season Two. Just passing through? No problem. Here to stay, well, better find your place. Sit back, relax and get to know the townsfolk. They love hard and play even harder. Each book is a standalone but why not stay and get to know us and read them all.

Christmas Collection

99c ends August 3

https://books2read.com/u/bQnrLe

Enjoy this gay romance collection all set during the holiday season.

A Lot of Snow for Christmas

Two strangers with very different lifestyles stuck together in a snow-covered cabin with no heat or power. It might take more than a cute dog to help them survive it.

Try to Remember

It's Christmas, and time for Andy and Link's yearly party. Erik and Sam are going for the first time since Sam moved to town with him. He imagines a nice evening spent with new friends, but it soon turns out a little different.

The List

Tommy Carter was just minding his own business, taking out the trash from his job at a local bar and grill, when he noticed the man hiding behind the dumpster. He couldn’t get a good look at the guy, and the less he can find out about him, the more curious he becomes. He’d lived through difficult circumstances in his past, and decides if he can help, he will.

Just the Right Chord

Kai and Rory met a few months ago when Kai made a food delivery to Rory’s band. They’ve been together ever since, and neither of them has looked back and craved the single life. Now with the holidays fast approaching, both of them worry about giving the perfect gift to each other.

Two strangers stuck in a cabin during a blizzard, two friends who hope for more, a man who needs a little help, and a new couple spending their first Christmas together. Each story is gay romance and is guaranteed to have a happily ever after.

The Ultimate Sacrifice

99c Ends August 3

https://books2read.com/UltimateS

Fated mates. Forced proximity. A love worth risking everything for.

Grady Summerville has accepted his fate—until Max Steele’s blood offers him a second chance at life. As Grady’s strength returns, so does his heart’s vulnerability, and he finds himself falling for the reluctant wolf who saved him.

Forced to leave his pack, Max never expected to develop feelings for Grady. But as tensions between their packs rise, Max must choose: loyalty to his Alpha or the mate who’s stolen his heart.

Love demands sacrifice—but will their bond be worth the cost?
