Happy Valentines Day!
Feb 14, 2025 11:23 pm
Hi everyone! I'll be ordering pizza later since everyone loves it and it means I don't have to cook! We used to go out to dinner for Valentine's Day, now you couldn't pay me. It's just too busy and I'm happy staying home. I hope whatever you do you have a great weekend!
I was too busy with finishing a book and edits this week to get a Cookie chapter in, BUT here's a free book. I wrote Check Yes or No years ago for a Valentine's Day project it's a short but sweet story of two men who were always meant to be together but they just needed a little reminder.

Here's all the latest!
New Release!
The second Candy Hearts anthology is available now!
What's sweeter than a low angst queer romance at Valentine's Day? How about twenty-three of them in one anthology to help support a good cause?
Each novella in the Candy Hearts Anthology, volume 2, is overflowing with red-hot romance and all the good feels. This volume is all about wrong numbers—wrong phone numbers, addresses, office numbers, seats, and more. If you enjoy serendipity, then you’ll love this collection.
The Candy Hearts Anthology will be available for a limited time, and all proceeds will benefit the Rainbow Railroad (@RainbowRailroad).
Find it on Amazon https://www.amazon.com/Candy-Hearts-LGBTQIA2S-Charity-Anthology-ebook/dp/B0DT7RVQ2V

Heart of Ice
https://books2read.com/HeartOIce
Max Hofstedder has been recruited to the Sacramento Titans as a third string goalie and even if he doesn’t get to play a game this season, he’s thrilled. On opening night at their new stadium, he gets the chance he hopes for when the first- and second-string goalies are both out with injuries. After the first period he’s fighting to stay in the game.
Ruben Franklin is the Titan’s team doctor and after the team suffers multiple injuries, he’s thrown headfirst into a job he’s unfamiliar with but is ready for the challenge. One of the more seriously injured is the one and only goalie.
As Max is treated for his injuries by Ruben, he tries hard not to let on how badly he’s hurt, but Ruben isn’t easily fooled. When they finally get some time alone outside the stadium, they both realize there might be more between them than the team doctor treating an injured player.
Heart of Ice is a slow burn, MM Hockey Romance.

Camping 101
BL Maxwell
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.
Welcome to Pride Camp where diversity and inclusion is our motto. We’ve got daddies, mommies, littles, pets and families of all kinds. So, unroll your sleeping bag, make a couple of smores, and enjoy the show!

Until a run in with a vampire changes everything.
Ben finds a newly turned vampire left for dead by the rogue vampire, and suddenly Ben's mission changes course. In the freezing wilderness of Alaska, he uncovers more truths and the mate he'd always longed for... and now the vampire he was tasked to find is hunting them.

A Beach Far Away
https://books2read.com/ABeachFarAway
Falling in love wasn't on the itinerary.
Ryan Stone can't wait to put his toes in the sand at the famous Bondi Beach. When he arrives after a flight that was far too long, and having not slept or eaten, all he can do is stare out at the beautiful expanse of white sand and blue ocean in awe. And when a blond guy asks him to play footy, he agrees, even if he doesn't know for sure what that is.
Ollie Hughes thinks a day at the beach is just what he needs to take his mind off work. When he sees the cute but rumpled guy sitting by himself in the sand, he's drawn to him. The more time they spend together, the less he wants the day to end. They end up spending a few days together, those few days turn into weeks, and neither is ready for their time together to end.
A lot of chemistry, and a little bit of luck make for an interesting day at the beach that both men are reluctant to end. Time and distance could be their biggest obstacle, but maybe some things are just meant to be.

Torin O’Connor thought he could handle the shadows of his family’s Brooklyn mafia past, but one reckless mistake with the wrong Italian mobster changes everything. Sent to Montana’s rugged Carrillo Ranch to escape his own self-destructive choices—Torin finds himself under the watchful eye of Garett Barnes, a stoic cowboy with a past as unyielding as the land he works.
Garett didn’t sign up to babysit a troubled mafia kid, but when his boss Dante calls in a favor, he can’t refuse. Used to solitude and hard labor, Garett works at a BDSM club on the weekends and is unprepared for the fiery, headstrong Torin, who challenges him at every turn. Garett is a Dom looking for a sub. Torin needs a Dom, though he was not aware of it.
The two men collide in Montana’s untamed beauty, Torin discovers the strength within himself—and a connection he never expected. But danger looms, and the shadows of Torin’s past aren’t as distant as they once seemed.
A story of redemption and unexpected love. This gripping tale will take you from the gritty streets of Brooklyn to the wide-open skies of Montana.

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 Nicko, 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.
Nicko Greco, the drummer with a legacy as complex as his beats, 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.
As they rise from the ashes of their former lives, Jace harbors a secret passion for Nicko, 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 Nicko, Jace is ready to sacrifice it all for a chance at true harmony with him. Will the beat of their hearts synchronize, or will the melody of their love remain unsung?

Series Link: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CXQ5YX2M
Trevor Adams had been labeled many things—needy, whiney, too hyper, and too quirky. But he was a happy boy, and eager to please. He just needed to find the one daddy who’d love him for who he was.
Trevor’s fetishes were…unique, and while men enjoyed his company in small doses, they couldn’t say the same for his kinks. His world would forever change when he replies to a cryptic call out at a local club seeking those who shared his same needs.
For Jayger Carter, nursing littles in college was a fun way to earn money but it's also turned into a means of staving off the loneliness. And when this Daddy meets a sweet little at the club's nursing night, they have no idea how their lives are about to change forever...
Daddy's Little Dreamer 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.

Series page: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0CVKSTXPG
When the family business is death, how does one help a spirit find the love they lost who’s already on the other side to keep them from doing harm to those on this side?
Keir Dearly, the owner and sole proprietor of Dearly & Son Funeral Home, and his husband, Dashiell Clegg-Dearly, are expecting a bundle of joy near Christmas! When their surrogate is suddenly kidnapped with the baby in tow, both men are frantic to get them back, but can they adequately protect them with the upcoming battle for the Human Realm?
Keir and Dash—who continues to evolve in powers and strength as he prepares for the fight of his life while ridding the underworld of the evil demon, Nyx—learn how to break the spell that was cast over Keir’s family many generations ago. However, it’s not as straight-forward as they’d hoped. With the battle drawing near, all they can do is wait, and isn’t that the hardest part of any anticipated event?
Enter Lorraine Joly. Lorraine has been roaming the universe in search of her true love, Claude, whom she lost in France in the seventeenth century. Her spirit has chased Claude’s through the centuries as he is reincarnated, and now she’s convinced that Keir is living the latest of Claude’s many lives. Is it a coincidence that Lorraine died in Normandy, France, where all the trouble started for Keir’s family due to the actions of one of his ancestors, Henri, who sacrificed the heart of an evil woman for the love of a man?
Keir and Dash continue to piece together the puzzle of their destiny as the final battle brews. It's time for the Gatekeeper and the Key to fight for the future of all mankind. When the smoke clears, what will their world look like?
Are you ready for the explosive conclusion for Dearly and the Departed?

It's almost Valentine's Day. Join Shanny in celebrating.
Shanny is messy and a bit of a hot mess all the way around, but he's got an amazing group of friends who have been more family to him than the one he was born into ever was, though he longs for someone special who won't mind letting him be the kid he never got to be. He thought that could be Tiny, but lately, his big friend has been nothing but frustrated with him and angry most of the time.
Tiny has been pining for Shanny for years. They live together and have had their fair share of friends-with-benefits moments, but when it came to taking it further, one or both always pumped the breaks. Lately, Tiny has been finding it difficult to keep his mouth closed while Shanny makes bad decision after bad decision, especially when he winds up hurt in the process. He wants to step up and be more, but he isn't a Daddy and that's all Shanny has ever claimed to want.
Riggs is a Daddy, a large, fiercely protective man with a soft spot for misfits. After being asked to watch over Shanny during a Little's movie night, he's found himself drawn to the little chaos gremlin and his close-knit group of friends. After being unable to prevent Shanny from injuring himself while showing off, he's made it his mission to ensure that he plays safely and knows that he doesn't need to be a daredevil to get someone to pay attention to him.
As Happy Holidays gives way to Happy Valentine's Day, the stockings in the window displays are replaced with hearts, can the addition of Riggs, be just the bridge Tiny and Shanny never knew they needed? Can the fierce pup and the boy he adores find the perfect person to care for them both, or will Riggs's heart prove to only be big enough for one of them?
