Everything After
One reckless night, one forgotten condom, and a shared moment of panic bring Jamison and Henry into each other’s lives for what was supposed to be a brief, responsible follow-up. Just a few months of check-ins. Just a precaution. Just grown-ups doing the right thing.
But it's hard to stay emotionally detached when you're the only person who understands what the other is going through. Somewhere between anxious texts and bonding over cats, something softer, deeper starts to take root.
They're not calling it a relationship. Not yet. But maybe—just maybe—it’s becoming more than a one-night stand.
Everything After is a heartwarming hurt/comfort MM romance featuring a twink with a faux-hawk, an anxious (human) bear, four nosy cats, and a guaranteed HEA.
Beneath Us, Solid Ground
Almost dying wasn’t how Max Dion had planned to start this day. In fact, a car accident leaving him stranded in a new city, friendless, and down part of a leg wasn’t how Max Dion planned to start any day. But, well, here he was.
The only silver lining was that a paramedic who happened to be passing by the accident seemed to be making it his mission to help Max out.
Lucas Gustafsson hadn’t been able to shake the mental image of the man he helped save after a gruesome accident. Checking on him in the hospital seemed harmless, but before Lucas knew it, he was offering his spare room and his medical expertise to help get Max back on his feet.
Neither man had really considered the realities of recuperating from a traumatic amputation, and they find themselves thrown together both emotionally and physically
Romance wasn’t meant to be part of the agreement. Is their situationship merely a convenience that will end when Max is ready to live on his own…or is this forever?
Beneath Us, Solid Ground is an open-door MM romance centered around hurt/comfort and forced proximity. It features a surprisingly nerdy ex-stripper coming to terms with limb loss and a do-gooder paramedic who would do anything for him.
Bear With Me
Dennis
I booked two weeks of peace and privacy at a secluded cabin. So why do I almost immediately come across a naked man holding a fish in his mouth in the stream behind it? Turns out Bjorn is a bear shifter, he's double-booked in the cabin, and he says I'm his fated mate.
How does he know this? Because once a shifter meets their fated mate, they can't control their shifts unless and until they're claimed. And Bjorn definitely can't control his shifts now. Too bad for him I'm not interested in being set up with a mate by the invisible sky fairies.
Bjorn
I've met my mate! Finally, finally. But…he seems weirdly resistant to my charms. Luckily we're double-booked in this cabin, and there's only one bed. He'll have to get close to me whether he likes it or not!
Just as I'm making plans to charm him, I get a phone call from home: someone is very ill, and I need to come home. Except I keep uncontrollably turning into a bear, which means no air travel and I can't drive myself. So how to get across the country? Apparently, as a passenger in a truck driven by my maybe-mate. But when we get to my home den, things get even more uncomfortable with the input of my pushy-but-affectionate grandmother, a foul-mouthed den alpha, and two parents with sticks up their you-know-whats.
Can Bjorn win over Dennis and get his happily ever after, or will he have to choose between staying permanently as either a bear or a man?
Bear With Me is a slow-burn, low-angst MM paranormal romance featuring a sunshiney bear shifter and a grumpy human. Mpreg is not a thing in this universe, nor are a/b/o dynamics. This book is written in alternating third-person POV, with open-door sex scenes.
