Others: Mixed

It was supposed to be a harmless kiss at a lavish debutante ball. A clandestine moment with a handsome stranger. But unlike his namesake, my Romeo isn't driven by love. He's fueled by revenge. To him, I'm a chess piece. Leverage. His rival's betrothed. To me, he is a man deserving of poison. A dark prince I refuse to marry. He thinks I'll accept my fate. Well, I plan to rewrite it. And in my story, Juliet doesn't die. But Romeo? He perishes.

    Tristan Thomas is lost. After leaving the Army, the young former soldier is in limbo. Until, that is, he’s hired by Mark Trevena, the owner of Lyonesse—DC’s ultra-secret club—to be Mark’s new bodyguard. He’s drawn into Mark’s dark, seductive world of power and desire, and slowly drawn to Mark himself, even though Mark is everything Tristan knows he shouldn’t want: cruel and wicked and shamelessly amoral. But protecting Mark isn’t Tristan’s only duty: soon, Mark asks him to guard his soon-to-be bride as she travels home from Ireland on Mark’s yacht. Tristan is jealous—and hurt to learn that the object of his obsession is engaged—but the soldier in him is made to obey orders, and he goes to fetch Mark’s bride for him. Isolde Laurence is nothing like Tristan expected, however. Young, quiet, and sharp, she’s being pushed into this marriage by her family, and as the two travel back to America, Tristan finds himself fascinated with Isolde and the glimpses he gets of the lonely but determined woman behind her reserve. And the fascination is mutual: one night, while sailing under the cold stars, they share a searing kiss. From there, it’s a fast fall into the forbidden. But in Mark Trevena’s world, the fall is only the beginning… The Lyonesse trilogy is a queer, kinky contemporary retelling of the legend of Tristan and Isolde, set in the same world as the New Camelot series. Readers will not have to read New Camelot to enjoy Lyonesse, although readers who enjoyed New Camelot will find all the things they loved about the trilogy here: MMF ménage, plenty of the angsty forbidden, and a sweeping retelling of a familiar story.

    She’s eighteen. Innocent. Forbidden. Martina De Rossi is off-limits, and not just because her brother is about to become the Don. When I agree to protect her while he’s out waging a brutal war, it isn’t only out of loyalty. It’s because Martina is the perfect pawn in my game of revenge. Unfortunately, she’s also temptation personified. Innocent eyes. A body to die for. Silky blond hair that begs to be wrapped around my fist. I’m a master of staying in control, but with each day she spends with me inside the walls of my remote Italian castle, I can feel my resolve cracking. My gaze starts to drift. My touch starts to linger. And when she tempts, I realize this game we’re playing might be one I won’t win.

    Talia. I have always been a bird. Caged by one prison or another when the only thing I ever wanted was to fly away. Sold. Beaten. Starved. Drugged. Nothing scares me anymore. Until him. He makes the numbness go away. He is hazardous to me. It has nothing to do with his mafia lifestyle, and everything to do with what he offers. A gilded prison. A retreat from everything that I once knew. The reality I have no desire to return to. He thinks he’s caged me, but soon… I’m going to fly. Alexei. I live by a code. The Vory code. In this mafiya world, there are traditions. Expectations. She does not care for these things. She does not care about anything. She thinks she has me fooled with her haunted eyes. What she can’t know is that I see her better than most. She wants to fly. But I’m going to clip her wings. And make her my wife.

    "Close your eyes. I'll close mine too." Growing up, I was the problem child teachers didn’t know what to do with. The troubled teen whose parents wished was never born. The system’s made of cracks, and I fell through each and every one, all in a futile effort to protect the family legacy. They tried to fix me. Doctors…therapists…teachers…pastors… And they failed. Epically. Now, eighteen, and fresh out of Hell, I’m thrown into the last place I ever expected. Rehab. Enter Nolan Dresden. Newly divorced. A recovering alcoholic. Almost double my age. He doesn’t think he needs to be here anymore than I do, and all he sees when he looks at me is a privileged little prince. But when a team building exercise takes a deadly turn, stranding Nolan and I out in the wild for a night, not only do we find ourselves bonding over our shared trauma… But surrendering to a current neither of us can escape. Six weeks. That’s all we have together before we have to come up for air. He’s worried I’ll grow attached. I’m worried he’s right. But like the storms that rage inside me… There’s no stopping the inevitable. And when all is said and done, it’ll be a miracle if either of us walk away unscathed. Exiled is a full-length emotional age-gap MM standalone. Previously published as part of the Unlucky 13 multi-author series, the ONLY commonality between this book and the others is one of the major settings: the island, Black Diamond. This book deals with some difficult topics that may be triggering for some readers. A list of triggers can be found at beginning of book, and a more detailed breakdown can be found on author's website as well as the back of the book, after the Acknowledgments.

    As a female coach, I’ve always lived by a simple mantra: throw hard, swing for the fences, and never, ever look back--especially when it comes to past flames. So when my ex-boyfriend somehow manages to land the job as my new assistant coach, my life is flipped upside down. The game I thought I'd mastered is now being played with a whole new set of rules. My ex is baseball's all-star Nathan Pierce. He’s tall, dark, and undeniably handsome. He's also all too eager to spend extra hours working together while flashing that familiar devilish smirk of his that still sends my heart racing. Between playful teasing and lingering stares I discover that Nathan isn’t just here to work. He’s here to rewrite history. Our history. And when fate throws another curveball involving me needing a place to stay, Nathan offers up his spare bedroom, which sends me spiraling into emotions I believed had long since faded. Now I’m faced with the ultimate decision: keep it professional and continue fleeing from our past, or confront it head-on by playing the game he thinks we were meant to finish together.
