Silver Shield

Adam Carpenter

Summary

A recent graduate of the NYPD's cadet academy, Jimmy McSwain dreams of anything except being a cop. He has a complicated history with the police, and it isn't from a rap sheet. Years ago, his police officer father was gunned down during an off-duty incident, leaving Jimmy bitter that his killer was never found.


Now, trained in the art of law, Jimmy decides to embark on a new career: that of private detective. But he just can't get his own license; he needs experience. What happens will lead Jimmy into a part of New York he doesn't know, realizing he's the stranger in a neighborhood that lives by its own rules.


His mother, Maggie McSwain, is skeptical about his job but there's nothing she can do to stop her headstrong son from entering this shadowy new world. As a warm spring settles over the city, a twist of fate has Jimmy taking on his first case, one that is a time bomb ready to explode.


What he can't leave behind is the memory of his father, and the silver shield which he earned only out of respect. Can he live with his decision?

Tempting Frey

Roe Horvat

Oliver
I’ve been in love with Theodore Frey for as long as I can remember. When I turned eighteen, I ignored the acceptance letter from the best college I’d applied to, as well as the facts that Frey was my dad’s best friend, the mayor of Beauville, the scariest bear shifter in the mountains, and twenty years older than me.
Armed with an outrageous set of lingerie and a great deal of naiveté, I showed up on his doorstep. I thought he was my fated mate and that we’d be together forever.
As a reasonable adult, Frey did the only thing he could have done: he rejected me.
Four years later, I’m back in Beauville. I've changed, but one thing hasn’t. Frey is still the only alpha I’ve ever wanted.
Frey
I’ve never told my best friend what happened the night Oliver came to my house. No need to make things awkward. Especially since our sheriff is a protective hothead when it comes to his only omega son.
I’ve caught glimpses of Oliver over the years, and that clumsy teen is long gone. Even though I’ve tried to keep my distance, his blue-green eyes haunt my dreams.
Now he’s back for good, working at the town hall right under my nose, and I’m climbing the walls. I’ve never seen anything sexier than Oliver putting me in my place. Beautiful, sharp, and full of fire… he’s everything I’ve ever wanted.
With his father watching my every move, I’m barely holding it together. If Oliver so much as crooks his finger at me, I don’t think I’ll be able to resist.
Tempting Frey is the second book in the Bears of Beauville series—a standalone MM omegaverse romance featuring bear shifters, fated mates, and mpreg. HEA, no cliffhangers.

He said he'd only bite me once. Then twice. 
Now I'm not human anymore—

Fangs & Honey is a searing queer vampire romance about two boys who were never meant to belong to each other… and yet bite by bite, they fall deeper than blood can carry.

But when the second bite awakens something monstrous inside Noah—and the third bite binds them forever—love becomes the most dangerous craving of all. 
  
Hunted by the vampire council. Haunted by a boy long dead. Torn between moans and monsters, they must decide: 
  
Are they each other's salvation? Or destruction? 
  
Laced with blood, sex, obsession, and the ache of forbidden touch, Fangs & Honeyis perfect for fans of Heartstopper with fangs, Call Me By Your Name if they bit, and Hannibal, but gayer and hotter.

For a year, he had a squirrel shifter working for him, but now he's moved on and left Nicodemus behind. But then one day, there is a naked man jumping out of his recycling dumpster. When Nicodemus runs after him, all he can find is a squirrel.

Deneb found a nice little forest behind a thrift store to hang out in. Had he known people stayed in the building overnight, he wouldn't have shifted where he could be seen. Nicodemus is almost sure the naked man and the squirrel are the same, but how to get him to show himself to Nicodemus? Bribe him with macadamia nuts?
