Lochlan

Edward Kendrick

Summary

Mage Roland sends Lochlan, his adopted son and apprentice, to a distant city to steal a valuable item -- a relatively simple task for a thief with Lochlan's skills. On his journey, Lochlan meets two commoners will soon play an important part in his life -- Garratt and his sister, Maurenn, who Garratt is escorting to meet her betrothed.
At first, the young men dislike each other but they are thrown together again when Garratt discovers why Lochlan is in the city and convinces him that he can help if Lochlan will teach him the art of thievery. 
Then, there's the problem with Hankin, Maurenn's betrothed, who intends to wed her so he can have an unpaid servant at his beck-and-call. When Garratt finds out, he and Lochlan devise a plan to sneak her out of the city, but only after they retrieve the item Roland needs -- a flask of Vampyre blood. They manage both objectives, and in the process Lochlan and Garratt begin to care for each. 
There's a reason Roland wants the blood. He intends to use it a part of a plan to eliminate a coven of Vampyres who hide in caverns on Ayr Peak. As his plan comes together, he brings in friends and Lochlan to help complete it. 
Will they find and eliminate the Vampyres? If they do, how will it affect Lochlan's budding relationship with Garratt, especially when the problem of a rogue werewolf needs to be addressed and Lochlan is once again called upon to help his father?

A Demon in Love Box Set

K.L. Noone

Rock legend Kris Starr has a problem or two. He's getting older, he can't seem to write anything new, he's supposed to be recording a Midwinter holiday album, and he's afraid he's falling in love with Justin Moore, his manager. But Justin's very good at keeping secrets, and he has a few—like his demonic inheritance, his family's history, and his crush on Kris Starr, rock and roll icon. But when all Justin's secrets start to come out, he'll need Kris's help…and they'll write a new love song or two along the way.
Contains the stories:
A Demon for Midwinter: Kris Starr used to be famous. Sold-out rock shows. Empathic talents. But he has a problem or two. He's having a hard time writing songs. It's Midwinter, full of depressing holiday cheer. He's in love with Justin, his new manager, who has a talent for rescuing almost- or once-famous bands. And Justin's hiding secrets: about literal demons, his past, and his own feelings for Kris…
Lightning in a Bottle: Despite his skill with a guitar, Adam's never had much stage presence—he leaves that to Lee, his band's lead singer, who makes his lyrics rock. The problem is, Adam's lyrics are secret love letters for Lee, though he's never had the courage to say so. But when a legendary rock star and scandalous sex demon turn up at their show, Adam might finally figure out how to get everything he wants.
Love Songs for Every Day: Kris and Justin don't do interviews. Two years after demonic revelations, forever entwined with Kris Starr's return to the spotlight, they'll open up about pro-demon activism, classic rock, rescuing cats, and coffee versus tea—plus what exactly happened to Justin that night, love songs, and happy endings.
Sunlight and Gold: Can a rock star marry a demon? That question's on Justin's mind. He's moved in with Kris; they're wildly happy. He is half human, though—and he likes the idea of the human ritual. But Kris Starr, rock legend, never has. So Justin can't ask. Kris isn't convinced he's great at domesticity. But he's pretty sure his half-demon boyfriend wants a very human commitment. And maybe Kris wants that, too.
A Demon for Forever: A demon, a rock star, and wedding bells! Justin's always wanted to get married and has thrown himself into wedding plans. But the world's watching. Kris wants to give his demon fiancé a perfect day, whether that means carrot cake or support for Justin wearing a wedding dress. But Justin wants him to reconcile with his father, so Kris will have to try.
The Demon's Choice: Kris has never been happier: back on tour, making music, and married to the love of his life, half-demon Justin. But an accident leaves Justin unable to use magic until his demon family offers him a terrible choice. Losing his magic leaves him empty until he's shown a way to get it back. But if he agrees, he'll give up his human half…along with his life with Kris.
Snowed In: Kit & Harry: Someone or something is causing magical blizzards at Fairleigh Hall. Constable Kit Thompson is to investigate. The Earl's brother, Harry Arden, wants to help, but he's an irritating temptation. The estate hides a family secret. When they end up snowed in together at the old hunting lodge, they'll learn to trust each other with their secrets…and their hearts.
Bedknobs and Brimstone: Some days married life is great. And some days your husband's demon magic sets the bed on fire. But Kris wouldn't change a thing. If living together costs them some furniture, it's fine. Justin's still not used to his new powers. They're unpredictable, and he's worried: what if he hurts Kris? Fortunately, Justin's husband's very good at reassuring him.
