Lucky John

Ellis Thomas

Summary

Owen Montgomery has been a landless drifter since the Royalist defeat at the Battle of Worcester nine years previously when he was seventeen. Since then, he has lingered abroad as an insignificant follower in the retinue of exiled King Charles.
In the spring of 1660, Owen travels across England as an envoy on behalf of the King. Despite this important diplomatic mission, Owen regards himself as little better than the highwaymen he encounters on the lawless roads. 
During a brief stop at an obscure roadside inn, he encounters Lucky John, a bullied skivvy with a sweet nature who makes a lasting impression. When Owen impulsively rescues John from his unkind employer, he has no idea of the impact the lad will make on his lonely existence. 
Will Owen reject this chance to open up and share his life? And can Owen be convinced he deserves John's love?

Disguised as Human

Holly Day

What's a vampire to do when falsely accused of murder?
Had Jasper Argall known he'd be accused of murder simply because he went into a grocery store, he would've stayed in the supernatural community where human laws don't apply. Things are hard enough as they are without having to deal with the human police. 
Oscar Christopherson is a magic user pretending to be human. He likes being a detective, but supernaturals aren't allowed to work in law enforcement, so he's faking it. There is always a risk he'll be found out, and that risk increases when he's around other supernatural people, since they have a better sense of smell than humans do. 
Vampire or not, when Jasper is wrongly accused of murder, Oscar can't look the other way. Jasper knows humans can't be trusted, but maybe Oscar is different from all the other humans in Myrfolk. He's out of options, so what else can he do but put his life in Oscar's hands?
