Summary

From the New York Times–bestselling author of The Lord Won’t Mind comes the story of a man whose marriage of convenience will never keep him from taking what he truly wantsBefore he has even hit his twentieth birthday, Walter Makin has already earned a red-hot career on the stage and a reputation as a Boy Wonder. From afar, he is truly a man who has the whole world at its knees and a bright future ahead of him. Still, he has one weakness—other boys. Set in the 1940s, An Idol for Others follows Walter’s internal turmoil as he tries to follow society’s norms by marrying Clara, a wealthy, forceful heiress who is as enamored of Walter’s status as she is of his body. In spite of Walter’s efforts to refuse what he truly wants, he finds comfort again and again in the beds of other men—men who understand themselves and what they want in ways Walter can only dream of. However, when he meets and falls for a beautiful young writer, he can’t deny who he is any longer. Now he must tell the world, regardless of the consequences.

    An injured witch determined to find his fated mate and a wolf shifter determined to avoid commitment, no matter how hot the attraction. 
Brandon Wineford has sworn off relationships because dating humans is too hard—they can’t be trusted with the truth—and finding a shifter he actually likes is impossible. But with his friends in the Outcast Pack finding love, he’s feeling the bite of going home alone. When his best friend asks him to help out behind the bar at a fated mate-finding event, he reluctantly agrees. 
Finding a mate has been at the top of rugby player Ross Starling’s to do list since he first learned he’s a witch. He never turns up a chance to kiss a shifter. This will be his third official mate-seeking event. Some might say he’s a mate chaser or that he’s desperate, but he knows there is someone for him. 
When he sees Brandon wearing a pink ‘kiss me’ shirt, that is exactly what he wants to do. 
Brandon has other ideas. He doesn’t believe in forever, and he doesn’t want to risk his heart on a witch. And if they don’t kiss, they can’t become mates. But there are plenty of other things they can do… 
Wolf Mate is a steamy standalone romance in the Familiar Mates world. It features a grumpy events manager and a hopeful witch who wants nothing more than to find the one he is meant to be with.

As he grew up in Forest, Mississippi, befriended by the family maid, Mattie May, he became a young man who turned the word "sissy" on its head, just as his mother taught him. In Jackson, he is befriended by Eudora Welty and journalist Frank Hains, but when Hains is brutally murdered in his antebellum mansion, Kevin's long road north towards celebrity begins. In a memoir that echoes bestsellers like The Liar's Club, Kevin Sessums brings to life the pungent American south of the 1960s and the world of the strange little boy who grew there.A Macmillan Audio production.
