Summary

Elite figure skater Ben Taylor-Hess was badly injured at an event three years ago. After a lot of physiotherapy, he's ready to mount a comeback, but now in his early thirties, no coach will take him on. 

Marcus Altenberg, who lost his own skating career to injury, agrees to coach Ben, but differences in style and recurring injuries threaten to derail Ben's attempt. 

As the pair grow closer, Marcus comes to see how strong Ben really is, and Ben learns there's more to Marcus than the tough, disciplined skater he was taught to be by his own strict coaches. Friendship turns to romance, but Ben and Marcus both have issues to face if Ben is going to achieve his dream.

    Shawn knows a secret. His best friend is a witch. A whole vampire coven knows it too and they come after Shawn to get to the person they really want. When a wolf shifter rescues him from the brink of death, he's not sure if he's safe or in even more danger than before. 
     
     
     
    Gabriel is a defective wolf shifter. Or he thinks he is. He'd hurt someone he was supposed to love when he was a child. He's afraid of hurting others too, so he keeps his distance. Especially from the little human with enough sass to anger an entire coven. 
     
     
     
    Some lessons are hard to learn. Especially for a human who's far more capable than he's ever given himself credit for and a wolf shifter who has a heart of gold.

    I was supposed to bring balance. That's what my name—Atlas—means. It feels more like being torn apart. Between good and evil, Nature and Chaos. 
     
     
     
    Always running after or from something. Including a certain coyote shifter who wants to rip me limb from limb. I'd rather he shred my kilt and do other things to me. But alas, shouldering fate keeps getting in the way. 
     
     
     
    Or maybe I've got it all wrong. Maybe he's the only path to balance, to the future. An end to the running. But we'd have to trust each other first. I'd rather tear myself apart than ever do that. 
     
     
     
    Atlas and the Traitor is a steamy, enemies-to-lovers M/M paranormal romance between a grumpy coyote shifter and an even grumpier warlock fated to run toward each other. It is book three of the Soul to Find series and is best enjoyed after the prior books in the series.

    Working remote on a houseboat in Seattle sounds amazing—until it rains for four months straight. Now Robbie Price would love any excuse to get on dry land. When a co-worker who's going through a divorce suggests a house swap, Robbie can't pass up the chance to spend four weeks in a beach cottage in San Diego. All she needs to do is avoid her co-worker's ex-wife and finish a few home improvement projects. 
     
     
     
    Devyn Lancaster never expected to get divorced, but she isn't exactly unhappy about how things have turned out. She has more time to focus on being a doctor in a busy hospital and can let go of trying to be a better wife. Still, there are some things at home she'd like someone to take care of. Like basically everything she has no time to do. 
     
     
     
    Robbie Price is the last person Devyn expects to want to keep around—especially after Robbie accidentally weed whacks her pollinator garden. But Robbie makes a mean lasagna and in one weekend completes half the items on her to-do list. 
     
     
     
    Soon Devyn has to admit she likes having a temporary housebutch. And Robbie can't deny the house swap turned out to be a perfect change. Saying goodbye at the end of the month might be harder than either realize.

    For whatever we lose, it is our self we find in the sea. 
    Captain Hiram Nightingale is a veteran of the wars which have raged throughout Europe and the Americas. But a grand victory at the Battle of the Nile in 1798 comes at a devastating cost. Plagued by wounds both physical and mental, he attempts to recover by accepting command of HMS Scylla. His task is to hunt down a mutinous ship and bring the crew to justice. 
    However, it soon becomes clear that the mission is just one danger in an immense web. Nightingale finds himself in the middle of a network of secrets that will affect everyone onboard the Scylla. He has to battle against the perils of the war-torn seas, a crew who he fears does not accept him, and meddling, powerful figures from his past. 
    And in the centre of all this, his new lieutenant, the popular Arthur Courtney, stirs up long repressed feelings. On his journey, Nightingale must confront his own demons. For it seems, during his dangerous adventure, his greatest enemy might just be himself. 
    A deeply poignant tale of naval warfare, political intrigue and a love between two men that stands tall in an unaccepting world. Perfect for fans of Hornblower, Sharpe and Outlander. 
     
    ‘There are echoes of Horatio Hornblower in Nightingale’s introspection and doubts. The gay love story is beautifully written and the evocation of life on board the Scylla is equally good’ The Times
