The Daddies

Kimberly Dark

A love letter to masculinity, and an indictment of patriarchy. 
How do you invest in a relationship built on deception, then break up without destroying everything? Is it possible to leave love intact but transformed? 
THE DADDIES is a story about love and grief – how it hurts to change, even when change is needed. Using hybrid narrative, magical realism and pop-culture analysis, THE DADDIES offers a dark love letter to masculinity told as a lesbian leather-Daddy love story. The story follows a break-up between adults, lovers, but the metanarrative is about our cultural need to break-up with patriarchy, while still holding onto love for masculinity. THE DADDIES is about the pain of change, an unflinching tour through the pleasures and horrors of domination.

Hearts and Claws Box Set

Ofelia Gränd

Absence does not make the heart grow fonder; it kills it.
What would you do if the person you can't live without kept putting distance between you? In this box set, you'll find three paranormal MM romance stories about men who have a special connection to someone they need to be physically close to. But something or someone forces them apart.
Contains the stories:

Black Bird: For seven years, Arlo Barman has been on the move. All he wants is a place to call home. But as a caladrius healer, he has to separate himself from those he's healed, and has to find a place to stay in a new town. Nash Silver is a werewolf, and from the moment he lays eyes on Arlo, he needs to be close. When Nash is injured, Arlo heals him and has to leave. But can Nash survive without his mate?

Jaeger's Lost and Found: Gael Murray has lost his connections. A vampire can't survive without the energy exchange he has with his coven members via mental links. To locate them before it's too late, he hires a finder. Jaeger's Lost and Found is the only finder shop on the west coast, but Archibald Jaeger seems to be defective. A terrible finder is better than no finder, though. Together, they set out to save Gael's life.

Nine Stones: The only thing worse than having a hot neighbor you're too intimidated to talk to is hitting his cat with your car. Felix Lane was perfectly content to spend the rest of his days in his quiet little corner of the suburbs, but when he hits his neighbor's cat with his car, he has no choice but to face the music and Kirk. But Kirk, with his unusual eyes and bad boy looks, is nowhere to be found.
