Love and Blueberries

Vivian Lace

A cozy Omegaverse romance full of breathless tension, quiet devotion, and found family comfort. 
 
Emily Hart is on the run—from a life chosen for her, from the Alpha who thought she belonged to him, from the weight of expectations she never asked for. What she needs is somewhere to hide. What she finds is something she never dared hope for: safety. 
 
Tucked away in a small town where blueberry fields meet wild forests, Emily finds herself at a quiet farmhouse inn—and face to face with Matthew Granger. A broad-shouldered, soft-spoken Alpha who doesn't demand, doesn't push, and never once tries to stake a claim. His gentle presence is nothing like the Alphas she's been taught to fear. 
 
As the farm pulls her into its slow, grounding rhythm, Emily starts to breathe again—for the first time in years. Baking, planting, nesting—finding friends who understand what it means to carry fear inside your bones. And always, always Matthew: steady, respectful, touch-starved and patient in a way that leaves her breathless. 
 
There's no forced bond. No looming heat to make her pick. 
Only the choice to fall—for him, for safety, for respect.

Dawn of Legacy

Lawrence Davis

A wizard turned private security agent takes on crime in Cleveland in the conclusion to The Monsters and Men urban fantasy trilogy.

Unexpected crucibles, gut-wrenching loss, and time in prison . . . The last few years have not been kind to Janzen Robinson. His tenure as the unelected Champion of Cleveland was rough, but it’s hard not to catch glimpses of hope as tides of change have rippled throughout the city. Now out of prison, the Artificer is surprised to see just how much his mission and influence have taken root. Full Circle Protection grew from being an operation run out of a beatdown truck to needing a fully functional office. Their ragtag crew of castaways are only a uniform away from seeming professional. And all that ugly that went bump in the night? It began to see that there are no easy meals in the land of Clev. This newfound order is put to the test, though, as a new kind of enemy emerges, launching an attack that isn’t motivated by old vendettas or orchestrated by some secret manipulator. This is an assault that threatens to blur the lines between this world and the sleepy mask it wears, and to take not only their lives but the world Balance with it.

The Monsters And Men Trilogy by Lawrence Davis is fast-paced, heart-pounding urban fantasy at its best and no one will see this twist coming.

Praise for Blunt Force Magic, book one of the Monsters and Men trilogy;

“A modern fantasy with a touch of noir, a dash of detective thriller, and a sprinkling of humor throughout.” —Steve Jackson, New York Times bestselling author of Monster

Doctoral student Holland Reeves may have aced every class she's ever taken, but when it comes to life outside her lab, she's beginning to realize she doesn't have one.
