Violent Desire

2022

12 immortals, 12 outcasts, 1 mission. Kill their own kind, before it’s too late. Detective, killer, vigilant. Eric Sharpe is tired of watching criminals walk free. When a low-life drug-dealer kills his partner and escapes justice, Eric plots his own revenge. His plan is faultless, but for one thing: The handsome, mysterious man who arrives moments before Eric’s plan comes to fruition. Not only does the mysterious man know Eric’s an undercover cop, he knows exactly what Eric did fifteen years ago—an event so traumatic Eric has been trying to bury it ever since. And the mysterious man? Fifteen years ago, Eric killed him. Now he’s back to reclaim what’s his: Detective Eric Sharpe. Immortal. Predator. Vampire. After betraying himself and the Blackrose Brotherhood, Zaine can’t afford another mistake. There’s one rule above all others the Brotherhood stand by. One rule that can never be broken. Never, ever, care. All Zaine has to do is hunt and kill the savage nyktelios vampires and keep his head down. And he was doing just fine, until saving Detective Eric Sharpe from a vicious vampire attack. Zaine can’t stop thinking about the intelligent, handsome but haunted man. Walking away is the right thing to do, but the detective and Zaine are hunting the same killer—the same vampire—a vampire who knows more about the both of them, and the brotherhood, than anyone realizes. A vampire seeking to bring down the Blackrose Brotherhood, for good. Zaine can’t walk away. Eric won’t walk away. Brotherhood rules be damned, the vampire must be stopped, and they’ll go down fighting together to end him. \\\* Violent Desire is the first book in an all-new MM paranormal romance series. Each book features a new MM couple ending in a HEA/HFN. Content warning: These are adult books. There will be graphic, on-page depictions of sex, torture, and swearing. These vampires do not sparkle. They're relentless in their mission. They do bad shit for good reasons, and some do good shit for bad reasons. They DO NOT CARE. They have been described as psychopaths with fangs. Read at your own risk.

Violent Mistake

2022

Internet sensation, Kazimir Skokan, is loved around the world for his luxury photoshoots and envious lifestyle. But Felix Quaid has never hated a man more. Ex-investigative journalist turned true-crime podcaster, Felix knows something is off with playboy Kazi. From the late-night back-alley meetings to the people around him who later vanish, behind Kazimir’s flashy smile, he’s rotten to his core. Not to mention rumors of darker, dangerous, some-say supernatural occurrences around Kazimir. Felix even has photos to prove it. But the last time he tried to expose Kazimir Skokan, his story was inexplicably shut down, taking Felix’s career as a reporter with it. Kazimir owes him the truth. And Felix is going to make sure the whole world knows it. \* Kazi has new orders. Kill Felix Quaid. The Blackrose Brotherhood leader, Mikalis, is never wrong. But in this, Kazi disagrees. Sure, Quaid is a pest, perhaps even a stalker, but no more than any other overzealous fan. Still, what Mikalis wants, Mikalis gets. And what’s another dead meat-bag to Kazi anyway? He stopped caring who lived and who died long ago. Making Quaid disappear should have been easy. But in Quaid’s final, crucial moments, a pack of cult members kidnap them both, mistaking Quaid for a member of the brotherhood. Now, trapped together, their time running out, Kazi must work with Quaid if they’re to survive the insane Nyx-worshipping acolytes. But as soon as they escape, Mikalis’s orders still stand: Quaid must die. Kazi thought he’d long ago given up on caring who lived and who died. Apparently, he was wrong… \* Sparks fly in the second book in the all-new gay vampire romance. Please note these books contain morally grey characters, unlikable heroes, enemies to lovers, and all the Ariana Nash angst you didn’t know you needed. The Blackrose Brotherhood series is a fast burn paranormal MM romance featuring a new couple in each book. Each book ends in a HEA/HFN.

Violent Secret

2023

Aiko believes every member of the Blackrose Brotherhood has secrets, even their leader Mikalis. Especially Mikalis. But Aiko’s secret is the worst of all. Kill all blood-sucking nyks, and never care. Those are the rules the brotherhood live by. It’s been that way for millennia. Aiko doesn’t make waves, he follows orders—and as Mikalis’s personal no-questions-asked assassin, he takes pride in his work. But with Mikalis back in London, and a new order to clear-out Chinatown, Mikalis skirts too close to Aiko’s secret. What if Aiko did care, and what if the man he cared about was a vicious, sociopathic, yet painfully alluring nyk? A nyk who runs the east end’s most notorious gang? Aiko didn’t ask to love the enemy. It turns out, the red string of fate has other ideas. Violent Secret is a novella that takes place in the Blackrose Brotherhood world. It can be read as a standalone, but ideally should be read after Book 2 in the series. Please note: Violent Secret was previously published in the Fated Mates anthology.

Violent Demand

2023

Cast out and hunted by the Brotherhood, Octavius is on borrowed time. He has one chance to prove his innocence, one chance to put things right, before Mikalis hunts him down and executes him. He must find Saint. But the Brotherhood member-turned-nyk whom they all seem to fear, is unlikely to make it easy. Still, Octavius has nothing left to lose. He will recapture Saint, or die trying. \* Saint has seen it all. He doesn't care why or how he was freed from the Brotherhood's captivity. He just wants to gorge and f\*ck his way toward the impending apocalypse. Is that too much to ask? The Brotherhood member that's following him? The quick, vicious, but curiously alluring one with a shock of white hair? He doesn't matter to Saint. If he gets too close, Saint will finish him. Because the last thing Saint wants or needs is to get dragged back behind bars. If that happens, this time, with everything he knows about their fearless leader, Mikalis, Saint will tear the Brotherhood apart. Octavius needs to stay away for his own good, because if Saint catches him, he just might teach him what it truly means to be nyktelios. And how the Brotherhood has been lied to for millennia. Besides, what does it matter, when none of them have long left to live... \* Please while each book in the Blackrose Brotherhood series focuses on a new couple+, there is an over-arching series plot. Readers will get much more enjoyment from the series by reading the previous two books first.

H.L Day juggles teaching and writing. As an avid reader, she decided to give writing a go one day and the rest is History. Her superpower is most definitely procrastination. Every now and again, she musters enough self-discipline to actually get some words onto paper—sometimes they even make sense and are in the right order. She enjoys writing far too many different sub genres to stick to one thing so writes everything from rom-coms to post-apocalyptic sci-fi.

Meghan Maslow
Meghan Maslow
Author · 16 books

MEGHAN MASLOW is truly a rare breed. No, not a unicorn (although that would be sooo cool). She’s a—gasp!—extroverted writer. She believes that life is meant to be lived. Preferably with lots of people around. Every day is an adventure, or should be. She’s spent a large portion of her life working and living in various countries in Africa. She’s multitalented, having perfected the art of eavesdropping in bars around the world while chugging local brews, and gabbing with anyone who isn’t quick enough to elude her grasp. She believes kindness is contagious, and learning to laugh at yourself is one of life’s greatest gifts (and challenges). She advocates for social justice, believes storytelling can be transformative, and surprisingly isn’t a misanthrope. She loves travel, reading, world music, Moscow Mules, awkward dancing, dreadlocks, her family, and um… writing.

Louisa Masters
Louisa Masters
Author · 49 books
LOUISA MASTERS started reading romance much earlier than her mother thought she should. While other teenagers were sneaking out of the house, Louisa was sneaking romance novels in and working out how to read them without being discovered. She’s spent most of her life feeling sorry for people who don’t read, convinced that books are the solution to every problem. As an adult, she feeds her addiction in every spare second, only occasionally tearing herself away to do things like answer the phone and pay bills. She spent years trying to build a “sensible” career, working in bookstores, recruitment, resource management, administration, and as a travel agent, before finally conceding defeat and devoting herself to the world of romance novels. Louisa has a long list of places first discovered in books that she wants to visit, and every so often she overcomes her loathing of jet lag and takes a trip that charges her imagination. She lives in Melbourne, Australia, where she whines about the weather for most of the year while secretly admitting she’ll probably never move.
Grae Bryan
Grae Bryan
Author · 13 books

Grae Bryan has been reading romance since she was far too young to know any better. Her love for love stories spans all genres, and while her current series is of the paranormal variety, she knows she’ll be exploring other worlds further down the line. She lives in Arizona with her husband, who graciously shares space with all the imaginary men in her head. When not writing, she can generally be found reading more than is healthy, walking her monster-dog, or cuddling her demon-cat. She loves anything and everything gothic, strange, lovely, or cozy.

Jennifer Cody
Jennifer Cody
Author · 43 books
Jennifer Cody lives in Small Midwestern Town, USA, aka the sticks of Kansas. She has three kids and a Beardo she loves. Her sleep schedule is weird, so messages sent at midnight usually get answered relatively promptly. She reads all kinds of mm romance and urban fantasy, but her favorites are gay-for-you, small-town romances and over the top urban fantasy romances. Her own writing doesn’t always reflect her reading preferences, but mostly it does. She writes what she wants to read and reads extensively because she’s an addict. To books, obviously. And caffeine because sleep is for other people.

Michele is married to an awesome guy that puts up with her and all the burnt dinners she makes—hey, sometimes characters are a bit distracting, and who doesn’t plot when they’re supposed to be cooking? They live together in Baltimore, Maryland with two little monsters, a three-legged princess, a four-legged goofball, and a cutie with giant ears (aka their two kids, their two cats, and their dog). She hopes to rescue another cat soon, and if her hubby wouldn’t kill her, she’d get more than one… and maybe a few more dogs as well. She loves creating worlds filled with lots of love, chosen family, and of course, magic, but she also likes making the characters fight for that happy ending. She hopes to one day write all the stories in her head—even if there are too many to count!
