Touch in the Night

2023

FROM EXCITING AUTHOR OF LGBTQIA ROMANCE FICTION S. J. COLES Book one in the Blood and Bonds series Jesse Truelove never felt a part of his own family. But can a vampire really give him a new one? With a criminal record, no steady job and a penchant for kink, Jesse Truelove has spent most of his life feeling like an outsider. He tells himself it doesn't bother him, that he never needed human connections anyway. Now the Undying Baron, Emory Von Magnusson, a vampire—or, to use the modern term, ‘haemophile' — has reclaimed his ancestral home north of Jesse's hometown, and the human population isn't sure how to react. Jesse knows a thing or two about what it's like to be misjudged, so he keeps an open mind. But when a bungled break-in at Emory's home brings them face-to-face, Jesse finds it's much more than his mind that's stimulated. However, building a relationship with an undead blood-drinker was never going to be straightforward, especially when that undead blood-drinker reveals he wants a family. Reader advisory: This book contains blood drinking, violence, murder, dark themes and injury detail.

Bleed in the Night

2024

FROM EXCITING AUTHOR OF LGBTQIA+ ROMANCE S. J. COLES Book two in the Blood and Bonds series It' s not just fear keeping Tyler up at night... and that' s what frightens him. Tyler Lomax met Lucien, supposedly the oldest haemophile in existence, on a dark night in the depths of winter. Tyler was protesting against Baron Emory Von Magnusson taking possession of a human child. He thought he' d been doing the right thing—fighting against evil, against fear. Lucien had almost killed him for it. Now it' s months later, and Tyler hasn' t slept since. Tyler wants Lucien found. When the authorities fail him, he feels forced to take matters into his own hands. Tyler' s contact ‘ Damon' doesn' t call himself a ‘ vampire hunter', but that is exactly what Tyler intends to pay him to be. What Tyler doesn' t bank on is having Lucien at his mercy, forcing him to confront what' s really consuming him. Tyler will not only have to face what he is feeling but finally open his mind to a perspective other than his own. He just has to pray that opening up to Lucien won' t bleed him dry before he realizes the truth.
