Definitely Not Meant to Be

2022

“How long have you been in love with your best friend?” Godric I accepted long ago that I couldn’t have all of the things I wanted in life. Growing up in the way I did, I would be a fool to get my hopes up. But even with that knowledge, I couldn’t resist. I was helpless not to fall into the orbit that was my best friend. When a new partnership between our bosses throws us together, I do my best to keep my distance. No need for him to know just how deep my feelings run. Especially not when he’s as straight as they come. Cohen So, I should probably tell my boss that working with my best friend isn’t the best idea. Godric is a distraction… the best kind since I realized I was into men too. Only, my job with NightShade means I have to stay focused. Danger lurks around every corner and I need to be at my best to stop it. A new client and a special assignment give me just the escape I need. Except, instead of one of my teammates coming, Tank sends Godric to help. How am I going to focus with him around? Definitely Not Meant to Be features a protection gig gone wrong, two best friends who can’t keep their hands to themselves, and some action packed settings. There’s a heavy dose of steam, some violence, and witty banter between characters. This is book one of the NightShade Security series. Every couple gets their own book. It features characters from Club Deny and Princess Pen Pals, though you do not need to read those first to follow along.

Secrets Not To Be Kept

2023

"The only lie I ever told you was my name..." Memphis It started with a cup of coffee. It wasn't supposed to be anything more than that. Yet I found myself captivated by the man across the counter. Something about him drew me in. It had me observing from a distance as I tried to figure him out. But as I watched, so did someone else. Someone who thought him to be theirs. Too bad for them, I'm not the type to give up without a fight. Sinclair was mine and I intended to keep him. Sinclair Life was good. I had my job and a few people I considered friends. It was all a vast improvement from before. Though, to be honest, most things were better than the hell I came from. Everything changed as my past ripped through my life again. It destroyed the last of my peace and made me a villain to those I'd come to care for. With so much on the line, I didn't feel like I had a choice. Not when he threatened to return. Secrets Not to be Kept features a brilliant computer genius, a man in hiding who has his world turned upside down by some really bad dudes, and the deception that changes the NightShade team forever. There’s a heavy dose of steam, some violence, and witty banter between characters.
