Even though the old High Priest seemed to be going out of his way to throw the two of them together. Nope... Andoc was not remotely intrigued by the angry and beautiful young man. Not even a little bit. Authors Note: This book is the M/M prequel to The Horse Mistress series, the rest of which is M/M/F.

Favian just wants a quiet life in the temple, serving the gods and, if he's lucky, finding the kind of companionship that society wanted to deny him, as a man who loved other men. He never asked to be stalked by a scruffy, itinerant lion-shifter who seems intent on driving him to madness by being so... so... infuriating.

But if Favian tells the others what the future holds, he knows they’ll move heaven and earth to stop it happening—even if doing so sentences untold thousands to subjugation and slavery at the hands of an evil tyrant. He'd always suspected that destiny could be one seriously cold-hearted bitch. Now he's sure of it. \ \ \* The Lion Mistress: Book 3 is the concluding book in this reverse harem/poly romance series arc. It’s full-length at 93,000 words, and ends with an HEA. A special note for reverse harem lovers: I had never heard the term “reverse harem” when I wrote this series. It was always conceived as a poly romance story, just like The Horse Mistress . That said, it features one amazing woman who ends up with three adoring men at the end, and she is the glue that holds the four of them together. The pace is medium burn, and the books contain strong LGBT content. If you dislike M/M, you’ll dislike this series.

What if you could live out any fantasy you desired in your dreams? What would you do? Obviously, the correct answer is, “Yay! Time for a smokin’ hot foursome set in an opulent royal bathhouse!” Because, well… duh. Warning: tooth-rotting fluff and shameless porn without plot ahead. Contains strong LGBT content, which really shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone at this point. This epilogue to The Lion Mistress: Book 3 is available as a standalone through the author's website.

And me, the girl with abandonment issues as deep and wide as the Southern Sea. I left home in search of adventure. Instead, I stumbled into the middle of a desperate struggle for survival. Five people. Five mythical beasts. If we manage to get through this mess, it’s going to be a miracle. \ \ \* The Dragon Mistress by USA Today bestseller R. A.

The survival of the last living dragons rests with me and my misfit friends. So... yeah. No pressure. Mind you, this whole thing would be easier if two of our number weren't hell-bent on killing each other. Rayth and Nyx have both been hiding secrets for a very long time, but now they face a choice.

As soon as someone catches sight of them, every soldier in Utrea will be after us. And there's no way we can fight for our dragons' survival when we're this busy fighting amongst ourselves. I've always been the queen of questionable life choices, but falling for four proud, stubborn, damaged men at the same time is a new benchmark even for me.

Our secret is out, and now we’re marked for death. A lone survivor escaped the mountain battle, carrying news of our dragons’ existence to the court of Prince Oblisii. Utrea’s dragons were supposed to have been wiped out long ago. Only these five remain—a male and four females. They’re all that’s left to carry on the species, but first we have to keep them alive. The prince will come soon with his army, and I’m stuck on a mountaintop with my four knights in tarnished armor. Sometimes, I think these men will be the death of me long before the royal soldiers arrive. Other times, I think they may be my only salvation. Before the five of us can flee Utrea for safer shores, I’ll have to form a soul-bond with the male dragon. Until then, he’s little more than a wild animal, dangerous and unpredictable. And without the male, we’re lost, since the future of dragonkind rests on his shimmering white wings. Yet the idea of the soul-bond fills me with terror. If I bind myself to him, his death would mean my death, just as my death would mean his. Already, the men I love are binding the female dragons one by one, tying their souls irrevocably together. With the others already bound, everything depends on me. But danger lurks whether I accept that dragon-bond or not. I was already a wanted woman, after I spurned Prince Oblisii and escaped from his harem of concubines. Not only that, but I also fled straight into the arms of a group led by Oblisii’s disgraced older brother—Rathanii, the man who should have been Utrea’s king. If Prince Oblisii gets hold of me again, death will be the least of my worries. And the gods only know what the others might do to try and get me back. \ \ \* The Dragon Mistress by USA Today bestseller R. A.

We ran away, but it didn’t solve our problems. Now, we’re going back to fight for Aristede. And oh, yeah—there’s also the small matter of toppling Rayth’s corrupt younger brother from the Utrean throne, so we can remove the bounty on our dragons’ heads. I mean, what could possibly go wrong? As the king’s eldest son, Rayth grew up expecting to rule. Instead, he ended up disgraced and exiled. When he unknowingly stumbled upon the last five dragon eggs in existence, using the creatures to take back his crown was the last thing on his mind. All that changed after Rayth’s brother Oblisii murdered their father and stole the kingship. With that fateful blow, what started out as a simple rescue mission to find our lost comrade has become something much more. We won’t be safe until Oblisii is dead, and dragons are once more protected in the land of Utrea. To make that happen, we’ll have to risk everything in a desperate gamble to control the throne. In the end, I just want my family back. I’ll do whatever it takes to make that happen. \ \ \* The Dragon Mistress: Book 4 by USA Today bestseller R. A.

An old soldier in search of redemption. A condemned prisoner with the power to carve out his heart… or save it. Caius Oppita has served the Alyrion Empire for more than half his life, watching with growing revulsion as the royal family descends ever deeper into corruption and depravity. Powerless to do more than stand by as the land he loves slides toward civil war and social upheaval, he longs for his days as a general on the battlefield rather than a tame palace lapdog. When the execution of one of the emperor’s inconvenient bastard sons goes wrong, Caius has a choice to make—do his duty, or do what is right and spirit the innocent man away to safety. It should have been simple—hide Decian in plain sight for a few days, then smuggle him out of the palace compound. Buy him passage on a ship sailing someplace far away from the capital city, and take quiet pleasure in fighting one single injustice among many. Instead, the swirling undercurrents of politics and power struggles seem determined to drag them ever deeper into danger—even as Decian guilelessly slips past the armor surrounding Caius’ battered soul. Caius had never considered himself a fool… but only a fool would bed the emperor’s illegitimate son. Much less let the brash young idiot anywhere near his heart. The problem with secrets is that they breed more secrets. And betrayal only hurts when you cared in the first place. \ \ \* Master of Hounds: Book 1 is the first installment in an M/M epic fantasy trilogy by USA Today bestseller R. A. Steffan.

One man cannot take on an empire. Or rather, he can try—but it should come as no surprise when he’s crushed by the vast powers arrayed against him. Caius Oppita knows this, but after what he’s seen, it suits him better to go down fighting than to crawl on his hands and knees. The empire he’s served faithfully since he was a boy now wants him dead, and the lover he thought he could trust has betrayed him in the worst possible way. Maybe Caius can’t win the fight he’s about to undertake, but he’ll damn well drag the imperial family's corruption into the light of day if it kills him. And if the battle takes him to the same underbelly of the capital where his former lover fled after ripping Caius’ world apart? Well, it won’t be the first time this hardened general has engaged in combat on two fronts. Not all enemies are what they seem. Sometimes the course of a war can turn on the smallest thing. \ \ \* Master of Hounds: Book 1 is the first installment in an M/M epic fantasy trilogy by USA Today bestseller R. A. Steffan.
