Don't Fear the (Not Really Grim) Reaper

(John really does feel bad about that.)Hot angels, annoying demons, hijinks, absurdity, drunk siblings, a dash of silly romance, an inordinate attachment to wings, and a highly disorganized bid for world domination—Don’t Fear the (Not Really Grim) Reaper follows Emery and John down the rabbit hole where they find that moms are scarier than demons from hell, a goat is not a puppy no matter what Emery’s sister says, and awkward romance can happen anywhere.

Now that the youngest of my brothers is close to adulthood, the last thing I need is someone else to worry about—someone else to be responsible for. If only the handsome doctor fate had chosen for my mate wasn’t so perfect for me. Toby~ AlI I ever wanted was to help people, that’s why I became a doctor, but I quickly learned that modern medicine was more about the all-mighty dollar and less about saving lives. It wasn’t long before I was doubting my life choices. A vacation to the ocean was supposed to leave me refreshed and ready to get back to work, but instead, I found myself pulled into a world I never knew existed. A world where dragons are real, men fight like medieval warriors, and my soulmate has his very own bat cave. Azaran thinks the last thing he needs is a mate to worry about. Good thing I don’t need anyone to take care of me. My sexy dragon rider, on the other hand, needs someone to take care of him, and I think I’m just the man to do it.

Now the debt is due, and dragons don’t forget—or forgive. Warwick demands Montgomery’s son, Avery, and three businesses as compensation. As an Omega, Avery knows he is basically useless to his pack, so he might as well agree. He soon has second thoughts, though. Warwick is fearsome, and he’s free to do as he likes with Avery. Warwick knows his race’s reputation, and he even admits some of it is deserved. But he’d rather cut off his tail than let his innocent mate’s light go out. It won’t be easy, but buried deep, there’s something between them worth safeguarding. **Second Edition, Previously Published** This book has been previously published.

Dear to My Hart
Whit Valentine - 2018
His older sisters tend to mom him almost to death, and he finds his solace in working on cars, not really considering the future beyond the next project. He's happy enough with the status quo, and though a mate would be nice, he's not really looking. Enter a cutie with big brown eyes who keeps popping up wherever Riley goes, and Riley just might be in trouble. Quentin Quentin Williams is the 19-year-old son of paranormal enthusiasts who classify themselves as vampire hunters, were-wolf killers, and ghost chasers. As far as Quentin knows, they’ve never seen a single paranormal aside from him, and they don’t even know he is one. He constantly struggles to hide what he really is so he doesn't end up the subject of his own family's paranormal blogging. But he's got problems: he's never alone (they live in a motorhome), he’s spindly (if he actually met a were-wolf, he’d be toast), and he’s asthmatic (running through musty houses and damp woods is an issue). The fact that his family does everything in their power to make his life miserable certainly doesn't make things easier. A chance encounter on a full moon night, and both Riley's and Quentin's lives will change forever. That is, if they live long enough. Some unexpected revelations turn their worlds upside down, and the whole Susilauma clan will have to pull together to save Quentin and Riley's mating—and their lives. HEA with no cliff-hangers. Contains adult language, graphic descriptions of sex between males, brief instances of domestic abuse, and violence. The Susilauma Wolves stories feature the true mates trope, animal shifters, and man-on-man lovin'. If this isn't your cup of tea, don't spend your book allowance here. Does NOT contain knotting or MPREG.

He’s young, handsome, and he doesn’t do what I tell him to. He smells like cinnamon and has eyes that remind me of the daytime sky. Every kiss we share feels like home, and no touch lasts long enough. I need him to be mine. And for the briefest moment he is, and life is perfect… and then it isn’t.

But if anyone thinks they can keep me away from Declan, they have another thing coming. My mate and I have a thousand lifetimes to live, and we’re just getting started.
