Finding Our Home
Michele Notaro - 2019
He’d looked across the courtyard and made eye contact with me—his brown eyes that were bright and shining with silver around the irises—and I hadn’t been able to look away. I didn’t even know his name. All I knew was that I wanted to find him again and talk to him. The only way I knew how to do that was by becoming a bestower—a human that allowed vampires to feed from them.
Dorian~
His blood was more alluring than any other I’d encountered before, which was saying something. I wasn’t that old, but I wasn’t that young, either, so I’d seen, and tasted, my fair share of bestowers. But never had I smelled one that made me want to forget the rules, forget the consequences, and take him right here and now no matter who saw. I wanted his blood—and his body.What will happen when human and vampire come together? Will one night of passion be it for the couple or is it possible that there’s more than only lust at play?
Finding Our Home takes place in the Reclaiming Hope world, but is a standalone novella. To read the series in chronological order, read it after Keeping Them Unseen.

The Alpha's Warlock
Eliot Grayson - 2020
Is that too much to ask? Apparently. Because instead of precious caffeine, all he gets is cursed by a pack of werewolves who want to use him for his magic. Now the only way to fix the damage is a mate bond to a grumpy and oh-so-sexy alpha in the rival pack, who happens to hate him. This is so not how he wanted to start his day. Ian Armitage never intended to take Nate as his mate. The Hawthorne family can’t be trusted. Ian knows that better than anyone. The fact that he’s lusted after the way-too-gorgeous man for years? Totally irrelevant. Ian’s just doing what is necessary to protect his pack. This whole mating arrangement has nothing to do with love and never will. That’s his story and he’s sticking to it. Nate and Ian will have to work together if they have any hope of staving off the pack’s enemies and averting disaster. That’s assuming they can stop arguing (and keep their hands off each other) long enough to save the day…The Alpha’s Warlock is an explicit M/M paranormal romance featuring a snarky warlock, a brooding alpha werewolf, knotting, enchanted socks (long story), and a guaranteed happily ever after.
