Prince's Gambit
Crista Crown - 2018
Two vastly different cultures. One contract that could save their peoples. Prince Kylan of Dorvak is desperate to save his starving country. Hemmed in by looming mountains and the sea, there's only one nation who can help them... the ship nation of Ysladre, barred from their shores years ago. ShipSon Ferrin of the Ysladre Flotilla has never stepped foot on land, but if he is able to secure this alliance for his people, for his father, their names will be remembered for as long as their people sail the seas. The agreement is simple: If ShipSon Ferrin produces an heir for Prince Kylan, they will be wed, and their nations united. But forces within the kingdom are shifting. Many chafe under the harsh rule of Kylan's father. Some seek the opportunity to unseat Kylan's family for good. The king opposes the possibility of alliance with Ysladre. Kylan cares for his people, but as he falls in love with the delicate son of Ysladre, he also falls in love with his people—a feeling his father cannot and will not understand. It's a race against time to secure the alliance with a child before the people starve to death, a rebellion rises, or the king outright banishes Ferrin, the only man he’s ever loved. Prince’s Gambit is Game of Thrones meets mpreg, with an arranged marriage, deception, passion, knotting, bloodshed, but a guaranteed HEA. (No main characters were killed in in the making of this book.) An Epic Mpreg RomanceAn Epic Mpreg Romance.

Claiming the Little Vampire
C.R. Guiliano - 2017
It was easy to see he’d been mugged, but when he’d approached him to help, the man had hissed at him…hissed! And were those fangs he’d seen? No, he had to been mistaken. He wasn’t able to convince the young man he was trying to help, so left him alone. Except he couldn’t let it go, couldn’t stop thinking about the cute, little guy. He seemed…helpless and yet, not. Kelle wasn’t sure what to think. Besides, he didn’t even know if he’d see the man again. Except he did. Several nights later. He wasn’t happy the clientele of the nightclub seemed to think the man was fair game, and an unusual feeling of protectiveness filled Kelle. Being a bouncer for Thayne’s night club, Bent, he was used to stopping fights, knocking heads, and ogling men. However, his #1 rule was never to take any of the men who came to the nightclub home. Flirt? Sure. But no liaisons. When he saw a couple of large men herding the little guy towards the private alcoves, Kelle intervened. He had to. The pretty, young man did not appreciate it, spitting obscenities at him. He was a feisty thing that was for sure. Which only intrigued Kelle even more. He wasn’t prepared for his heart to get involved, especially when he didn’t even know the guy. And what was he supposed to do when he found out the man wasn’t what he seemed? *~*~*~*~* Tobih really hated what he was. Bad enough he was gay, but a vampire too. And unlike all the stories, and movies, vampires were not scary, not intimidating, and certainly couldn’t compel anyone. At least Tobih couldn’t. He didn’t even remember the one-night stand who’d bitten him, and condemned Tobih to this life. And he’d never seen, nor heard of any other vampires around. Hell, he didn’t even believe in them until he was staring at himself in the mirror, horrified at the fangs in his mouth, and the churning thirst in his throat, and hunger in his belly. That left him trying to figure out everything on his own. It was a nightmare. The need for blood was the worst part. Tobih, by nature, was kind of shy. At least until he got to know someone. Now he was just angry—all the time. And finding someone to feed from was harder than he ever thought. He was starving. It didn’t help his situation every guy he tried to hook up with, both for sex and blood, thought he was someone to knock around. And what was it with the bouncer? Following him around, interfering when he was so close to tapping someone’s vein, and filling his aching belly. He did not appreciate the meddling, even if the guy was gorgeous…and hot. He was out of Tobih’s league. Or so he thought…
