Kissing... Cousins?
J.D. Light - 2020
In fact, they have the same family. Okay, they aren't actually related, but Evan's uncle married Scout's aunt, so… Yeah, it's a little awkward just how often Scout thinks naughty things about his not-cousin. Especially since they have actual family reunions together. But temptation such as Evan Billings is hard to ignore. Scout's fought the long, hard fight––really long and really hard––but the devil done presented him with an a shiny (said in an extremely southern accent while shaking a fist in the air for drama) and he's starting to think weak men have all the fun. Their once easy friendship shifted when they both went through puberty and Evan presented as alpha while Scout presented as omega. Alpha's should have to go through some kind of training course on how to handle hormones and emotions, because Evan is pretty sure his inability to process how he was reacting to his then best friend was what drove them apart, and now all they do when they are together is bicker, which is actually pretty fun and makes their cousin Ronni laugh, but when the reunions are over and they go back to their normal lives, it always feels like a little part of him is missing, and he knows that part is Scout. When an opportunity presents itself in the form of pranking their cousin Ronni's new boyfriend, lines get crossed… in the best way imaginable, but what happens when the reunion is over, and they go back to their lives without pranks and family keeping them together? Kissing… Cousins? is book one in my new lighthearted, Omegaverse Sprung Like Spring novella series. The series can be read as stand alones, but there are overlapping characters, so it will be a lot more fun to read in order. There will be fluff, humor and probably some pining, so sit back, relax and take a break from the horrors of reality!
My Dragon Prince
Rowan Porter - 2018
DAMON Not to be a snob, but everything about humans is boring and tedious. That should have been my first clue something was different about James Bennett. I'd spent too long already in the mortal realm. My senses were dulled; as was my desire to do anything but find our queen's long-lost heir. It had seemed so simple when I first volunteered for this quest. I hadn't counted on the modern world being so mundane. In contrast to that gray backdrop, James was the only spark of living color. Too bad he hated my guts from the start. To be fair, I tend to provoke him without trying. I’m drawn to him, driven to throw fuel on the flame and see what ignites. The passion that flares in him when he’s spoiling for a fight. It’s been so long since I’ve been near fellow dragons; I try and evoke their semblance anywhere I can. Except suddenly dragons are everywhere. Rivals are spoiling for fights of their own; each determined to bring honor to their clan. And James is caught in the middle, witness to a scene not meant for mortal eyes. Too fearless to turn away from me even now that he knows what I am. Only then do I realize, he might be everything I’ve spent years searching for, in more ways than one. JAMES Stop me if you’ve heard this before. The new guy at work is tall, sexy, oozing with menace and mystery. He’s also a total jerk. Who happens to change into a dragon. Yeah, that last part threw me too. As did everything that came after. One minute I’m following my obnoxious coworker to give him a piece of my mind. The next? Dragons. Fighting. Us? Running. Him? Asking painful questions about my past, only to have more answers than I do. Answers I’ve spent my whole life searching for. The very way he’s looking at me now, with a desperate intensity like hunger, want, need. All rolled into an insatiable desire to consume and possess. And the more I feel the heat of his gaze upon me, the more there’s only one thing I want, one thing that matters. And it’s not answers. My Dragon Prince is a standalone M/M Dragon Shifter romance featuring two sexy men who can’t help but be attracted to one another. 18+ only please.
