My Everything
Jayda Marx - 2019
In my personal life? Well, not so much. Not many men approach me, and those who do only see me as a challenge.

My poor dating luck won’t stop me from dreaming of what I really want; a man to be my boyfriend, my Daddy, my dom…my everything. *This M/M romance is for readers 18 and up!

Hot Mess
Misha Horne - 2020
It’s not like I haven’t been trying. I did college, I found a job, now I bought a house. I’ve been crossing things off that adulting to-do list like a pro. Surely one of them has to make me feel like a grown up. Eventually. My new hotter-than-anyone-deserves-to-be neighbor is definitely a grown up. A grown up with a square jaw and massive forearms, who takes homeownership very seriously. And okay, maybe I’m a little obsessed with him. Maybe I spend a little too much time imagining what it would be like if we just happened to have relevant interests. If he used those forearms for something besides yard work— like maybe teaching a lesson to someone whose living room is still filled with moving boxes and whose life is clearly out of control. Too bad if anyone on the planet is vanilla, it’s reliable, responsible Erik Jenko who washes his car every Sunday and offers to mow my lawn. A gorgeous distraction in work boots and faded t-shirts, but definitely not kinked in my direction. At least that’s what I thought until I got his mail… Hot Mess is a 90,000 word kinky romance about an Army brat in need of some discipline and a handyman with a soft spot for disasters. Get ready for spanking, role play, first time kink exploration, lacy lingerie, and stern but sweet domestic discipline. Steamy, kinky, and swoony, with a sprinkle of angst and a healthy dose of feels. PLEASE NOTE: Hot Mess began life as a novella titled Pretty Boy available exclusively to newsletter subscribers. That story has been extended by 50,000+ words.
