When the gods come calling, you don't get to say no. Patrick Collins is three years into a career as a special agent for the Supernatural Operations Agency when the gods come calling to collect a soul debt he owes them. An immortal has gone missing in New York City and bodies are showing up in the wake of demon-led ritual killings that Patrick recognizes all too easily from his nightmares. Unable to walk away, Patrick finds himself once again facing off against mercenary magic users belonging to the Dominion Sect. Standing his ground alone has never been a winning option in Patrick's experience, but it's been years since he's had a partner he could trust. Looking for allies in all the wrong places, Patrick discovers the Dominion Sect's next target is the same werewolf the Fates themselves have thrown into his path. Patrick has been inexplicably attracted to the man from their first meeting, but desire has no place in war. That doesn't stop Patrick from wanting what he shouldn't have. Jonothon de Vere is gorgeous, dangerous, and nothing but trouble-to the case, to the fight against every hell, and ultimately, to Patrick's heart and soul. In the end, all debts must be paid, and Patrick can only do what he does best-cheat death. A Ferry of Bones & Gold is a 115k word m/m urban fantasy with a gay romantic subplot and a HFN ending.

A Ferry of Bones & Gold

The Prince's Poisoned Vow

A Marine with honor. After surviving a horrific chemical attack that turned him into a metahuman, Captain Jamie Callahan got a second lease on life. For three years he's been working for the Metahuman Defense Force and leading Alpha Team-all against the wishes of his family. The job requires his full dedication, so it's no surprise Jamie doesn't have time for a relationship. An enticing one-night stand with a gorgeous stranger is all it takes to show Jamie exactly what he's been missing. When a mission to take down a terrorist cell brings that same stranger back into his world, Jamie's life gets complicated. A soldier with secrets. Staff Sergeant Kyle Brannigan was only looking to relieve some stress after a long mission. He didn't know the hot guy he picked up at a bar was the leader of the MDF's top field team. When Kyle and his partner get seconded to Alpha Team to help fight a terrorist threat, he has to balance his desire for Jamie against his duty to keep his secrets safe. That gets harder and harder to do amidst regulations both are tempted to break. Two men trying to survive. Giving into passion could cost both their careers. Abiding by the rules will only result in heartache. An attack on MDF headquarters brings with it a choice Jamie and Kyle can't escape-duty, or love?

All Souls Near & Nigh

A Veiled & Hallowed Eve

Forgiveness is a hollow prayer you only hear in your dreams. Patrick Collins has spent years handling cases as a special agent for the Supernatural Operations Agency, even as his secret standing in the preternatural world has changed. He should have confessed to his role as co-leader of the New York City god pack when he and Jonothon de Vere took up the mantle months ago, but he didn't. Now that split loyalty will cost him at a time when he can least afford it. Outmaneuvered, framed for murder, and targeted by the Dominion Sect, Patrick has to face a past full of lies to regain his freedom. Revealing the truth means he'll need to give up the life that has defined him. Everything he's fought to build with his pack is at stake, and losing them isn't a price Patrick is willing to pay, but some choices aren't his to make. Jono knows they can't cede any more territory if they want to win the god pack civil war spilling into the streets of New York City. But the souls of werecreatures are free for the taking when demons come to town and angels sing a warning no one can ignore. When Jono's worst fear comes to life, and he loses the one person he can't live without, the only option left is to fight. Facing down the demons of their past and the ones in their present, Patrick and Jono will learn the hard way that some sins never wash away clean.

The coveted Morrígan's staff is up for sale on the black market to the highest bidder, and SOA Special Agent Patrick Collins will do whatever it takes to ensure the Dominion Sect doesn't get their hands on it. Returning the weapon to its rightful owner is another step on the long road toward clearing Patrick's soul debt, but he won't walk it alone. Jonothon de Vere won't let him. Obeying the gods means Patrick must travel to London. For Jono, it means facing a past he thought he'd left behind forever. His return to England isn't welcome, and neither is their pack, but Jono and Patrick will face the antagonism together. Politics aside, their priority must be the mission, but the bone-chilling secret they uncover in the London god pack will have far-reaching repercussions no one can ignore. A race against time takes Patrick and Jono from the streets of London to the bright lights of Paris, where hospitality is thin on the ground, the air is filled with whispered prayers for the missing, and the Morrígan's staff will end up in the one place it should never have gone--a graveyard.For beneath Paris lie the long-forgotten dead, and when they rise to walk again, the living can only hope to die.

The devil you know is never the one you should trust. Special Agent Patrick Collins is dispatched to Chicago, chasing a lead on the Morrígan's staff for the joint task force. Needing a cover for his presence in the Windy City, Patrick is ordered to investigate a politician running for mayor. In the lead up to election day, not everything is what it seems in a city where playing to win means appeasing the gods first and the electorate second. But Chicago brings its own set of problems outside the case: a stand-offish local god pack, a missing immortal, and Patrick's twin sister. Fighting Hannah and the Dominion Sect provides Patrick with a sinister reminder that some blood ties can never be cut. Left behind in New York City, Jonothon de Vere finds himself targeted by hunters who will go through anyone to kill him-including the packs under his protection. With a bounty on his head, Jono is forced to make a choice that Patrick would never approve of. Doing so risks breaking the trust he's built with the man he loves, but not acting will give the rival New York City god pack leverage Jono can't afford to give up. When Patrick and Jono reunite in Chicago, Patrick must confront the fraying of a relationship he's come to rely on for his own sanity. But fixing their personal problems will have to wait-because Niflheim is clawing at the shores of Lake Michigan and the dead are hungry.

Never promise a life that isn't yours to give.

A human child is missing, and the changeling left in her place causes a prominent witch family to demand justice from the fae. Meanwhile, continued harassment from the New York City god pack forces Jonothon de Vere to formally establish his own with Patrick. Doing so will mean a civil war within the werecreature community-a war they risk losing from the start without alliances.

A Crown of Iron & Silver

Truth and lies. Captain Jamie Callahan knows the Metahuman Defense Force frowns on fraternization. For once in his life, he's breaking all the rules. Having Staff Sergeant Kyle Brannigan on his team and in his bed is worth the risk of being found out. When a mission comes down requiring Alpha Team to go undercover in order to infiltrate a criminal alliance, Jamie knows it won't be easy. Putting his family's name on the line is nothing compared to the role the MDF wants him to play-that of a billionaire's son, discharged from the military, with a lover on his arm, looking to make his own shady business deals. Dirty little secret. Kyle knows the only way to be with Jamie is to hide their relationship from their superiors. Waking up to Jamie at home is more important than being together in public, or so Kyle thought, until he comes face to face with what he's been missing. Pretending to be a couple on paper for the sake of the mission thrusts Kyle into a world of incredible wealth and a social status he's not sure he belongs in, but he'll do anything to stay by Jamie's side. Play the game to win. Surrounded by the enemy, Jamie and Kyle need to trust each other now more than ever. Their covers-and the life they're trying to build together-depend on it.

In the Ruins

Every country is built on revolution.

THE WARDEN. Soren is a nameless, stateless man, tasked with keeping watch over Maricol’s borders. He isn’t meant for politics, only dealing with the dead. His past was buried in the poison fields, but after a fateful encounter with a prince, Soren comes to realize he can’t keep what magic burns inside him hidden forever.

THE PRINCE. Vanya Sa’Liandel was the spare who survived the Houses’ murderous games to become the Imperial crown prince of Solaria. He has a duty to his country, but he’ll owe his life to the wardens. Payment of any kind is costly, especially when he’s at risk of losing his heart to the man who saved his life.

THE COG. Caris Dhemlan hears the siren song of clarion crystals better than anyone in Ashion. That skill for inventing has enriched her bloodline, but it’s who she can become that will ultimately entangle her with the Clockwork Brigade.

THE PRINCESS. Eimarille Rourke should have been raised to be queen of one country; instead, she is prisoner of another. Guided by a star god, Eimarille bides her time in a gilded cage, spinning a political web to gain a throne and start a war the world isn’t ready for.

Resurrection Reprise

Down a Twisted Path

Wenn dich die Götter rufen, kannst du nicht ablehnen. Patrick Collins befindet sich im dritten Jahr seiner Karriere als Special Agent für die Supernatural Operations Agency, als ihn die Götter rufen, um eine Seelenschuld zu begleichen, zu der er ihnen verpflichtet ist. Ein Unsterblicher ist in New York City verschwunden und Leichen tauchen in Folge eines dämonischen Ritualmords auf, den Patrick nur allzu leicht aus seinen Albträumen wiedererkennt. Unfähig, sich abzuwenden, findet Patrick sich erneut in einer Konfrontation mit magienutzenden Söldnern wieder, die der Dominion-Sekte angehören. Sich allein zu behaupten war nach Patricks Erfahrung nie eine erfolgsversprechende Strategie, doch es ist Jahre her, seit er einen Partner hatte, dem er vertrauen konnte. Während er an den falschen Orten nach Verbündeten sucht, entdeckt Patrick, dass es sich beim nächsten Opfer der Dominion-Sekte um denselben Werwolf handelt, den das Schicksal selbst in seine Bahn geworfen hat. Patrick fühlt sich seit ihrem ersten Treffen auf unerklärliche Weise zu diesem Mann hingezogen, doch im Krieg gibt es keinen Platz für Begierde. Das hält Patrick nicht davon ab, zu wollen, was er nicht haben sollte. Jonothon de Vere ist umwerfend gutaussehend, gefährlich und bedeutet nichts als Ärger - für den Fall, für den Kampf gegen jede Hölle und schließlich auch für Patricks Herz und Seele. Letzten Endes müssen alle Schulden beglichen werden, und Patrick kann nur tun, was er am besten macht - den Tod überlisten.

Eine Fähre aus Knochen und Gold

Man kann mit dem Tod nicht verhandeln, wenn man seine Seele bereits verkauft hat. Special Agent Patrick Collins ist von der Supernatural Operations Agency nach New York City versetzt worden. Seine neue Beziehung zu Jonothon de Vere, dem Werwolf, an den seine Seele nun gebunden ist, ist nichts im Vergleich zu den territorialen Streitigkeiten zwischen den Vampiren und Werwesen, die die fünf Stadtbezirke ihr Zuhause nennen. Aber die delikaten Vereinbarungen, die die übernatürliche Welt bisher in Schach gehalten haben, gehen in die Brüche und die Welt der Sterblichen bekommt die Folgen zu spüren. Die Clubszene Manhattans ist von der Vampirdroge Shine überlaufen und die U-Bahnschächte sind zur Leichenhalde geworden. Als sich herausstellt, dass es sich bei den Toten um vermisste Werwesen handelt, müssen sich Patrick und Jono ungewollt mit der Politik des Gottesrudels auseinandersetzen, die von vampirischen Machenschaften durchkreuzt wird. Beide müssen lernen, einander zu vertrauen, was ihnen nicht leicht fällt, denn die Götter, denen Patricks Seelenschuld gehört, sind seiner noch nicht müde. Gebunden durch Versprechen, die sie nicht brechen können, müssen Patrick und Jono einen Weg finden, eine Bedrohung zu überstehen, die kein Erbarmen kennt. Aber sie sind ihr unerbittlich auf der Spur und verfolgen sie durch die Stadt. Alte und neue Betrüge werden aufgedeckt, aber die Wahrheit ist gefährlicher als die Lügen, die gesponnen werden. Und der Versuch, dem Tod zu entkommen, ist ein Albtraum - einer, aus dem Patrick vielleicht nie mehr erwacht.

Allerseelen Nah und Fern

Versprich niemals ein Leben, das nicht dir gehört. New York City ist um die Weihnachtszeit feierlich geschmückt, und Special Agent Patrick Collins freut sich auf ein Wiedersehen mit seinen alten Teamkollegen, als er einen neuen Fall zugewiesen bekommt. Ein menschliches Kind wird vermisst, und der Wechselbalg, der an seiner Stelle zurückgelassen wurde, veranlasst eine prominente Hexenfamilie dazu, von den Fae Gerechtigkeit zu verlangen. In der Zwischenzeit zwingen die anhaltenden Übergriffe des New Yorker Gottesrudels Jonothon de Vere dazu, offiziell ein eigenes Rudel mit Patrick zu gründen. Ein Bürgerkrieg innerhalb der Gemeinschaft der Werwesen ist abzusehen - einen Krieg, den sie ohne Verbündete zu verlieren drohen. Es ist nie klug, mit den Fae einen Handel einzugehen, aber Patrick und Jono haben nichts zu verlieren, als ein Fae-Lord sie um Hilfe bittet. Die Sommerlady des Seelie Courts wurde entführt, und wenn sie sie finden können, werden die Fae Patrick und Jono ihre Unterstützung zugestehen, während sie ihr Rudel etablieren. Doch die beiden entdecken Hinweise auf das Verschwinden der Sommerlady in Tír na nÓg, und das Jenseits war den Sterblichen noch nie wohlgesonnen. Als sie sich auf die andere Seite des Schleiers wagen, riskieren Patrick und Jono auf der Suche nach Antworten den Verlust von Territorium, Zeit und sogar ihres eigenen Lebens. Denn die Königin der Luft und der Finsternis weiß, dass sie kommen - und die Herrscherin des Unseelie Courts hat ein Angebot für sie, das sie unmöglich ausschlagen können.

Eine Krone aus Eisen und Silber

The Emperor's Bone Palace

Death is the last lover you will ever know. SOA Special Agent Patrick Collins has lived a life full of lies, and it has finally caught up with him. There's no denying his past any longer, not after giving up the truth to save himself from a murder charge. But truth alone can't set Patrick free, and time is running out to stop the Dominion Sect from turning his father into a god. Jonothon de Vere knows survival isn't a guarantee, but he's desperate to keep Patrick safe, even as hope slips through his fingers. With the future unknown, Jono will follow Patrick wherever he goes, even to Salem, where a family reunion reveals a bitter secret that was never going to stay buried. With New York City under control of their god pack, Patrick and Jono must fall back on every alliance they've brokered to fill the front lines of a war coming directly to the city streets. The veil is always thinnest on Samhain, and what awaits them on the other side is the stuff of nightmares. For when it tears, all hell will break loose, and the gods will be summoned to face a reckoning the world isn't ready for. The stakes have never been higher, failure has never been so deadly, and the Fates have never been kind to heroes. Patrick knows that better than anyone-because everything has a price, every debt always comes due, and it's finally time for Patrick to pay his.

Patrick Collins lavora da tre anni per l’AOS, l’Agenzia per le Operazioni Sovrannaturali, quando gli dèi decidono che è il momento di riscuotere il suo debito con loro. Un immortale è scomparso a New York e continuano a spuntare cadaveri collegati a un rituale demoniaco che gli ricorda fin troppo quello dei suoi incubi. Non potendo fuggire, si trova nuovamente ad affrontare i praticanti magici del Dominion Sect. Combattere da solo non è mai stata una tattica vincente, secondo la sua esperienza, ma sono passati anni dall’ultima volta in cui ha avuto un partner di cui potersi fidare. Cercando alleati nei luoghi più sbagliati, scopre che il prossimo obiettivo del Dominion Sect è lo stesso licantropo che i Fati hanno gettato sulla sua strada. Si è sentito immediatamente attratto da lui, ma il desiderio non serve in guerra. Questo non gli impedisce di volere ciò che non dovrebbe avere. Jonothon de Vere è bellissimo, pericoloso e non porta altro che problemi, per il caso, per la lotta contro l’Inferno e, non da ultimo, per il cuore e l’anima di Patrick. Alla fine, tutti i debiti devono essere ripagati e Patrick è costretto a fare ciò che gli riesce meglio: ingannare la morte.
