But when he abandons his training in the heat of battle, his reckless ambition costs Bedwyr his sword hand. Once, Bedwyr trusted in two things: he was a warrior, and the presumed heir of Uthyr ap Emrys. Now, reeling from injury and banished by his father, he’s lost everything.

Into the Fire: The Complete Series

A lone-wolf writer and the playful hockey-star muse he never asked for… For wolf shifter Dmitri Sernov, life bites. His late-night hunts leave him winded, the twelfth rewrite of his novel is crap, and his last good lay was five drafts ago. He’s staring down forty with a creative well as empty as his bed. The last thing he needs is a beautiful, intimidating, obnoxious pup bent on exposing Dmitri’s underbelly… …and everything else that’s gone soft. + Thierry Marrou has burned every bridge from Montréal to Juneau. Once a prospect for Canada’s Olympic hockey team, he’s just been kicked off a piddling local squad in Nowhere, Alaska. But one whiff of the silver wolf on the opposing bench was enough to confirm that the dreams drawing Thierry across a continent have a very real source. Now all he has to do is convince Dmitri Sernov to be his alpha. Très simple, non? SURRENDER THE CHASE is the 2nd novel in the GRIZZLY RIM m/m shifter series. Lace up for pheromone-charged hockey, dirty French lessons, a grumpy hero who thinks he’s past his prime, and a pushy young hothead determined to prove him wrong. Tropes: age gap (39/27), grumpy vs playful, fated mates, forced proximity Content Notes: This story depicts sports violence (hockey), and unreliable parents.

Surrender the Chase

Best friends, big secrets. Getting to love is gonna be a beast. Nate Landry is living a whopper of a lie. He’s an otter shifter, that much is true. Folks say he’s the best river guide in the region, with an uncanny knack for finding the hottest fishing spots. And he has a good friend again, a guy he likes more than he ought to. Everything will be fine, as long as nobody—especially Mac—finds out he used to be Charlie Beauchamp, a covert-ops rescue swimmer who failed to save the one person he loved most. Then the real Nate Landry shows up, dragging Charlie’s grief and guilt out of the depths. + McKinley Greer knows how to keep a secret. Like where a bear shifter might find the best honey trees.

EMBRACE THE BEAST is the 3rd novel in the GRIZZLY RIM m/m shifter series. Brace yourself for a bear with a sweet tooth, an otter who knows how to use maple syrup, some very sticky sheets, and…well…it’s not called Grizzly Rim for nothin’, y’all. Tropes: friends to lovers, secret identity, size difference, introvert vs extrovert Content Notes: This story includes depictions of sibling grief, alcohol sobriety, memory of alcohol abuse, a high-water rescue, and self-harm (cuts and scrapes) as a result of loss of control.

Embrace the Beast

A woman’s place is with those she’s willing to fight for… A warlord’s daughter has responsibilities. No one knows that better than Gwen, only daughter and political pawn of her father, Uthyr. But with her husband banished and her brother gone after him, Gwen isn’t leaving her fate in Uthyr’s hands one moment longer. She has a plan and needs an accomplice she can trust. Luckily, her lover Elain is the most courageous, loyal, honest woman she knows. + Elain has a secret, and helping Gwen run away will only bring them closer to exposing the truth: that Elain too is the daughter of a powerful warlord—and his only heir. Now her best chance to give Gwen a secure future is to reclaim her birthright. But doing so would mean confronting the father she fled years ago. And risking the fragile bonds of the new family she’s only just found. + Meanwhile, Arthur’s restlessness amid the tedium of a winter border camp draws Bedwyr into risks that could inspire men to swear their swords…or destroy the tenuous alliances holding the Saxons at bay.

Driven by Duty

Sometimes it’s love at first sight. This is not one of those tales. Once upon a time, Uthyr was young and strong, a warrior without peer. He had a son who someday would follow him into battle. A beautiful new wife to ease the pain of losing his first one. And he’d just wrested power from his abusive father to ensure his people’s safety from Saxon invaders. Fortune was smiling on him. Or perhaps having a good joke. For just when he thought he possessed everything he could ever want, she arrived. + On that day long ago, Britte was weary and uncertain. Driven from their homeland by a corrupt king, she and her family had crossed sea and mountains to find refuge. But she hadn’t lost everything. She had a husband she loved deeply. Two healthy sons.

Tropes: enemies to lovers, unrequited love, hurt/comfort, slow burn Content Notes: This story involves depictions/descriptions of abuse of power; pregnancy and childbirth; death in childbirth; battle violence; injuries including limb loss; ableism; terminal illness; spousal death; grief; homophobia; drugging of another person; murder. While this story does not involve physical cheating, the emotions of its protagonists are complex and conflicted.

Disarmed by Desire

Course Correction

A restless rogue. A virgin with a secret. Sometimes fate demands a little shift in perspective… Safir has a life most men would kill for. Adventure! Glory! A different partner in his bed every night! ...Until his coin runs out. Which happens with alarming regularity. But he’s not the sort of fellow to save for the future. Especially if it’s unlikely to involve the proud but shy giant he’s never managed to seduce. Nearly broke and with a long winter stretching before him, Safir’s only amusement is collecting trinkets for the clever magpie that visits his chamber each night. + Morien has a dream most men would laugh at. He wants a peach orchard, and he’s willing to wait for a man who can give him one. Which, granted, hasn’t happened yet. But he’s not the sort to give up his dream—or his virginity—for just anyone. Especially a charming rogue of a sell-sword who thinks only of the present moment. No matter how many shiny baubles the scoundrel might bestow upon him. + But when he finds himself stranded at a remote farm with Arthur’s band of warriors, Morien realizes that tempting Safir with his virtue might be his best chance of hiding his other secret.

Tropes: rogue/virgin, love lessons, secret identity Content Notes: battle violence, a main character’s memory of an intimate situation between his adolescent self and an adult Relevant to: historical romance, paranormal romance, shifter romance, fantasy romance, gay romance, gay shifters, mm romance, mm shifters, lgbt romance, medieval romance

Charmed by Mischief

Gawain has earned his place in Arthur’s small gang of warriors with a bold agility that pays in their secret missions against the Saxons. Capturing the heart of a certain mercenary has been the hawk’s only failure. “Try again in seven years,” Palahmed said. As if Gawain had nothing better to do than mark the hours. He has plenty of things to do, and waiting for any man—even one as tall, dark, and miserable as Palahmed—isn’t one of them. Not that he’s above showing the sell-sword what he’s missing. + Six and a half years ago, Palahmed threw down the stupidest challenge of his life, and he’s regretted it every day since. He wasn’t wrong to do it; his history with younger men has been a disastrous journey, pierced through with guilt and shame. And Gawain is young—and cocksure and beautiful and entirely infuriating. Every time the hawk slips into enemy territory, Palahmed must shore up his inner defenses or lose his mind to worry. But every stronghold has a weak point. + When an unexpected mission threatens to set Gawain on a collision course with the brutal father he escaped, Palahmed can’t help but swear his sword to back him. Gawain must agree or appear a coward, even as Palahmed braces himself to get closer than ever to the one man who could bring his fortress crashing down. Amid the cold, harsh beauty of Britain’s far north, the two will have to face the truth unspoken between them, or neither will survive to tell the tale. + TEMPTED BY RUIN is the 4th novel of the SONS OF BRITAIN series.

It's just his luck that among the strangers are a small girl with strength to spare and a man whose sure hand sparks an unsettling instinct to obey. + Raised by a brutal despot, Agravain is determined to be a better father to his daughter. He has enough problems without adding this pathetic excuse for a wild wolf to his burdens. But he doesn’t count on his lass’s quick attachment to the beast, nor how helping the wolf mend eases the loneliness of their island home. And he can’t explain at all why the creature seems to understand him better than anyone else. + Meanwhile, a surprise visitor to Arthur’s shifter compound could corner him into finally accepting a few truths that have dogged him for over a decade.
