Alphas on the Rocks
Werecreatures vs. Shifters Book #1
Ever since a hook-up infected Avery Smith with the werevirus, turning him into a were-ursine imbued with alpha magic, he’s been on the run. No established pack leader wants a rival in their territory, but he can’t start his own pack because few are willing to entrust their safety to a small-statured trans man. Lacking options, Avery joins a work farm where packless werecreatures labor in exchange for room and board. Then another potential hook-up lands him in the arms of the most dangerous man he could pick:
A shifter.
As an alpha, taking over his family-led cougar shifter pack is Sascha Madison’s birthright, but lifelong chronic illness has compromised his standing. Getting caught with a werecreature will ruin his slim chances of inheriting the pack, and could result in him being disowned by his father.
Despite everything that could go wrong, Sascha and Avery connect, discovering much more than casual relief. The rare flicker of belonging is threatened by the bitter conflict between their species. Shifters believe the monstrous transformations forced by the werevirus make a mockery of their existence, and the recent explosion of infections has put all packs on high alert.
While Avery endures harassment at the farm, Sascha struggles to protect him without revealing their intimate connection. When a predatory supervisor forces Sascha’s hand, Avery has to flee yet again… This time, with Sascha by his side.
Too quickly, they’re caught. Sascha’s father gives them an ultimatum: Separate permanently, or Avery dies. But there’s more to being a leader than oppressive dominance, and Sascha and Avery are determined to shatter the walls separating their species and find a pack that will accept them both.

Cat’s Got Your Heart
Who knew two men could form such a bitter rivalry over adopting a cat?
Jericho Adams is in need of a cat. Doesn’t sound too difficult, even for a reclusive artist like him. People adopt cats all the time. Those people clearly never met Harlan Vardanyan, the world’s surliest pet shop employee.
Harlan’s love for animals is matched only by his disdain for customers. Too much experience tells him they can’t be trusted. When Jericho sets his sights on Dumpling, an aloof-but-lovely young cat, Harlan vows the man will never have her. However, he can’t outright refuse without risking his job.
What he can do is fabricate a series of absurd adoption requirements that Jericho can’t possibly meet. Unfortunately for Harlan, the more his demands escalate, the more determined Jericho becomes to free Dumpling from her short, fire-breathing gatekeeper. Then Harlan is unexpectedly evicted from his apartment, and Jericho ends up rescuing him instead.
Now Jericho and Harlan are forced to continue their battle of wills in tight quarters. Except living together unveils vulnerability on both sides, and soon trading verbal jabs begins to feel… wrong. The weeks-long rivalry sputters, and in its place, a fragile intimacy begins to grow.
But the secret deadline for Jericho’s cat acquisition is rapidly approaching. He can’t let his feelings for Harlan get in the way of his ultimate goal, even if the betrayal will destroy whatever they’ve been building.

A Fae’s Two Alphas
Bennett Chiston is fed up.
After eight years with his fae father in Faerie, being trapped in a small Northern Michigan town with his controlling human mother is pure agony. Magic defined Bennett—it affirmed his identity as a trans man and allowed him true freedom.
Too bad Bennett’s father stole his magic and kicked him out of Faerie with zero explanation.
Desperate to return, Bennett hunts down Callum Truett, a reclusive magewolf alpha who may be able to restore Bennett’s magic. He doesn’t expect his long-lost childhood best friend Jesse Chen, another alpha wolf shifter, to barge in during the meeting. The tension between the two alphas is impossible to ignore, but it works in Bennett’s favor when Jesse needles Callum into accepting the job.
As each magical experiment fails, taciturn Callum keeps Bennett grounded, while cheerful Jesse lifts his spirits. The developing three-way connection turns into powerful attraction, even forcing Jesse and Callum to confront the mutual feelings they’d denied until Bennett arrived. Together, they all fit.
Yet Bennett still can’t let go of his desire to leave the mundane realm behind. Everything about it makes him miserable. Everything except Callum and Jesse.
When an opportunity to return to Faerie finally appears, Bennett is forced to choose: give up his two gorgeous alphas, or change his definition of home.

Home Within Skin
A homeless trans man and an alien sex worker ruin each other’s nights, film a porno, and fall in love.
Jax, a disabled trans man with more hangups than belongings, has survived two years of homelessness by keeping his head down and refusing to trust. The intergalactic Rrhi immigration reshaping life on Earth seems irrelevant until Jax sneaks into a hotel hoping for a respite from the cold and accidentally barges in on a Rrhi sex worker.
Sei-vész is stunning, but his defensiveness almost scares Jax away. Almost. Jax sees his vulnerabilities mirrored in Sei-vész, so he accepts the other man’s reluctant offer of a truce. What starts as a one-time experiment spirals into an unexpected deep affection that draws them into each other’s arms again and again.
When Sei-vész tries to protect Jax from his own stubbornness, though, Jax digs in his heels. Love isn’t a guarantee, and relying on others is what landed him on the streets in the first place.
If Jax wants a future with Sei-vész, he’ll need to challenge himself… and open up to trust. Otherwise he might be left out in the cold once again.
