Blurb:

Grant

I built my global security empire from nothing. Control and discipline are the only rules I live by. Some might call me ‘intense’. I prefer ‘meticulously prepared for every disaster imaginable.’

Growing up in a group home with my two brothers taught me the only lesson that mattered: never let anyone close enough to hurt you. As a CEO, I don’t improvise. I plan. I command.

When I’m hired to provide security for an engagement party, I expect an easy job.

Instead, I meet a woman who treats my rules like optional suggestions. I’m used to being obeyed. Ruby clearly doesn’t plan on doing that. Not even a little.

She tempts me like no one else ever has. Whenever we’re together, my thoughts drift in dangerous directions. Wanting her becomes an obsession. I want to give her everything. But surrendering control means breaking my own rules. And I’ve never done that before.

Ruby

I love my restaurant, my life, and finding the bright side of just about everything. Hosting my best friend’s engagement party? Easy. Fun. Right up my alley.

What I’m not prepared for is Grant Clifford—and his many, many rules.

He’s a fine specimen of a man. Unfortunately, he also comes with a massive stick lodged firmly up his gorgeous behind. Under that perfectly tailored suit is a man who desperately needs to loosen up. Preferably with me.

The closer I get, the more clearly I see the scars beneath his rigid exterior. And I want to heal them all. But how do I reach a man who refuses to let anyone in?

#NewRelease





Harbored By My Mate by Luna Wilder is #nowavailable!

https://geni.us/HarboredByMyMate


Available on All Platforms




She’s his, and he’ll do anything to keep her safe.

Knox
I made it through one deployment before I was injured and discharged.
Now I’m back in Night Grove Falls and trying to figure out what to do with my life.
The Midnight Haven has helped give me purpose, but there’s still something missing.
Or someone.
When Daisy runs into me when I’m out on patrol, I know that I’ve just found my missing piece.
She’s running from the law, so I take her home where I can keep her safe.
I know that I’m harboring a fugitive, but that’s not going to stop me from keeping my mate here with me.
Now that I've found her, nothing is going to take her from me.

Daisy
The charges against me are bogus.
My neighbor, Joe, is a cop and has been obsessed with me for years.
I thought that we were just friends, but when I went over to his house one night for dinner, I stumbled across something startling.
He has photos of me, hundreds, videos too.
It’s then that I realize that he’s not my friend.
He’s a stalker.
I try to create some distance between us, but he’s always there, always watching.
So, I try to file a restraining order, and that’s when things escalate.
Suddenly, I’m wanted for grand larceny, a crime I didn’t commit.
I know that I won’t get a fair trial, not here, so I run.
Straight into Knox.
I expect him to turn me in, but instead, he surprises me.
He says that I’m his.
Now I’m questioning if I’ve traded in one stalker for another, and wondering why I like having all of Knox’s attention when I hated having Joe’s.

Blurb


I survived a deployment because of her letters, so there's nothing I wouldn't do for her now...




I was fully prepared to come home in a box. In the dust of Afghanistan, I’d accepted that my life was worth exactly as much as the brothers standing beside me. But then the packages started arriving. My buddy's little sister quickly became my only tether to a world that made sense. And her letters kept me from losing my mind when the world went dark.



Somehow I managed to trade the battlefield for the Knightdale Charter, and since I've been home I've used the club’s business to drown out the echoes of war. I've never stopped thinking about her, but I've kept my distance from her world of soft edges and quiet dreams. We are opposites in every way. The only thing we have in common is her brother.



Then one phone call changes everything. She's drowning in grief and caught in the chaos that follows every soldier home from war. The moment she whispers my name, I'm done for. Now I can't stay away, but I can be the stoic shoulder she can cry on. Yet the moment she collapses into my arms, every instinct I have starts screaming a single truth: she's mine. And I don't just want to comfort her, I want to make her forget the pain.



She thinks she has to face this darkness on her own, but this woman's love carried me through a war. I leave no man behind, so she's not shouldering this burden alone. We'll get through this together, no matter what it takes.

๐Ÿ‰ FREE DRAGON RIDER ROMANTASY ALERT ๐Ÿšจ
For a very limited time, A Bond of Fire & Fury by Brenda Trim is free to download on Amazon!!


At thirty-two, I'm too old for this. The dragon that chose me has already killed three riders. And my instructor knows exactly what I am—he's just not telling me.

I've spent three decades perfecting failure. College dropout. Fired barista. Retail disaster. Freelance photographer who couldn't book a gig. When a military recruiter offers me a spot at Thornwick Academy, I'm desperate enough to ignore every red flag.

I expect boot camp. I get creatures that shouldn’t exist.

Thornwick isn't a military academy—it's a hunting ground for an ancient war, where legacy families bond with Sovereigns or die trying. These cadets have trained since childhood. They know the protocols, the bloodline politics, the secret history of this place. I learned magic existed seventy-two hours ago.

Then Obsidian chooses me.

A black dragon. A mountain-shaking force that killed his last three potential riders. Ancient, volatile, and now mine. The academy gives me two weeks before I'm added to his body count.

But my flight instructor? He's already decided I'll survive.

Captain Kael Blackwater is devastating and dangerous, pushing me past every limit while watching me like I'm a bomb he's trying to defuse. He trains me like my life depends on it—because it does. What I don't understand is why.

Why does he look at me like he knows something I don't?

Why are black dragon riders being systematically murdered, their deaths staged as training accidents?

Why are pale creatures with needle-sharp teeth suddenly hunting bonded dragons, draining their blood, leaving corpses that all lead back to me?

Kael has answers. About black dragons. About a royal bloodline supposedly exterminated centuries ago. About what I am and why Obsidian chose a thirty-two-year-old foster kid with no magic, no family, no right to be here.

He's keeping me alive by keeping me in the dark.

And I'm falling for him anyway—for the man who's either my protector or my handler, who teaches me to fly while hiding the truth about why things with teeth are hunting me, who might have orders to eliminate me the second I become too dangerous.

The Bonding Ceremony was supposed to be the hard part. No one warned me that the real test is surviving what I'm becoming.

Welcome to Thornwick Academy, where:

  • Dragons choose riders (or kill them)

  • Instructors keep deadly secrets about your bloodline

  • Something is hunting bonded Sovereigns and draining them dry

  • The man training you might be the one ordered to end you

  • Being chosen isn't an honor—it's a target on your back

Wanting him could destroy me, but it could also save me.


Carson


I dreamed of being a Navy SEAL, but to achieve my goal, I had to choose. I could be gay or be a SEAL. Being a SEAL won out. You couldn’t miss what you had never experienced. I hoped being a team guy would fill the void left by denying who I was.



And it did, until terrorists took my teammate captive, and I watched two of my best friends find love. Now repressed thoughts and feelings plagued me, and I didn’t know if I’d be able to resist.



Especially not when my first and only crush showed up.


Roman


Growing up in the bible belt was hard enough, especially when my dad, the town doctor, committed suicide. I hid in the closet until I left for college. There twosomes turned into moresomes, which somehow led to a drunken hook-up with a sorority girl. When she turned up pregnant, I married her, but she disappeared as soon as the baby was born, leaving me a single dad.

Ashes, ashes we all fall down



ASTER


Sabbath Creed had an intensity that always enthralled me, yet I never would have fathomed his love could warp my own sanity into madness, setting ablaze everything I loved until nothing was left but ashes and agony.


I’ve always been drawn to fire, the way it consumes, transforms, and purifies. But I never expected it to devour my world, leaving nothing behind but ashes and heartbreak.


From that moment on, I chose to escape my fate, to escape him.


I could always feel his presence, lingering like smoke in the air. It was only a matter of time before he would find me. His love, twisted and charred by the flames of his obsession, burned endlessly for me. He would never let me go, not after what happened.


I thought working at Camp Redwood would hide me from his gaze, but it only pushed me into the spotlight with its own dark secrets. He was here, and I needed to make the ultimate decision: allow his love to consume me or extinguish its flames. Forever.



SABBATH


She thinks she can escape me, but she'll never understand. I’m not just a part of her past; I’m a part of her. She might try to extinguish the flames, but I'll never let her. I will make her mine again—no matter the cost. My little spitfire.Blurb:

Blurb: 


Gideon had been dreaming and dreaming and dreaming, a dream he never seemed to able to wake from. And to call it a dream was as broken a description as a child could crayon draw. A nightmare mired in the macabre was the signpost planted in the blood of its concrete. A nightmare shivving his spine and soul with every moment it crawled forward


It was filled with all those he loved, calling for him, pleading, screaming, to save them, to help them and yet he could do nothing but sleep, nothing but dream, circling on repeat over and over again.



And the images were a caricature of a reality cracked in madness, Shira and So'Sha, grown, blades and death in their eyes, Shadow and Moon standing on two legs, L'Sana and Ari in a cage dreaming their own dreams, chained in their own devils, flashing images of a universe at war with itself, the Shadowborn whispering again and again 'Soon Gideon, soon....be ready.."



He wanted to shatter his prison, wanted to howl, wanted to reach out to those that were his world, his everything but only sleep and dream, sleep and dream...the true War had come and he was drowning within his own mind, choking on the detritus of impotency, eternity in chains that didn't give a shit.



"I will slaughter them all!!"



Gideon would wake and people would die, a thousand times over they would die!!!


He screamed this at himself, over and over, lost in the dream, in the macabre broken of breaking. It was the prayer he kept lamenting to no-one, kept spitting into the pillow of his insanity as the bars to his cage, tightened, crushing his flesh and his hope, endlessly cruel, endlessly ambivalent.



He would wake, a promise, and a killer would come with him.

thinks it's his big break-a chance to perform at a luxury resort alongside the state's top young musicians.



Then a goat-headed demon shows up.



Calling itself the Accuser, the creature taunts Joe with cryptic clues about his missing parents. At the resort, things get worse: some of the musicians are secretly in league with the demon...and Joe's stuck rooming with one of them.



Between rehearsals, unraveling a deadly occult conspiracy, and trying not to fall for the lead alto saxophonist (whose ex wants him dead), Joe has to piece together the truth before the Accuser regains its full power-and devours every soul on Earth.
