Don't Feed the Vampire
Riley has been alone in the woods for a long time. Turned as a child, he’s hungrier and more fractured than the average vampire, and staying clear of humans is his safest bet. His moms think a mate could help him stabilize, but it’s unclear whether Riley has one, anomaly that he is. Until a new baker arrives in town, smelling so sweet and so perfect that Riley can barely stop himself from eating him up on the spot. Now it’s no longer a question of whether Riley has a mate, but whether Riley can pretend to be less of a monster long enough to woo him.
Romance has never been Seth’s priority. He’s always been more focused on family and friendships and his passion for feeding delicious baked goods to whoever will take them. So it’s odd that this too young, too quiet, too beautiful man keeps showing up at Seth’s door, looking at Seth like he’s something special instead of painfully ordinary. And it’s even more odd that Seth can’t keep his own boundaries straight or his hands to himself. And it’s maybe oddest of all that Seth is coming to feel like Riley’s unnerving, unwavering attention is something he might not be able to live without.

Don't Hook the Merman
Luke Wainwright never meant to let a monster into his home.
A single father living in the same small town he grew up in, Luke’s world has become small and predictable. He takes care of his son, makes custom furniture when he can, and pretends he wouldn’t want to date even if he could. But when Luke is lured to the beach by strange nighttime serenades, only to find a beautiful, naked stranger in need of assistance, his careful routine is quickly blown apart in the most alarming way. Because Syrus isn’t only odd and flirtatious and full of endless secrets—he’s a creature from the depths, with sharp teeth and a powerful tail. A creature who has his sights set on Luke.
Syrus never meant to find himself a sweet, single father.
Taken from the seas, captured and hurt and weakened, Syrus’s only intention after escape was to call for help, hoping for a human he could trust long enough to heal and return to the ocean. But Luke isn’t any old human. He’s kind, and he’s brave, and he deserves more than bearing the weight of the world on his solitary shoulders. Lucky for him, he has Syrus now. Because whatever Syrus’s original intentions, what he intends now is to take this little family for himself.
