It has to be Fate, right?Edward Rosen, level ten mage, hadn’t reached the end of his tether – he was hanging from it. After a hundred and twenty-four years of living under his parents’ rules, Edward decided the only way things could change, was if he got married. The only problem was that the wedding was meant to take place in a matter of hours and Edward hadn’t met his groom yet.Mammon, Prince of Hell, was doing what most demons did when they were bored – he was playing poker. When an unbeatable hand is foiled by a summons, he’s not impressed. But rules are rules and Mammon followed the summons, determined to get back to his game as quickly as possible.Marrying was just the first hurdle. Coping with the demands of Edward’s family, a curse, a prophecy, and four hellhounds took a lot of work. Clara’s having a ball, but what’s with all the toothpicks and where did the dragon come from?Summons is a 50,000 word story that’s a classic example of what happens when the author’s muse runs amuck. But like all of Lisa’s stories, it contains fated mates, a spot of humor, and intimate situations between two men that are only suitable for readers eighteen years and older. HEA is guaranteed. less

Ever since he went through his awakening at fifteen, Reginald Forsyth ("Reggie") had received mysterious notes on his bathroom mirror every birthday.

Initially supportive, the notes got progressively more flirtatious as he got older. Now, one day from his twenty-fifth birthday, Reggie is about to be an adult in vampire terms, and ready to meet his admirer. After shouting off his big mouth, Dirkin spent ten years in the shadows, watching his mate grow from a teenager into a handsome and sensitive adult. Now all he wants is to see if holding the mans of his dreams is as good as he'd imagined. He could have done without some of Reggie's questionable friends, but with his mate by his side, there wasn't much Dirkin couldn't handle. Or so he thought. A sultry cat-shifter, a goth vampire, Dirkin's best friend Balthazar, and a karaoke machine all have to be dealt with before he and Reggie get their HEA. And an Italian chef gets a mention too. There's no question here if Dirkin and Reggie get their HEA - the only question is whether or not they'll have the energy left to enjoy it. Reggie's Reasons is the second book in the Quirk of Fate series. Quirk of Fate is a series of independent standalone stories that have no attachment to others in the series except by the quirky and different ways Fated Mates can end up meeting.This story is 46,000 words, and includes some violence, intimate situations between men, and adult language.

But Dathan is living on his aunt and uncle’s favor, and so when his uncle asks for one in return, he is obligated to say yes. How hard can it be to turn up for a line up at the local police station? Dathan thought it would be a laugh, but the experience gave him more than he’d bargained for. <br><br>Steam trains, grotesque machines, beautiful birds in gilded cages. Billy and Dathan have to navigate all of these and more for a chance at their HEA.

It might be a boring life to some... but it’s my life and I have everything I need. Rhino shifter, Malik, has built himself a good life. He owns and operates his own mechanical workshop servicing and fixing vintage cars. While his business is definitely on the seedier side of town, Malik’s size, and the occasional intervention meant that most people knew to treat him with respect.

Rhino shifter, Malik, has built himself a good life. He owns and operates his own mechanical workshop servicing and fixing vintage cars. While his business is definitely on the seedier side of town, Malik’s size, and the occasional intervention meant that most people knew to treat him with respect. That was until one night, two men from a local crew attack an innocent man in the alley behind Malik’s workshop. When Malik saves the innocent, he realizes the Fates had led his mate right to his doorstep. Due to circumstances, however, there wasn’t a lot Malik could do when the same mate ran off within ten minutes of their meeting. “I didn’t walk into this situation. It crept up on me and caught me unawares.” Tynan left the fae realm for Earth eighteen months earlier. Setting himself up as a PI, he was struggling to find his feet in a world so different to the one he grew up in. With his only friend, a talking raven named Sparky, Tynan does his best to solve cases while doing all he can to blend in – usually with disastrous results. When a lead from a case has him ending up in an alley getting the crap kicked out of him, Tynan’s saved by a hunky barefoot hero. Unfortunately, his magic decided to kick in, showering everything, including the hero, with purple glitter causing Tynan to run away in embarrassment. “So you had a bit of a magical whoopsie. Does it really matter?” Tynan and Malik do get together, but it seems having two paranormals in the same building has caught the attention of someone who would prefer to eradicate anyone “different.” When it seems there’s a connection between that same person and the case Tynan was working on, the danger to the pair increases. When it seems as if confrontation is the only answer, an unusual alliance could prove to be the only way this pair will get their HEA. Frequent use of the words “fruitcake” and “together”. Sparky is determined to prove himself as the most able “avian surveillance method.” There may or may not be gremlins, but that’s up to you to decide.As with all of my stories this book was written for adults.
