I will kill to keep him. Oakley. It’s a new start - brand new school in a completely different state. For the first time, I now have the freedom to be unapologetically me. But as my luck would have it, I have shit taste in men. The first man to pay me a compliment has so many red flags, I think I’m in a storm. Life can’t get any worse… until he turns into a stalker. Then my stalker ends up brutally murdered, I walk blindly into a serial killer’s nest, and I catch the attention of a sociopath... moreI will kill to keep him. Oakley.

Sometimes stars grant you wishes that come covered in blood. I’ve wanted one thing for as long as I can remember - someone to love, a family, and a happily ever after. I finally found it with the least likely person across the street. Our life together has been dipped in espresso and given a massive jolt forward, but we couldn’t be happier. That is, until someone threatens that happiness and I’m forced to respond in order to protect my family that’s barely begun... moreSometimes stars grant you wishes that come covered in blood.

Months of texting silly innuendos leads to the hottest moment of my young life. Instead of dealing with the moment like an adult, I ghost him for nine days. Just when I think I’m ready to face him, he’s on his way out to hook up. I lose my shit. Coming clean about past heartbreak isn’t easy. Navigating what I promise is a ‘no expectations’ relationship proves impossible - not just because falling for Haze Prosser is far too easy, but because I’m internally freaking out as two thirds of my brothers are off fighting brutal criminals, leaving me home to take care of my unhinged brother’s perfectly safe husband. It’s all fine until Voss calls in a panic and needs immediate back up. I don’t have a choice but to drag Oakley and Haze straight into the heart of NYC’s mafia families. Everything will be fine…. ***. This is a LGBTQIA+ story with content not intended for those under 18 years of age due to graphic scenes and situations. less

Sometimes what you’re waiting for has a funny way of being right in front of you for a long time. Albrecht Holleran is one of those instances. I know that his broody, moody, assholery is the mask of a man struggling. Over two years, I’ve pried that mask off and we became friends. Nearly coinciding with the birth of my son, Brek and I began to explore something growing between us. Then he vanishes and it’s a race against time to find him before his expiration date. Everyone knows that the longer someone is missing, the chances of finding them alive lessen. Doing what I do best, I track Brek’s movements and find that I couldn’t possibly expect a worst case scenario. I’m better behind a desk; my weapon of choice is my computer. But nothing will stop me from getting Brek back. Even if we all die in the process. ***.
