Two men. Too hot… Abby Finlay sticks to one simple rule: no commitment. Ever. She’s not a one-man woman—or even a one-woman woman. She likes sex, and she’s not afraid to experiment. The secret to her success is never sticking around long enough to let anyone past her tough, cynical exterior. Now her new boyfriend Eric is getting serious. Not only is Abby afraid of commitment, she has an undeniable attraction to Eric’s roommate Jett, and it’s making her nervous… Eric and his roommate Jett have been looking for that one perfect woman with whom to share their lives. Abby has no idea they’re a couple but when she admits her attraction to both of them, they think she might just be the missing piece who fits perfectly into the empty space. Confronted with not just one man, but two who offer her the “C” word, Abby’s buried fears come roaring to the surface. There’s only one thing left to do. Run, before she hurts the two men who mean more to her than they should.
New York Times and USA Today Bestselling author Lauren Dane takes you into a brand new world in All That Remains . Summer Killian falls fast and hard when Charlie arrives in Paradise Village. But the heat turns all the way up when she learns Charlie is also with Hatch — the man she loved four years before. While she’s not sure she’s cut out for a triad, neither man is going to give her up. Dear Reader, Metamorphosis is a brand new series I'll be self publishing. The first entry is ALL THAT REMAINS featuring Summer, Charlie and Hatch which appeared in the Marked print anthology. While the series is an earth set post plague futuristic, it is not a dystopian future. What we knew has metamorphosed into the new normal. Different yes, but still good in its own way. Four hundred years ago the Parkington-Bay virus infected and killed ninety percent of the humans on the face of the earth. The two generations that followed were lost to the chaos of waves more of contagion from all the dead from Park-B and the breakdown and marked change in basic human culture. In the following years, climate change rendered large swaths of the planet inhospitable, further changing culture and populations as humans changed not only how they lived, but where they lived as ocean levels rose along with temperatures. In the early days of Park-B, people would leave the population centers thinking to avoid the illness. They took to the roads in RVs and campers and the imprint of what would later become a caravan lifestyle began as successive generations took to the roads to earn a living with itinerant and migrant labor in the various food production centers, on construction crews, energy farms and the like. But it's not all caravans. There are still cities, though far fewer and with much smaller populations. And outside the cities there are villages, permanent population centers with a flow of migrant labor, usually to harvest crops of all types. ALL THAT REMAINS is set in such a place called Paradise Village. High up in the mountains, it's warm enough to support orchards and all sorts of year round crops people come and go to process and then send out to Portland and some of the remaining cities on the west coast. More than the physical and environmental changes, the shape and form of relationships has changed drastically. Not only are there less people, fertility rates are also very low with female births a scant percentage overall. Over four centuries this has created a culture that values and respects women with near reverence. It also means triads and quads are far more commonplace than a dyad (or two person relationship). The Metamorphosis books are intensely erotic books. Some with very unconventional relationships, but all will be romances.
“ At Attention is a story of healing, of hope, of that rush of new attraction, of friendship, trust building, letting go, and realizing that you can’t control your heart even when you have binders and lists to control everything else in your life.” — Guilty Pleasures Book Reviews Lieutenant Apollo Floros can ace tactical training missions, but being a single dad to his twin daughters is more than he can handle. He needs live-in help, and he’s lucky a friend’s younger brother needs a place to stay. He’s surprised to see Dylan all grown up with a college degree…and a college athlete’s body. Apollo’s widowed heart may still be broken, but Dylan has his blood heating up. It’s been eight years since the teenage Dylan followed Apollo around like a lovesick puppy, and it’s time he showed Lieutenant Hard-to-Please that he’s all man now—an adult who’s fully capable of choosing responsibility over lust. He can handle Apollo’s muscular sex appeal, but Apollo the caring father? Dylan can’t afford to fall for that guy. He’s determined to hold out for someone who’s able to love him back, not someone who only sees him as a kid brother. Apollo is shocked by the intensity of his attraction to Dylan. Maybe some no-strings summer fun will bring this former SEAL back to life. But the combination of scorching desire and warm affection is more than he’d expected, and the emotion between them scares him senseless. No fling lasts forever, and Apollo will need to decide what’s more important if he wants to keep Dylan in his life—his past or his future.

From NY Times and USA Today Bestselling Author, Cali Mackay... The Complete Series – Parts 1, 2 &3 (approximately 210 pages) All Molly wants is to spend her time in Ronan's arms, but when he's away at sea for months at a time, she can't help but get into trouble. Now she'll have to suffer the consequences at Ronan's hand-- a punishment she's all too keen on. But with him barely back a week, she's none too happy to hear he'll be leaving for another nine months away on the high seas, searching for a priceless treasure. When Molly hears that her ex-lover, Bjorn, has plans to go after the same treasure Ronan is hunting, she refuses to sit idly by and let Ronan meet with a horrible end, knowing the two men hate each other. Dressed as a cabin boy, she stows away on Bjorn’s ship to try to warn Ronan, but things get complicated when Bjorn recognizes her. Though Bjorn still loves her, he has every intention of using Molly’s precarious situation to his advantage, not only to get her back in his bed once more, but also to strike a bargain with his rival, Ronan. Yet not all is as it seems as emotions run high and past histories are uncovered as they each try to claim the feisty maid as their own. *Please note that this is an erotic romance between consenting adults and contains many explicit sex scenes that are varied and include multiple lovers, even though there is a Happily Ever After.
