An emotional MM romance of protective love, quiet strength, and the healing power of trust.

Darren Quinn, a seasoned professional and manager of an elite haven for the overburdened, finds his boundaries crumbling when newly divorced Miles Bennet walks through his door.

Miles isn’t just another client; he’s a man drowning in guilt, seeking healing in surrender. But as Darren provides the steady hand and protective care Miles needs, their connection deepens into something neither expected. When Miles’s vulnerability collides with Darren’s overwhelming desire, lines blur—until a single kiss shatters every professional rule.

Now, Darren must decide if his career is worth more than the man who has finally made his house feel like a home. Can he set aside his professional mask for a truth he can no longer deny: that Miles isn't just seeking his command, he’s seeking a place to finally belong? A steamy, MM hurt comfort romance about healing, trust, and the courage to let go—both in the sanctuary and in love. HEA/HFN.

The quiet, earnest vulnerability of Heated Rivalry meets the profound healing and protective authority of a Nora Phoenix hero in this deeply emotional, high-heat romance where a man must break every rule and yield to his deepest desires just to heal the man he can’t live without.

*Jett & Leighton: On Cravenwood Block is a steamy, opposites-attract, bisexual-awakening, roommates-to-lovers M/M romance featuring a sexy-as-sin tattoo artist and a fresh, flashy barista with a smile that lights up the room.*

This is book 1 in the Cravenwood Block series and can be read as a standalone.
Jett is accustomed to people thinking he’s an intimidating, aloof loner. He doesn’t really mind, even though finding a special connection to someone would be nice. Opening his own tattoo shop on Cravenwood Block is a dream come true, but he isn’t prepared for the determined little ray of sunshine who walks through his door and turns his entire world upside down.

Leighton knows better than to let himself get involved with a straight guy again—been there, done that, got the t-shirt and some stylish baggage he’s been lugging around ever since. However, the moment he lays eyes on the new tattoo artist on the block, he can’t help the instant pull toward the man.

Meeting Leighton throws Jett for a curve. He’s forced to recognize he’s got a lot to learn about himself, and he quickly realizes he actually likes the man he’s uncovering. Leighton knows it’s dangerous to let his heart hold onto hope, but he can’t shake the feeling something good is just around the corner.

True love packs a punch…

Tiffanie Trent is not having a great week. Gavin, her boyfriend, has dumped her unceremoniously on their tenth anniversary, leaving her heartbroken and homeless.

Frank Black, the owner of Blackie’s boxing gym and where Tiff has been book-keeper for the last decade, has dropped dead. He's not having a great week either.

And if that wasn’t enough, Mike ‘The Assassin’ Fellner, boxer of international fame and Tiff’s first love, is back in town and more gorgeous than ever. Tiff can’t seem to go anywhere without bumping into his biceps.

When she discovers Blackie has left her the gym, Tiff, with her saggy trackies and supermarket trainers, is certain she’ll fail. Can Tiff step up and roll with the punches, or will she be down and out at the first round?

She only packed for a flying visit. Now she’s stuck with no flights, no hotel and no plan B.

Anna Lundholm was only supposed to be in Copenhagen for a few hours. Just long enough to tie up some loose ends, grab one of the city’s famous hot dogs and be on her way. No stops, no distractions, no goodbyes.

Until a snowstorm grounds her flight.

With the beautiful city at a snowy standstill, Anna turns to Jamie – a gorgeous Scot with an open door and a raised eyebrow.

When a twist of fate throws university student Crys Murphy into an unexpected job on tour with a wildly successful rock band, her crush on the guitarist turns into powerful temptation. But there’s a dark side to the glamour and champagne: Blade has anger and addiction issues, a history of partying with groupies, and a tendency to get naked in public — and Crys is supposed to keep him out of trouble.

As she gets to know the talented and lonely man behind the bad boy behavior, the chemistry between them wavers on the edge of something deeper. But he doesn’t do relationships, and she grew up expecting a white-picket-fence future. Can he reform and open his heart to love? Will she give up her straitlaced upbringing for her troubled rock star?

My high school crush is everything to me. Under normal circumstances, you’re ready to graduate and get away from your overbearing family. I hated leaving her behind to pursue my college career, and honestly, I’ve been lonely as hell since. Missing her smile, her voice, her sharp as hell tongue—everything.

It’s been a few years but I waited like a good boy. Waited for her to turn eighteen, choose to leave her abusive father behind, and run away with me.

Now?

I’m back for her. If I have anything to say about it, she’ll put this damn town in the rear view mirror and never look back.

Unfortunately, some things don’t work out.

Nadia

Dad raised me to be a hard ass and that trait didn't dissolve when I moved out of his house. In fact, when I finally got my 'big girl' job at the prison it got worse. I have been observing Kace for a year now. Once he jumped on my radar, he fucked up. I make his life hell, little did I know my own was about to railroad me.

Kace

I fucked up one damn time and got thrown into this prison. Judge took one look at me, with the governor whispering in his ear, and threw away the fucking key. No second chances, nothing. It took a few years, and unlikely friendships but my prison life turned around. Now though? I have a bitch of a guard on my ass. Slowly ruining what life I have left.

Lucien

She doesn't know me, but I know her. I have known her all of my life-- watching her from afar. When I got sent to the prison she is a guard at, I snapped when I found out she was being a fucking whore for one of the inmates. She is mine and I will fucking kill anyone who lays a hand on her.
