Tasty Tempatation
An alpha looking for peace. An omega who wants so much more…
Eli: I’ve been the talk of the town since I was a kid. Fame, fortune, the spotlight, that’s the norm for me. But no one tells you celebrity comes with major pitfalls. Like not getting close to anyone. Or attracting the attention of a certain psycho who won’t leave you alone. I just want to act, go home, and be by myself. But my parents are determined to be a thorn in my side. And that thorn is named Brice Wilson. He might be a chef, but he has a backbone made of steel. I shouldn’t be attracted to this alpha, but every time he comes around I’m stuck. Too bad the man gets on my last damn nerve.
Brice: This is the chance I need to get ahead. An ex-convict and world-class screwup, my options are limited. Thank Goddess for my cousin doctoring up my papers and making me out to be a perfect little chef. There’s just one thing he failed to mention: the pampered princess known as Eli Vega. I don’t do well with brats and this omega takes the freakin’ cake. My wolf thinks this is our mate, but I want nothing to do with the man. Too bad fate has other plans.

Alpha Stanley Larsen is a rule-follower. He’s buttoned up tight, and as much as he wants to fit in, he just can’t seem to find his place in this world. He’s too short to be intimidating, too stern to be charming, and even though he’s good with his hands, singlehandedly putting together the backdrops, props, and costumes for performances at The Apollo Theater, no one’s willing to give him a chance on a more personal level. What he really needs is an omega who’s willing to take control.
Omega Del Connelly has no problem with control… unless it’s keeping a leash on the alpha tiger who lives within him. On weekends, he dons his alternate persona, Mistress Delilah, for performances at The Spotlight, Valleywood’s famous drag bar, but as much as he lives and breathes for the stage, it’s not shaping up to be all he dreamed it would be. First it’s hecklers and handsy alphas in the audience, but now the neighborhood is getting dangerous, putting him constantly on edge. What he really needs is to let loose, but to do that, he’ll need to find a mate that he and his tiger can agree on.

A small, insignificant little bakery shop sits smack in the middle of the block, with a proprietor who refuses to move.
Jax Jordan, the owner of Bake Love Not War, just got a new catering contract for a production company at Valleywood Studios, and this is his big chance to become a success. As an omega dragon shifter, he is desperate to have a career and not be dependent on any man or have any babies for a long, long time. He’s on a serious time constraint, though, because his birthday is coming up soon and his father has threatened to make him come on his twenty-first to participate in the annual Dragon Omega Auctions. His only chance to avoid a fate worse than death is to be left alone so he can pursue his business. The last thing he needs in his complicated life is an alpha dragon, who’s not only gorgeous and sexy, but who has a seductive scent like chocolate chip cookies and even a French accent! It seems like overkill—and on top of all of that he claims he’s Jax’s fated mate and begins making demands on him—demands that Jax’s body is only too willing to meet.
This stand-alone story features powerful dragons, a strong alpha, a stubborn omega, an unexpected pregnancy and a father waiting in the wings to ruin his son’s life if he can. Add in a dash of humor, a scoop of sexiness and a guaranteed HEA and you have a recipe for lighthearted romance.

Daddy Wolf
Kohen
The one thing that I hated about the celebrity bodyguard thing was pop-princesses that would never do as they were told.
Alpha-wolf and estranged from my pack, I knew after being responsible for my mother’s death, home would only ever be a theoretical concept, no matter how many years passed.
Trevor
I’d survived being abandoned, the foster system, and finally found a place my adoring fans couldn’t get enough of my music. Everything should have finally been perfect, except for the bodyguard my manager gave me. His brash orders and demands should have made me run in the opposite direction, but only succeeded in making me wish the Daddy name I gave him as a joke could turn into something real as I curled up on his lap.
Kohen finally realizes that the threats to Trevor’s life aren’t just some crazed stalker fan, that his manager touts for publicity. Knowing that he wants nothing more than to hear Trevor call him Daddy for real, he runs to the only place he knows he can keep his mate and their unborn pup completely safe.
Or can he?
Because danger has a terrible way of seeking them out, and sometimes even the safest places are just somewhere else for a monster to hide.

In the Pink
You’d think winning the Powerball would be the most exciting thing to happen in a poor flamingo shifter’s life, and it was, until my family moved from Florida swampland to glamorous Valleywood. Swimming pools, movie stars, and every flavor of supernatural you can think of. Where a family of shifters can live in a huge pink mansion and not worry about normal human riffraff.
Unfortunately, the famous actor next door, Dmitri Barlovski, is not only the most beautiful person I’ve ever seen, but also turns out to be a territorial swan shifter. When my little brother gets caught playing in the swan’s koi pond, things escalate between me and Dmitri until I punch him in the face and he threatens to have me put in jail. Fun times.
As Dmitri and I get to know each other, different kinds of sparks start flying between us despite a ton of reasons why we don’t belong together. His dad, a goose mafia kingpin, hates me. I’m not Dmitri’s type—at all. We’re not even the same species.
None of that matters because Dmitri and I belong together and no one will stand in our way. Not Dmitri’s homicidal father, two terrifying cassowary bodyguards, or my well-meaning but crazy relatives. Not even Dmitri himself when he tells me over and over he’ll never have a mate.
In the Pink is #23 in the multi-author series Valleywood. It's a stand-alone urban fantasy MM romance with a redneck flamingo shifter, a Valleywood movie star swan shifter with stabby tendencies, gangster geese, massive Australian murder birds, a flamboyance of nosy—and noisy—flamingos, a sex demon, and really excellent shrimp salad.
The Raven God’s Dream
This is one future that can't be left up to chance.
As God of the Future, Rowen Norn can see almost any thread of Fate, except for his own. And while all he wants is to find a soulmate of his own, he's been forced to watch his brothers find their own happily ever afters instead. He keeps telling himself that he can wait, that Fate will bring him his love when it's time. All he has to do is keep waiting.
Then he meets alpha Emilio Kyle, actor and single dad. Emilio and his little girl worm their way into Rowen's life and heart, and before long, Rowen finds himself wondering if it isn't time to take control of his own destiny and make a family on his own terms.
But while Rowen has been keeping his gaze fixed firmly on the future, the past has been gathering strength. While Rowen is a god, there are still limits to his power--even things completely outside of his control. Danger borne of anger and jealousy looms large behind them, threatening to destroy everything between Rowen and Emilio before they even begin.
The Raven God's Dream is book 24 in the multi-author Valleywood series. While each book in Valleywood can be read as a stand alone, this book does follow events in The Raven God's Gift (Vale Valley) and The Raven God's Fate (Valleywood), and is best read in that order. It includes a yard zombie named Clive, a god so afraid of ruining his future he might just run away from it, and a little girl who definitely knows way more than she should about pretty much everything.
