Can an assassin who exists only for one man accept his destiny as the treasured possession of four elite warriors?

The world of Teros is full of beautiful, twisted things. Elves who’ve traded their magical birthright for biogenetic enhancements. Shifters who transform into the beasts of legend. Vampires who feed on their human subjects with impunity and enforce their rule with servants honed into deadly creatures of destruction—and seduction. None is rarer than the chimera, a special class of human and a vessel of limitless power for any lover strong enough to tame them.

As the favored "Puppet" of the Master Vampire of Ark, Arden exists to enact his master’s will. When the Brotherhood of Aeon, an elite force from the subterranean realm of the Vale, turns the tables and kidnaps the rare creature, Arden is thrown into the world of the fae, where nothing is as it seems.

The Vale is a realm of old magic and exquisite beauty beyond imagination, ruled by Dusk, the Prince of the Fae. When Dusk strips Arden of his vampire nature and the purpose that has guided him from birth, his only focus is escape. But the Brotherhood insists that he’s more than just a Puppet. To them, he’s a being deserving of love and protection, and he must be guarded at all costs.

Hey, everybody! As some of you know, I also write MM romance as Joel Abernathy and the second book in the Flesh and Bone series is live today!

Check it out, but please note the content warnings on the inside cover. This is a darker book that deals with trauma and other difficult themes.

Hey, wonderful readers!! The Mountain Shifters Book 12, His Reclassified Omega is live!

This one's a bit of a role reversal from the usual Alpha-omega dynamic, as I'm sure readers who've already met Charles and Myron in Book 11 will expect! ;)

~

An omega who wants nothing to do with Alphas meets an Alpha who feels he’ll never measure up.

Myron has never fit the mold of a typical omega. For one thing, he has no interest in settling down with anyone other than another omega. When the woman he loves leaves him for a far more conventional mate, he takes a job he’s hardly qualified for just to get out of the country.

The last thing he’s expecting to find in London is a mate. Especially not the eccentric Alpha CEO of the infamous Futurus Initiative. Charles proves to be an equally unconventional Alpha, and the need he stirs in Myron is both unexpected and impossible to ignore.

~

Charles has given his life to his controversial research at the Futurus Initiative, and his promotion to CEO has been one nightmare after another. Myron is far from the ideal of a typical omega spokesman, but he proves to be the breath of fresh air the company—and Charles—needs so desperately.

One night makes Charles question everything. His choices, the voice that tells him he’ll always be alone, and his very identity as an Alpha. Meeting his destined mate leads to the revelation that he may not be a defective Alpha at all, but rather something else entirely. Now if only Myron felt the same way…

This is a bit overdue, but I thought I'd get the word out there about my last seasonal release, "Second Chance Valentine." Some of you may recognize the main POV characters from other books in the omegaverse I created with my partner, Wolf Conan (The "Undercover Alphas" series, "An Omega for Christmas")--this is the story of Peter, an Alpha hitman, and John, the beta he was hired to kill. We all know how imprinting can change things in the omegaverse, and that's the case here, too. ;-)

It is less seasonal than some previous releases, so you don't have to read it in February! It's free for Kindle Unlimited users and $2.99 (at the time of writing) if you don't have KU. Check it out!

-----------------

An Alpha hitman and the beta he was hired to kill get a second chance at love…but first, they’ll have to run for their lives.

Peter is a hired gun who answers to no one. John is his exception to everything: his perfect kill streak, his romantic preference for omegas, and the subzero temperature he keeps his heart at, just the way he likes it.

The beta is too smart for his own good, a private eye who lives for making enemies of powerful men. One wanted him dead badly enough to hire Peter to do the job, but he fell in love instead.

To protect his destined mate, Peter betrayed the man he once called brother and let John believe the unthinkable. Three years later, Lake Kristoff is out of prison on a technicality and Peter can no longer protect John by keeping him at a distance.

-

John earns a living catching cheating Alphas in the act, but it turned out the joke was on him when he found his own mate holed up in a hotel with an omega.

He never should have believed a word out of the Alpha’s mouth, but even the cruelest lie sounds sweet in that Moscow accent.

Three years later, John is still paying the price for trusting Peter with his heart. Now the Alpha is back, demanding that John trusts him with his life and telling him everything he knows about their past was a lie.

Author's note: Contains mature MM content, violence and other dark themes. HEA, no cliffhanger.

It's finally here! Leave a review and let me know what you think. :)

Nicholas wants nothing to do with omegas, and Avery has already signed a contract binding him to another Alpha. Fate has other plans for them both.

As the omega spokesman for the infamous Futurus Initiative, Avery is a controversial figure who’s used to being envied, occasionally despised and always the center of attention. His kidnapping at the hands of the twisted omega at the helm of the radical anti-Futurus group known as Epsilon shook his perfect world to the core, and his abnormally conventional parents no longer know what to do with him. In a last-ditch effort to save their son’s reputation—and his engagement to a prestigious politician—Avery's desperate family sends him to the small, quaint pack of Southbend for some much-needed rest and recovery.

When Avery arrives in Southbend, he finds the Meyer household anything but welcoming and he immediately clashes with the rakishly reluctant head of the household. Nicholas might be a brilliant lawyer with good looks and charm in abundance, but he makes no secret of the fact that Avery is persona non grata in his pack. How is Avery supposed to heal his own wounds when an Alpha who looks at every omega with disdain makes him question everything, including his participation in the breeding program he’s devoted his life to promoting?

~
Nicholas has it all on the surface—rising-star status as an attorney with his own practice, a sizable inheritance and the option of going home with any omega he chooses at the end of the night—but beneath the mask of his status, he hides a secret that makes him feel unworthy of the title of Alpha. Past abuse has left him with a deep-seated revulsion towards omegas, the very class of shifter he’s supposed to crave. He uses work and meaningless flings with other Alphas and betas to distract himself from the family life he doesn’t believe he deserves, but in the wake of his estranged father’s death, Nicholas is called home to take on a role he never wanted.

Forced to give up his high-profile career and take the reins of his family’s pack, Nicholas finds himself wholly unprepared to fill the shoes of the man he hated. Because fate isn’t cruel enough, the Spirits choose this moment to send him his destined mate—a charming yet infuriatingly stubborn omega he can never love or even claim. At least, that’s what he thinks until he realizes that the very traits that repel him from other omegas draw him to Avery in a way he finds as bewildering as it is intoxicating.

A stolen child, an omega who never gave up, and an Alpha who will stop at nothing to bring them together again…

Detective Dean Garza has almost everything an Alpha could ask for: a challenging career, a big, wonderful, wacky family and a comfortable place to come home to at the end of a long day. What he doesn’t have is the omega he always imagined he’d be able to share it all with at this point in his life.

When a troubled kid gets dropped off at the station on Thanksgiving eve with nowhere to go, taking him in for the holidays is a given. When the young Alpha makes it clear that all he wants for Christmas is a reunion with the birth parents he’s never given up hope of finding, Dean sets out on a mission to get him the closure he needs to move on with his new adoptive family. He never counted on getting so attached, much less imprinting on Gavin’s birth father. Dean tells himself that love and good intentions alone can’t make a single Alpha and an omega with a dark past a suitable family, but his heart has other ideas the moment he meets Max.

~
Max has spent 12 years searching tirelessly for the infant son who was taken from him by an Alpha who refuses to stay in the shadows of the past. The omega does what it takes to get by, even if that means selling pieces of himself another took long ago. He’s worked with an string of private investigators, but now that he’s met one who’s finally closing in on the truth of what happened to Max’s son, the omega knows something has to change if he’s going to be the father he always wanted to be.

When Detective Garza shows up unannounced, Max is sure he’s just another henchman from his ex sent to keep him quiet. Instead, the handsome Alpha proves to be a threat of a whole different kind.

This is a steamy holiday M/M MPREG romance meant to be read as a standalone, set in the same non-shifter omegaverse as the Undercover Alphas series. Get ready to unwrap some sizzling scenes, heartwarming moments and a guaranteed Happily Ever After. Approximately 43,000 words.

Zander was the type of Alpha who’d never shied away from the idea of forever.

It’s been six years, but Zander is finally starting to put the pieces of his life back together after his omega left him for his best friend the night before their mating ceremony. At least, that’s what he tells himself. In truth, the Alpha knows he’ll never be able to get over Darren, not the least of all because he imprinted.

He’s only shared this dark secret with one other person, and that doesn’t include Darren. He ran because he feared commitment, and Zander knows that if he ever enforced his claim, the omega would only be staying out of obligation. When Darren comes back into town to take shelter from his abusive ex, all Zander’s failed attempts to move on go out the window. Not only is Darren a far cry from the fearless, careless omega Zander fell hard for in his youth, but he has a son--a curly-haired kid who has his daddy’s eyes and tugs at the Alpha’s heartstrings despite surely being another man's by blood.

~

Darren is an omega with a lifetime of regrets. In fact, the one thing he’s never regretted since leaving the idyllic town of Sawyers and his soulmate at the altar is Bobby, the little ray of light that came out of his worst mistake. After throwing away his chance at happiness with Zander and becoming isolated from his friends and family to please his increasingly controlling significant other, Darren lives for his son. He looks past Greg’s abuse because he’s sure it’s the only way to give Bobby the family he deserves, but one night, the Alpha goes too far.

When Darren flees with his child to the one place he can think of, he knows there’s more distance between him and the life he left behind in Sawyers than the hundreds of miles between them. Zander rises to the occasion to protect the omega he still loves and his innocent son, and is willing to do whatever it takes to protect them both--but can an arrangement of convenience turn into a second chance Darren knows he doesn’t deserve?

~Approximately 53,000 words. While this is book 2 in the Great Plains Shifters Series, it can be read as a standalone.

Falling for his deceased twin brother’s mate was never part of Dustin’s plan.

This midwestern Alpha might be a little rough around the edges, but he lives by a few simple principles and honor is chief among them.

Nonetheless, when tragedy strikes the Meadowlands Pack, Dustin feels he has no choice but to bring his twin’s mate home to take care of him. The only problem is, Caleb isn’t anything like Dustin expected of the city omega who stole his brother’s heart and divided their family.

What starts out as trying to do the right thing soon becomes a blurry series of complicated decisions that lead Dustin further away from the path he’s always followed—and further into the arms of the one omega he was never supposed to want.

~

Caleb has been through the worst a mated omega could fear. He’s lost his mate and their unborn child, and now he finds himself at the mercy of an Alpha who has every reason to hate him.

Despite being twins, Dustin and Caleb’s former mate, Alec, are nothing alike. Caleb wants nothing more than to please his new Alpha and secure his position in the pack, but Dustin seems to take everything he says the wrong way.

As forbidden tensions mount between Alpha and omega, Caleb begins to fear that Dustin will start taking his developing interest the right way.

~ Approximately 38k words. This is the first book in the Great Plains Series, and it takes place in The Mountain Shifters universe. This steamy romance contains content for adult audiences only, including MPREG and other Alpha/omega themes. HEA, no cliffhanger.

Hi, Everyone!

So in the few moments I've taken to unwind after the release of Alpha, Beta, Omega, I thought I'd take a minute to give you some updates!

As you've probably noticed, while The Mountain Shifters series releases are unaffected, I've had some major life changes that have thrown off other release dates, re: Queer Magick and Undercover Alphas.

In August, my partner and I made a major move that was wonderful and unexpectedly soon and far more hectic and involved of a process than we could have imagined. XD; We're still wrapping up the logistics end of the move, but without getting into too much detail, he had a major family health crisis to deal with that resulted in us living between states half the time, and seriously threw off the release of Undercover Alphas Book 3.

I'd like to apologize to any readers who were waiting on the book, but I *promise* that it will be out by Oct. 1 (if not slightly earlier, depending on the whims of the publishing gods) and I sincerely hope it will be worth the wait! ;) The series will still wrap up this winter with Undercover Alphas Book 4: Reece.

Thank you so much for your patience, and for everyone who continues to read and review! It means more than you know! <3

Hi, All!

Just wanted to share with you the blurb, title and cover for "Alpha, Beta, Omega" (The Mountain Shifters Book 10.)





The title is a bit off convention for this series, as pretty much everything about these characters has been! I've been incredibly touched by the outpouring of emails and comments since the events in His Verum Alpha (some which understandably consisted of, "What the heck, Lucien?!") This was originally intended to be a series of standalone shifter romances with some side characters who interacted occasionally, and it's become more like a family. Like all families, one person's story has a way of bleeding into another's. Sometimes it's messy, sometimes it's beautiful and sometimes it's heartbreaking. To know that there are so many of you who feel as deeply connected with these characters as I do is humbling, surprising and really kind of what makes this whole writing thing worthwhile!

"Alpha, Beta, Omega" is a story that takes place after an ending; an HEA that was tragically interrupted, but I hope you'll come to feel while reading it what I felt during the writing process, which is that sometimes, what feels like the end of one story is just the beginning of another. In this story, all of the questions both these characters and those of you who've taken the journey with them have been asking will be answered and there will be closure. The next two books (there will be more in the series, but those are the only ones that have been written yet!) will follow the traditional format of a fully self-contained story with a new focus couple or triad. I do highly recommend having read Their Omega and His Verum Omega to get the full picture of this story.

Without further ado, I give you "Alpha, Beta, Omega" which will be released August 31st. :)

Blurb: It’s been four years since the tragedy that claimed the Mountain Ridge Alpha and Mel, the mutual mate of Alpha Hassan Amari and the beta Toval. As a mated Alpha-beta pair, Toval and Hassan have managed to defy the odds and come through tragedy stronger than ever, despite the shroud of secrecy that surrounds Mel’s death. Strange letters from an impossible sender throw the fragile balance of their healing into question.

Alphas are dying in Europe, and a group of omegas with a deadly mission has taken credit. They call themselves Epsilon, and they’re hell-bent on overthrowing the hierarchical system that has ruled the shifter world for as long as anyone can remember. Meanwhile, the success of the European Council breeding program, known colloquially as the Futurus Initiative, has increased pressure on stateside Alphas to conform in order to save their dwindling population. Hassan and Toval’s joint effort to fight the Initiative seems to have failed, but Epsilon has less peaceful methods in mind.

One letter changes everything. The leader of Epsilon chooses Hassan and Toval to deliver his ultimatum: Abandon the initiative, or every pack Alpha in the Council will die. Toval and Hassan find themselves the unwitting messengers of this twisted message, pitted against a corrupt Council and a ghost of the past who will stop at nothing to get what he wants. Time will tell if their love can withstand this dangerous new alliance.
