Demon has been out a while, but I’m so bad about updating this blog. In fact, the fourth volume, Jinn, will be coming out really soon now. But Demon is definitely here!

You can get Demon here.

Demon Callan Ambrose wants a soulmate more than anything but is sure he’ll never find his. One of his brothers is mated and soulmates are rare, so the odds are against him. Then he takes a job protecting Lonnie Russell, a creative writing professor who is quirky, and sweet, and just…perfect. But someone is terrorizing Lonnie with threatening notes. 

Lonnie has always been able to see the preternaturals in the world and he’s always been fascinated with them. Especially demons. He even has an entire room dedicated to them. So he’s thrilled when his new bodyguard turns out to be one. Callan is big and gruff, his grumpy exterior a mask for someone who’s really a cuddle monster. And the gifts? He sure would like to know what that’s all about. 

What started out as vague threats quickly escalates and when they realize what they’re up against, Callan is determined to keep his newfound treasure safe. 

Demon is a long MM paranormal romance novella with a grumpy/sunshine pairing, traditional demon courting, and plenty of steam. It’s the third in the Mystic Guardians series, but can be read as a standalone.

I had so much fun writing Alaric and Ezra! Elf is #2 in my Mystic Guardians Series. You can get the book here. And in case you’re curious, here’s a little about it.

Alaric Denman is determined not to let himself care for another human, especially not one like Ezra Forsberg. Ezra is a rich playboy without ambition, someone he could never respect. Why he’s intensely attracted to the man is beyond his understanding—but he is. So much so, it’s affecting his job to protect him.

Ezra isn’t sure who’s trying to kill him, but he has a pretty good idea. After growing up in one crime family and being forced to marry into another, his guess is his ex. He hires a bodyguard and gets a sexy elf. Yeah, he can see past the elf’s glamour, despite Alaric’s attempt to hide those elegantly pointed ears. But Alaric irks him with his stoic nature and he can’t resist poking at him.

While they’re busy clashing, a two million dollar price goes out on Ezra’s head, which brings out powerful preternaturals. Someone really wants Ezra dead, so it’s time they work together to figure out who.

Elf is a MM paranormal romance long novella with a reluctant elf, a snippy-mouthed human, and a soulmate passion that takes them both by surprise. It’s the second in the Mystic Guardians series, but can be read as a stand alone.

The start of my new long novella series just released and I couldn’t be more excited! You can get it here.

Basilisk

As a basilisk, Bain Ophion has lived over two hundred years. For the last ten, he’s worked for his best friend, a sorcerer who runs Protective Solutions. Bain loves his work as a bodyguard and especially loves proving his skills when clients take one look at him and doubt. Yeah, he may dress flashy and have androgynous looks, but he also comes with preternatural strength. Humans don’t know that, though. Because, like all his fellow bodyguards, he uses a glamour to hide what doesn’t blend. Most humans aren’t ready to know about the supernatural world around them, but he’s about to learn that there are a few who are special.

Clive Manning has no idea which of his new clients is threatening his life, but when they send someone to break into his home, he knows he can’t handle this alone. He lives a perfectly ordered life and works from home for a reason. Lifelong fear. He calls Protective Solutions and hires a bodyguard, and when that man shows up, Clive is shocked. He expected something like a man in black and instead, he got a rockstar. 

But Clive is highly attracted to this colorful bodyguard and soon Bain proves he’s very good at his job…among other things.

Basilisk is a long novella with a sexy shapeshifter who’s stunned by his fierce attraction to an uptight accountant and the accountant who learns his lifetime of fear had good reason. 

Hi! I don’t often update this website because I find the block posting confusing and have a hell of a time getting images situated. So, I’m in the process of trying to figure out where to move this site. But I also have two other websites where you can read all about the pen names I use for my short novelette romances!

erinadkins.com and rixabarrett.com

The exciting news is my MM novelettes as Erin Adkins now is a complete series with Jarek going live today! Here’s a little about Jarek. Click on his name to go to Amazon. And here is the link to the entire series page. Luna Mates Series. Though these each can be read as a standalone, there are threads of a bigger plot that come together in Jarek’s novelette.

Looking for something quick and sexy? Luna Mates is a series of MM romance novelettes, so they’re short, fun, shifter reads with that in mind. 

Jarek

*Cajun alpha mate

*Wolf shifters

*Lush Louisiana setting

*Fated mates

Jarek loves the moody, gorgeous atmosphere of the Terrebonne Parish instantly. He’s traveled to Louisiana with his brother and several enforcers of their Genesis Pack to help out his brother’s friend—the alpha of the Terrebonne Pack. Genesis’s long time rivaling neighbor pack has come here to try and take something that doesn’t belong to them and Jarek and his friends are expecting violence. What he never expected was a mate.

Elias thinks the invading pack coming after them as not much more than a nuisance. He leads a big, powerful pack—they can handle them. But he’s eager to welcome his old friend, especially when that friend brings his brother, who just happens to be his mate. Jarek is a strong, stunning shifter. The absolutely perfect alpha mate. Now all Elias has to do is deal with the invading pack so he can spend some quality time getting to know his mate.

Jarek is a MM novelette, the conclusion to the Luna Mates series, and has an enforcer ready to knock some heads and a sexy, Cajun alpha who does love a little pushback.

Hi all! Long time no see. As you can guess, I took a little time off to mull over my career and what I wanted to write. I still plan to write MM novels. I do have an open series, after all. But you see, I’d started this very sexy reverse harem story years ago and it was pulling at me. I opened up the manuscript and the story just flew! The sequels are going the same way because I just love these succubus sisters.

So, Feed is here! You can get it HERE.

Here’s the blurb to tell you a little about it.

Naurel

Stay on the run.
Don’t let them catch you.

For three hundred years I wandered the planet, terrified that if I spent too much time in one place, I would be caught. By scientists who want to study a succubus’s extended life-force. Or, even worse, by a pack of incubi determined to feed from me until there’s nothing left. Eventually, though, exhaustion overwhelmed my fear, and I settled down to make a real life for myself, even if that meant keeping one eye out for danger. Finally, I could breathe. Until I found myself faced with my worst fear…

Baruch, Fintan, Samuel, and Keesan

Our love for each other is without end.
But our longing for her consumes us.

For centuries we’ve searched for our mate, for the woman who can complete our bond and fill our hearts. The woman we would kill for. Fight for. Die for. Finally, we’ve found her; we all felt the spark. With Naurel in our pack, we could achieve perfect balance. We’d have no need to feed from humans, or to kill. We would never again need anything but one another. Yet for reasons we don’t understand, Naurel is terrified of us. Gaining her trust won’t be easy. But she needs us as badly as we need her, and we will not give up.

FEED, the first book in the Blood Coterie series, is a paranormal reverse harem romance where the woman doesn’t have to choose and the men love each other, too. Be prepared for lots of sexy times among them all. Enjoy!

Hi! Long time no see!!! This is a post to let you know what I currently have going on. This website was down for a time, but I got it working again, so yay!

Right now, I have lots of books available, including several series I wrote with author, Jocelynn Drake. These are:

Unbreakable Bonds

Ward Security

The Weavers Circle

Pineapple Grove

You can learn all about these series here.

I took kind of a hiatus to get some personal life issues taken care of, but I’m back and will be releasing a new series very soon. The first book is off to edits and I’m so excited about these stories! They are a new genre for me. I still plan to write MM novels and will be continuing my Thick as Thieves series, but I was missing a feminine presence in my work, too, so I wanted to branch out a little. Another genre I love is reverse harem where they all love each other, so yes, the books feature MM content. Love is Love! I’ll have more information on this new series soon.

In the meantime, I also have two books out in My Thick as Thieves MM romance series. You can read more here.

There are more goodies, too. Just check out the different sections of this website.

It’s good to be back and I hope you continue to give my fictional worlds a chance. Thanks for hanging with me!

Sisters of Fate is live again! Years ago, I wrote these young adult MF paranormal romances for Harlequin Teen. I got my rights back and have put them back out myself. Also, first time in paperback! To read more about these books, visit my Sisters of Fate Trilogy page here. In summary, these are simultaneous stories about triplets fated to save the world and feature Norse mythology!

I know most of my readers are MM fans, so it’s probably a bit wild that I’m releasing my YA trilogy under my name, but it was originally published that way and all the reviews can still be found on Goodreads and they seem to be trickling back in on Amazon. (So far on Forecast and Foresworn.)

I hope you enjoy the adventure and romance! Links:

So excited! Jocelynn and I can’t wait for you to meet Hale and Harrison! This is the closing book to our Weavers Circle series. Will the Weavers save the world?

Hale Anderson

The Air Weaver.

He was the freaking Air Weaver. Not exactly what he expected when he got kidnapped by the pestilents, but Hale’s good rolling with the punches.

He can take a little time away from his pursuit of a doctorate in astrophysics to save the world.

Except that the final spell is poised to kill all the Weavers and their last hope lies with him finding his soul mate.

Hale doesn’t want a soul mate. He just wants Harrison.

Harrison William Davenport III

As the Keeper of the Heart of the Earth, Harrison must bring the final key to the Weavers if they’re to stop the pestilents.

He’s trained for this task his entire life. And he’s prepared to die just like his father did with the last generation of the Weavers.

But what if saving the world isn’t enough anymore?

What if the only thing that matters is saving Hale?

Storm Warrior is the final book in The Weavers Circle series. It includes fast-paced action, a dangerous cross-country roadtrip, dirty fun in tents, flying, bi-awakening sexy times, animal shenanigans, nerdy talk about the stars, jealousy, three crazy old ladies, magic, and a fight to save the world!

I got the rights back from Harlequin Teen on my Sisters of Fate trilogy and I’m so excited! I’ve been working with Kelley at Sleepy Fox Studio on new covers and I’m planning to release the books in January 2022. But here is a sneak peek at the first cover. They will finally be available in print, too! I love this trilogy and hope you give it a chance.
