A Mage’s List for Freedom:

1. Escape his evil, controlling clan.
2. Get a job. 
3. Work magic on HIS terms.
4. Avoid all dragons.

Tori was doing great until sexy dragon Baldewin interfered.
Between the little gifts, constant protection, and the steadfast confidence from the overgrown lizard, Tori wonders if maybe that last step needs revising. He has no chance to consider it. 

Not before trouble called Jaeggi REALLY hits. Now he’s on the road trip from hell to the one place he’d never thought would be a safe haven. A clan of dragons. 
​
Assuming they make it, that is. 

​Cameron wants to make it clear that he did not go into the festival to find a dragon mate.
 
Germany is supposed to be an escape. With a new mechanical engineering degree, a new job looming, and a whole life planned out that isn’t his, Germany seems like the best place to find himself.
 
So how does he end up discovering his lost magic heritage, running from bad guys with a secret agenda, and being adopted by the not-so-extinct Fire Dragon clan?
 
Cameron blames tall, dark, and sexy Alric, king of the Fire dragons. His fated mate. Because of course he is, and mates are meant to take the blame, right?
 
It may take a hot second, but as Cameron learns more about the scarred Alric and the life he’s landed in, Cameron realizes that perhaps this is where he’s meant to be, magic and mates and kidnapping and all.
 
Turns out coming to Germany wasn’t an escape but his awakening.

As some of you are aware, I am co-authoring an urban fantasy series with Jocelynn Drake. It has all sorts of fun things in it. Dragon shifters, mages, castles, epic libraries, secret clans. You name it, we had fun writing it in. We're looking for a September 2020 release of book 1. Here's the blurb and don't forget to add it to your Goodreads TBR!

​Staying away is Kyou’s number one rule when it comes to protecting the sexy real-estate developer.
 
Kyou has a routine. A system. He guards Brannigan Genovese, hacks for his family of choice, and drinks far too much caffeine for any living being. Only a few things can completely disrupt his routine to cause him trouble:
 

• Brannigan buying up real estate from the Irish Mob
• Kyou’s band of brothers figuring out who Brannigan actually is
• Ivan
• Feelings for one Brannigan Genovese

 
Oddly enough, it’s the feelings that get Kyou in the most trouble. Because when Brannigan is in danger, Kyou ignores all his brain’s protestations and breaks every rule he has to save the man, including his number one.  
 
And damn the consequences.

Since when is playing Robin Hood part of the plan?
 
Pop into the unguarded apartment, find the multi-million dollar Treskilling stamp, pop back out. That’s it, that’s the entirety of Ivan’s plan.
 
What’s not part of the plan?
 

• Meeting the cute Aiden Stalworth
• Feeling guilty about trying to steal from the cute Aiden Stalworth
• Becoming Aiden’s “Robin Hood” and buying him all the things
• Playing bodyguard while searching for the stamp
• Being trusted completely by Aiden

 
Ivan very quickly realizes he needs a new plan:
 

• Seduce Aiden
• Protect him
• Find the stamp

 
Oh, and lick him. Licking Aiden needs to be part of the plan too. However, Ivan’s not sure how having his heart get stolen made it onto his list.

“Company policy forbids me from accepting power from customers in exchange for any product on the shelves, my blood, my soul, or my firstborn child…”
 
When Ross started working night shift at a lonely gas station in Salem, he expected quiet nights. Instead, he found himself face to face—quite literally—with the supernatural. But really, the whimpering vampire nursing a hangover wasn’t exactly threatening (although Ross is pretty sure he shouldn’t have given that energy drink to a goblin…).
As Ross proves he is not easily shaken, more and more creatures of the night come calling, including the clanmaster himself. Ross isn’t sure what to think about Glenn, but the handsome vampire has made it clear what he thinks of Ross—and with that attention comes an offer he’s not sure he wants.
At least, until a little fire sprite convinces him otherwise, because he’s definitely not paid enough for this.
