The Mistletoe Phenomenon: Magnus Carstens, an eminent glaciologist, recently had to change his life: he’s become his nephew Jakob’s guardian, has taken a new job as a park ranger, and moved them to Mistletoe, Wyoming. There he meets Lance Rivera, who is working in his sister’s store to make a living after his lover took off with all their money. When Lance and Magnum come together, literally under the mistletoe, both realize all they really want is a family to love.

The Solstice Mistletoe Effect: Lance and Magnus have a new life as a family with Jakob, but when they visit Magnus’s parents in Sweden, they are not happy. Magnus seems oblivious to the woman they think more suitable, but when an attractive job offer is added to the mix, Lance faces a crisis: What if Magnus chooses the new job and a life with Sigrid over the family he’s started with Lance and Jakob?

August 30, 2010

Eye of Scota: Cináed by Serena Yates is now available in paperback and eBook.

Worried that his planet is slipping into moral decay, the High Priest of Dálriata sends a healer priest to retrieve more magical Slànach Stones, the Council of Priests’ quickly dwindling source of power. Cináed MacAlpin agrees to undertake the quest despite his misgivings, hoping a successful mission will relieve the pressure upon him to heal only the “worthy.”

But finding the Stones is no simple task. Cináed must travel to the mystical Eye of Scota, a passageway through space that leads back to Earth, and the supposed source of the Stones. There he meets Tadeo Banderas, a spaceship captain marooned at the Eye. They discover that the spark of energy between them may hold the key to Dálriata’s future.

Does Cináed have the courage to bring home the truth that the power to save his world is found in forgotten laws and his bond with another man?

To Keep and to Love by Serena Yates

January 1, 2010

To Keep and to Love by Serena Yates is now available in paperback and eBook.

Ryan Johnston and Daniel Miller, reunited at Ryan’s twin sister’s wedding after four years of forced separation, are hoping to build a happy life together. Ryan wants nothing more than to be an equal partner to his lover, but his self-confidence is very low and his biggest fear is that he has nothing to contribute to their future. Daniel, thinking all is well now that Ryan has accepted his marriage proposal, is unprepared when their relationship is threatened.

Ryan’s homophobic parents plan to break up the couple, and they let nothing stand in their way as they attack Ryan, hoping to force him to end the engagement and leave town forever. It almost works—Ryan is ready to give in to protect his lover—but Daniel isn’t willing to let him go. Ryan can fight the outside forces trying to tear them apart, but only if he realizes what his fears of unworthiness are doing to the man he loves. Daniel and Ryan will have to stand together to protect their right to keep each other and their love.
