Forbes Mates: Book Two

Jamie Ryan was almost ready to accept he’d never find his destined mate. They’re uncommon to begin with, and same-sex versions are downright rare. Since his gay best friend found a destined mate, Jamie figured he was out of luck. Until end-of-semester stress forces him to go through the full-moon shift early. Stuck in wolf form, he runs into none other than his destined mate. Who’s human.

Chad Sutton has always had good instincts. They served him well as a detective and continued on when he went private. Those instincts tell him there’s something about the dog that comes up to him while running away from animal control that isn’t quite right. He works to put the pieces together, but is unsuccessful until his dog turns into a human before his eyes.

Jamie has no idea what the mate bite of a shifter will do to a human. He’s terrified to try—and possibly kill his mate. They hunt for answers while working together on one of Chad's cases. It’s easy to see they belong together, but Jamie fears the gods gave him someone he can’t keep.

In un battibaleno: l’amore non aspetta.

Patch Hastle è cresciuto in tutta fretta: scappato a gambe levate dal paesello del Texas orientale che gli ha dato i natali, s’è fatto una vita a New York come modello e DJ e non s’è mai voltato indietro. Anche quando i suoi vengono improvvisamente a mancare, il ragazzo torna a casa con l’intenzione di sbolognare la fattoria al primo magnate del petrolio che passa e far fagotto più veloce della luce. Peccato che il testamento metta le redini in mano al miglior amico di suo padre, nonché peggior nemico di Patch.

Tucker Biggs ha finito di andare a spasso per rodei: ha messo radici ed è diventato il guardiano-bracciante della fattoria degli Hastle. Sa bene che Patch lo detesta, ma quando il ragazzo ricompare in versione adulta, bello da impazzire, Tucker finisce per trasformare la rimpatriata in una bella lezione sull’esperienza e sui desideri.

È un bel gioco se dura poco, e sia Patch che Tucker sanno già che questo finirà in un battibaleno: appena venduta la fattoria se ne andranno ciascuno per la sua strada e tanti saluti. Purtroppo, però, a ogni secondo che passa le corde che legano il cittadino tutto in tiro e il bifolco dai jeans consunti si stringono sempre di più… E se non vogliono farsi disarcionare, dovranno entrambi capire cos’è che conta davvero, e dovranno farlo alla svelta.

Arcana Imperii

As the so-called magical creatures go, I’m low on the hierarchy, and my powers aren’t much good to human mages. I’m a lover, not a fighter, through and through. I’m also selfish, lazy, and easily bored. But I’m damned good at what I do.

Do one—granted, uncharacteristic—good deed, and now I’m held hostage to an arrogant faerie prince, trying to track down the one who summoned him while dodging gangbangers, gun runners, and Nazis. Add the powerful mage guilds scrambling to gather firepower for some doomsday event they’re sure is around the corner, and my cushy life of leisure might be nothing but a memory. On top of that, something’s compelling me to change on my most fundamental level. I’m not sure what I’ve got myself mixed up in, but nothing will ever be the same.

Bloody hell.

Featuring a new twist on urban fantasy combined with fast-paced action and intrigue, the Arcana Imperii series books are standalone adventures, each completely accessible to new readers.
