Genre: LGBTQ Urban Fantasy, M/M Paranormal Romance 




Can’t find love? Love will find you and poof into your life.


Greetings, Nozzag here, an Agent of P.O.O.F. and one of the dedicated caretakers for the Creator of Important Nexuses. It has been over a century since we last shared some of the success stories we helped initiate.

For the first time since the Uprising, we are thrilled to present a new collection of Twilight Temptations tales. Launching this series is a story I hold dear and one that almost didn’t come to fruition. Without further delay, I present to you Pako and David.

Pako – Orc, Fashion Model, Boy, and tired of being walked on—literally.

David – Elf, Human Social Worker, Daddy, and too overworked to be looking for love.

Pako represents what David needs to remember about slowing down, while David embodies what Pako must remember about self-love. However, without a gentle push from fate via the Creator of Important Nexuses, their paths may never cross.

P.O.O.F. Happens is the first in a new series set in the world of Bloodlines of Fate. These are instalove, high heat, low angst stories that will feature different kinds of creatures and a guaranteed HEA.

Twelve-year-old Pip must embrace his magical powers to rescue his family from slavery—or help the king save the realm—a decision that will tear his world apart.

Desperate to keep his family together, Pip hides his power so he can be sold with them. But when his father and brother are sold to different mages and the slavers attempt to separate his mother and sister, Pip loses control and injures a slaver with magic. The uproar catches the attention of the southern king’s druid advisor, Merlin, who quickly offers a place to Pip, his sister, and his mother. On the road to King Arthur’s court, bandits attack their camp, and his family is further torn apart. Pip has no choice but to work with Merlin—who may not be the evil mage Pip assumes him to be—to learn to harness his powers so he can help King Arthur stop Mordred. Only then might Pip have a chance to see his family together again.

A Special Message about Sister Molly Cleary

 

Sister Molly Cleary’s fearless journey to seek reproductive justice for women is a powerful testament to the ongoing struggle for women’s rights. In an era when Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion are under threat, women risk losing significant social and personal freedoms and opportunities. States are stripping away reproductive rights and issues uniquely important to women, including childcare subsidies, living wages, equal opportunity and affirmative action protections, healthcare access, and voting rights are all facing political assault. Fighting back is not optional – it is critical

Standing on the shoulders of women of previous eras who rose up to these challenges, Molly Cleary serves as a beacon of hope and resilience. Her story is a call to action for all women to step up, fight for justice and claim their power. These difficult, life-saving battles require unwavering commitment, dogged determination and fearless struggle, and won’t be fought for us – we have to fight, and win, them ourselves.

Dating Chaos

A Model MD Novel #3

by D.W. Brooks

Genre: Romantic Suspense, Contemporary Fiction



A first date with a detective and a family with secrets—what could go wrong?

Two weeks ago, Jamison almost died; it’s a complicated story. But the experience reminds her life is fleeting, and to keep living. So, she makes a date with Nick the Detective—a man who’s so hot she almost wants to cry. With her history of bad relationships and recent traumatic experiences, it’s understandable why members of her family are against her dating this new guy.

Jamison doesn’t know the half of what’s coming.

After a delicious date that ends with both fireworks and danger, Jamie knows she’ll get an earful for her choices from her mother, but she’s ready to defend herself. But she surprisingly doesn’t have to. Her mother has problems of her own when an unwanted acquaintance from a lifetime ago shows up like an unpleasant blast from the past.

This long-lost individual is about to bring old family secrets to the surface. To top things off, there’s a New Year’s Eve party that’ll have everyone in one place. Everyone. Her brother’s stalkerish ex and his current girlfriend, her sister who thinks Jamison shouldn’t be making any decisions right now, and her mother, who thinks she can’t tie her shoes without supervision. And Nick.

This promises to be an unforgettable party…

And a hell of a second date to usher in the New Year!
