Iron Mayflies
In a future where immortality is available only to the wealthy, the only path to eternity for the working class is indentured servitude. Yet when immigrants are bonded into debt the moment they land on America's shores, will they even reach the infinite before their short mortal lives snuff out?
(Not a romance, even if that's my usual fare, but there's a minor M/F romantic subplot.)
Sometimes It Storms
Previously part of the IPPY Award-winning WINTER RAIN (Love in the Rain 2) charity anthology. All Ethan Randall has ever known is solitude. Solitude is safer. Solitude is something he can't ruin with the painful, unclean memories sleeping under his skin--memories that make him reject human contact, memories that turn every attempt to love into nothing but pain. Yet when he meets Aurelie—a woman who understands pain, her own scars rooted deep—her love may be the brilliance he needs to illuminate the dark inside him. The balm he needs on old wounds. And a much-needed lesson on how to live, even when old wounds won't heal: how to survive a love like storms without drowning, and how to find his voice beneath the thunder of his demons' roar.
Zero Day Exploit
Some mistakes are meant to be made twice.
Zero day exploit (noun): 1. An attack that penetrates a previously unknown vulnerability in a computer or system. 2. The kind of infuriating, manipulative man who gets under your skin and refuses to get out. And now, a one-night stand may turn out to be the biggest mistake of Zoraya Blackwell’s career.

Shattered by the Afghanistan War, left with no companions other than fellow survivor Gabriel Hart, ex-Marine Priest turns to his lost faith for answers when his life has lost all meaning…but in searching for his God, he finds a new religion. A religion of blood. Of pain—and of vengeance.
The Fallen: A Crow City Prequel Novella

Bloodsport

Until an unknown newcomer knocks him out in one hit, and shatters his record.

(This is pure PWP I wrote off the cuff, unconnected to any of my other stories. Stepbrothers, but newly met as adults and never raised together as brothers.)
PINUPS: Red
Five lawyers in lingerie. One LGBTQIA charity photo shoot. What could go wrong? When an office memo goes around the law firm of Stockton, Stockton & Wells asking who's just a little naughty, law clerk Red Jacobson isn't sure if his stone-cold boss Corbin Stockton is testing their response to actionable behavior--or has been taken over by a pod person. What he finds, though, is neither as he discovers, beneath Corbin's impenetrable facade, a man committed to and passionate about fighting toxic masculinity in the queer community. Yet when a simple pinup photo shoot turns charged with latent attraction and breathless sensuality, Red will discover Corbin's passionate about more than that.

Shy looks. Sweet curiosity. Slow smiles and softly ventured interest, until a snowed-in night and a strange situation open the door for more. For whispered names. For mutual understanding. For a longing as sweet as curls of thickly swirled icing, melting on the tongue and making each man crave the other’s luscious taste.
