Hi everyone! I still haven’t had time to rebuild my website but hopefully once I’m done writing I can do that. I’m trying to get the last bit of Herds and Hooves finished so there isn’t an update for The Do Over. I miss them already. I really love their story and can’t wait to get back to it.
This week the first Foggy Basin books were released. I am SO excited for this year. I know I keep saying that but it really has been a good one. I’m going to do a special section to share them each week so you won’t miss any. We’re already planning next season, and of course there will be the holiday shorts.
I’m off to my parents again tomorrow for what we all hope is the last time we need to go for a while. There is still furniture and other crap to haul off but by tomorrow the house should FINALLY be clean. It’s been nearly every weekend since March and I cannot believe it’s taken this long. We’ve managed to sell a few things and hoping to sell a bit more. Some things we have no clue what they even are. The amount of Tupperware was craaaazy but like I said it’s nearly done!
This week I managed to watch the first new Ted Lasso episode. This is such a good series and just what I need right now. My son made me watch Backrooms last week and I don’t remember if I mentioned it, but it wasn’t for me. Too much unexplained, and so many spots in the story where nothing happened. I’m catching up with the new season of Silo and hope we get more answers from it.
Now for the good stuff!

Jack Hulbert has worked at the hardware store Nuts and Bolts since he was sixteen. He had big dreams of leaving town and traveling, but five years later, not much has changed, and he worries he’ll end up living the rest of his life in the small town he was born in.
Hudson Carter has been working in Sacramento for the past ten years, managing a big box store. He left Foggy Basin for college in the city and he never once looked back. His parents have owned the hardware store in town for two generations, and he’d hoped to avoid the same fate, but when his father tells him his plans to either sell the store or close it, he has a change of heart.
Hudson has been single for years, and a few bad breakups have left him jaded about finding the perfect partner. But he’s not prepared for the cute, and much younger man who knows far more than he does about running the hardware store and isn’t afraid to tell him. It’s time for this city boy to embrace his country roots and find out what really matters in his life, and a certain country boy is more than willing to help. #age gap, #city/country, #workplace romance, #small town romance

The cold isn’t the only killer in the wilderness.
Benjamin Coulton is a tracker employed by the Consortium, the ruling counsel of vampires. When he’s sent to investigate a rogue vampire killing indiscriminately in a remote region of Alaska. Bad weather hampers his effort and he loses the vampire he’s been tasked to find.
Leon Davis and his friend Trevor agreed to be winter caretakers for several cabins and a fishing lodge, thinking it would be easy money. They settle into their daily routine of checking the cabins for animal break-ins, or broken water pipes, and prepare for a long winter.
Until a run in with a vampire changes everything.
Ben finds a newly turned vampire left for dead by the rogue vampire, and suddenly Ben’s mission changes course. In the freezing wilderness of Alaska, he uncovers more truths and the mate he’d always longed for… and now the vampire he was tasked to find is hunting them. #MMParanormalRomance#vampire#fatedmate#thriller

Herds and Hooves
Foggy Basin Season Three
https://books2read.com/HerdsandHooves
Keith Brooks has lived in Foggy Basin for all of his thirty-eight years and cannot imagine any reason to change that. He’s made a life for himself here trimming cattle hooves and occasionally working as a farrier when one of the nearby horse ranches needs it.
Bart Martin grew up in a suburb of Sacramento. Where conveniences are nearby, and he’s content with his life if not a little lonely and bored. Until he receives a call from his uncle, who lives in a tiny town in northern California that’s barely big enough to be on the map.
Bart is out of his element when he arrives at Foggy Basin during a Pride parade, and after getting lost. Lucky for him, Keith offers to help. He’s not sure he should trust the gruff man with arms the size of tree trunks, but he’s desperate. It’s a small decision that could change both their lives and force this city boy to learn to enjoy a life that he’s never considered.
Welcome to Foggy Basin. Nestled at the base of the foothills in northern California, this small town is full of characters just waiting to tell you their story. Whether you’re just passing through or you decide to stay a while longer, you’ll always find a warm welcome from the townsfolk. From farmers and animal rescues to artists and small business owners. Foggy Basin has it all.

Opposites attract on the farm in this small town MM Romantic Comedy!
Hayes — As a small town fruit farmer, I’ve always denied my attraction to men, until one stopped on my doorstep and invited himself inside. When he left the same day after rocking the foundation of my world, I didn’t think I’d ever see the gorgeous stranger again…
Kai — Being a social media influencer means making my way through life on a whim and a smile. An unexpected trip back to Foggy Basin for a job has me scrambling for the attention of a certain cowboy.
When Kai shows back up six months after their one-farm stand, Hayes can’t deny the hookup they had, or his attraction to the flashy younger man. Kai needs Hayes’ help again, and the two grow closer on the farm.
Fruit and Flash is part of the Foggy Basin multi-author collaboration and each book can be read as a standalone.

Avery
One night with a handsome ex-bodyguard was all it took. Five months later, and I’m still burning for him. Moving to a small town to chase my dream of becoming a designer was supposed to be strictly professional, but the moment I lock eyes with Gideon again, my career isn’t the only thing constantly on my mind. He’s incredibly sweet, fiercely protective, and dedicated to his work, but can I convince him that what we have is the real deal?
Gideon
A gorgeous, passionate fashion designer and a quiet beekeeper don’t belong together. We’re complete opposites. I’m thirty-eight and ready to settle down. Meanwhile, Avery is living life and chasing his dream. He’s meant for bright runway lights, not to be tangled in my sheets. But when a cruel critic threatens his future, my protective instincts take over. I promised myself I wouldn’t catch feelings for him. Unfortunately, I think I’m already too late.

Ethan Evans has spent his whole life doing what everyone else wants; working the ranch, pretending he’s straight, and trying not to drown under the weight of his parents’ expectations. After failing out of college and getting kicked into the barn like an unwanted stray, he’s stuck under the watchful eye of the new ranch boss… a man he can’t stop noticing.
🏳️🌈 ⋰🐎⋱🧡⋰☀️⋱🏳️🌈⋰♥️⋱📗⋰☀️⋱💜⋰🐎⋱🏳️🌈
Carter Higgins shows up at Willow Creek Ranch looking like he stepped out of a modern Western—rugged, calm, and carrying the quiet authority that makes people straighten up without being asked. He’s got a past he doesn’t talk about and a family he’d rather forget. What he does have is discipline, a degree in Agricultural Business, and a talent for reading people like open books.
Ethan’s trouble. Carter sees it instantly. But he also sees the fear, the longing, and the spark Ethan tries so hard to hide. Carter knows that look—he’s worn it himself.
As the two of them clash, circle, and collide in the dusty heat of Foggy Basin, lines blur fast. Ethan wants freedom. Carter wants peace. Neither expects to want the other.

Nathan leaves behind his life in a small town in Pennsylvania to move to London for a man he’s never seen. After months of chatting online with the mysterious Charles, who promises the world, Nathan agrees to be the man’s sub with the hope his life will change. So, the big problem is Nathan’s a virgin and has zero real-life relationship experience.
When Nathan arrives in London, Charles is nowhere in sight, only a limo driver with mysterious instructions. He drives Nathan to a hotel where he stays overnight, then delivers him to the address of Lawrence, the handsome man, who he sat next to on the plane to London.
Both of them have told so many lies and half-truths. When all the dark lies threaten to come between them, is it too late for Charles and Nathan to come clean with each other?

** New Release ***Working as a bouncer at his family’s strip club allows Phoenix to keep the dancers safe, even if that means he’s the one who winds up scarred. Fierce, protective, he’s a pup more used to being a handler and seeing to everyone else’s needs but his own.
Enter Parker and Aspen. Older. Sophisticated. Nurturing. Falling for them wouldn’t have been in his five-year plan, if he had one, but now that they’re a part of his life, hanging on to them is all Phoenix can think about.
Whether it’s nights spent at a drag show together or afternoons sprawled across them on the couch, lazily drinking all the milk they produce, Phoenix can’t get enough. But will the differences between them create a gap to big to bridge, or will the clever pup find a way to have everything he’s never dared to dream of?
Their Pup to Tame is the third book in The Lactin Brotherhood series written by Layla Dorine about men who naturally lactate and the guys who need them. In this standalone, you’ll get a sweet and sexy story that brings together at least one loving Daddy and an adorable Pup.
