On Your Knees, Prospect
Summary
Jake is itching to become a patched member of the Kings of Hell MC. For two years he's toiled as the only prospect. So when a new guy swans in and thinks he'll get a patch in no time just because he's got friends in high places, Jake is there to stand in his way. Only that the guy is older, more experienced, drives a Harley, and has the kind of boots Jake craves to lick. But he won't. Because he only f--ks patches. Vars is ready to find a new home in the Kings of Hell MC after a messy relationship led him straight to hell. In comparison, the pretty, blue-eyed prospect could be just the pleasant rebound he needs. The boy is a brat, but that could be amended with a firm hand and a gag. If only Jake was ready to admit to his submissive needs, Vars would gladly take him under his wing. That is, until he finds out something inhuman resides inside of Jake. Vars didn't cheat death only to call out to it again. But stuck together in one room, keeping each other's secrets, they might just have to become allies, no matter how unwilling. Because if there is something Vars can't resist, it's a boy with pleading eyes. Contains mature themes.

His small pack is destitute due to the decisions of its ruling council, but being only an Alpha-heir, he has no authority to challenge them. Not until now - this moment he has waited a long time for. Kit grew up as a street-rat, an unlicensed human who would never be more than a slave for whichever master owns him. Then one day he came across a young Alpha-heir, attacked and dying of poison, and found out their fates were suddenly entwined. Luca needs to take over his pack and save his people. He cannot afford to be distracted. But when he meets Kit, he develops abilities indicating he is not just a pack Alpha, but the King his world has needed for a thousand years. Is Kit really the cause of Luca's newfound power, the true mate he needs? How is it possible when the young man isn't even a werewolf, and as merely a human, a mating is not only forbidden, but for Kit, a sentence of death?

Virtually Screwed
Summary
Blake At 43, I’m supposed to have everything figured out, and if you’d asked me six months ago, I’d have said I did: head of my own tech company, beautiful fiancée, amazing future all planned out...life was perfect. Or, at least, I thought it was.... So now, I’m in New York after selling my company and fleeing San Jose, and for the first time in as long as I can remember, I have nothing to fill my day - no meetings, no reports, no tests, no launch parties - and that’s how I manage to get hooked on Warpath 4 and, somehow, find myself sexting with a guy almost 20 years younger than me. Say what? Okay, here’s the thing: It didn’t start out dirty. It was all completely tame. Mild. Conversational. But then conversation turned to flirting, and flirting turned to dirty talk. And, well...let’s just say things escalated from there. But it’s just a bit of fun. Right? It’s not like anything would ever work in real life. I’m too old, he’s still closeted. And let’s not get started on how I’m supposedly straight. It’s just way too messy. Definitely best if we never actually meet each other... But what if we already have? Turns out my virtual f--k buddy is actually Owen Kelly, my best friend’s kid brother. Which leaves me pretty much screwed.... Warning: This book is not appropriate for anyone who doesn’t like laughing, anyone who doesn’t like the word daddy, or anyone who doesn’t like when hot older guys and gorgeous younger guys have a hella lot of super-steamy sex. Happily ever after included.
