Bert Cooper’s life used to be great, until his sister turned out to be a traitor. Now Bert feels the whole pack looks on him with doubt and suspicion. To prove his loyalty, he volunteers to be the first ambassador at Fey Court, gathering information to finally solve the Leader Murders and punish those plotting against the Council and community. At least, that was the plan….

When Bert meets Sir William Matthew Sims, Court Interrogator, and one hell of a sexy man, life becomes a balancing act. And when the Fey King is assassinated, things become really messy.

Pack politics, fey politics, treason, suspicions of treason…. Bert has to choose between being ruled by his fears or standing up for what—and who—he believes in. And it might just break his heart.

The End is coming….

Many years ago, I wanted to write. I enjoyed crafting stories, making the characters do the dance. I found it liberating and fulfilling. And then stuff happened, and the magic that I found vanished in a puff of angsty teenage smoke.

Decades passed, and with the exception of two porn stories (don’t ask, I won’t tell), I never wrote another thing. Until I had a dream. Two young men–Taylor and Jackson–and a story that grew between them. When I wrote it down, a few people–Eden Winters and Anne Tenino–told me I should try to make an actual story out of it. So I did. It became the first story I ever sent out. While I was waiting for Harmony Ink to get back to me to let me know if they would publish it or not, I found a call from MLR Press for stories relating to music in the 80s. My first song was already taken. Then I found 500 Miles by the Proclaimers, and the story laid itself at my feet. I decided I’d give it a try. And it was accepted! It became my first contract, which was shortly followed by a contract for Pitch.

Disgraced former FBI agent Tim Burkhart desperately wants to reclaim his life and find happiness. Relocating his fledgling private security company to Miami—where his ex-wife moved their two daughters—hopefully is a start. When he’s hired to provide protection for an antiques dealer on his way to Scotland to sell a priceless ancient dirk, Tim believes the break he’s been waiting for has finally arrived. Maybe now he can make enough money to hire a lawyer and get shared parenting of his little girls.

Elliot James runs the antique shop he inherited after his grandfather’s death. Lonely and swimming in debt, he longs for a way to turn his life around but keeps making one mistake after another. Then he finds the ancient dirk tucked away among junk as he’s cleaning out his grandfather’s home. Placing it up for sale, he is thrilled when an out of country buyer purchases the priceless antique. The buyer wants the dirk immediately and sends Tim to ensure Elliot safely delivers it on time.

The moment Tim and Elliot meet, however, everything falls apart. Between break-ins, shoot-outs, stalkers, totaled cars, and the cops, it seems Tim and Elliot will never get to Scotland by the deadline. Despite all the obstacles, an unexpected attraction pulls them together, offering each man a glimmer of hope. But if they don’t deliver the dirk on time, they won’t get paid and neither of them will be able to pick up the pieces of their lives.

Will they complete this job and find a happily ever after, or is all of this really too good to be true?
