“This is one of the most clever, entertaining, and hilarious books I’ve ever read.” -Joe Siple, bestselling author of The Five Wishes of Mr. Murray McBrideSome genres were never meant to cross.Joe Slade is a detective with a hot lead and a warm gun.

And will Joe still come out on top when all the rules have changed?”This book has everything you could want – swords and sorcery, noir detectives, space opera and let’s not forget zombies! It is a wonderful romp you have to read to believe.” (Amazon Reviewer)”I went into this book expecting something like Jasper Fforde’s books, and while there is some similarity in the premises, this was totally unique in the execution. And even though it seems like an adventure based on following the rules of story structure and using various tropes of fiction would be predictable, I was never able to guess where this one was going next.” (Amazon Reviewer)

These five hot steamy stories feature powerful dragons, who were exiled by their clan because they were reckless and wild and how they break all rules to meet and protect their mates.
NATALIE and JUDE will be the first ones you’ll meet…
I used to be a brother, son, protector. Now, I’m a shadow. Exiled from my clan of dragon-shifters, I drift among the humans without purpose or belonging. My inner dragon snaps and snarls as it struggles to adapt, but like me, it has no choice—this is our life now.
The only human either of us can tolerate is Natalie, owner of the Buck’s Head Lodge. Her quiet strength and distracting beauty remind me of the fierce women I grew up with. But they were my trusted friends, lovers, and equals. As a human, Natalie can never know who I truly am.
Trouble is brewing, but I can’t afford to get involved. I’m a shadow, not a hero—even if my secrecy ends up costing Natalie her life.
Hiding in exile, I’m forced to conceal my supernatural powers from the humans at all costs. When my inner-dragon roars in frustration, the only thing that calms the beast is the soft laughter of the local innkeeper, Natalie. I trust the girl more than I should, but I can never risk revealing my true, monstrous, identity. Until evil comes knocking, and I’m forced to choose between a sacred oath, or an innocent young woman’s life.
This boxset includes the following books:
Book 1: Secrets of My Dragon Protector
Book 2: Trusting My Dragon Hero
Book 3: Revenge of My Dragon Savior

A new demonic threat to our world forces me to team up with my worst enemies… Three dangerous, seductive vampires.
Since losing my mother to a vampire attack, I’ve hunted their kind without mercy. Now I’m trapped in an unholy alliance with three of them on a mission we can’t refuse.
The team leader is none other than Hudson, who broke my heart and disappeared without explanation a decade ago. Now I know why: My first love turned into the type of beast I’ve sworn to hunt.
His twin brother Jackson is equally infuriating with his charming smiles. He doesn’t act like the predator I know he is, which means he’s an even bigger threat.
Then there’s Nico, all sculpted muscle and towering stature, whose hungry gaze follows my every move, sending unwelcome heat through my veins.
We’re a band of misfits expected to fail, pawns in someone else’s game. As we fight side by side, our magic entwines with unexpected harmony, contradicting everything I was taught about their kind.
When allies turn traitor and my sworn enemies become something far more tempting, one question remains:
Will I bind myself to the very vampires I once swore to destroy?
