Rears & Vices

HE THOUGHT HE’D BE A HERO BY NOW—AND THAT IT WOULD MEAN SOMETHING.
It’s 1816. The wars with France and America are over. Royal Navy career man Everard Anderson de Anglada sails the peacetimes Great Lakes, demoted to captain of a tiny ten-gun schooner. When Preston D’Arcy, Everard’s former lieutenant and too-handsome ex-flame, forewarns him about a court-martial they must judge, Everard is begrudgingly grateful.

HE’S RADICAL, RESPECTED, UNFORGETTABLE—AND A PIRATE.
On the docket, however, is Vitaliy (Vitya) Gray, American. Everard has crossed paths with him before—not strictly as enemies. Vitya’s charges mean he’ll hang. With quick thinking and quite a lot of perjury, Everard delays the trial. It costs him—and D’Arcy—everything: for Vitya’s true identity is V. Varfolomey, infamous pirate fleet captain and anti-colonial weapons smuggler. At least three crowns want him dead.

TOGETHER, THEY COULD BE LEGENDARY…
Between hasty jailbreak, philosophical debates, and proposals (pirate marriage, no-strings), Everard finds himself, his heart, and even D’Arcy commandeered: to the Gulf of México. There, piracy is nothing like he imagined, and Vitya is everything Everard ever truly wished to be.

…SO LONG AS LEGEND DOESN’T GET IN THE WAY OF LOVE.
As Everard struggles to regain his purpose in his new husband’s shadow, he must also reconcile the irresistible pulls of D’Arcy’s insistent affection and Vitya’s undemanding steadfastness. Then, with the Spanish crown looming, dangerous secrets and betrayals come to light, and Everard is offered a position with the revolutionary Galveston navy. Everard must decide: fulfill at long last his desire for legacy… or stay beside the men with whom he’s fallen in love and make a legacy of their own.

Affairs & Assets

From the author of cult hit Rears & Vices comes an anticipated sequel featuring fan-favorite Preston D’Arcy!


Navyman, turncoat spy, and agent of chaos Preston D’Arcy once gave up everything in the name of love and piracy. Now he’s an enthusiastic third, caught between his former captain and the man’s infamous pirate of a husband, and the little voice that wonders if he’s truly achieved happily ever after is not a priority.

While on an errand for said husbands in Philadelphia, D’Arcy finds that not only is he pirate non grata, but his youngest sister Princey’s reputation is in ruins. Her only redemption lies in her new fiancé, American smuggler and villain Maxime Regnard… who is also D’Arcy’s estranged lover of years past. Such a marriage simply cannot happen, so with Princey’s assent, D’Arcy whisks her away from society and her betrothed.

When Maxime pursues, intending to steal her back, D’Arcy instead takes him hostage. And after sister-rescuing (part two) goes awry in unforeseen ways, and Maxime becomes an ally against unexpected foes, D’Arcy suspects things might not be quite as they seem. That Maxime might not be quite as villainous—or as over him—as D’Arcy thought.

But fiercely loyal D’Arcy “belongs” to two men already. If he and Maxime are to forge any kind of future, they must break down the barriers of jealousy and betrayal at long last and find understanding in each other.

A spicy, swashbuckling, polyamorous historical romance for fans of Emily Rath, TJ Alexander, and KJ Charles.

By Any Means

New York City, 1905.

Investigative journalist (and fierce anti-capitalist) Laurie Tulley is no stranger to the sins rich men commit in the name of profit. He’s made a front-page career out of unearthing the injustices of industry.

But when his editor turns his sights onto wealthy glass industrialist Charles "Chary" Wright, Laurie sees neither injustice nor sensationalism. All the openly queer and once-disowned Fifth Avenue businessman seems to have is a dead brother, a bizarre inheritance of a blueberry farm, and a lotta trauma.

Chary has his secrets, however: the big, life-ending kind. When Laurie comes snooping, he’s determined the reporter won’t find them out, no matter how handsome he is.

Then a worker from the glass factory is murdered. Chary himself is brutally attacked. As Laurie uncovers murder after past murder, he realizes there’s a story to be written after all… so long as he can keep a professional distance.

And when Chary finds himself in the arms of the very man meant to be his ruin, he must confront exactly how far he’ll go for love—and just which ghosts he’s willing to bring forth from the past.
