« Je sais ce qu’on t’a fait, je te vengerai. »
Gabriel. Brisé. Solitaire. Balafré. Délirant ?
Abaddon. Seigneur des sauterelles. Maître de l’abîme. Ange de la destruction et de la vengeance… Mais est-il réel ?
À la suite d’un épisode psychotique survenu dans son enfance, Gabriel se retrouve brisé et incapable de s’intégrer à la société. Enfermé dans l’orphelinat où il a grandi, il est en proie à des cauchemars d’événements qui n’ont jamais eu lieu, des événements qui l’ont marqué, qui l’ont fait tressaillir et qui l’ont rendu douloureusement seul.
Jusqu’au jour où il décide, sur un coup de tête, de ne plus prendre ses médicaments.
Né d’un ventre froid dans le sol, Abaddon s’éveille au monde avec un seul objectif : détruire une secte qui commet des crimes blasphématoires en son nom. Ce à quoi il ne s’attend pas, c’est de rencontrer un garçon qui a survécu à l’un de leurs rituels.
C’est alors que Dieu révèle le véritable but d’Abaddon. Il doit protéger le garçon des vautours qui lui tournent autour et venger sa douleur. Il prendra Gabriel sous son aile et lui donnera tout l’amour et l’affection qu’il n’a jamais connus.
Alors qu’ils partent ensemble à la chasse aux monstres, Gabriel confie son corps et son âme à son bel ange gardien, mais il ne peut s’empêcher de se demander si Abaddon est réel ou s’il n’est qu’une création de son esprit en manque de contact.
Quoi qu’il en soit, la vengeance a commencé à trancher les cultistes avec sa faux, et il n’y a pas de retour en arrière possible, quelle que soit la profondeur du trou de lapin.

One surprise visit changes everything, and three men find out what it means to need.
Problems come in threes. That’s why Riley Sinclair has two rules in life: no relationships and no inviting anyone into his home. Then a woman claiming to be his biological sister waltzes into his life, he finds himself in the arms of one of his detectives, and his sister’s best friend decides to pay him a visit—a man who instantly gets under his skin and makes Riley want to do bad things to him. Three is a terrible number.
Gideon Clark is openly bisexual, recently divorced, and trying to figure out what his life looks like now and how to fit in time with his son. He doesn’t expect his new life to include his boss and another man who brings with him an intense complication.
Dawson Sheppard only wanted to confront the man who’d made his best friend cry—he definitely didn’t mean to sleep with him. He can’t tell his best friend what he’s doing behind her back, and he can’t make himself stop what he’s started with two men who turn him inside out. Now what is he supposed to do?
They can’t let go of each other, and secrets are slowly building. They’re breaking the rules, and they’re going to have to make choices about what matters most and what’s more important than need.
More than Need is an MMM romance that is set in the Chain Reaction universe but can be read as a standalone. It contains steamy situations, a newly divorced main character (not hostile), and on-page discussions of main-character adoption. There’s also plenty of banter, heat, and a swoony HEA.
Detective Quinn Hughes doesn’t have many regrets in life, but Sebastian Devlin is the biggest. As a cop and a defence lawyer, the deck was stacked against them to start with, but Quinn was the one who left a burning inferno behind him. Missing his chance with ex-Special Forces Commando Peyton Sinclair is a close second on his regrets list, but Quinn isn’t going to ruin the happiness Peyton has found with fellow police officer Will McMahon for anything—not even a chance at his own happiness.
Best friends Will McMahon and Peyton Sinclair have been hooking up for years, content with their arrangement and the comfort they get from it. When Sebastian—the hot lawyer they picked up at the club the night before—stumbles over a dead body in their kitchen on his way out, calling Quinn is instinctive for them. Years of unacknowledged tension between Peyton and Quinn is a sore point, but Peyton trusts that Quinn will figure out the mess they’ve landed in.
While Quinn tries to find answers, Peyton and Will quickly find themselves tangled in the tension between Quinn and Sebastian. They’re hoping Quinn can move fast—before one of them becomes the next dead body—but the situation becomes even more complicated when another explosive night proves that Peyton and Will aren’t done with either Quinn or Sebastian, just as much as the two aren’t done with each other.
Between the mind-blowing night Sebastian spent with Peyton and Will, and the fact that every time he turns around it’s either Quinn or the barrel of a gun waiting for him, Sebastian has never had more regrets. If he can survive long enough to get some answers, maybe the four of them together are going to be the catalyst for a future that’s more wildly different than anything they’d ever imagined.

Chain Reaction is an MMMMM steamy suspense series following the same five men. Catalyst begins with four men in a tangled web of friends to lovers and second chances. Reactant (book 2) adds a fifth man to their already complicated lives in a blast of sizzling attraction and heat. It contains adult situations, gun use, references to murder and drug usage, suspense themes and a character with PTSD.
Trust didn’t always go both ways, and Grady Donehue had learned that the hard way. He hadn’t learned better after the first betrayal, but he wasn’t going to make the same mistake a third time. Striking up a strange friendship with the equally strange–and straight–soldier, Lake, who had sunshine in his eyes? Grady could do that. He could even handle helping Lake figure out he might not be so straight after all, in a very hands-on way. But falling in love? No, thanks.
Lake McKenna has spent his whole life absolutely confident in who he is and what he wants. Even when the picture-perfect future he’d always envisioned seemed further away than ever, none of his plans had included another man. But the more time Lake spends with his new friend—grumpy and sneaky-sexy detective, Grady—the more he thinks that maybe what he really needs is something different than what he had always imagined.
Neither man was prepared for the other, but Lake is nothing if not flexible. Doubt isn’t part of his makeup. He knows how much more incredible they could be together if only Grady could see it too. But Grady has to decide if Lake is worth risking his heart again, and whether he’s brave enough to see if it really is third time lucky.
Third Time Lucky is a bi-awakening, friends-to-lovers MM romance with low angst and high feels. It is set in the Chain Reaction universe but can be read as a standalone.
