Warner Park Collection #1: Warner Park

Lights, secrets, and second chances. A slow burn MM romance set in the heart of Los Angeles.

Andrew

Starting over in Los Angeles wasn’t supposed to be easy, but I didn’t expect it to feel this lonely either. I left everything behind in Alaska to build something real—a yoga studio, a fresh start, maybe even a version of myself I can finally like. Then I meet Vincent Vickers. He’s charming, quick-witted, and hiding more than he lets on. I tell myself it’s just a job, just a temporary connection. But the longer I’m around him, the harder it is to remember what I’m running from. Or why I ever thought I could keep my heart out of it.

Vince

I know how to play the part. Smile for the cameras, hit my marks, pretend everything’s fine. But when Andrew walks into my life, quiet and sincere and nothing like the chaos I’m used to, the script starts to fall apart. He sees through the performance, straight into the parts of me I’ve kept off-screen. And for the first time, I start to wonder if real love could be more than just another scene in my life.

Warner Park Collection #2: The Bad Idea

Sharp banter. Slow burn tension. A frenemies-to-lovers MM romance novella with heart and heat.

Eli

Aubrey drives me insane. He talks too loud, laughs too hard, and somehow manages to get under my skin every damn time. I tell myself it’s because he’s obnoxious—because he’s the last person I’d ever want to spend time with. But then he lets me show up for movie nights, sitting too close, tossing popcorn at my face, and suddenly the silence between us starts feeling heavier than the noise. I should know better. I probably do. But every time he smiles, it stops mattering.

Aubrey

Eli’s impossible. Broody, stubborn, and allergic to admitting he cares about anyone. I swore I’d never fall for someone like him, and yet here I am watching horror movies just to make him laugh, picking fights just to keep him talking. Somewhere between all the snark and late nights, something shifted. Now I’m stuck wondering if we’re still pretending to hate each other, or if his bad idea might actually be the best thing that’s ever happened to me.

Warner Park Collection #3: Snow for the Holidays

Snow, chaos, and coming home. A cozy MM holiday romance about an established love that survives the storm.

Aubrey

I just wanted one snow day. One lie about being sick, one drive out of L.A. before I cracked. But my boyfriend, Eli, shows up—because of course he does. Always determined to save me from myself. Between one snow-day mishap and the next, we stop pretending we’re fine. Maybe loving someone forever isn’t about running off together. Maybe it’s about finally staying put.

Eli

He lies, skips work, and vanishes into the snow-covered mountains. My boyfriend, the drama queen. I should’ve stayed at the shop with Mike, but instead I follow him into a storm. Loving him means learning to stop fixing and start feeling, to let the mess exist and still call it ours.

The Road to Us Collection #3: Run with the Devil

A stolen life. A forbidden romance. An age-gap MM love story where desire becomes the most dangerous risk of all.

Tommy

I didn’t mean to end up here—scraping by, following in my deadbeat dad's footsteps, chasing a version of myself that doesn’t feel real anymore. Then Adrian Ashford showed up, all control and calm danger, and suddenly I couldn’t tell if I was being saved or swallowed whole. He offers me work, a purpose, a way out of the trailer park. But every time he looks at me like that, I forget what I’m running from.

Adrian

I built my life on discipline, on following rules that keep everything in order. But Tommy tests every one of them. He’s reckless, defiant, and too damn alive for the world I live in. The more I try to keep him at a distance, the more I find myself breaking the one rule the boss gave me: don’t touch him.

The Road to Us Collection #4: The Night's Bloom

A flower that only blooms for the broken-hearted. A sapphic romance full of mystery, grief, and autumn nights.

Lorena

Grief has followed me like a second heartbeat—steady, constant, impossible to quiet. When a strange crimson flower appears on my doorstep, blooming out of season and said to seek out the broken-hearted, I can’t look away. It feels like a message, or maybe a warning. Then I meet Marisol, the florist who tends to flowers that bloom where pain once lived, and suddenly my carefully built walls start to crumble. Maybe the flower isn’t a curse at all. Maybe it’s a beginning.

Where the Desert Glows (1).jpg

The Road to Us Collection #5: Where the Desert Glows

A raw, intimate MM romance set beneath wide desert skies, Where the Desert Glows is a story about loneliness, quiet devotion, and choosing each other when the world keeps asking you to disappear.

Skye

I’m good at taking up space. I stay loud, keep moving. Working at a veterinary clinic keeps me busy enough to avoid stillness. Stillness is dangerous, and the quiet lets things catch up to me. Then a favor for my brother pulls me into the Mojave with his fellow mechanic and my good friend Darren, a quiet former Army medic who sees straight through my nerves.
 

We’re supposed to pick up custom-requested paint from a desert artist and head home. Instead, we stumble onto a sketchy shipment falsely tied to Phoenix Cycles, no cell signal, and a situation that spirals fast. No matter what the desert throws at us, Darren doesn’t try to fix me or tell me I’m wrong. He just stays, solid and steady. Falling for him means stopping long enough to believe I'm not actually broken, and that realization might be the scariest thing of all.

โ€‹

Darren

I’ve spent my life holding broken things together. My love life. My professional life. Bodies. Motorcycles. Other people’s pain. I trust what’s solid, what can be carried, what can be endured without complaint. Skye has been my good friend for a while now. Too nervous, too brazenly honest, too easy to care about if I let myself think about him too long. I’ve always told myself it was safer to keep a little distance between us. That's when a routine trip into the Mojave goes wrong.


The desert strips everything down to survival, and suddenly the things I’ve been avoiding matter less than the man standing beside me.

  • Desert survival

  • A suspensful subplot

  • Broken souls healing one another
