The sea-foam cavalry’s beauty is only surpassed by its cruelty.

Imeline and Quinn have grown up together, bonding over their shared love of watching the sea-foam cavalry pass in the night on its way to defend the roads outside their town. After years of flirting and teasing, the two finally sneak down to the beach to see the cavalry arrive upon the shore.

But when the sea-foam cavalry thunders out of the ocean, its protective nature devolves into something more sinister. Imeline is left to wonder if her love has been misplaced because now neither her life nor Quinn’s will ever be the same and their budding romance seems a hopeless endeavor.

This collection also includes the short stories My Sister’s Shoes, Under the Black Stars, But Flesh Among the Storm, Bed of Starlight and Every Wine-Flavored Exhale.

Curtain Chasers Book Two
gay paranormal mystery romance

Forthcoming June 15, 2015

When Clay Devlin receives a call from his lover, Jacob Hunt, he hopes for a tryst that might rekindle their fading relationship. Instead, he gets hired.

Jacob wants Clay to help a young boy who is bound to a curtain in much the same way Clay had recently been. Only, this curtain is home to another entity as well, one far more dangerous.

As Clay hunts for a way to save the boy, he finds himself rediscovering the easy companionship and heightened passion he’d shared with Jacob. Just this time with the constant reminder that Jacob might be planning on leaving him behind once the case is closed.

But when the situation turns deadly, Clay must choose between giving up the freedom he’d fought so hard to gain or losing Jacob completely. And time is slipping away with every agonizing step forward.

Warning: This novella features a lost grave, hidden heartache and takes place where death and violence breed powerful beings and not everything is as it seems.

Chapter One

The call came while Clay was stepping out of the shower. He let it go to voicemail, thinking it was Donnie seeing if Clay still planned on stopping by the pub tonight. In fact, he’d dressed, ran the slightest bit of gel through his hair, pretending not to notice the couple that had gone gray near his ears, and was searching through the fridge for leftovers when he remembered.

And he only remembered because his phone rang again.

This time he picked it up to answer, his heart giving a one-two thump out of rhythm when he saw who it was. Continue reading →

Heat of the Moment - High ResolutionHEAT OF THE MOMENT
M/F Short Story 7500 words
Amazon

This is a republication of a story originally published here on my site. There is no change to the story except that it is no longer available for free.

In the steaming jungle…

When a handsome, muscular werecat enters her territory, Trek is tempted to just chase him away. He is young, after all, and her heat is almost upon her. The last thing she needs is a tomcat too inexperienced to satisfy the demanding heat cycle of a mature queen.

But Reach is a werecat on a mission. He’s determined to prove himself a virile partner, earn Trek’s respect and maybe, if he can truly impress her, gain a litter and become a tomcat she seeks out for future heats.

This is an erotic short story of about 7500 words.

Alley (Curtain Chasers Book One) Excerpt

I’d like to announce that the first in a novella trilogy I’ve written is on pre-order. It will come out on May 15th, 2015. All three novellas feature the same M/M couple and are set in a fantasy/contemporary world. Could also be classified as paranormal. I’ll add the missing links as they become available. First chapter is below :)

ALLEY
Curtain Chasers Book One
28k words

Amazon | iBooks | Kobo
Nook | Scribd | Inktera

For three years, Clay Devlin has been stuck in an alley, hanging suspended between worlds. He yearns to be free. Even if that means facing consequences from a mistake he made before someone caged his soul on the wrong side of a newly opened curtain.

So when Jacob Hunt wanders down Clay’s alley, desire overwhelms good sense. Not just the desire to be free, but the desire for some normalcy and the touch of another man against his skin once more. But Jacob is a hotspot hunter with a famous blog, thousands of fans and a one-track mind. His attention could easily be motivated by manipulation rather than true attraction and his promises as empty as the alley Clay calls home.

Being free might be worth the risk of trusting Jacob. But if he’s wrong, and Jacob Hunt is just another selfish curtain chaser, Clay will find himself stuck on the wrong side of that curtain. Forever.

Warning: This novella involves alley hookups, wasted whiskey and a trip into the otherworld.

Chapter One

He could always tell the writers. They walked with glazed expressions, annoyance flickering across their faces whenever someone dared interrupt their reverie with small talk. Especially if said small talk was about the weather. They were the ones who looked down the alley with a mix of wonder and fear in their eyes, as if the story written in the stained brick and cracked pavement spoke to them. Continue reading →

SIREN SONG has been published. A 40k word novella; gay fantasy romance.

Amazon

Small excerpts can be found here.

Is it only the facade of desire driving him back?

The Nest of the northern sirens is a jagged island filled with the bones of their victims and the egg sacs of their young. Strands of their hair decorate the rocks while scales gather in the tide pools and human skulls clack in the wind.

No one goes there willingly. No one leaves there alive.

With his father wasting away to disease, Rikel risks the seductive songs of the sirens, hoping he can fool them long enough to survive. Like every other man and woman before him, he is enthralled, powerless and full of lust for the siren who sings for him.

Yet, the siren–Caarafk–doesn’t seem like the others after he makes a choice that leaves Rikel both confused and song sick. Need burns in his veins and desire simmers through his nerves, making temptation stick like barnacles to his mind and body. As Rikel’s resistance to the siren’s thrall weakens, tragedy strikes, leading Rikel straight into Caarafk’s arms in a song-sick haze, unsure whether or not he’s making a deadly mistake.

Warning: This novella features a siren who hates his voice, magically induced dubious consent and a whole lot of man on man water action.

Small Excerpts can be found here.

He’s spent his life in the water, never wanting to fly. Until now.

Landon’s life is simple, predictable and filled with plenty of waves to ride and bare-chested men to bring home. He doesn’t want complicated any more than he wants his neighbors stealing his stash. But when a strange man beats him to his apartment door one sunny afternoon, he discovers that sharks are not the only predators lurking beneath the ocean waves.

Along with that disturbing discovery, Landon finds himself a target for a dangerous dark phoenix named Jak, whose attention forces Landon to reevaluate whether complicated might not be so bad. Yet, every time things begin to heat up between them, Jak’s confusing disappearances make Landon want to forget ever having met the phoenix. And when Jak’s true intentions are finally revealed, the violent fallout threatens to tear them apart permanently.

Warning: This novella features beach muscles, an arrogant shape shifter and plenty of man on man action.

I am excited to announce that my first novel will soon be published by Loose Id. Written for their Homecoming call, Shatter By Glass is a fantasy/mystery/romance with a M/M couple. An excerpt will be coming soon.

Shatter by Glass Cover Loose Id Novel Erotica Romance Emmi Lawrence

Shatter By Glass cover designed by April Martinez

Shatter By Glass

Coming Sept 30th, 2014

When Detective Brettoni Rhodes is assigned to investigate a murder that occurred in the desert outside his city, he doesn’t anticipate the victim to be a man straight out of his past. Nor is he at all prepared to find clues that the murderer could be an old lover he hasn’t seen for twelve years. An old lover who, once they reconnect, isn’t interested in staying an ex.

With Luca Baino going from old lover to new lover all over again, Brett struggles with whether they’re on the path to something real. And if it they are, what then? Because in the desert city of DaSunder, death is the punishment for murder and Luca’s conjuring abilities have put him at the top of a very short list of suspects.

In order to save the man he loves, Brett would have to go against the laws he’s sworn to uphold. But with evidence stacking up against Luca and conjured creatures appearing in the city, Brett doesn’t know if he can protect Luca… Or whether he should even try.
