***This story is Manxman and it is rated R for sexual content! If you are bothered by that then please do not read. I will not tolerate any ignoramous comments about how wrong it is. You have been warned so simply back away slowly or turn and run like hell but do not message me in disgust or complaint if you choose to read and see something you don't want to! **** Will is running from more than just the man who held him prisoner, he is running from the memories, the pain, the knowledge of what he's been made to do and the way he's been used. Running away at night seemed the logical choice until he found himself running straight into a blizzard and realized that he'd die of cold out there alone--but at least he would die free. Turner has all he wants in his sanctuary up in the mountains. His horse, his mule and his trust coonhound, Beaux, are the only company he desires. Three years he'd been alone and tried telling himself that he was content but all that changes the day he finds a dying man in a snow bank. Neither of these men were looking for love but what better way to make fate laugh than to talk about your own plans... and there's just something that happens, some magic in the air, when it's Christmas time, you're fighting attractions and you find yourself snowed in.

{Valleyside Pack} Aaron was found by a small pack, abandoned and alone when just a pup. The Beta family took him in and raised him as their own when they couldn't have a pup of their own. He was loved and cherished, happy and spoiled. His twin wasn't. Cody was found by a group of rogues hours after the pack arrived. He was found hidden a couple feet from his brother. The pack hadn't thought there were two pups and with the smoke clear in the air and the roaring fire, he wasn't scented or heard. Cody was left forgotten. He grew up mistreated and tortured, abused and sold. When Cody escapes his brutal life, he finds himself trespassing on a pack far east. What he didn't know was the fact that the twin brother he never knew existed lived in that same pack. With rogues on his tail, and a brother that asks too much, Cody didn't believe his life would turn into a battle for freedom. And when he happens to find his mate, he knows everything he now has will be ripped from him. After all, he IS property and the brand above his heart reminds him of that. (This is not Twincest, okay?)

[Can be a stand alone!][Book 2] {Valleyside Pack} Milo Morgan is an only son, the only heir to his pack. He's expected to earn his title rather than inherit it and he's supposed to have an heir within months of mating. Of course, not everything goes as easy as he expected. For one, his mate is a male, Will. Second, he can't even get within an inch of his mate without having him try to bite his fingers off. Thirdly, he won't be able to produce an heir- not with his mate and he isn't particularly fond of having another carry his kid. Lastly, he isn't even sure his mate would ever bottom for him. Milo wasn't a bottom- fuck no. Not to mention that his mate was fucking sold. Now he has to figure out a way to stop whoever wants his mate and help him trust him. To top it all off, an Alpha acting submissive for his mate just looks wrong for others, weak. So with his mate hating his presence, the Alpha after his mate, and the humiliation of the other Alphas, Milo doesn't even know where to start. He does know something, though. He knows that even though his mate is broken, he can help pick up all those little fragments that make him trust once again. And in the process change himself, too. How hard could it be to admit he was a bottom? (You don't have to read the first book, but that one is Cody's story- it gives a little background of Will.)

This is a human x naga romance novel, so its not for everyone. There are inhuman aspects to the body of one of the characters (obviously) but they fall in love and get sexy anyway. You've been warned. Nash is retired. After seven years of fighting in a war on behalf of an empire that wasn't his home, he was granted citizenship and retirement. He can live in style the rest of his days... but Nash isn't interested in living in style. Instead, he claims a secluded cabin that was built in an ancient, unsettled forest. He wants to start fresh, and forget the things he did during the war. But the townsfolk in the nearby village are whispering about monsters in the woods. They warn him that he'll die if he stays out there. And there is something out there. Something big. But Chass, the monster, is the one who is in for a surprise. Nash's people don't believe in monsters. They believe in gods. What will this monster do when the human he's decided to kill worships him? It's frustrating, and totally not what he planned! Why is the warrior making little wooden shrines to him? Why does the human bow and say he's alright with Chass taking his life? This annoying human who is a competent warrior, a strong and independent man with soft hair and soft skin, who says Chass can do whatever he wants...wait... wait.... this just might work out. TW: sexual content, explicit content and language, violence, fantasy death, hunting animals/prey Kinks: praise kink (literally, Chass really likes that Nash thinks he's a god), size difference, monster dick, a little interesting bondage and immobilization, lots of "say I'm your prince" and "you're mine" and possessive behavior, yay!
