Chance Met
Jeremiah Crawford’s need for coffee leads to a chance meeting with Trey Damone and his son Mikey. Mikey’s psychic abilities are obvious to Crawford, who wants to help the child learn to manage his powers. And Trey’s need for someone to care about him and his son is even more obvious.
Trey Damone brought his son to Boston to escape Mikey’s mother’s family–a cult-like group who want to take Mikey away from Trey. Trusting his new neighbors wasn’t easy for Trey. Trusting the man he randomly meets in a donut shop will be harder, especially when Trey isn’t only keeping Mikey’s secrets anymore. He has a secret of his own now: a month ago, he was changed to a werewolf while trying to save his son. If Trey tells Crawford the truth about himself without his Alpha’s permission, the penalty could be death.
Crawford hates secrets, even though he’s keeping one of his own: His employer is a sorcerer. And while Crawford’s life isn’t at risk if he tells Trey the truth, he won’t betray his boss. He trusts Trey and wants to earn Trey and Mikey’s trust, but can he and Trey build a relationship based on the secrets they have to keep?

A Fighting Chance (Chance Met 2)
Trey Damone is falling in love with his partner Jeremiah Crawford. Hell, he might already be there. Crawford can’t picture his life without Trey and Trey’s young son Mikey, who reminds Crawford of his younger self. Both men are keeping secrets–and both agree that it’s time to reveal their true selves to their partner. Even if the revelations that Trey is a werewolf and Crawford’s boss is a sorcerer drive them apart.
As they navigate revealing themselves fully to each other, they learn that Mikey’s mother’s family, who have been trying to take Mikey away from Trey since his birth, have tracked them down. Trey will die if necessary to protect his son, and Jeremiah will do all he can to help. But even with help from a pack of werewolves and a reality-warping sorcerer, can Trey and Jeremiah keep Mikey safe?
This book includes references to past child abduction; past abuse; homophobia on the part of some secondary characters; abduction of an adult and threats of that adult’s death; and a sex scene between two men which, while consensual, involves one participant taking control of the other without prior negotiation.
Available on Amazon in Kindle and paperback.
