Winning the Woodsman
I’m a sheltered duke's son who’s barely been kissed. He’s a grumpy woodsman who’s determined to teach me.
I’ll do anything to avoid marrying the man my parents have chosen for me. Even flee into the dangerous forest beyond the city limits. Soon I’m caught in a hunter’s trap and panicking, especially when a muscular, dark-eyed woodsman appears carrying a musket. Just when I’ve given up on life, he cuts me loose and carries me to his cottage to tend my wounds. And then he lets me stay. And stay.
The woodsman is grumpy and secretive, with weary sadness in his eyes. But he’s kind, too. When a blizzard descends, snowing us in together, I’m drawn to him. But what would a rugged outdoorsman want with a spoiled and inexperienced nobleman like me? I’ve never been in a man’s arms before. Yet I keep wondering what it would be like to kiss him. Especially when he calls me city boy. When he starts calling me good boy, I know I’m in trouble.
Winning the Woodsman is a low angst, feel-good MM fantasy romance novella set in a gaslamp fantasy world. With first times, grumpy/sunshine, forced proximity, a match-making dog, and cozy winter vibes.

Haunted by the Highwayman
Watching Rick crawl for the masked stranger is the perfect Treat this Halloween.
Rick is athletic, outgoing, confident. He might be my roommate, but romantically he's way out of my league. And teasing me is his favorite thing in the world. I can’t let him beat me, not even when he dares me to wear a pink diamante-studded collar. When he challenges me to attend a Halloween masked ball at a haunted castle, I have to step up.
At the party, one guest keeps staring at us. He’s dressed as a highwayman: dramatic black cloak, dark mask, blue eyes glinting like ice, the works. He invites us both upstairs for a private party. He’s commanding enough to do what I can’t: put Rick in his place. But even as the highwayman takes control, he isn’t touching us at all. Are we sharing our fantasies with a ghost? The otherworldly experience brings Rick and me closer than ever before. Halloween might be the perfect time to confess that I want more from him than just games of dare.
Friends with benefits to more, best friend's little brother, jock/nerd, and a hot, ghostly highwayman to command them both in this Halloween MMM short story (~15k words).
