Harbor

 

Harbor
by Hollis Shiloh

After his breakup, Tim goes to a campground in a beach town to work on his latest screenplay. Writer's block seems to disappear magically, now that he's single again. It's a relief to be writing.

While there, he meets John Harbor, a handsome fellow writer on his own mission to get some work done. John is nothing like a cynical as Tim. Or as confident. But he's very appealing...

Rather than swap stories about writing, Tim and John decide to have a fling. Nothing serious, just a pleasant break from work when they can both spare the time.

John is skittish, busy, and wary of relationships. But Tim, who thought he was burned out on relationships altogether, is falling hard. He got over his ex easily enough—at least that he'll admit—but how is he ever going to get over John?

You and Me

 


You and Me

by Hollis Shiloh


Jack and Lucas work together and enjoy making each other laugh. It's weird to Jack to only find a best friend now, when he's technically a grownup. He isn't sure it's mutual. And he's pretty sure he has a crush on Lucas.

Now Lucas is in trouble and doesn't have anywhere to stay. Jack finally convinces him to move in, but Lucas insists it's just till he's on his feet.

As his stay becomes longer and their lives weave together, Jack has to decide if he's ever going to say anything about how he feels, or if he just needs to get over this. But his crush doesn't seem to be fading...

I've Got You



I've Got You
by Hollis Shiloh



Newly divorced (and laid off), Charlie Wise is ready for change. He's finally ready to face the fact that he's gay. But he's also almost forty, and putting himself out there with guys is really scary. He's thinking of throwing himself into his new career instead.

That is, until he meets Daniel Braith. What's supposed to be an interview becomes something more. This fascinating man, who builds tiny cabins with his bare hands, lives in the forest, and can sing like an angel, also happens to be gay. And possibly the perfect person to introduce Charlie to what he's been missing out on all these years.

That is, as long as neither one of them ends up risking his heart...

Brian's Mate - for sale wide

 Brian's Mate didn't do that well in KU.  Lesson learned!  Now it's for sale elsewhere:

Amazon 

Apple

Kobo

B&N

Scribd

Payhip

Not yet for sale on Google Play.  Google Play is giving me a bit of an issue with republishing books that were previously with Dreamspinner Press, unfortunately.  But we'll get there.

I don't know how fast I'll be about getting out the rest of the ex-DSP stories.  Brian's Mate still has the DSP audiobook for sale.  I don't think I get royalties from it still, but who knows?  Anyway it's my one and only audiobook (now and probably into the future), so I like having it out there for people who like that sort of thing.  

(For some reason it's hard for me to listen to fiction in audio format, but more power to those who enjoy.)

Mill House (shifters & partners #25)


Mill House
by Hollis Shiloh
shifters & partners #25

Andy has had a rough life. As the lovechild of a wolf shifter and a big cat shifter, things were never destined to be easy. A mate mix-up and his time in prison didn't exactly help, either. But he's getting back on track now. He's in a program to help troubled shifters re-integrate into society.

Mill House becomes the first real home Andy's ever had. When he has to leave, it's not easy. If there's a way back, he wants to take it. Even if that means working with Isaac Knowles. Isaac is far too attractive for his peace of mind. Andy certainly knows better than to fall for another man ever again. When you're wrong once about a mate, there's no second chance...right?

A Wizard's Shelter


A Wizard's Shelter
by Hollis Shiloh

Elliot's magic is broken—and so is he. The trip to the lighthouse isn't a vacation. It's a place where he can't do much harm, while he waits to find out what his punishment will be. Oh, it's not his fault his magic is broken—nobody knows what happened or why. But he's dangerous now, too dangerous, perhaps, to be allowed to live. In his state of shock, the sea and his sister are good company.

And so is Rue, the handsome young man he meets there. Rue is sweet and strong and kind, and isn't afraid of him. Being around Rue calms Elliot's magic in unexpected ways. He's not sure why he's so drawn to Rue, or what it might mean about his sexuality, but the friendship between them is a lifeline in a turbulent sea.

Rue has some mysteries, too—specifically, his heritage. He's a selkie, and selkies mate for life, if at all. Loving Elliot would be a huge risk for him, but he can't let Elliot go, either.

Whatever the truth of Elliot's magic, and the risk for Rue, the two of them are better together. If they'll be allowed to stay together.

Brian's Mate in KU



(2nd edition - no significant changes)

Brian is the alpha of the least impressive pack of wolves at the whole Moon Ceremony. When a non-shifter is discovered uninvited in their midst, Brian bonds with the man to save his life.

Luke has some misgivings, but Brian's tenderness is just what he needs—and not what he expected from a "werewolf." He's starting to develop feelings for the gentle wolf shifter who rescued him.

Both Brian and Luke expect to quietly dissolve the bond later. But some bonds are not so easy to cast aside. If they want to actually build a life together, it will take love, dedication, and hard work. Especially with all the new wolves who keep inviting themselves into their family.

I have my older stories back from Dreamspinner Press.  I'm planning to republish them one at a time, into KU, as well as send them to Patrons.  I don't know if this will work well or not -- if they don't do well, I'll take them out and put them wide.  I might change plans.

Of Bread and Boyfriends


Of Bread and Boyfriends
by Hollis Shiloh

Jacob is a wolf shifter and a country boy, the alpha of a hardscrabble pack barely making ends meet.  He loves his home and family dearly, but times are tough.  It's a lot of responsibility to carry.  

The newcomer to town, a handsome, shy bear shifter, has caught his attention in a big way.  Jacob has no problem with being gay.  He just wishes he could get Henry to talk to him for more than a couple of seconds at a time.  And maybe marry him tomorrow.  Henry's annoyingly hot friend keeps getting in the way, though...

Henry is a sweet, gentle baker who has problems of his own.  He isn't sure he'll ever be ready to commit to a mate, but he's definitely drawn to Jacob.  He daydreams about him, bakes for him, looks forward to his every visit...but wolves don't do casual, and Henry can barely make plans past next week, much less for his whole future.

Fox shifter Atticus, Henry's dearest friend, has complicated feelings of his own.  He loves Henry devotedly, even if his feelings will never be returned.  This new, prickling tension between him and the wolf shifter is no fun.  Does he have to keep feeling things for guys who will never be interested?  Besides, he plans to stay single for life.

Can Jacob, Henry, and Atticus each figure out what they want out of life—and what, if anything, they'll be to each other?
