<p>After finding Troy naked and locked in a secret room of their new home, Theo and Jun must work to acclimate to their new life together. They help Troy adjust to being a free man again, and Troy even finds himself enjoying the dominant role on occasion. Much to his surprise, Theo craves to submit to both he and Jun.</p>
<p>But a surprise visit from two men that Theo only barely remembers turns their whole world upside down. Jun knows what they&#8217;re here for, and it kindles a rage inside him that he hasn&#8217;t felt for a very long time. He is determined to keep his lovers safe, even if it means going against a promise he made to Theo.</p>

<p>I&#8217;ve got a couple more hot reads to share with you. This one is 100% on my TBR, and I can&#8217;t wait to have time to start it!</p>
<p>Chief Inspector Hayashi Teruo is short-tempered, impatient and a perfectionist. When another one of his partners resigns, Teruo is assigned a new one transferred from Hiroshima. But this comes with a condition: if his partner bails on Teruo before the end of the month, he risks demotion.</p>
<p>Miyazaki Shinji wants to forget the problems of his past, focus on his new position at Tōkyō MPD and work with the department’s best homicide detective. As a supernatural, Shinji speaks with ghosts of murder victims, gaining insight into the cases and solving them faster.</p>
<p>Before they get a chance to become acquainted, Teruo and Shinji are thrown into a new murder case. The body of a young man is found, killed with a weapon bearing a strange resemblance to a dog’s collar. As more victims are discovered, they need to dig deeper and find the connection between them.<br />
While working on the case, Teruo and Shinji are caught into an irresistible attraction. But being partners on duty and lovers in bed isn’t easy. As Teruo slowly unravels Shinji’s secrets, he questions his partner’s integrity, while Shinji is caught in endless lies threatening his relationship with Teruo as lovers and coworkers.</p>

<p>These stories feature age play. All characters are adults over the age of 18 and are in consensual relationships.</p>
<p>Cheswick Ludwig Fontaine IV was tired. Groomed to be a successful business from birth, he&#8217;d studied and worked hard his entire life. He&#8217;d even turned the millions left him by both sets of grandparents into his first billion while still in college.Unable to face the pressure of being urged to make even more money, he simply walked out of a meeting.</p>
<p>Richard Neville knows a Little when he sees one. Cheswick might not know it yet, but he was made to be Richard&#8217;s Little. When circumstances brings Cheswick to Richard, he quickly offers him a deal- be his Little for three months and take a much needed break from all the stress and worry or go back to his daily grind.</p>
<p>Cheswick is intrigued. He&#8217;d never gotten to actually play before or do any of the things his classmates did when not in school. Besides, he really could use the break. His management team could handle things and if anything too serious came up, they could get in contact through Richard. It was a win/win, if more than a bit unconventional. But the real question was, once he becomes Little Ches, can he ever go back to being Cheswick?</p>
<p>(Blurb is from book 1)</p>
<p>This omnibus (boxset) includes A Daddy for the Billionaire, A Baby for Jacob, A Daddy for Shay, and A Brother for Andy.</p>

<span style="font-size: 16px;"><br />
I have a girlfriend now! A friend who I&#8217;ve been spending lots of time with lately and who shares a lot of the same interests (and disabilities) asked me out and I said yes. She&#8217;s my first girlfriend and I&#8217;m all fluttery and excited and I just want to be around her all the time and it&#8217;s so hard to have to work instead of just snuggling and watching TV together LOL. I am feeling 100% how my characters in my stories feel &#8211; butterflies and blushing and everything whenever we&#8217;re together haha. She&#8217;s just so sweet and supportive and I could literally gush about here all day if you let me!<br />

I will do something special to celebrate, but I haven&#8217;t decided what yet. Let me know if you have any ideas!</div>

<p>Ryders, check this out~! This month&#8217;s sale is 100% my jam, and if you&#8217;re on my mailing list then there&#8217;s a good chance that it&#8217;s yours too. Seriously, my &#8216;to be read&#8217; list grew so much with this one. It&#8217;s hard to find time to read when I&#8217;m trying to write all the time, but I usually get in a chapter or 2 before bed anyway. Which is good, because there are at least like 10 books on this list that I&#8217;m adding to my TBR anyway LOL. Most of them are available on Kindle Unlimited, so check them out. I&#8217;d love to hear what you think!</p>

<p><strong>It&#8217;s quite a shock when Theo inherits his weird uncle&#8217;s mansion after the man dies unexpectedly. Sure, Uncle Harold cared for Theo, babysitting him when his parents couldn’t find anyone else to do it, but Theo doesn’t have many clear memories of that part of his childhood.</strong></p>
<p>Regardless, he and his boyfriend, Jun, decide to move into the enormous house. But when Theo starts hearing odd noises coming from the study after a few months, he starts to think that the place is haunted.</p>
<p>The truth is much worse.<br />
In a small hidden room, Theo finds a naked man behind bars…</p>

</strong><strong>Worse: That choir director just happens to be an incubus in disguise.</strong><strong><br />
For as long as he’s been an adult, Father Nikolas has been a priest. He went from high school to seminary school and then found a flock to lead in a small suburb of London. He’s never needed or wanted anything else, really. But when he finds his eyes lingering on the choir director long after everyone else has left, Niko begins to question everything.<br />
</strong><strong>Leviathan was cast out from Heaven and he chose to become an incubus, pursuing the pleasures of mankind instead of their torment. He sees Father Nikolas as just another meal, someone to play with, seduce, nourish himself with, and leave. But all that changes when he finds himself growing feelings for the priest.<br />

<p><span style="font-size: 20px;">Just like the promo above, Bookfunnel tracks how many clicks I send to this url and gives me a &#8216;score&#8217; that other promoters can see and decide whether or not they want to work with me based on that, so please click it and check it out for me &lt;3</span></p>

<p><span style="font-size: 20px;">Here&#8217;s a quick synopsis: </span></p>
<p>Luke Anderson has decided that relationships are not his thing after finding his boyfriend engaging in a sex act with another man on New Year’s Eve. Since then, he only allows sexual gratification from trivial gay bar hook-ups with no strings attached. Even kissing is out of the equation. Now that he has graduated from Arizona State University and is starting a new job in a Tempe, Arizona high-tech company, he’s open to fresh starts.</p>
<p>Jax Meyer’s intense fascination with Luke started when they had class together. His attraction to men has always confused him and kept him in sometimes toxic relationships with women. His current relationship is no different. When he realizes that he’s now working with Luke, he decides to test the waters.</p>
<p>Jax has Luke’s full attention from the moment they see each other in the lobby on their first day at work. The attraction is palpable. When Jax dominates Luke’s time with flirtatious comments and suggestive touching, Luke questions Jax’s motives, especially since he has a girlfriend. Jax makes his intentions known and dives headfirst into being the perfect boyfriend for Luke. But Jax’s girlfriend’s refusal to sever their ties tests Luke’s faith in Jax and could destroy everything.</p>

<p><span style="font-size: 20px;"><span class="eo-link-wrapper" style="color: #000000;">So I&#8217;m pretty open about the fact that I have ADHD. I&#8217;ve been trying different medications and different strengths of those medications for a year or two now, with varying results. But, guess what? The US is having a shortage on almost <em>all</em> types of ADHD medication!  </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 20px;"><span class="eo-link-wrapper" style="color: #000000;">I honestly can&#8217;t express to you how annoying this is. If you&#8217;re going through it too, know that I feel for you with the deepest empathy that I have. I&#8217;m unable to sleep (stimulants sometimes make ADHD folks tired), I can&#8217;t concentrate on literally <em>anything </em>(which is why Discovery still doesn&#8217;t have a firm release date) and I just can&#8217;t for the life of me remember <em>anything</em>. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 20px;"><span class="eo-link-wrapper" style="color: #000000;">I feel like there was a point to this, but guess what? I&#8217;ve already forgotten it.

Dalton is one of the highest professionals on the totem pole, known for his precision and planning, who works for the top crime family in the area. Harris, on the other hand, is a brutal yet efficient freelancer who various mafia outfits have been known to contract. The two assassins&#8217; paths cross on occasion and they enjoy a friendly rivalry, with Dalton teasing Harris for not &#8216;settling down&#8217; to work with a single mafia family and Harris thinking that Dalton is the more stuck up and limited of the two due to the mafia&#8217;s rules which he must follow to a T.<br />
But one day, unbeknownst to each other, they both receive peculiar assignments &#8211; to kill the other assassin. Dalton&#8217;s comes from his mafia boss, whereas Harris&#8217; is from a strange anonymous (but wealthy) client. The two men chase each other around the city attempting to complete their jobs, each using his own skill set to the best of his ability.<br />
But when Harris corners Dalton in his home, it&#8217;s not fighting that he has on his mind&#8230;</strong></strong></div>

</strong><strong>Worse: That choir director just happens to be an incubus in disguise.</strong><strong><br />
For as long as he’s been an adult, Father Nikolas has been a priest. He went from high school to seminary school and then found a flock to lead in a small suburb of London. He’s never needed or wanted anything else, really. But when he finds his eyes lingering on the choir director long after everyone else has left, Niko begins to question everything.<br />
</strong><strong>Leviathan was cast out from Heaven and he chose to become an incubus, pursuing the pleasures of mankind instead of their torment. He sees Father Nikolas as just another meal, someone to play with, seduce, nourish himself with, and leave. But all that changes when he finds himself growing feelings for the priest.<br />

I thought opposites attract and that going to church and being everything I am not would be enough.

<div class="text-block"><span style="font-size: 20px;">So I told my mailing list last week, but I&#8217;ve decided to re-release Discovery, pretty much completely rewriting it. I&#8217;ve got the draft all done, which means I&#8217;m ready for beta readers and will soon be looking for folks who want to read advance copies to review for me! If you&#8217;re interested in either of those, leave a reply or use the <strong><a href="https://ryderocox.com/contact/">contact page</a></strong> to let me know!</span></div>

<div class="text-block">
<p><span style="font-size: 20px;">I wasn&#8217;t sure what to put here, so I asked a friend and they suggested answering a couple questions from the app NGL each week. Why not, right? One my friend suggested was &#8216;most embarrassing moment&#8217; and whooooo boy, do I have some of those LOL!</span></p>
<p>So I was in 3rd grade, I think, and there was an assembly where we all went to the gymnasium and saw a magician perform on stage. At the time I wasn&#8217;t sure what I wanted to do, but it was probably a tie between &#8216;dig up dino bones&#8217; and &#8216;be a magician,&#8217; so you can imagine how stoked I was!</p>
<p>Unfortunately, we were not allowed to leave the assembly for any reason. And I mean <em>any</em> reason. So when I asked to use the bathroom first, I was told to wait until after the assembly &#8211; it wouldn&#8217;t be that long.</p>
<p>And then, the best thing ever happened &#8211; I got chosen to be the magician&#8217;s assistant! I got up on stage, vibrating with excitement&#8230;.and peed my pants in front of the whole school. I immediately ran off stage and to the bathroom, and I will never forget the embarrassment I felt in that moment.</p>
<p><span style="font-size: 20px;">I got another question the following week from a fan so I figured I&#8217;d answer it here too. If you want to send me a question to answer, feel free to hit reply to this email, or if you want to send an anonymous question, you can use my NGL link &#8211; <strong><span class="eo-link-wrapper" style="color: #2969b0;"><a dir="ltr" style="color: inherit;" href="https://ngl.link/authorryderocox" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://ngl.link/authorryderocox</a></span></strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 20px;"><span class="eo-link-wrapper" style="color: #000000;"><strong>Now for the question &#8211; biggest red flags in a partner? </strong>Honestly, I feel like I have horrible radar when it comes to red flags, but my cats not liking them is a big sign. My nesting partner is a great judge of character, and if he doesn&#8217;t like someone then they probably won&#8217;t be a good fit. Not saying I go along with whatever he says, quite the contrary, but all the time I&#8217;ve ignored his advice, he&#8217;s been right lol. </span></span><span style="font-size: 20px;"><br />

The two assassins&#8217; paths cross on occasion and they enjoy a friendly rivalry, with Dalton teasing Harris for not &#8216;settling down&#8217; to work with a single mafia family and Harris thinking that Dalton is the more stuck up and limited of the two due to the mafia&#8217;s rules which he must follow to a T.<br />
But one day, unbeknownst to each other, they both receive peculiar assignments &#8211; to kill the other assassin.

</strong><strong>Worse: That choir director just happens to be an incubus in disguise.</strong><strong><br />
For as long as he’s been an adult, Father Nikolas has been a priest. He went from high school to seminary school and then found a flock to lead in a small suburb of London. He’s never needed or wanted anything else, really. But when he finds his eyes lingering on the choir director long after everyone else has left, Niko begins to question everything.<br />
</strong><strong>Leviathan was cast out from Heaven and he chose to become an incubus, pursuing the pleasures of mankind instead of their torment. He sees Father Nikolas as just another meal, someone to play with, seduce, nourish himself with, and leave. But all that changes when he finds himself growing feelings for the priest.<br />

I&#8217;d like to grow my list to around 3 times what it is now before we do any of that, but if you&#8217;ve got something you&#8217;d like to see me do here, even share something you&#8217;ve made with everyone, let me know by replying to this email and I&#8217;ll do my best to make it happen!<br />
