Saving Luca
Marco D’Amico has it all—professional renown, financial security, and a queue of boys at the BDSM club who vie to be the next one to feel the bite of his bull whip on their back and a permanent collar around their neck. But Marco shuns relationships and has done so successfully for forty-four years. Until he lays eyes on Luca…
Julian Maxim III is a sexy, silver fox, rich and single. Unlike Marco, Julian’s proclivity for sadism runs as deep as his desire to be in a D/s relationship with a boy who needs a caring Daddy. But at fifty-two, Julian loses hope of ever finding a submissive to call his own… until he lays eyes on Luca…
Luca Diaz is gorgeous, young, and a self-proclaimed failure. Desperate to punish himself for his mistakes, he takes a job as an escort for a sinister client—a sadist who promises to break Luca down until he’s raw and begging to be caged like a dog—and Luca believes he’s deserving of everything the sadist enforces.
Can two strong Doms find a middle ground—and possibly love—to save the boy they both adore before his self-destructive streak kills him?

Healing Luca
I’m on the run.
Beaten and bruised physically and emotionally. I don’t know if my Master is dead or alive and there are people trying to track me down. But I don’t want to be found. Especially not by the guy who violated me.
Scared, hurting, and with nowhere to go, I’m picked up on the highway by a papa bear in a bright red semi and as the miles begin to stretch out leaving California in the rear-view mirror, my healing process begins.
But a journey to recovery is not without landmines. Nor without a circle of people that love you, a chosen family that includes a gay bear with a heart bigger than his belly, his lace-loving husband, and a slobbering bullmastiff, named Jewel. What were the chances of a name like that?
Healing Luca is part two of an MM+ duology, an emotional rollercoaster ride with loads of hurt/comfort, age gap, a cutie nicknamed putto searching for a forever Daddy and a heartwarming HEA.

Touch
Sometimes love takes a village, and sometimes it just takes a touch.
Haphephobia — the intense, irrational fear of touching or being touched. Cain Goldberg has let that fear control him without question, but Luca Díaz is the submissive that makes him reconsider who is really in control.
After the traumatizing events at Thorne’s estate, Luca Díaz is ready to let go of the pain of his past to experience the euphoric surrender to his Master, but welcoming that vulnerability through pain is never easy.
Touch is an emotional and erotic love story of two men on paralleling journeys toward recovery. However, the harder Cain and Luca fall for each other, the wider it seems the chasm of trauma between them spreads. That distance is only healed as they welcome in their chosen family, all of whom come together to bridge the needs and build something uniquely beautiful.

All seems perfect for the triad—until Cain faces his biggest challenge yet: proposing to Luca. Despite conquering his inner demons, Cain experiences a mini-meltdown when it’s time to pop the question. Meanwhile, Marco, feeling sidelined as Cain’s proposal only includes Luca, begins to wonder if he should seek his own soulmate elsewhere.
Luca is eager to marry Cain, but he’s terrified of losing Marco, who has been his romantic partner since the time Cain couldn’t touch him. Now, Luca must find a way to show both men he adores that their happily-ever-after depends on them staying together as a triad.

Marco's Valentine
A Daddy? No way.
Marco D’Amico has plenty going for him—renowned pastry chef, respected Dom, and one-third of a devoted polyamorous relationship. But a Daddy? Absolutely not.Sure, he’s been longing for a submissive of his own. Sure, his aftercare is as tender as his bullwhip is sharp. Sure, he thrives on protecting and pampering those under his care.
But Not. A. Daddy. Until… he sees him.
Augustine Moore, poised in the submissive area at the kink club, his presence commanding in its quiet grace. The purity of his submission is undeniable - etched into his perfect posture, the serene tilt of his head, the way he remains still despite the cruel whispers of younger subs mocking his age. The man is breathtaking. Strength wrapped in dark, sculpted muscle, his very stillness radiating power.
And Marco wants him.
Augustine Moore is lonely. Four years after losing his husband - his Master - he’s adrift. A move from the East Coast to Southern California was supposed to be a fresh start, but it hasn’t eased the ache of needing a Dom.
At fifty, he tries to stay centered, to maintain his submissive composure. But the whispers sting. The sideways glances from Doms who overlook him cut deep. Until…a steadying hand on his elbow sends a jolt of electricity through him. When Augustine looks up into eyes as dark as midnight, as clear as truth itself, he falls. Over the edge of reason, into the aching need to submit again.
But can Marco open Augustine’s heart to more than just submission - to the idea of a polyamorous family? Can Augustine believe the words of praise when a lifetime of being valued only for his strength has left scars too deep to ignore? Can two men from different worlds discover they were meant to be Daddy and boy?
