Milliner Valentina Briggston is on a mission of marriage.

Valentina has to marry to protect her successful business of (slightly magical) women’s hats, and she has selected her quarry with care. Unfortunately, she finds herself with a rival, the fiery and fashion-defying Charlotte Jones, who is disturbingly beautiful, unexpectedly clever, and, if Valentina is being honest with herself, much more interesting than the man they are supposed to be vying for.

When their intended husband-of-convenience becomes the focus of supernatural mischief, the two rivals reluctantly have to collaborate to figure out who—or what—is targeting him...and why. What starts as a truce to protect their practical interests ends up as an opportunity for happiness that neither of them saw coming.

All Manner of Hats is a short, sweet lesbian romp of manners with magic, ghost horses, and cunning hats, in a steampunk-flavored world of dirigibles, duels, and cityships.

If the moose festival doesn't blow up Maggie's life, the hot motorcycle-riding cheerleader just might ...

Big, shy, and clumsy, Maggie "Moose" McKenna has been dogged by her hated nickname ever since childhood. Worse, she lives in the small Alaska town of Moose Point, which never lets her forget it. From the annual Moose Madness Festival to the moose bumper stickers to the giant sign for the Moose Point Pub where she works, this town loves its moose.

Worst of all? Maggie really is a moose. A moose shifter, to be specific. It's just that no one knows. No one can ever know.

Except one person ...

Wolf shifter Fiona Barton was one of the mean girls in high school ... and Maggie's desperate crush. Years after shaking the dust of Moose Point off her heels, she's back in town for a pack event and runs headlong into Maggie—and this time she recognizes what she didn't before: the tall girl with the shy, beautiful smile is her fated mate.

Fiona is openly out; Maggie isn't. But Fi has a lot to make up for, and Maggie has a lot of soul-searching to do before a wolf and a moose can ride off into the sunset together.

Handcuffed together. Only one bed. Which will win: Megan and Sarah's sizzling sexual attraction, or their compulsion to correct each other’s atrocious fandom opinions?

Shy library science student by day, fanfic writer by night, Megan is thrilled when she discovers her new crush Sarah shares her favorite fandom. Smart, gorgeous, and brashly confident in her thoughts on fandom, Sarah is Megan’s dream girl… until Megan realizes that Sarah is also her Tumblr nemesis, who called Megan’s popular ongoing fic “the cancer that is killing fandom.” Clearly, they must never speak again.

But when a writing club exercise leaves them handcuffed together, they have no choice but to duke out their differences, until they reach an agreement on the most important question of all: is hatesex as insanely hot in real life as it is in fic? (Yes. Yes, it is, at least in this steamy f/f novelette.)
