Sean Richmond left his past behind nineteen years ago. He's worked hard at putting that life behind him, so it's a shock when it suddenly shows up in the little Peak District village he calls home.
With the magic of Christmas in the air, the festive spirit sparks a fire that never quite died. Maybe this is their chance to explore what fate stole from them all those years ago.
Festive Friends is an MM second chance holiday romance, with overly supportive friends and family, awesome pets, and all the snuggly holiday feels.

"The fae guard on a countdown. The witch fearing betrayal from his own kind. And the shifter yearning for love but too afraid to trust in fate.
SYL
My control is shot, almost at breaking point. I want to kiss, to touch, to bite. But that's not a future I get to have. So I close my eyes, and feel.
Soft words and eager hands. My silver-haired fae with his dirty mouth, and my hot as sin witch with storm-grey eyes. I want to soak up every second of it, hoard those memories for when it all ends. Because I don't do casual.
I've wanted a mate for as long as I can remember, spent my days hoping for fate to send me the one person meant for me. But she didn't. She sent me two.
Neither ready for the lifetime commitment I'm offering. Losing one mate would break my heart. Losing both will shatter my soul beyond repair.

"Pack is family, family is everything . . . until it isn't.
Max
I worried we'd ruin it all by crossing the line from friends to lovers, but kissing Jake feels as natural as breathing. I thought we'd have forever. I thought we could take our time. I couldn't have been more wrong.
In this last installment of the Dark Forest Pack series, Max and Jake need all the help they can get to break free from their alpha's command. But there's just one problem with that—they're forbidden to talk about it. When breaking that rule could mean tearing their pack apart, is it a risk worth taking?

"A silver-haired fae with a shattered heart—a green-eyed shifter with enough love to heal him.
Axel
Burnt by a past betrayal, I've learnt the hard way to keep my heart locked up tight. As tempting as Talis is, all I can offer is friendship, because trusting someone again is a risk I can't take. Love means sharing the true nature of my magic, and the last time I did that it almost cost me my life.
Talis
I want what every shifter wants. A mate, a partner. Someone I can call mine. Axel Molhieth, beautiful and free-spirited, makes it crystal clear that isn't him. Will never be him. I know it'll end badly for me, but I want him anyway.
One night is all it takes to ruin their friendship, and avoidance is the easy way out. But when Axel's past catches up with him, putting his life in danger, they're forced to finally face the consequences of their night together.

"Dylan's Cornish retreat wasn't supposed to include a hot bloke and a cupid-playing ghost . . .
After tearing his Achilles tendon, recuperating by the sea sounds like a fantastic idea, and Dylan happily accepts his best mate's offer to stay with him and his uncle for a few weeks. But he hadn't counted on the uncle being smoking hot, or the fierce attraction that blossoms between them.
Swapping the busy streets of London for the easy pace of Cornish life is exactly what Gareth needs to move on with his own life. His new home requires a little TLC, but he'd expected that. What he hadn't expected was the ghostly resident already living there.
A ten-year age gap isn't the only issue standing between Dylan and Gareth. Their time together has an expiration date. By Christmas, Dylan will be back home in Bristol spending the holidays with his dad, leaving Gareth all alone. Luckily for them, a matchmaking Christmas Spirit has other ideas.

"A witch with a secret, a fae guard with a job to do.
Nick
As the new manager of paranormal club, Midnight, Nick Parker has his hands full. What he doesn't have time for is an inconvenient attraction for the mysterious fae with violet eyes and the kind of magic that Nick yearns for.
Dathal
A fae guard with an affinity for seeking out the truth, Dathal has one purpose—to catch those responsible for smuggling a deadly plant out of the fae realm, and then return home. Falling for a witch isn't on the cards, but something about Nick calls to him in a way he's powerless to ignore.
Their paths cross as Nick is drawn into the investigation, and their connection is inevitable, but the consequences of being together are something neither of them could have foreseen.

"All that time apart and yet the pull between them is as strong as ever . . .
Rys: Ten years ago Gabriel Mason betrayed me in the worst way. He made me question my instincts because I'd trusted him with a bone-deep certainty, and for that I will never forgive him. Seeing him again after all this time sparks memories I thought I'd buried so far down they'd never surface. He's as beautiful as I remember, but I'm older and wiser now, and I refuse to make the same mistakes again.
Gabriel: Rys Calder, wolf shifter and the biggest regret of my life. I loved him, and yet I didn't share with him the one thing that eventually became our undoing. I broke his trust and I've carried that guilt for years. I knew seeing him again would hurt, but no matter how many times I'd imagined it, being on the receiving end of his cold stares and indifference hurt more than I'd anticipated.
Thrown together again with a killer on the loose, will the past continue to haunt them, or can they move past it and claim the future that fate always had in store for them?

"A week of no-strings fun in a winter wonderland setting. No consequences, no expectations, no hurt feelings. Right?
Henry: Finding his boyfriend in a compromising position leaves him with a week off work and no holiday to go on. It's also how he finds himself on holiday alone a few weeks later, at an English holiday village in the countryside, surrounded by Christmas cheer and happy families.
He's expecting a week of relaxing days and early nights, doing his own thing, and taking some time for himself. What he's not expecting is Dom.
Dom: Coming to somewhere so familiar soothes his broken heart after yet another failed attempt at finding someone to settle down with. He's ready. They never are.
Seeing a lost-looking stranger on the first day of his holiday triggers his protective instincts, so he steps in to give him some helpful advice. Who knew that advice would mean they end up spending the day and then the whole week together? But he figures a holiday fling is exactly what he needs to get through this slump: no expectations, no misunderstandings, no heartbreak.
Or that was the plan.

"Daryl plays with fire and gets burned by fate . . .
Former Primrose Pack member Jason Black happily accepted his role as beta in the new Regent's Hill pack, knowing that merging the two was the best decision for everyone involved. Daryl Easton is loyal and honest but wary of change. The joining of the two packs wasn't his preferred outcome, and he's struggling to see all the newcomers as pack, including those now working alongside him.
When the alpha council proposes a two-week pack-building course to help improve troubled relationships, Jason and Daryl are sent along as backup. It soon becomes clear that the unit members and their betas won't be the only ones taking part in tasks—Daryl and Jason will have challenges of their own to complete.
With the full moon adding to the rising tension, emotions are volatile, and tempers flare among the unit members. Jason and Daryl become closer than either of them expected, but with such opposing views on relationships, a messy outcome seems inevitable unless Daryl can let go of the past.

"Brought together by fate, torn apart by family.
Rachel Tregarrak, Penwith pack beta and daughter of the alpha, has always called the rugged Cornish coast her home. With its beautiful landscapes, bracing sea air, and vast spaces to run, she can't imagine living anywhere else.
After years of living with her mother in her grandfather's pack, Sara Gallen returns to Penzance to be with her alpha father and her brothers. She wants to build their relationships, get to know the rest of her family better than occasional visits allow.

Sara finds solace with her grandmother in her alpha council residence, and Rachel is sent to a London pack to keep her out of trouble.

"Gareth's heart is set on Cam, but Cam's heart broke a long time ago.
As alpha of the Regent's Park Pack, Cam's focus is always centred on its members—his personal life pushed aside after the death of his wife. Now that his pack has merged with the Primrose Hill shifters, he can't afford any distractions.
Gareth's been in love with his alpha for years, but his position as beta complicates matters. Added to the fact Cam still mourns his late wife, Gareth knows his feelings will never be reciprocated, so he buries them deep.
With the two packs already struggling to unite under one alpha, they get a surprise addition—one who causes more tension within the ranks. Under such strain, long-kept secrets are forced into the open. Gareth and Cam must deal with the aftermath, while also keeping the pack's best interests at heart.

"Two lovers from rival packs. Have they come together only to be forced apart?
Alec Knight, a beta in the Regent's Park pack, guards his heart carefully. Ghosts from his past keep him alone and angry, any hope of a relationship impossible while guilt from the pack wars still haunts him. With the anniversary drawing near, Alec needs a distraction.
As a lowly member of the Primrose Hill pack, Mark Appleton isn't used to having his alpha's attention. Lately he's had more than his fair share, and not for the right reasons. Despite growing suspicions that all is not well, Mark tries hard to do better, but constant criticism leaves him desperate for a stress outlet.
Sex is a good way for shifters to let off steam, and while their packs attack each other with accusations and lies, Alec and Mark work out their frustrations in bed. Pillow talk and shared secrets lead to a closeness neither was expecting, but when pack relations reach an all-time low, any future for them seems out of the question.
If they want to be together, they'll have to go against their alphas' wishes—except Alec won't and Mark can't.
