Everlasting Love

Albert is a mated werewolf without a mate—sort of. He has feelings for his childhood best friend, Graham, and suspects that someday, Graham will be his mate. But Graham is all the way across the country in college while Albert works in a coffee shop, and anyway, the two of them currently aren't speaking to one another. Confused, and facing down the dim future of a Rejected mate, Albert leaves his small town on a quest to figure out what he wants to do and maybe also to avoid all the knowing looks from his friends and family back home. In Everlasting, famed for rain, redwoods, and dragons, Albert makes unexpected friends and plays a small part in several unfolding love stories. Each romance might just help Albert decide how to deal with his possible mate: a tiny elf-dragon antiques restorer catches the attention of a loud flirt, an elf housekeeper finally realizes he has been pining for the dragon lady of the house he keeps and immediately decides to do something about it, a mated werewolf with a snarky reputation wants to try being soft for his mate, a widower mechanic thinks an educated college boy is out of his league, and two victims of Everlasting's old prejudices finally find their happiness, all with some guidance from the slightly magical baristas in Everlasting's famous coffee shop. A collection of queer romance short stories and novellas, featuring m/m, m/f, and f/f
