Seen
Some houses are haunted. Some men are, too.
Darius Haddad bought a hundred acres and a big empty house at the end of a gravel road to get away from everyone, himself most of all. He didn’t count on the wilderness guide he hired for the winter. He didn’t count on the cold that lies down on one side of the bed like it’s owed the spot, the small handprints low on the inside of the glass where nothing outside could have put them, or the woman in an apron at the kitchen sink when there is no one in the house.
Cole Bird has spent twelve years living out of a truck, never staying anywhere long enough for it to cost him. One winter contract on a house that should never have been able to touch him, and he finds the two things he didn’t come for: a man worth stopping for, and a house that wants something from them both.
What they uncover under that roof is what the family who built it spent seventy years making sure no one could say out loud. A young woman. A child. A truth nobody would put on paper.
Laying it to rest will take the one thing that scares them both worse than any ghost: being seen, and staying anyway.
Seen is a tender, high-heat M/M paranormal romance. A love story with the bedroom door off its hinges, wrapped around a real ghost story and a piece of history handled with care. Standalone, no cliffhanger, and a hard-won happily-ever-after.

Seen is a paranormal M/M romance: a tender, explicit love story wrapped around a haunted house and a 1950s tragedy. Here are the full content notes, so you know exactly what you are walking into.
The romance and the heat (explicit, on the page)
- Explicit sex once the couple comes together, high heat with a tender, loving core
- The full range: kissing, oral, anal, rimming, fingering, hands and mouths
- Fully versatile: both men top and both bottom
- Bareback is the norm; both are on PrEP and say so on the page
- Coming inside (creampie), with some breeding and claiming talk
- A little come play, and cleaning a partner up with his mouth afterward (tidy, tender, not more)
- Some scent play: a partner enjoyed before he has washed the day off
- Nude swimming, hot-tub and shower scenes, and a couple of semi-public outdoor moments
- Hands-free orgasms
- Aftercare in every scene; the sex is often emotional, including tears and grief-release
One scene goes rough
- One scene goes rough: spanking (open hand), a bite, a fist in the hair, and some filthy talk and name-calling
- All of it is asked for out loud, framed as devotion rather than contempt, and wrapped in praise and aftercare
- No formal Dominance/submission, no bondage, no toys, no protocol. The rough is one scene, and always loving.
The 1950s storyline (heavier ground)
- The sexual assault of a young Black live-in servant by her white employer: off the page, but unmistakable, along with the coercion and powerlessness around it, and a pregnancy that results
- The death of an infant by drowning: told, shown, and revisited. This is the hardest material in the book.
- The mother’s suicide by hanging, four days after her son drowns
- A woman committed to an institution against her will so her husband can be rid of her
- Jim Crow-era racism and domestic servitude
Present-day threads to know about
- A therapy patient’s suicide, and the survivor guilt it leaves the main character (no method shown)
- Racism (anti-Arab microaggressions, a name never said right) and a homophobic slur in public
- A main character’s fear that he is losing his mind
- Ghosts, dread, and scares, including one moment where the haunting leaves a real mark
- A firearm kept in the house; grief and mourning; heavy drinking by a period character
What you will NOT find
- No underage, no incest, no bestiality, and no non-consent between the central couple
- The assault and the child’s death belong to the historical storyline, never the leads
- A real, earned happily-ever-after. (One tonal note: the villain of the old story is not redeemed.)
The Kudzu Farm Series
Off a road the map forgot, past where the kudzu has swallowed the fences whole, there is a farm that keeps the people the world decided should not exist. Werewolves. Fae. Anyone an old, patient Order has marked to erase. They come here on the run and find, instead of a grave, a table with their name on it.
These are high-heat, fiercely tender paranormal romances: monstrous men who turn out to be the gentlest thing in the room, the family you build when the one you were born to failed you, and the kind of love the world does not get to take.
Book by book, more of them come down the long drive: lovers, strays, the hunted and the lost. The farm just calls them family.
Ground
Run to Ground
For two years, Elijah Taylor has worked the night shift beside the man he loves and never said a word. He can’t. Eli’s a werewolf, and the day the wrong people find out what he is, he’s a dead man.
They already know.
At three in the morning, the one they sent to end him walks into the diner. Minutes later that man is dead on the floor, and there’s a card in his pocket with Eli’s own face on it and one word stamped beneath. Sanction. The quiet life is over. Now there’s only the road, and Jesse, who watched the wolf tear loose and climbed on the back of the bike anyway.
What’s out there is bigger than one dead man: an order that’s spent centuries erasing people like him, a caged girl with power waking in her hands, a houseful of the hunted who might just become a family. Running has kept Eli alive his whole life. Loving Jesse is what finally makes him turn and fight.
The world will try to take all of it. Let it try.
Run to Ground is the first book in the Kudzu Farm series: a high-heat, fiercely tender M/M paranormal romance about werewolves and fae, found family, and the kind of love the world doesn’t get to take.

Content notes +
Run to Ground is an explicit, high-heat MM paranormal romance. Here are the full content notes, so you know exactly what you are walking into.
Relationship / structure
- A monogamous love story between two men
- Single POV: first person, all Eli
- Fugitive danger throughout; a found-family safehouse of the hunted
- No cheating; the couple ends claimed, in love, and home
- Happy for now, not a series-ending happily-ever-after. This is Book 1 of three. The two of them are settled and safe on the last page; the wider fight is not finished.
Sex (explicit, on the page)
- Seven full on-page scenes, plus lead-up and aftercare
- Bareback / condomless is the default once they commit, including a creampie; a condom is offered and mutually declined on the page, with PrEP and testing discussed first
- Anal (both men top and bottom, versatile); oral; deep-throating; rimming; fingering; hand jobs; frotting; mutual masturbation; face-sitting; foreskin play
- Cum play: cum-eating and swallowing, felching, come on the body
- Scent kink: musk, skin, the taste of him — sharpened by a werewolf’s nose
- Hands-free orgasm, more than once
Kink / power
- Rough sex: manhandling, pinning, hair-pulling, biting, and one scene that goes hard and loud
- Size kink (including a visible belly-bulge); possessive “mine” and “mate” talk; heavy dirty talk
- A partner is briefly hurt and frightened mid-scene when a shift gets away from the other man. It stops, it gets talked through, and it starts again on the frightened one’s terms.
- All rough and kink play is between consenting adults, shown with clear consent and aftercare
Paranormal / shifter-specific
- Knotting, with no heat cycles and no omegaverse mechanics
- Partial-shift “edge form” sex: human-shaped but clawed, fanged, and changed
- A claiming bite: fangs held hard on the neck, deep enough to hurt. It does not break the skin, there is no blood-play. It leaves a deep bruise, printed with every tooth, that he wears in front of the whole household for a week.
- An elongated, non-human tongue during rimming; fae mood-glow across the skin during sex
- A brief small-wolf cuddle that is affectionate and non-sexual; he is fully human before anything sexual happens (no bestiality)
Consent and safety, shown on the page
- Clear verbal consent throughout; a hero who stops when his partner is distraught; a condom offered; PrEP named; testing discussed; real aftercare every time
Themes some readers may want flagged
- Graphic violence and gore; on-page killing by the heroes; a drawn-out strangulation (a killing, not eroticized); a gunshot wound and near-death; body-horror of transformation
- Trauma carried in the body: flashbacks and crying during sex; hypervigilance; stress nausea after violence; dissociation
- Child in danger and parental murder: a four-year-old hidden in a closet while his parents are killed; grief and parental death for both leads
- Racism and code-switching to stay safe; a people hunted for what they are (a persecution allegory); institutional religion as the villain (an extermination “Order,” priest-hunter propaganda); captivity and a caged prisoner
- Brief recreational drinking and marijuana
What you will NOT find
- No mpreg. No heat cycles or omegaverse; the knotting stands on its own.
- No fated-mates bond. Nothing decides for these two. They choose each other.
- No dominance-and-submission dynamic, no praise kink, no toys, no restraints, no breath play, no spanking.
- No cheating, no love triangle, no sexual assault, no dubious consent.
