When Caspian and I vowed to mate if neither of us found our fated by our thirtieth birthdays, it sounded like the best idea ever. We were best friends and deep inside I always knew he was mine. All I had to do was wait until his Arctic wolf realized it and all would be right in the world. The only thing is, his thirtieth birthday is barreling toward us, and he’s no closer to seeing my rabbit as his than he was all those years ago.

Now I’m having second thoughts. What if I’m not his fated after all? What if my wolf is wrong? I can’t picture a world without Caspian, but maybe that’s my future, after all.

Can a bitter young man learn to trust and have the best Christmas ever?

After an accident that leaves deep scars on Kiren’s back and side, not to mention his psyche, Kiren decides not to go back to college and instead goes to work at his parents’ corporation at a job he hates. On top of it all, he’s very sensitive about his body now, and refuses to date.

It’s better to be alone, he tells himself. Because he also has a secret no one knows about. He is a little.

Kiren lost his dream, lost his perfect body, and hates his job. And now he’s just discovered his parents are going to the Bahamas for Christmas for their anniversary, and he’s not invited. Could it get any worse?

To top it off, the dusky, tall and silver-sideburned boss of accounting, Max, bought him one drink at a holiday celebration just before Thanksgiving, and now Max haunts his thoughts.

It isn’t only that Max is handsome and popular at the office, or that he exudes charisma and daddy vibes. It’s also that the drink was exactly Kiren’s favorite right down to the cherry on top. How did Max know?

Is it Max who is leaving sweet little gifts on Kiren’s desk when he isn’t looking? One candy cane, a tiny toy truck, and a gumball machine whistle to name a few. A burn starts inside him that he hasn’t felt in a long time. His body wants Max. But will his mind follow? And what if Max is disgusted when he discovers Kiren’s flaws and secrets?

Can a little with a bad reputation get the daddy he deserves in time for Christmas?

I’ve watched my friends hook up and eventually find their true loves.

Not me. Something must be wrong with me. I have a great bod and fab hair. Am I too picky? Am I too superficial?

One time I got into a fight at Club 99 with another little. One time! That was almost a year ago and I was only banned for a month. Are people still talking about that? Will I wear that scarlet bunny-shaped letter forever?

Some daddies like bad boys, but I’m not bad. Maybe only a little bad. I swear. But this year, as Christmas approaches, I have already received three coal-filled stockings at the club from three not so nice daddies with leering grins. Thats not what Im looking for.

Dear Santa: I long for a daddy with a firm hand, but a loving smile. Someone who can understand me and my frustrations. Someone who can deal with my little without being too rough or too easy. I need care, comfort and guidance. Please, is that too much to ask?

If I don’t find my fated mate by Christmas, I’ll be banned from the North Pole forever.

I’ve messed up bad for the last time.

My life is a series of mistakes. The first happens when I am born and dumped unwanted at the door of Santa Christero, who immediately adopts me.

Being raised by a Santa from the revered consortium of Santas sounds like an omega elf’s dream come true, right? Wrong. While he loves me a lot, my father, Christero, is one of the busiest of all the Santas and spends very little time at home. I revere him, but I rarely see him. Sno, his housekeeper, is the one who raises me. He is wonderful, but old, and my spoiled and lazy behind gets away with a lot of mischief.

When I turn nineteen, my father decides I should work in his toy shop to learn responsibility. I take advantage of the job by not showing up on time and having three-hour lunches.

One day, I fill a thousand fancy stockings with candy and gum only to discover they are the diabetic gift stockings and have to be scrapped. You’d think someone who goes by the name of Sugar could get that right, but not me.

My father is so furious he conjures a spell that turns me into an elf figurine.

My final instructions before being boxed up and mailed to some unknown destination are: Find yourself. Find love. Find your mate. You have until Christmas or you will become an elf figurine forever.

I have only eight weeks and no idea how to make that happen.

I'm being sold to dragon-country to be forcibly mated. Please tell me it's all just a bad dream.

Akai is a set-omega, which means he has no inner beast and cannot shift. Considered worthless by his wolf pack, and with no individual rights, he is sold into slavery along with other set-omegas as they come of age.

He is purchased in a flurry of paperwork by Danon, a man with a white beard so thick and bristly, he looks like some sort of old craggy beast.

But things aren't as they seem. Despite his fears, Akai is strangely drawn to Danon, who is standoffish but still polite, and in only a few days he finds himself entering his first heat.

I've been sold to an unfriendly foreign land of dragon shifters to become a brood slave.

Tavi is a set-omega, which means he has no inner beast and cannot shift.

Considered worthless by his wolf pack, and with no individual rights, he is sold into slavery along with other set-omegas as they come of age.

Alluresh is a dragon shifter, all business and very little play. His inner dragon is feral and often controls him, shifting inappropriately at times, creating chaos and damage. Others fear him, causing Alluresh to become bitter and reclusive.

All of that changes when a shady friend from his past invites him to an omega auction. Alluresh attends, only to discover his dragon has eyes for one of the omegas for sale, demanding he bid on him or else.

What is Alluresh to do but obey his beast and call out a ridiculously large sum?

Two outcast men learn they might have more in common than they think, and a feral dragon finds his inner heart.

Contemporary omegaverse, alpha/omega, dragon shifter, mpreg/eggpreg, omega heat, knotting, opposites attract, age gap, size difference. This is a sold-into-brood-slavery tale turned romance where everything is consensual with a terribly sweet HEA.

A little who is rumored to be ace and a man who says he isn't a daddy are drawn together by powers greater than the roles of the kink club where they meet. How in all the worlds can they make it work?

Kendry: I'm tired of the daddies who leer, who only want hookups, who don't see the real me. I still want the social life of the kink club, but I decide to stop dating for a while. I enjoy dressing as a little and going to the club's book corner to read. I can still have my juice and snacks and see other littles.

Then he walks in. I've never seen him before in the daddy/little playroom. He's too big, too much leather, too much muscle. He comes straight to my corner and wiggles himself into a short, kid-sized chair right next to me. Staring straight ahead, hands folded over his chest, he looks so lonely. I start to read to him.

Zale: In all my years coming to the club, I've never bothered with the littles room. First of all, I'm not a daddy. Second, the bottles, the diapers, the pacifiers—all fine and good, just not for me. But I'm tired and need a break. My usual kinks aren't doing anything for me. I don't want hookups these days. I'm ready to settle down. I want someone just for me.

Now, looking into the littles playroom, it seems like a nice place to take a break. To relax. Here, there will be no expectations. No come-ons, no stupid pickup lines. I can just sit and watch the pretty boys play.

There's a sweet little sitting in a corner quietly reading a book. Perfect. I'll sit over there with him while I reassess my priorities and what I want from my life.

Oops. Just got caught by my roommate while I'm wearing nothing but my birthday suit. Also, I was in an embarrassing pose and acting like a baby.

He tells me he already knew.

He tells me boys and littles (littles? What are littles?) are all the rage at his favorite kink club.

The following evening, he insists I go with him to the club. The first man I see there is a handsome bouncer who gives me a menacing look. It's as if he has instant hate for me. Yet I can't get him out of my mind.

Later that night, Mr. Menacing re-enters my life in a way that has me all but begging for him to be my first-ever daddy.

Please, to all the tubby-soaker, stuffie-hugging, diaper-wearing, daddy-loving gods of the universe, let this first time be perfect. Let me finally have the daddy of my dreams and I'll be a good boy forever.

One-night stands never become more…except when they do.

Alpha dragon shifter Magnus likes the finer things in life: designer suits, fancy watches, and real estate across the nation. He's living his best life. If only his dragon felt the same. He spends his days far too close to the surface for Magnus' liking and, if he doesn't figure out why, he's afraid he's going to lose control of his beast completely.

Alpha gazelle shifter Ayelet loves the ocean and, when a position in his company opens up near San Diego, he immediately applies. What could be better than daily trips to the beach? Having someone to go with him, that's what. Why does his mind keep wandering back to a one-night stand with a hottie dragon three years ago?

Omega unicorn shifter Harbor travels around the country in his converted van. Van life might not be for everyone, but it's working out okay for him. With no herd, it's not like he has a place to call home.

One night at Animals SD, when all three of them are in the same place for the first time, changes everything.
