Mason and Five Sneak Around (a.k.a. Marcus and Hawk Kiss and Tell) Is Available!

Finally! Here’s that Wolves’ Heat story I’ve been promising. :)

Mason and Five Sneak Around (a.k.a. Marcus and Hawk Kiss and Tell): A Wolves’ Heat Story

Mason goes home. Five goes with him. Return to the early days of Mason’s life with his new mate, Five, in this Wolves’ Heat short novella, where no one is ready for this family meeting…

This short novella follows Mason’s Regret from the Wolves’ Heat series.

Available now at Smashwords!

Publishing soon on Amazon, Laterpress (where you can buy it from me), Barnes & Noble, Google Play, Kobo, and all the usual places.

For the most up to date links, go to the book’s main page.

I’m so glad to finally get it to you! If you pick up a copy and read it, I hope you love it as much as I do. Mason and Five really do have a place in my heart. After their book, I wouldn’t have thought I’d have so much left to write for them, but here you go: my longest story in Wolves’ Heat Stories to date. This one’s a short novella! ;D

Mason and Five Sneak Around (a.k.a. Marcus and Hawk Kiss and Tell) Is Almost Here!

I’m checking everything one final time and starting the upload process for Mason and Five Sneak Around (a.k.a. Marcus and Hawk Kiss and Tell) tonight!

I’ll post the announcement as soon as the book goes live. :)

I’m looking forward to publishing this one. It was so much fun to write, and yeah, it’s crazy that the main characters from one of my longest books needed another story, but here you go anyway, because they absolutely did. ;D (Sorry, Mason’s Regret, but Will’s Hope has you beat for the number one spot there in my list of longest books!)

New Wolves’ Heat Story on the Way!

Leave a reply

I’m just days away from releasing Mason and Five Sneak Around (a.k.a. Marcus and Hawk Kiss and Tell). It’s volume 3 in the Wolves’ Heat Stories series tied to the Wolves’ Heat novels.

I’m so excited to be able to get it out finally, since I feel like I’ve been planning it forever. It’s a companion story to the main series, like Devon and Kem Under the Mistletoe and Cam and Rick Play Dirty, but it came in quite a bit longer. This one is a short novella. I love it! I hope you will, too.

It’s a Love Nest: A New Canton Republic Story Is Available Now!

I’m so glad to finally be able to announce this short novella! It’s a Love Nest revisits Gregory and Thrace from Of Magic and Mating, and the entire New Canton Republic series, really, since they’re always popping up in the new books. :D

How do you change a world? One nest at a time!

Odessa Lynne returns to the New Canton Republic in It’s a Love Nest with a tale of love and devotion—and all the trouble a family of monsters and magic-wielders can create.

Gregory and Thrace are in love, but Gregory sure isn’t in love with the idea of carrying a nest for his monstrous alien mate!

It’s a love that will change a world—if he’ll just say yes…

Coming this week! It’s a Love Nest

Leave a reply

It’s official! Tuesday is the release date for It’s a Love Nest, a New Canton Republic short novella! It was supposed to be a short story, but it ended up as a seven chapter short novella (plus epilogue!), because of course that’s how it turned out when I revisited Gregory and Thrace. I love them so much that I couldn’t help myself. :D

Anyway, I’ll get the links up when they come in, and post a release notice as soon as it’s available.

New Collection! The R’H’ani Chronicles Collection 2, Volumes 7–11

The R’H’ani Chronicles have grown from a few stories that I just had to write, to a fairly large set of stories set in New United R’H’ani, Ani’Hain, and the Great Isle of Ani.

Book cover for The R'H'ani Chronicles Collection 2, Volumes 7–11 by Odessa Lynne — This could be Brylan from the second story in this collection, **His to Keep**, or Tyran from the first story, **One to Love**! I’ll let you decide. :D

I’ve put the next set of stories into a collection called The R’H’ani Chronicles Collection 2, Volumes 7–11 and you can get it now.

Expect true love, and a lot of sex. These guys are having fun! ;D

For more details and the most current links, see the main book page.

As usual with this series, I really recommend you read these stories in order! So if you haven’t read the first six stories, pick up a copy of The R’H’ani Chronicles Collection 1, Volumes 1–6 and read it first. :)

I had hesitated to make a new collection since the stories have gotten progressively longer and I’ve already put out paperbacks for some of the novellas (and have paperbacks in the works for the others)! But a new collection means I can easily put another group of the novelettes into paperback, so I’ve gone ahead and done it.

The paperback will be ready later in September. The ebook is ready now! :D

Never Enough (R’H’ani Chronicles #15) Is Available Now!

The next R’H’ani Chronicles story, Never Enough, is finally out! It’s a short novella that I’ve had finished for a while, but I wasn’t able to publish it until now. :)

Still, when I went back to look through it before getting it ready, I was really pleased with it. I think it’s a fun story and I hope you like it! :D

In this follow-up to Anything At All, Kalar plots against his new husband for a prize more valuable than all the trade between R’H’ani and the Great Isle …

But innocent Yestrille may be doing some plotting of his own …

Never Enough is another exciting tale in the R’H’ani Chronicles, where men love men and the rules of romance are complicated by contracts that bind!

Never Enough directly follows Anything At All and indirectly follows His Only Weakness. If you’ve kept up with the series, you know Yestrille is also in His to Keep and One to Tame.

Ahh, the threads are getting tangled now. :)

This is a long series, but the R’H’ani Chronicles stories stand very well on their own if you prefer to read them that way. However, I always recommend you read them in the order of publication for the most fun! :D

Here are links for Never Enough where it’s already available, but of course, the most up to date list of links will be on the book’s main page.

Amazon | Barnes & Noble | Google Play | Smashwords

Next up, getting Of Relations and Ships off my computer and ready to publish. I hope I’m not the only person excited by this news! It’s been a long time coming and I’m really glad to finally be able to get back to my writing and publishing. :)

Anything At All Is Available Now!

The first of the two new R’H’ani Chronicles stories is available now!

Anything At All cover image

Anything At All is a novelette length story for Yestrille. If you’ve kept up with the series, you know Yestrille is also in His to Keep and One to Tame. I thought he deserved his own story and this is what came of that! :-)

Here are links, but of course, the most up to date list of links will be on the book’s main page.

Amazon.com | Barnes & Noble | Google Play | Kobo | Smashwords

In this 13th volume of the R’H’ani Chronicles, Odessa Lynne brings you a novelette length story of male/male romance set in the land of Ani’Hain, where nothing is as simple as it seems…

Yestrille plans to marry for love, or not at all. But sometimes even the most simple plans fall apart when faced with the reality of life in Ani’Hain…

Anything At All is another exciting tale in the R’H’ani Chronicles, where romance and love follow a different set of rules, and true love always wins in the end!

Although the series is best read in order, this story can be read as a stand-alone story.

Since this is a R’H’ani Chronicles story, I don’t think I have to warn for sex. :D

And finally, this is science fiction that feels a whole lot like a fantasy read.

No Better Offer (R’H’ani Chronicles #12) is published! A novella!

No Better Offer is the twelfth story in the R’H’ani Chronicles series and it turned out a lot longer than I planned when I started writing it.

Instead of being a novelette (a longish short story) it’s as long as my short novel (aka novella) The King’s Guard. :) If you haven’t read that one and can’t compare, it’s about twice as long as the last R’H’ani Chronicles story, One to Tame.

It’s showing up in all the usual places, but for the most up to date list of links, visit the book’s page. :)

Here’s a little about the story that took over my life for just a little while this summer. :D

About No Better Offer

Stenyl is miserable in his new job in the harem of a wealthy R’H’ani bureaucrat, but it was the best he could get after being fired from his last for breaking the rules. When he gets a better offer, he knows he should accept. Only the better offer might not be the one he wants…

Spencyr is the reason Stenyl was fired without cause and forced to take a job he hates—so why does his heart still beat faster every time the gray man gets near?

Then there’s Neese, Stenyl’s handsome co-worker who claims not only not to be gay but to have never performed with another man, and who has made Stenyl an outcast in the harem. Neese is a liar, and Stenyl means to prove it.

If only Spencyr were a little more forthcoming about his own desires, and Neese wasn’t so infuriating—and so pretty…

Check out all the details on the page for No Better Offer, where you’ll also find the usual links.

There’s a lot of story in this one, and I happen to really love the guys in it so if you pick up a copy, I really hope you enjoy it! :D

No Better Offer stands alone the way most of the stories in this series do, so you can read it without fear of a big cliffhanger to frustrate you! That said, the next one in the series is close to being ready, so you can expect to see Stenyl again soon. ;-)

On that note, Yestrille’s got a story coming up back in Ani’Hain, and I have titles for the next several R’H’ani Chronicles stories, because I really got on a roll with these. :D

#13 – A Fair Trade
#14 – Two to Cherish
#15 – Anything He Asks
#16 – Never Enough
#17 – Only for Him

Barring disaster, they’ll all be coming out this year. :)

If I change the order before publishing, you’ll be able to find the official order on the main R’H’ani Chronicles page.
