Dr. Mansourian might have the answers to all my questions—not to mention a starring role in most of my dreams—but he’s hiding something big. If I let him have what he wants, I might not live to regret it. Then again, the way things are going in Panopolis these days, I might not live either way.

TIMEFALL by Madilyn deRose
VS Note: MM time travel romance.
At some point in the near future, I was going to lose all of my friends. It was inevitable, really. That was the sort of life my fortune cookie foretold or whatever. While everyone else wanted to be a doctor or an astronaut, I always found comfort in a good heist movie. I was never very sociable and according to other people, I was kind of weird. The only people I was really close with were my brother, Blaise, and my best friend, Brandy. Now, he was gone and she was a couple months away from marrying a straight edge millionaire. Me; I was a thief. Not the kind that stole one shoe from Walmart. No, I got my hands on things that were a bit more valuable. My life was about intricate surveillance, burglary, and grand theft auto when I was feeling ballsy. I was good at what I did, but I hadn’t made my big break yet. That was about to change. When I learned about a fancy lab with mysterious inventions, I set my sights on it. What I found there was far above anything I’d imagined. I mean, time travel was the stuff of science fiction. With top secret documents and one of their devices in hand, I was going to be a billionaire very soon. Well, that was the plan. Note to self: don’t mess around with a device that could send you hundreds of years into the past. Second note to self: make sure you don’t have a straggler when you head back to your own time. The guy definitely wouldn’t fit in and he’d probably cause all sorts of problems. Hell, at least he was really damn hot. And straight, of course. It’s possible he’s a homophobe, if we’re being honest. My main concern was getting him home. What else could go wrong along the way? AmazonKU

Once I got there, I had to hide my true self. If people knew I had a duality, the repercussions could be severe. So, I would do as the headmistress told me —keep my head down and my wolves hidden —both of them. And then I met the Three Kings. They stayed together–their own little pack. My wolves called out for me to go to them–both of my wolves wanted them desperately. Wanting them was one thing–getting them would mean the end of my night wolf and maybe my life. AmazonKU

Some authors aren’t in KU but still don’t list books with Apple or other platforms.

If an author gives me their other buy links, I include them here but generally I develop the post on my own, not from author-supplied information. I curate and prepare this post individually every week to help connect readers/books/authors and I have to be very careful not to give it so much time as an activity that I don’t write my own novels!
