Dear Reader,
Since my books crossover a great deal, I recommend reading them as they are written. I tend to mention characters in books they don’t generally occur in, and later in the series, there are full crossovers.
Some readers have contacted me for this list, and I figured I’d pass it on to the rest of you.
While you can read the books by series only, it only enhances the reading experience if you go in order of how I wrote them. I tend to give away secrets…
I’m sneaky like that.
On the next page, I’ve given you the list.

Wedding of our Dreams Novella
Dear Reader,
You’ve just finished Paid Justice, and it went out with one hell of an explosion. Right now, you’re wondering how the family could possibly celebrate a wedding with Natasha’s death.
How will Chris go on?
Will Dimitri go dark side on everyone?
Well, you’re going to find out, but not in this book. This story takes place after the case is solved but before the final scene with Chris asking Dimitri for his sister’s hand in marriage.
If you’re wonde
ring why I didn’t make this one big book, including the novella into the storyline, the answer is simple. Some people are bothered by a gay sex scene. I’ve received comments by readers who didn’t like Dante and Steele kissing, so I opted to make this its own little story.
In this novella, you are going to get some Reggie, some family, and a whole lot of lovin’. There’s plenty of sex, some juicy tidbits about what is coming, and of course, the questions regarding the big elephant in the room.
Will Dante ever get Steele to the altar, and if he does, will we finally find out what happened to Steele during his abduction?
You will also meet a new character. Bentley Herron. The other readers, who didn’t want to take part in this book, will have to play catch-up, but the rest of you get the prize. You get to meet Steele’s brother by the woman his father had the long affair with in the previous series.
So, sit back, get some wine or coffee, and enjoy this book. There’s no mystery, no killing, but plenty of Croft-y goodness to go around.
The family is about to celebrate, and you’re cordially invited to partake in a Wedding of Our Dreams.
It’s by invitation only.
Your hostess,
Morgan.
I now pronounce you husband and husband. You may kiss the groom…
My name is Greyson Croft…
The next few days for my family is huge. It’s been long awaited, and something the whole city has anticipated happening.
What is it?
A wedding.
We’re going to be celebrating the marriage between my brother and his fiancé, Doctor Steele Bentley. It’s been a long time coming, and there have been hurdles along the way.
Tears.
Anguish.
Pain.
Yet, through it all, their love has survived it.
It has overcome.
Theirs is a beautiful story.
They fell in love, and to those of us—me—who didn’t see it coming, it was a little shocking. For years, my brother pretended to be straight and the typical man.
He had everyone fooled.
Especially me.
Beneath the veneer of being a heterosexual ex-soldier, there was a man I never really knew. I took him for face value, and that had been a cold, hard slap of reality once the truth came out.
He lied to me.
That hurt the most in our relationship. It nearly caused a rift between us.
It devastated me—not the gay part—because I don’t give a shit about anyone’s sexuality—including my own blood.
I don’t judge a man, or woman, by who he or she sleeps with at night.
I don’t judge them by who they love.
I judge by character, and that he’d lie…it said a lot about him as a man.
What also hurt was how he felt that he had to hide the truth from me so I wouldn’t be ashamed or disappointed in him.
No one should have to live a fake life to please someone else, and Dante and Steele deserve just as much love as the rest of us.
I’ve seen a lot in my life.
Some of it has been good, and some of it has rocked me to my core. As an ex-soldier, myself, I know how hard it can be to be gay in the military.
I’ve seen what they live.
I’ve seen my brothers and sisters tortured because they wanted to be true to themselves.
I’ve seen them take countless hours of abuse over just being born that way.
The punishment was ugly and repercussions were countless.
Once saddled with being gay, they had a much harder time moving up the ladder. In fact, they often finished their tour and left.
Abuse is tough.
I get why he hid it.
I would have, too, but never with my family.
Then, life changed for Dante. He grew up, got a backbone, and took a stand.
When he came home, he finally felt safe enough to be himself after he found Steele. Dante found the courage to own his life, and stand up for what he wanted, and for what he believed in for himself.
That’s the best gift my brother could give himself.
One of the best moments in my life was when I got to see my brother be the man he was meant to be.
It changed everything for him, and for the rest of us—including me.
That’s been a huge lesson for me the last few months.
I wasn’t meant to be a cop all of my life. Vegas changed that for me. I was meant to run the Vegas mob and change this city—for the better.
Just like Dante, I wasn’t being true to myself the whole time. I was a soldier, a killer, and then a Fed, and none of it fit.
I didn’t fit.
Then I let fate take control. I found my wife, I found my family, and I let my instincts lead the way.
It brought me here to this moment in time.
I followed my brother’s lead, being true to myself. Maybe it was him, maybe it was my wife, or maybe it was Vegas itself, but I’m a different man.
I’m proud of my brother.
Steele flipped the switch in him, and he’s made him a better man.
Hell!
Doctor Steele Bentley has made a world of difference in our family, and that’s what matters to me.
He gave Dante love.
For that, I owe him.
Truth be told, I know a little about love. Theirs is something of fairytales and stories that give you that warm fuzzy feeling. It’s about two people from different worlds and different parts of the country. By chance, they meet. They fall in love, and the rest…it’s history.
Like myself and Emma.
That’s how I know this will last.
Besides, they deserve it.
When Steele was abducted and tortured to get information on my family, he didn’t break.
He didn’t cave.
Most importantly of all, he didn’t betray us to, Dominic, that scumbag. He took the torture and offered up his own life to make sure we were protected.
That’s love.
To me, that’s earned him a special place in the Croft family, and I’m honored to give him my name. I’m honored that he’ll finally be one of us.
To me, he’s always going to be a brother.
To my brother, he’s his soulmate.
To my wife, he’s a good friend—a brother of sorts.
We are all blessed to have him in our lives, and there will never be a day that we aren’t grateful that he’d fallen onto our path to become ours.
That’s what Steele is.
OURS.
In life, you shouldn’t judge anyone, let alone my brother’s love for Doctor Steele Bentley.
Be kind.
Be gentle.
Love fully.
Love completely.
Put aside the gender of a person, and what you ‘think’ is right, and go with your heart.
If it were you, how would you feel?
How would you get up each day knowing the world hated you because you simply fell in love?
How would you handle the hate, the bigotry, and the angry words?
I hope you never find out. For you, and for them, I hope you all find love, laughter, and joy.
Aren’t we all deserving of that?
Most importantly, and above all else, I have one more wish for Dante, my blood, and Steele, my soon to be brother.
I also hope that the man can handle a caveman.
It seems to run in our DNA.
So, as you sit down to read the next part of their love story, I hope you do it with love, compassion, and understanding.
We are all worthy of someone, and if we do, indeed, get lucky and find that person, our lives are complete.
Now, sit back.
Relax.
And enjoy the final days of Dante and Steele’s bachelor life.
There will be some laughs.
Some tears.
And a whole lot of chaos.
When a Croft gets married, especially two gay men, there’s bound to be s
ome fun along the way.
You know my family, and my mother.
I hope you all feel the love they share, and know that there is someone out there who will love each and every one of us no matter what.
Soulmates do exist.
Here is the proof.
Signed,
Greyson Croft
Chapter One
Las Vegas
The Day before…
T o say that he was nervous would be an understatement. It was the day before his wedding, and Dante Croft was one hot mess. He was standing in his brother’s bedroom, the one Greyson shared with Emma, his wife, and he wanted to throw up or run for it.
He was freaked out.
Dante could hear the clock ticking, and he was nervously counting down the hours. Before long, he was going to be a married man.
Holy shit!
It was happening.
It seemed like just yesterday he was proposing to Steele on bended knee in the middle of a Las Vegas function. Now, he was about to do the deed.
The shit was getting real.
Dante Atticus Croft was going to be off the market for the rest of his life.
He was tying the knot.
Dante was trying desperately not to panic. It was hard. At that very moment, he was getting fitted for the suit he was going to wear to the nuptials.
Tomorrow.
There.
Jesus!
The whole thing was nerve wracking, including what to wear. They were going to go with tuxes at first, but they didn’t want to turn this into a formal affair.
It was already out of hand.
Emma was literally giving him and Steele anything they wanted for their wedding. When he jokingly said that he wanted to ride in on rainbow colored golf carts, she’d ordered two.
They had plates that said ‘groom’ and ‘groom’, plus, matching robes for the morning after the wedding.
It was out of control.
Emma was out of control.
