I'm so excited to share the cover for Volume 7 of the Love is All charity romance anthology.
Every year, all proceeds are donated to charities that support the LGBTQ+ community. This year, we've chosen Advocates for Trans Equality.
A4TE was founded in 2024 as the National Center for Transgender Equality (NCTE) and Transgender Legal Defense and Education Fund (TLDEF), two long-time champions for the trans community, merged together as one organization. A4TE builds on their successes to boldly imagine a world where trans people live their lives joyfully and without barriers.
The seventh edition of Love Is All features ten novellas and short stories from bestselling and award-winning authors, including Chantal Mer, Susan Scott Shelley, Gabbi Grey, Lee Blair, Xio Axelrod, Piper Malone, A.D. Ellis, Skylar M. Cates, Sophia Soames, and R.L. Merrill. They celebrate the universal human right, which is to love and be loved.
The anthology releases on June 3rd and will only be available for a limited time.
I've taken part in this anthology every year, and I've loved being a part of this project.
For Volume 7, I've contributed Hold on Forever, a rock star romance. Here's the blurb:
London Best has spent the last ten years pouring everything he has into the rock band he formed with his best friends. Signing with a new label has brought them newfound success and their star is rising. Fresh off recording their latest album, he’s excited to return to performing. Reuniting with musician in crisis Maddox Muldoon throws him off balance, and London rides to the rescue of his friend’s brother, issuing an invitation that will affect his upcoming festival shows, and keep him in close proximity with Maddox, who has captivated London for years.
Maddox Muldoon has spent the last twelve years as a member of a wildly popular boy band, with his life revolving around other people calling all the shots and the public watching his every move. Deciding to switch genres from pop to rock costs him his band, record label, and friendships he’d depended on. Alone and disheartened, he jumps at London’s offer to join him for a weekend away at a music festival, and for the first time in years, has uninterrupted hours with his longtime crush, and a chance to spread his creative wings into the genre of his heart.
As London and Maddox’s relationship grows into more, they learn how well they complement each other, onstage and off. But with the spotlight growing uncomfortably brighter, these friends to lovers will need to decide if they can stay in tune, or they’ll risk becoming a one-hit wonder.
