When Sam Raintree goes to work for Bay City Paranormal Investigations, he expects his quiet life to change—he doesn’t expect to put his life and sanity on the line, or to fall for a man he can never have.

Book One in the Bay City Paranormal Investigation series.

Sam Raintree has never been normal. All his life, he’s experienced things he can’t explain. Things that have colored his view of the world and of himself. So taking a job as a paranormal investigator seems like a perfect fit. His new co-workers, he figures, don’t have to know he’s gay.

When Sam arrives at Oleander House, the site of his first assignment with Bay City Paranormal Investigations, nothing is what he expected. The repetitive yet exciting work, the unusual and violent history of the house, the intensely erotic and terrifying dreams which plague his sleep. But the most unexpected thing is Dr. Bo Broussard, the group’s leader.

From the moment they meet, Sam is strongly attracted to his intelligent, alluring boss. It doesn’t take Sam long to figure out that although Bo has led a heterosexual life, he is very much in the closet, and wants Sam as badly as Sam wants him.

As the investigation of Oleander House progresses and paranormal events in the house escalate, Sam and Bo circle warily around their mutual attraction, until a single night of bloodshed and revelation changes their lives forever.

Warning: this title contains explicit male/male sex, intense violence, and graphic language.

  1. ...at times truly scary…OLEANDER HOUSE is an enjoyable and intriguing read, which successfully combines its paranormal elements with the budding relationship between the two male characters. I recommend OLEANDER HOUSE.

    — Nickole Yarbrough, RRT Erotic

  2. ...atmospheric and dark, gritty and yet quite sensual. The mystery plot unfolded seamlessly, and the men’s desire for each other and what their relationship could represent added an intensity that deepened not only the romantic plot, but the suspense as well. The house almost seems to be a secondary character itself, and the paranormal elements were presented well but never overshadowed the romance and all the emotional baggage that it entailed. This is a very well-rounded book that should appeal to lovers of paranormal romance and mystery alike.
