Veilward Black Ops #1
Bricker Protocol
Former Marine. Queer trouble magnet. Black-ops cop for the monsters.
Interdict agent Arden “Brick” Bricker’s job is simple on keep the supernatural world off the evening news. Clean up the messes, close the files, don’t spook the civilians. When a dryad’s body turns up in a notorious cruising park in Fort Wayne, Indiana, Brick is the one Veilward sends to handle it.
Ivy’s death should be a one-off tragedy. Instead, every lead drags Brick deeper into a tangle of radical Christian nationalists, “ex-gay” true believers, and a beloved local judge with a spotless public image and blood in his blind spots. The more Brick pulls, the more he recognizes the pattern—from an older, classified operation that already cost him one lover and most of his faith in authority.
He’s not supposed to get attached this time.
Then he’s paired with Kade local investigator, exhausted hockey coach, and the kind of sharp-tongued, big-hearted man Brick has no business wanting. Kade knows every corner of this city, every way queer people get hurt here, and he’s not willing to let Brick turn Ivy into another “unfortunate consequence.”
As protests build, bodies stack up, and Veilward politics close in, Brick and Kade have to decide who they’re willing to a “beloved” judge, a sanctified hate group, or their own careers. The chemistry between them is instant and explosive—but staying alive long enough to enjoy it may be the hardest mission of Brick’s life.
Bricker Protocol is a high-heat M/M paranormal romantic thriller set in the Feeding Desire universe, a grumpy ex-Marine, a mouthy local investigator, found-family queer networks, secret supernatural courts, and a hard-won HFN.
