Scarlet Blackwell's jam is m/m enemies-to-lovers romance. Her stories are usually small town contemporary but she has been known to throw the odd historical or paranormal into the mix and a hot cop fairly often.
She likes unusual settings and atypical, flawed heroes. Her stories are dark and gritty and her themes are not for the faint-hearted, but a HEA is always assured.

The two continue to meet once a year and their love remains unrequited until they, and the world, are shattered by war, and life will never be the same again.

Cold Love #1
“I’m not going anywhere until I’ve slept in your nice warm bed. If you haven’t got an electric blanket, I’ll expect you to warm me up personally.”
Who is the man with the gun? Friend or foe? Enemy or lover?
Ethan
I saw my way out and took it. I never dreamed it would be complicated by someone as distracting as Gabriel.
Gabriel
I thought my cabin was safe in a snowstorm until he arrived. Shivering, blue with cold and armed with a gun. The hottest thing to ever happen to me.
Horror writer Gabriel’s worst nightmare is about to come true…
Alaska is home to Gabriel Black two months of the year when he retreats to his isolated cabin to write. But with his relationship on the rocks, life is treating him badly. He doesn’t think things can get any worse when a storm strikes, keeping him snowed in, but he’s wrong.
His solitude is invaded by armed intruder Ethan, his origin a mystery. Ethan is an enigma, a man surely on the run, maybe a dangerous criminal, but Gabriel is drawn to Ethan’s broken spirit and damaged soul. Ethan is so much more than he first appears and Gabriel wants to know what he hides.
Heat ignites between Gabriel and Ethan and the lines between captive and captor soon start to blur. What secrets is Ethan keeping and will Gabriel be prepared to risk all for him?
“I guess I’m not an effective captor if I arouse rather than terrify you.”

Summary:
In a world torn apart by war, solace is hard to find…
It is 1919, less than a year after the end of the First World War and a recovering Britain is in the grip of the influenza pandemic. Times are hard. Victory came at a price for everyone left behind.
Crippled veteran of the Battle of the Somme, Robert Blake, is looking for someone to ease his nightmares of France. He carries never ending guilt over the fate of his commanding officer in the trenches. He turns to educated rent boy Jack Anderson for physical solace.
Jack didn’t go to war but faces struggles in his own way, selling his body to earn enough money to survive. The two are drawn inexorably together from the start, not expecting how deeply they will soon become immersed in each other’s lives.

Summary:
Deep Water #1
A Mediterranean cruise. One broken-hearted passenger. The hottest captain ever to fill a uniform.
"The captain lifted himself free from the water like some sort of sea god."
Smarting from a break up, Josh Addison has no choice but to go alone on the Mediterranean cruise he’d planned to take with his ex. Expecting to lick his wounds in the sun, he’s struck by a thunderbolt when he meets the captain of the ship.
Kane Kessler tries his hardest not to fraternize with passengers. He’s led a long, lonely existence in his job, but he’s only human and it’s lust at first sight when he sets eyes on his shy, broken-hearted passenger. He wants to stay away, for the sake of his job and for Josh’s sake. When he isn’t captaining cruise liners, he lives at the other end of the United States from Josh—there can never be a future for them. It’s not easy to keep away though; the chemistry between them is too explosive to ignore.
They have two weeks to get this thing out of their system and go back to their lives without each other.
They can both treat this as the casual fling it is—right?

Summary:
“Mr. Lewis alleged you picked him up today on Main Street while masquerading as a taxi driver, and drove him some distance before you let him out.”
When artist and professional beach bum Sam accidentally kidnaps hot blind guy Kieran, emotions start to complicate his simple no-strings life. Sam’s just looking for a hook-up, not a soulmate, but he soon starts to care dangerously for Kieran and his injured dog.
“You’ll continue to see those stars on your bedroom ceiling, because I’m going to put them there. Every night for the rest of your life.”
Kieran’s a prickly customer. He’s fiercely independent and doesn’t need anyone to look after him, least of all somebody with a reputation like Sam’s. But fate has thrown them together and they can fight it, but sooner or later, they’ll have to accept the inevitable.
Short, sweet, contemporary novella with spice, snark, hurt/comfort and HEA.
Previously published as Blind Blondie. Revised and extended.
