Summary: Regan Cruz thought grief was his greatest battle—until his late husband Max’s secrets shattered everything he believed about their life together in San Jose, California. When the family attorney calls him in, Regan learns that Max had been hiding a fortune in money and property. Even more shocking is a cryptic letter instructing him to visit a secluded cabin in Boulder Creek, California, where a journal and a man named Lutin will explain everything. At the cabin, Regan encounters an eccentric old man who seems unhinged. Brushing off the bizarre meeting, he discovers Max’s journal, only to find claims that defy reason—Max’s family were Hereditary Witches, and Regan himself is an Elemental Witch. Feeling like the world has gone mad, Regan attempts to leave—until he meets a handsome man who introduces himself as Lutin. As inexplicable events continue to unfold around him, Regan begins to suspect that reality is far more magical than he ever imagined. Can Regan, with Lutin’s guidance, control his newfound elemental powers before they consume him? As the two grow closer, will they remain strangers or become something more? And as Regan comes to terms with his abilities, he may realize there’s more than magic at play—it might be fate.

Summary: He came to this human hotel to disappear. Instead, he found a barista who makes espresso taste like home—and glitches no one else can solve. Adri Linari, overlooked tech mage and younger sibling of Niralen’s charismatic Crown Prince, is more comfortable with schematics than small talk. Overwhelmed by royal obligations, a sensory-frying engagement party, and the ache of always being the odd one out, he runs—straight to the Renversé Hotel in Princedelphia, Oregon. All he wants is quiet, a place to draw, and maybe fix a few circuits. He doesn’t expect the barista whose espresso tastes like the calm he radiates. Single trans dad Sam Walker thrives on structured chaos—managing Café Magnifique, co-parenting five incredible kids, and serving up caffeine and kindness to a revolving door of patrons. Falling for the mysterious, purple-skinned stranger who only ever orders espresso and somehow brightens his mornings? He doesn’t have time for that. But something’s wrong in the hotel’s west wing, and now they’re tangled in logic-defying glitches that even mess with Sam’s precious machines—and an attraction that won’t stop buzzing. “Tech Prince Troubles” is a spicy, slow-burn male/male urban fantasy romance full of mysterious glitches, coffee-fueled flirting, found family, single dad vibes, and an opinionated espresso machine named Gandalf. It’s book 6 in the Runaway Prince Hotel collab series, where magical royals find love over a cup of coffee. HEA guaranteed.
