For thousands of years, Loki has cultivated his reputation as the god of mischief.
Villain. Trickster. Chaos incarnate.
They're not entirely wrong. But they aren't right either. His chosen brothers know the truth. These days, Loki has carved out a quiet life in the small coastal town of Grayhaven, raising his niece, Zinnia. Turns out, even the god of mischief can't outsmart bedtime tantrums or the strict etiquette of a stuffed animal tea party.
Then Armand walks into Malum Lodge.
Kind. Patient. Wonderful with children. Entirely unimpressed by gods.
As Zinnia's new manny, Armand quietly reshapes the home in a way Loki never realized he wanted. There's only one problem. Armand is a mystery, and Loki has never met an enigma he didn't want to solve. And for some reason, this is one he really wants to kiss.
As Armand becomes part of Loki's unconventional family, the mystery surrounding him deepens with every passing day. Together, they discover that some truths are worth risking everything for.
Filled with humor, heart, mystery, and divine mischief, Gods of Mischief and Mayhem: Loki is a whimsical contemporary fantasy MM romance where ancient gods navigate the modern world, build the family they always wanted, and discover that happily ever after leaves plenty of room for chaos.
