Alpha’s Two Omegas, by Hope Bennett

Three housemates. Two best friends. The sweet little omega they can’t help but fall for.

Ty and Alder have been in love for years. The problem is that neither of them have ever admitted that out loud. These best friends have everything they need, except a housemate to help share the rent. They just don’t want anyone coming between them.

Ronnie is looking for a place to stay. At first, he’s pleased to find two housemates he likes so much. Then other pesky feelings start to get in the way. Ronnie’s falling for the big, gentle alpha… and the clever, determined omega… How can he want both of them at the same time?

As the housemates get to know each other, they start to form strong bonds. But what they want seems impossible. To get what their heart desires, one of them must find the courage to speak up.

A steamy mmm romance, featuring a confident and sparky omega, a sweet and shy omega, and the alpha who wants them both.

This book contains explicit language and scenes.

Alpha’s Two Omegas has all the light and fluffy feels you’ve come to expect from a Hope Bennett book. It also has supportive BFFs, banter, protective instincts, knotting and an HEA.

SWEET IN SILFORD is a non-shifter omegaverse, featuring alphas and omegas who fall in love. It is MPreg-light, meaning MPreg is possible but doesn’t feature in every story. Each book can be read as a standalone. They do feature some crossover characters, though, so why not enjoy the whole series? This book is an alpha/omega/omega story.

Find out which of them makes the first move now.

Bay, by Gianni Holmes

From USA Today Bestselling author Gianni Holmes comes a bi-awakening biker romance with a huge age gap.

I’ve been a politician, husband, and father.

But I never counted on being a biker’s plaything—a biker who’s almost half my age.

As the former mayor of Smoky Vale, I hinged my campaign on getting rid of all bikers.

They are everything that’s wrong with our town. Everywhere they go they breed crudeness, chaos, and carnage.

Then my son fell in love with not one, but two of them.

Now I have no choice but to interact with the very people I tried to take down.

My disapproval of their lifestyle wavers when a spawn of Goliath backs me into a wall, kisses me senselessly, and makes it clear in the most vulgar way possible what he wants to do to me.

Bay is fierce, frank, and the only man who’s ever made me burn.

He teaches me how to tap into base desires I didn’t even know I had. And it intrigues me how a man so volatile and obscene can be equally protective and affectionate.

Those hands that shed blood now make mine boil in my veins.

When my ex-wife continues to ruin my life from behind prison bars, it’s Bay’s ruthlessness I once despised that I must now lean on to keep me and the ones I love safe. But what my ex-wife gets me involved with goes higher up than I could have ever imagined. Are some things better left in the dark, or do we expose those at the top of these heinous acts, even if it means risking our lives?

Bay is a 90k+ word full-length novel that can be read as a stand-alone. This is the first book in the Smoky Vale Alliance, a spin-off from The Grimm Tales of Smoky Vale series. Some familiarity with that series is recommended (but not necessary) for an even greater enjoyment of these books.

Unfettered Omega, by S. Rodman

Is he here to save me? Or is he just another captor?

I’m a slave. Nothing more than property. The very thing I never wanted to be, and the very reason I ran away from my pack.

Seems like fate has a cruel sense of humor.

Being enslaved in a harem, even a billionaire’s, is no life at all.

‘Ritchie’s Rainbow’, they call us. Each of us are named and dressed in a different color. Red, Blue, Jade, Gray, Pink, Yellow and Indigo. I’ve been called Red for so long, I can barely remember my real name.

A vampire, siren, fey, demon, vessel, kelpie and me, a wolf shifter. All imprisoned for the pleasure of a wealthy human, to use for himself and to lend to his friends.

I take care of the other boys the best I can, they are brothers to me and it’s in my omega nature to be nurturing. But it is hard when we are all suffering so much.

But Brodie, the new healer, seems kind under his gruff exterior. I see something in his eyes. Something that gives me hope.

I think he might just be here to save us all.

But I don’t think falling for me is part of the plan.

Am I going to ruin everything?

Or will I finally find freedom? Finally become unfettered?

Delve into Unfettered Omega to find hurt/comfort in a guard/prisoner secret romance.

Unfettered Omega is an MM romance. It is the first book in a new series about seven paranormal boys imprisoned in a billionaire’s harem. Each book follows a different MM pair as we discover if once they find freedom, can they find love?

Daddy’s New Kitten, by Chara Croft

Deke Jamison has been waiting for his hot neighbor to fall madly in love with him for years.

The day Marshall moved in next door, Deke instantly knew for sure that it was love at first sight. Well, okay… maybe just lust. But since Marshall turned out to be not just be hot, but also super kind and fifty shades of wonderful, the falling-in-love part happened pretty quickly, too. Marshall is everything Deke could ever want in a man, and they’re clearly meant to be together forever.

So why is it taking Marshall so dang long to realize how perfect they are for each other?

Marshall Palmer has been trying to resist the enthusiastic boy next door for years.

But Deke doesn’t make it easy. He may be too young and he’s definitely too vanilla, but he also shares every single one of Marshall’s values and is utterly adorable on top of it. All Deke wants out of life—besides Marshall, which he’s made more than clear because subtle, Deke is not—is to make the world a better place. Between Deke’s endless volunteer work and the energetic determination he brings to helping others, Marshall has no doubt that Deke will manage to do it, too. After all, he’s already made Marshall’s world a better place.

But there’s no way Marshall can ever let their friendship become anything more, not after the way Marshall failed the last boy who claimed to love him.

(LOL, isn’t it cute that Marshall thinks it’s up to him to decide?)

When Deke discovers that the pets up for adoption in the fundraiser Marshall is helping to organize—the one he most decidedly does not want Deke’s help with—aren’t exactly the fluffy cats and dogs Deke expected, he falls down a kinky little rabbit hole and ends up with ears and a tail of his own. And no one can resist an adorable little kitten, right? Besides, everyone knows that cats pick their owners, not the other way around.

And if those owners prefer to be called “Daddy,” Deke has no problem with that. No problem at all.

Daddy’s New Kitten is a gay romance as utterly adorable as Deke is, featuring an age gap, a soon-to-be-ex-virgin who looks amazing with a tail, and a Daddy who’s going to be adopted by his eager new kitten whether he wants it or not. (Spoiler: he wants it.) Deke and Marshall’s story is part of the Daddies for Dollars multi-author series, where every book features a swoon-worthy Daddy, a boy he adores, and a happily ever after helped along by a fundraiser event. Each book stands alone, but with six delicious Daddy pairings to choose from, why not read them all?

Love Song, by Christina Lee

Thirtysomething bandmates, Nolan Metcalf and Ellis Bloom, have been there for each other through thick and thin. So when a life-changing event sends Ellis to the safety of Nolan’s apartment, he’s grateful for the comfort his best friend provides. They’ve never done anything resembling cuddling and sleepovers before, but Ellis finds he needs it just the same.

Soul-deep conversations and tender moments transform into a passion that shocks them both. Since neither has ever entertained the idea of being with another man, they attribute their confusing feelings to their established nightly routine. Determined to spend time apart, they resume their solo lives. But the desperate, achy neediness only returns, and soon enough they’re back in each other’s arms—and beds.

Before they have time to work through it, the real world intrudes. Admitting their secret status would change not only the chemistry of their band but the trajectory of their lives. Plus, their newfound feelings seem as fragile as the beginning notes of a new melody. They’ll need to rely on the solid foundation of their friendship, and even then, it could all fall apart. Will they become a one-hit wonder or a love song that endures the test of time?

Something wicked this way comes…and it might be too late to stop it.

Xander Corey lives simply, sustainably, on the outskirts of Osprey, a small, quaint town in Upstate New York.
