Merrick, by Kate Hawthorne

Ink and Ember is open for business.

As an oldest son who never knows when to stop talking and can only judge his worth by how he performs, Merrick has grown up to be a talented tattoo artist and skilled painter. He’s also in the habit of spending his weekends hooking up with strangers, advertising himself on hookup apps for free use.

On one of those nights, he meets a handsome dominant, Wilder. Their fling at the club turns into a late night in bed, an early morning in the kitchen, and a promise for more. Wilder wants more than Merrick is ready to offer, but Wilder is patient and Merrick is beyond willing. It takes no time at all for the two men to embark on a relationship of self-discovery, learning not just each other but also themselves.

As they settle in together, Merrick’s old self-judgment and doubt begin to creep in, threatening to undo all the progress he and Wilder have made. Is Wilder’s belief in Merrick enough to get them through, or will they end up back where they started?

Quiet and alone.
—
Merrick is a low-angst, high-heat romance from Kate Hawthorne. A spinoff of the successful Risk Aware series, the Ink and Ember books are short, spicy, and straight to the point (which in, this case, is bed).

The Lost Art of Seducing a Mage Warrior, by Ellie Ash

Perian’s visit to the royal city is proving to be a lot more than he bargained for when he’s faced with a bossy little girl, a very opinionated horse, and only one bed to share with a handsome Mage Warrior.

Perian’s life is transformed utterly when powerful Mage Warrior Brannal saves him from an attack, then brings him back to the castle and straight to his bed… to recuperate. As Perian heals, desire flares hot between them, and Brannal asks him to stay longer. Perian starts to think this could be the start of something wonderful.

Only it turns out that Perian might be stepping on more toes than he realizes. That angry redhead who doesn’t like him? Second in command of the Mage Warriors. Renny, the little girl hiding in the garden whom he befriended? Her secrets could endanger both of them. And Brannal? He isn’t just the Mage Warrior who rescued Perian—he’s the head of the Mage Warriors.

Perian can’t fight to save his life (literally—Brannal had to do that), he doesn’t have a lick of magic, and he doesn’t have any responsibilities. Could someone as ordinary as him really find a place in the castle with such an extraordinary Mage Warrior?

The Lost Art of Seducing a Mage Warrior is a 90K cozy MM fantasy romance with plenty of steam. Told in single POV, it features a HFN for a lonely young man and the powerful Mage Warrior who rescues him—as well as a stubborn little girl, a horse with an attitude, and meddling friends.

Blade, by Shaw Montgomery

Hunting The Beast of Bladenboro was supposed to be foolproof. It wasn’t a sentient creature I could have coffee with or chat with online. It wasn’t running an online jewelry store or complaining about how humans ruin the national parks. It wasn’t even on the list for the Solstice Festival.

It should’ve been a real monster I could save people from.

It wasn’t.

Somehow I had the worst luck of any monster hunter ever…and getting trapped in my own net was just the start. Things might be improving, though, as long as I can count finding my murder kitty, saving my mate from being trapped forever, and falling in love…yeah…things might be improving. Fingers crossed.

Enter the Legends world, where National Parks hold secrets—and monsters steal hearts.
Blade is an MM standalone fated mates romance in the Legends series featuring a monster hunter with terrible luck and an even worse family, a beast in need of a rescue and a few explanations, a slow burn romance with some restraints thrown in for fun, and lots of questions.

Bonded to Leo Caparucci, by Cali Kitsu

Make 1 an openly bisexual mafia prince.
Make 1 a “perfect” Catholic cowboy.
Now, make them stepbrothers and force them to work on a ranch in the middle of nowhere.

Carter
I’ve worked hard my entire life to be the person that everyone expects me to be, the perfect son and the perfect little Catholic, bound by the rules and expectations of others. But underneath those masks, I crave someone I can never have, a relationship that goes against God’s law, and the freedom to live the way I want.

After years of shoving my feelings down, I’ve finally gotten to a place where I don’t even consider them any longer.

Until the night he showed up and ruined everything.

My stepbrother, Leo Caparucci, is the opposite: a walking nightmare, a spoiled, self-centered, openly bisexual mafia prince who couldn’t care less about others, and he just became my biggest problem.

Leo
I shouldn’t even be here.

The plan was always for me to be named the next Don of my family, but somehow I ended up on my dad’s cattle ranch in the middle of nowhere, stuck with my bratty stepbrother.

Carter Montagna is hot as hell, smart and self-confident…well, at least that’s the image he tries to project, but I see right through his perfect cowboy persona. Underneath the façade, there’s a man starved for affection, too concerned with pleasing others to act on his own desires.

But there’s more beneath the surface, and if anyone is gonna crack that mask he’s wearing—it’s gonna be me.

Bonded to Leo Caparucci is a spicy, slow-burn, stepbrothers, grumpy/sunshine, enemies-to-lovers, cowboy/mafia romance with forced proximity, banter, and lots of heat.

Power Play Clash, by Christie Gordon

Sharing a hotel room with the owner’s son is a mistake. Hooking up with him? Worse. Falling for him in secret? Game over.

Alex
As captain of an NHL team, I can’t afford distractions.
Not when the season is starting.
Not when everyone is counting on me.
And definitely not when the distraction is Julian Mercer—our owner’s spoiled, sharp-tongued son, who walks into the rink knowing nothing about hockey and somehow gets under my skin anyway.
He’s reckless, infuriating, too pretty for his own good… and impossible to stay away from.
He’s supposed to be off-limits.
Instead, he’s in my bed.
What starts as tension turns into late nights, stolen touches, and something I can’t shut off.
But I’m not out, and if his father finds out, I could lose everything I’ve worked for.
Including him.

Julian
I took this job to prove I’m more than Grant Mercer’s son.
I didn’t come here to embarrass myself in front of the team captain, or end up craving every heated glance, every secret touch, every stolen night with him.
He’s controlled, guarded, and impossible to read.
Until we’re alone.
Because behind closed doors, he gives me everything, except a future.
And the longer we stay in the shadows, the more I realize…
If Alex makes me choose between walking away and fighting for him, I won’t go down without a clash.

Power Play Clash is book 2 in the Desert Elite Hockey series. It features a closeted captain, the owner’s son, secret hookups, forced proximity, emotional tension, and a high-stakes MM romance where one choice could cost them everything.

It Might Be Hot, by Ariella Zoelle

I always “joked” about getting my straight best friend to switch teams since college. Imagine my shock when he finally asks me to be his sexual awakening tour guide. Who knew Mr. Straight-Until-Yesterday would be such an overachiever in the bedroom?

I’ve turned pining after my best friend into an Olympic sport, winning gold medals in “Disguising Heartbreak as Humor” and “Pretending I’m Joking When I’m Not.”

For years, I’ve watched Lachlan cycle through women who see dollar signs instead of his smile. I’ve been there with ice cream and bad movies after every breakup, secretly hoping he’d notice the one person who’s always valued him for more than his wallet.

Then the impossible happens. Fresh off another gold-digger disaster, he asks if I’d show him what he’s been missing. Cue me trying not to faint while playing it cool.

This is my chance to prove I’m not just his funny gay friend but potentially the love of his life. Operation “Make Him Forget Straight Was Ever an Option” is officially underway, and I’m bringing every trick in my arsenal to rock his world.

Let’s see if I can turn his experimental phase into being exclusively mine for real.

It Might Be Hot starts the Suntastic Fun duet. This friends-to-lovers novella follows one man’s joyful bisexual awakening with his best friend teaching him about true love. Each book offers a satisfying happy ever after without cliffhangers and can be read alone but is best when read as a series.

It Might Be Hot was originally published as Like It’s Hot for the Red Hot Summer M/M giveaway. A new epilogue has been added for publication.

Heart Over Heels, by Quinn Cameron

THEY WANT LOYALTY. I’LL GIVE THEM HELL.

I know how to follow orders. It’s what got me through the Marines, and it’s what’s kept me alive working security at the Basilica casino. Keep my head down, enforce the rules, don’t ask too many questions. It’s not the future I planned after getting injured in combat, but it’s steady, and it keeps me in Antonella Rossetti’s good graces. As long as I don’t rock the boat, I’ll be fine.

Then I find my coworkers roughing up a performer from The Devil’s Dollhouse, and I make a decision I can’t take back—

I stop them.

The demon, Darby, tells me I should leave the Basilica’s gilded cage and go to work at the Dollhouse. I refuse, but when Antonella finds out about my act of mercy, she gives me a new order: take the job and use my position to feed her intel on what’s happening behind the Dollhouse’s doors.

Now, I’m straddling two worlds. By day, I’m Antonella’s loyal soldier. By night, I’m sinking deeper into the Dollhouse’s thrall, enamored with a demon who lures me toward a ruin I might not resist.

Wonder Boy: Owned, by Calan Mercer

He came for the job. He left owned.

Alex Mercer was supposed to be untouchable: the golden heir to his family’s powerful Los Angeles law firm, two years of associate experience under his belt, dispatched to Las Vegas to bring the chaotic Global Combat League to heel.

Instead, he met Jack Doyle.

Compact. Battle-hardened. Close-cropped dark hair just beginning to gray. The cold, calculating stare of a man who built an empire from nothing and never learned how to lose. One command from across the desk and Alex’s perfectly tailored world began to unravel — jacket, tie, shirt — every step an exit offered and refused, every refusal a choice Alex made with open eyes.

What started as an interview ended with Alex stripped bare on Jack’s desk, claimed so thoroughly he could still feel it weeks later. What started as a contract became something neither of them had a name for. And what started in Las Vegas wasn’t going to stay there.

Then his father found out.

Richard Mercer has been building his son since he was eight years old, and he did not build him to belong to somebody else. The price of saving Jack’s league is Alex himself. And when a father sets out to remove the part of you that can love a man, he does it slowly, and he calls it love the entire time.

By the time Jack calls again, Alex is the best attorney in the sport, and there is nobody home behind his eyes.

His father built him. Jack owned him. And the worst part? Alex let him.

A dark MM romance about power, possession, and the cost of being chosen by a man who doesn’t share what he claims.

Book One in the Global Combat League trilogy. No HEA in this installment — the story continues in Reclaimed and resolves in Kept.

Bowie, a vampire cursed to a life of endless nights, maintains close ties with his human family. When young girls in their village go missing, he must act quickly. But to find them, he’ll need to convince the local werewolf pack to loan him their best tracker—a wolf known as the Mongrel.

Though he hates the slur, Andras is used to being called Mongrel. When Bowie refuses to refer to him by anything but his given name, Andras can’t help a flicker of unexpected trust toward the stranger. He volunteers to help Bowie, risking banishment.

Can two tenderhearted men overcome their traumatic pasts and work together to rescue the girls before it’s too late? Or will the world’s most prolific killer snuff the flames of their passion along with the lives of the captives?

***

This steamy love story spans the country of Hungary as Andras and Bowie journey through cities and wilderness on their quest to right a villain’s wicked wrongs. Mongrel features a sweetly possessive werewolf, a cinnamon roll of a vampire, and the worst killer in history. A surprisingly fluffy MM Paranormal/Historical Romance considering the subject matter.

HEA guaranteed with loads of laughs along the way and no cliffhanger ending!

His Holy Chaos, by Roan Solano

Jude Piaf has a talent for self-destruction. A year after his last dynamic ended and took everything with it — his community, his joy, his appetite for living — he’s still picking up the pieces. He swore off kink. He swore off Daddies. He swore off feeling anything that could be taken away.

Then Ford Ridden walks into BratWorld in a button-down shirt and ruins everything.

Ford is fifty-three, composed, and certain of exactly one thing: he does not do brats. He has a daughter to raise, a choir to direct, and a life built on structure and discipline. He has no room for chaos.

Jude is chaos.

But somewhere between a church choir, a kneeling cushion, and a vestry floor, Ford stops running from what he wants — and Jude starts believing he deserves it.

His Holy Chaos is a slow-burn MM Daddy/boy romance featuring an age gap, domestic discipline, explicit scenes, and a love story about learning that devotion isn’t weakness. It’s everything.

You can read the series in any order! Books aren’t related to each other, they only have the same trope: a stern Daddy and a delightful bratty boy.

Solan, by Becca Seymour

Getting a boner for the monster who saved us shouldn’t make sense in any universe. But here we are.

When a piece of Earth gets ripped into a monstrous new world, I barely have time to panic before I’m fighting for my life—and for Jamie’s. Terrafeara isn’t just dangerous; it’s a nightmare brought to life, where humans like us are hunted, enslaved, or worse.

Then there’s Solan. A beast of a warrior with horns I want to ride, fangs I want to lick, and a body built for war—and for wrecking me. He swears he’ll protect me, but his idea of protection comes with possessive touches, growled promises, and a claim I’m not sure I can resist.

But I don’t have time for this. I have a kid to keep safe. And with monsters, mercenaries, and power-hungry rulers after us, staying alive is hard enough. The only way to survive is to trust Solan, trust the rebels, and trust this connection between us that’s stronger than fear.

Because in a world designed to break us, maybe love is the sharpest weapon of all.

Bless This Hot Mess, by Charlie David

Hilarious, campy, musical and moving, this book provokes you to ponder: If I steal a few hearts, can I still get into Heaven?

When a failing radio station’s morning show starts stealing, sampling and remixing ‘90s pop songs in a Hail Mary attempt at attracting an audience, virtuous virgin Japheth is forced to team up with Rino, a dangerously charming Italian car dealership heir with advertiser dollars to spend and maybe-mafia vibes, and their enemies-to-lovers romance threatens to become the station’s biggest scandal and its only salvation.

At WWJD Radio in Greater Napanee, salvation is off script. The phones are ringing off the hook, the fax machine is spitting out cease-and-desist letters from every boy band of the ’90s, and Trinity, the trio of accidental evangelists, are stealing pop songs “for the Lord.”

There’s Rebekkah; the breathless true believer who, though 30, still refers to herself as an ingénue. Her best friend Japheth; virtuous and still virginal. Ronald: poly, pan, and building an ark in his backyard.

Together with Carrington (part receptionist, part stylist, part chaos incarnate), Suwarna (HR, in charge of keeping her new station owner alive and not ‘disappeared’), and everyone’s new boss, Emma-Lou (an heiress with a talent for panic and bangs that weren’t her idea) they’re keeping WWJD barely afloat.

Until it burns down. Literally.

Their only shot at salvation comes from Rino Ferrari: a devastatingly charming Italian car-dealership heir with too much money, too many secrets, and maybe a little mafia energy. Unfortunately for Japheth (romantic mess and professional overthinker), Rino is also the last person he wants to need… and the first person he can’t stop thinking about.

As scandal, suspicion, and undeniable chemistry collide, Japheth and Rino tumble from enemies to lovers in a rom-com where faith is flexible, temptation is tailored, and the guy you’re supposed to hate is the one who makes you feel alive.

Is local car dealer Rino Ferrari a mobster, or just a surprisingly generous Christian with body bags of money to give away? Why did Emma-Lou’s parents really “disappear” in the Bermuda Triangle? And will Trinity rebuild a new station on a floating ark, or sell out to dirty money for fame, tote bags, and a studio album?

Outrageously funny, shockingly tender, and just heretical enough, Bless This Hot Mess will jump-start your heart.
