Pretty Mess, by Lily Morton

Kiss him, sleep with him, but don’t ever fall in love with him.

The first time Wes Archer steps into Jack of Clubs, an exclusive London pleasure club, he’s completely confident he can heed the tried-and-true advice about becoming an escort. Wes gives himself away for free with casual hookups all the time. Why not make some cash doing what he already loves? And cash is something he desperately needs. His brother’s gambling addiction has taken their family’s home, saddled Wes with insurmountable debts, and compromised his chances for finishing his degree.

Accepting an offer to spend a few hours of fun with a rich bloke will be a simple business transaction, right?

Wrong.

Wes’s first client is Cormac Reilly. The handsome billionaire is grumpy, funny, and commanding in a way that unlocks desires Wes never knew he had. Cormac is icily determined to keep their arrangement strictly business, but that doesn’t stop Wes from finding him fascinating.

As their one-night contract becomes something much more, Wes can’t deny he’s falling for his client. He knows he’s flouting all the rules, but breaking down Cormac’s barriers is an irresistible challenge, and his reward might be the best prize of all — love.

From bestselling author Lily Morton comes a passionate love story set in London and Paris about two astonishingly different men and one very pretty mess.

Cowboys Can’t Kiss, by R.M. Neill

Riley Benton

Cowboys break hearts. It’s a known fact.

But my career as a romance planner has me moving back to my hometown of Kissing Ridge—a town so full of cowboys you can’t enter a room without bumping into a Stetson. And I don’t date cowboys. Not that it matters. I build romance for others… not myself.

There’s no way I’m falling for a steer wrestler with a sinful smile and awkward rambles.

I’ve already had one cowboy break my heart. I don’t intend to make it two.

Jackson Sutherland

Riley Benton is all my daydreams brought to life.

And despite that fact, he doesn’t make me self-conscious when my mouth runs away with me and I blurt out random things. I’m pretty sure he thinks I’m cute, too.

We have a connection, and if he’d just let himself accept it and move past the friend zone, we could be beautiful together. But he’s more stubborn than a steer who hates the wash rack.

I’m used to working hard for what I want, but how do I convince him to risk his heart and kiss another cowboy?

Cowboys Can’t Kiss is book one in the Kissing Ridge Cowboy series. It features a hopelessly romantic, but awkward cowboy and a guarded former escort turned romance planner who thinks the friend zone will keep his heart safe. A friends to lovers story with a unique first “date” and all the found family you wish you had can be found in Kissing Ridge. Pass the hummus and remember to look up when the stars are out.

The Banning of the Bath Bombs, by AJ Sherwood, and Devon Vesper

Turns out bath bombs are actually magical portals. Or at least, in the hands of Master Mage Declan, they became portals. Even he’s not sure why.

Said magical portal connects to Ross’s bath tub.

Which means this is also now the Unholy Trifecta’s problem because Ross absolutely refuses to deal with portal magic by himself. Thanks muchly.

The Care of Broken Things, by October Arden

Some loves rewrite your sentence.

Samuel has spent years building walls. Not the prison’s concrete ones, but the kind that keep lives from bleeding into each other. The inmates call him The Ice Queen—a title he wears like armor. After a lifetime of being preyed upon, he knows better than to let anyone close.

Then Eli arrives like sunlight through bulletproof glass.

A wrongfully convicted pediatrician. Gentle. Kind. Everything Samuel’s learned to avoid. But when Samuel steps in to protect him, it’s supposed to be a one-time act of mercy.

Eli’s husband has another plan.

Nathaniel—who looks at Samuel like he’s something more than a convict—makes a request that changes everything:
Be his prison husband. Love him where I can’t.

Samuel agrees. He’s good at pretending. But the more he plays the role, the harder it is to stay cold. Eli’s warmth seeps in. Nathaniel’s quiet steadiness cuts deep. And the whispered trust of Eli’s daughter is the most fragile thing Samuel’s ever held.

Now, the man who survived on silence is hoarding their love like contraband.

A dark, literary MMM romance filled with found family, prison walls, obsessive devotion, and the kind of love that breaks you open.

Perfect for fans of Captive Prince, Wolfsong, and The Foxhole Court.

If you’ve ever felt too broken to be loved—this is for you.

Noah

So why is my newest client such a temptation? I’ve never met anyone who affects me like he does, and the more I learn, the more I want to know. But will he ever show me everything?

Pierre Before Bill, by Patrick Doyle

A story about coming of age queer. About love between men. About fathers and sons. About longing, fulfillment, heartbreak, and joy.

After yet another fight with his father, Pierre leaves home. He doesn’t plan on leaving, but on his way to school the next day he doesn’t get off the bus. Still in his uniform, he goes to the end of the line, sticks out his thumb, and takes the first ride. He doesn’t see himself as a runaway, more as a wanderer. He’s heading to, not from. To what, he doesn’t know. His ignorance of the world has been imposed. His self-assurance is all his own. The only thing he knows to be true is his attraction to men.

This is his story. From boy to man. From the 70s to the 90s. From the backwoods to the whole wide world. From pining after an elusive loner to later, much later, meeting a single dad. For nearly twenty years we watch Pierre grow from a teenager afraid of nothing to a man who’s learned one thing: he’s better off on his own. Life begs to differ.

Pierre Before Bill is the latest installment in the Pierre & Bill series. And the beginning of the story. In Pierre & Bill: A Love Story, we meet Pierre and Bill in their prime. In Pierre & Bill Now, we follow them as they age. Now, in Pierre Before Bill, we discover Pierre before he meets Bill or Danny or Ruth or Liam. And we find out what makes him who he is: cocksure, determined, and impossible not to love.

Playing Dirty, by CE Ricci

Our rivalry formed long before we became siblings.

Madden Hastings has been my nemesis since the day we met.

A divide was born from the age-old rivalry between our universities, but this year, another layer developed. It became personal.

Because the captain of Blackmore’s baseball team?

He’s also my new step brother.

My disdain for the sudden blending of our families leads to more conflict, and despite their efforts to force us together, coexisting proves impossible.

But something else starts burning beneath my bitterness and resentment; an attraction as unexpected as it is potent.

And when the chemistry becomes too powerful to deny, our already complicated relationship gets even messier.

Because a forbidden fling is one thing, but falling for the enemy?

It forces me into a choice I never wanted to make.

One between loyalty to my team, or the love of my life.

*Playing Dirty is the fourth in a five book standalone college sports romance series featuring two rivalry-fueled step brothers, a cut-throat game of capture the flag, and sexual tension that oozes off the page. Not suitable for anyone under 18 years of age.*
