Promised Summer, by Rye Cox

Our summers were everlasting… until he broke his promise.

Many seasons have passed since I last saw Ryan. He used to visit Kither Springs in the summer, and though we only had those couple months together every year, he was my best friend… until the day we shared the most earth-shattering kiss over the fields we’d claimed as ours. Then he stopped answering my calls and never returned to town again.

Now, a decade later, he’s back and looking even more breathtaking than in my memories. Feelings I thought I’d gotten over come rushing back.

But Ryan didn’t come back alone.

Karla’s the sweetest little girl I’ve ever met, with beautiful, bright blue eyes, just like her daddy. It wasn’t hard for her to capture my heart, but spending more time with her and her daddy is a bad idea.

I just got out of a relationship, and I’m not looking for a new one, but how do I keep myself from falling for someone who’s already captured my heart once before?

Promised Summer is book 2 of the Promises, Promises series set in a small town with meddling neighbors and a tight-knit community of friends and family. It can be read standalone, but is better read in a series. This book features friends-to-lovers, a single dad, second chances, and playful doggos

Chasing Sunsets, by Amy Aislin

Grant Lilly’s had enough of broken hearts. Sure, Dane still owns his, but that doesn’t mean anything when Dane left him to play hockey once already. Grant has a life and a career in Glen Hill, and he doesn’t need Dane resurrecting old feelings.

Amid Green Mountain summer nights, can Dane and Grant chase the sunset to their happily ever after?

Jamie, by RJ Scott

Burning is control. Craving Killian’s touch is surrender.

Jamie has never claimed to be good. He’s a former hacker, a convicted arsonist, and an ex-con who’s killed just to survive—but he’s found a home at Redcars. The men there aren’t just friends—they’re his brothers. And when the man who held Robbie gives up a name before dying in flames, Jamie uncovers a network of monsters. Rich. Protected. Untouchable. For the people he calls family—for Robbie, who was broken and caged—Jamie would burn the world down and watch it turn to ash to keep them safe.

Only Killian—a lawyer with secrets in his blood and a war room built on vengeance—wants him to wait.

Killian unsettles Jamie in ways he can’t explain. His presence is a spark too close to fuel. The fear, the pull, the heat—it all blurs into something dangerously close to want. Killian doesn’t try to fix Jamie’s broken pieces. And when his steady hands quiet the fire in Jamie’s chest, Jamie doesn’t know whether he wants to fight him… or fall apart in his arms.

Bound by revenge, addicted to control, and drawn to each other in all the wrong ways, Jamie and Killian are on a collision course of pain and need.

The monsters they’re hunting won’t go quietly.

But neither will they.

Jamie is a dark, obsessive MM romantic suspense featuring a man who found silence in fire, and hope in an unexpected touch, combustible attraction, found family, a lawyer with a secret identity who hunts monsters from the shadows—and two men who refuse to let each other self-destruct.

All You Need is Alien Love, by Chloe Archer

An alien invasion and a mysterious Sanctioning Ceremony—what could possibly go wrong?

RIVER

Now that I’m Earth-married to my sexy alien boo, everything should be sunshine and rainbows.

If only.

Instead, the Alliance is preparing for a hostile alien invasion any day now.

Am I stressed about that? Yes.

Am I more stressed about the Iyaran Sanctioning Ceremony that will make my marriage to Kai official on an intergalactic level?

You bet your sweet ass I am!

Kai and I just need to survive all of this so we can go on our super epic honeymoon. I’m not letting anyone or anything mess with that!

KAI

I dream of the day when River and I can finally settle into peaceful wedded bliss.

But nothing in our lives is ever quite that easy.

We need to stop this invasion and find the answers to critical questions. Like what exactly were those medical experiments that were secretly done to me…?

And River and I need to endure the three days of matrimonial hazing—ahem, I mean, traditional rituals of the Iyaran Sanctioning Ceremony.

I should be worried, but I know with River at my side we can face anything the universe throws at us.

All You Need is Alien Love is the fourth book in the Tentacular Tales series and should be read in chronological order. Get ready for: tentacles galore (even some unexpected ones), underwater shenanigans, embarrassing alien rituals, Groxil slime (it makes a useful comeback), Lord Vardox and Captain Starblade (they might just be moving to the next level), surprises (they come in threes), and more Star Trek references than you can shake a phaser at!

Twister, by Kayla Halleur

Now that I’ve graduated college, I’m expected to join the family accounting business even though I hate everything to do with finance.

What’s not expected? Getting stuck in a small town on my way home after a tornado nearly destroys my Jeep, or the lonely single dad and his adorable preteen daughter who offer their spare room for my stay.

Sometimes the most unexpected things can lead to the best life decisions.

Marshall
I’ve put off going home after graduating as long as I can, but there’s no excuses left. My cubicle-filled future is here whether I like it or not.

Until I drive into a huge, terrifying tornado, that is.

Now I’m stuck in a small town while I wait for my Jeep to get fixed. Thankfully, the adorable young girl who survived the twister with me talks her dad into offering me one of their spare rooms, so I don’t have to waste money at the local motel or contend with the gossipy motel owner.

Maybe I should’ve declined the offer, but there’s something about her dad that makes me think he’s desperate for another adult to talk to.

I’m only in town for the week, but that’ll be plenty of time to give him a reprieve from his hectic, but lonely, life. If only he didn’t turn out to be everything I was looking for….

Daniel
My preteen daughter is convinced that I’m sad and lonely, and that my life would be infinitely better with someone to share it with. Even if that was something I wanted to explore, my farm takes up too much time and energy to consider a night out.

Meeting someone new isn’t on my radar at all, until a gorgeous guy literally falls at my feet in his effort to escape the twister that sideswipes the local gas station.

Less than an hour later, my daughter invites him to stay with us while he’s stuck in town.

Maybe I should’ve said no, but there’s something about him that makes me want to help and protect him.

I’ll admit that I find myself wildly attracted to him. If only he wasn’t so much younger than me….

~~~
Twister is a standalone story featuring an overworked farmer who loves his daughter even when she’s trying to set him up with young strangers, a recent college graduate who doesn’t love the idea of spending the rest of his life stuck in a cubicle, and a love story that blossoms in a small town with some very colorful residents.

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.

Casual Felonies, by Kelly Fox

At what point does casually stalking your hot barber become a felony?

Look, I swear I’m harmless. Just a mildly obsessed, extremely hot influencer trying to figure out why my barber-slash-hookup-slash-possible-soulmate kicked me out after the best [redacted] of my life.

As he was shoving me out the door, he muttered something about my dads and a meat hook. I have no idea what he’s talking about. Sure, my dads are… intense. But it’s not like they’d actually kill a man for defiling their son.

Probably.

Anyway, I’m off to slap a super illegal tracker on the hot barber’s car and see what that gets me.

CASUAL FELONIES is book one of The Wildlings, a queer romantic vigilante saga set in the semi-near future, featuring the grown-up kids of the morally gray Guardians. Expect: cousin shenanigans, ethically questionable tech, surprise cameos, vigilante family drama, and the completely unsanctioned defiling of a barber chair.

Hard Count, by Emerson Beckett
Narrated by Michael Dean

A feel good, low angst romance that will make you smile, laugh, and swoon.

Evan Ellis
Evidently, I’m a rule breaker.
The rule I broke? Falling for the straight man with two kids. Didn’t help that he is the Governor of California.
As the starting tight end for the San Diego Storm, you’d think I had better self-control. But there was no avoiding it when our unlikely friendship blossomed, and he unknowingly started flirting back. It was out of my control.
Yes, I want him. But I’m probably the last complication he needs in his life. I was fine being just friends until the tension between us broke, and our lips found one another.
From that point on, I knew one thing. I wanted him more than my next breath, and I’d take him any way I could get him. Even if it meant we were just friends.

Governor Hudson Gatlin
If anyone were to ask me how to fall in love with the most unlikely human and staring tight end for the Storm, the answer would be simple.
Sling your drink all over him at a black-tie fundraiser. And if he just smiles and sends you flirty texts, then he’s yours.
Problem was, as much as I enjoyed his friendship, I found myself wanting more from him. But he didn’t seem to care. He saw the hot mess who needed a friend. And that’s what I thought we were, until we both wanted so much more.
This is our love story and how he found a missing piece of me I didn’t know I’d lost.

Hard Count is book one in the San Diego Storm Football Series. Tropes include: age gap, opposites attract, single dad, long distance love affair, finding love after loss.

Equinox, by Charlie Godwyne
Narrated by Guy Veryzer

Can three men build their love before it’s too late?
Gabriel didn’t plan on waking up naked in Vienna’s Augarten with no memories of his life and a strange ability to detect magic. Before he can process who he is a powerful spirit confronts him and demands that Gabriel return “what he stole”—or face eternal consequences.

As he tries to learn something about his prior life, Gabriel finds himself inexplicably drawn to two very different men: Solomon, the exorcist priest who found Gabriel and Florian, an occultist coffee shop owner whose own tragic past allows him to accept Gabriel even without memories.

Unfortunately, his newfound abilities don’t protect Gabriel from hostile magic. Something is slowly sapping his strength, and a cryptic warning not to give the guardian spirit what she wants takes on a frightening urgency. He scrambles to uncover the truth about his amnesia before he’s taken away from the happiness he’s found and the men he loves.

Equinox is the first in the Augarten series and is an 88,000-word MMM romance with magical realism, an amnesiac willing to try just about anything to remember, a priest with unpriestly thoughts, and lots of espresso.

The Augarten series is now complete and is best listened to in order.

A List of Needs, by Clayton Holt

Macen Alexander is thirty years old and has never had a sexual experience with another man that didn’t leave him feeling inadequate. So inadequate that he keeps a list of all the things he needs experience with. Things that should bring pleasure with another man, but have only made him feel insecure.

Taggert Harris has his life completely mapped out. His friends-with-benefits arrangement more than meets his needs. The last thing he needs is the weird feeling in his chest every time he looks at the man across the bar, and he’ll shut that shit down before the sun comes up.

Macen is looking for confidence with his…list of needs. Taggert isn’t looking for anything. He gives in to the protective feeling burning in his gut, though he senses it’s a dangerous impulse. He’ll give Macen what he’s asking for because the alternative for him could be more dangerous. Their agreement has an end to it, and Taggert is a lawyer; he never breaks an agreement.

Broken Promises, by Oliver Takely

Jason is successful, confident, and unlovable. Living in the heart of Soho with his found family brothers, he masks his trauma with more sass than you can throw glitter at. After love burned him once, he vowed never to let it happen again. One night, one time, no attachments. That’s how he survives and protects his heart.

Patrick knows loss too well. His husband’s sudden death shattered his world, and he believes he’ll never feel that kind of connection again. Then Jason storms into his life. A pint-sized spitfire with haunted eyes. Fifteen years younger than him, a boy who he shouldn’t want but can’t resist. Patrick’s daddy instincts are to hold, to heal, to care, but Jason refuses to be saved.

Their undeniable attraction spans a year of push and pull, as all of Jason’s brothers find their happy endings around him, leaving him with the possibility of being alone, as he has been all his life. When Jason gives into his desire for Patrick, his past mistakes come back to bite him. His ex-husband, a ruthless mob boss, wants him back. And he doesn’t care who gets hurt in the process.
