Heal Me, by Beck Grey

Narrated by Gary Furlong

A lawyer and an architect walk into a bar…

Jocelin:
What do you do when your boss pressures you to date her nephew? You create a fake boyfriend. One who works a lot, so he never comes to office functions or meets you for lunch. It was working well until she calls my bluff.

So that’s how I find myself at a client event practically begging a handsome stranger to play said boyfriend. It’s only after I calm down that I realize the hottie in the bespoke suit is my best friend’s brother. I mean, seriously, who knew he cleans up so well?

When Gunnar volunteers to go to yet another work function with me so I can keep up the ruse, of course I say yes. But fake love has very real consequences…

Gunnar:
Being accosted by a flustered glamor boy before I even make it out of the parking lot isn’t how I expect to start the evening. But pretending to be his boyfriend for a few hours seems like a harmless way to liven up an otherwise painful social event.

And as far as dates go, fake or otherwise, I could do a lot worse. Jocelin’s smart, gorgeous, and has a bit of a French accent. Plus, my sister would kill me if I left her bestie hanging.

The evening goes shockingly well — and we must fool the people he works with because we’re invited to a second work function a few weeks later. Effortlessly, our relationship turns real, and for a while, it’s total bliss. Until I unintentionally take a wrecking ball to my life. Again.

Heal Me is a medium-angst, MM fake boyfriend, sister’s best friend, contemporary romance about past trauma, bad decisions, and loving someone including their flaws. It contains no cheating, and a guaranteed HEA.

ILYBSM, by J.E. Birk, Rachel Ember, and Leslie McAdam

Everyone has secrets. I’ve kept some big ones from my two best friends, and I know they’ve got a few of their own. After all, Embry and Adam never told me why they stopped talking to each other the night we graduated college. For my part, I’ve never told them that I’m bi—or that I’ve been in love with both of them for years. I’m also definitely not telling them I’ve mismanaged my family’s tree farm so badly that it’s about to go out of business right before Christmas.

But when I crash off a ladder hanging up holiday lights and break my wrist, they come running like Santa’s elves. They’re both very grumpy about seeing each other again, but I can’t be sorry to finally have an excuse to get them in the same place. Wait until they find out we’re all sleeping in one bed…

At least their feud is put on hold when they discover what a mess I’ve made of my business. Soon the three of us are scrambling to pull off a Christmas miracle and save the farm. And maybe it’s the magic of the holidays, but a whole lot of feelings and long-buried truths are coming to the surface—and our friendship is starting to become something much bigger.

Will we survive the season? Or are all my dreams about to be crushed this Christmas?

ILYBSM is a sweet and steamy contemporary holiday m/m/m polyamorous romance about three former best friends. It stars Jeb, a sweetly oblivious farmer who’s the hottest mess to ever grow trees in Vermont; Embry, a mechanic who can fix any engine but not a relationship; and Adam, a graphic designer and organizational whiz who irons his sheets. It features truths that slip out thanks to homemade eggnog, a demon goat who looks fabulous in a Santa hat, and an unconventional happy ever after.

Moody’s Grumpy Holiday, by Lane Hayes

The geek, the cowboy, and a not-so-grumpy holiday…

Moody
Living in Christmas Town doesn’t make me a fan of the holidays. Quite the opposite. In fact, eleven months of the year, I’m perfectly happy running my bookstore in peace and quiet. Of course, that changes in December when it’s mistletoe madness and mayhem. Ugh.

But this year, there’s a new cowboy in town and it’s not as easy to grumble about…anything. I admit, Hudson is handsome and hunky, but everyone knows I’m not myself till January, so he’ll have to buzz off and charm someone else.

Bah humbug.

Hudson
Moving to California wasn’t in my plans. I could use the change of scenery, though, and Oak Ridge Ranch is a good investment. That’s not a sneaky way of saying I’m hiding from my past—no siree. I’m following a new path to a new town, that’s all.

And so far, so good. Except…my attraction to the nerdy bookstore owner is throwing me off my game.

Look, I’m not interested in anything other than a casual hookup. But Moody is a mystery, and I want to know more about the adorable geek with a sunny disposition who turns into a holiday grump every year.

For some reason, he feels like home away from home. December may be the last month of the year, but something tells me this is our beginning.

Moody’s Grumpy Holiday is an MM grumpy-sunshine, romantic comedy featuring an adorkable geek, a hunky cowboy, and a little seasonal magic.

The Ex in Xmas, by Robin Knight

♥ Christmas Romance
♥ Small Town MM Series
♥ Second Chance at Love
♥ Enemies-to-Lovers
♥ Fake Boyfriend Fiasco

BENJI
Bastian Cole. He’s the ex who broke my heart, the man who up and left without an explanation or so much as a goodbye, just a note saying he was sorry. Seriously? You’re sorry? Yep, in one fell swoop he crushed any joy I had in my soul, ruined my faith in true love, and destroyed the dream we shared of running our very own BnB in Mulligan’s Mill.

That was three years ago, but those shattered dreams are about to turn into my worst nightmare. For not only have my parents, Lonnie and Ronnie, stayed in contact with Bastian all this time. To my utter dismay and anger, I now find out they’ve invited him to spend Christmas with us in Mulligan’s Mill.

While my parents seem utterly clueless to the hurt this man has inflicted upon me, my cousin Connie thinks the best way to get through the festive season is to invent a fake boyfriend. Meanwhile, I seem doomed to spend the worst Christmas of my life with not only my dysfunctional family… but the ex I never wanted to see again… the man I never stopped loving, despite what he did to me.

BASTIAN
When Lonnie and Ronnie invited me to spend Christmas with them in Mulligan’s Mill, the idea terrified me. I knew what Benji thought of me, and who could blame him? I broke his heart, I wrecked his dreams, I torched the perfect romance and walked away as it all went up in flames.

I had my reasons, but would Benji ever understand… would he ever give me a chance to explain… could he ever forgive me?

There was only one way to find out, and that is to return to Mulligan’s Mill. I might be wishing for a Christmas miracle, but maybe, just maybe, Benji and I could reignite the love, the dream, the future we once had. If we can just survive Christmas at the Larsons first.

The Ex in Xmas is the fourth book in Small Town MM Romance series Mulligan’s Mill… a small town with the biggest of hearts!

You Can Do Magic, by R.L. Merrill

Musical prodigy Kallos Alexandrou has played his calliope for countless visitors at Errante Ame’s Carnival of Mysteries, but his one-year residency has come to an end. Scars from a terrible tragedy in his past are the only explanation he has for his loss of speech and memory, but it’s time to move on, so when a music festival sets up next to the carnival, Mr. Ame sends him off with identification, a bottomless billfold, and a set of new clothes. Outside the carnival’s perimeter, Kal finds himself in an unfamiliar world surrounded by strange instruments and vibrant people like nothing he’s ever seen.

Ryan Wells is the troubled and celebrated lead singer of the metal band Backdrop Silhouette. He’s brought more than his share of baggage on the last cross-country Warped Tour, including harsh restrictions placed on him by his parole officer and the band’s label, but it’s the treatment from his bandmates that have him feeling unsettled. After a tough morning, he spots a strange young man playing carnival music on a keyboard backstage, and the sound takes him back to a particularly vulnerable time in his youth. Intrigued, Ryan asks the young man’s name, but he flees only to appear later as a replacement stagehand for the tour.

An invitation from the band Hush to ride on their bus gives Ryan and Kal a welcome distraction. They find the camaraderie and support they’ve both been craving…as well as a little magic and a fresh new romance. But personal secrets and the music business make relationships difficult to maintain, and when the tour ends, Ryan and Kal will have to make a choice: move forward together on an uncertain path, or let fear keep them from trusting that sometimes you really can have everything you desire.

You Can Do Magic is part of the multi-author Carnival of Mysteries Series. Each book stands alone, but each one includes at least one visit to Errante Ame’s Carnival of Mysteries, a magical, multiverse traveling show full of unusual acts, games, and rides. The Carnival changes to suit the world it’s on, so each visit is unique and special. This book contains a Depression-era calliaphone, a Ouija board with a purpose, and tour bus hijinks that will warm your heart and make you gigglesnort.

I’m Not Your Pet!, by Fae Quin

With the way things are going, alien abduction doesn’t sound all that terrible.

Hugo
I’m not saying I’ve thoroughly enjoyed the three years I’ve spent in captivity on a pleasure planet, shaking my money-maker for intergalactic patrons… but, I mean, it hasn’t been all bad. The jelly donuts were a perk. And granted, I didn’t really know what I was signing up for when I agreed to be purchased by the sexy pink shark-man, but things seem to be looking up. Even though we don’t speak each other’s languages, he seems pretty nice—if his sharp-toothed smiles and gentle touches are anything to go by. If only I could get my hands on a translator device so I could ask him what exactly his intentions are. I truly hope I’m not just a pet!

Roark
The moment I set eyes on my fluffy-haired, spotted, little huu-man, sitting so sad in his glass prison, I knew I needed to free him, to make him mine. To rid him of this godawful planet and show him a life outside of gilded cages. But as captain of a space voyager, my missions are dangerous and it will be difficult to keep my small mate safe. He’s so full of life and excitement and curiosity, but he’s also fragile and soft. He must be protected at all costs. And no matter how badly my hearts ache to claim him, I worry if maybe a life with me would just be a different sort of prison.
Find out more in I’M NOT YOUR PET! which is part of the EXTRA! EXTRATERRESTRIAL shared world series with Eryn Hawk, where each book focuses on its own pair and their HEA. While these stories can act as standalones, it is best to read each authors’ books in the order of their publication due to world-building.

I’m Not Your Pet! is a standalone sci-fi alien MM romance with high heat, a HEA, and no cliffhangers. Includes a blossoming romance between a pink alien named Roark and the clever human he rescues. Together these two are hilarious, adorable, and tooth-achingly sweet. If you like funny stories with language barriers, opposites attract, age gap, aliens with interesting anatomy, graphic steam, and the slowest, sweetest of all burns then read on!

What if the man of your dreams dances into your life—and he’s a nutcracker?

Maintenance man, Jed, might yearn for an alpha-femme guy, but where’s he going to find him in his small Oregon town?

New York ballet rising star, Henri, just wants to dance, but his desire for top roles only leads him into the pervy artistic director’s bed.

The chances of these two meeting are less likely than a grand jete. But then they do, one pre-holiday evening in a less-than-one-night stand that leaves them both yearning.

Ice & Sweet, by Charlie Novak

Falling for my crush at my ex’s Christmas wedding? Piece of cake!

Making the cake for my ex-fake boyfriend turned best friend’s wedding the week before Christmas was easy. Carting it halfway across England in the snow was not. Especially not when a blown-out back tyre leads to me coming face to face with my long term crush for the first time in five years.

I’ve known André since his days of boyband superstardom, but since I was supposed to be dating one of his bandmates, I was never able to act on my feelings. But now we’re both single and stuck in a hotel for the weekend with our interfering friends who seem determined to push us together.

But maybe André and I don’t need a push. Maybe all we need is a chance to see if the spark we felt all those years ago is still there.

After all, it is Christmas. And that means anything could happen.

Heart of a Wolf, by CJ Ravenna

How to get over a breakup:
1: Go to Iceland
2: Get sent back in time
3: Get abducted by a hot, moody Viking werewolf
The tour guides sure didn’t prepare me for this…

Kieran

After my boyfriend cheats, my best friend spirits me away to Reykjavik for a scenic getaway. I think this may be just the escape I need to get over the jerk.

What was supposed to be a beautiful boat cruise ends in chaos when I find myself transported to the age of the Vikings. Before I can catch my breath, I’m taken captive by Wulfric, a powerful and terrifying Viking warrior. But he’s not just a fearsome fighter. He and his clan are Ulfhednar, wolf shifters.

Humans are the natural enemies of Wulfric’s pack and the longer I linger in his time, the more dangerous my already precarious situation becomes. Despite our mutual dislike, Wulfric vows he will keep me alive until I can return to my time… but only if I let him claim me as his mate.

Turns out, there’s a thin line between love and hate. Passion erupts, burning hot enough to melt the glaciers. As I see a soft and loving side to this strong, wounded warrior, I begin to wonder just where it is I call home.

Can Wulfric’s past be my new present?

Heart of a Wolf is book 1 in the Viking Wolves series and features enemies-to-lovers, mating of convenience, a dash of time travel, mental health rep (PTSD and GAD), and a happy-ever-after.

Sea Kissed, by Spencer Spears

The last thing I expected to get for Christmas was kidnapped…

Ari: I also didn’t expect to escape, get amnesia, and wash up on a reclusive millionaire’s private beach.

I didn’t expect that millionaire to turn out to be insanely-hot, ex-actor Holden Amundsen, who fled Hollywood years ago after a scandal.

And I definitely didn’t expect famously straight Holden Amundsen to not be quite so straight after all—at least not when he’s in bed with me.

Talk about holy nights…

But when pictures of us kissing end up online, more than Holden’s reputation is at stake. Holden promises he’ll protect me when my kidnappers come calling, but I’m more worried about my heart.

Holden says what we have can’t last, but I know love when I feel it. So how do I convince him that we’re a Christmas miracle worth fighting for?

Sea Kissed is a 100,000-word, holiday-themed gay romance novel, with secret celebrities, amnesia, and fairytale magic.

The Tenor’s Shadow, by J.B. Warrick

One temperamental opera singer. One vampire bodyguard. Let the sparks and secrets fly.

Anthony wouldn’t let anything stand in his way.

His career as an operatic tenor was finally taking off, and he would be damned if he let some stalker keep him from his globe-hopping musical dreams. But he had made the mistake of telling his uncle about the threatening letters the creep had been leaving in his hotel room.

Now he was saddled with a muscle-bound bodyguard who was seriously cramping his love life, even if the guy did have a swoony accent and the perfect number of freckles. No matter what Anthony did, he couldn’t get rid of the stubborn redheaded Brit. Freddie just didn’t fit in with his glamorous life of encores and galas and schmoozing. And how did the man never sleep?

Freddie was there to do a job.

Or maybe a few. He had been content as head of security for the Hughes vampire coven in London. But now he’d been sent to America to keep his coven master’s nephew safe from the threat of a rival coven. He knew the rules. Anthony couldn’t find out about the existence of vampires, and he certainly couldn’t find out that Freddie was one. Plus, he had to manage Anthony’s demanding personality, and Freddie was painfully bad with people. And he absolutely one-hundred-percent had to keep himself from hooking up with the overbearing American.

When friction erupts into steamy passion, can Freddie and Anthony forge a relationship together? Or will Freddie’s secrets and the deadly vampires of the Azarian coven tear them apart?

The Tenor’s Shadow is a 50,000-word MM vampire romance with a guaranteed HEA and no cliffhanger. It contains a strong-but-silent vampire bodyguard and the high strung opera singer that falls fast for him. It also contains steamy scenes and the violence you might expect from a vampire story.

Isaac doesn’t believe in magic, but when the incantation causes a demon to show up in his bedroom through a puff of smoke, he may have to reassess his beliefs.

The beautiful yet arrogant menace holds the key to all of Isaac’s desires, but apparently, the morally grey don’t work for free.

Amadeus, ‘Ash,’ is growing weary of his usual mischief and mayhem, and is in need of some thrilling venture to sink his fangs into. When he finds himself summoned to the human realm by a delightfully desperate florist, it’s as if fate has dropped an entertaining new endeavour into his lap. Luring the innocent man into his bed would be one way to cure his boredom, so what’s the harm in pretending it’s part of the deal?

What Ash doesn’t expect is to feel compelled to heal the defeated creature, and discover that doing so might just fill the void in his soul.

Could this accidental summoning turn into the perfect arrangement? Or is the road to happiness paved with malicious intentions and wilted blooms? There’s one way to find out.

RAISING THE SUN is a standalone MM romance with size difference, flower shows, and magic spells. It features a sassy phoenix-demon contracted into helping a human realise his worth and a self-conscious florist who is struggling to keep his crumbling business afloat.
