Love At Frost Sight, by Charlie Novak

Sometimes Love Catches You Out Of Step

Convincing my agent to sign me up for the Come Dancing With Me Christmas special was the best decision I’ve made in years, especially when my partner turns out to be the show’s stunning ‘bad boy’, Nico.

I’m ready to put on my sequins and my dancing shoes, but first I need to figure out how to defrost Nico’s attitude towards me. He seems under the impression that as an ex-boyband superstar I’m going to be a diva, and not even some homemade gingerbread is helping!

But the more hours we spend together in training, the more we begin to connect. Nico might be prickly but he’s the first person who begins to see me as more than my past. And as things heat up on and off the dancefloor, I realise I don’t want to let Nico go.

Our connection is only supposed to be temporary, but can we find a way to make it last forever?

Home Between Homes, by Flynn Woods

They missed their chance in college. Now they’re snowed in together—with one more shot at what could’ve been.

Noah’s goal this Winter was simple: to get away from everyone and everything. So, taking a job as a dog and house sitter in Seastone, a town no one had ever heard of, was a no-brainer. He jumped in his car and drove for ten hours, only to discover that the first person he met was someone from his past.

When Jack approached, it took Noah a minute to remember him from their college days and another minute to get over Jack’s adorable smile. Noah tried not to engage. Their shared past was a cruel reminder of what Noah was trying to escape.

Of course, they kept running into each other: at the gas station, at the grocery store, and even at Noah’s temporary home, where it turned out Jack was the devoted housekeeper. But when the predicted blizzard arrived earlier and worse than expected, they suddenly found themselves snowed in together for an entire week—enough time to explore their pasts… and each other.

Home Between Homes is a sweet and spicy, gay, new adult, friends-to-lovers romance following dog sitter Noah and house cleaner Jack. Expect some unplanned proximity in a small town, lots of snow, a fluffy old dog, shared tears, and a happy ever after. This standalone novella is the second book in the Seastone Seasons series.

The Naughty List, by Ian O. Lewis

This Christmas, love’s coming in hot—and it’s bringing claws.

Farley Davenport is organized to a fault, and his holiday plan was, naturally, itemized:
1️⃣ No men.
2️⃣ No drama.
3️⃣ A gallon of spiked eggnog to erase memories of his cheating ex.

He’s retreated to a cozy cabin in the Blue Ridge Mountains to lick his wounds, alphabetize his emotional baggage, and maybe rediscover a little peace on Earth.

In the cabin next door is Samuel Bennett—the golden boy of daytime television, beautiful, exhausted, and aching for something real. He wanted a few weeks of tabloid-free peace, but fate has other ideas—specifically, a gorgeous man next door with too many walls and a stray cat with no respect for them.

When a blizzard buries them both, things heat up fast. Between shared cocoa, power outages, and one too many “accidental” towel slips, Farley’s list grows longer:
1️⃣ Don’t flirt with the TV star.
2️⃣ Don’t fantasize about the TV star.
3️⃣ Definitely don’t let the TV star crawl into your bed to “keep warm.”

The Naughty List is a steamy, snowed-in gay holiday rom-com packed with sizzling chemistry, laugh-out-loud banter, and enough heat to melt the North Pole. Featuring one grumpy list-maker, one charming TV heartthrob, and a meddling cat determined to play matchmaker, it’s a cozy-and-naughty Christmas escape where love wrecks every carefully made plan.

North would sooner marry a six-pack of beer than settle down with a single person. But everything changes when he meets Elias. If opposites attract, can they also fall in love?

All I’ve ever cared about is enjoying myself to the fullest, preferably with hot frat guys who think a serious commitment is when the pizza guy shows up on time. My motto? Live, laugh, and leave before breakfast.

Imagine my surprise when I fall for Elias, a shy attorney whose idea of a wild night is staying up past ten. He’s everything I never knew I wanted, with his sweet gentleness, meticulous manners, and an endearing tendency to blush whenever I make a naughty joke.

Now, I need to convince Elias I’m not just a party animal but boyfriend material, too. Can I persuade him I’m ready to trade in my beer pong paddle to build a beautiful life with him?

Love Directions is the fifth book in the Good Bad Idea series and part of the Sunnyside universe. It features cute cosmic coincidences, a colorful found family, and the sweetest cinnamon roll who finds love in an unexpected person.

Daddy’s Little Christmas, by Denver Shaw

This Christmas, Daddy gives him the one thing he’s never had—acceptance.

My ex had rules. Rules about the part of me that slips soft and small. No pacifiers. No bottles. No little space. No embarrassing habits when we’re married.

So I packed my duffle bag and drove toward a tiny Vermont town founded by two queer men who refused to keep hiding, and built a haven for people who had never truly fit anywhere else. I only meant to stay for two weeks. Heal a little. Breathe again.

Then I walked into Holly & Pine… and met him.

Graeme Whitlock.

He sees me. Not the version I was scolded into being—the real me. He offers structure instead of control, security instead of shame, and care without conditions.

And suddenly, Winterhaven doesn’t feel like a stop on the map.

It feels like home.

I didn’t plan to fall for the man who makes me feel small in the safest way. Keeping him? That might be the bravest Christmas wish I’ve ever dared to make.

Daddy’s Little Christmas is a small-town Daddy/little holiday romance filled with Christmas lights, gentle caretaking, emotional safety, and slow-burn heat that melts the snow.

Ride Him Home, by Seth Quinn

Ten years of marriage didn’t just end—it imploded. To escape the wreckage, recently divorced Ethan Hayes runs from a life he never truly wanted and straight into the heart of the Montana wilderness.

His plan at the rugged Walker’s Edge Ranch is simple: ride, heal, and figure out who he is without a ghost in his bed. But the plan shatters the moment he lays eyes on Cole Walker. The stoic, jaw-droppingly handsome owner of the ranch, Cole ropes runaway horses with the same steely control he uses to lock down his own heart. He’s a man trapped by a brutal legacy, haunted by a tyrannical father, and completely off-limits. He’s everything Ethan has ever been terrified to want.

Cole has spent a lifetime building walls. He is the unshakable cowboy, the dutiful son, the man who’s never allowed to desire anything for himself. But the raw, quiet vulnerability in Ethan’s eyes ignites a hunger he thought he’d buried for good—a primal, dangerous craving that threatens to burn his carefully constructed world to the ground.

Forced together on a brutal two-week pack trip, every treacherous trail and rain-slicked ledge pushes them closer. Unspoken feelings ignite under starry skies, but Cole’s defenses, built from a lifetime of shame, are as unyielding as the mountains around them. When a catastrophic storm traps them in the unforgiving wilderness, they’re left with two choices: confess the explosive truths that could save their souls, or be buried forever with their secrets.

Ride Him Home is the first book in the Walker’s Edge series. This is a double bi-awakening featuring a brooding, grumpy cowboy and the recently-divorced city boy who cracks his armor. Packed with the high-stakes turmoil of a closeted hero battling internalized homophobia, intense hurt/comfort, and the unbreakable bonds of a found family, this slow burn ignites with scorching high heat. Expect explicit scenes, deliciously filthy dirty talk, powerful Dom/sub undertones, and a life-or-death forced proximity scenario that will leave you breathless. This book ends on a happily-for-now (HFN), but Ethan and Cole’s story is guaranteed a happily-ever-after (HEA) at the conclusion of their trilogy.
