Peaches and Pucks, by M.A. Wardell

One hotel room. One bed. Zero chance of keeping it professional.

Harry
When I agreed to chaperone the boys’ hockey team, I thought my biggest challenge would be pretending to understand the rules—not being stuck sharing a hotel room with Darius Hill. The hockey coach. The human whistle. The man who’s made my Mondays miserable for years.

But somewhere between the bus ride, the tense semifinal, and one very small bed, I start to realize the worst part of Darius Hill might be how much I like him.

Darius
I’ve spent years pretending Harry Peterson doesn’t get under my skin. Easier to tease him than admit I notice everything—his color-coded lesson plans, the cedar-and-coffee smell, that unguarded laugh.

Now we’re stuck sharing a hotel room, and I’m running out of excuses for the way I feel. One bed. One night. And suddenly I can’t decide what’s harder to handle: his endless commentary or how much I miss it when he stops talking.

Peaches and Pucks is a cozy, rivals-to-lovers novella full of banter, heart, and heat—because sometimes love takes a slapshot straight through your defenses.

Courting the Dragon Prince, by Gigi Rivers

Forced to marry for peace. Can two wounded warriors find love with their enemy?

Onyx despises the dragons. They invaded his people’s lands, started the war, and killed his sister. Now, to secure peace, the heir to the Grey Mountains must marry a dragon prince. But of all the princes, why does it have to be him—Prince Luther, a man Onyx hated at first sight? Luther may be handsome, but he is everything Onyx is not: a reckless flirt, a shameless drunk, and utterly irresponsible. Still, Onyx will do his duty and marry a man he despises—for his kingdom and for peace.

But Prince Luther hides a different kind of battle beneath his carefree façade. Haunted by the horrors of war, he tries to drown his pain. And whilst most accept the illusion Luther crafts, Onyx’s sneering gaze seems to penetrate the lies and see the broken mess Luther has become. Luther can’t stand the arrogant, haughty earth elemental. But Luther’s father has commanded he will marry Onyx.

Two warriors, forced together by duty and sacrifice, both carrying the scars of war. Can they overcome hatred and mistrust to find love with each other? Or will their marriage unravel, bringing a return to war and bloodshed?

Chase Hooper Likes It Hot, by Lisa Henry and Sarah Honey

Chase Hooper doesn’t like people, apart from his housemates and his twin brother Cash. He especially doesn’t like the hot guy who stops by Goose Run Gas in the middle of every night to interrupt his nap and tell him how terrible his coffee is.

Lee Torres is a baker, and the best and worst part of his morning is when he stops at the gas station for coffee. The coffee is awful, but the guy serving it is kind of cute, even if he’s blatantly hostile. Still, something keeps Lee coming back for more, and it’s certainly not the stale pastries.

When Chase and Lee are thrown together working at Goose Run’s newest entrepreneurial venture, it’s a chance for both of them to get what they need. For Chase, it means no more night shifts. For Lee, it means running his own bakery. They can both keep it professional, right?

Wrong.

Sparks fly, and things are getting heated in the kitchen, but if Lee thinks he’s going to be allowed past the protective walls that Chase has spent a lifetime building, he can think again. Because Chase Hooper doesn’t do feelings.

If they’re not careful, this could be a recipe for disaster.

Welcome to Goose Run, a small town full of quirky characters, big personalities, and unexpected romances. Just don’t ask about the goose.

Devotion of a Wolf, by CJ Ravenna

A familiar stranger. A forgotten past. A love that defies timelines.

Soren

For as long as I can remember, something’s been missing from my life. When I meet Lyall Eriksson, I realize it was never something I was missing but someone. Lyall is sweet and gorgeous, and our connection is instantaneous. Like we’ve known each other for years.

Because we have. Lyall insists that we had a life together… in the Viking Age.

Oh, yeah, and he’s a Viking werewolf.

My whole life has been a lie, constructed to protect the secrets of the paranormal world. Learning the truth could cost Lyall everything, and I could be forced to forget him, us, all over again.

Despite the risks, Lyall’s determined to remind me of the truth: I’m his mate, and nothing, not even time itself, will come between us again.

Devotion of a Wolf is the third book in the Viking Wolves series, featuring amnesia, second chances, and a hard-won happy-ever-after. This installment can be read as a standalone, but the series is best enjoyed sequentially.

Bear With Me, by Opal Andrews

Dennis
I booked two weeks of peace and privacy at a secluded cabin. So why do I almost immediately come across a naked man holding a fish in his mouth in the stream behind it? Turns out Bjorn is a bear shifter, he’s double-booked in the cabin, and he says I’m his fated mate.

How does he know this? Because once a shifter meets their fated mate, they can’t control their shifts unless and until they’re claimed. And Bjorn definitely can’t control his shifts now. Too bad for him I’m not interested in being set up with a mate by the invisible sky fairies.

Bjorn
I’ve met my mate! Finally, finally. But…he seems weirdly resistant to my charms. Luckily we’re double-booked in this cabin, and there’s only one bed. He’ll have to get close to me whether he likes it or not!

Just as I’m making plans to charm him, I get a phone call from home: someone is very ill, and I need to come home. Except I keep uncontrollably turning into a bear, which means no air travel and I can’t drive myself. So how to get across the country? Apparently, as a passenger in a truck driven by my maybe-mate. But when we get to my home den, things get even more uncomfortable with the input of my pushy-but-affectionate grandmother, a foul-mouthed den alpha, and two parents with sticks up their you-know-whats.

Can I win over Dennis and get my happily ever after, or will I have to choose between staying permanently as either a bear or a man?

Bear With Me is a slow-burn, low-angst MM paranormal romance featuring a sunshiney bear shifter and a grumpy human. Mpreg is not a thing in this universe, nor are a/b/o dynamics. This book is written in alternating third-person POV, with open-door sex scenes.

Bitterfeld, by L.L. Seneca

Carver Novack has spent eighteen years trying to forget about Scott McCaffrey.

He built a hotshot career in private equity. He married a woman who’s just as ambitious as he is, and way more ruthless. He could have run away with the free-spirited Scott the summer after high school — and he wanted to. Instead, he went to Duke and became the man he thought could finally win over his cold WASP parents. They’ve always favored his siblings over him, and despite his best efforts, they still do.

Now Carver is 36, and wildly successful at everything except pretending not to be miserable.

Then an invitation arrives: Carver and his wife Lillian are expected in his hometown of Bitterfeld in Westchester County for his cousin Letty’s lesbian wedding.

Even worse, Letty’s called in a decades-long favor: Scott, now a moderately successful rock guitarist, is providing the music.

Half a lifetime ago, Carver and Scott parted on bad terms. At first they orbit each other with raw tension, but it doesn’t take long for them to start remembering what they had together. And Scott has some questions, like: “Why didn’t you come with me to California?” and “Do you regret that decision the way I do?”

As the weekend drags on, Carver finds himself desperate to make all the wrong choices. Lillian, who’s not only his wife but also his business partner, starts wondering exactly what his problem is. At the same time, old tensions in Carver’s dysfunctionally repressive family are coming to a head. It turns out he has more common ground with his siblings, and more reasons to resent his parents, than he ever knew.

A sharply satirical but deeply felt novel about desire, authenticity, time, and regret. When is it too late to admit the truth? For readers who love second chance romance, repressed WASPs, and unhinged but lovable brats.

The Playboy Searching for Love

Kismet Leawood is a well-known pain in the ass, especially when it comes to his mom. He sleeps with her boyfriends to get her attention, which is pure insanity. Not because it’s unhinged—it never works. Yet, he keeps doing it. He’s lonely. When his half brothers pull away because he’s a troublemaker, he comes up with a plan to hurt his oldest one, Nathan. It goes a little something like this: flirt with Nathan’s biological father, who’s currently in prison. What Kismet doesn’t account for is Ezio getting out from behind bars sooner than expected.

The Ex-Con Longing for Home

Ezio Quintieri has made a lot of mistakes. But he’s fresh out of prison and the first person he wants to see is the cute twentysomething man who kept him figuratively warm at night. Kismet is a tease, and Ezio wants to see him in his pretty panties in real life, not only in a photo.

Frenzied Sparks Become More

Kismet needs to pivot fast. If Ezio or Nathan find out the truth, his world will come crashing down. The more time he spends with Ezio, the more he feels loved and appreciated. With each passing day, the idea of letting Ezio go becomes more daunting.

Can Kismet and Ezio make a relationship work despite the secrets lingering between them?
