First Shift, by Lisa Linden

When the biggest risk is playing it safe.

Stormhawks’ Captain Griffin Lapierre has spent sixteen years as an elite NHL player—and sixteen years in the closet. Traded to the Portland expansion team, he’s determined to redeem his career while keeping his sexuality hidden. But now that’s more of a challenge than ever.

Wesley Hutton knows the cost of a secret romance. After a devastating scandal destroyed his last job, he’s repaired his reputation as the Stormhawks’ PR manager. He can’t repeat past mistakes, even if Griffin is too tempting to ignore. Getting involved with a player—especially a closeted one—isn’t just forbidden, it’s professional self-destruction.

One kiss ignites an attraction neither can deny. As their clandestine relationship deepens, Griffin realizes that hiding is costing him more than honesty ever could. But coming out means risking it all—his captaincy, the career he’s built, and the team’s dynamic.

An impulsive moment changes everything, and Griffin faces an impossible choice: keep his sexuality secret and watch Wesley lose his job, or come out publicly and potentially lose everything else.

With a closeted captain and a forbidden attraction, First Shift delivers a high-stakes MM hockey romance about taking the shot that matters most.

Shifting Sands, by Joy Lynn Fielding

The man sent to learn his secrets is the one he can’t resist.

Bryce Reynolds knows trouble when it steps onto pack land in a tailored suit. Tom Barrington, the Shifter Council’s envoy, is observant, perceptive, and way too competent for Bryce’s peace of mind. Tom moves like someone who could be dangerous if he chose, and Bryce notices that in a way he really wishes he didn’t.

Tom keeps telling himself he’s only here to work. But Bryce is warm and generous, and every smile knocks another crack in the walls Tom built after losing everything he loved. Then there’s the low voice, teasing eyes, and that damn belt buckle…

What should have been a tense few days of observation turns into late-night conversations, quiet understanding, and a pull neither of them can shake. But the wrong choice could cost Bryce’s pack its safety, and Tom the professional integrity he refuses to compromise.

And when the secret Bryce’s pack is hiding finally breaks open, everything shatters. They’re dragged into a deadly pursuit through Washington’s shadows. To have any chance at whatever this is between them, they’ll first have to survive.

Each book in the Strength of the Pack series is a standalone romance with its own HEA. An overarching plot runs through the series.

The Lies That Bind, by K.C. Wells and Parker Williams

Mason has always known one truth: as an omega, his life is never fully his own.

So when two struggling wolf packs decide to merge, and promise Mason in marriage to secure the deal, he knows exactly what waits for him. A future owned by a man who sees omegas as property, not people.

For the first time, love feels safe—until Mason is attacked and left for dead.
As danger closes in and secrets refuse to stay buried. Mason’s bond is tested by blood and fear, and survival is no longer guaranteed.

And Kip?
He’s been hiding something powerful—something that could change everything between them.
If it doesn’t destroy them first.

Don’t Feed the Vampire, by Grae Bryan

Riley has been alone in the woods for a long time. Turned as a child, he’s hungrier and more fractured than the average vampire, and staying clear of humans is his safest bet. His moms think a mate could help him stabilize, but it’s unclear whether Riley has one, anomaly that he is. Until a new baker arrives in town, smelling so sweet and so perfect that Riley can barely stop himself from eating him up on the spot. Now it’s no longer a question of whether Riley has a mate, but whether Riley can pretend to be less of a monster long enough to woo him.

Romance has never been Seth’s priority. He’s always been more focused on family and friendships and his passion for feeding delicious baked goods to whoever will take them. So it’s odd that this too young, too quiet, too beautiful man keeps showing up at Seth’s door, looking at Seth like he’s something special instead of painfully ordinary. And it’s even more odd that Seth can’t keep his own boundaries straight or his hands to himself. And it’s maybe oddest of all that Seth is coming to feel like Riley’s unnerving, unwavering attention is something he might not be able to live without.

Don’t Feed the Vampire is a heated MM paranormal romance with a HEA and no cliffhanger. It contains a broken, sweetheart vampire with zero social skills; a ray of sunshine human baker; fated mates and the vampire mothers determined to protect them; and a mysterious research institute raising everyone’s suspicions. Each book in this series will focus on a different couple.

The Art of Becoming, by Violet Sallow

Arthur wasn’t looking for a savior.

Johannes wasn’t looking for a weakness.

Arthur learned early that being seen could be dangerous. After a past marked by control and emotional abuse, disappearing felt safer than dreaming, loving, or trusting again.

Johannes is used to power, loyalty, and fear. A man who protects what is his — and keeps the rest of the world at a careful distance. Falling in love was never part of the plan.

When their paths cross, attraction comes easily. Trust does not.

As Arthur rebuilds himself through art and begins to reclaim his voice, Johannes must learn the difference between protection and control — and decide how much he is willing to risk for something real.

Together, they’ll discover that sometimes, becoming yourself means unlearning everything you were taught to survive.

An emotionally intense M/M romance about healing, desire, and the courage it takes to choose love.

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.

Final Edit, by E.M. Denning

Lukas Knight has built his empire up from nothing. A bad home life and a grim future saw to it that his options after high school were limited. Enter a man with a pocketful of promises for a better life. Glitz. Glamor. Family. And every one of those promises was a lie.

Now, years later, Lukas has moved on from being an adult entertainer to owning his own studio. He no longer performs, but he directs, he edits, and does everything else. He has a story to tell, but the same roadblock that existed when he was a struggling student hasn’t gone away. Even if he has learned to work around his dyslexia, he’s not equipped to do the one thing he wants the most—to write his book and tell his story.

Sawyer Brown is the family disappointment, even though he’s a university graduate and published author. Sawyer is proud of what he’s accomplished, even if his parents aren’t. Besides, he has people like his former professor, Charles Thurston, who believes in him enough to recommend him for a freelance job. Ghostwriting a memoir for an actor.

Sawyer leaps at the opportunity and maybe he should have asked a few questions first, because Lukas wasn’t on Broadway and he didn’t work in Hollywood. Lukas starred in adult films.

The longer Sawyer and Lukas work together, the closer they become. Through quiet conversations, they share past hurts and hopes for the future. And if Sawyer happens to want to kiss Lukas, well… he’d be okay with that. And if Lukas were to kiss him back, that would be okay too.

Final Edit is the first book of the Lights, Camera, Love series that follows Lukas Knight and his performers as they fall in love, one by one. The series contains the same low angst, sweet spice that you’re used to from E.M. Denning, plus a lazy dog named Lara, an assistant with a crush, and addictive side characters who eventually get their own happy endings.

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?

Bon Appétit, by HJ Welch

Two hungry Daddies. One delicious boy. Come and get it while it’s HOT!

OLIVER
The profile says he’s looking for a boy to be his husband’s birthday present for an entire weekend. Someone to have chocolate, honey, and sprinkles licked off every inch of his body. Who will submit to the two older men’s ravenous desires whenever their tummies rumble. I’m as vanilla as an ice cream cone, I’ll never get picked. But their fantasies have awoken something mouthwatering in me, so I have to try and apply. Imagine my surprise when Master Tallis says he wants me and only me to be Daddy August’s special surprise. There’s no way an unremarkable newbie can pull this off, but I doubt I’ll ever get an opportunity like this again.

How can I possibly say no?

I was impressed I found a boy that met all of my extremely high standards for my husband’s birthday surprise in the first place. However, even after he gives himself over to us completely for an entire weekend, I realize it’s not enough. I’m still starving for more. But we agreed this was a one-time deal. August and I aren’t looking for a long-term third and Oliver has only just discovered kink. It wouldn’t be fair to ask for seconds.

Would it?

AUGUST
I love my husband, my Master, so much. But he knows how I adore being a Daddy to a sweet sub as well. We’ve only ever played with boys for a few hours or a night before, so to have one stay for a whole weekend as my birthday surprise is divine. The thing is, Oliver is special. He feels like he brings out the best in both Tallis and me. I just want to gobble him up and keep him forever.

Can I?

Bon Appétit is a steamy, standalone MM romance. It’s the seventh book in the Paddle Creek Daddies series, where it’s always the quiet ones who get up to the best kind of trouble.

Two for Boarding, by S.B. Barnes

With fourteen years as the San Francisco Sea Lions’ top defenseman under his belt, Phil Easton is tired. After his coaches push him into playing on a bad knee and he ends up on long-term injured reserve, the chances of having his contract renewed dwindle before his eyes. He’s ready to hang up his skates when head coach Ben Morris shows up on his doorstep to help him recover. As what starts as a short-term boarding situation turns into friendship and maybe more, Phil can’t help noticing a few things about his coach that don’t add up.

Barring a short stint on a college hockey team, journalist Ben Sinclair has never been a sports fan. Every day he spends posing as the Sea Lions’ coach while investigating a scandal at the heart of the Sea Lions’ management, he hopes he can finish the job quickly and move on. But living in Phil’s spare room, growing closer to him by the day, Ben begins to wonder if putting down roots would be so bad. When Ben’s family calls in a favor in the form of taking in his wayward nephew, Charlie, Phil offers his support. The closer they grow, the more Ben relies on Phil for help with coaching and Charlie, going against every instinct he’s trained into himself for two lonely decades.

With his heart on the line, can Ben accept Phil’s offer of a convenient marriage to keep custody of Charlie? Can Phil figure out his own sexuality in time to make the marriage real? And can both of them work together to protect the Sea Lions from a conspiracy going all the way to the top?
