Hidden Greed, by Oliver Takely

Milo looks like every twink you’ve ever met, but behind the cheeky smile is a man who craves control. Older men are his weakness, but none ever take him seriously. Until Edward.

Edward Chivington is forty, polished, and powerful. The deputy prime minister of the UK. A man forced into the closet by his father, who doesn’t know how to break the door down after so long. Milo is everything he wants, everything he never thought he could have.

Their first encounter is in The Back Room, a notorious labyrinth where anything goes in the dark. One night becomes many, and Edward starts to reveal pieces of himself, as he falls deeper for the young man. Then Milo realises the truth. The man he’s also falling for is on the brink of becoming prime minister.

But Edward isn’t the only one with ambition. His rival will stop at nothing to expose him. Milo’s flat mates will disown him for sleeping with the enemy, and the press is circling, hungry for scandal. A romantic trip to Norway over the holidays proves this could be their moment for happily ever after, but when their story breaks, Edward must make the ultimate choice.

His dream job, or his dream man? Because the world isn’t ready for him to have both, or is it?

Crystals and Corpses, by Jacki James and Lori Ames

Magic, murder, and a whole lot of coffee—welcome to Ravenstone!

Declan Hawthorne is just your average caffeine-addicted guy—until a visit to his grandfather reveals: magic is real, witches exist, and apparently, Declan’s one of them.

Now he’s getting to know Ravenstone, a supernatural small town where the coffee is strong, the monsters are quirky, and someone just murdered a vampire at the first annual Magic Festival.

His ally? Gideon Blackwood—a gorgeous wolf shifter who can’t shift but still manages to growl in all the right ways. He knows he can’t be Alpha, but that doesn’t stop him from protecting everyone else… including one reckless new witch who doesn’t know when to quit.

Between magical cookies and cakes, a bunch of meddling misfit monsters, and a lot of spilled coffee, Declan and Gideon have their hands full. But if they want to catch a killer—and maybe fall a little in love—they’ll have to trust their instincts and maybe their magic.

Because in Ravenstone, coffee solves most problems. The rest? Magic and a hot wolf usually do the trick.

Tags: MM paranormal mystery romance, cozy mystery vibes with a bit of heat, an alpha without a wolf, a guy who’s just discovered he’s a witch, some magical cakes and cookies, supernatural small town creatures, low angst, lots and lots of coffee, a misfit monster support group with a heartbroken mermaid, a murder-board-creating shadow imp, a matronly spider lady, a grumpy demon, an extroverted sprite, a shy bigfoot, and Declan’s hippie grandfather.

Much Ado about Muesli, by Karenna Colcroft

Vegan werewolf Kyle Slidell didn’t sign up to be the mate of the most powerful werewolf in the United States, the Anax Tobias Rogan. But fate had other plans after Kyle was changed from human to werewolf, and now he and Tobias are building a life together. And planning a wedding, if Tobias will get with the program.

Since taking the rank of Anax, though, Tobias has changed. While at times he’s the Tobias Kyle knows and loves, more and more often, it seems as if the power Tobias holds is trying to take control of him. And when a werewolf confronts Tobias about a crime committed by someone Tobias once loved, it pushes Tobias over the edge.

Now Kyle must help Tobias overcome and integrate the Anax power and protect his mate from those who believe Tobias should be removed from the rank—which would end Tobias’s life. Kyle has fought many threats to defend Tobias, but what can he do when the biggest threat is Tobias himself?

Louis, by Harper Robson

Two goalies. Only one net. A game they never saw coming.

LOUIS

I thought I knew exactly who I was—until a career-threatening injury forced me to realize I was wrong about my hockey future. And my heart.
My name is Louis Tremblay, and I’ve spent twelve years being the King of the Crease and the life of the locker room. But when a brutal on-ice collision tears my world apart, I’m suddenly the guy on the sidelines watching a rookie take my net. My body is broken, my “straight guy” identity is crumbling after one too many dreams about my backup, and now management wants me to mentor that same backup who’s gunning for my job. Teaching Tanner Sinclair is supposed to save the team’s season, but the more I show him about life in the pros, the more I realize he’s the only one who truly sees me.

TANNER

I don’t do “low-maintenance” because I’m easy; I do it because I’ve spent my life trying not to rock the boat or cause problems. I came to the Seattle Sasquatch to prove I’m a starter, not to fall for the legendary veteran who thinks he has to push me away to save both our careers. Helping Louis through his injury was supposed to be a professional courtesy, but it ended up being the first time in my life I felt like I belonged. Now a starting job with another team is on the table, and the only thing more terrifying than leaving the man I’m falling for is staying in a net he thinks he has to give up for me.

The high-stakes world of pro-hockey only has room for a single Number One goalie. But as their connection grows, Louis and Tanner must decide if being the starter is a prize worth holding onto—or if they’re ready to rewrite the game plan together.

Tropes: Bi-Awakening, Grumpy x Sunshine, Goalies in Love, Hurt/Comfort, and one very judgy bearded dragon.

Louis is a complete standalone novel in the Seattle Sasquatch series with no cliffhangers and a guaranteed HEA.

His Sassy Omega, by Raiven Matthews

Lachlan Sinclair
Clashing with a smart-mouthed, sarcastic omega was the cherry on top of my already bad day. Getting tossed out of my favorite place for sweet treats was not how I’d planned to start my morning.

I’d always played by the rules and done what was expected of me. My whole life, I’d known what I’d wanted in my mate. Until he was standing in front of me, nothing like I’d expected him to be, sassing me and ordering me about. The opposite of everything I’d thought I’d ever want.

But now he was all I did want. I just had to convince him of that.

Quinn Rafferty
When a huge alpha barged his way to the front of the line in my bakery, it was anything but a meet-cute. My sassy mouth promptly told him exactly where he could take his perfectly formed behind. Right back out the door he’d just come in and don’t come back, thank you very much.

Then our hands touched, and sparks of electricity shot between us, and my soul screamed Mate.

He was big and sexy and growly, and smelled like every wishful dream I’d ever had, and forgotten. Making me want things I’d never wanted before. Making me want to run from him as fast as my legs could carry me. Secretly, hoping he would chase me.

His Sassy Omega is the first book in the Sweet Alps Mates series but can be read as a standalone, with no cliffhangers and a HEA. It contains opposites attract, age gap, shifters, knotting, and mpreg.

A Flash of Golden Fire, by AE Lister

Twenty-two-year-old Simon White begs for a place on Captain Dinesh Martin’s pirate ship, the Arrow. When he proves hilariously inadequate at most tasks, he finds himself in the captain’s quarters as cabin boy, housekeeper, and bed warmer.

Captain Martin used to be a British naval officer, until he became disenchanted with the hypocrisy, racism, and classism of the institution and embarked on a life of piracy. He runs an organized and efficient vessel and prides himself on the men with whom he surrounds himself. He is esteemed and admired, and he gives them as good a life as they’ve ever known.

But Simon has more than a few surprises up his sleeve, including some frightening powers, and Dinesh learns that sometimes a pretty appearance and amenable disposition can fool even an experienced man of the seas.

Doc, by RJ Scott

Raised in hell. Remade in blood. Levi is a mercy; he won’t survive.

Doc has lived his whole life in the shadows, using sharp skills and colder instincts to keep his sister and her kids safe. He fixes problems no one talks about, navigates dangerous circles without leaving a trace, and has learned that survival means staying hidden, staying in control, and never letting anyone close enough to see the cracks.

Detective Levi Rosen is the exception he never planned for.

Levi should walk away the moment he realizes Doc is tied to a world of underground violence, organ traffickers, and buried bodies. Instead, he finds himself drawn to the man behind the mask—the quiet precision, the impossible loyalty, and fear buried so deep it barely shows.

Together, they’re forced to navigate a violent network, shifting loyalties, and a past that’s been hunting Doc since he was a boy. And Levi has to decide how far he’s willing to go for a man who doesn’t believe he deserves to be saved.

Doc is a dark, emotional MM romantic suspense about trauma, obsession, forced proximity, morally grey choices, found family, and choosing someone even when the world keeps trying to take them away. This is Book 4 in the Redcars series and should be read in order.

Never Ever After, by Rae Stone

He’s a hero and I … I am no one.

Undeserving. Tainted. Weak and forgettable.

He would have been better off if he’d left me on that bathroom floor, but he didn’t.

I wish he would have.

He thinks he can give me a fighting chance at a life I didn’t ask for. A friendship I didn’t want. A connection I can’t touch.

If I had known it’d cost us everything, I would have walked away from him when I had the chance.

Never Ever After is a high angst slow burn about two broken boys with a touch of EMS, and a hint of motocross. This work is a cliffhanger, the first book in the Broken Boys of Barren Ridge duet, and includes themes meant for mature audiences.

The Camboy of Cavendish Hall, by Jem Wendel

Inheriting a country estate and a title should be a dream. But it comes with a high price….

Jason
The new owner of Cavendish Hall is fascinating. Beautiful and beguiling, but as the Eighth Earl of Cavendish and my boss, he’s completely off limits.

But that doesn’t stop me dreaming about him and when I see a camboy account of a masked and mysterious man who reminds me of him I can’t help give in to my fantasies. That can’t hurt can it? As long as he never finds out. . .

Kai
Starting a camboy account to pay the inheritance tax on my Uncle’s estate wasn’t on my bucket list. The sensible solution would have been to sell it. But as I spend more time there, I become intrigued by Uncle’s secrets and the staff who have kept them. Especially Jason, the quiet, handsome and rugged groundsman who is easy to talk to.

With the payment deadline looming closer, I realise I need Jason’s help to preserve my Uncle’s legacy. The trouble is I’m sure he doesn’t approve of my money making methods.

Could it be possible that this inheritance is the key to finding the family and love I’ve always longed for?
