Zack & Todd Versus The Wet Hot Summer, by Nando Gray

Welcome to ?????. It was already WILD here, but now there’s more.
So much more.

And if you’re truly wild, truly daring–you’ll start right here if you want to get to the really world-bending stuff. But if you want to know where this all started check out books I and II— now available as a box set on Amazon.

Join again with two unlikely heroes as they find themselves dumped into a whole new world filled with some very familiar and some very new dangers. Will Zack and Todd be able to outrun the shadows? Or will their strange past finally run them down and sunder their love once and for all? Will the magic they see in this strange, weird place empower or destroy them? And that’s not all…there’s danger here, too–under the dark, velvety shade of the Pines.

And you’re right to be scared: because things were already wild, but they just got weird. There is magic in all that stolen light that was pillaged from that cultish group back in our world only to be scattered here–empowering the cruel and underserving. And our heroes are going to have to fight to save their very lives now–and if they manage to survive maybe they’ll even make some new and unexpected friends along the way.

Join Zack and Todd as they battle their way through the WILDS. Overcome one insurmountable obstacle after another–everything from being dumped out of forever into the now to the unexpected terrors lurking just outside a charming wayside tavern filled with new friends and terrifying foes. Get chased amongst the Pines by a stoney, airborne threat only to be carried against your will across a vast sea of doubt and fear. And when you reach the other side–on fire–you’ll finally get to discover your most forbidden passions.

Our heroes are on an odyssey of self-discovery, of love and all the trials and tribulations that go along with it. Voyage with them as they make their way toward the Matriarch of Many to seek out a Wish for Home. See what secrets this new world has to offer an unlikely duo as they are flung from one experience to the next. Fall in love. Run for your life. It’s WILD here.

And this is just the beginning. Stay with us as love, terror, and fantasy evolve in equal measure over the coming year with monthly releases scheduled.

Prepare for anything.
Prepare for everything.

Pack light.
And buckle up.

Bourbon and Burlesque, by Raquel Riley

Is it a cliché to fall for the man who comes to your rescue? Or is it fated?

Kelley Michaelson

Love and affection had been missing from my life since I came out to my parents as a teen. Burlesque gave some of that back to me. When I take the stage, the audience admires me, the music loves me, but burlesque isn’t the passion of a lover, a soul-deep connection my heart yearns to share with another man.

When my boss’s father plays my hero from a stalker, I know my search is over. His vow to keep me safe feels like so much more than that. Smart, confident, loyal and generous, tough as nails…he can face anything, except when it comes to me. If he runs, I have a plan to catch him.

Graham Carrick

I never thought I’d give myself another chance to be a fool in love, but when Kelley strutted into my life on patent leather stilettos and turned it upside down, he didn’t really give me a choice.

Nothing has been the same since, including my heart. I don’t want life to go back to the way it was before, even if it could, but it doesn’t matter. The twenty-eight years that separate us are too many to bridge the gap, no matter how I think he makes me feel.

Bourbon And Burlesque is an age gap, grumpy sunshine, opposites attract gay romance with a femme-fatale burlesque dancer, a silver fox bar-owner, a dash of hurt comfort and forced proximity, and a diva kitten named Glitter. This is the third book in the Love And Libations series.

Distance: Curses and Blessings, by Nele Betra

Carlo Vertucci has had deep feelings for his best friend William for many years. To get over it, he accepts a tempting job offer in Boston and moves to the East Coast, 3,000 miles away.
The cross-country distance is supposed to bring some peace to Carlo’s life. This is put to the test every time he returns for a visit to San Francisco. After all, this is the city where his adopted family lives – the same family William Powell also belongs to.

As much as Carlo loves these people, there are two things he dislikes: the routine discussions of his non-existent love life and the ensuing looks of pity.

To avoid those looks, he asks Brennan Collier – colleague and friend with benefits – to step in as a boyfriend for show. What follows is a “family reunion” with catastrophic consequences. Incidents that not only make Carlo think, but also plunge him and Brennan into various adventures.

Kace Tomlin is the nation’s hottest, youngest pro quarterback at age 22, and he’s out and proud. When Kace hired my little construction company to work on his multi-million dollar mansion, it was the quickest hell yes of my life.

Usually I’m in Dad Mode, 24/7—boring, predictable, and dependable. But being plunged into a young hotshot football player’s world is anything but predictable.

I can’t stop watching him. Craving him. And after one blazing hot night, we can’t keep our hands off each other. I hate that he gets my wires all crossed, and makes me feel like I’m nowhere close to straight.

But Kace has a TV crew filming every moment of his private life. We’re on the show now, for all of Kace’s fans to see, keeping our smoldering secret hidden.

Is this all just another game? Or will he be reckless with me, for the whole world to see?

Laying Pipe, by Kiki Clark

John
John has a good life. A mostly happy one even. It’s simple and a little lonely at times now that he’s divorced, but that’s okay. Not everyone is destined for a great love or happily ever after.

But he does have a thriving business and a best friend who’s like family. What more does he need?

Definitely not his best friend’s son. Even if John did look at men that way, there was no way he’d risk his friendship because he’d suddenly noticed things about Lukas he never had before.

Like how sweet he was. Or how good-looking.

Or how much he wants to kiss him…

Lukas
Having a crush on his dad’s best friend for years hasn’t done wonders for Lukas’s love life. No one ever quite measured up to the kindhearted man who always seems to be there when Lukas needs him.

He knows nothing can ever come of it since John’s straight. Like, used to be married to a woman, only ever dated women, super blue collar kind of straight.

Not to mention his dad would lose his mind…

But it’s totally fine. Lukas is sure he’ll get over his feelings eventually.

Even if John is suddenly looking at him differently.

Almost like… Almost like he wants to kiss Lukas?

That can’t be right.

Laying Pipe is the first in bestselling author Kiki Clark’s Blue Collar Hearts series. It features a 42-year-old plumber who’s good with his hands… and pipes, a 26-year-old vet tech with the softest of hearts, a late-blooming bisexual, super low angst, and butt-touching as a love language.

Matched To His Phoenix, by Colbie Dunbar and Lorelei M Hart

Being stuck in a small town where everyone knows everyone sucks. Full. Stop.

Alpha phoenix shifter Ashton is ready for a new beginning. Not the kind most people think of when they hear phoenix, but the kind with a new job, a new town, and not being greeted by his ex every time he walks into work. When a job at a small community college crosses his screen, he immediately applies. Sure, it’s a pay cut and technically a downward move, but something about it just feels right.

Omega Jeff was born, raised, and would probably die in Springfield just like all of his relatives. It’s the way of things when your family has been an integral part of town politics since pretty much forever. Only Jeff doesn’t want to follow his father and grandfather and great-grandfather’s footsteps to one day be the town mayor. He wants to find an alpha who loves him and settle down and have a family. How difficult could that be? It turns out the answer is very.

When Jeff’s best friend sets him up with the hot new app, he declines, not wanting the disappointment when it fails or worse yet, he matches with his boss’s son. His friend goes behind his back and not only sets up the app for him, but also arranges his first date. When he goes to the diner thinking he’s meeting his friend only to discover it’s a set up, he almost leaves. But there’s something about this stranger. What harm is there in one bowl of chili? Maybe he might make a new friend… or more.

Matched to His Phoenix is the thirteenth book in the sweet with knotty heat Dates of Our Lives series, an M/M mpreg shifter dating app romance brought to you by the popular co-writing duo of Lorelei M Hart and Colbie Dunbar. It features a phoenix shifter who’s new to town, a human unaware that shifters exist outside of romance novels, a cat who picks her humans, fated mates, true love, adorable babies, and a guaranteed happy ever after. If you like your shifters cuddly, your alphas hawt, your mpreg with heart, and your HEAs complete with true mates and a bundle of joy, one-click today.

Hex and the City, by Nazri Noor

Leon Alcantara is a real son of a witch.

The last in a proud line of witches, he’s come to test his small magic in the big city. Stealing enchanted artifacts pays the rent, but the competition is fierce. And handsome. And great at magic, too.

But Maximilian Drake and his dark, brooding glances are the least of Leon’s problems. A chain of anomalies surges through the city, strange distortions in reality that threaten both Dos Lunas and its people.

Suspected by the arcane authorities, Leon is forced to work with his nemesis to clear his name. But Max is so secretive over his shrouded past. Can he even be trusted? Leon must decide before the anomalies destroy the city — and his entire life.

The Human’s Incubus, by Michele Notaro

When an incubus tells you he’s your soulmate, do you stay and listen or run and never look back?

I’ve spent most of my life knowing that supernatural creatures exist but never really interacting with any, so my knowledge of them is limited. Still, who would’ve thought a demisexual incubus was a thing?

Well apparently, not only is it a thing, but I have one who claims to be my soulmate—or viramore, as he calls it. And now he has it in his head that he’s going to save me from my past.

I think he might have a few screws loose, but something about him intrigues me, and I find myself drawn into his orbit. Could he be telling the truth? Could he really be my soulmate? Or should I be running from him the way I’m running from my enemies?

The Human’s Incubus is the first book in A Brinnswick Story series and is a MM paranormal romance. This series takes place in the Ellwood Chronicles and Brinnswick Chronicles world, but it’s not necessary to read those series first in order to enjoy this one.

Just Right, by Lorelei M Hart, Trisha Linde, and Colbie Dunbar

A little bit hot, a little bit cold. In the end, they’re just right.

Alpha wolf shifter Saffron is finally home. He’s found a new town he loves, a pack where he belongs, a house with room for a family, and has best friends as close as brothers. And life only gets better when Saff steps onto his porch one sunny day to see not only the one who got away, but also an adorable baby with Saffron’s eyes. Saff is instantly Papa to a sweet bear cub, and he couldn’t be happier.

Omega bear shifter Everest has been searching for the alpha father of his baby ever since their one-night stand over a year ago. If only they had been true mates. Maybe then they’d have started things right, instead of showing up with their daughter out of the blue one day. Everest is shocked to discover the spark is still there. If only something, or is it someone, wasn’t missing.

Alpha honey-bear shifter Dior thought he was heading down to the sunny beaches with a friend. That was until he was ditched at the side of the road when said friend found his true mate at a rest stop. Now he’s broke, alone, stranded, and desperate. He doesn’t want to “borrow” food from houses, but he’s not finding enough in his fur to sustain him. What else can he do? And he doesn’t really mean to fall asleep in the warm house… he truly doesn’t. It’s just that it smells so good, and he can’t stand to leave it. A small nap wouldn’t hurt.

And it doesn’t hurt—it changes everything.

Just Right is the sixth book in the Fairest of Them All series and can be read as a standalone. This retelling of Goldilocks gives the beloved story an m/m mpreg shifter twist. It’s sweet with knotty heat and features an alpha looking for a future, the omega who shows up on his doorstep holding said future, a down-on-his-luck alpha honey bear looking for something not too hard (just kidding—too hard is just right), true love, fated mates, a secret baby, an adorable bundle of joy, and an HEA fit for a fairy tale. If you like your alphas hawt, your omegas strong, and your mpreg with heart, download Just Right by the co-writers of the popular Royal Heat series, Lorelei M Hart, Colbie Dunbar, and Trisha Linde today.
