Love Story, by RJ Scott

Love wasn’t on Sam Caldwell’s agenda until a city boy with haunted eyes and no coat crashed into his world.

As a fourth-generation maple farmer in Caldwell Crossing, New Hampshire, Sam is rooted in tradition, family, and a quiet life filled with woodsmoke, laughter, and loyal friends. But everything changes when he finds Ben Marshall half-frozen on the side of the road. Ben is sharp, guarded, and running from his past—yet there’s a pull between them that Sam can’t ignore.

Ben never expected to end up in a snowy New Hampshire town, especially not after losing everything in Boston. Forced to leave his career and reputation behind, he retreats to the one safe place left—his great-aunt Harriet’s home in Caldwell Crossing. But safety doesn’t mean peace, and the last thing he needs is to catch feelings for the grumpy, gentle farmer who rescued him.

As winter thaws and maple flows, so does something deeper between Sam and Ben—trust, laughter, and the terrifying possibility of love. But when Ben’s past threatens to drag him back under, can two men who’ve built walls around their hearts find the courage to create something together?

Love Story features a city boy starting over, a maple farmer rooted in tradition, found family, best friends, early mornings that turn into something more, and the kind of love that feels like coming home.

Perfect Night, by Oliver Takely

In the vibrant streets of London, Charlie is struggling to make ends meet. To afford his mother’s care facility, he’s taken on a risky side job that forces him to sell his body. Life is tough, but Charlie remains resilient, finding solace in the camaraderie of his four best friends.

When a chance encounter brings him face-to-face with Sebastian, a wealthy businessman from New York fifteen years his senior, their connection ignites a passion that neither can ignore. After a perfect night together, they are drawn back into each other’s lives, their chemistry undeniable.

But as they navigate their growing feelings, Charlie’s desire for independence clashes with Sebastian’s longing for someone to nurture and care for. Just as they begin to explore their connection, Charlie’s life implodes, and Sebastian’s past trauma resurfaces, threatening to tear them apart.

Can they find a way to overcome the dangers from their pasts and embrace the love that’s blossoming between them, or will their tumultuous histories destroy their chance at happiness? Perfect Night is a gripping tale of love, desire, and the high stakes of opening your heart.

Emperor’s Wrath, by Kai Butler

In this den of vipers and vultures, can I trust the emperor I was sent to kill or is he using me to destroy all I love?

I abandoned my destiny in favor of a new goal: working with Emperor Tallu to take down the Southern Imperium. Only things are not so easy when we’re faced with the imperial generals who brought the continent to its knees.

If my mother knew what I was doing, her rage would melt the Silver City, but I have no choice as Tallu and I pursue a powerful weapon that could end any opposition to the Imperium.

Why does it matter if I’m finding myself all too attracted to a husband I can’t trust, whose secrets multiply the closer he lets me get?

Fanboy in the Falls, by J.E. Birk

My two celebrity crushes might both be into me. What could be wrong with that? As it turns out: everything.

The world has thrown me a lot of challenges over the years, but I’ve always tried to stay positive. Life’s too short to dwell on the negative. Unfortunately, my situation just took a very complex turn: I’m raising my little brother alone right now, but I’ve got to keep that a secret. If anyone finds out, I risk losing Lou.

My secret gets tough to keep when two international celebrities show up in our small town and start paying me all kinds of attention. I’ve got zero dating experience and plenty of reasons to stay away from them both, but keeping my distance isn’t going to be easy. First there’s Colin, the quiet and brooding former race car driver who seems uninterested in everyone and everything…except me. And then there’s Tom, the charming movie star, who flirts with me like it’s his job. Oh, and did I mention the two of them are best friends? Or that I think Tom might have some very deeply hidden feelings for Colin?

I’m definitely in over my head here. If I want to keep Lou safe, I know it’s best that I keep both men at arm’s length. So what do I do? I start renovating a hotel with them.

Oops. But I’m sure if I just stay positive, everything will work out fine. Right?

Right?

Fanboy in the Falls is an MMM famous people/commoner romance. It comes with a brooding race car driver, a hopelessly romantic movie star, and the sweet cinnamon roll who is not supposed to fall in love with either of them. It has a guaranteed HEA and no cheating. This is a Devon Falls book, so of course it also comes with a leaf festival and plenty of small town quirk. This is the third book in the Devon Falls series, but it can be read as a standalone.

Beat the Rich, by Sionnach Wintergreen

An undercover agent, posing as a bodyguard, falls for a “client” with secrets of his own.

The Great Depression hasn’t touched Marius Fontaine. A wealthy industrialist, he lives a life of leisure. There’s only one problem—he’s possessed by a demon who tortures him if he so much as thinks about love, compassion, or empathy. He can only contain it through a different kind of pain.

Enter Jack Kendall. Pretend body guard. Actual federal agent. His mission: investigate the millionaire’s involvement in a plot to assassinate FDR, the newly elected president. His problem: his desire for his mysterious target arouses his darkest fantasies.

If Marius is involved with the plot, he could face the electric chair. He doesn’t know his handsome bodyguard is trying to put him in Old Sparky.

For Jack, getting too close to Marius could mean incurring the wrath of one of the most powerful law enforcement agencies in the United States. And he knows nothing of the dangers lurking in Marius’s world.

Bad Cowboy, Tennessee, by Raleigh Ruebins

He’s not just a cowboy. He’s a monster, with his sights on me.
He’s also my sister’s boyfriend.
Until they break up on the first night he’s in town…
…And suddenly I’m the one with a very bad, very wrong cowboy on my hands.

Draven Lyons is the heir to the wealthiest Montana ranch dynasty.

I’m straight, but now he’s making me want things.
And it ends up with me pinned against a wall. My lips up against his ear. Begging him for more, especially when it hurts.
Telling Draven about my online stalker was the next mistake.

So what if my online videos make men want me? It’s just business.
Now Draven’s following me in the name of protection.
But his own dark secrets torment me. What happened back in Montana? Why is he still here in Tennessee, hiding out in my small town? And why does he want a frat boy bartender like me?

Broken Silence, by Felice Stevens

Justin Molina has secrets. He’s served his time but remains a prisoner of his past, unable to forgive himself for failing his family when they needed him most. Justin’s grief is overwhelming, but he keeps silent and focuses on his goals. About to graduate college, he tries to keep his head above water—no matter how many times life keeps knocking him down. When he’s forced to register for a poetry-writing class, Justin discovers putting words to his feelings might be exactly what his fractured heart needs to heal. Or is it the older professor with the bow ties and gentle smile who gives him a chance when no one else will?

Professor Foster Faraday Harding is a broken man. His divorce is final, and he’s reverted back to the safety of his books. Even his poetry no longer brings him joy; he’s sleepwalking through life. The raw emotion of Justin’s poetry awakens Foster to desires he thought long buried in the ashes of his marriage. When he discovers Justin is struggling financially, Foster offers him a solution that benefits both of them. Soon it’s Foster who’s struggling with emotions he can’t understand: Justin is his student. And a man. One crazy night years earlier doesn’t mean anything. Foster is straight.

After months of denying the growing attraction between them, an unexpected kiss changes everything. Justin and Foster are no longer only professor and student—they’ve become lovers, but the strain of hiding their relationship increases with each passing day. Words have the power not only to hurt but to heal the greatest pain. If Foster and Justin listen to what their hearts are saying, they might break through their silence and live their own love poems—together.

Wicked Games, by Willow Dixon

Killian
I hate obscure school rules. Especially the one that says siblings have to room together after a tragedy. Now I’m stuck sharing my dorm with my stepbrother, and I have no idea how either of us is going to make it to the end of the school year without offing the other.

Just as I’m getting used to having Felix around, someone else tries to off him, and now my cousins and I have to figure out who’s after him, and why. We might not like each other, but Felix is family, and that means he’s mine to protect.

Felix has always annoyed the hell out of me, but now he likes making me angry. And unlike most people, he isn’t afraid of me when I’m angry. There’s also something else between us. Something wild and addictive.

Something I’ve never felt before.

I’ve always known there’s more to my buttoned-up stepbrother than meets the eye, but it isn’t until we start a game of gay chicken that I realize just how similar we are.

He should know better than to start a game he can’t win, but if that’s what he wants, then game f*cking on, bro.


***Wicked Games is the first book in a new dark romance series set at an elite, invite-only college, and is an animosity to lovers story between stepbrothers who have more in common than they think. You can expect: stepbrothers, animosity to lovers, a double bi-awakening, roommates/forced proximity, hurt/comfort, fighting as foreplay/mild primal play, dirty talk, bratting, their version of gay chicken, a protective MC, morally ambiguous heroes, not-so-secret societies, and lots of spicy times that should come with a warning label (and they do, so be sure to check the content warning before diving into this one) as these two stepbrothers realize that in some games, everyone’s a winner.

Wrong Number, Right Fox, by Lorelei M. Hart & Colbie Dunbar

Sometimes the wrong number is the exact one you need.

Most people think that being next in line for den Alpha equals me having my shit together. I categorically do not. It’s more than being a leader. I also need to keep our den business going, and I’m flailing hard, and I’m only in charge of only one division. How am I supposed to handle them all?

I have two years to figure this out or step down and let my brother take the reins, and his idea of leadership is to bleed anyone who disagrees with him. My den needs me to be the Alpha they deserve, and I hire a shifter who runs a business consulting firm to be my shadow.

Only problem is, a website error has me actually hiring his co-worker instead, one who has no idea shifters exist, knows how to wear a suit in the most distracting way, and has me forgetting this is strictly business. Oops.

Wrong Number, Right Fox is a sweet with knotty heat MM Mpreg romance featuring an alpha fox trying to step up for his den, the omega human consultant who finds himself in a world he didn’t know existed and paired with a man who has him wanting to do very unprofessional activities in the office, the wrong number that brings the two together, true love, fated mates, an adorable baby, and a happy ever after. If you love your alphas hot, your omegas strong, and your mpreg with heart, download your copy today.

Mayfly, by JJ Asher

I just died and went to hell, because only the devil could write a narrative this utterly fu*ked,

Curren
Some say London is the greatest city in the world. But I was born hating this place, and as soon as I got out of juvie, I started running and never looked back.
Fifteen years later, I’m in bed with the Romanian mafia – and they need me more than I need them.
I don’t care what the job is, and I don’t care if I come out the other side.
But I guess that’s what makes me so good. It’s easy to win when you aren’t afraid to die.

Jude
Not all homecomings are welcome, but when you work for the King, you go where you’re told.
Having MI6 Agent in front of your name doesn’t make me a good man, though, no matter how desperately I want it to be true. Because it’s hard not to be scum with a father like mine, and a mother complacent in your abuse.
She never fought for me, but I fought for him – the shattered boy on the other side of that broken fence who desperately needed to be saved.
It’s why I do what I do.
It’s why I pretend I’m a hero.
But this job has forced me back to London, and being confronted with the memory of how he walked away might just be the thing that finally breaks me.
