Love Means More, by Ariella Zoelle

Augie has been in love with his straight best friend for years. But what happens when they fake date and he discovers that Ambrose has similar feelings and isn’t as straight as he assumed?

Ambrose O’Rourke

Being friends with Augie has taught me a lot about myself, including the fact that I’m not nearly as straight as I suspected. He awakens something deep inside of me that yearns for more than just his friendship—I want his love. But he dismisses my shameless flirting as nothing more than a joke. Clearly, if I’m going to win his heart, I’ll have to get creative.

Fortunately, a golden opportunity presents itself for us to pretend to date each other, which is the perfect chance I need. He thinks it’s something fun we’ll laugh about later, but my goal is to show him that I’m such an awesome fake boyfriend that he’ll want me to keep me as his real one. Sure, it could go spectacularly wrong. But it might work out perfectly, right?

Augie Murphy

Ambrose knows everything about me except for two very important secrets: I’m bisexual and madly in love with him. I was doing fine until my straight best friend decides to turn his charm factor up to blinding while flirting with me like he actually wants me to respond to his heated teasing. How am I supposed to resist as it becomes harder not calling his bluff and kissing him until he falls in love with me for real? But since he thinks I’m as straight as him, I can’t risk doing something so stupid, no matter how hot it would be.

I’m finally pushed to my breaking point when he concocts an absurd plan for us to pretend to be bisexual boyfriends looking to hook up with women as a way to spice up our relationship. I should say no, but it’s too much temptation to resist when it’s the closest I’ll ever get to dating him for real. Even if we’re pretending for only one night, I need to know what it’s like to be loved by him.

The boundaries of our friendship quickly start to blur as we act out my dream life. Do I dare hope that this bad idea might turn my fake boyfriend for a night into my real one forever?

Love Means More is the second book in the Good Bad Idea series and part of the Sunnyside universe. This novel features a friends to lovers, bi awakening, fake dating, mutual pining, gay romance.

Facts, Smacts!, by Becca Seymour

“Steamy and intense – a beautiful window into 2 men truly caring for one another. Beautiful!” – Em Book Reader

It’s not my agility that catches basketball player Tyron Channing’s attention. It can’t be when he found me grazed and hurt after an embarrassing slip. But my oh my, his breath-catching growls and him hauling me off my ass with a question that makes my head spin: Who did this to you? — make me dizzy with want.

Between his intensity and his sweetness, he turns me into a melted puddle of goo, which isn’t as gross as it sounds. And who knew I liked my men to wield facts like they’re as essential as oxygen, all while being so smart that sometimes his brain-to-mouth function has no filter?

There’s something else you need to know about Tyron. He’s all in and holds nothing back from our new friendship. Because that’s totally what this is, right? Carrying my bag to classes, handing me my favorite coffee when I least expect it, being my defender, and introducing me to his teammates… they’re all normal actions when people become study partners. I’ll keep telling myself that—anything more with Tyron seems impossible.

That doesn’t stop me from fantasizing or holding out hope that one day, Tyron will see me as more than the geeky math nerd who just happens to have caught his attention.

The River Prince, by Sheena Himes

From bestselling author SJ Himes writing as Sheena Jolie comes the long-awaited new book in the Realms of Love Series!

The countries of Eistrea and Hellebore were once one land, torn asunder by a brutal war. A thousand years later, the Hellebore Empire and the Kingdom of Eistrea foster peace along the shared borders of the massive river Adracias, united by faith in a mysterious river god and an ancient treaty signed in blood and magic.

Prince Elia of Eistrea is the youngest of four and is hated by siblings and royal parent alike. Outcast for being different in more ways than one, Elia suffers through abuse and scorn without much hope for a better life. Gifted with magic that leaves him hated by his father, Elia is waiting for the day he’s tossed aside like trash and left to die, or married off to a cold-hearted stranger after political power.

The festival of Adracias approaches, and the Hellebore Empire has sent their ambassador to Eistrea, guarded by a squadron of the infamous Hellions, the best warriors in Hellebore. One of their numbers is Sir Merrick, a kind, gentle warrior who notices Elia and treats him as if he were precious. Despite knowing better, Elia falls in love with the Hellion guard. Elia dreams of a day he can call a man like Sir Merrick his love, and yearns for the impossible.

Yet Sir Merrick has a secret, one even bigger than the magic abilities Elia keeps hidden from the realm under the threat of violence. When Elia learns the truth hidden in plain sight, the potential for war on a scale never seen before erupts between the two lands. Tensions rise and swords are drawn, and then Elia is offered a chance to both achieve his heart’s most secret desire and preserve a thousand-year-old peace.

The River Prince is a standalone fantasy romance set in the same world as The Solstice Prince, in neighboring countries. There is an interconnected plot in the series that becomes relevant in later books. Both books can be read as standalone stories without any issue. CW for slavery, domestic abuse and bigotry. 124,000 words.

Acing the Game, by Carey PW

Is food really the way into a person’s heart?

Shep Lee thought he had it all. A successful restaurant, a loving husband who understood his asexuality, and most of all, the ability to be himself, a popular chef in the small town of Cloverleaf, Montana. That is, until his husband, Elmer Eshler, began pushing Shep more on sex.

Elmer doesn’t understand why he can’t turn his partner on—aren’t they perfect for each other? And Shep loves him, right? Shep, meanwhile, while confident with his body, is and forever will be sex indifferent. Why has Elmer suddenly changed his tune? But he doesn’t want to lose the man he loves so much. What can they do?

Shep convinces Elmer to try a polyamorous relationship. Elmer gets to have Shep and the sex life he’s always wanted. Shep gets a cooking buddy and a chance to experience a relationship and even try sex with a woman as his authentic gender. At first, Shep isn’t sure, but finds himself coming around—this feels safer than opening up the relationship. All three of them will be romantically involved, so that should ease any jealousy, right?

But when Willow Saint, a free-spirited, boisterous, and saucy young woman, comes into their lives, neither are prepared for the emotional and sexual rollercoaster that follows. Enthralled by Willow’s charm and kindness, Elmer and Shep struggle to understand what this means for their own bond. Can they become one happy family? Or will this ruin everything?

Soren, by Grae Bryan

Gabe Kingman has never been great with his emotions. His disastrous personal life is evidence enough of that. Returning to be a doctor in his small Colorado hometown was supposed to bring him closer to his family, not push them even further away. He’s been slowly working to repair the mistakes he’s made, but his efforts aren’t made any easier by the new existence of vampires in his world. Especially one pesky, annoyingly beautiful vampire in particular.

Soren Iversen never meant to stay in Hyde Park this long. He hasn’t kept himself alive for centuries by letting himself be a sitting duck.

Love Comes in Threes, by Marie Sinclair

A new book by 2023 Lambda Literary finalist Marie Sinclair.

A single phone call changes the perfectly-balanced V-relationship husbands Elliott and Luc, and Luc’s Dom/boyfriend, Leo, have maintained for years. If they’re brave enough to take the chance, they could build something even stronger for all of them together.

Elliott thrives on routine: teaching college literature, caring for his dogs, and unconditionally loving his husband, Luc. Whether that means building a recording studio for Luc’s burgeoning career as a pet care influencer or supporting Luc’s love for his Dom, Elliott is there for him no matter what.

Luc is the luckiest man in the world. His pet care YouTube channel is poised to launch into a real career, Elliott gives him the solid foundation he needs, and Leo provides the domination and structure he craves. Wherever the winds of fame take him, he’s secure in the knowledge that both his husband and his lover will be his wings.

Leo knows no one would look at his wheelchair and think “Dom,” but frankly, he doesn’t care. He survived the accident that paralyzed him, as well as a health crisis that almost killed him, and his reward is Luc, kneeling at his feet in complete devotion and perfect submission.

These three men have balanced work, home, love, and play in an open and consensual V-relationship for several years…until a single phone call rocks their world. Once the shock wears off, the new dynamic between them could destroy everything or build something stronger if they’re brave enough to take the chance.

Notes: Love Comes in Threes is an emotional, somewhat angsty MMM romance featuring a consensual V-relationship (i.e., no cheating), and an HEA for all three men. It contains a Dom on wheels, Really Big Floofy Dogs, and mouthwatering Greek pastries, as well as light kink and a D/s relationship.

False Start, by Riley Hart & Neve Wilder

If only my feelings were as fake as this “relationship” with my former teammate.

CULLEN: I’ve been the NFL’s “problem child” since my rookie year. If there’s trouble, I’ll find it.

But my biggest weakness has always been Houston McRae. We were secretly together in college before it blew up in our faces.

So, when I see him again years later, you’d think I’d know better than to end up in an airport bathroom stall tearing his clothes off.

To make matters worse, because of mistakes I’ve made, I find out afterward I’m being traded… to Denver.

Where Houston lives. Because of course.

I’m not taking responsibility for the two of us ending up in a fake relationship. That’s all on him, but I can’t pretend I won’t enjoy it. As long as I don’t let myself fall for him again, I’ll be fine, right?

HOUSTON: I lived, breathed, and slept football until an injury sidelined me for life. Now I’m solely focused on finding my place again… until Cullen Atwood walks back into my life and tempts me into an airport bathroom stall, where every ounce of passion for him I thought I’d buried returns with a vengeance.

Now he’s playing for the Rush…

And staying in my apartment.

And did I mention he’s also my fake boyfriend who makes it clear he still wants me every chance he gets?

I’ve got my future to think about, though, and we’re one wrong move from becoming a tabloid headline. I can’t afford to think of Cullen as anything more than a casual hook-up.

So why do I keep wishing this relationship was real?

False Start is a low angst, high-heat sports romance in the Playing for Keeps series.

As always, the no-nonsense Shane is tasked with overseeing the festivities.

Cody has dreamed of attending the pet play event for years. However, his duties as a ranch owner in Montana make it difficult to take time off for himself. One of his side hustles is making leather harnesses, collars and leashes for the kink community. What better excuse to attend than by renting a booth for the long weekend?

Once Cody spots the stern, older Shane, he recognizes in him a boy who needs to let go, to prance and romp. He also hopes Shane will give himself over to a firm and loving handler. Cody would happily apply for the job, but his advances are consistently rebuffed.

Will Shane’s scars from a humiliating relationship prevent him from finding the happiness he secretly craves with the carefree Cody? And will a long-distance relationship prove impossible for them to sustain?

Note: Prancing With Daddy is part of the Pet Play by the Lake multi-author, shared world series. You can expect plenty of snuggling, romping and playtime from a variety of adorable pets and their commanding Daddies and Masters. Grab your copy now!

Flip Job, by Raleigh Ruebins

My house needs a flip job…
And my best friend’s brother has all the right equipment.

I swore I’d never be back in this little mountain town where I grew up. But Dad left me his old fixer-upper house and a brewery full of employees who seem to hate me, and both are in need of some elbow grease and charm.

Lucky me: my best friend co-owns a construction company, Fixer Brothers Construction Co, ready to hire for renovations. Luckier me: his formerly scrawny little brother Shawn has grown into a tall, built, knuckle-bitingly hot construction worker.

He looks damn good in flannel… and better with it off.

I can have a little fun, right?

I want him in my bed, and I’m good at getting what I want. Turns out all those years of construction work have done him good, body and soul. He’s the whole package.

Shawn’s sweet, sensitive, and has been through hell. For a heartbreaker like me, he should be off-limits. And his brother knows way too much about my bad habits from the past: get in, get out, never commit.

But he’s flipping my whole world, and I know I don’t want him to stop.

The Alpha and His King, by Kiki Clark

When Kai flies out of a shed, swinging a rake, Rick’s life flips upside down.

As alpha, Rick’s dedication to his pack has never wavered—until Kai. The pull he feels toward the younger man is more than a simple distraction, but Rick won’t let himself lose focus. Not while a hidden enemy is drawing near.

Moving in with the grumpy alpha who saved him is a big change for Kai, and it isn’t long before he begins to ache for something he can’t have. As a half-human shifter responsible for his three younger siblings, he knows he can never be Rick’s mate.

Pushing aside their doubts and insecurities, they grow closer. But when the pack’s enemies strike, bringing their fears to fruition, Rick and Kai have to decide if they’re willing to risk it all to be together.

The Alpha and His King is the first book in the Kincaid Pack series, best read in order. It features a quick-tempered and possessive alpha; a sweet and feisty alpha-mate; shifters, seers, and witches galore; massive amounts of hurt/comfort; and a happily ever after.

Professional Distance, by Silvia Violet

Being an escort was supposed to be a means to an end. A quick, temporary way to save money for culinary school.

Then Thornwell Shipton became my client.

Thorne is wealthy beyond belief, sophisticated as heck, and hotter than the sun.

He’s also uptight, closeted, way older than me, and a total workaholic who’s terrified of relationships.

In other words, we’re total opposites, and the two of us should never have developed feeling for each other… except, somehow we’re perfect together. And neither of us can get enough.

Suddenly being with Thorne is about more than just our scorching nights together, it’s about respect and trust. It’s about Thorne admitting he wants things he’s denied himself for years—soft, caring things. Dirty things. Things that force him to open his heart, not just his body, and make me want to do the same.

But how can I convince a man like Thorne to risk everything and fight for the future we both want—one where we end up together with no professional distance between us at all?
