Ensnaring Their Rabbit, by Jacey Davis

May the Goddess have mercy on anyone who tries to take our mate from us…

My twin brother Reeve and I have called Western State Penitentiary our home for the last ten years, and that’s not changing any time soon. We’ve made our peace with that and have grown used to our lives in the only prison in the country that can hold alpha predator shifters like ourselves.

These collars might keep us from shifting and using our alpha abilities, but even the ones in charge know they must do something to help curb our predatory instincts, or they’d have a major problem. So, they hold quarterly hunts. The prison is locked down, our collars are turned off, and some unfortunate omega prey shifter is dropped in our midst. The poor thing never stands a chance.

Reeve and I are tired of these games and have no intention of playing. But then the scent of the newest prey hits us, and we immediately know he’s our mate.

Nothing will stop us from protecting our sweet little rabbit. It doesn’t matter who comes for him and what they try to do. Brynn is ours to care for, ours to protect, and anyone who tries to get in the way, all we have to say is, “Bring it.”

Ensnaring Their Rabbit is a standalone story part of the Heat, Prey, Love series. Each book features a predator and prey shifter finding their true love. Ensnaring Their Rabbit is an MMM omegaverse romance, and features twin wolf alphas and their omega rabbit mate. This prison-based romance will include overly protective alphas, primal play, scenting, nesting, knotting, and chase scenes. MPreg exists in this world.

Time on Our Side, by Ellie Roth

He just has to pretend to date his worst enemy. Simple, right?

Jay Diamant is a bad guy—on the clock, at least, where his job description occasionally includes masquerading as the time-stopping villain Metronome and wreaking general havoc. When he’s not on company time, though, he mainly enjoys living the best life that (nefariously gained) money can buy and making sure that his teenage nephew, Zach, has the childhood that Jay never had.

Harris Ferguson is a hero—not that it’s helped him much. Living out of his car while he struggles through college, Harris spends most of his free time in the Climber suit, using its physics-defying powers to help clean up the streets. When he takes aspiring newbie hero Zach Diamant under his wing, he thinks that the two of them might be able to make a real difference in the city.

All of this, of course, is before Harris finds out that Zach’s uncle is infamous villain Metronome. It’s also before Jay finds out that his beloved nephew is trying to play the hero game under the guidance of thorn-in-Jay’s-side hero Climber. When their worlds collide in the worst way and their only solution is to fake a relationship, will they be able to find something worth fighting for underneath each other’s masks?
—
Time on Our Side is a contemporary LGBTQ+ romantic fantasy that features a modern world mixed with superhero suits and superpowers, a slow-burn enemies-to-lovers romance, reluctant fake dating, heroes and villains who are more alike than they want to admit, found family vibes, tragic backstories, mild to moderate steaminess, major angst, and a happy ending for our protagonists (with a few plot threads left open for later books).

Dear John, by Christina Lee

Micah
When I wrote the Dear John letter, I never imagined six years would pass before I laid eyes on my husband again. It takes my grandfather’s death to bring me back to Aqua Vista. And to John McCoy, the only man I’ve ever loved. We parted ways on mutual terms to chase our dreams. John’s plan was to open his bar, and mine was to make it in Hollywood. I’m still waiting for my big break, but John’s business is a success, and I couldn’t be happier for him. Seeing him brings it all back—our love, attraction, and fondness for each other—and we can’t stay away, even if we try.

John
As soon as Micah walks into my bar, the memories come flooding back, and I have the urge to hold him close if only to make sure I’m not dreaming. I’ll be here for him during this difficult time because that’s what we do, what we’ve always done for each other. Soon enough, we fall back into a routine that feels as natural as breathing. Reminiscing, providing support, making love. I’ve ached for his mouth and body for so long. There’s no way I can refuse either of us.

When Micah rediscovers his favorite childhood interests, I try to tamp down my hopes. He’ll return to LA once his grandfather’s property is sold, and we’ll move on with our separate lives. Loving each other has never been our issue, but we finally do the responsible thing regarding our divorce. Guess that saying is true—when you love something, set it free. The only problem? This time, it’s for good, and I’m still not sure I can let him go.

The problem? Graham keeps popping up in my life. Even worse, I think I’m starting to fall for him.

Call The Coroner, by Avril Ashton

From the AWARD-WINNING author of the bestselling BROOKLYN SINNERS series comes a dark, twisted tale of pain, revenge, and the deadliest emotion of all…love.

A clash of wills between predators…

He’s been living underground for a long time, but the only thing guaranteed to bring Daniel Nieto back to the surface is the identity of his wife’s killer. With the whisper of one name, he puts it all on the line for vengeance. He’s got plans for Stavros Konstantinou.

The title of monster fits too well for Stavros to want to be anything other than what he is. Time spent in Daniel Nieto’s dungeon, chained and tortured, will never change that. Starved of food, sunlight, and freedom, he waits for an opening to turn the tables on the only man who’s ever come close enough to scare him.

Somewhere between the slide of knife against skin, and the drip of blood on cold concrete, things change. Grief and hatred collide with lust and obsession, and this time Daniel and Stavros are on the same side. This time, they’re fighting a losing battle against a connection forged by much more than a love of violence and bloodshed.

In a war this bloodied, what do you do when the bodies start hitting the floor?

Tropes include enemies-to-lovers, forced proximity, first times, and bi-awakening

Fast Break, by Aria Brennan

JT
Moving from a tiny country town to the big city is tough enough. Throw in the fact I’m smack bang in the middle of my senior year and let’s just say it’s been an adjustment. Making the Division 1 basketball team alongside my ultra-popular cousin certainly helps though. As does the fact all the girls seem to be looking my way twice. Sounds pretty good, right?

But here’s the thing. See, there’s also this guy. His name’s Quinn. I’m not sure what it is but there’s something about him and that something means I tend to look at him. Like, all the time. It may have something to do with the way he wears our school uniform that seems to make my mouth go dry.

Quinn is everything I’m not – super intelligent, effortlessly classy and on his way to law school. We have nothing in common, and I’m pretty sure he’s allergic to sport. Besides, he’s never even noticed me.

But then we’re paired up for a science project and I suddenly have his full attention. And his attention? Let’s just say it’s sending me places I have been trying really hard not to go.

I can’t be myself at home. But Quinn gives me a safe place to let me see who I really am. And he makes me want more. Makes me want him. Makes me want to risk everything. I want him to be mine – but am I ready for that?

Fast Break is a low-angst, new-adult romance. Both MMCs are 18+. This book contains some tender, heartwarming M/M moments (and basketball – lots of basketball).
