Turkeys, by Lucy Lennox and May Archer

Hunter Jackson’s Sage Advice for a Happy Thanksgiving

When your turkey-thieving, town-abandoning, former childhood friend reappears in Licking Thicket after fifteen long years, looking like a snack and smelling like all your favorite treats put together, it might be tempting to, well, dig in. 

Don’t.

And when your plan to teach the man a lesson goes spectacularly awry, becoming less of a wattle-wearing walk of shame around the Thicket’s Thanksgiving festival and more of a sexy turkey-twerk in a skin-tight bird costume featuring the hottest pair of drumsticks the town’s ever seen, you might think it’s time to get over your feud and, well, take a bite.

Resist.

But when Charlton Nutter finally shows you the sweet, pure heart he’s hiding under all his fine, big-city feathers, and you realize, thanks to the town’s meddling matchmakers, that the man is hungry for the kind of love and belonging that only the Thicket can provide, you might decide that both of you have been acting like a pair of turkeys, and in that case you should…

Gobble. Him. Up.

Turkeys will be released on major retail sites (Amazon, Kobo, etc.) after November 21/23

Insatiable Park Avenue Prince, by Brooke Blaine & Ella Frank

Who are we? Like you even need to ask. We’re the seven richer-than-sin legacies causing debauchery at the prestigious Astor University in Manhattan.
Some call us spoiled.
Some call us trouble.
But everyone calls us the Park Avenue Princes.

Donovan “Van” Truitt
“The Model”

Wrong place. Wrong time. Right guy.

Showing up at a very indecent film shoot was an accident. I was a highly paid model. A professional. I didn’t get down and dirty for the cameras, but one look at the sex god needing a scene partner and I found myself reconsidering.

After all, with a name like Sin, a body out of my rugged lumberjack fantasies, and a head full of dirty-blond hair I wanted to grab, he was almost impossible to resist. But I did—until fate put him back in my sights.

The only problem? He was the new rising star of his industry, and that meant he came with conditions.

The proposition: If I wanted a night of “Sin,” I needed to show up for the cameras.
My terms: Make sure my identity remained a mystery.

It was only supposed to be one time, one scene. But I quickly learned that anything less than everything would never be enough with him.

Who would’ve thought my happy accident would lead to so many happy ending…s?

Insatiable Park Avenue Prince is the second standalone novel in the Park Avenue Princes world.

I earned the captaincy fair and square, but Caden Jones doesn’t see it that way. He’s challenging my authority at every turn and bringing discord to the team that’s held together with duct tape and hope.

Caden is set to ruin our chances this year just to show everyone what a terrible leader I am.

Besides, he’s been preoccupied with kissing guys all semester long. Not that I have a problem with that, exactly. But does he have to do it right under my nose?

Dante de Vici’s easy charm and suave suits hide a sadistic streak. With the ability to control blood, he’s proven himself as the Nightshade gang’s most ruthless assassin. Too bad he’d rather be the boss than an attack dog on a leash. He’ll do anything to be Don—even if that means destroying his own allies.

Dante and Leone encounter each other on opposite ends of the battlefield: criminal, meet cop.

But neither will hesitate to betray the other once he’s no longer necessary. Both of them know it. And if either faction finds out they’re working together, it will spell certain death for them both.

As they manufacture the Nightshade’s demise, their unlikely alliance blooms into something more—something powerful enough to shatter their beliefs. But three sides soon threaten to discover them: the Nightshades, the corrupt police, and a rival gang. When this gambit blows up in their faces, will they brave the fire together? Or will they sacrifice each other first?

It’s been months, and Ken’s never even bumped into the guy again, and Cassowary Point isn’t that big. The shock on his face seeing Henry standing in his doorway announcing he’s his new housemate is only surpassed by the mix-up that sees them making do with only one bed.

What follows is a housemates with benefits arrangement. Henry won’t fall for Ken, and Ken can explore his sexuality, not needing to be accepted by anyone other than himself.

One bed, two guys looking for love. What could go wrong?
