Halo, by E.M. Lindsey

One mistake: Victor got into the wrong car.
One decision: Oliver didn’t kick him out.
One lie: neither of them knows who the other person is—at least, not until it’s too late to turn back.

There are many words for what Oliver does for a living, and none of them are very kind. Oliver’s time in that industry is nearly at an end, so when a gorgeous older man with sad eyes stumbles into his path, Oliver finds it impossible to turn him away.

Victor looks at him like he’s an angel, even when Oliver feels like a devil, but he knows better than to hope. After all, men like them are only ever destined for star-crossed love.

As months of separation carry on, Oliver realizes that maybe he really is willing to fight for what he wants and, more importantly, for who.

Halo is a standalone novel featuring an age gap romance, the best hot wings known to man, the merits of good gas station burritos, aquarium dates, meteor showers, lava lamp mood lighting, kissing hands, and the most hard-won happily ever after you may ever hear.

Ripped, by Linden Bell

My life went from great to disaster in under five minutes.

Connor
It was just another Friday night, bringing home takeout for a cozy evening in with my boyfriend. Only to find him wearing nothing but a towel and my best friend frantically trying to put his clothes back on. It didn’t take a genius to figure out what was going on.

It’s been four years since my husband passed, and I’ve been caught in a limbo of merely existing ever since. But with Connor in my house and awakening all these feelings in me, maybe it’s time I start living again.

The Cowboy and the Hacker, by Jackie North

Will you go with me? Yes, to the ends of the earth and back again.

Cal
Cal made a coding mistake that got him arrested and far away from Preston, his horrible boyfriend.

After over a year in jail, he’s touch-starved and afraid. Not of doing his parole in the wilds of Wyoming, but that Preston will come and force him back to Denver.

In the valley, when Cal is assigned to Zeke Malloy’s team, his luck starts to change because Zeke is patient and kind, both with the horses and with Cal.

Cal doesn’t trust anyone now, except Cal’s crush on Zeke starts with a single word of kindness. A warm touch. And the smile in those green eyes.

Zeke
After a horse fell on him, Zeke’s bronc riding days are over. His girlfriend wants a buckle-wearing man, not a broken one, and leaves him.

Zeke finds he doesn’t care that he’s alone now. But he can’t stop thinking about the time Galen Parnell asked him out, as if there was something Galen saw in Zeke.

Was he gay?

When Zeke starts to work with Cal Tamalin, the only parolee on his team, he begins to think maybe Galen had been on to something.

Getting close to Cal can only spell disaster, and surely Zeke’s had enough of those, right?

He shouldn’t take the risk, but doesn’t think his heart can resist the biggest blue eyes Zeke has ever seen.

The Cowboy and the Hacker is a story of forbidden love with hurt/comfort, bi-awakening, mutual rescue, only one tent, moccasins, a bear, maybe two bears, two men and three ponies on a long, lonesome ride, and of course an HEA. It is book 5 in the Farthingdale Valley series but can be read as a standalone.

He wants to spread his wings…but can he trust them when he’s never been allowed to fly?

Perrin Shade’s family has worked for the phoenix shifters for hundreds of years. It was always assumed he would do the same. But as his thirtieth birthday approaches, the restlessness he’s kept hidden grows. He only knows Mont de Leucoy. He’s never had a chance to explore the world. But there is a reason his family sought sanctuary in the kingdom…

He is the kind of paranormal being that many would like to forget exists. The kind that even paranormals hunted.

A ghoul.

He is a phoenix shifter and his brothers have been searching for him. They claim to know him, but how can they when he doesn’t know himself?

They have their history, their duties, and their expectations. He should be embracing all of this, but instead, all he wants to do is leave before the weight of the past crushes him. The only person who treats him as if he isn’t broken is the castle handyman, Perrin.

Can a man who is really a monster help the man who is convinced he is a monster learn how to live and love?

This is the last book in the mm phoenix shifter series, Brothers of Fire which is set in the same world as the Familiar Mates series and the Outcast Pack series.

Can a little Christmas romance heal a bruised and battered heart?

One kiss.

That’s all Reed can offer the hot guy who’s kept him company on what would otherwise have been a lonely New Year’s Eve. What he needs right now is a friend, preferably one not connected to his ex. One long distance friendship later and that’s exactly what he’s got.

Friends.

That’s what they’ve been for the past ten months, so when Reed needs a place to stay, offering him his spare room seems like the perfect solution to Jerry. Or so he thought. But keeping their hands off each other is hard. They’re both adults, though, right? They can fool around a little and not lose the friendship they’ve both come to rely on.

At least that’s the plan, but Jerry’s heart is always a little softer at Christmas. Throw some close proximity and mistletoe into the mix and that soft heart is in danger of breaking, because while Reed still doesn’t want a relationship, it’s all Jerry wants from Santa this year.

Festive Hearts and Kisses is a low-angst MM holiday romance. Expect: forced proximity, a tiny bit of hurt/comfort, awesome pets, and all the snuggly holiday feels. Set in a shared world, each book in the Hope Valley Christmas collection can be read as a stand alone, starting with Festive Friends with Benefits.

The Tenor’s Shadow, by J.B. Warrick

One temperamental opera singer. One vampire bodyguard. Let the sparks and secrets fly.

Anthony wouldn’t let anything stand in his way.

His career as an operatic tenor was finally taking off, and he would be damned if he let some stalker keep him from his globe-hopping musical dreams. But he had made the mistake of telling his uncle about the threatening letters the creep had been leaving in his hotel room.

Now he was saddled with a muscle-bound bodyguard who was seriously cramping his love life, even if the guy did have a swoony accent and the perfect number of freckles. No matter what Anthony did, he couldn’t get rid of the stubborn redheaded Brit. Freddie just didn’t fit in with his glamorous life of encores and galas and schmoozing. And how did the man never sleep?

Freddie was there to do a job.

Or maybe a few. He had been content as head of security for the Hughes vampire coven in London. But now he’d been sent to America to keep his coven master’s nephew safe from the threat of a rival coven. He knew the rules. Anthony couldn’t find out about the existence of vampires, and he certainly couldn’t find out that Freddie was one. Plus, he had to manage Anthony’s demanding personality, and Freddie was painfully bad with people. And he absolutely one-hundred-percent had to keep himself from hooking up with the overbearing American.

When friction erupts into steamy passion, can Freddie and Anthony forge a relationship together? Or will Freddie’s secrets and the deadly vampires of the Azarian coven tear them apart?

The Tenor’s Shadow is a 50,000-word MM vampire romance with a guaranteed HEA and no cliffhanger. It contains a strong-but-silent vampire bodyguard and the high strung opera singer that falls fast for him.
