Fire and Smoke, by AE Via

“A ruthless meth dealer is torching Atlanta’s streets, and God and Day are striking back with two of Hollywood’s legendary pyro experts.”

The war raging through Atlanta isn’t just about drugs—it’s about power, leverage, and survival. God and Day’s task force is the only barrier standing between a growing plague and the city’s safety.

Wes and Law, childhood friends turned blacklisted pyrotechnic rivals, are hiding out in Atlanta until the fire they started in Hollywood is extinguished.

It seemed like a safe choice—until they’re dragged into the task force’s frontline fight. Now they’re trading cinematic special effects for real explosions and blood in the streets.

God and Day’s team is fracturing under secrets and betrayal, as the merciless army of their fiercest kingpin yet slowly closes in.

They used to fight to conquer… now they’re just fighting to survive.

Just Like Magic, by Ellie Roth

The witches are rioting again.
Figures. They overreact to everything.

Anwer Alexander, son of the notoriously anti-magic governor, has everything he wants in life: a good job, amazing parents, and an annoying brat of a younger sister. But when his sister Shay manifests the same kind of magic powers that get countless teenagers kicked out of their houses, Anwer has to scramble to find her a witch who can show her how to control them—and make sure their parents don’t find out.

Christian Lewis, the most powerful magic user in the tristate area, doesn’t know what to do with himself when the Alexander siblings ask him to teach Shay in exchange for Anwer helping Chris with a life-changing ritual. But no matter how much he hates their parents, Chris has never been able to say no to mentoring a newbie magic user from a toxic household—even though her scowling older brother infuriates him.

As the long summer days grow warmer, Anwer and Chris find themselves slowly drawing closer to each other over Shay’s training. Sparks fly when Shay decides that she wants to compete in the Santiago, the largest magic tournament of the year, but will the five-day competition be the beginning of something more or the end of everything Anwer and Chris hoped for?

Top Shelf, by E.M. Lindsey

No one ever explained to me what to do when the man who took your virginity turns out to be the one in charge of your physical therapy.

NHL veteran Quinn Rhodes was supposed to be a one-time thing: just a hookup who kisses like a dream and screws like a god.

Then, three weeks later, a freak accident threatens to destroy my debut NHL career before it begins. And if almost losing my spot on my team wasn’t bad enough, I walk into my PT’s office and find him assigned to my recovery.

I can handle this, damn it. I can keep it professional.

And for a short while, it seems like Quinn’s willing to do the same. But it doesn’t take long for the two of us to shut our mouths and let our bodies do the talking.

If this was just physical, two guys scratching an itch, I could handle it. But deep down, I know there’s more to it.

These stolen moments between us mean something. After all, Quinn doesn’t smile for just anyone, and the way he holds me when our hookups are over tells me that this thing between us doesn’t have to end the moment my knee is healed.

The only question is, will either one of us be brave enough to take a shot on that goal?

Top Shelf is a stand alone, MM high heat, grumpy/sunshine rom-com set in the Love The Game Universe. It contains a freshly signed NHL prospect with autism, a crochet habit, and no idea what direction he wants his future to go in, a retired NHL player who just wants a calm, quiet existence, several moments of being at the right place at the right time—even when it feels wrong—dates that they don’t know are dates, amigurumi as a love language, and a swoony, steamy happily ever after.

Just Add Ice, by L.C. Chase

Sparks fly when ice meets fire.

After eight years in the minors, Rayne “Rain the Pain” Hamilton has realized two things: One, his chances of getting called up to the Big Show are rapidly dwindling with each passing season; and two, he needs a plan for life after hockey. What he doesn’t bargain for is the gorgeous instructor at the fire training center he attends during the off season, who ignites his heart with burning desire.

Nick Seavers had a great life until his husband died suddenly, and his sun blinked out. His demanding career firefighting and teaching the next generation of firefighters are the only things keeping him sane. The last thing he wants is one of the new trainees, a larger-than-life hockey player with mischievous eyes, taking up space in his head and making him feel things he never thought he’d feel again.

As the heat rises between Rayne and Nick, Rayne receives an offer for a new contract and has to decide: Move to yet another city and start all over again or step off the ice and into the fire with Nick.

Moody as a Minotaur, by Lori Ames

Magic isn’t real, is it?

Parker’s intuition has been itching for months—no, it’s probably closer to years—telling him something isn’t quite right in Willow Lake. But sometimes it’s safer to ignore the feeling than expose truths you don’t want to face. Especially when Levi, the handsome and beefy owner of the local motel, is right in the middle of all the weirdness.

Okay, okay.

Parker might have an itty-bitty crush on the big guy, but who can blame him? Levi is delicious… and as the owner of a café, Parker knows a thing or two about tasty treats.

And now Parker’s Nana is in town and she hasn’t come alone. She’s dragged his cousin and his paranormal investigative team along with her. But her arrival couldn’t have come at a worse time, because Parker was finally making progress with Levi.

Now what is he supposed to do? Because, for the record, it is incredibly difficult to flirt when your grandmother is eyeing everyone, including Levi, like she’s in the FBI and they are in the Mafia… or like she’s Van Helsing hunting down a bunch of powerful supernatural beings.

Because that’s ridiculous. Really.

Right?

Wonder, by Bix Barrow

Does it still qualify as a mating of convenience when one partner is all in? Asking for a vampire friend…
Simon:
Look, I get it. It’s a shock when some random vampire shows up out of the blue and says you’re his mate. I don’t blame Reno for not welcoming me with open arms. He’s had a lot of responsibilities thrust on him in the last few years, and this mate thing is too much on top of all that.

But me? I have no doubt Reno’s the one I’ve been waiting for. I’ve been trying to find my mate for decades, enduring years of loneliness as I struggled to complete my mission. I’d love nothing more than to give Reno the time and space he needs to get to know me and embrace our mating.

There’s just this one teeny, tiny, deadly issue: Wonders are in danger, and as a Seer, Reno’s in a unique position to find the ones hunting them so I can take them out. Being mated will boost both of our abilities, so when Reno agrees to complete our bond, I’m relieved and ecstatic.

At least until he tells me it can only be temporary.

Reno:
FFS, fine. I’ll do the bonding thing, but only because Wonders are dying and Simon and I need the enhanced skills we’ll get. Yes, he’s easy on the eyes and a super nice guy. He’d make a great mate for anybody who’s in the market for one, but that’s not me.

Two years ago, I took on the District Monitor role short-term. But there’s still no replacement, and I’m constantly barraged by texts and calls from the Wonders. I had to quit the job I loved, and I barely have any time to myself. Now I’m supposed to be thrilled because some guy says we’re mates? No, thank you, I don’t need another obligation. We’ll sever the bond after the danger is over. Simon isn’t happy, but he promised.

Soon I’ll be a free man again, and Simon will find someone else he’s compatible with. We’ll both get what we want.

As long as we survive this fight.

Wonder is a medium-angst contemporary paranormal romance with psychics, magic, suspense, humor, found family, a dramatic rescue, and… is that Ms. Jackson? HEA guaranteed!

His Heart Knows, by Riley Long

A rubber duck-collecting book nerd finally gets kissed by his maybe not-so-straight best friend. How can they turn the page on the past and write the HEA they both deserve?

Axel
I’m the saddest gay stereotype. I’ve been in love with my straight best friend for fifteen years. He, of course, is oblivious, and perfectly happy sleeping his way through half the women in town night after night.

Me, I’m not built for hookups. And when other men ask me on dates, I turn them down. They just don’t measure up to Sawyer. He’s the only one who supports my dream of being a bookstore owner, and he’s the only one who doesn’t make fun of my rubber duck collection. He even defends me to his overbearing mom.

But we’re thirty now. I need to let go of my romantic feelings for him and find someone who can love me the way I deserve.

Unfortunately, when you’ve let one person consume your unrequited feelings for so long, you don’t get much real-world practice with other men. Like kissing. And… other stuff.

Cue me drowning my sorrows with a bottle of gin and going off on an epic self-pitying rant. Who do I rant to? My best friend Sawyer, of course.

And then, who decides to prove I’m not as bad a kisser as I think I am? My best friend Sawyer, of course.

Wait a second.

I’ve dreamed my entire adult life about having Sawyer’s lips on mine, but I never expected it to actually happen. And… Why is he acting like he’s actually enjoying this kiss?

His Heart Knows is a low-angst MM romance with a bi-awakening, a moderate amount of pining, a large amount of rubber duckies, and a guaranteed HEA.

Atlas & Miles, by Lincoln Mercer

Will a grumpy former jock come out for his gendersparkly sunshine Daddy before it’s too late?

Atlas
Being forced to move home at thirty-seven wasn’t my idea of a good time, especially with my high school reunion looming. But then I saw Miles again, and I knew I had to make him mine. Though with him still in the closet, would he even want a fabulous out-and-proud twink as his Daddy?

Miles
Twenty years since high school, and all I had to show for it was being the town’s go-to handyman and a list of casual hookups to keep my bed—and my a**—warm. Putting my needs on the back burner for so long had left me grumpy and alone, and something had been missing for a while. I needed a Daddy. But who would want a tall, jacked sub like me?

With my relationship with Atlas heating up, I knew I had to make a choice: hold on to my secret for the rest of my life or claim this sunshine human as mine. But would he leave before he gave me a chance?

Atlas & Miles is an 18+ grumpy/sunshine, opposites attract, size difference, Daddy (no age play) romance between a genderfluid hottie who loves makeup, dresses, and topping from the bottom (usually) and the muscled handyman who needs a love that chooses him for always.

He, by Larry Benjamin

I remembered black eyes and bruised ribs and hands heavy with prayer like fists raining down.

Preacher’s kid Jackson and orphaned Oren grow up in the same dusty, poor, Bible-thumping farm town. When they meet at sixteen, they discover they have more in common than just their roots and brutal upbringing. Together, they begin to explore their orientation and their burgeoning love for each other. When they are threatened with consignment in conversion camp, they abruptly leave town together. Oren attends college, while Jackson learns a trade. In their new surroundings, they discover friends and a sense of safety for the first time.

Forty years later, when a shocking act of betrayal destroys their relationship, each is left wondering if there can be love after the apocalypse as they look back on a past they cannot change and a future they cannot predict.

When Oren reluctantly attends his fortieth high school reunion and reconnects with his high school crush, sparks unexpectedly fly.

A remarkable tale of romance and resilience, using the premise that orientation is simply a pattern of attraction, He explores what happens when that pattern is broken.

Told epistolary style through journal entries and Facebook messages, the book is divided into periods, each of which is denoted by a color, rather than traditional chapters.

After years proving he doesn’t need anyone… Jace finds a cowboy hard to resist.

JACE
Jace Wilde has practically run his family’s ranch single-handedly for years. He doesn’t need help.

He certainly doesn’t need some mysterious Texan cowboy coming in and taking over.

And he definitely doesn’t need Lorenzo Morales looking at him like he can see straight through to the little buried deep inside—the part craving soft touch, sweet praise, and more alpaca stuffies.

It’s when Lorenzo’s voice drops low and commanding, and those calloused hands turn gentle and Jace begins to wonder. Has he finally found a Daddy, or is Lorenzo just another cowboy passing through?

Lorenzo’s hands were ready guide him, his voice to soothe him, and his heart to prove some cowboys know how to be Daddy too. But first, he’s got to overcome his own demons.

When two cowboys discover what they need in each other, will they fight it… or will they surrender to something sweet?

Read Jace Wilde & Lorenzo Morales’ story.

Storm and Shelter, by Karenna Colcroft

A year ago, Quinn Boucher was in his third year of university. He had plans. A life. And then in one night, it was all ripped away by violent werewolves who changed Quinn and held him captive for a month. Now, a year later, Quinn is healing. He has safety in the Massachusetts home of the U.S. Anax, ruler of all werewolves in the country. And he has the love and support of the older man fate brought into his life, his mate Malachi. But as the anniversary of his change passes, Quinn has no respite from his memories. If only Malachi wasn’t so far away.

At 130 years old, Malachi Powers never wanted a mate. Never wanted to command another. And then destiny gave him Quinn. Now, after six months, he can no longer imagine his life without the young man who obeys his word. When the U.S. Anax requests that Malachi come to spend Christmas with Quinn, Malachi accepts the offer. And when the Anax offers to allow Quinn to travel back to Nova Scotia to spend time with Malachi, both are thrilled.

Staying at Malachi’s winterized island cottage, Quinn and Malachi feel out how it will be when they are finally able to fully combine their lives. But the isolation, Quinn’s memories and concerns about the Anax, and the impending full moon take their toll on both men. When Quinn’s trauma gets the best of him and he runs, Malachi questions whether he can truly be the partner his young mate needs. Perhaps they would be better off living apart.
