You Can Make Me, by R.L. Merrill

Journalist Cooper Harris received a dire warning from a psychic early in his career as an investigative reporter: Your curiosity will lead you to death’s doorstep. That prediction came true when he ignored instructions from law enforcement friends, and showed up to a crime scene only to become the latest victim of a serial killer. He was rescued by the man he desperately loves but denies at every turn—Detective Dennis Hamilton—and left with gruesome and debilitating injuries.

Three months later, Denny is at his wit’s end. He’s done everything in his power to help Cooper heal, but the reporter is obsessed with finding a mythical carnival that is rumored to possess some “woo woo fountain of youth and vitality.” Denny desires Cooper just as he is, but the reporter has always gotten by on his looks and investigative skills. Cooper refuses to give up hunting for answers, even if it means making a deal with the very devil responsible for his scars.

With the help of his trusted friends, and two men not of this time, Denny will fight to stop a killer from finishing what he started with Cooper, the man he has come to cherish. Cooper will have to choose between exposing the secrets of the Carnival of Mysteries, and accepting that love is more important than the truth he seeks.

You Can Make Me is the third book R.L. Merrill has contributed to the Carnival of Mysteries shared world. It can be read as a standalone, but readers will more fully enjoy the story after reading You Can Do Magic and You Can Save Me. Each book in the multi-author Carnival of Mysteries Series stands alone and includes at least one visit to Errante Ame’s Carnival of Mysteries, a magical, multiverse traveling show full of unusual acts, games, and rides. The Carnival changes to suit the world it’s on, so each visit is unique and special.

Tattered Allegiance, by Lee Colgin

When a mixling falls hard for a full-blooded fae, and turmoil brews between the species, which perilous path will they choose?

A forbidden love

Life as a mixling is a struggle for Rahz. The child of a fae father and human mother, he grapples with his identity, unsure of where he fits. Despite it all, he finds a love that defies barriers in his best friend, Jindal. As long as they’re together, Rahz needs nothing else.

A looming war

As a full-blooded fae, Jindal doesn’t fully understand the harsh realities of Rahz’s life. Still, his heart and unwavering loyalty belong to his beloved. The glaring differences in their worlds might create an ever-growing chasm between them, but he refuses to allow anything to tear them apart.

Tested bonds

When a human uprising threatens the delicate balance of the fae world, the young lovers find themselves swept into the tempest. With war on the horizon, and loyalties in question, their bond is put to the test as they face a choice: stay true to each other, or allow a tattered allegiance to crush their vows and hearts alike.

Tattered Allegiance is an introduction to Colgin’s new Luminia Series. It features a steamy friends-to-lovers romance, apricot pastries, found family feels, and spicy times in a hayloft!

Nothing For The Weak, by Flynn Woods

Never believe the rumors.

SAMUEL
I’ve always wanted to leave Red Creek, go to college, and live somewhere I wouldn’t be judged for simply being myself. But then I met Benji on my first day at the farm, and everything changed. Benji wasn’t the kind of guy I was supposed to hang around with. At least, that’s what everyone kept telling me. He had a reputation, a bad attitude, and a chip on his shoulder big enough for the whole town. Yet, every time I ran into him, I didn’t see a thug. I saw someone who stood up for himself and the people he cared about. And even though I should’ve known better, I wanted to become one of those people.

BENJI
I didn’t have anything against Samuel when we first met. He kept his head down and did what he was told. Why should I have cared what people whispered when most of them were full of shit anyway? But once he started talking about college, and I found out he lived in his own apartment—paid for by his parents—I saw red. Was this job on the farm just a cute story he would laugh about with his future professors? I wanted to hate him for turning my reality into a joke. And I almost did. I even planned a prank. But the second I set it into motion, I realized I was wrong—and that I was about to hurt the only person who had ever truly seen me for who I was.

Nothing For The Weak is a slow-burn gay novel, following farm workers Samuel and Benji. In a rural town where neither of them quite fits in, a cruel prank draws the two lost guys—one openly gay and the other unsure of his feelings—into a night of unexpected trust and tenderness. Expect an open-door new adult romance, small-town tension, and a tender Happy For Now ending.

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?

Cut to the Feeling, by A.J. Truman and M.A. Wardell

For Bryce Derrickson, rejection is nothing new. He’s used to Broadway casting directors seeing his size and assuming he can’t be a graceful dancer. But getting dumped with no notice is a special kind of burn. At least his sweet dog Bobo still loves him.

As if being left without warning isn’t bad enough, Bryce’s ex sublets their apartment without telling him, leaving him without a place to live. When his new ‘roommate’ turns out to be a stuffy, elbow-patches-on-blazer, permanent-frown-on-face professor, Bryce is furious. No way will he give up his bohemian pad without a fight.

Years ago, Emerson Grant was on the fast track to being a preeminent scholar in his field, but his lack of people skills has kept him stuck at a commuter school in a cornfield. Landing a guest lecturing spot at a prestigious New York institution could be the jet fuel his career needs to finally take off. That is, if the man and dog blatantly squatting in his sublet don’t drive him bananas first.

Sharing a one-bedroom apartment with a stranger is a New York rite of passage. Sharing it with a stranger you might be falling for is something else entirely.

Cowboys Can’t Kiss, by R.M. Neill
Narrated by Nick J. Russo and B.J. Harrison

Riley Benton
Cowboys break hearts. It’s a known fact.

But my career as a romance planner has me moving back to my hometown of Kissing Ridge—a town so full of cowboys you can’t enter a room without bumping into a Stetson. And I don’t date cowboys. Not that it matters. I build romance for others… not myself.

There’s no way I’m falling for a steer wrestler with a sinful smile and awkward rambles.

I’ve already had one cowboy break my heart. I don’t intend to make it two.

Jackson Sutherland
Riley Benton is all my daydreams brought to life.

And despite that fact, he doesn’t make me self-conscious when my mouth runs away with me and I blurt out random things. I’m pretty sure he thinks I’m cute, too.

We have a connection, and if he’d just let himself accept it and move past the friend zone, we could be beautiful together. But he’s more stubborn than a steer who hates the wash rack.

I’m used to working hard for what I want, but how do I convince him to risk his heart and kiss another cowboy?

Cowboys Can’t Kiss is book one in the Kissing Ridge Cowboy series. It features a hopelessly romantic, but awkward cowboy and a guarded former escort turned romance planner who thinks the friend zone will keep his heart safe. A friends to lovers story with a unique first “date” and all the found family you wish you had can be found in Kissing Ridge. Pass the hummus and remember to look up when the stars are out.

Taste of Blood, by A.J. Church

Forever is a long time for a vampire.

I always thought Asher Winston was my forever.
That’s why cutting him out of my life was like cutting off a limb.
But it had to be done.
If I’d stayed, we would have killed each other.
For ten years I avoided him.
Going through the motions.
Empty and alone.
And then that chance meeting on the street.
Now I’m caught in his web again.
I know where this will lead, but I don’t have the strength to end it.
Because as much as I hate it, the only time I can breathe is when he’s near me.

The Switched-Up Playbook, by A. J. Kyler

NICKO
As a Top Ten draft pick, I‘d been on my way to hockey stardom—until one bad hit on the ice threatened it all. Now I have one year of college left to prove to everyone that I’ve made a full recovery from my injury and am still worth a shot in the NHL.

So my plan for senior year is simple: keep my head down, work hard, win the Frozen Four.

But it all goes right out the window when my twin brother Nate finds himself in a precarious situation, and I’m the only one who can help him.

The only problem? It includes living with his best friend—and my worst enemy. Xander Hart has a way of getting under my skin, and our encounters usually end in disaster.

XANDER
Study hard, make my parents proud, win the Frozen Four—that’s my to-do list for senior year. One thing I did not have on there: losing my best friend.

Nate and I have been inseparable since our first day of college, so I really thought I knew him. But then his behavior changes from one day to the next, and not in a good way. He’s avoiding me, and every time I confront him, we end up fighting. On the ice, however, we are unstoppable.

Suddenly, I’m torn between wanting to punch him—and wanting to kiss him.

Ugh, this year is going to be intense.

The Switched-Up Playbook is the first in a five book standalone mm college romance series, each of them featuring different athletes. Book 1 is filled with heated fights on and off the ice between two rivals, witty banter, spicy scenes, twin shenanigans, and wholesome friendships.

Wizards & Weavers, by Nazri Noor

Braiden Beadle’s craft shop is on its last legs, even though it’s filled with the plushest yarns and the finest fabrics.

Armed with only his wits and his impractical magic of weaving, Braiden must convince the haughty and annoyingly handsome wizard that the dungeon poses no danger to Weathervale. And there’s only one way to be certain: they must explore its depths together.

Can an unlikely adventurer and a windbag wizard find common ground underground? Join Braiden, Augustin, and an evolving party of quirky colleagues as they embark on the cozy quest of a lifetime.

Dante, by Taylor Rylan

Who knew that the Fates would resort to playing the jealousy card to get their way?

Dante Coal is a hellhound with his own demons. Like the others in his pack, he was created to do unspeakable things by his creator. After being banished from his realm, he spent centuries looking for others like him, only to find himself a captive in some jungle. He covertly watches and wonders what is going on, but there is one in particular that his beast is drawn to and feels the need to protect. He will forever live with the guilt that he failed that beautiful being.

Banner Lewis is trying to make a new life after spending time in hell. While being held captive in a compound in a jungle isn’t where he expected to meet his fated mate, that’s what fate decided for him. Sadly, Banner lashed out at his mate once they were rescued, and he’s lived with regret about that moment ever since. Despite his efforts to talk to the hellhound, he has walls up, and Banner can’t blame him.

The Fates have decided Dante and Banner are a perfect match. But are they? Banner regrets what he said to his hellhound mate when they were first rescued, and now the enforcer avoids him at all costs. Dante would love nothing more than to try to build a life with Banner, but can the sweet omega ever forgive him for not being able to protect him from the horrors of the jungle? Dante drags his feet too long, and when the Fates step in and show him what will happen if he doesn’t step up, can Dante win his sweet omega’s forgiveness in time?

Dante is Book Seventeen in the Paranormal Council Enforcers series. Each book in this series will focus on a different couple, but these books are not standalones and should be read in order as there is an ongoing backstory that won’t be resolved quickly. This is a fated mate story in an MPreg world, and there will be at least one baby. You should expect all the normal shenanigans and remember that sometimes even fated mates need a little help.

For a moment there, he’d actually dared hope that somehow he’d chanced across something truly good for once in his miserable life. Something — someone — Sebastian could call his. So of course that’s when he had to go and screw things up, right?

No one could say Sebastian wasn’t warned…
