Bonds of Magic, by Spencer Spears

Cory knows Noah doesn’t like him. The man is cold. Harsh. Impossible to read. So when Noah saves him from a violent encounter with a fellow student, Cory doesn’t know what to make of it. And when Noah’s touch lingers… When his gaze burns… Cory starts to wonder if he’s been wrong about everything.

Now, Noah isn’t just his combat professor—he’s also teaching Cory how to be an incubus. Which means long hours. Closed doors. Too much heat and not enough relief.

Cory’s power is growing fast, and so is his desire for the one man he should stay away from. But giving in has consequences. Cory’s connection to Noah makes him more vulnerable to the incubi who want to control him. And it draws the attention of witches who would kill him if they knew the truth.

Worse still, Noah’s hiding secrets of his own—secrets that tie him to Cory’s dreams in ways neither of them expect.

Cory’s running out of time to master his powers. But with the pull between him and Noah getting stronger every day, resisting temptation might be the most dangerous thing of all.

Bonds of Magic is Book 3 in the Vesperwood Academy: Incubus series. This dark gay romantasy series is high heat with a romance that evolves across all six books. It’s a little more intense than a contemporary Spencer romance, but it still has all the Spencer feels you know and love. It features forbidden romance, professor/student, and hurt/comfort themes with gay awakenings, daddy issues, mystery, and suspense.

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. It also contains steamy scenes and the violence you might expect from a vampire story. Not suitable for readers under 18.

Once Upon a Time, by Kellen Sinclair

Once upon a time, Jeffrey fell in love with his best friend, Tamlin.

Jeffrey may work at Storyville bookstore, but he doesn’t believe in happy endings — not for himself. Tamlin is princely by nature, a heroic pure ray of sunshine. Jeffrey is an irascible grumpy cat, who would likely be cast as a villain’s henchman. He knows Tamlin deserves someone far better; another prince, who will someday sweep him off his feet and carry him off into the sunset. His tenuous acceptance of the platonic status quo is shattered when Tamlin confesses he has a crush on someone. Who is this ‘friend’ Tamlin is romantically interested in? Can he convince Tamlin to banish them to the friend-zone, and consider dating Jeffrey instead?

Once upon a time, Tamlin fell in love with his best friend, Jeffrey.

Tamlin foolishly confessed to Jeffrey that he had a crush on a friend. Jeffrey’s instant response was it’s better to keep things platonic. Jeffrey must have figured out that the ‘friend’ is himself, and he let Tamlin down gently. How can Tamlin get over his romantic feelings, somehow put Jeffrey back in the friend-zone? And why did Jeffrey just ask him out, after he turned down Tamlin’s same request?

It will take three copies of a cult classic fantasy novel, two bungled love confessions, and one meddling famous author, to get Jeffrey and Tamlin to realize that happy endings aren’t just fictional — they can be made real, if they properly use their words.

The Space Between Us, by Flynn Woods

Lost in a small town, I never expected to find comfort in the arms of another man.

Being dumped by my girlfriend and moving to a small rural town by myself was not how I imagined my life after graduation. Not only was the three-bedroom apartment too big for me, but it was also a mess—moving boxes and unfinished furniture everywhere.

My family and friends lived hundreds of miles away, and my two left hands didn’t know how to do anything. To make matters worse, a guy my age banged on my door and yelled at me for parking my car in his space. Couldn’t he give me a break? It was an honest mistake. He screamed that he wasn’t going to do “that” anymore. What the heck was he talking about?

Once that misunderstanding was out of the way, he calmed down, apologized, and even offered to help me with the furniture. Craving some company and help, I promised him a drink in return, and soon, we were laughing about everything. He turned out to be a decent guy—technically proficient, enjoyed a good baseball game as much as the next guy, already divorced at twenty-six—and he had some encouraging words for my situation. I finally felt like I could relax a bit.

Until he asked me if he could help me relax a little more…

The Space Between Us is a new adult, small-town, erotic romance that follows neighbors Ethan and Levi. Expect two bisexual guys falling in love with a man for the first time. What starts as a casual tryst turns into the greatest love either has ever known. The story contains mature themes, language, and explicit sexual scenes. This standalone novella is part of The Secret Collection.

We all know mixing these power dynamics is a recipe for trouble, but my life is already a mess. Will falling for Colin really spell disaster or is he the only thing keeping me upright in my seven-inch heels?

Finding Gideon, by Denver Shaw

Grief led him to a small town. Love found him there.

Gideon Raines has been running for years—from guilt, from grief, from the night that stole his twin brother and shattered what was left of his family. With nothing but a duffel bag and nowhere else to go, he ends up in Foggy Basin, a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it town where the locals are nosy, the diner coffee is strong, and the new vet is way too handsome for Gideon’s peace of mind.

Dr. Malcolm Jones traded city chaos for small-town calm a year ago, buying the local vet clinic and trying to rebuild a quieter life. He’s smart, private, and firmly straight—or so he thought. When a down-on-his-luck drifter with haunted eyes stumbles into his clinic and unexpectedly saves the day, Malcolm offers him a job… and maybe something more.

Gideon doesn’t plan to stay. Malcolm doesn’t know if he can risk his heart again. But the more time they spend together, the harder it is to ignore the slow, relentless heat building between them—aching, undeniable, and oh-so-dangerous.

Welcome to Foggy Basin Season Two. Just passing through? No problem. Here to stay? Well, better find your place. Sit back, relax and get to know the townsfolk. They love hard and play even harder. Each book is a standalone but why not stay and get to know us and read them all?

Tech Prince Troubles, by Blaine D. Arden

He came to disappear. Instead, he found a barista who makes espresso taste like home—and glitches no one else can solve.

Adri Linari, overlooked tech mage and younger sibling of Niralen’s charismatic Crown Prince, is more comfortable with schematics than small talk. Overwhelmed by royal obligations, a sensory-frying engagement party, and the ache of always being the odd one out, he runs—straight to the Renversé Hotel in Princedelphia, Oregon. All he wants is quiet, a place to draw, and maybe fix a few circuits.

He doesn’t expect the barista whose espresso tastes like the calm he radiates.

Single trans dad Sam Walker thrives on structured chaos—managing Café Magnifique, co-parenting five incredible kids, and serving up caffeine and kindness to a revolving door of patrons. Falling for the mysterious, purple-skinned stranger who only ever orders espresso and somehow brightens his mornings? He doesn’t have time for that.

But something’s wrong in the hotel’s west wing, and now they’re tangled in logic-defying glitches that even mess with Sam’s precious machines—and an attraction that won’t stop buzzing.

“Tech Prince Troubles” is a spicy, slow-burn male/male urban fantasy romance full of mysterious glitches, coffee-fueled flirting, found family, single dad vibes, and an opinionated espresso machine named Gandalf. It’s book 6 in the Runaway Prince Hotel collab series, where magical royals find love over a cup of coffee. HEA guaranteed.
