Beneath the Indigo Sky, by Rayne Hawthorne  and D.W. Michaels

Namid
I may not know where I come from, or who I am, but I’ve done my best to build a life for myself. I know a handful of people in town, I have a nice place to live, and I enjoy my job. I look just like everyone else. But I don’t feel like everyone else, because I feel…everything.

The emotions of others get tangled with my own as they race through my heart and sink into my soul.
They set my nerves on fire and rearrange my cells and spread across my skin until they consume me.

Jayce
I don’t know how to explain what it’s like to lose half of your soul, to fall into grief so dark and relentless that you lose yourself.
That’s what it feels like I’ve lost. Half of my soul.
I don’t want to do this.
I don’t want to try to fill in the gaps.
I don’t want to walk into rooms that are populated by memories.
I don’t want to hear the voice of a ghost echoing in my head.

When the eccentric, introverted man who was found on the side of the road without any memories a decade ago takes pity on me and offers his help, for some reason, I find myself unable to say no.

Even though I don’t know him, when he’s standing by my side, for one brief moment, I forget to hurt.

Beneath the Indigo Sky is a 75000 word, MM, slow burn, contemporary romance filled with angst, grief, found family, longing, forests, road trips, stargazing, sweet dates, and of course a HEA. There are also minor paranormal elements that are left deliberately open to reader interpretation.

Picture This, by Flynn Woods

My roommate has a secret OnlyMens account. If I only hadn’t subscribed…

My four new jock roommates quickly accepted me as one of their own—except for Leon, who was distant from the start. It makes sense, though. Leon is the university’s heartthrob—athletic, intelligent, and mysterious. In comparison, I’m just some random gay nerd who somehow ended up living with him because I got adult content unblocked on the university’s Wi-Fi.

No matter what I tried, I couldn’t get on Leon’s good side. Guys like him never hang with people like me—let alone go further than that. It didn’t help that the more he distanced himself from me, the more my thoughts revolved around him. So when I used my computer skills to learn more about him—to find something I could use to connect with him—I stumbled upon his secret.

Leon has a secret OnlyMens account.

Not wasting two seconds thinking about it, I subscribed to his page. What I saw surpassed all my expectations, and everything was exciting until… I suddenly got a private message from him.

Picture This is a gay, new adult, erotic romance following college roommates Ace and Leon. This book contains mature themes, language, and explicit sexual scenes. This standalone is part of The Secret Collection.

My Dirty Witch, by RM Neill

I suck at magic.

That’s normally not a bad thing, but when you’re a witch?

Honestly, having been banished to earth and in the company of humans isn’t that bad. I mean, I have a home, friends, and even a few hobbies, but that doesn’t stop me from being plagued with nightmares or make breaking the curse feel any less impossible.

And while it feels like spending my life alone is inevitable, I crave the physical touch of a lover. The itch to find my heart’s mate is back and louder than ever.

When your best friend’s dad is your wingman—and a demon—it’s all kinds of awkward meeting the love of your life.
But here we are.

The adorable and eccentric owner of the magic store believes in witches and is into the same kink I am. I want to say that it’s fate, or meant to be, but when nothing in my life has ever been easy, I don’t want to get my hopes up.

Is my love life finally going to evolve from spying on my roommates or am I destined to remain a virgin for eternity?

While this book can be read as a standalone, you may enjoy it more if read book one in the series first.

A witch, a werewolf, and a vampire bound by the magic of fate.

Rainbow
There’s nothing scarier than a vampire, so when my coven is taken over by a nest of the creatures, I do the smart thing and flee.

Griffin
All I want to do is get my pack through this truce and secure peace, no matter what it takes. I don’t have time for love, and definitely not with my witch neighbor and his vampire stalker. Of course, it doesn’t seem to matter what I want when fate and Sunny have other ideas.

Sunny
As soon as I scented him, I knew Rainbow was mine. How was I to know cleaning his room and leaving cute notes was creepy?

Romeo vs Romeo, by Hayden Hall

The sexy newcomer at Neon Nights hates me. I’m not too thrilled about him, either, except that those hungry eyes full of hateful desire do wild things to me.

I know I shouldn’t meddle with a closet case. Good Catholic boys are nothing but trouble and heartbreak.

Except that this Catholic boy is a foot taller and a foot wider, with dusty blond hair and piercing blue eyes. My legs turn to jelly whenever he comes near me. And all of a sudden, I’m messing around with the exact type of guy I should avoid. My time would be better spent protecting our safe space from demolition, but my obsession with Everett consumes my body and my soul.

If only things were as simple as all that.

Just when I think that Everett and I could have something a little like a future together, I discover who he really is. Everett Langley is the son and heir of the very man who is trying to build a luxury hotel after he ruins our neighborhood.

Neon Nights is at risk and I am never scared to be the first line of defense. But this time, standing up for the bar that shelters all the outcasts and runaways in the neighborhood means fighting the very person I am falling in love with.

Romeo vs Romeo is the second book in The Boys of Hudson Burrow Series. It’s a new adult romance featuring a good Catholic boy on the point of breaking, a rebel with a lot of kindness underneath the rough exterior, and a plot to destroy Neon Nights, the heart of the neighborhood. Romeo vs Romeo can be read on its own, but it’s much more enjoyable to read these books in order. This is Roman and Everett’s story.

Love Set Free, by Shae Michaels

I, Phoenix Oliver Wilding…have been kidnapped.

Phoenix
It’s always been a hypothetical, lurking in the back of my mind. Growing up as the only child of parents with stupid levels of money meant being kidnapped is always a possibility. But I never actually feared it. At least, not until I wake up locked in a cage.
At first, he’s just a voice—a fellow victim of a dastardly plot. Jackson becomes my comfort, my sanity, the thing fueling my determination to gain my freedom and return to my life. And when I do get free, I’m taking him with me. This man, that I haven’t even seen, is mine.

Jackson
Desperation and stupidity are perhaps the only abundant things in my life. But I never could’ve imagined that they’d lead me here, blindfolded and trapped in a cage.
His voice is a welcome companion in the darkness. With questions and teasing whispers, he draws me in, closing the distance between us in a way our physical reality won’t allow us. I don’t know when fellowship turns to more—to want, to need. Something I’ve never felt for another man. But I’m not about to give it up, give him up. No matter what.

Love Set Free is a darker, MM romance with themes of kidnapping, bonding through trauma, and codependency. It does contain on-page violence and death (not of a main character).

Hugh, by Gabbi Grey

Narrated by Michael Ferraiuolo

Hugh
Having spent more than twenty years as an emergency medicine physician in war zones around the world, I barely have a home to speak of. A daughter I didn’t know about has died and left a child behind, so I must get to Gaynor Beach, California to claim my granddaughter. Her temporary guardian is the first man to spark my interest in a very long time, but it would be inappropriate for me to have a relationship with this much-younger man.

Oscar
Gutted by my best friend’s death, I take solace in the daughter she left in my guardianship. I’ll protect this precious baby with all I have, and no one is going to take her away from me—least of all the man who turns up on our doorstep claiming to be her grandfather.

This is a hurt/comfort, interracial, age-gap, MM romance novel with a moderate amount of angst.

According to the strange spirit, he’s having the time of his life being more infamous in death than he was in life. With the colorful locals placing bets on whether or not Cope and Company can solve the Case of the Penniless Playboy, it’s a race to the finish to find out who murdered Cyrus before the killer can strike again.

More than Need, by Aurora Crane

One surprise visit changes everything, and three men find out what it means to need.

Problems come in threes. That’s why Riley Sinclair has two rules in life: no relationships and no inviting anyone into his home. Then a woman claiming to be his biological sister waltzes into his life, he finds himself in the arms of one of his detectives, and his sister’s best friend decides to pay him a visit—a man who instantly gets under his skin and makes Riley want to do bad things to him. Three is a terrible number.

Gideon Clark is openly bisexual, recently divorced, and trying to figure out what his life looks like now and how to fit in time with his son. He doesn’t expect his new life to include his boss and another man who brings with him an intense complication.

Dawson Sheppard only wanted to confront the man who’d made his best friend cry—he definitely didn’t mean to sleep with him. He can’t tell his best friend what he’s doing behind her back, and he can’t make himself stop what he’s started with two men who turn him inside out. Now what is he supposed to do?

They can’t let go of each other, and secrets are slowly building. They’re breaking the rules, and they’re going to have to make choices about what matters most and what’s more important than need.

More than Need is an MMM romance that is set in the Chain Reaction universe but can be read as a standalone. It contains steamy situations, a newly divorced main character (not hostile), and on-page discussions of main-character adoption. There’s also plenty of banter, heat, and a swoony HEA.
