Balance, by EM Denning

★ FEATURED NEW RELEASE ★
Amazon, Kindle Unlimited

The last thing Matthew Kincaid needs is to get involved with Troye Whittaker.

Troye’s impulsiveness doesn’t make the best first impression on Matthew when it gets them both kicked off a flight. Stranded and remorseful, Troye agrees to let Matthew share his hotel room. Despite the terrible way they met, Matthew is quickly enamored with Troye, who is more than the walking disaster he first appeared to be.

Troye Whittaker is a semi-famous streamer. He’s built up a solid following playing games online and earning himself millions of subscribers. He has a secret love for cozy games and has a lot of ideas to offer someone like Matthew, the CEO of Gemstone Games and a part-time philanthropist whose work benefits foster kids.

Troye might be impulsive, but he’s thoughtful and brilliant and just the kind of talent Matthew needs on his team. But if Troye is going to work for him, they probably shouldn’t get involved. Too bad Matthew’s already in too deep to let go.

Troye tries to stay grounded, but Matthew is dreaming big. He thinks he can have it all. His company. His charity. His brilliant new consultant, and maybe even the love of his life.


Previously published in the Candy Hearts Charity Anthology under the title, Grounded and has been expanded into a full length novel.

Hellhounds Never Lie, by Lori Ames

★ FEATURED DEAL – 99c ★
Amazon, Kindle Unlimited

A mage without magic. A hellhound without a home. A greedy wolf pack in the hills.

Ash is technically a fire mage, but he can’t do much. Turning his bedroom lights on and off without having to get out of bed isn’t exactly awe inspiring, not when anyone with the right gadget could clap and do the same thing.

Worse, sometimes he senses something bigger and brighter lurking under his skin, and it feels so familiar he knows it has to be his magic, but then he burps or sneezes, and the feeling passes. So it’s probably just allergies… or gas.

Yeah… Not exactly brimming with magical oomph. Not anymore.

It sucks.

But things start to change when he finds Dillon, a hellhound, being chased through the woods by an angry wolf pack. He is instantly smitten and it’s like something inside him unlocks. What’s even crazier is Dillon seems to think Ash still has magic… and now Ash isn’t sure what to believe.

What he does know is he’ll do what needs to be done to protect his friends and the little supernatural town of Willow Lake from the dirtbag wolves in the hills. Even with his magic on the fritz he can help, right? And, with Dillon at his side, what could possibly go wrong?

Tags: MM Paranormal Romance with Fated Mates! A hellhound looking for a home, a fire mage without magic, a talking cat, a small town full of supernatural beings, size difference (BIG hellhound, small mage), fated mates, Ash has scars inside and out, Dillon wants to hurt people who hurt Ash, Ash is always cold (hello, big fluffy pink sweaters even in summer), and a curious human BFF who knows nothing about supes but has a very active imagination.

Grief & Glitter, by RJ Scott & VL Locey

NEW RELEASE
Amazon, Kindle Unlimited

Haunted by the past. Fighting for the future. Finding love in between.

Gideon “Taft” Taftwell has spent years outrunning the past—on the ice, in the gym, and behind a carefully built wall of silence. As kids, he and his brothers spent countless hours dreaming about professional hockey and everything that came after. Then one reckless moment changed everything. Ten years later, he’s still carrying the guilt of this brother’s death and the certainty that his family is right to blame him.

Ryan Vale had dreams of beauty school, movie sets, and making a name for himself in Hollywood. Instead, one bad decision became another, and before he knew it, addiction had stolen years he could never get back. Now sober and rebuilding his life one day at a time, he finds an unexpected purpose working for the Rochester Copperheads, sharpening skates and staying focused on the future rather than the past.

When their paths cross, neither man is looking for love. Taft is haunted by a loss that’s shaped every part of his life, while Ryan is fighting every day to become the man he wants to be. Friendship comes first, then trust, and slowly something deeper. But moving forward means confronting old wounds, and both men know that healing is never as simple as letting go.

Grief & Glitter is an emotional MM hockey romance featuring a recovering addict, a hockey player carrying ten years of guilt, slow-burn romance, found family, healing, hope, and two men discovering that forgiveness—especially for themselves—can change everything.

Rookie Moves, by Jodi Oliver

NEW RELEASE
Amazon, Kindle Unlimited

COLBY

For almost ten years, the world of hockey has had their eyes on me, watching my every move.
I’m projected to be the first overall pick in the NHL draft this summer, and have been nicknamed a franchise altering talent.
But with high praise comes a lot of pressure I can’t escape, and has resulted in me being a rookie in more ways than one.
The only problem is there’s only one person I feel safe with, and I’m pretty sure there are rules about not crushing on your teammate.

TYLER

Ever since I met Colby, I’ve kept an eye on him. No one should have to put up with the pressure the world has laid on his gorgeous shoulders and the defeated look in his beautiful eyes.
But you shouldn’t notice these things about your teammates.
So when Colby asks me to teach him everything I know in the bedroom because I’m the only one he feels safe with?
I should say no, but there’s nothing I wouldn’t do for Colby McKay.
I should’ve known it wouldn’t be as simple as a friends with benefits arrangement.

Checking Out the Librarian, by Anna Richland

NEW RELEASE
Amazon, Kindle Unlimited

SPICY NEW MM ROMANCE perfect for readers who enjoy banter-filled MM contemporary romances like Boyfriend Material by Alexis Hall, A Time to Shine by Rachel Reid, The Unlikely Heir by Jax Calder, or Cat Sebastian’s Star Shipped.

When his out-of-town hookup turns out to be the library’s new hire, the first item on Connor’s to-do list is CHECKING OUT THE LIBRARIAN.

CONNOR. Connor McMillan has his life together. Mostly. Teaching second graders is a perfect job for his high energy, but why can’t he find a boyfriend who likes his enthusiasm too? He wants someone in the bleachers cheering just for him, someone to cook dinner with, someone who will maybe, possibly, dress up and do a little Regency cosplay, but that last thing he doesn’t say out loud.

JONATHAN. Starting over in Oregon means Jonathan Park has to try new things, meet people who don’t work at the library, and hope that this time he won’t repeat the same mistakes. Who’s he kidding? He self-sabotages the hell out of anything good, but maybe the first step to self-improvement is saying yes to a real date with his internet hookup.

And step two? Learning to pet Connor’s dog.

Connor’s friends caution him to be more chill, but every time he looks at the man he wants to call his boyfriend, his brain chases his tail.

Unlocking the librarian’s fortified heart will be a challenge, but Connor’s taught kids to read. How hard can it be to teach Jonathan to say I love you?


CHECKING OUT THE LIBRARIAN is a spicy male-male romantic comedy for readers who want a (mostly) low-angst read with a library kitten, bedroom role play, softball games and county fair food, but please use the Look Inside feature to read the content warning about the one bad thing that happens.

Angel of Thursdays, by Lucina Luo

NEW RELEASE
Amazon, Kindle Unlimited

Cassiel has never brought a man home to his parents. Then he hires one.

As a child, Cassiel Lim named himself after the angel of temperance and time. Now he repairs watches, and his life runs like clockwork. He’s autistic, keeps his world quiet and manageable, and his mother is afraid he’ll die alone. When a family dinner for a major Korean holiday looms, he books a date through an app.

May Huang is a dishwasher in Chinatown, managing a brain injury and ADHD with color-coded notebooks and phone alarms. He’s chatty, good with parents, and needs the money, so he takes the gig. They meet on a Thursday to build their cover story, then again the next Thursday.

It was meant to end after one dinner. Instead the days stretch into Christmas, then into a new year. The fake life is starting to look real, built on money neither mentions and a story that was never true. Neither of them is ready for what happens when the arrangement stops being one.

Too Close to Home, by C F White

NEW RELEASE
Amazon, Kindle Unlimited

Starting over might mean getting too close.

When DI Harrison Black transfers from the Met to the small Yorkshire town of Hartswick, he’s chasing distance—from London, guilt, and the grief of losing his husband.

He expects a quieter life.

Instead, within hours of his arrival, a seventeen-year-old girl vanishes on a woodland path, plunging Harrison straight into a case with a chilling echo. Thirteen years earlier, another young woman disappeared from the very same place.

Robyn Whitton was never found.

Her brother Jake never stopped looking for her.

Roofer. Drummer. Ex-con. Local troublemaker with a temper and absolutely no faith in the police, Jake Whitton is everything Harrison should keep at arm’s length. He’s also fiercely loyal, infuriatingly persistent, and determined to involve himself in Harrison’s investigation whether Harrison likes it or not.

Which would be considerably easier if Harrison weren’t becoming far too interested in the man behind all that anger.

Jake knows better than to trust a copper. The police failed Robyn. Then they failed him. And DI Harrison Black, with his quiet authority, wedding ring and grief he wears like armour, should be the last man capable of getting beneath Jake’s skin.

Except he does.

Jake knows how to want a man. He’s far less comfortable with wanting one to stay.

As a present-day disappearance drags Robyn’s cold case back into the light, Harrison and Jake are pulled closer together, blurring the line between professional and personal. Because Harrison isn’t only getting dangerously close to a man connected to his investigation.

He might finally be getting close to the truth.

And in a town that has kept its secrets for thirteen years, someone will do anything to make sure they stay buried.

For Harrison, getting too close could cost him his career.
For Jake, it could cost him the answers he’s spent half his life searching for.
For both of them, it could cost far more than they’re ready to lose.

Too Close to Home is Book One of the Whitton & Black trilogy, a gritty MM romantic suspense featuring a widowed detective, a hot-headed ex-con roofer, cop × cop-hater tension, age gap, forbidden attraction, forced proximity, hurt/comfort and a slow-burn romance that develops across all three books.

Divine Temptations: The Complete Series, by Zwahk Muchoney

NEW RELEASE – 99c

Amazon, Kindle Unlimited

The Entire MM Angel/Demon Erotic Romance Series, as Narrated by a Gay Goblin King (Divine Temptations Books 1-4)

Badinel, a hot, gay goblin king, runs a notorious blog devoted to scandalous tales of angels and demons. Divine Temptations unfolds through two interwoven threads: a dramatic saga of love and power struggles in the infernal realms, and Badinel’s irreverent, comedic misadventures in Seattle.

Book one: The Devil’s Beloved

Satan falls for a handsome angel of wrath, igniting a spicy, opposites-attract love affair. Meanwhile, Satan’s vengeful ex, the angel Abaddon, schemes to exploit the forbidden romance to seize the crown of Hell.

Book two: Prince Abaddon

Rideriel, an angel shamed for being attracted to his own kind, chooses to fall from Heaven. When Hell claims him, its new ruler, Prince Abaddon, binds him in a dangerous game of passion. This queer dark fantasy explores themes of obsession, identity, and transformation.

Book three: The Raven and the Songbird

Angel Rideriel has become the ruler of Hell, but for political reasons, his love affair with the raven-headed Marquis Andras must remain secret. To preserve Rideriel’s crown, Andras keeps his distance so no one will suspect how close they are. However, despite his jealousy, he suggests the new king seek pleasure among the palace’s courtesans: Toro the minotaur, Valos, the siren, and Nekoya, a two-tailed cat demon. Yet as Rideriel explores Hell’s delights, one truth remains: no indulgence can quiet the pull of the raven he loves.

Book four: The Gay Goblin King

Goblin King Badinel visits a tavern for ale and perhaps a bi elf fling when a masked man claiming to be the Rat King bursts in, offering him a most indecent proposal. Never one to refuse a hedonistic distraction, Badinel agrees. After an overzealous encounter involving an irate fae swarm, he plans to ditch the admittedly sexy Rat King, only to get trapped in pirouetting rat horde induced forced proximity. As they travel together, both realize they are tragic misfits suffering from a broken heart, until they join together, deciding to try for their happily ever after.

Dragon’s Ending, by Joy Lynn Fielding

NEW RELEASE

Amazon, Kindle Unlimited

Dragon history was easy. This particular dragon? Anything but.

I was sent to Dragon’s Ending to uncover lost dragon history. What I found was Dominic Bedwyr.

The heir to one of Britain’s oldest dragon-shifter families, Dominic has a reputation for turning heads and causing trouble in equal measure. He flirts. He provokes. He has an infuriating habit of appearing when least expected and interrupting my research.

And each time I think I’ve worked Dominic out, he proves me wrong. Because behind the studied indifference, I catch glimpses of someone else entirely. He’s a man born to inherit everything, yet trusted with nothing.

Before long, I catch myself listening for his footsteps. Waiting for him to appear by my side, pretending not to help and somehow making me laugh anyway.

But dragon families are complicated. Dominic’s, most of all.

It’s one thing to fall in love with Dominic. It’s another to fall in love with the Bedwyr heir.

Axe Backwards, by May Archer

NEW RELEASE

Amazon, Kindle Unlimited

A fake engagement to the hot sheriff who escorted me to family camp? Weirdly delightful.
Failing to tell him that my family is a bunch of professional thieves? Small oversight.

I left the Callahan family business years ago. These days I’m a law-abiding citizen. A photographer who takes nothing but pictures. A man who’s learned not to get greedy for anything… or anyone.

But my family hasn’t gotten that memo, so I expect my week at family camp to be filled with guilt-trippy attempts to lure me back into the fold.

Until Holden Axford comes along… and everything goes axe backwards.

Winsome’s gorgeous sheriff was supposed to be nothing more than a one-night-stand. He doesn’t have a clue why I’m dreading this week, but he takes his protection game seriously. So when he thinks I need a rescue, he steps in and declares himself my fiancé… and I’m too busy swooning to argue.

Now Holden’s sharing my bed, stealing kisses like Callahans steal Rembrandts, planning a camp heist (for fun, obvs!), and charming my family of criminals.

Our motto is ‘Callahans don’t get caught’ but nobody warned me about catching feelings.

Unfortunately, secrets don’t stay buried forever. And when someone forces the Callahans toward one last impossible job, protecting the family I love means becoming the man I swore I’d never be again.

But if Holden learns the truth about my past, it’ll be goodbye fake engagement, goodbye sheriff… goodbye heart.

Prince and Assassin, by Tavia Lark

SALE – 99¢

Amazon, Kindle Unlimited

He’s supposed to kill Prince Julien. Not fall for him.

Whisper doesn’t remember his real name. All he knows is the elite assassin guild that raised him—and controls him with the threat of blood magic. He doesn’t get to refuse assignments, even when his new job doesn’t make sense:

Infiltrate Prince Julien’s court, protect him until the signal arrives, then kill him.

Julien hides his political talent behind his playboy reputation. He trusts nobody besides his brothers, and he certainly doesn’t trust the sad-eyed, beautiful new stranger at court. But Whisper’s vulnerability and kindness draw Julien in anyway—especially when Whisper saves Julien’s life.

Then Julien rescues Whisper too, and Whisper’s reserve shatters.

Beneath Julien’s carefree facade is a warmth Whisper can’t resist. Whisper’s never been comforted before. He’s never been cared for like this. Julien’s protective touch is the solace Whisper desperately needs—but falling in love could ruin them both.

Because Whisper’s mission hasn’t changed, and the price for failure is worse than death.

Prince and Assassin is a high fantasy gay romance, with secret identities, hurt/comfort, and magic tigers with attitude. The Perilous Courts series is best read in order, but each book follows a different prince and his Happily Ever After.

Demons Dig Donuts, by K.L. Hiers

NEW RELEASE

Amazon, Kindle Unlimited

Indy Summers is no stranger to the world of monsters hidden within Somerstown. After selling his soul to save himself, he has come to know many quite intimately.

Specializing in entertaining the supernatural has given him a special notoriety. He is highly sought after and always booked, though he longs for a connection beyond the physical. His circumstances don’t offer much room for romance, so he’s settled for being grateful to be alive and still fabulous.

That is until a strange man gives him a magical ring that he can’t get off, a ring that countless fiends are now after to claim its powers for their own.

Including the dreaded demon mob boss, Mr. Heiss.

Mr. Heiss will stop at nothing to seize the ring for himself, and Indy is along for the ride until they can figure out how to remove it. The attraction is instant but so is the tension, and Indy might have found the one monster immune to his charms. As danger unfolds, the lines blur and Indy finds himself growing closer to Mr. Heiss in unexpected ways. There’s a chance he wants something from Indy more valuable than any artifact, his body, or even his soul:

His heart.

When one casual hangout blossoms into friendship, I can’t help feeling I’ve misjudged the man I’ve spent months annoying.

But Rupert guards his heart carefully. He’s convinced nobody wants to be around someone so prickly and sensitive, and refuses to let anyone in.

I’m not one to back down from a challenge, and I know there’s more to the bright, beautiful man next door than he’s ever let anyone see. It won’t be easy, but I’m determined to show Rupert he’s not the unlovable irritation he believes himself to be. In fact, we might just be perfect for each other.

A Daddy to Love, by Wendy Rathbone

NEW RELEASE

Amazon, Kindle Unlimited

One little who is shy and virginal. One daddy who is bold and experienced. Can two men who’ve never known true love discover ultimate compatibility?

Kairo doesn’t like bringing anyone home. Inheriting his grandfather’s estate when he was twenty-one has made him reclusive. He has been warned his whole life: “Most people will love you only for your money.”

When he meets a popular man at gay bar, he can’t get him out of his thoughts. Is he even a daddy? It doesn’t matter; the guy seems totally out of his league.


Truce’s popularity follows him everywhere. It’s flattering to have many friends. But that’s all he has. No permanent boyfriend. At 34, he’s never been in love. He’s into all types of fun from kink to vanilla. But he’s never felt that moment when things click into place.

Where is the longing, the warm ecstasy that remains long after the orgasm is over? It must exist only in the realms of fiction and not for Truce.

Or it might mean taking a leap of faith toward something special and unexpected.

Twist of Fate, by Macy Blake

NEW RELEASE

Amazon, Kindle Unlimited

Connal is a Fae warrior on a secret mission in the human realm, where his magic barely works, the customs make no sense, and the locals apparently keep enormous water-spewing monsters as emergency vehicles.

He is not having a good time.

Then he finds his mate.

Luke is a highly trained human spy with a mission of his own—and absolutely no intention of letting the gorgeous lunatic he just met derail it. He has secrets to protect, a dangerous assignment to finish, and no reason to believe Connal’s claim that fate has bound them together.

Unfortunately, leaving his newly discovered mate behind isn’t an option as far as Connal is concerned. Taking Luke somewhere safe seems like the only reasonable solution.

Luke would like the record to show that Fae and humans have very different definitions of reasonable.

Especially since Connal’s version involves kidnapping him to the Unseelie Realm.

Luke’s mission may be connected to the very threat Connal was sent to find. Now Luke and Connal have to untangle what’s happening between their worlds while figuring out something even more complicated: each other.

Fate may have made them mates. Falling in love? Well, that’s on them.

Twist of Fate is the first book in the Mated to the Fae series, featuring fated mates, fish out of water, forced proximity, found family, a competent spy with limited patience, an overprotective Fae warrior with even less, and a happily ever after.

Technical Advances, by Madalyn George

Amazon, Kindle Unlimited

Benji
The Anson Day stands before me. The founder of a billion dollar tech company, the man I’ve idolized since I was a kid. The man whose picture may have helped clued me in to my sexuality. The Anson Day is interviewing me, about-to-be Doctor Benjamin Warren for a job at New Day Technologies. If I wasn’t so jazzed, and confused, and … attracted, I may have wondered why the head of a famous international company was interviewing an entry level employee.

Anson
It’s the smartest work to cross my desk, well, possibly ever. A project so close to my own that my business team was worried about espionage. But, no, I can tell this work is unique and I can tell that the author and I are barreling toward the same conclusions. But when Benji looks me directly in the eye, not with hero-worship, or scientific interest, but with something deeper, more intense, more real, are those conclusions work related, or something more?

Technical Advances is an age-gap, workplace romance, with a hint of dad’s old friend thrown in. Join Anson and Benji in the private lab where they are supposed to be working on a technical advancement that will rock the medical world, if they can stop staring into each other’s eyes long enough to finish the project.
