Moranthus is an elf who has lost everything. With his lover dead and his career stagnating, he jumps at a chance to redeem himself by rescuing a human prince from the goblins hunting him—even if failure means death or eternal exile from his homeland.

Gerrick, a human soldier who bears an uncanny resemblance to his prince, has always chosen duty over desire. As the sole parent of his young daughter, he needs the extra coin that working as the prince’s body double provides—even if it may one day cost him his life.

When a case of mistaken identity puts the prince in the hands of a goblin raiding party, Moranthus’s and Gerrick’s paths collide. With winter closing in and miles of hostile goblin lands ahead, they must set aside their differences and work together to bring the prince home safely.

Their deepening connection comes with a growing certainty that rescuing the prince may be fatal. Moranthus and Gerrick must each find a way to reconcile his heart’s desires with his homeland’s needs—or die trying.

Turns out, it has nothing to do with boxing at all.

Savage never notices anyone when he’s in the zone. Adrenaline always keeps him focused on winning and nothing else. There’s something about Pip’s eyes, though. They’re almost unnatural. Savage’s attention is caught. He can’t explain the draw, but Savage can’t stay away. Pip is odd and playful. He’s nothing like the rough and tumble crowd Savage normally runs with. He makes Savage want to risk everything. It’s a race to see which of their secrets ruins them first.

For Maverick Wheeler, the only thing more important to him than his family is music. During the day, he’s a professor of Music Theory, and by night, he plays the piano in a jazz band.

When fate keeps throwing the insufferable Christopher Bishop his way, Chris is the one to lend Maverick a helping hand when he needs one. And even though Maverick is starting to like Christopher the more time they spend together, Maverick knows he’s far too old for him.

Work, school, service.

If Christopher Bishop isn’t busy working at his family’s tow truck business, he’s filling his free time with visiting his grandfather or arguing with Maverick Wheeler. Sparks fly the first time they lay eyes on each other after a misunderstanding, and instead of fizzling out, they burn brighter with every encounter. After a fateful encounter, Christopher begins to realize the stuffy, yet tasty, professor isn’t such a bad guy after all. If only Christopher could convince him to get over their age difference.

A man who’s been moving his whole life finally finds a reason to stay put.

Charlie Matheson has spent his life taking care of things. When his parents died two days before his eighteenth birthday, he took care of his younger brother, even though that meant putting his own dreams on hold. He took care of his father’s hardware store, building it into something known several towns over. He took care of the cat he found in the woods…so now he has a cat.

When a stranger with epic tattoos and a glare to match starts coming into Matheson’s Hardware, buying things seemingly at random and lugging them off in a car so beat-up Charlie feels bad for it, his instinct is to help. When the man comes in for the fifth time in a week, Charlie can’t resist intervening.

Rye Janssen has spent his life breaking things. Promises. His parents’ hearts. Leases. He isn’t used to people wanting to put things back together—not the crumbling house he just inherited, not his future and certainly not him. But the longer he stays in Garnet Run, the more he can see himself belonging there. And the more time he spends with Charlie, the more he can see himself falling asleep in Charlie’s arms…and waking up in them.

Is this what it feels like to have a home—and someone to share it with?

Nick was talking an actual wedding date and building a home in the Port Dock area of Falls Village. He was trying to give Brandon the permanency and stability he craved.

LENGTH: 373 pages

RELEASE DATE: February 23, 2021

BLURB:

I didn’t even like the man whose life I saved.

Kardri Vangrarre is my warlord; I serve as a captain in his army—the Leopard Army. I respect him, and even admire him, but I don’t like him. At all. He’s vain, arrogant, and way too public with his abundant love life. In fact, he was right in the middle of one of his freaky, public orgies when we were attacked. I acted purely on instinct when I pushed him out of the way. I had no idea that I’d get hit instead, or that the green fireball would kill me.

The Leopard Lord didn’t have to save my life just because I saved his, but that’s what he did. He used the Leopard Soul—a magical fae amulet—to give me a piece of his soul, and then his Goddess blessed me with an immortal fae body. And it’s not just my body that’s changed. I’m straight, I love the ladies. Or at least, I did. Now, I can’t stop staring at Kardri, wondering what it would feel like to kiss him and run my hands over that beautiful raven skin. And he won’t stop trying to seduce me, using his vast experience like a weapon.

I feel like I’m on the losing side of a war. But that’s just my personal problems. The greater issue is the new weapon the Farungal attacked us with, and how they created it. We need to focus on that but the more time I spend with Kardri, the more I start to think that losing one war might be just the thing we need to win the other. That is, if I can survive the Leopard Lord’s embrace.

Jordan

Hookups have always been my thing, and expanding new ways of playing has me . . . curious. The idea of submitting to someone’s total domination and care? It feels right when not much else in my life has.

David

Dominance and submission have always been things I need in my life–even when it made me lose someone I loved. It’s a thrilling, fulfilling spark when a submissive hands control over to me. And, for the right man, at the right time, maybe I need to be the one forced to my knees.

I’ve never understood the need to be submissive . . . or dominant, for that matter. Trust doesn’t come easily for me. But there was that one time I watched my best friend with his Sir, and it roused something in me I don’t want to admit. Just like I can’t acknowledge out loud how alone I feel.

Then my friend, Jordan, decides to play with David, a dominant we both know, and I think I’m jealous. They intrigue me separately, but Jordan and David together makes my interest even more explosive. Maybe, I want to let go, to let someone else to take the reins, so I can just be. When the three of us decide to explore together, I realize how good it can feel to be submissive, but I like the other side of it, too. Discovering both my submissive and dominant side with them is just playing. I don’t have it in me to fall in love with one person, so how can I risk the pain of loving two?

Jason Klein’s living with the fallout from a decision he swore was right at the time. He couldn’t tell anyone he was in love, which left him to mourn alone when he found out the man he gave his heart to had been killed in combat.

Now, he’s had time to heal, but he’s not sure he’s ready to let himself move on.

Until he meets Cam Morgan…

Without a job lined up following graduation, Cam Morgan took his best friend up on his offer to move to Milwaukee and stay with him until he could get on his feet. The last thing he wanted to do the day after getting to town was go to a party filled with a bunch of jocks. Sure, they were “professional athletes” but Cam was convinced that bigger bank accounts didn’t make them any more accepting of people like him.

He certainly didn’t expect to meet Jason, the Mavericks’ catcher who broke every stereotype he’d had.

What started out as one hot, sweaty night together quickly grows into something deeper. Jason welcomes Cam into his home and his life, but now he has to teach the younger man that it’s not a sign of weakness to let people help you.

Life as a Dragon Prince is all fun and games…until someone uncovers an ancient law.

Omega dragon shifter Brenton is living his best life. As the middle prince of Montipan, he has all the benefits of his family bloodline with none of the responsibilities…or so he thought. When his brother is unable to attend the General Assembly of Nations on the mainland, representing their island kingdom, he finds himself flying there in his stead. How boring could it be? Spoiler alert: Very! After only two days, he’s ready to skip out early, find somewhere he can be himself, without all the Your Highness nonsense.

Alpha hawk shifter Gavin is boring. Or at least that is what his roommate keeps telling him. Truth is—he kind of likes it that way. If he wanted drama and adventure he’d have stayed with his kind instead of moving to the city for a job that came with its very own cubicle. No. He liked boring just fine. Except, if that were really true, he wouldn’t have taken his roommate’s dare to go to a local munch, would he? Maybe he has a wild side after all. Only one way to find out.

When the pair have an accidental run-in at a coffee shop, they both find something they didn’t know they were looking for. And what begins as an educational first date may end up opening this dragon prince’s eyes to more than some knotting fun… it will open his eyes to love.

Do you want to know what it means to live like me?

It means being forced not to look at him, not to touch him, not to be left alone in the same room as him.

Not to seek him out. Not to want him.

Not to love him.

Do you know how it feels to spend your entire life pretending to be someone else? Do you know what it’s like to love someone who doesn’t want to be loved?

I’ll tell you how it feels.

It feels as if you’re living in constant torment: you know which path you should follow, but you also know that, if you follow that path, you can never turn back.

And I can’t do that to him.

Every day I come back, because I know that he’s waiting for me.

Every day I promise him that he will never have to live without me.

Do you know what it means to live like me?

Do you know how it feels to spend your entire life pretending to be someone else? Do you know what it’s like to love the only person you’re not allowed to love?

You can’t seem to feel anything other than him; when you walk away, you know that you’re turning your back on the only thing that’s good in your life.

Yet you still walk away.

Every day I leave, knowing that he will be standing there, watching.

Every day I ask him to promise me that I will never have to live without him.

To escape an arranged marriage, the king needs a fake fiancé. Stat.

King Bastien’s father locked him into an ironclad betrothal contract with Lady Helena Rey when the two of them were only seven years old. Bas and Helena have never been friends—and not only because she marked their first meeting by dropping a frog down his shirt. He’s been unsuccessfully petitioning Parliament to annul the damn contract ever since he took the throne nine years ago. But with the deadline for officially confirming the engagement rapidly approaching, Bas is getting desperate.

Enter commoner Nico Pereira, manager of the Royal Crest Vineyards, who nurses a secret crush on the king. He’s at the New Palace to unveil a wine that’s the first joint venture between North and South Abarra. No problem, right? Except Nico has a secret: He has a superpower. Not a very strong superpower, but because powers are a privilege reserved for Royals, it still puts him at risk for arrest and prosecution. Nico can usually mask his limited foresight gift under the guise of being an incredibly efficient administrator. But when King Bastien asks him to be his fake fiancé?

Well. Nico never saw that coming.

Nothing if not loyal, Nico accepts the faux-posal, although close proximity to Bastien makes him more than a little… uncomfortable, and the increased scrutiny of government officials threatens to expose his illegal ability. Good thing this engagement is temporary, because being the king’s ex will be a lot less onerous than prison or exile.

Or, if the attacks from a shadowy conspiracy continue, with being dead.

Now Gypsy’s longtime love is gone, and he’s left picking up the pieces of his life while settling his friend’s estate.

Born with a heart defect, he made the most of his time, but in the end, left behind two very different men to process their loss.

Can two grieving men find lasting love together and uncover the connection Kirby already knew existed between them? Dead men can’t talk, but their dreams can still come true—even from the beyond.

Zorvut has discovered his latent magical ability, but none of the warlocks in Aefraya have succeeded in teaching him anything beyond his first spark of power. So with the elven king’s blessing, they flee the elven capital in the night and travel toward human lands, following a rumor in hopes of finding the man who is really Zorvut’s father: Tomlin Whitmore, a retired bard.

Derek’s first step is to break up with his super-sweet boyfriend and only source of support. Just to make it stick, he spreads cheating rumors. It’s harsh, but he figures it’s better than letting Hunter watch him slowly wither away like Nana did.

Step two, borrow money from a loan shark. Why not? He’ll be dead before the man can collect a dime. Step three, go to Atlantic City the weekend before surgery and make it rain. Steps four through seven are obvious… surgery, chemo, radiation, and then death when none of it works because he’s never been that lucky.

Except, nothing goes to plan. Not only does Derek win big, he goes home and beats cancer too. And just when his bad luck starts to resurface, the luckiest thing ever happens. He meets a hot guy named Asher Matthews—an amazing tattoo artist who decides it’s time for Derek to learn… How to Live.

Two stubborn alpha men meet the one boy who wants them both…

Denali knows what he wants. He loves his job in the Residence of the White House, but what he craves is serving. A Dom. Or in his case: two.

When tragedy strikes once again, Denali offers himself to Milan, the president’s brother in law. Milan accepts, but he insists Secret Service agent Asher joins them as well. Denali is more than fine with that. Two hot, dominant men is even better than one, right?

One encounter leads to more. Asher warns Denali that he can’t fall for Milan, that the tough, closed off Dom will break his heart. He’s learned that the hard way himself. But Denali knows no other way than to give himself completely, and he’s willing to deal with the consequences.

When Milan and Asher prove to be too stubborn to see the truth, it’s Denali who shows them that love is worth taking a risk for. But will it be enough to bring them together? And how will everyone heal and move on after the most devastating blow yet?

Memphis is battling a past that’s come back to haunt him and the irresistible draw Preacher seems to have over him, but each time he gets close, Memphis pulls away. Can Preacher keep Memphis safe and convince him that he can trust him with his body and his heart?
