When a bookworm on borrowed time meets a younger, free-spirited chicken farmer, sparks and feathers fly…
Harrison Phillip Fletcher III isn’t supposed to be here. Not in Burlington, Vermont, not running Vino & Veritas, a quaint inclusive bookstore and wine bar, and definitely not still alive at forty-two. Also not supposed to be here? An unexpected delivery of chickens.
Finn Barnes knows chickens. The burly organic farmer knows all about rare breed poultry, but dealing with a hot, older bookseller is an entirely different matter. City slicker types like Harrison never end up staying in Vermont for the long-term.
They should steer clear of each other. But the flare of attraction is mutual. And somehow, amid book discussions and farm tours, they discover plenty in common. Now they’re stealing kisses in Finn’s barn, sneaking out like teens, and burning up the sheets.
What starts as a fling brings very real feelings for two lonely souls, but a future together seems as unlikely as chickens in a bookstore. Feathers may be flying, but learning to trust takes time neither may have. Can they take a leap of faith together before it’s too late?

Nick
There were always eyes on me. It came with the job. Which meant that I had to watch every single thing I did. All the time.
I always had this huge part of myself buried so deep inside that I felt like a fraud most of the time.
Everything was going according to plan until him. The stranger across the dark club pulled me in with his intense eyes.
I thought it was for the best that he left that night before I could find out who he was. Then he showed back up in my life as my newly-hired bodyguard. Something I could easily tell he wasn’t happy about.
But the more time he spent around me, the more I could tell he liked me. I didn’t need his words to know that. And the thing that sucked was that I started to really like him too.
Just when I started to think the only threat surrounding me was putting my heart— and possibly career— on the line, I was reminded just how dangerous being a celebrity could get.
Jameson
I didn’t speak by choice. But that didn’t stop Mr. Movie Star from understanding the deepest parts of me. I wanted to hate this job, I wanted to hate him. Except the more I was around him, the harder I fell for him.
Which was something I wouldn’t allow myself to do. I didn’t deserve it.
Just focus on the job, protect him. I told myself that time and time again. But he quickly became more than a job and though I knew he wasn’t ready for what I wanted to give him, I was willing to take what I could.
I was there to protect him. There was one little problem though, I had to keep him in the dark about how serious the threat really was.
And when the danger started closing in, I feared I might not be able to save him.

How did my life get so complicated?
Starting a food pantry, my heart’s deepest desire, was finally happening. . Fate has funny timing. With my dream coming true, I find myself responsible for two homeless boys with deep secrets and their sassy “guardian” who isn’t talking either.
That would be enough to handle without my weekly hook-up, Officer Marcus LeBleu, sniffing around. Does he need to be hot and perfect? Volunteering his time and services is great, but again…timing.
Everyone adores him, conspiring against me to nudge us together. But only I know the danger I face if he finds out about my secret roommates. The one thing I know for sure is these kids need to be mine—safe, warm, and fed. Trusting Marcus is a risk, jeopardizing his career and my heart if the secrets come out. Not taking the chance on him might be the real mistake though.

Kevin Green has always been the life of the party. He’s the one everyone turns to for a bit of comic relief. With so many of his teammates coming out of the closet and living healthy lives, it’s getting harder for him to keep the secret only one other person knows: that he’s not as straight as everyone assumes when they see him out with his hot girlfriend.

An outcast necromancer and a half-demon clerk need to save the world from seashell zombies. No pressure.
Everyone’s always told Aspic that trouble can’t help following him because of his heritage. Determined to put the lie to half-demon stereotypes, he’s finally landed a good, quiet job as an herbalist’s clerk where the owner trusts him to man the shop alone. What could go wrong selling coriander and thyme?
When Geoffrey first enters the shop, Aspic finds the little man’s eccentric appearance startling, then intriguing. Geoffrey explains, in stops and starts, that he is a theoretical necromancer researching replacements for blood magic. His current line of inquiry involves seashells—do they have any in stock? Aspic’s co-workers warn him that Geoffrey is a walking disaster, but he finds himself more and more drawn to a necromancer concerned with ethical death magic.
Aspic is with Geoffrey in his lab when he has his first success, but the results aren’t at all what he was aiming for. Instead of raising the dead rabbit on his table, the ritual animates the seashell and rock spell components, which flee the lab and cause havoc. They soon discover that the spell-animated objects are “zombies” in that they can “infect” other inanimate things.
An unorthodox necromancer and an exasperated shop clerk are going to need some unconventional help to find a working de-animation spell before the world is overrun by zombie seashells and stones gone mad.

If you’re looking for a good time, I’m your guy. I love hookups, shaking my booty at the club, and having fun. I’ve seen how love can hurt and have mended too many broken hearts to risk my own.
Still, having Clark back in my life makes me feel grounded…and sort of mushy inside. It’s not only because his chunky glasses turn him into an adorably hot Clark Kent. It’s also how he makes me feel like I can be more. Which is why hooking up with him is a bad idea. But resisting him becomes impossible, and before I know it, each touch, kiss, and night spent together only makes me crave more.
We want different things, so there’s no way this will last. But Clark makes me consider breaking my rules and trying this boyfriend stuff for real. What’s a guy to do when his best friend steals the heart he’s afraid to give? I guess it comes down to potentially hurting him, or losing the only guy I’ve ever really wanted. Pretty wild, right?

1924, Chicago. Prohibition is in full swing and gang bosses rule the city with might—and magic.
When Sam Cunningham flees his small-town life to try his luck in the big city of Chicago, he quickly finds himself in over his head in a world of gangs, glitz, and glamour. Fortunately, he has his cousin Eldon to teach him the trade of hex-making.
Everything changes the night Sam visits The Pride speakeasy and meets grumpy cheetah-shifter Alistair Gatti. After losing his first witch to the horrors of the World War, Alistair isn’t interested in any new entanglements, romantic or magical. Especially when said entanglement comes in the form of kind, innocent Sam.
When Eldon is brutally murdered, Sam becomes drawn into the dark underworld of the Chicago gangs. Sam must find the missing hex Eldon created for one of the crime bosses—before whoever killed Eldon comes back for him.
Together, Alistair and Sam begin the search for the mysterious hex, diving deep into the seedy side of Chicago’s underworld while dodging rival gangs. And as they come to rely on one another, Alistair realizes he’s falling for the one man he can’t afford to love.

When Les picks up a man called Phil at the box office of the Albert Hall when he goes to buy tickets to a Promenade Concert, Percy inadvertently gets thrown together with Adrian Framlingham, Phil’s friend.
Adrian is all the things Percy likes in a man…funny, kind and steady. When Les gets hurt, Percy turns to Adrian for support, but as the end of the summer looms it seems as if their affair will come to a natural end.
What will happen when Percy goes back to his everyday life as a house-master? Will he and Adrian stay in touch? Does he even want a long-distance relationship when arranging to meet someone for sex is still illegal, even if the act itself is not?

Matthew – My love life is kind of a mess. Okay, fine, it’s non existent. Believe it or not, short, chubby, and furry aren’t characteristics that top most guys’ boyfriend checklists; no guys I’ve met, anyway. My dating history is a shit parade of one night stands with men who promised to call the next day but never did. And so, I’ve put finding love on the back burner to focus on my business.
I own a bakery called Muffin Tops (get it?) with my best friend Val. I do all of the baking and she handles ordering and accounting…and talking to our customers because I have an awkward streak in me. Anyway, business is good, but it could be better, so I’ve scheduled a meeting at The Caldwell, the fanciest and most successful hotel in the city in hopes of striking a business deal with them.
Nervous but hopeful, I head to my meeting, not expecting to have my world rocked when I meet Simon; a gorgeous, debonair, charming man who is sixteen years my senior. What starts off as a business partnership soon develops into something greater than I ever dreamed of.

Tyko Saari is tired of taking the blame for the Thunderbirds’ terrible season. He’s just the goalie; he can’t do the whole team’s job, especially when the defense keeps hanging him out to dry. He definitely doesn’t expect anything to change when Seth gets traded.
In the wake of a viral PR video, the fanbase decides that Seth and Tyko are dating. Faking a relationship for positive press coverage isn’t in their contract, but they both have their reasons for agreeing to do it.
Of course, the longer they pretend, the blurrier the line between real and fake becomes. But none of this was ever going to be real—was it?
