When Zach wouldn’t—couldn’t—come out, Eugenio made the devastating choice to move on, demanding a trade away from Oakland. Away from Zach.

Darkness grows in the realm of Taleth. To the west, a power-hungry despot schemes to conquer kingdoms and territories alike by chasing an ancient elven prophecy that could give him the power to rule all. In the east, after a prince’s murder goes years unanswered, a princess learns there was much more to her brother’s death—and to her life—than she realized.
The House of Kjenelach is shaken to its foundation when Princess Sigrid is stolen away. Her faithful guardian, Sir Senne Clayward, reluctantly accepts help from his nemesis, a notorious halfling mercenary of questionable morals—but indispensable tracking skills—called Kasimir vas Hjardar.
Kasimir makes his living hunting monsters, both creatures and men. While he exists outside the law, he lives by his own unassailable code of honor. At the top of that list: never harm a child. When he turns down a contract to kidnap Sigrid and later finds out she was taken by someone else, he offers his help to the prickly knight tasked with protecting her.
Together, they embark upon a journey across the continent to save Sigrid and foil King Prosper’s plans to conquer Taleth. The way is fraught with dangers and pitfalls, from supernatural beasts to Senne’s deathly fear of magic, but they must not fail, for Sigrid may very well be the savior of the realm: the long prophesied Aisnellach Fuil. Somehow, the two men must set their differences aside and work together to rescue Sigrid, and possibly find love along the way.

Oliver delights in control—at work as a top-tier lawyer, at home as a happy bachelor, and in the bedroom as a demanding Dom. That control slips when he meets Cujo, a stray Chihuahua who is just as vicious as she is tiny. Luckily, Blake, the young artist and dog-walker who comes to Oliver’s aid, is a miracle worker. When Oliver works late or has to travel, Blake is a text away. When Cujo needs a sweater or allergy medicine and growls in that way that promises bloodshed, Blake is there to save the day.
It hasn’t escaped Oliver’s attention that in addition to being useful, Blake is also smart, funny, and sexy. But Oliver can control himself, no matter how wild his imagination runs when he considers what he’d like to do with Blake. Besides, what are the odds that Blake’s tastes would intersect with Oliver’s very specific kinks?
Blake’s life is kind of a mess. He has nothing to show for his art degree except a portfolio reminding him that now, every time he gets in front of a canvas, he’s struck with a splitting headache before he can create anything worthwhile. His dog-walking business isn’t much of a business, really—it doesn’t pay the bills—but it’s the only thing he’s done lately that he feels good about. Things don’t seem like they could get any more bleak, and then he’s busted for marijuana possession.
And when he’s escorted to the courtroom in cuffs, the last person he expects to see on the bench in judge’s robes is Oliver… the dog-walking client he’s had a crush on since the day they met.

Gentry:
The only thing I’ve ever wanted in life was to serve others. I know myself; I’ve read every self-help book on personal growth I could stomach. My main love language is acts of service. I like helping others. There’s nothing wrong with wanting to be subservient; I’m not weak because I prefer to let someone else take charge. I’m not weak. Except, I am. I’m an addict and I’ve hit rock bottom. All I want is someone to take control and help me stop hurting myself.
Jericho:
Contentment in life might be the most underrated ideal. Happiness is great, but only comes in fleeting moments: a quick smile on your face and laugh in your heart. Contentment is long term and sustainable. It’s habits that make sense and personal growth that keeps you on an even keel. I love my life; I’ve found contentment with a good job, good dog, and good friends. At least that’s true until this little slip of a man who wears skirts and responds better to commands than questions comes into my life with a bang. I didn’t even know I needed him, but I know I’m not enough for him.
Salem:
After a decade on the ice, drilling for oil on the northern slope of Alaska and traveling the world in search of adventure and some kind of life, it’s my twin, living in our hometown, who finds the future I’m looking for. I ran to Alaska because kids do dumb shit; I ran to the Slope because Alaska wasn’t far enough to escape myself. I’ve grown up since then, discovered who I am, and now I’m about to run home, because I won’t be the one to stand in the way of my dreams coming true..

Twenty-one-year-old Ernie isn’t prudish about wearing his sexy Spiderman costume that leaves little to the imagination. After all, he’s ready for some spicy action as his Halloween treat. Granted, he’d still prefer having a boyfriend over a meaningless hookup, even though he’s never known what love is, but his exes turned out to be a waste of his time. He’s been leaning toward older men these days because guys his age never seem to know what they want. Still, a little fun along the way wouldn’t hurt, would it?
Enter twenty-nine-year-old Logan, a hookup who’s more beautiful and irresistible than any man Ernie has ever met, perfect for a Halloween treat. But after an awkward misunderstanding, Logan turns out to be asexual, and he isn’t so easy to get in bed with. So much for a spicy treat! In fact, a big part of his romantic past still surrounds him and Ernie when they meet for the first time, and it’s impossible to avoid. While not all asexual people are against having sex, Logan still has his limits and won’t do all the things Ernie finds more pleasurable. Logan may not find anyone sexually attractive, but he has a big heart to offer as a sweeter kind of treat.
This unexpected new experience confuses Ernie as he gets to know Logan some more. He’s used to only one way to love a man, or in his personal experience, no way at all. Being around Logan can be a challenge for both Ernie’s heart and body. Can he look past Logan’s limits and give this sweet treat a chance? Is there something deeper than anything Ernie’s ever felt?

As someone who grew up in the city, I experience some culture shock when I travel to the picturesque, small town of Wintervale to help an older couple launch their new ski resort. While almost everyone warmly welcomes me, I seem to rub the owners’ son the wrong way. While Albie seems determined to chase me away, his feisty nature makes him irresistible to me, despite our fifteen year age difference.
It may not be love at first sight, but by the fourth time we meet, I feel like I’m starring in my very own romantic comedy with Albie. Can the magic of a small town bring us a happily ever after worthy of the best schmoopy movies?

When Patrick’s roommate moves out, he picks up odd jobs to avoid needing another roommate. He runs errands, cleans apartments, and even goes to the laundromat for people. It’s just like any other job, until he swings open a dryer and finds a restaurant name with a date and time on it.
Both men take a chance on the restaurant, but are they willing to take a chance on love?

Desperate men do crazy things. But faking their own kidnapping might be a tad extreme…
Archer
They called me the Arrow back in my army days because I moved like the wind—silent and deadly. That all changed on the night that left me permanently injured, discharged from the army, and in constant pain.
Working in private security was supposed to be an easier pace, or at least it was until I was tasked with babysitting the most arrogant, self-entitled, infuriating man I have ever met.
I never should have helped him.
Never should have let my guard down.
Never should have wanted him.
Felix
Spoilt, entitled, arrogant…yeah, I’ve heard it all before. But being my father’s son, no wait—

If only people knew the truth. My father hates me more than anyone I know. And now he’s threatening to disown me if I don’t change who I am. I need to escape, to free myself from his power. But it’s not as if a knight in shining armor is about to ride on in and save me…
As soon I lay eyes on the hulking man my father has hired to watch me, I know he’s going to be my way out.
I’ve got a plan, and Archer Benson is the man who’s going to help me escape. He just doesn’t know it yet.

I was eager to attend Super U in the hopes of finding other people with superpowers who wouldn’t shun me for being a telepath. How should I have known that the hot guy I met on the train there was going to be my professor?
A chance encounter on the train leads to Ciaran ending up in bed with Salvatore – until they get interrupted halfway through. It isn’t til Ciaran drags his holdall into the dorms on the first day of university that they meet again, as professor and student. Shy and insecure Ciaran wants to keep his head down and finally be accepted for who he is. An affair with a professor would jeopardise his chance of using his talents for good.
Salvatore has problems beyond realising that he’s slept with an undergraduate – his nemesis, Lady Diamond, has escaped her prison and is wreaking a trail of sabotage across Europe. Years ago, she defected from Sal’s team to become a villain, crippling him in the process and forcing him into retirement from the field. And now she’s coming back to finish the job. He can’t afford to be distracted by a one-night stand he’s obviously too old for.
But as Lady Diamond closes in, Ciaran and Sal will need to work together to protect the city – and each other.
