Zeke has always had the strength to fight for what he loves. But this time will he have the strength to walk away?
The shifter pack call him a human alpha, but Zeke Coleman knows he’ll never be one of them. Not really. And he hasn’t let it bother him in years, not until he meets a beautiful, damaged omega Darriel—and falls hard for the second time in his life.
After years of abuse, it takes a long time for Darriel to trust again, especially a human. But Zeke’s hang-ups about age and his place among shifters keep them apart, and Darriel forces himself to move on for the sake of his children. No matter how much he loves Zeke, Darriel refuses to risk another alpha who won’t love him back the way deserves.
But when Zeke is kidnapped and tortured by a panther clan, they can’t stay away from each other any longer. The problem is, everyone in Zeke’s life is in danger now, and he’s the only one who knows what’s going on. Even telling Darriel the truth could get him killed.
And he might be nothing more than a weak human, but Zeke will fight to the death before letting shifters hurt someone else he loves.

Asa Mulvaney is half of a psychopathic whole. He and his twin brother live together, party together…kill together. In the Mulvaney family, murder is the family business and business is good. When an experiment separates Asa and his brother, Asa is forced to navigate the world on his own for the first time in his life.
Zane Scott is a small-time crime blogger and amateur sleuth, but he dreams of a byline in a major paper someday. When he winds up at a boring fundraiser beside Asa Mulvaney, they share an intensely passionate encounter that leaves Zane with an ache in his chest and a story idea that could make his career dreams a reality.
At a nearby college, a cluster of suicides isn’t what it seems. When Asa’s father asks him to look into it, he sees the perfect opportunity to see his little crime reporter again. And Asa needs to see him again. Zane’s suspicious of Asa’s motives, but he won’t say no to a chance to peek behind the Mulvaney family curtains.
As the two unravel a sinister plot, Asa’s obsession with Zane grows and Zane finds being Asa’s sole focus outweighs almost anything, maybe even his career–which is good for Asa because loving a Mulvaney is a full-time job. Can he convince Zane that he’s worth navigating a family of psychopaths and his pathologically jealous twin, or will Zane learn the hard way that the Mulvaney boys always get what they want? Always.

Karim’s only spark of hope is an unexpected mission: play chauffeur for a famous rock star. That is, “famous” … Karim only likes 80s tunes, so he doesn’t have a clue who this guy really is. And honestly? You couldn’t say they hit it off immediately. The man who calls himself Angel Dust is surly, withdrawn, haughty, outright hostile. He also turns out to be… stunningly handsome. Karim’s dream guy.
Ugh. Nothing can come out of this encounter. A chauffeur and his illustrious client, both from different worlds, with clashing characters… And yet, to get into a rock star’s bed might not be the most difficult thing on earth (you can ask any groupie out there).

BLURB:
A veteran hockey player and a rookie can’t get away from each other—or their own desires—in this sexy, heartfelt opposites-attract hockey romance.
Olly Järvinen has a long way to go. He’s got a fresh start playing for a new team, but getting his hockey career back on track is going to take more than a change of scenery. He’s got to shut his past out and focus. On the game, not on his rookie roommate and his annoyingly sunny disposition—and annoyingly distracting good looks.
All Benji Bryzinski ever wanted was to play in the big leagues, and he’s not going to waste one single second of his rookie season. Yoga, kale smoothies and guided meditation help keep his head in the game. But his roommate keeps knocking him off track. Maybe it’s just that Olly is a grumpy bastard. Or maybe it’s something else, something Benji doesn’t have a name for yet.
Olly and Benji spend all their time together—on the ice, in the locker room, in their apartment—and ignoring their unspoken feelings isn’t making them go away. Acting on attraction is one thing, but turning a season’s fling into forever would mean facing the past—and redefining the future.

That’s why his lacrosse teammates are so important to him — they’ve become the closest thing he’s found to a real family. Being bounced around constantly between different homes with just a plastic bag of his possessions taught Owen there was no such thing as love. But if that’s true, why does Theo feel like a home he’s never known? Owen is convinced that nothing will stop him from protecting Theo — but what if the choice is between his found family and his first love?
When all seems lost, both have choices to make. Will they choose each other?

It’ll take both Donnie’s skills as a stalker—er, hunter—and William’s super-spy expertise to neutralize the threat so they can discover if an excitable coyote and a placid-until-pissed buffalo have a future together.

A wounded Little. A broken Daddy Dom. Sounds like they both need a little fun…
Kurt Slater is tired of playing games. Shame it’s his job. He’s in training for the most important videogame tournament of his life. But when an injury threatens his future career, he’s got nowhere to turn.
Paolo Rossi used to be a big deal – until a broken leg robbed him of the chance to make it in the world of sports. Now a massage therapist, Paolo’s past has made him grouchy and cynical. He’s forgotten the joy of play. And although he’s a Daddy Dom, he hasn’t been in a relationship for a long time. He’s too worried he’d be a bad match for a Little because of his sour mood.
When fun-loving but suffering Kurt turns up at Paolo’s massage practice, the attraction is instant. But so is the tension — worried about how much he likes Kurt, Paolo refuses to treat him.
Soon, though, his Daddy Dom instincts take over, and he prescribes a very unusual course of treatment: strict rules, a set routine, and a focus on nutrition. And, of course, lots of time in Little Space.
But will Kurt be able to take Paolo’s stern discipline? And will Kurt teach Paolo how to enjoy life again?
When dark forces threaten Kurt’s job and Paolo’s reputation, will their new relationship survive?

Ravi
I’m perfectly fine in my comfort zone. As co-captain of my university soccer team, I know my place. I play hard on the field and my teammates look up to me. Would they look up to me if they knew I liked guys? Probably not, so I’m okay staying a closeted virgin.
That is, until I’m forced to take an arts class, and I’m seated next to the sexiest guy I’ve ever seen. He helps me pass art class, makes me laugh, and has me wanting things I never thought were possible. As the semester goes on, we get closer, and trying to keep my hands off him and stay away from him becomes nearly impossible.
What will happen to my position on the team if I ask him out? I don’t think I’m willing to find out. Now I just gotta stop dreaming about kissing him and holding him… Damn.
Steven
As a fine arts major, I have to focus on creating good work and impressing my professors. Part of that entails sitting in on this beginners arts class, and I just so happen to be next to a gorgeous athlete this semester.
Relationships are a sour note for me, but flirting with the co-captain of the soccer team could be fun. I know it’s not going to go anywhere- he’s straight. Over time, though, becoming friends with Ravi, teaching him how to visualize his art, and learning about his life makes me question what we’re doing.
I don’t know if I’m ready to let someone else into my heart again, least of all a potential closet case (no matter how sexy he is). Still with the way he makes me smile and how my heart beats when I’m near him, I think we’re both in too deep now.

Three lives, one haunted past and an unexpected love to mend the cracks
Months after being falsely accused of his sister’s murder, sent to prison, and finally found innocent, Rohan Harris still feels very alone in the world. But developing a crush on his new, very straight, sort-of boss at the same time he’s beginning a satisfying arrangement with a handsome veterinarian—who happens to be his boss’s best friend—makes him start questioning whether his loneliness might be coming to an end.
Dante Alesci’s relationship with his best friend, Kellan, is one of the cornerstones of his life, constant and unshakeable, but it has never been romantic. Then Dante takes someone new to his bed, and doe-eyed Rohan inadvertently makes him look at Kellan in a whole new light—turning Dante’s entire world upside down.
Kellan Sinclair has always been secure in the fact that he is one hundred percent straight. He likes women, and he didn’t think anything could make him change his mind. That is, until his new employee, Rohan, has him questioning what he’s always taken for granted about himself. Then Kellan stumbles upon his best friend, Dante, in the middle of a sexy scene—and the questions he’s asking about himself now include questions about the friend he can’t afford to lose. Kellan realises that figuring out just how straight he is—or isn’t—may have very high stakes.
Just as the three men have reached a point where it seems like they might be finding the answers to their questions in each other, Rohan’s dark past comes calling. And a whole new question takes over: the question of whether they’re all going to survive long enough to see their happily ever after.

On a small path leading to nowhere sits a looming cathedral, once-abandoned, now hosting the most dangerous of pleasures.
And Stone Brice is the most dangerous of all: Lust. A former acrobat, Stone’s life was changed dramatically after an accident, and now he runs The Carnal Tower, a place where people can go to have their deepest and sometimes darkest fantasies realized.
Stone is a man who is rarely taken by surprise, so when he meets the artist, August Ashley, he doesn’t expect to trip and fall at his feet—literally. But there’s something about the quiet stranger in the park that Stone wants to take apart, and that feeling only gets worse the more Stone gets to know him.
Stone is well aware he can’t mix business and pleasure, but when August comes to him with a proposal for a trade—seven paintings for seven nights with Lust—he can’t say no. Not when it means he’ll be able to have August exactly the way he wants him—even if it’s just for a week.
Stone has every plan to strip August down to his very soul, but the longer the week goes on, the more Stone comes to realize that August might very well be his undoing.
