BLURB:
Delaney Roberts and Marcus Worthy-Davis have quite a few things in common. Both blue-collar workers in their forties, they’ve experienced the tragic loss of their wives and meet through their monthly grief group. Their connection is immediate, their friendship solidifying over texts and barstool confessions, neither feeling quite so lonely in the other’s presence.
When Marcus reveals to the group that he’s considering dating, it shakes Delaney to his core. He’s nowhere near ready, not when he feels on unstable ground with his teenage son and has vowed not to uproot his life again. Even if it means pushing his own needs aside. Even if Marcus’s announcement stirs something else inside Delaney, something he’s kept at bay for twenty years, and he suddenly sees their more tender moments in a different light.
The first time Marcus holds Delaney during a particularly rough night, the ache in Marcus’s chest, the one he tries hard to ignore, only intensifies. And when their slow-burning friendship sparks into a blazing fire, they finally indulge in each other to satisfy their needs. Marcus knows the arrangement is only temporary, but he feels a rightness with Delaney he can’t easily explain.
Soon enough, their longing becomes difficult to ignore. But love after loss is terrifying, the familiarity with pain and despair too close to the surface. To fan the flames of their connection, they’ll not only need to make room in their hearts but also take an enormous leap of faith.

As the Royal Consort to the Swan King, Mikhail is bound by law to obey. When the King bids him sing, he sings; when he commands him to kneel, he kneels; and when he offers him to a stranger in exchange for a favor, Mikhail must agree. This stranger is a tiger-shifter of the Garin clan, at court to investigate three murders, and he’s the most magnificent man Mikhail has ever met. From his first sight of Konstantin Garin, Mikhail wants him. So submitting to his King’s order shouldn’t be a hardship. But Nikolay Lebedev doesn’t give up his playthings easily, especially not his favorite consort, and Mikhail knows there’s more to the bargain than the King is letting on.
As Mikhail’s drawn deeper into the murder investigation with Konstantin, their attraction for each other grows, and they form their own pact—to find the murderer so they can be together. But with every discovery, layers of the Swan Court are peeled away and dark secrets revealed. With every answer they get, more questions arise, and the killer draws closer.

Cotton has just flunked out of porn, and as far as he can tell, he’s flunking life too. Having an injured colonel in his bed seems par for the course, but he’s too busy keeping Jason alive to question how fate brought him there.
But fate isn’t done with them. When they go on the run from the mobsters who shot Jason, there should be no time to fall in love, but neither man seems suited for an average life—or relationship. Jason and Cotton can probably survive homicidal mobsters and rogue military operations. The question is, can they survive the work they’ll have to do to forge a place just for them?

When interstellar smuggler Haz Taylor loses his ship, his money, and his tattered reputation, drinking himself to death on a backwater planet seems like his only option. Then the Coalition offers him a contract to return a stolen religious artifact. Sounds simple enough, but politics can be deadly—and the artifact’s not enthusiastic about being returned.
Haz didn’t sign up to be prisoner transport, but he’s caught between a blaster and hard vacuum. Still, that doesn’t mean he can’t show his captive some kindness. It costs him nothing to give Mot the freedom to move about the ship, to eat when he’s hungry… to believe that he’s a person. It’s only until they reach Mot’s planet. Besides, the Coalition would hate it, which is reason enough.
Then he finds out what awaits Mot at home, and suddenly hard vacuum doesn’t look so bad. Haz is no hero, but he can’t consign Mot to his fate. Somewhere under the space grime, Haz has a sliver of principle. It’s probably going to get him killed, but he doesn’t have much to live for anyway….

Scott Fields is everything Neil looks for in a fling—gorgeous, good in bed and temporary. He’s also nice and considerate, which is a bonus. It’s a shame Neil only gets two nights with the fireman before he’s returning home.
However, much to his surprise, he runs into Scott a few days later. It turns out they’re both from the same town. When Scott asks him out, Neil is hesitant but agrees. He really isn’t interested in dating or relationships. Can the sweet and sexy fireman change his mind?

BLURB:
A rebellious young werewolf finds himself crossing the vampire king as the search for his family goes very wrong…
“Hello, boy.”
Will looked up to see Maddox’s hard, chiseled features looking more cold and statue like than ever. Sometimes it was like the man was made of marble. Usually that was when he was angry – and he was clearly very angry now. The way his dark eyes bored into Will would have made a lesser man squirm. As it was, Will sat on the prison bench, elbows on his knees, hands clasped under his chin, a remorseless smirk on his face. He was not going to apologize for what he’d done. He’d spent far too long apologizing for every little thing, acting as though Maddox had done him some great favor by extracting him from prison. But it had all been for an ulterior motive. He’d wanted to use him. Ruin him. Make him a beast. His wolf side, cool as it was, actually scared Will to his core. It meant he wasn’t just a violent criminal like the men he knew in prison. It meant he was something he didn’t understand. And it meant his past was even more messed up than he imagined.
“Something you want to tell me?” Maddox persisted.
Will knew Maddox wanted him to whimper and beg for mercy, to apologize for what he’d done. Will was done begging. He was done with a lot of things.
“I’m done being your boy,” Will said. “If you want to get me out of here, good. If you don’t, whatever.”
Maddox’s brow rose at Will’s immediate rebellion. Good. Let him be surprised. Maddox thought Will was nothing more than a pawn to be controlled and used. It was about time he learned Will had a brain of his own.

Except Sebastian does seem to appreciate Hadley, calling him his sunshine. And when something nice comes out of his mouth on occasion, Hadley’s heart is all aflutter.

A life of set routine is the norm for Raymond Smith. Now in his mid-thirties, a fleeting wartime romance far behind him, he is an exemplary clerk at a London insurance firm where he’s perceived as dry and conventional.
But Raymond has a secret. Every month or so, he visits Charlie’s, one of the more understated bars in Soho’s flowering gay scene in the 1930s. There, he seeks relief with strangers to get him through the next few weeks.
On one of these visits, he encounters suave David Carstairs, a well-travelled linguist with the Foreign Office. Rather than a brief encounter, David offers him friendship and even affection. Despite Raymond’s misgivings, the two men, with their contrasting backgrounds and experiences, start to form a bond in the spring of 1936 as Europe inexorably begins to march towards war.
Will Raymond fearfully reject this chance of happiness? Or can he unbend enough to allow David into his heart and life?

Is it worth taking a chance on love?
Alpha dragon shifter Seymour is a successful artist with his own gallery. His lifestyle is hectic as, apart from creating his paintings, there are always openings and charity functions to attend, as well as preparing exhibitions. He takes his first vacation in years, and after hearing about a small town on the coast, he heads to the beach.
Omega Irvin is an aspiring painter, but in order to pay the bills, he’s a waiter in a small but well-known restaurant at the beach. When he’s not painting or working, he’s cycling along the coast or watching soap operas with his elderly landlady.
On two different days, at different times—or perhaps it’s the same time on the same day—Seymour and Irvin encounter Mr. Lucas and his nephew, Harry, on the beach. The tide brings a message in a bottle for each man, and Mr. Lucas insists they read it. Irvin isn’t impressed with the note he receives, but Seymour ends up at Irvin’s restaurant where the omega is his assigned waiter.
Two artists. One striving to make a name for himself in the art universe, while the other is taking a break from the same world. Is their meeting destined to be only career-related or something else?
