BLURB:
JEFF
When I agreed to be Peter’s Daddy, we both knew sex had to be off the table. It’s been two years, and I can’t keep it that way anymore. But I still can’t give him what he wants. I’ve decided to do the unselfish thing and we find him a Daddy who can satisfy him. This Daddy just needs to meet my criteria.
Attractive. [I admit he’s a little vain]
Financially stable. [He’s accustomed to Daddy spoiling him]
Strict but loving. [He’s a huge brat]
Patient. [He’s a virgin who needs a gentle hand]
Only three men from the Cuffd app who will be on our kinky cruise meet my expectations. Now all he has to do is choose which of these men will take him out of my life forever.
PETER
I have seven days at sea to convince my Daddy that I don’t want someone else to take the V-card I’ve been throwing at him for the last two years. He’s just too blind to see that the traits he’s looking for in a Daddy for me are all the ones he already possesses.
This is my last shot to let him see that I have only one criterion for a Daddy.
That man must be Jeff.
Can I prove to him that the brief history we share does not make him ineligible for being my Daddy in all the ways I need him?

BLURB:
Wei
As the new music professor at Korham University, I need to focus on my job. I can’t get entangled with that tall and handsome Facilities Manager who I keep bumping into on campus. Did we have a hot moment together at Christmas? Maybe, but that doesn’t change the fact that he’s taking my music lecture. Students are off limits, no matter how flirty and sexy they are.
The problem is that Logan’s not just a student; we’re co-faculty, neighbors, and we’ve become good friends. I’ve started to peel back the layers that make up who he really is. It turns out there’s more to this sweet guy whom I’ve been growing closer and closer to. As the semester winds down, the days of him being my student are numbered. Pretty soon, nothing will stand in the away of us hooking up. It’s scary, but can an athlete like him really fall for a performing artist like me? Because I’m afraid I’m already there.
Logan
I’ve been broken for a long time, so I make my job at KU my life. No one has been able to tug on my heartstrings for years. So of course I’m blindsided by this talented and gorgeous new professor I meet. He makes me smile and gives me something to look forward to for the first time in so long. The one catch: I’m taking his intro to music class.
That’s fine by me, I can push down these feelings. I can totally ignore the blazing hot chemistry Wei and I have in the tiny practice rooms while he teaches me scales. But as the semester goes on, I realize he can offer me so much more than just a pretty face; it’s possible that everything I lost all those years ago exist in Wei. When he plays a song, or whenever it’s just the two of us, it feels just like magic.
I refuse to make a move on my professor, even though we’re both faculty. Good things come to those who wait, right? I just have to not let him realize I have a massive crush on him and not let him kiss me…again. And again.

Except there isn’t a single thing about being near Deon that’s business as usual. He can’t stop pushing Deon or pulling him closer. Jaksa has never hated someone so much… or loved them so vehemently.

When FBI Agent Liam Tennyson was embedded in the La Familia cartel, he didn’t expect to meet not one but two young men whose terrified eyes haunt his dreams—and stir up feelings he thought long buried.
Asher Downs left his homophobic family behind the day he earned his high school diploma. With little more than a bus ticket to his name, he moves to Austin to meet his online boyfriend, Devon. Unfortunately for Asher, life doesn’t always go according to plan.
Misha might have been born as Dimitri, but now he answers to whatever name Master gives him. Snaring another innocent young man into this life is the last thing Misha desires. But Master gets what Master wants—and Master wants a matching set of toys to play with.

Bad Boyfriend, Inc—when you can’t find a good boyfriend, why not hire a bad one instead?
To supplement his income while he’s completing his Early Education degree, Harry Townsend hires himself out as a terrible date—for a set fee, he’ll horrify parents and family members in all sorts of interesting ways. But when it comes to actual relationships—and sex—Harry doesn’t get the appeal. He doesn’t get the same tingly feelings everyone else seems to when they meet someone attractive, and he’s fine with that. He’d rather spend his evenings watching TV anyway.
Jack Windsor abandoned his uni degree to do an apprenticeship as a mechanic, much to his parents’ dismay. He’s happy with his choices, but leaving uni meant losing his accommodation, and now he’s crashing on his sister Mia’s couch. It isn’t ideal, but it’s only until he finds something else—which is proving difficult in Sydney’s brutal rental market.
When Jack almost kills Harry with a strawberry smoothie, he discovers that not only was Harry’s disastrous date with Mia a set up, but that Harry is looking for a roommate. Moving in with Harry is great, if only he wasn’t so distractingly cute—and totally uninterested in Jack. Except as they grow closer as friends, for the first time in his life, Harry tells Jack he’s developing feelings for him—tingly ones.
But how can Harry and Jack be together when Jack’s family thinks that Harry is the worst human being in the universe? And how can Jack convince them that his Bad Boyfriend is the best boyfriend he’s ever had, without admitting that Mia hired him to be terrible to them? When an approaching family event brings everything to a head, Jack’s going to have to step up to prove to Harry that he wants him in his life. And it might just take some bad timing, some good luck and the ugliest suit known to mankind.

Nate and Craig are inseparable high school friends in spite of their social differences—Nate from a wealthy family, Craig struggling to support his drug-addicted mother.
The boys seal their friendship by burying a time capsule, a collection of childhood possessions representing their lives, swearing to unearth it thirty years hence. They look forward to the future with optimism, but when Nate declares his deep feelings for Craig, he’s rejected and circumstances part the two. Thirty years later, Craig is informed of Nate’s hospitalization in critical condition, the victim of a hate crime.
In the twenty-four hours Craig spends at his boyhood friend’s bedside, events which have shaped their lives over three decades unfold—Craig’s journey from poverty to respect as a computer scientist, through twenty years of unhappy marriage, to the late discovery of his true sexuality, while Nate is disowned by his family and forced to support himself by prostitution.
Though contact between them has been nil for thirty years, neither has been able to break the bond formed in their childhood—Craig unable to forgive himself for re-jecting his friend; Nate’s life and relationships ham-pered by his unending, unresolved love for Craig.
Ultimately, Craig will drive a frenzied 900 miles to find release from the guilt that has shadowed his life—back to the tree house where it all began.

Then Emerson makes me an offer: he’ll pay me to spend the weekends with him, losing ourselves in each other’s bodies, no feelings or pasts involved.
Friday through Sunday become mine, the one thing I do for me. Soon it’s not just the weekends I want, but Emerson. He’s got secrets, though, and won’t let me in.

I look forward to his corny jokes, get addicted to the feel of his body against mine. He’s got the biggest heart I’ve ever seen, and with each day, each conversation we have, every laugh we share, Sam brings me back to life.
There’s a million reasons I should stay away: I’m broken, fifteen years older, too sad, too angry, and can’t let my past get out. But Sam makes me want to fight for my happiness if the reward is him. Because having Sam only for the weekend will never be enough.

The most powerful elven mage in history.
A mage hunter with a hesitant heart.
Their forbidden love has the power to weave a new future…or unravel it.
Katyr Runecleaver has dedicated his life to pursuing greater freedom for all mages. That means opposing the harsh restrictions set in place by the Brotherhood of the Eight Divines, who believe magic is inherently dangerous and mages should be locked away in the College of Magi in Trinta. No one was more surprised than Katyr to develop feelings for a member of the Brotherhood.
But Sir Isaac O’Dea isn’t like the other Brotherhood knights Katyr has met. He swore an oath to protect the mages of Brucia, not persecute them. Not all of Isaac’s fellow knights share his beliefs, however. There have been whispers of an alliance between the Brotherhood and Brucia’s rivals, rumors of a planned holy march against the city to enforce order.
In hopes of calming the rising tensions, Katyr and Isaac travel to Trinta to meet with the knight commander and first enchanter, and to plead for peace.
Unfortunately, Trinta is far less welcoming than either could’ve imagined. Katyr soon finds himself in the middle of a brewing civil war between mage factions and Isaac’s pleas for peace have placed him at odds with the knight commander, who will do anything to keep the mages under his thumb.
With Katyr’s powers spiraling out of control, and Isaac facing a grueling trial of his dedication to the order, the two must somehow find a way to calm the tensions in Trinta. But if Katyr and Isaac’s budding romance is discovered, it could mean death for them both.
Can their love survive the ultimate test of faith? Or was their fate woven long ago?

Until one day he decides on a whim to not take his meds.

That is when God reveals Abaddon’s true purpose. He shall protect the boy from the vultures circling him and avenge his pain. He shall take Gabriel under his wing and provide all the love and affection the boy never got to experience.
As they set out to hunt the monsters together, Gabriel entrusts his body and soul to his beautiful guardian angel, yet he can’t stop questioning whether Abaddon is real or just a creation of his touch-starved mind.

The minute Charles walks into my life, I’m done for. He’s everything I’m not- focused, serious, career-oriented. He’s also gorgeous, intelligent, and sexy as all heck. I’m allergic to relationships and my idea of a quiet night is going to only one bar. But I can’t resist my handsome coworker, even if he’s clearly not interested.
What’s a guy to do when the only person who makes me want more doesn’t feel the same? Become his friend, of course. With me by his side, I’ll show Charles all there is to love about his new life in Southern California, and if I’m lucky, he’ll take down his Do Not Disturb sign and let me in. As he uncovers his inner femme, I discover that winning his heart is a challenge I’m definitely up for.

What if a psychopath vowed to take his revenge on your loved ones for a crime you never committed?
Damian Kinnard is no angel. By his own admission, he’s an asshole and only cares about money and sex. He loved once, but that ended with betrayal and promising himself one thing—never again.
Until life had other ideas…
When a close friend goes missing, Damian is left with no option but to rely on the man who handed him his heart. Two years have passed since they’ve spoken or seen each other and while the pain and angst are still there, so is the heat, the passion, and the unshakeable hunger. It only takes one look into his past lover’s brown gaze before old emotions flare, and everything starts breaking down. His strength. His determination. And every rule in his book.
As the truth slowly unravels behind the missing person’s case, Damian fights for both the honor of his family and his engrained hunger for the handsome Latino detective who he gave the one thing he’d never given another—his submission.
Will one alpha man stick to his rule regarding second chances?
Will another stay true to his religious and moral obligations?
Will one touch between two past lovers pull them apart once and for all?
Or will these two headstrong stubborn men finally kick all their past promises and guilt to the curb and realize two years has been two too many?
One man’s tragedy is about to lead to something dark, dirty … and dangerous.

An innocent gift has the power to change everything
Malcolm Ward is a retired wide-receiver, NFL offensive line coach, and husband to one of the best wide-receivers in the NFL. His life is hectic and the last thing he expects is to walk into the bedroom one afternoon to find his husband sleeping with the pacifier Malcolm had jokingly given him a decade before.
Ryder had never intended to let his husband know that the gag-gift had become one of his most cherished possessions. He definitely hadn’t planned on ever talking about it, much less letting Malcolm see him using it. Unfortunately, he’s left with no choice when he wakes up from a nap to find his husband came home early.
Malcolm quickly discovers something Ryder has missed his entire life. How does he get his husband to believe that far from hating his pacifier, Malcolm is ready to be the Daddy Ryder didn’t know he needed?

Lucifer is set on finding a way to provide for the man he loves and to fulfill Lionel’s every desire. But before he can focus entirely on his necromancer, the two of them must solve the case, prevent primordial deities from being raised and destroying the world, and learn to communicate better.

Bryce:
Hockey is my life. This game pulled me from my tiny Quebec hometown all the way to the NHL, and now? I’m the number one player in the league. Team capitaine for the Montréal Étoiles. I’m shattering records and packing arenas every night, and I’ve promised my team: we’re going to win the Stanley Cup this year.
But I’m keeping big secrets. I’m thinking dangerous thoughts, and dreaming about impossible things. Like how a man’s lips might taste, or how his body might feel in my arms.
I can’t go there. I’ve got to focus. Team. Hockey. Cup. What my heart wants doesn’t matter.
So why am I falling head over heels at the NHL’s All-Star Weekend?
I can’t do this. I can’t fall for Hunter Lacey. He’s a hockey player. We’re both in the NHL. He’s on a different team. And, oh yeah, he’s straight.
Hunter:
I’m a middle-of-the-road, nothing-special hockey player. Good enough to be drafted into the NHL, and I’ve been on the roster for the past two years, but I’ll never make the Hall of Fame. I’m just trying to keep my head up and get through each day, until this wild ride comes to an end.
Deep thinking isn’t really my thing. Look inside myself? Lotta beer and burgers there.
I never thought I’d be invited to the All-Star Weekend, but here I am. And there’s my hero: Bryce Michel, league superstar.
Saying hello to Bryce turns into hours spent together on the ice, and then an invite to dinner, and then days at each other’s side. I’m in heaven. He’s my hero, and this is the coolest—
Then Bryce’s lips land on mine, and the world turns upside down.
