BLURB:
Can a veterinarian lose his V-card before turning twenty-five? Oh, one hun p he can!
On the surface, I’m super sassy and just a little bit extra. But underneath, I’m hiding a painful secret from my past and one hugely embarrassing problem in my present—I’m still a…I’m still a…Dammit, I can’t even get it out.
Let’s just say it starts with V and ends in irgin.
Daly’s the new barista, and he takes Thirsty Thursdays to a whole new level. He’s drop-dead gorgeous with a sexy shaved head, ocean-blue eyes, and an insane smile that lights me up whenever he aims it my way. He’s also kind, friendly, and interesting. In other words, the perfect guy to be my first time.
A night of too much coconut tequila leads to us making a drunken pact. Daly will help me with my V-status issue, but he adds a caveat. We have to get to know each other first. Then, and only then, can the physical stuff happen.
It sounds simple enough. But the more I get to know him, the more I realize what we have is more than just a physical attraction. We share a connection. We like the same things. And stupidly, I’ve gone ahead and caught feelings for the guy.
This was never meant to be anything more than just a physical thing, so why has Daly got me going out of my mind the way he does?

BLURB:
Do you believe in hate at first sight?
Dixon
If I had to choose one word to describe my new cocky costar, it’d be exasperating. Nikolas Adamos may look like a Greek god—and he certainly struts around like he knows it—but unlike everyone else, I refuse to fall prey to his charms.
Unfortunately for me, Niko and I get paired to do a series of lovey-dovey boyfriend videos for our employers at Elite 8 Studios. And when you film the sort of scenes we do, up close and personal takes on a whole new meaning.
I may have to play nice while the cameras are rolling, but off set, it’s another matter entirely. So what if our chemistry is off the charts? That doesn’t mean a thing. Nor does the tender look in Niko’s eye when we’re together under the lights.
Because I know the truth. Nikolas Adamos revels in riling me up. And even though my pesky friends think I need fireworks after a string of fizzled relationships, I have no doubt if I allow myself to get any closer to my new fake boyfriend, I’ll only end up burned.

Navigating the closet I kept myself in was hard enough without my asshole neighbor interfering. From one day to the next, I couldn’t tell if he was my boyfriend or my enemy — the kisses he planted on me in secret said one thing, but the pranks he pulled on me in public said another.

The last time was the final time.
That’s the promise I made myself when I left my home and started over anew. I got too bold, too reckless, too close to getting caught. With enough blood on my hands to cleanse a nation, I would bow my head, and integrate into a mundane, regular life.
It was going well. Until I met Lucas Montgomery, and the bloodlust flared back to life.
I’d have to be gentle and careful with him. Bending to his own darkness will take effort, and patience. He’s the bravest, most selfless man I’ve ever met, so full of fire and ready to fight for the little guy. He believes with his whole, sheltered heart he’s ready to save the world, no matter the cost.
To see how far those innocent little beliefs could take him was going to be exquisite.

BLURB:
Ferris is straight, but that’s never stopped him from engaging in some friendly flirting with Tiago. But is Ferris ready for his fake flirtations with his best friend to become real?
Tiago Álvarez
My last great idea ended with me on my knees praying to the porcelain gods, so I don’t blame Ferris for being skeptical when I tell him I’ve come up with a genius masterplan to boost our popularity. But this strategy is guaranteed to work! If we take a page out of the K-Pop boyband playbook by coyly flirting with each other to drive the fangirls wild, then we’ll surely end up with millions of followers on social media. I’m a genius, right?
But just between us, I have an ulterior motive in convincing my best friend that we should share our banter with the fans. I want to make him see that our casual flirting could turn into something real. The only thing standing in my way is the fact that he’s straight. But it’s obvious how much fun he has teasing me, so I wonder if maybe he’s not as straight as he used to be?
Can I convince my best friend through our fake flirting that I’m actually in love with him?
Ferris Valdemar
As long as I’ve been friends with Tiago, we’ve always joked around with each other. Even though I’m straight, I’ll flirt with anyone since it’s so fun. That’s why his idea to win over more fans by playing up our witty exchanges for the cameras doesn’t seem like such a big deal. But as he ramps up his charm, it becomes harder to distinguish the blur between what’s fake and what’s real.
One minute, I’m laughing as Tiago and I film a dramatic reading of fan fiction written about us being together. The next, we’re suddenly kissing. It unlocks the flood gates of my feelings as things quickly get out of hand. It’s like I suddenly can’t get enough of him. So much for being straight.
I should end the farce and pretend nothing ever happened between us, but how can I do that when I want more of him?

BLURB:
All his life, Gray, the second-born son of Nathaniel Scott, aka the Kingmaker, lived in the shadow of a mysterious, unnamed older brother his father was very proud of. Gaining his father’s affection and approval became Gray’s sole objective as he gave up his dreams of getting married and having a family.
When Nathaniel finally announces the identity of his firstborn son, Gray confronts him and isolates himself from the rest of the family, relying on his childhood friend, Rourke O’Bannon, for advice and comfort. Rourke, who secretly lusts for Gray, but is struggling to accept his own sexuality, is content with the situation.
Until the competition appears, as the handsome Sloan O’Brannigan, the complete opposite of Rourke. But when the man looks into Gray’s soul and offers to help him sort his feelings out, Rourke sees his position as confidante threatened, and is ready to go to great extent to keep it.
Gray must choose: His elegant childhood friend, who carefully chooses his words and is proud of his achievements as a company owner—or the blunt Irishman and mafia boss? If he doesn’t make the right choice, Gray could lose more than just his heart.

Beau Marshal had always gone after what he wanted. The second he caught sight of the sexy man herding a small donkey into a pin at the Coleman Ranch Farmers Market, he was ready to lay claim. But Beau wasn’t stupid. He could tell the guy was hesitant.
Instead of letting it go, Beau does what he knows best. He offered Jackson the chance to try out the connection between the two of them, no strings attached. A good old fashioned fling. Better yet, it could be their little secret since Jackson’s life wasn’t built for a relationship.
When situations change, the two are forced to evaluate just how much they mean to one another. Will Beau be able to rope his Daddy? Or will he have to let the man who stole his heart slip through his grasp?

Straight out of college, Ethan scored a coveted job on the mining planet Ore 5. So how the hell did he ended up working in a strip club?
What should have been the start of a life with lots of money, a prestigious job, and adventures in space, quickly turned sour as the promised job got downsized while Ethan was en route to Ore 5. Once there, he barely has enough money for the return ticket to Earth.
Stuck in the outskirts of housing for the miners, he quickly finds that his usual standards are impossible to uphold. A new coworker opens up an entirely different world to him, and in this world, the center of gravity is a big tattooed strip club owner named Ryder.
On the outside, Ryder is a player—promiscuous and superficial. And he has no problem throwing a punch if patrons get too frisky with his dancers. But he has hidden a side of himself since he came to Ore 5.
Both Ethan and Ryder see themselves differently from what others see. One is a body-conscious, chubby accountant—the other is a sex-symbol who has become the center of attention of every gay man on the planet—even a few straight ones who want to prove they’re man enough to win the challenge.
They have one thing in common, but will their differences keep them too far apart?

At the ancient, doddering age of thirty, it’s long past time Prince Amador married, at least according to his domineering family. Determined to see the matter attended at last, they have issued an ultimatum: find a betrothed before the year is out, or he’ll be sent off to marry Prince Ottokar, Crown Prince of their oldest enemy, a man Amador has hated and feared for nearly all his life.
Desperate to avoid that fate, he has one last chance: to win the affections of Prince Nazaire, who has notoriously turned away every single suitor barely before they make their introduction. When he arrives, though, Amador finds not a snooty prince impossible to please, but a castle so brimming with secrets and romantic pining that the whole mess would be worthy of a bard’s tale.
If there’s one thing Amador loves more than mischief, it’s romance. He won’t ever be happy in his own marriage, but here’s a chance to see that others will be happy in theirs—and if he’s lucky, they’ll all be so pleased with the results that the quiet, handsome King Sohan will insist that he remain to help with other matters.
