AUTHOR: Lorelei M. Hart & Aria Grace
SERIES: Alpha For Hire #2
PUBLISHER: Surrendered Press
LENGTH: 109
RELEASE DATE: 9/26/2022
BLURB:
Just because Roderick is the omega son of a billionaire, doesn’t mean he’s weak. And it certainly doesn’t mean he needs an alpha to protect him. But his dad takes all those random death threats he receives to heart and insists that Roderick have a full time bodyguard with him any time he goes out. It’s a ridiculous rule, but Roderick knows better than to try to defy his father.
Teagan has been sent on some crazy jobs while working at Alpha For Hire. Providing security to a twelve-year-old Maltese for every vet and groomer visit was high on his list. At least until he gets called to essentially babysit some rich kid omega. He almost turns down the job, but after his outrageous salary requirement is approved, he can’t afford to walk away.
Roderick just wants to be normal, and the giant alpha at his side doesn’t make that easy. So the only option in his mind is to seduce the man and get him fired. But after spending some time together, behaving is the last thing either of them want to do.
TITLE: Indulging His Desire
AUTHOR: A.M. McCoy
SERIES: The Kings of Hawthorn #2
PUBLISHER: Self Published
LENGTH: 211
RELEASE DATE: 9/26/2022
BLURB:
I’ve lived as half the man I used to be for the last four years.
I just simply… existed. I didn’t feel anything, I didn’t indulge in anything I enjoyed, I didn’t even hardly smile or laugh anymore.
Or at least I had until a new neighbor moved into my building and captured my attention, drawing me in like a moth to a flame. For the first time in four years, something… stirred deep inside me.
I was obsessed from day one, unable to keep my eyes away from the apartment’s bedroom window directly across from my own like a fucking voyeur. The shades were never closed and my view into the mysterious bedroom was never obstructed.
And therefore, the object of my most recent desire was always on display for me, and the more times I watched the show put on, the surer I became that the curtains were left open on purpose for me.
So I found myself staring, waiting, and hoping to catch glimpses of the tanned skin colored with bright tattoos, or the dark brown hair that looked like silk, or the sexy as hell piercing green eyes that would stare back at me as I watched.
The problem though?
The object of my desire, the very thing I’d become obsessed with sexually… was a man.
And I was… straight.
Or at least I had been.
TITLE: Due West

RELEASE DATE: 9/26/2022
BLURB:
Max
The first time I saw R.J., his eyes looked twice as wide open as normal, like an anime character. He slipped into the diner booth on the other side of my table and said, “If anybody asks, you’re my…fiancé.”
How would I know a stop for a burger and fries at the Shine and Dine in Scottsbluff, Nebraska would so profoundly change my life? After that first meeting, there was no going back to normal. Everything from that point forward was astoundingly different and new.
I’d set out from Chicago two days earlier on a desperate mission to save my fledgling writing career. I’d secured an assignment to explore life on an epic road trip due west to San Francisco. Those first days were quiet, even boring, and then—R.J.
To save him from armed thugs, I agreed to take him as far as Boulder, Colorado. One of his best friends, a drag performer named Carlotta Geaux, would take it from there. That was the plan—until R.J. blissed out on Miles Davis, sang a perfect “Last Dance,” and made me care.
R.J.
I needed to escape Nebraska. I had to leave my town.
My home.
Most of all—my crooked father.
I had a plan to engineer a ride to Colorado from a stranger—any ordinary schlub with a working vehicle. Then I picked Max, with his blue eyes, black hair, and sweet sense of humor.
I intended the choice to be random, but the gods had other plans. The choice of Max had to be anything but arbitrary. Love at first sight? I was an instant convert.
Now, I had a mission to sway him to my plan, step by step, all the way across the country. He needed to keep me by his side, and, in the end, fall as hard for me as I fell for him.

BLURB:
After a horrific time with their first case together, it was understandable that Lucifer and Stefan wanted to take some down time and get to learn more about each other. But on their first day officially back at work, with Monty and Darwin’s new anchor division this time, an ex-friend of Lucifer’s turns up and things quickly go from bad to worse for the fated pair.
Borrowed magic, hateful hexes, and even a bomb all quickly culminate to strain Lucifer’s and Stefan’s relationship, especially when Lucifer defaults to his typical arrogant behavior. It doesn’t help that Stefan knows Lucifer is hiding something from him, but he’s not sure if it’s to do with their issues around them or something more personal.
When Gaston visits his dreamscape, telling him to get out of bed, Stefan has yet something else to deal with he wasn’t sure would ever happen to him – a new familiar. Maybe Creed can help Stefan and Lucifer decide if the problems they are having are a direct attack on Lucifer, or more efforts by the Brethren to stop them promoting the rights of anchors.

Then trouble finds them and turns their quiet life upside down. Tao stumbles onto the scene of a crime—a crime where someone committed murder and then brought the victim back to life—and meets a boy who slips through their carefully constructed defenses, all in the same day.
Tao can’t help but agree to a date with Adam, the boy with the freckles. Just one date before Tao says goodbye—because Tao has to track down the other necromancer, and it might be the last thing they ever do.
But Adam knows more about necromancers than Tao ever suspected—including how to kill one. If they’re going to solve this murder and get out alive and undiscovered, Tao’s going to need his help….

Soon enough, though, Hank finds out that being a minor local celebrity can have its drawbacks, and one of those is ghost debunker Elliot Graham.
Elliot Graham works for a scientific journal, traveling the world and debunking urban legends and ghost stories. A certain Hank Vargas seems like a prime target, especially since the guy appears to think he’s an actual historian as well as a spirit chaser. What Elliot doesn’t expect from Secret Springs is how charming the place is, and how interesting he finds Hank. In a very personal way.
When the weather and the ghosts of Secret Springs start giving them more than they bargain for, Hank and Elliot have to put aside their differences and solve a century old mystery. Can they build something lasting together at the same time?

Anton Seiber, journeyman thaumaturge, has finally escaped his dead-end job identifying bodies in the morgues of London. He’s off to seek a brighter future…or he would be, if he hadn’t just been robbed, mugged, and turned away from the only train that will help him reach that future on time.
A random meeting turns into a fight for his life and gifts Anton with two things: a knife that always kills whatever it stabs, and the chance to assume the identity of the man who just tried to kill him and board the train in his place.
He wasn’t counting on being found out by a lumière, one of the French emperor’s most powerful and intriguing spies. He wasn’t betting on a murder being committed on the train, or on being asked for his help identifying the culprits. He wasn’t asking to be drawn into a web of simmering insurrection, and he certainly didn’t want to find Lord Lumière so irresistible, but there’s no denying it.
Perhaps Anton will even tell him so…if he survives to the end of this journey.

Except he can’t carry a tune to save his life. He panicked, okay?
Rakos was a dragonrider until betrayal landed him in chains. Now, he knows two things for certain: he can’t trust anyone, and he wants his dragon back. When the fragile minstrel asks who he is, Rakos claims he’s a farmer. When Bellamy begs for help reaching the border, Rakos refuses.
Until he can’t resist how much Bellamy needs him.
Stormy nights and deadly masquerades forge Rakos and Bellamy’s unlikely partnership into something more. Something exhilarating. Rakos treats Bellamy like a person, not a weak, untouchable prince, even as he protects him.

Colton James lives and breathes country music. Playing the guitar and singing the songs he writes is all he’s ever dreamed of doing, but his parents wish he’d choose a career that’s a little more…traditional. Which is why he’s headed to Nashville, the country music capitol of the world, to finally prove to them he’s got what it takes to make it.
That is until his cross-country trip comes to a screeching halt when his truck breaks down in the tiny town of Cedarville, Wyoming. Barely more than a dot on the map, Colton finds himself stuck with no transportation and almost empty pockets.
Jesse Adams has lived in Cedarville all his life, taking over his father’s bar when he passed. He makes a decent living and has a lot of friends, yet he’s lonely. After all, Cedarville is hardly a hot bed of activity for gay men. In fact, he’s the only gay man he knows of in town. At least until a certain aspiring musician wanders into his bar.
Seeing Colton’s in a tough spot, Jesse offers him a place to stay in exchange for singing at the bar a few nights a week until his truck gets fixed. As the two of them get to know each other, sparks begin to fly. But can Jesse keep his heart from getting broken when Colton moves on?

After Anders Lindholm lost his wife and baby daughter in a car accident, he knew he’d never find love like that again.
Hockey, routines, and his team are all that have kept him going since.
But as he approaches forty, an injury makes him consider what life after retirement will be like.
And when his teammate, who just so happens to be his best friend’s brother, offers him a helping hand—in more ways than one—it reawakens something in Anders he can’t deny.
Rule #2: Don’t let anyone know the real you
Kelly O’Shea has been in love with Anders since he was fifteen. He’s been hiding the fact that he’s gay for just as long.
He loves his family, but their over-protective meddling is what made him move halfway across the country and hide who he was.
Although Kelly and Anders both agreed it would stay casual, Kelly begins to hope that maybe they’ll eventually be more than just friends with benefits.
And the more time they spend together, the faster the ice around Anders’ heart melts.
But with a playoff spot to clinch, fractures within the team, and overprotective brothers to worry about, Anders’ fear of letting go of the past isn’t the only challenge they’ll have to overcome.

Cobey Green
There I was, moving into the dorms at Franklin U and not into the shared party house I’d lived in my freshman year. Last year had been all about football and parties, not schoolwork. Which was why my grades tanked. Why I was one failed class away from being kicked off the team.
Why I needed to live on campus and find myself a tutor.
Funny that my new roommate just happens to be a tutor. Funny that he’s oblivious to how hot he is. For a smart guy, he’s pretty clueless. Maybe I could tutor him in how to be more outgoing in exchange for help with calculus? I could teach him how to talk to people, how to make new friends. Hell, maybe I could even help him punch his V card.
Actually, now that I think about it… that’s a really good idea.
Vincent Brandt
And there I was, happy to be back at college, happy to be where I was most comfortable. Happy to be starting another school year, happy to start tutoring again so I could earn some money.
And yes, there I was equal parts excited and dreading to see who my new roommate would be… until Cobey Green’s smiling face appeared at the door. A huge football player loved by everyone, gorgeous, rich, and out of the closet.
Everything I’m not.
It doesn’t help that he’s genuinely a really nice guy. It doesn’t help that I make him laugh and we can talk so easily. And it certainly doesn’t help that we start having private tutoring sessions, which end up way more private than I’d ever dare imagine.
I’d ranked top of my class in every subject since the first grade, yet there I was falling stupidly in love with him.
This was going to be a hell of a year. And one very steep learning curve for both of us.

Then a man steps out of his dreams and into his life, who’s everything Jerry ever wanted.
Except for the part where Jerry might have to arrest him.

Two men become friends in a graveyard in this moving novel of love, loss, and redemption.
Arthur Tor steals the dead for a living. As a resurrection man, he creeps around graveyards with his shovel, hoping to dig up corpses so he can sell them to the local medical college and pay his tuition there. He also holds a strange position in underground society. If someone is dying a slow, painful death, the family members come to Arthur and beg him to end their loved one’s pain. Arthur can never refuse, and he helps the dying painlessly cross the threshold in a process he calls the Black Rounds. Unfortunately, a local judge has gotten wind of Arthur’s activities and has sworn to send him to prison—or the hangman’s noose.
Jesse Fair has fled his corrupt family in Baltimore and landed in Ypsilanti, Michigan, where he becomes the town gravedigger and undertaker, and he works hard to help grieving families through their pain with warmth and compassion. Some families make odd requests for their dearly departed, and Jesse discovers that the undertaker must often deal with the absurd side of death. But his venomous family is still searching for him. Relentlessly. And once they find him, Jesse will have to make a terrible choice.
When Jesse catches Arthur in the act of robbing a grave, the two of them form a strange friendship and even stranger partnership that digs deep into social taboos—and into their own souls.

BLURB:
At thirty-three, after all I’ve lived through, I thought I knew myself through and through. And then I met Bear.
When Luukas Virta, a Finnish-American tattoo artist and a Dominant, gets a submissive out of a bad situation, he knows he’s getting a temporary roommate.
What he doesn’t know is that Bear Barlow is a service submissive who got tangled into a web of being too new to know better. Luukas’s caretaker instincts flare up, and he realizes there’s much more to Bear’s kink identity and maybe even his own that he hadn’t expected.
Things from Luukas’s past make him doubt his feelings, and Bear isn’t sure if he’s genuinely interested in the gentle, gorgeous Dom, or if he’s just grateful for having been saved.
I might be twenty-six and new to kink, but I know what I want—or so I thought.
Even more than that, both men are facing a shift in their identities. The more time they spend together, the more they realize that whether you’ve been practicing BDSM for more than a decade or less than a six months, you can still learn a lot about who you are. It doesn’t mean it’s easy to let go of who you thought you were or to make space for an additional part of your newly found identity.
Luukas and Bear get more and more wrapped around each other, but of course life is never quite that simple or easy. With their loving kink community supporting them, there’s nothing they can’t conquer together.

So I run.
It’s impossible that there’s an alpha out there who can accept the level of scarring and trauma that’s plagued my life, not to mention my struggles with OCD and the fact that I have a kid.

It was a mistake to get involved with my son’s best friend.
Seven years ago, my son’s best friend Ollie vanished. I searched for him for years but I never found him. Despite what the FBI told me, I never gave up.
When he shows up to my house unannounced, I don’t know how to react. He’s a legal adult now and exactly like the boy I used to know. Yet there’s a dark side to Ollie now, one I can’t ignore.
His eyes are the same shade of blue as the boy in the mask I’ve been meeting up with at a local club. And he’s the same height as the anonymous killer my Mafia bosses are ordering me to hunt.
When Ollie confesses he’s on a mission to murder my bosses, I don’t know if I should put a bullet in his head… or become his Daddy.
