AUTHOR: JL Merrow
SERIES: Glastonbury Tales #1s
PUBLISHER: Riptide
LENGTH: 274
RELEASE DATE: 10/10/2022
BLURB:
When even friends look like strangers, how will he ever find love?
Corin Ferriman was left face blind by the car crash that killed his ex. Even people he’s known for years are unrecognisable to him. Running from his guilt and new-found social anxiety, he’s moved to Glastonbury, where he knows no one—or does he? Repeated sightings of a mysterious figure leave him terrified that his ghosts have followed him.
Tattoo artist Adam Merchant left Glastonbury at sixteen, escaping from his emotionally distant mother to the father who’d left them seven years previously. Now, at twenty-five, he’s come home to bring his family back together. But in a cruel twist of fate, his mother dies before he can talk to her, leaving him haunted—perhaps literally—by her memory and his unanswered questions.
When Corin and Adam meet again after an eerie first encounter, Adam lays siege to the walls Corin’s built around himself, which start to crumble. But there are ghosts haunting them both, and while Adam longs for a connection beyond the veil, Corin’s guilt leaves him in angry denial that there could be anything after death. With the liminal festival of Samhain fast approaching, neither man is sure what’s real and what’s just a trick of the mind—or maybe something worse.

BLURB:
Ethan
I’ve got a reputation as too quick to fall in love among the merry band of misfits I co-own Tap That Brewery with. Relationships are all rainbows and unicorns until I inevitably get dumped. I’ve had enough of being kicked to the curb, so I make a dating hiatus my New Year’s resolution.
My resolve is challenged when I keep bumping into a gorgeous guy whose “date me” vibes are as potent as his pheromones. Resolution aside, I don’t even have time for romance because I’ve got to help my great-aunt save her house—the one place I felt safe in as a kid. But when I discover the gorgeous guy is not only hot but an attorney who might be able to help me? I get an idea that just might put my resolution to the test…
Parker
I’m on the cusp of being named the youngest partner in my law firm’s history. Except for the pesky detail that I’m unattached, and no single attorney has been promoted to partner. I never fail when I set my mind to something. If only I had a boyfriend to help me seal the deal.
But how am I going to find a boyfriend when I can barely manage to sleep with my workload? When a cute guy with an addictive smile proposes an arrangement that might get me the promotion of my dreams, there’s a chance I could have it all. As long as he doesn’t object first.

BLURB:
Isaac Griffin has always felt something was missing from his life. And for good reason: he’s never met his dad. He’d started to believe he’d never belong in this world, that the scattered missing pieces of his life would never come together, when he discovers a box hidden deep in the attic with his father’s name on it.
When the first clue points him to San Francisco, he sets off with his boyfriend to find the answers, and the person he’s been waiting his whole life for. But when his vintage station wagon breaks down (and possibly his relationship too) they are forced to rely on an unusual girl who goes by Max—and has her own familial pain—to take them the rest of the way.
As his family history is revealed, Isaac finds himself drawing closer to Max. Using notes his dad had written decades ago, the two of them retrace his father’s steps during the weeks leading up to the Compton’s Cafeteria Riot in San Francisco, a precursor to the Stonewall Riots a few years later. Only to discover, as he learns about the past that perhaps the missing pieces of his life weren’t ever missing at all.

A young single dad. An older man. An impossible love story.
Milo
I lost everyone I’ve ever loved, but there’s one person I’m determined to keep. The baby I was left with when tragedy struck once more.
Now my life is all about surviving. I don’t have time to date, or relationships.
That is until Ellis, the sexy, older, and kind primary school teacher who’s currently living rent free in my head with no intention of moving out, gives me the second job I desperately need.
But why would he want a guy from the wrong side of town, who’s barely paying the bills and comes with a plus one?
Ellis
Moving to Stillwater was the fresh start I needed after having my heart stomped on and my career practically destroyed.
Despite my family’s best efforts, I’m determined that nothing shall break through the walls I’ve built around myself. No more relationships.
That is until I meet the much younger grocery store cashier with the warm brown eyes, and accidentally give him a job.
As I get to know Milo, brick by brick that wall is coming down and no matter how much I resist I’m starting to run out of excuses as to why I shouldn’t give in.
But why would he want anything with someone much older when he could have anyone else?
TITLE: Love and History
AUTHOR: Lane Hayes
SERIES: The Script Club #6
PUBLISHER: Self pub
RELEASE DATE: 10/11/2022
BLURB:
The sporty roommate, the professor, and a history lesson…
Holden-
Ezra might be the most annoying roommate ever. He’s loud, obnoxious, and full of himself. So what if he’s a tall, muscular, tattooed jock? His tendency to strip to his boxers in the kitchen while helping himself to my food isn’t endearing in the slightest. Nope. Ezra has to go.
However, I have to admit, he’s the perfect fit to play the king for my historic reenactment event. Ezra in a royal robe…oh, this could be quite tantalizing indeed.
He won’t do it, though.
Unless I trick him into a history lesson.
Ezra-
Holden is the kind of dude who wears top hats and great coats while teaching astrophysics to brainiacs. Weird, right? But I gotta respect that level of commitment. And I respect him.
Sadly, Holden doesn’t feel the same way about me.
I guess I can’t blame him. Cranking his gears has been a highlight of my stint in geek land. I’ve never seen anyone get riled about yogurt like him. He makes me laugh. And think. And he makes me want things I’d never thought possible.
So yeah, I’ll take that history lesson. If it leads to something more, I’m in.

Easy Rian has been lead singer for Blinding Light since the band was formed. Through the years many things have changed. Not all of them good. When the lead guitarist leaves mid-tour, the rest of the band is left waiting to see if they’ll continue on to Rocktoberfest, or if this is where their tour ends.
Liam Tarrant has been playing guitar for as long as he can remember. When he gets the chance to audition for Blinding Light, he jumps at the chance. Meeting the band is surreal, especially the lead singer, Easy. Liam has always had a crush on Easy, but he never thought he’d get the chance to meet him, let alone spend time alone with him.
Easy is drawn to Liam, no matter how much he wants to deny it. When the two are thrown together over practice and planning the upcoming tour, attraction grows between the two of them that neither can deny. But falling in love on tour could be what finally ends Blinding Light, and both of them will need to choose what’s more important to them. Love or music, can they have it all?

BLURB:
If you never fooled around with someone of the same gender, did you even go to high school?
PEYTON
My whole life I’ve had the pressure of being Marcus Talon and Shane Miller’s football prodigy. I’ve been destined to follow in my NFL-playing fathers’ footsteps since the day I was born. I usually thrive under pressure, but as senior year looms, it all gets too much, and I need an outlet. The last place I thought I’d find my release is at Levi Vanderbilt’s graduation party. In his bed. With him.
It’s a one-time thing. An experimentation. And while it was fun, we agree that being with guys isn’t for either of us. I’m happy to accept that until he turns up in California.
I haven’t had to think about him for four years, but now I can’t get him out of my head.
LEVI
Coming to Franklin University for grad school to follow a boy I hooked up with once is the stupidest thing I could have done.
We said that high school didn’t mean anything, but the truth is, that night made me realize who I truly am, and since then, I’ve been trying to find that sense of freedom again.
I’m hoping it can be with him, but everything I’ve heard around campus points to Peyton not having the same life-changing revelation I did.
And if that’s the case, did I just move across the country for a straight guy?
Kill me now.

RELEASE DATE: 10/13/2022
BLURB:
What happens overseas, stays overseas… until it doesn’t.
When Tom Miller’s ex-Army buddies crash into town for the night, he knows he’s in trouble before the invite even arrives. While he was deployed, he had a habit of getting on his knees for his fellow soldiers. For the year since he’s been back in the States, he’s dated exclusively women, leaving that part of him shut away.
Tom knows if he shows up to the reunion without a date, he’ll be lovingly but intensely ridiculed by his buddies all night. More than that, though, he knows he’ll probably end up in bed with some (or all) of them once tabs are paid and rides are called. That would be fine—great, even—if it weren’t for Ethan.
Ethan, a charmingly nerdy intelligence analyst, swept Tom up into his life weeks after he was discharged from the Army, struggling and alone. They’ve been best friends and roommates ever since, and Tom has worked hard to keep his feelings in check to preserve the status quo. But when Ethan agrees to accompany Tom to the bar as his fake boyfriend to keep the guys off his case, it seems like the perfect opportunity to test the waters. Is Ethan even into men? Is he into him?
If the answer is no, well… it was all just pretend anyway, right?

BLURB:
Toby
Being an event planner, working at my parents’ exclusive country hotel wasn’t at the top of my career list. Quite frankly, it wasn’t even on it, but when my latest venture, starting my own dance studio went pear shaped, it was suggested I give up my dream and join the family business.
It was bearable. The commute was short, but pandering to the rich and famous, finding only the best for their wedding or wake, I was starting to get itchy feet. In both senses of the word.
But things are going awry, I’m finding things in the weirdest of places and just sometimes, I feel like I’m not really alone.
Is it wishful thinking or is there something else going on here? Something, I’m not sure I want to know the answer to.
Matthias
He’s just my type, the guy with the smart suits, and the dancing feet. Well he would be if I wasn’t dead!
I’ve watched him for a while now though, trying to get his attention. Sometimes I think it’s working, but haunting, that’s hard work right there, and trying to get him to notice me. It’s proving a little difficult considering he can’t see me.
I have to find a way to fix that, because I want him to see me, I want to join him as he waltzes across that majestic ballroom.
Most of all, I want to be with him. Easier said than done, but somehow I have to find a way.

Clem Turner is pretty sure nothing else can go wrong. Assigned by the head of his museum to check out a possible acquisition, his train ride from Chicago to Duluth has been full of problems — lost luggage, food poisoning, and now an unscheduled stop in the middle of nowhere, Wisconsin. Hoping for a bit of distraction, he decides to check out the local fair, only to run right into a different sort of predicament.
The 1890s aren’t a great time to fall for another man, but with Anton Hess it’s hard to resist. An adventurer and businessman, Anton has captured the legendary ishcrin, a beast with wings, spines, and a nasty disposition, and he’s charging people to see it. For the nickel admission, though, Clem gets much more than he bargained for, and faces the prospect of the greatest disaster of his journey yet — a broken heart.

BLURB:
Running for my life from a zombie horde is one thing but doing it with Jesse Winters at my side is a different beast.
I have wanted him since the first moment he walked into the club I work at but I’ve never let him know. I’m the conquest Jesse hasn’t achieved, the man he really wants to take home at the end of the night, but I’m also the only one who ever seems to say no to him. He’s gorgeous and enticing, but I have my reasons for declining the offers he makes night after night.
That doesn’t mean I want him to die, though.
When the club explodes into a frenzied, feral zombie massacre, I do the only thing that comes to me in the moment: I grab Jesse and I run. We flee through the night for the cabin his family owns, battling zombies at every stop along the way, but I won’t be staying long when we arrive there. My growing desire to linger by his side where it’s safe is warring with the need to make sure my sister is still alive.
I’m not sure I should be leaving, not when we’re just starting something that feels real, but I know I can’t stay.
All I can do is promise Jesse that I’ll come back for him, no matter how long it takes.
No matter the danger lurking in the darkness.
No matter the horrors I’m made to endure.
No matter if it means I’ll have to leave him again to save his life.
I’ll always come back for him no matter what.

BLURB:
In a remote village, a man named Azaiah goes wreathed in flowers and smiling to the sacrificial altar, willing to die to keep his village safe from plague. But the Harvester has something else in store for Azaiah, and it isn’t the shores of the world beyond that await him…but the cloak and scythe itself. Being Death means a long life that nevertheless requires a connection to humanity, and Azaiah learns that corruption awaits those who do not find a mortal companion to keep them tethered to the world. He finds it in Nyx, a soldier from an ancient empire and an adopted son of the Emperor, whose soul burns bright enough that Azaiah is certain immortality won’t be a burden but a gift.
But then a shocking betrayal changes Nyx from a gruff soldier with a kind heart to a man bent on vengeance, swearing fealty not to Azaiah, but his sibling, Ares. With Nyx set on destroying the empire that was once his home, Azaiah is dangerously close to losing himself to the corruption that threatens those who lose their tether to the mortal world.
Nyx once loved the Empire and the family that took him in, but when the perfidy of his adopted brother results in a tragedy beyond his ability to bear, Nyx wants nothing more than to burn the world in his wake. Turning from the quiet, intriguing Azaiah toward the promise of bloody vengeance, Nyx gives his vows to Ares and watches the empire he once served fall into ruin. But as the years pass, vengeance is a cold comfort, and the man who is now called Glaive is determined to save Azaiah from being lost in the dark.

“Quirky.” Ugh, I hate that word. The PC term these days is ‘neuro-divergent’, but I prefer to be called autistic. It’s often a huge advantage to have a brain that works differently, but I sometimes wish it was easier to connect with other people. The things that make me different can make people want to keep their distance, and for a long time I’ve built walls around myself so no one wants to even try breaking through. Helping the sexy ER doctor renovate his house, I discover someone who wants to get closer instead of running away. I think Reed likes me because I’m a little different, not in spite of it. But the gorgeous doctor has a lot of baggage, and I worry that if he sees the parts of me I work so hard to keep under control, he’s going to turn tail and run.
Reed
I’ve overcome a lot to get to where I am as a doctor, including parents who loved their bigoted, homophobic church more than their child and an opioid addiction following years of self-loathing.

What I never expected was that while he was re-building my house, Dylan Campbell would be the first person who makes me want to take my walls down.

Bomber nearly had Bank where he wanted him, but the night didn’t end how he’d hoped. Then he got deployed, and spent the next six years avoiding Bank and the Charon MC. But now he’s retired from the US Airforce and back home for good, he needs to work out if, like him, Bank is still wondering what could have been.
Bank has always struggled with the fact he’s attracted to both men and women. After nearly falling for Bomber’s charms in the clubhouse he panics and fearing the club would reject him as his family had, he settles down with a woman in the hopes to appear normal.
But she’s no average female. She’s out to take everything she can from Bank, and she gets away with it until Bomber comes home. The former Airman is watching closely and waiting for his chance to save the man he knows is meant to be his from the woman who would happily burn the whole world down around them all.

Carter Lathan is nineteen, raised in an uber-religious household, and gets the guilts when he even thinks about approaching a guy who might be willing to bend Carter over. So when he finds a book that guarantees to help him summon such a man, it’s a no-brainer.
Okay, so he can’t find some of the weirder ingredients and has to make substitutions, he can’t read Latin to save his life so he makes something up… The spell won’t know, right?
Wrong.
Beez is nearly seven feet tall, with red skin, a kickin’ tail, and horns. Alcy has freaking wings. And they want Carter to choose between them.
But after a lot of talking—and other less cerebral activities—with the men… demon… angel… whatever… Carter decides he doesn’t want to choose—he wants both of them. Alcy and Beez are definitely not down with that. How would it look on their resumes? No, he has to choose, and if they have to show Carter what they can each offer him, that will help him decide once and for all.
Won’t it?

Baylon
I left home at sixteen, the epitome of every parent’s worst nightmare. If it was wrong, I tried it. The only right thing in my life was Parker. We met in preschool, fell in love, and were married. She always had my back even when I disappeared for months at a time, no questions asked. I screwed that up too.
Parker deserves more than a friends with benefits relationship but letting her go isn’t that easy. Neither is trusting Ryder, the man who broke me. They were both my first love, which one will be my last?
Parker
Baylon was too smart for his own good, paired with his evil temper, he was a ticking time bomb. A bomb I diffused more times than I can count. I should have moved on after he cheated, and we divorced but I couldn’t, he’s my best friend, we have a bond, and I’ll always love him.
Ryder
I’m an officer of the law, trained to known better, perhaps I did, and ignored it. Something about his smile set my insides on fire and rendered me unintelligible. I had to have him, I did have him, now I can’t forget him. One night wasn’t enough. Now, over a decade later he lands in prison, I’m his guard, and I’m on a mission to make him mine.

“This desire for you, it makes me afraid. I hate that you have this hold over me.”
Dexter Summerfield hasn’t kept his promise. When he moved to the Scottish Highlands to live with Kade Macbeth, it was on the condition that their relationship wasn’t a secret. Dexter had already announced it to millions of people anyway, so what’s the big deal?
But when Dexter goes away to work, he reverts to his old way—wild partying and out of control behaviour. He misses Kade so much it eats him alive. Still struggling to accept his sexuality, he runs the risk of losing the man that means everything to him.
When they are invited as a couple to spend the night in a haunted house for a televised Halloween special, Dexter refuses to go. A disagreement escalates to a break-up. Kade arrives at Linton Hall in Whitby and encounters temptation in the form of actor Ferdinand.
Dexter has no intention of letting Kade go, but he’s in for the fight of his life at the haunted house when he has to contend with ghosts, manic pop stars, a medieval knight and being mistaken for Dracula.

Running into your mate is one thing. Running into your human mate and being thrown into your first shift unexpectedly is quite another.
Dragon shifter Cedric was raised to be yet another in the long line of Alphas in his family knowing that one day he would be leader of his flight. Not once did anyone question what his designation would be once he took his scales for the first time—not anyone but Cedric. As his twenty-fifth birthday and first shift approached, Cedric had a feeling things would not go as his parents expected.
Alpha Abel is excited to begin his new job in the mountains. He was good and done with life in the desert and not just because his cheater of an ex kept showing up at his door begging for him to take him back. Okay, maybe that was part of it, but his new job sounded amazing too. Not to mention the plethora of hiking trails at his disposal.
When Abel goes hiking in the woodlands behind his new home, he expects to see squirrels, moss, and possibly a stream. He doesn’t expect to come face to face with the sexiest man he’s ever seen or to have the man turn into a dragon before his eyes. If only that was the most complicated part of it all.
