Over a decade ago, Avery Laniston fell in love with his brother Bran’s best friend but walked out on him and married his career instead. He’s regretted it ever since. After twelve years abroad, he returns for Bran’s wedding, hoping to make amends—only to get stranded in an airport with the man he left behind.
When Paul Gladwell finds himself stuck in Dallas with Avery on the way to Bran’s wedding, he decides a one-night stand might be the ticket to closure. Instead it rekindles a spark that threatens to burn him a second time. The romantic atmosphere at the wedding venue doesn’t help, nor does scheming from their friends and family. But the worst culprit is Paul’s heart, which refuses to listen to his head’s warning that Avery hasn’t changed.
Avery knows he hurt Paul before, and he’s determined to make it right. But he doesn’t know where his next job might take him, and Paul is hesitant to trust him again. Can Avery prove he’ll be the partner Paul deserves—that he can balance his career and his personal life? Or will he add one night in Dallas to his years of regrets?

Some moments are perfect, you know?
I didn’t know that.
I didn’t believe it when Lucas told me he was falling for me. Up until the moment I kissed him, I didn’t believe it could feel that way— like falling.
Not just like it felt to pose in a photo and smile on command, to pretend perfect moments, a happy life.
I grew up believing that was love.
But when I kiss Lucas, I don’t feel like I’m faking it.
I do care he set me up to get blackmailed, but that’s a little bit of the kettle calling the pot black. I mean, let the first guy who blackmailed someone cast the first stone.
He is easy to love.
Some people would take that for granted, but not me. I know all about looking like I should be easy, and in fact, being the kind of person who makes everything hard.
Now that I’ve had a taste of him, I’m determined to hold onto this feeling, to become the guy LUCAS NEEDS.

It was bound to come to an end sooner or later. For years, The Calms has been a dream. A little oasis in the apocalypse, closed off from the outside world, from the encroaching military presence, from the so-called zombies… We fancied ourselves safe.
But I knew better. I knew it was only a matter of time before it went to hell.
Missing livestock, missing people, then the whispers in the dark, past the firelight and lanterns all haunted my little farmstead, edging closer while everyone around me lived in denial.
Even with all of our precautions, The Calms was ready to fall.
Then I found Sam. Doctor Sam Brodnax, to be specific. An accidental refugee from the nearby military lab, he’s trapped in The Calms as a surge of strangely advanced zombies starts creeping through our defenses.
Not only is Sam the first new face I’ve seen in The Calms since childhood and the embodiment of every fantasy I’ve ever had made real, he’s also the bearer of awful news: the cure we’ve been promised for years isn’t coming and the ghouls are starting to change into something more dangerous than we’ve ever imagined.
And The Calms is right in the path of the newest horde.
Between Sam and I, we have to find a way to push back the horde, to keep the people of The Calms safe and get him back to his lab before it falls to the horde as well.

I was born of the first line of Vritra, a dragon from a noble drake and a high-born dette in my homelands of India. I was the only dette of my clutch, a treasure raised for political gain, as all my other dette siblings and half siblings were. My drake father’s line had a strong reputation for laying, especially with the help of his alchemistical tonics grown from sacred flowers in their secret garden.
I am a dette, a treasure, a rarity and precious jewel in these days. A drake is to fawn over me and spoil me, or at least I was told as much. My father gave me to an American drake for a tract of land for my brother’s inheritance, to start the Vritra line there with my brother as head of this New World’s clan. The fates had other plans, though. My heats came and went, and I never produced a single egg for my drake. For forty years, I wilted under my drake’s hand until the truth came to me in the form of five beautiful drakes who swear that I am their prince, bartered with their stolen treasure.
I really want to be their prince, but in my life I’ve not born a single egg, and I want so much to give them pups, to bear that banner of pride, but I don’t know if they’ll be okay without pups, with a defective dette as myself. If I cannot give them pups, then I must be the best prince they could ever ask for.

After a little mishap in an alleyway with CCTV, my public image needs fixing. Oops?
It might have been a stunt to get the attention of Lane Pierce, San Jose’s new PR manager, but I didn’t realize what the consequences would be when I did it. I’ve got Lane’s sole focus now in all the wrong ways.
He has designated himself as my babysitter, and while it’s fun messing with him, being bound by curfews and rules has never worked for me.
The more I push back, the more I realize what’s really on the line. My career, my future, and maybe even my heart.
LANE
Being appointed head of San Jose’s PR department was a dream come true … until I met Oskar Voyjik.
He may be San Jose royalty, but with the stunts Oskar’s been pulling, the team owner is down to his last thread of patience. Which puts me in the firing line. If I can’t turn Oskar’s entitled party boy image around, we’ll both be shown the door.
I have free rein to do whatever it takes, and it turns out whatever it takes is Oskar.
Only, the more entangled our lives become, the more I see the Oskar he’s buried deep down. The one who hurts, the one who’s sensitive and kind, the one … the one I think I’m falling for.
I can’t have him and my career, and if rumors of the professional lines I’ve crossed get out, it’s not only my dream job I can kiss goodbye; I’ll be disgraced from professional sports completely.

Or it would be if I hadn’t been lusting after the irritating, judgemental, gorgeous, mountain of a man, ever since.

But now he’s apartment-sitting above the shop, as well. Every time I turn around, Leon is there. In my store. In my space. Messing with my head. Being all nice and charming and acting like maybe he’s not the biggest jerk to walk the earth, after all.
Well, I don’t want or need Leon’s apologies, but maybe if I can have him, just once, it might put an end to this ridiculous hunger that sparks every time I lay eyes on him.

And to collect his inheritance, too, except for what he finds in the family vault. No one said anything about a fast-talking familiar. They certainly never mentioned a dragon.
But deeper danger awaits. Sylvain and Locke must untangle the twisted curse threatening to strangle all life, first in the Oriel of Earth, and now in the Oriel of Air.
They must face the Withering.

When Ezra and Titus come across an old sign indicating the Dupree estate was once an inn, they consider reopening it as The Heart-Shaped Gate Bed and Breakfast. Not long afterwards, they discover someone has already been lodging there, down in the dark, spooky basement.
Ezra wants to turn the trespasser in to authorities, but Titus, still struggling with the past, has a soft spot for the guy who seems lost. Even he has to admit, however, that something about the man’s story and odd behavior just doesn’t add up. Tales of a past love have a familiar ring, a fictional one, and the man’s timeline of events simply doesn’t add up barring some sort of paranormal explanation.
Can Titus and Ezra get over the bumps in their relationship? Will the new guy steal Titus away? And if he succeeds, what nefarious fate might he have in mind?

Adriano
It started as the hottest hook-up of my life. Jack was gorgeous, and the spark between us was intense. But the night ended with me chasing him through the streets of San Francisco half-naked, after he stole my late father’s watch. Awesome.
Days later, I finally tracked him down, just as I got the news that all hell was breaking loose back home in Las Vegas. Now I have to bring Jack along while I deal with the mobster who’s targeting my family—as if a road trip with that little thief is even sort of a good idea. But what choice do I have? If I let him out of my sight, he and my most prized possession will disappear forever.
I can’t deny it, I’m still drawn to Jack—but how can I trust him?
Jack
I like to think of myself as a modern-day Robin Hood. I rob from the rich and give to—well, to me. I’m poor, so that counts. Not that I’d planned to rip off Adriano Dombruso when he picked me up in a bar, but that vintage Rolex was just too tempting to pass up.
It sucked when he managed to track me down. Then, before we could retrieve his watch, an urgent call from home set him in motion. Now I suddenly find myself in Vegas. The bad guys are closing in, and the smart choice would be to escape and save myself—after all, self-preservation is what I’m best at. Somehow though, I hate the thought of leaving Adriano to deal with this on his own.
Am I actually falling for that big, burly gangster?

BLURB:
When Seth walks into Drew’s painting studio to kill him, Drew mistakes the vampire for someone finally answering his ad: ‘ISO male figure model, comfortable working nude, think Michelangelo.’
The misunderstanding is far too hilarious for the infinitely bored Seth to pass up.
He agrees to pose for a series of portraits, but there’s a snag; as a vampire sovereign, Seth needs to make a compelling excuse to his subjects for why he’s spared the human’s life.
Telling them he’s claimed the artist as his chosen mate seems to do the trick.
When the excuse begins to feel more like the truth, Seth is unsettled by the development of feelings alien to his millennia on earth… and even more unsettled by the revelation that he is not the only dark hunter who has taken an interest in Drew.

Pilan
I knew that living in the city as an artist would mean getting on the struggle bus. No one just arrives in town, bumps into someone who could make their career, and then finds fame and fortune. Only, for a while, I thought that was exactly what happened. Julian was rich, huge in the art world, and he wanted to open doors for me. Not only that, but he wanted to take care of me, moving me into his penthouse. I was already in too deep when I saw him for what he was, a human who had a thing for young omegas, tossing them aside once they hit the ripe old age of twenty five—or less.
I can’t be with someone like him another minute, but my options are limited. Perhaps the Male-Order Mates app will help me find a true mate—as far away from Julian and his ugliness as possible. Even if they aren’t my fated, it will be someone who truly wants a real relationship.
Stefano
My brother means well. I know he does. He sees me as a talented chef who’s too shy for his own good. And maybe I am, but he’s gone too far with this one. Signing me up for a Male-Order mate without letting me know is unacceptable. I have no choice but to buy the omega a train ticket back. It isn’t fair not to.
But then he bounds off the train, excitement and joy flowing from him, making the town a better place just by his presence, and I find myself sliding the ticket back into my pocket. Maybe my brother was right after all. Maybe I should give this sunshine-filled artist a chance. My bear sure seems to think so.

Xander
Big City is supposedly the place where dreams come true. As someone just trying to live my life, I can tell you, it’s more like a recurring nightmare where dreams get c*ckblocked at every turn.
Especially if you’re a supervillain like me.
The irony is that I have zero powers, despite coming from purebred villain stock, but try telling that to Big City’s beloved hero, Captain Masculine.
This himbo is ruining my research, and if his firepower doesn’t kill me, the sight of him in Lycra surely will. Luckily—or unluckily, in my opinion—my bestie just signed me up for the Bangers dating app and found my perfect match.
If this isn’t the start of my villain arc, I don’t know what is.
Butch
It’s hard feeling like I have to wear a mask every day—that the only value I bring to the table is the sparkling image others have created for me.
Such is the life of being Captain Masculine, Big City’s greatest superhero. This is the existence I was destined for, and I will gladly defend this city against every threat to its people.
Except Doctor Antihero.
I’ve seen countless villains come and go, but something about Antihero intrigues me more than the usual hero-villain encounters should.
It’s because of him that I impulsively signed up for a dating app, hoping a meaningless fling with a local normie will help get my head back in the game. The truth is, what I really want is someone who sees me—the man behind the mask.
But that’s a luxury no superhero can afford.
