TITLE: Snow Balling

AUTHOR: Finn Dixon

SERIES: Snow Dates #1

PUBLISHER: Self Published

LENGTH: 139

RELEASE DATE: 12/12/2022

BLURB:

A single dad. A flirty manny. A crafty kid. Do they stand a snowball’s chance in hell of a merry and bright future together?

Gareth

It was literally the biggest d*ck I’d ever seen in person, and I started to question if my ass could handle it. But I didn’t quit drinking Diet Coke like I said I was going to last year and I wasn’t about to quit now either. After all, ten inches was a rare commodity these days.

It was supposed to be a one and done experience, so I was shocked when our paths crossed again – out of the bedroom.

I can’t remember the last time I felt a pull this strong, but I’d never dated a client before. Maybe this one’s too good to pass up?

Eli

Being a single dad pretty much meant I had to schedule NSFW time and rely on a babysitter. It’s all part of my exciting life in finance with the now-added bonus of after-school hockey practices.

After my company rewarded me with a trip to Hawaii, I was on the hunt for a new kid-watcher. Based on my neighbor’s recommendation, I’m introduced to Gareth – the last person I expected to see.

But the human mind is a funny thing because I don’t see that as a problem. And neither does my c*ck.

TITLE: The Humbug Holiday

AUTHOR: Lane Hayes

PUBLISHER: Self Published

RELEASE DATE: 12/12/2022

BLURB:

Two grumpy bears and a holiday season neither will forget…

Joe

So this sexy silver fox rolls into my small New England town and buys a run-down old house in need of renovation. That’s where I come in. My job is to do some basic repairs, so he can write in peace. Yep, the hotshot is a bestselling author, but that’s not why I recognize Cameron Warren.

No worries, I won’t let a one-night stand make things awkward. I could use the work, but is he seriously asking me to help him buy a Christmas tree too?

No way.

Cameron

I’m a good-natured guy all year long, but I have to admit…I hate the holidays.

There. I said it.

This season, I’m hiding away on the opposite side of the country in a picturesque village. My family isn’t excited about my decision, and the only way to assure them I’m fine is to deck the darn halls. Or hire someone else to do it.

The handyman might not be the logical choice for an elf, but his grumpy act makes me smile. Which makes me think the holidays might not be so “bah-humbug” this year after all.

TITLE: Sons of Heaven & Hell

AUTHOR: Tal Frost

SERIES: Hammer Falls #2

PUBLISHER: Self Published

LENGTH: 638

RELEASE DATE: 12/12/2022

BLURB:

Ever since Jin met his demon father, Ashmedai, and noticed how similar they are, he’s been plagued by the idea he’s bad. He can see it in the deceiving effects of his lust-demon eyes, the friendship he ruined with best friend Sam, and in the many, horribly obvious differences between himself and his noble part-angel boyfriend Nate. And now, even his fledgeling ‘good’ magic seems to have vanished – smothered and replaced by something with sinister, evil-feeling intentions…

As animals turn up mutilated in the woods and Ashmedai’s plans to avenge his banishment become clearer, Nate leaves for a place at the oppressive Seminary and Jin begins to spiral – doubting Nate, doubting himself, fighting his own impulses about love, sex, good and evil. But nothing is what he thinks: not the Seminary, not his magic, and certainly not Ashmedai’s plans.

Can Jin overcome his fears about what being ‘good’ enough means in time to save not just himself but all the other people implicated, before his father’s schemes bear their terrible fruit?

Cat shifter Luke and rat shifter Preston have had a solid relationship for ten years, but lately, the increasing attacks on their pack and the stress of raising their adopted daughter are highlighting more of their differences than the values they have in common. When they travel to Glenwood to investigate the source of the ancient artifacts tied to the recent violence, tensions in the shifter community—and their relationship—are already running high.

Strangely, this mystery seems tied to the events that brought them together. On their first mission, eighteen-year-old Luke and twenty-one-year-old Preston had to put aside their differences—and back-burner their mutual attraction—to prevent a disaster that would have revealed the existence of shifter kind to humans.

But how does what’s happening now connect to their past? And can they find the answers their pack, their species, and their relationship need to survive?

But first, he’ s got to get to the bottom of a suspicious death in the picturesque mountain town of Silveridge, Colorado. A local drug dealer has been killed, and the local sheriff’ s minimal investigation seems to suggest that something’ s not quite right.

Jacob isn’ t thrilled to be sent undercover a week before Christmas to look into what he is sure is a case of country-cop incompetency, but then his local contact, Park Ranger Cody Spencer, has him looking at his trip, Christmas and the case in a whole new way.

I’m only here in the first place because of our kids. I mean, how could I look in their pleading eyes and not stay? Especially when I know they just want us together as a family, like old times. Except it’s not like old times. There are reasons why we aren’t together anymore, and I need to keep those in mind instead of acting like everything is normal. Yet, here we are. All sitting on the couch in matching Christmas pajamas, watching Elf like the last several months never happened—as if we’re not on the verge of a divorce.

I thought I could do this, but as the snow piles up and the days fly by, the feelings I thought had long since faded have come rushing back. I love him. It’s always been him, and it’s even more confusing because I can tell he’s feeling it as well.

Can this gorgeous little freshman geek Gabe really save my degree and my reputation? All I know is that as soon as I laid eyes on him, I needed him. And I don’t want to share.

MARTY

But when he drags me into this graduation bet, it’s no laughing matter. So why shouldn’t this little cherub Gabe tutor me as well? In fact, I don’t see why we can’t share him in all kinds of ways.

Somehow, I’ve found myself standing up to the guy whose family pretty much owns Paddle Creek and put my neck on the line for two of the college’s star players. Now we’re spending every day together as I try and save their grades, and I don’t know if I’m crazy but it’s like they both want me. I’ve never had a boyfriend. I’m not even out to my overbearing parents. How could I choose between them…or do I actually have to when they both want to be my Daddies? After my life comes crashing down, it’s their turn to come to my rescue. Maybe what me and these god-like men have isn’t just a fling after all?

BLURB:

There’s nothing like an epic fall from grace.

Relationship: over.

Career: trashed.

Home: lost.

And somehow, it gets worse when I move into a run-down apartment with a neighbor who’s made it his mission to make my life a living hell. Reeling from my tragic breakup, all I want to do is collect the shattered pieces of my life and put them back together in a shape I recognize, but it’s hard to do that when the jerk next door is keeping me up all hours of the night.

Whatever he does with his loud woodworking tools, obnoxious nineties punk music, and his constant complaints about my working hours, sleep is now a fantasy. Where I once composed music, I now spend my nights entertaining myself with visions of revenge.

But as the war between us continues, things start to shift, and I come to realize our lives might not be that different after all. Where I once loathed the sound of him singing Sex Pistols and using his table saw, now I’ve come to crave it. And I’m starting to think that maybe a faceless stranger I’ve never met might be the key to finding the man I’d lost the day I met my ex.

I’m not sure if the universe has any kindness in mind, but maybe during the holidays, I’ll find my way to hope.

BLURB:

There’s nothing like having your sanctuary destroyed.

My life has been a series of carefully cultivated, strategic moves to ensure peace and quiet. I’m generally a happy guy but there’s one thing I can’t stand: having my space invaded. After all, that’s why I chose this run-down building that no one wants to live in.

And then he moved in.

The obnoxious, arrogant classical musician who spent his first night banging on the wall and insulting my playlist.

But as much as it’s been fun driving him up the wall, I start to see the cracks in his holier-than-thou demeanor—which I suppose is impressive for a blind man.

Something about his life is more tragic than I want to think about, and it doesn’t take more than a few kind words to get him to open up.

Where I once wanted to torment him until he moved out, now all I can think about is how he’d feel in my arms. I’m not sure if he’s willing to give me a chance after everything I’ve done, but this Christmas, I have hope.

And this New Year’s Eve—if luck is on my side—I’ll be ringing it in with the one man I will never let go.

BLURB:

I’m just an ordinary guy… who feeds on sexual energy.

I never knew my dad. Mom said he was a nice enough guy, fun for a night, but she never did get his name. I didn’t miss him, and my life is good.

Then a government agent shows up at my door and announces that I’m not really human. Dear old Dad was actually an incubus, a being that needs sexual energy to survive, and apparently that means I am too. Gotta be a scam, right?

Or so I think… until Agent Cutie changes into a canine (not a werewolf) in my living room and then eats half a dozen Christmas cookies while making orgasm sounds. Turns out, other species do exist.

On the plus side, being a stripper means that all my incubus needs are being met without me even trying. And now that I know the situation in my pants is normal for an incubus, I don’t feel self-conscious… so a fling with Agent Mark is definitely on the table.

Between being sexy Santa at work, supplying a team of hellhounds with Christmas cookies, and learning what stamina in the bedroom really is, I’m discovering that my old life was kind of empty. Maybe I’m not such an ordinary guy after all.

He’s just doing his best friend a favour, standing in as her Little wife’s caregiver during a themed Littles’ Night at their local club. But, when his eyes land on an extremely attractive older man in a onesie, all bets are off.

But will this older Little take a chance on a completely inexperienced younger Daddy, especially when that Daddy has an undisclosed -and potentially contradictory to the role- kink of his own?

Jermon thought he’d finally found his mates. Will fate now take them away?

Just when alpha dragon Jermon thought he’d found the two men he wanted to spend the rest of his life with, everything came crashing down. Literally.

The guilt about bringing trouble to the Hightower pack is real, but Jermon has bigger problems. Wilmer has no recollection of Jermon and Riordan, and his recovery is slow. Meanwhile, Riordan is acting weird. Is it the stress that’s getting to him? Or is something else going on?

When the Murphys aren’t the saviors they appeared to be and Jermon learns more about his magic, he knows what to do.

He needs to fight for his men and for his pack.
