When a fiery crash gets Karl suspended for dangerous driving, can the pair find his mysterious enemy before Karl loses his career and Dren?

They were never supposed to meet, then tragedy strikes, throwing them in each other’s paths.
Blaise Thompson had everything he always wanted: A soulmate, a daughter, and the person he spent more than half his life with. When the foundation of his life cracks after the death of one of his partners, he’s left adrift, relying on his husband and his new friendship with Grant to get him through.
Grant Davis-Wilde’s unconventional upbringing taught him to never settle, except his insecurities and anxiety prevented him from making meaningful connections. When he loses the one person who understood, he finds himself alone in the tragedy until Blaise and his husband offer a lifeline he desperately needs.
Sawyer Thompson would do anything for his husband, including inviting the man they were never supposed to meet into their lives so Blaise can have someone else to lean on. What he doesn’t expect is to feel drawn to the gorgeous, hurting man.
In the wake of their shared heartbreak, Blaise and Grant cling to one another, finding safety and connection they never expected, but neither hesitates to grab with both hands. And Sawyer finds himself falling head over heels for Grant, the other man filling pieces Sawyer didn’t know he was missing. But grief isn’t easy, and with every step forward, there are two steps back.
Grant desperately wants to be a part of the unique family Blaise and Sawyer come with, but his past insecurities won’t allow him to believe he can have what they’re offering.

Tyler-
Some days I wish I’d never met Gregory Baldwin. Then there are days when I feel like I’ll die if he’s away for too long.
It’s like I’m addicted to him. Addicted to the attention he gives me and what he does to me in secret. He has lips made for sin and a body I can’t keep my hands off of, but mostly, I know he has a heart. That’s what keeps me coming back.
Now he’s cruel, malicious, possessive… nothing like the boy I once knew. And yet, deep down, I know that guy is still there under this bad boy exterior. He has to be, or everything we’ve been through is pointless.
Being with him feels like dying and surviving all at once. It’s wild, manic, and soul-crushing, but it’s us. He’s all I’ve ever had and the only thing I’ll ever want.
Because even when I hate him…
I love him ten times harder.
Greg-
I’m broken beyond repair, too fucked up to be saved. My mind fights demons daily, while the shattered organ in my chest only causes me pain.
I wish I could just end it all. Say goodbye to this miserable existence.
Only, to leave this life would mean leaving him, and that’s not something I can do.
Once I made a promise to a boy that I plan on keeping. The years may have dragged us apart, and I know he hates me now, but that’s okay. I don’t blame him; I hate myself, too.
Regardless of the animosity, one thing remains the same: Tyler.
He’s the constant in a haze of self-destruction. The one who somehow, after everything, is still there for me, no matter how badly I mess up.
I don’t deserve him. I never did, but I’ll never let him go either.
He is mine, and I am his.

“The next time someone knocks at the front door, would you just do the doggy thing and bite them? Please?”
Stefan de Marco and Lucifer Fireborn are back for this third installment of The Magic Users of Greenford trilogy. You’d have thought things would’ve quietened down by now. But no. Along with Creed – Stefan’s canine familiar – they embark on a final case that threatens to undermine everything to do with the Anchor Division, and even what it means to be a Fireborn.
“My name is Stefan de Marco, and I was born into the Trades Sector.”
Stefan has always known who he is and what he stands for. When Lucifer accepts a case, working for the Brethren – the organization that wants to see anchors like Stefan dead or enslaved – he’s understandably angry. But trying to get Lucifer to understand the enormity of what he’s done is going to take a lot more than a few cross words.
…You and Stefan need to be on the same page before the plane lands in Florida…
Lucifer knows he loves his mate and anchor. As far as he’s concerned that’s all that’s important. Stefan understands his need to work cases, helping to keep the innocent safe, so when Stefan gets angry with him over the new case he’d taken, Lucifer has to do some fast talking to make things right.

I was never supposed to see him again.
Derek:
I always hoped to meet my dream man the old-fashioned way. Instead, here I was at thirty, and all I had under my belt was a lifetime of bad first dates, being stood up, and getting ghosted. See, once most guys realized that the brewery owner was secretly an introverted chemistry nerd, they bolted.
As it turned out, Leo wasn’t most guys.
We met at a club, and our connection was instantaneous. For the first time in my life, I felt like someone saw things in me that I’d never even seen myself. And when Leo popped back up in my life again? Those last few embers of hope I’d long extinguished began to flicker again.
That was, until Leo seemed to not want to have anything to do with me.
So why can’t I stop provoking him?
Leo:
For as long as I can remember, I’ve had just two goals in life: get out of Leighton, and open my own restaurant. I accomplished the first at eighteen and was so close to the second I could taste it. But when one bad decision at my old restaurant resulted in not only getting fired but having to move in with my brother, I thought I’d hit rock bottom. Starting over at thirty-four in Leighton was about the lowest things could get.
Until I ran into someone I thought I’d never see again. Someone who made me seriously rethink my one-and-done rule. There was just one problem, though.
I couldn’t risk another job, even for someone like Derek.
So why can’t I stop thinking about him?

There’s got to be a reason it’s a cliche, and in his world, cliches sell.

Lake
I’ve worked my entire life to succeed in a sport I don’t particularly enjoy. I’ve faced homophobic teammates, hostile locker rooms, and coaches who couldn’t care less about me as a person, but nothing could have prepared me for this.
It’s my first year – my fresh start – with a Professional League football team and teammates who are blissfully unaware of my sexuality. I have a contract, money to keep my family afloat, and I’m only the backup kicker this season. Perfect, right?
Wrong. Both the starting kicker and punter go out for injuries, and now I’m all the team has. Talk about a heavy weight on my shoulders.
And to top it all off, the most popular guy on the team is . . . pursuing me? Everything he says seems to have a double meaning, and it sounds suspiciously as if he’s propositioning me.
Let off some steam, he says.
One time couldn’t hurt, could it? Okay, maybe two times. Or three.
Kane
Football, family, and friends. What more could a man need?
As one of the best tight ends in the Professional League, I’m living the life I’ve always dreamed of. I’m one to always go with the flow, and people don’t tell me no. Women love me, my fans cheer for me, and my best friend is there whenever I need him.
This is, until I meet our rookie kicker. He’s strong, independent, and wants nothing to do with me – which is crazy because I’m such a cool guy! Trying to befriend him leads to a misunderstanding of intimate proportions, and suddenly, I’m not so sure my life is all that perfect the way it is.
He needs help getting his feet under him within the league, and I need help navigating these new feelings I have after our confusing encounter.
Maybe we can help each other . . . After all, a deal is a deal.

The only exciting thing to happen to me in the past year was when Gabe moved to town—too bad Nonna scared him off. It’s hard to impress a guy when your dead grandmother calls him the devil.
The last thing I expect when I pick up a ride-share client and take him to Mannix Estate is that he’s a demon. An actual, breathing, can-kill-me-with-a-thought demon. That night blows my simple life apart and changes everything. Turns out, ghosts aren’t the weirdest things out there, my best friend and Gabe are both part of this alternate world, and there’s a big bad demon who wants to end us all. What’s a small-town boy to do but roll up his sleeves and join the fight to save the world?
Working side by side with Gabe reminds me just how much I liked him when we first met… and the feeling’s mutual. As the clock counts down and we both struggle with personal issues, it’s good to know there’s someone to lean on. But I don’t know if our tenuous connection can survive the hell that’s coming and see us through to the other side.

The relationship between Jamie and me wasn’t meant to happen, but I’m glad it did. As our two-man relationship progresses, we try to bring William along for the ride. We want him and we know he wants us.
William Smith –
I have been in the kink community for over ten years, have had a few short relationships and a couple of flings, but nobody has ever made me feel the way they do. After opening my BDSM club in the heart of Manchester, I feel like I have achieved something huge, but the empty feeling in my chest is still there when I walk through the door alone every night.
I met Justin at a munch a few months ago and he’s quickly becoming a great friend. Jaime is the best friend of my brother Nate’s boyfriend. We all get along so well but now Jaime and Justin are inviting me into their relationship and not just for the night. I just don’t know what I’ll be able to contribute to the bond they already have. Can I open myself up to them and let them in without getting my heart trampled on?

As their love story unfolds, so do the secrets and sadness hidden at the heart of Asquith Hall.

Now he has to find a way to get back into The Wolf’s Mate with Raul, hope the threatening visions he’s having of Constantine following him into the real world are just dreams rather than premonitions, and deal with a heroine who’s furious Brad has usurped her role, all while fending off morning sickness.
That’s just the price he has to pay for trading in his playbook for a grimoire, but Constantine is going to do whatever it takes to make sure Brad and Raul never reach their Happily Ever After.
