When seventeen-year-old Patrick Roman is offered a scholarship to a top hockey preparatory school, he thinks maybe his notorious bad luck has finally ended. With a hearing for his legal emancipation on the horizon, he dreams of getting scouted and securing a place on a D1 college team. There’s only one problem: Roman has serious beef with his new winger on the team, Damien Bordeaux. They’re supposed to be perfectly in sync on the ice. But Roman, with his buzzcut and tattoos, has nothing in common with trust-fund-kid Damien, his floral scrunchies, and designer T-shirts that cost more than all of Roman’s secondhand hockey gear combined.
When eighteen-year-old Damien Bordeaux starts his senior year, he tells himself he’s going to focus on hockey and school. No more making out in the stacks, no more dorm parties. He needs to decide what his future will look like. Does he pursue his long-held dream of becoming an author? Or stay in his lane and do what he’s good at: hockey. Regardless, he’s not going to let any pretty boys distract him from figuring his shit out. Except his new center, Roman, is possibly the most beautiful boy Damien has ever seen. And his hockey—the way he moves on the ice—might be even more beautiful. Too bad he’s also probably a homophobic, racist asshole.
But their antagonistic beginning turns into an unlikely friendship and then turns into something much scarier for them both. Navigating relationships is hard enough for normal teenagers. It’s a lot harder when contending with lawyers, NHL scouts, and mutual past trauma. Roman and Damien have to decide: What do they really want in life? Are they willing to fight for each other—including fighting against their own pasts and prejudices—so they can have a happy ending?

Moving to Seattle is supposed to be all about getting a fresh start and leaving the bitter man I was becoming behind.
I have new roommates–quirky, sometimes strange, roommates–a nosy, next door neighbor and a grumpy kitty for company, but even surrounded by people, I still don’t feel like I belong.

Achilles loved playing the hero…
Being a mere man had never been enough for him. He wanted to be a great one. And when he finds out that Helen, his childhood best friend, has gone missing, taking the mission is instinct. Even if it meant returning to the place he was born and raised, a place he swore never to return to —Heraklion. But he goes nowhere without Patroclus.
Patroclus loved being one…
But being a hero was nothing like playing one. It was a senseless sequence of pyrrhic victories he’d carry forever. Yet when Achilles needs him to return to Heraklion and the arena he had been forced to claw his way out of, he says yes because… well, of course he does. He would follow Achilles anywhere.
Yet both had left more of themselves in Heraklion’s notorious arena than they’d taken. So returning would not require heroes but something else, something worse, especially when Helen is not the only one in need of rescue. They both must determine not only what it means to be a man, but what it means to be a good one.

Can a former jock and nerd with two broken hearts find a way to mend it into one?
Brandon:
Kevin was my everything. He was my first kiss, my first lover, and my first boyfriend. His piercing blue eyes, shoulder-length blonde hair, and ripped basketball physique were the eye candy I needed to get through my rigorous academic day. He was the man I would spend the rest of my life with, but everything changed when his teammate Robbie caught us about to make love. The affectionate, bi-curious guy disappeared, and a closeted angry jock replaced him. After that, my life was never the same.
So, when I saw him for the first time after ten years, I wanted to hurt and love him simultaneously. I realized I hadn’t fully healed from the pain he’d caused me ten years ago, and I was finally going to confront him about it, and I was going to make him listen.
Kevin:
Ten years ago, I acted out of panic and did something I’ll never forgive myself for. The rumors I spread and the lies I told about Brandon reflected my insecurity. I was young, closeted, immature, and didn’t know who I was.
In an interesting turn of events, the universe brought us together, and to my surprise, he transformed into a muscular, handsome Adonis with a sexy after-five shadow. I knew fate was giving me a second chance to correct my past, and I would do whatever it took to win his heart back.

Callum Davis
I don’t like men, I remind myself. But something about this man makes me question everything about myself. This man. He angers me like no other. He challenges everything I say like he has any right to argue. I’m the son of legendary driver Carl Davis. I know cars and racing like I was born to do it. And this guy walks through the door with his air of superiority and flamboyance and expects me to cower?
His very presence annoys me, so why does he make me feel things I’ve never felt before?
It doesn’t matter because this could never happen. It’s just not an option in our world. I was born to race, it’s what’s expected of me and I have to put that above everything else.
Even my heart.
Elijah Hayes
Out of all the drivers, why was I chosen to work with NASCARs bad boy Callum Davis?
God must have a screwed-up sense of humor.
His debauchery is plastered all over social media and newspapers. Snapshots of him drinking, partying, and hanging all over women are the center page spreads. He had a shit season last year and rumor has it, Eisenhower has given him an ultimatum.
Maybe I won’t have to deal with him for long.
Being the only openly gay mechanic in NASCAR is enough to deal with, I don’t need a driver with a chip the size of Texas on his shoulder to deal with.
But you know what they say about best-laid plans…they were run over by an eighteen-wheeler truck the second my eyes meet the sad dark gaze of the man who was made to be mine.
Let the games begin.

As a special agent for the MOA Intelligence Division, it’s his job to find the truth. To do that, the last thing he needs is distractions.
So, of course, the most tempting distraction he’s ever seen strolls through the door of the local bakery, not just flipping the script, but rewriting it completely.
Stuck in a rut and drowning in his own insignificance, Dylan Murray needs a change. For starters, he needs to make a clean break from his selfish and demanding mother.

When the worst happens, and Dylan joins the list of humans to mysteriously vanish from the French Quarter, Rogue will do whatever it takes to get his new mate back safely.

I’ll either offend Cade by accident and he’ll hate me forever, or I’ll blurt out the fact that I can’t stop imagining what it would be like to kiss him. A rejection – or finding out that I’m not as interested in him as I thought – could make things real awkward down here under the snow, especially given that we need to share a bed for warmth.
The only question is – is there something else I can do with my mouth that might make the wait for rescue more bearable…?

There was peace at last between Earth and Daran, despite the mixed feelings on both planets. At least Jon and Talin could visit now as allies, instead of former enemies, not to mention the trade opportunities waiting to grow.
Jon should have known his joy would be short-lived.
A call from his father informed him of a plague overtaking Earth, killing whomever it touches. Warned away by his parents, Jon is determined to do whatever he needs to aid them.
Daran answers Earth’s call for help, but now it is a race against time.
Leaving for Earth, neither Jon nor Talin know if they will survive, or if they will ever be able to return to Daran.
Will they be asked to make the ultimate sacrifice to ensure Earth’s survival? Or will a cure be the biggest threat to Jon and Talin’s lives while another enemy lurks in the shadows?

Dear Henri, there was a man at the restaurant this evening who looked so much like you that I winked at him and laughed.

Do you ever think back on the decisions we made and wonder if we could’ve tried harder?
Isidor was the one that got away, the one who’s impossible to forget, and Henri still questions the decisions they made back then. Could they have fought harder for what they had?
My darling Henri. I still dream of you after all this time.

Life is full of should haves.
Shaun
Three years ago, I left King’s Bay and the man I loved behind to climb the corporate ladder in New York City. It broke my own heart, and I was left with the same question that has plagued me my whole life:
Am I making a mistake?
It took three years for me to get my answer, but sometimes, it’s too late to do anything about your mistakes.
Benji
Three years ago, the man I loved made a decision that affected both of us. He made it without talking to me. He broke my heart, but more than that, he broke my trust.
I have to keep reminding myself of this now that he’s back.
Because once trust is broken, it’s hard to get back. Second chances may be great in books and movies, but this is the real world and things are never that easy.

Berklak:
Being a half-orc is fun most of the time. Most people think I’m all orc, and that usually slicks things up so I can glide in and out of town without much fuss. Most of the time things go really smoothly for me. Sometimes, young watchmen from small towns with too much time on their hands pick a fight with half-orcs just trying to get some mead, and sometimes that ends up with me taking a kid all the way to the capital to become a bard, and sometimes that means I discover along the way a new questline that I need to follow. Sometimes. Well, this time, at least, and my companion for this quest is the cutest little necromancer I’ve ever seen (he’s the only one I’ve ever seen, but he’s adorable).
Now, where did I leave my barrel of mead again?
Lawton:
Being the most feared human in Fasgard is annoying and inconvenient. It’s not like I went out of my way to be born a necromancer, but since my options are death or working for the king, I gladly accept my role as high sorcerer. It doesn’t matter that I’m a prince of the realm, at least not to anyone in the palace. When one of my father’s concubines loses her temper a little too hard, the things I discover lead me to the most wonderful half-orc I’ve ever met (I’ve only met the one, but he’s amazing), and my very first real adventure.
I can’t believe I’m finally going to leave the palace!
