Sean left the family for a reason. Now Warden is determined to force him back. Let it be on his head, then.
Years ago, Sean fell for his father’s second in command, Warden. It’s an obsession that’s gone on for much longer than anyone knows. He can’t stop. Despite what everyone thinks, this is real love. It was never a teenaged crush. Now, after years of having heartache thrust upon him, Warden acts like he’s ready to give Sean a shot, as if he didn’t destroy Sean’s life. It’s laughable. Sean will do anything to stop himself from making the same mistake that’s already destroyed him, even if that means walking away from the only family he’ll ever have. For good this time.
Warden knows he has a million things to repair between them. He was the one who pushed Sean away, and he’s the reason Sean left the family. Warden lives with that every day. Except no one knows the way Warden aches every time he looks at Sean and he has to find a way to change. Even though he still doesn’t understand why Sean wants him in the first place, he’s moved beyond caring as long as he wins his man. It’ll just take a little scheming and a lot of luck.

Who knew getting snowed in at the airport could be so much fun?
The nomadic lifestyle of a wildlife photographer is perfect for Ren Stewart—he travels the world with no obligations, no place to call home. With time between assignments, he’s ready to leave the cold New York winter for sunny California. But twenty inches of snow on a layover means his flight’s canceled and he’s stranded. It’s going to be a long, lonely night at the airport waiting for the snow to melt.
Lucky for Ren, he meets a gorgeous man and they hit it off. Too bad they’ll have to go their separate ways.
Or will they?
Something in Schaeffer’s eyes suggests he might be up for sharing the last available hotel room…and the bed.
Airline pilot Schaeffer Morgan is used to being alone. It’s hard to have a relationship when you’re only home for a few days at a time. He’s learned to live with stolen moments of pleasure as well as bigoted remarks from coworkers who don’t know he’s gay.

A death sentence. A murderous harpy. And two men who must mend the mistakes of the past to survive the present.
Being on the run is no laughing matter for Lief Cooper. Better that than be hanged for a murder he didn’t commit, though. In his desperation, there’s only one man he can turn to—Captain Zephyr Chase. His magical prowess might make him the most feared pirate in all the realm, but to Lief, he’s a childhood friend and his ex-lover. Oh, and the man whose heart he happened to break.
Help Lief? Hardly. Zephyr would rather zap himself with lightning. Besides, he’s got more important things to worry about than the sexual chemistry still burning brightly between them. Like the obsessive and deranged harpy masquerading as a man who will stop at nothing to claim Zephyr as his own. And he’s not going to take too kindly to there being competition.
Lief and Zephyr have a golden opportunity for a second chance at love. But first, they need to clear Lief’s name, thwart a monster who’s impossible to kill, and not starve to death at sea in the process. Easy, right?

Ezekiel Boehm is no stranger to teaching kids with famous parents. But when the pro hockey player he’s been thirsting after walks into the Rittenhouse Friends School gym hand in hand with a tiny kindergartener, he figures he must be hallucinating. Spencer McLeod is a lot of things—Zeke’s favorite winger on the Philadelphia Liberty; a menace on the ice; a mumbling, reluctant but somehow captivating-as-hell postgame interview—but he’s not a dad. Except he is. Apparently.
Zeke can be chill about this. He can.
Surprisingly, the more time he spends with Spencer, the easier this becomes. School volunteer events turn into reserved seats at games, turn into…more.

This can never work. Can it?

Trained from childhood, he is a skilled thief, assassin, and spy–but his true worth lies in the magic that allows him to kill with a single touch. Given an assignment that feels like a test of loyalty, Soren suspects there is more at work in the Vasco pack ranks than he knows. Not that it matters. Soren always gets the job done. That is, until he encounters a gorgeous tattooed man whose touch negates his magic.
Dominik Prince is a simple man. He just wants to run his coffee shop in peace and remain off the radar for anyone who might connect him to the past he’s worked so hard to escape. But simple isn’t in the cards when you’re a witch in hiding. Especially not when the past you’ve run from always seems to be nipping at your heels. When Dominik finds himself wrapped around a handsome man on his night out, he doesn’t expect to be drawn into the business of the local wolf pack; after all, the man in his arms clearly isn’t a wolf.
Fate and duty pull Dominik and Soren in directions neither anticipate, but the attraction between them can’t be denied any more than Soren’s orders or Dominik’s independence. But like a bad penny, the past has a way of turning up when least convenient and might well tear any hope of a future apart.

Gabriel
I’ve loved my best friend Trent since the day we met. The only problem? He’s straight, and I’m definitely not. Our differences have never come between us, but sometimes the line is so blurry I don’t know where “friend” stops and something more begins.
And Trent is really not helping matters.
We’re so close people mistake us for brothers or lovers. He’s my favorite pillow to sleep on, my favorite shoulder to cry on, my favorite arms to fall into. Is friendship really all this is or dare I try for more with the man I’ve always loved?
Trent
When Mom left, it broke something inside me. I’ve been a loner ever since, terrified to hold on to anyone. There are only two people in my life I dare to trust: My dad and Gabe.
Maybe I’m a little clingy with Gabe, a little too affectionate, but he’s half of my world. If he ever left the way Mom did, I don’t think I could take it.
When things between us start blurring the line between “friend” and something more, it terrifies me. I’ve only been with women. What if I mess this up? What if I’m so bad at it that Gabe hates me? What if I’m not good enough and he leaves?
If being with him will push him away, maybe I’m better off stuffing these feelings away.

I didn’t think the whole “what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas” thing was true… until I found out my memory and my marriage license had been there for the past fifteen years.
DALTON
My family is old money and my life has been mapped out since before I was born. Become a lawyer, buy a house, get married, carry on the family name—all of that good stuff that comes with this kind of upbringing. I have the job and the house, but instead of the marriage, I’m happy playing the field with a close-knit group of friends. Finding out that I’ve been secretly married for half my adult life was a plot twist I didn’t see coming.
Carter Emerson Royce IV is everything I used to want to be. I haven’t seen him since college, and now he’s asking me to come to New York and pretend we’re the perfect picture of domestic bliss. Considering the history between us, it’s the least I can do.
***
I’m one divorce away from the life of my dreams, and I’m not going to ruin that by doing something stupid like falling in love with my husband.
IVEY
All I need to do is to win over the co-op board for the most upscale building in New York so I can secure keys to the penthouse I’ve wanted for years. It should be easy, but when they ask about my marital status and produce a marriage license from Vegas, my plans are thrown out the window. I’ve spent fifteen years trying to not think about Dalton Fox, but we’re about to get up close and personal again whether we like it or not.
The plan is simple—pretend we’re really married and in love long enough for my application to get approved, Dalton goes back to LA a single man, and I go on with the rest of my life. Except it doesn’t take long for us to learn there’s more between us than history. Dalton and I are compatible in more ways than one, and the spark between us is very bright and very real.
His life is in California and mine is in New York. Being legally bound doesn’t mean anything, but the way Dalton makes me feel has to count for something. He doesn’t just see the darkest parts of me, he mirrors them, he touches them, he…loves them. Soon it becomes clear, the penthouse isn’t the only thing at stake. The rest of our lives—and the future of our marriage—are too.

Dario Banetti was hours away from inheriting his father’s legacy. All he needed was to dodge the Russians and the Irish, and put a wedding band on his fiancée. Until the moment he found out his father’s best-friend and fiancée’s papa had ordered the hit that had taken out his parents eighteen years ago.
And his fiancée would step over his dead body as they walked back down the aisle and marry into the Irish Mob. The ones that had promised his future father-in-law he would have everything that was rightfully Dario’s.
Not happening.
Even if he had to light the night sky with the fires of revenge and retribution.
He just had to get married first.
Then miracle of miracles, he found out his traitorous fiancée had a half-brother. An illegitimate one, but one that still fulfilled the terms of his father’s will, so the territory became rightfully his.
He just had to convince him of that.
A twenty-year-old innocent that had been a near slave all his life? Piece of cake.

Beelbufo has lived a comfortable life as a pet frog for two decades, enjoying pets, human food, and horror movie nights with his favorite human, Gabe. But when Gabe and Az fall head over heels in love, they decide Beel needs a companion too. Little does Beel know that the charming pet shop owner, Jon, is about to become his unsuspecting caretaker. There’s only one small catch – Jon thinks Beel is just an ordinary pet frog.
When Jon’s safety is threatened, Beel can’t help making an appearance in his human form. Now Jon’s eyeing him with suspicion (turns out his cover story wasn’t that great), Gabe and Az are up to their matchmaking antics, and Beel really just wants another kiss with the adorable pet shop owner. (Oh, did we forget to mention they shared a kiss? Spoiler alert: it was magical.)
If Beel’s meddling family can stop interfering, Jon can stop being so suspicious, and Beel can stop being so scared of outing his true identity, these two might just get their own happily ever after. (Hopefully with more kisses, because Beel really does like the kissing.)

Fred
When people say, “Live your best life,” the ideal at thirty-three doesn’t account for bisexual awakening, divorce, unemployment, and being beaten to a pulp by muggers all in the span of a few weeks. Five months later, my therapy of choice—or rather, my sister, Franny’s, choice—was to work through my physical and emotional trauma at Knockout Gym with a personal trainer who specializes in my exact kind of baggage.
Only he’s part of my baggage too. Corbett Jahns, the prick who bullied me in high school and caused what were probably my first signs of bi awakening long before I was ready to deal with it.
The universe hates me.
Corbett
Freddy Bard walking back into my life, when I finally had everything together, felt like a prank by the universe. My first male crush, but instead of being brave enough to admit that back in high school, I was the stereotypical repressed bully. No excuses but believe me when I say I’ve paid for those mistakes.
In college, an injured rotator cuff ruined my dreams of playing pro ball. I turned to drugs. Drinking. Hookups. Knockout Gym saved my life. I’ve been the bookkeeper and a trainer there for years now and helped a lot of people, but helping Fred after all I did to him would mean more than any of it.

My best friend’s brother has to pretend to be my boyfriend—how could this possibly backfire?
When I need a date for my cousin Omar’s wedding, I don’t even think of asking my best friend’s brother. Johnny Shiba—my hot as sin, teenage gay awakening—has been gone for years. But now he’s moved back in with his brother and me, and, no, he hasn’t gotten less hot.
Being in close quarters with him, my decade-long crush only burns brighter. We can’t cross that line because I could never betray my bestie—not that Johnny has any interest in me.
When he agrees to be my fake boyfriend for a weekend, it’s just a friend thing, right? And when we meet my career idol and he adores our fake relationship, Johnny helps me cement the charade. Kissing, holding each other, and telling me how attractive he finds me are all parts of the bluff.
Our heated moments and intimate touches could never mean anything. And if we roll in the sheets for fun, surely that’s all part of the lying game. I can hold my real feelings at bay, keep my best friend happy, and prevent career humiliation—I have to.
Strategy and card games have always been easy for me. But this might be one bluff check I won’t be able to pass for long.

My butler hid the evidence with dark magic, but now I need regular intimacy with a mage to empty me before everyone discovers my shameful secret.
It is a good thing my butler is so obliging.
