TITLE: Guided by the Wind

AUTHOR: Leona Bentley

PUBLISHER: Riptide Publishing

LENGTH: 359

RELEASE DATE: 1/15/2024

BLURB:

A path through hell is their only way toward a future together.

Star leads a dangerous life. Beneath the brutal sun, he helps his father, Ty, guide settlers through the harshest lands. Those who survive the monsters, bandits, and other omnipresent threats often succumb to the elements. Star has his own demons to worry about—ones from his past that he’s never been able to outride—but so long as he has Ty and the wind at his back, he’s content.

Damien Sole is a wanted man. His ragtag family of outlaws is on the run from bounty hunters who would as happily kill them as arrest them, and they’re in need of a guide. Star doesn’t look like much—with his slim build and cat-like features—but there’s ferocity in his sharp green eyes that Damien can’t resist. What starts as a spark of lust between the two men flares into an inferno.

As ancient secrets surface, they bring new enemies with them. Men like Damien and Star don’t die old in their beds, and they don’t get a happy ever after. With everything against them, nothing will come easy. Especially not love.

SERIES: Wings over Albion #1

PUBLISHER: Self Published

LENGTH: 230

RELEASE DATE: 1/15/2024

BLURB:

Dragons aren’t real. Or so I used to think.

Oxford isn’t exactly what I’d imagined. Sure, the colleges are romantic, and everyone is brilliant enough to trigger my impostor syndrome. I expected that.

The dragon, however, was a big surprise.

I saw him on my first day. The beautiful beast spoke to me, then disappeared. I’ve been looking for him ever since.

When I’m not on a wild dragon chase, I spend my time in the library. I’d like to think I’m only there to study, but who am I kidding?

I’m there for him.

Rufus Mortimer is the world’s hottest librarian. He’s strict, enigmatic, and sexy. He makes me feel things I’ve never felt before.

But he has a secret. One that could destroy everything.

So now, all I have to do is find a dragon, earn my doctorate, and try to not to let my new romance burn my life to the ground. Easy, right?

I wish…

TITLE: Legend

AUTHOR: Marie Reynard

SERIES: MateHub/Elemental Bonds

PUBLISHER: Self Published

LENGTH: 343

RELEASE DATE: 1/15/2024

BLURB:

The contract was simple: three months, seven scenes, zero feelings. Following it was not.

Richard Knotz is a legend in the world of supernatural adult entertainment, and he knows it. While most paranormal adult actors shy away from the temporary bonds needed to perform knotting scenes, he’s made them his brand. Bonding a human could never threaten to tear his empire to the ground, no matter how tempting that human smells.

Hunter Savage thinks Richard Knotz is a smug son of a wolf, but when he’s offered a contract to work with him, the payout is too lucrative to say no. Three months bonded to Richard could make his entire career. He just doesn’t expect to find a soft side under Richard’s prickly exterior, or for the apartment they’re forced to share to start feeling like home.

The bonding contract is easy and painless as long as they remember one cardinal rule: don’t get attached. Their employer has no use for unprofessional fools who let feelings jeopardize profits. But in between filming scorching scenes with ridiculous scenarios, they discover they’re more compatible than either could have imagined.

As their limited time together winds down, they face a choice—risk their careers for the unexpected connection they’ve found, or lose their bond forever.

AUTHOR: Sky McCoy

RELEASE DATE: 1/15/2024

BLURB:

Romeo

“You’d think I’d know better than to leave with a man who sent shivers down my spine, not in a good way, especially after I’d been warned by Dante who wore a seductive scowl and said in no uncertain terms, ‘Don’t go with him. Run before it’s too late.’

After being warned by his brother, who wore a sexy drop to your knees scowl and barked at me to run, I still ended up leaving with Nico, a man known to be a mafia boss. Reflecting on my own stupidity, I should have listened to Dante, but my fascination with him clouded my decision. All I wanted was to be near him, so when Nico’s offer gave me a chance to be near Dante, I took it without caution.”

TITLE: Can I Trust You?

AUTHOR: Romeo Alexander

PUBLISHER: Self Published

LENGTH: 381

RELEASE DATE: 1/15/2024

BLURB:

Trust takes years to build but seconds to shatter.

I haven’t seen Leon since we aged out of the system and lost touch, but all my old feelings come rushing back. He’s the ghost of my past, the crush I buried deep because he was straight—or so I thought.

Why am I entertaining thoughts of my hot ex-best friend at our foster Mom’s funeral? Jeez, we just have to get through today and go our separate ways – again. I can do that.

Then, lightning strikes…Leon is NOT straight! What?

Lightning never strikes twice, right? Wrong! Strike two is a real passion killer…literally.

Desire turns dangerous when I discover Leon’s new role—a mercenary for The Company, and I’m his next target. I’m just a computer nerd caught in the crosshairs, but I have dangerous secrets of my own.

When a twist of fate turns the hunter into my protector, trust becomes a weapon and a lifeline. Can I trust the man who’s supposed to be my enemy?

Trust? A casualty of our twisted reality because now, we’re on the run. I can’t see how both of us can survive, but…I have a plan.

I’ll put my trust in Leon, but if he fails me…I’m dead.

Trust becomes a dangerous game, hearts are on the line, and survival is anything but certain. Can the bond we forged years ago survive the secrets now tearing us apart?

University is a strange experience, but I’ve managed to make it as weird as possible by accidentally befriending a flock of crows that like to hang out on campus. Anyone would have started feeding them if they knew how vengeful crows can be. I was worried about getting pooped on! I wasn’t going to find myself an enemy of the birds, but now I’m more like a friend. Ok, it might be more serious than that, but they’re the only creatures I can talk to about the professor on campus that I might have a teeny, tiny, itty bitty crush on, and they’re only a little judgmental about it.

“Yes, I did help you even though you ignored my request when I was in far greater need.” A muscle twitched in Aurelius’s cheek, and he slowly turned his head to watch Jari as he passed. “You did nothing and acted as if I hadn’t spoken. Did you think I’d forgotten your face in the past six years?”

Jari would prefer to leave certain things in the past even though they haunt him in the present. It wasn’t his fault, and he hadn’t been given a choice, but Aurelius Midas, the Crown Prince of Nova, still holds a grudge six years later.

With no other choice, Jari vows to stay and guard the Crown Prince. Someone has infiltrated the court, killed two people, and poisoned a third. The mad King Eurig does nothing about it, and with another Kingdom threatening them, things grow more dire.

Jari’s not like his Father, and he’ll keep his word. Aurelius is cruel, vicious, and as cold as the dagger that took his eye after birth, but he’s alone in a den full of snakes and cursed by events that happened long before his birth.

Lee Warner brings a dark past with him, but he’s sober, hungry, and willing to try just about anything if it will bring him a sense of purpose and renew his energy. Walking into that tavern was meant to be nothing more than a chance for opportunity, but that was before Lee got a good look at Scott. With hair the color of a sunset and a nervous energy to match it, Scott is revitalizing Lee in ways Lee never expected.

That seems to be contagious energy, however, and as Scott is as straight as they come, he can’t understand why Lee is awakening feelings in him. Or how to turn those feelings off.

BLURB:

Sometimes the wrong number is the exact one you need.

I never leave my phone on at night. If people need to get a hold of me, they can wait until morning. Except tonight I fell asleep watching a movie and am ripped awake by my phone ringing. I answer it seconds too late, and when I hang up, there’s a voicemail for not me—the man on the other end of the line is sobbing and asking for a ride.

Calling back only tells me he borrowed a stranger’s phone. Without giving it a second’s thought, I grab my keys. I can’t leave him there, all alone and scared. Not when I can easily help. Only when I scent him for the first time, it’s not only help I want to give him—it’s everything. He’s my mate…my human mate. How does that even work?
