In the depths of the Tesera Mine, Oliver’s hope of finding Tau again fades with each passing day. Just as despair consumes him, his Sentinel returns, only a shadow of the mighty being he once was.

With no other choice, and a weakened Tau, Oliver traces the steps of his missing teammate to war-torn lands. He’s wholly unprepared to discover the toll exacted by mining for magic, and it’s worse than Oliver could have ever imagined. His hunger for revenge becomes a desperate need to put a stop to the atrocities committed, even if it means forming an alliance with an adversary.
In a sea teeming with horrors and growing distrust among his friends, Oliver and Tau find solace only in each other’s embrace.

BLURB:
Rhys
My life hasn’t turned out the way I wanted it to.
Because of one stupid stunt by a kid I used to care about, I’m now slinging cocktails in a Miami club instead of getting my degree. In a split second, Everest Hill ruined my future, and I’m too jaded to ever move past it.
Only Elton—my best friend and his brother—connects us, but thankfully, Everest has made himself irrelevant in the last four years.
Until now.
When Elton heads off on a summer European adventure, I’m forced to babysit his little brother through his first semester in college, but I’d rather eat shattered glass than be a shoulder for him to lean on.
All the things I used to admire about Everest are tainted. He’s nothing more than a nuisance, a reminder that I’m going nowhere with my life, and when he starts to push my buttons? I prove that I can bite back.
We become trapped in a twisted game of loathing, always trying to one-up the other, never satisfied until one of us is crowned the winner.
But when I start to see the vulnerabilities that lie underneath his skin, the truth behind the facade, I can’t help but cave to the side of me I thought I buried.
Because Everest is not only mine to hate—
He’s mine to keep.

RELEASE DATE: 9/17/2024
BLURB:
Tam Becket has hated Lord Lyford since they were boys. The fact that he’s also been sleeping with the man for the last ten years is irrelevant.
When they were both nine years old, Lyford smashed Tam’s entry into the village’s vegetable competition. Nearly twenty years later, Tam hasn’t forgiven him. No one understands how deeply he was hurt that day, how it set a pattern of disappointments and small misfortunes that would run through the rest of his life. Now Tam has reconciled himself to the fact that love and affection are for other people, that the gods don’t care and won’t answer any of his prayers (not even the one about afflicting Lyford with a case of flesh-eating spiders to chew off his privates), and that life is inherently mundane, joyless, and drab.
And then, the very last straw: Tam discovers that Lyford (of all people!) bears the divine favor of Angarat, the goddess Tam feels most betrayed and abandoned by. In his hurt and anger, Tam packs up and prepares to leave the village for good.
But the journey doesn’t take him far, and Tam soon finds himself set on a quest for the most difficult of all possible prizes: Self care, forgiveness, a second chance… and somehow the unbelievably precious knowledge that there is at least one person who loves Tam for exactly who he is—and always has.

BLURB:
Good fences do NOT make good neighbors, especially when that neighbor is a city boy with more dollars than sense.
Emery McAvoy is a walking disaster who should never be allowed to step foot on another ladder. Heck, I’d bet my favorite Golden Girls T-shirt that he rearranged his entire life because his ten-year-old daughter likes ponies.
It’s rather inconvenient, then, that he’s one of the hottest, sweetest men I’ve ever met. I regret looking him up on that dating app because now I have photographic evidence that he’s exactly my type.
Not that I’d ever fall for the city boy next door.

BLURB:
Running from my past seemed like a good idea at the time. Too bad it’s about to catch up to me.
Fending off murderous mages isn’t exactly at the top of my ideal to-do list, but when they start flinging spells at our vampires, I’m the only one equipped to fight back. Doesn’t matter that I’m out of magical shape—I’m going to have to fall back on all my training to keep Adam, the vampire I care way too much about, safe.
That’s the least of it. Adam’s ever-present smile might have me weak in the knees, but when my best friend’s younger brother, Drew, arrives, I’m thrown for another loop. The big, sweet wolf is clearly running from something, and he has no idea the lengths I’ll go to protect him, too.
Turns out it’s not just me. Adam’s as drawn to Drew as I am, and though I’m willing to step aside and let them have each other, he floats a different idea. What about the three of us? An impossible thought, especially when the truth comes out and the spectre of my biggest regret returns to haunt me in a very real, very lethal way.
As if I have time to dwell on all that. The three of us are targets, our enemies closing in on every side. And as danger looms, I come face-to-face with the one question I’d hoped never to have to answer again: How far will I go to protect—or avenge—the people I love?

Magic isn’t so easy to hide away from, however.
Drawn back to his hometown, Lorin finds himself tangled up with the one thing he was trying to avoid above all else. A familiar. And this familiar proves to be so much more than he could ever expect.

Is love even enough?
“The first time Alberto watched a revenge flick, he was so mesmerised; he discovered something about himself: if the retaliation in the second half of the movie was satisfactory enough, there was no amount of abuse he couldn’t stomach in the first half.
Catharsis, he found out it was called.
Alberto was fond of that word.
Catharsis.”
After spending the Christmas holidays together, Mathias and Alberto return to school disenchanted, and convinced of the other’s indifference. When they both find themselves in detention, they decide to skip school together, consequences be damned. But as they are inexorably pulled toward each other, their personal demons are working their hardest to keep them apart. For good.

I don’t like him.
Reed Chambers reminds me of every guy who was ever a jerk to me. With his drop dead good looks and overly confident stroll. A smile that seems like it always has two meanings.
But since we’re stuck together working on an indie horror movie that is my brother’s entire life’s passion, not to mention that the guy is my best friend’s new fling, I guess I should give him a chance.
The thing is… I don’t want to.
So I don’t pull my punches.
Neither does he, his eyes narrowing, those perfect cheekbones hardening.
We bicker. We banter. We sit across from each other at the diner and throw jabs over script notes and storyboards. But somehow, despite that, I start to figure out who he really is.
And who he pretends to be.
Getting locked in the basement of the abandoned hotel where we’re filming is the last thing either of us want.
We’re caught in the dark. Alone. Only the circles of our flashlights to see. Our words drop into whispers as he leans in closer, warmth brushing my forearm. A spark flutters in my chest. His breath catches.
And the only thing I can think is, “Oh, crap.”

Ethan Bennett plays guitar, barbecues as often as possible, and owns a diner. He’s a widower whose life still revolves around his sons, but he wouldn’t have it any other way. When Mickey, a younger man his son Taylor had been helping shows up at the diner, cold to the bone, thin as a rail, Ethan knows he can’t send him away. He expects to help Mickey out for a while, what he doesn’t expect is the way the quiet younger man occupies his every waking moment.
Mickey Underwood has had it rough. All he’s got to show for his twenty-five years on the planet is a high school diploma, no relationship with his parents, and a long list of regrets. If it weren’t for Ethan, Mickey would still be homeless, or probably dead. He knows that as sure as he knows he’s never made a good decision in his life. He should take off and forget about Ethan Bennett, his guitar, and his raspy voice. But he can’t make himself leave and he can’t make himself stop feeling things for Ethan.
Forced to face his feelings for Mickey, Ethan must also deal with the fact that he never came out as bisexual. He’d been happy in his marriage to Sarah, and after her death, he was too busy raising their kids. Even when his boys were all grown up, Ethan still didn’t have a lot of interest in dating. So why does he want to dust off his heart for Mickey? He doesn’t doubt his sons will support his sexuality, but will they be happy that he’s found love with someone their age?

You know what’s the worst feeling in the world? Being in love with someone since you were twelve years old, knowing they only see you as a little brother type.
Not even becoming an NHL star has made him realize I’m all grown up now.
All of that changes when I ask my brother’s best friend to ref a charity match and we spend an entire week in each other’s pocket.
Being close to him is torture, but for the first time since my adolescent crush started, I begin to feel hope. I swear Knox looks at me the same way I look at him. Or so I think. When I throw myself at him and get utterly rejected, I never want to see him again.
Yet, shaking him is impossible, because he and Connor are always around, and my older brother is suffocatingly protective. Every time I look at Knox, I’m reminded of how he turned me down.

When Kai “The Train” Reinhart, star defensive end for the Miami Cyclones, tells his teammate that he has a crush on Sterling Grayson, it’s just a joke. A drunken slip of the tongue, if you will. An innocent comment turns into the biggest adventure (or headache?) of Kai’s life when he gets a call from Sterling’s personal assistant’s assistant, asking if he wants to get on a private jet and fly out and meet Sterling in person.
It’s more than a little crazy, because Sterling Grayson isn’t just a hot guy—he’s a superstar. A superstar with a legion of crazy, obsessed fans (the #Graylings), a staff the size of an army, zero privacy, and a world tour that’s keeping him just slightly busy. Wherever Sterling goes, he ignites a firestorm of publicity. From the sun-drenched seaside of Miami to the Cliff Walk in Newport, from Los Angeles to London, the paparazzi are never more than a few clever steps behind.
As Kai navigates complicated personal drama on and off the field, he also has to contend with the less-savory realities of being Sterling Grayson’s significant other, like homophobic protesters, jealous teammates, and the pervasive worry that maybe Sterling’s deepest feelings are hidden behind way too many walls to overcome. Kai may be “football famous,” but he’s a fairly normal guy. Down-to-earth, loves his family. Loves his privacy. Loving Sterling might mean giving that last one up completely.
Over the course of a year, Kai’s going to learn how to woo the complicated man behind the mega-star. Or, at the very least, he’s going to learn the subtle, but explosive art of creating a media sensation.

To make matters worse, someone from his past appears and forces him to relive the worst moments of his painful past before he could barely begin to process his loss.
Why Wilder “Cav” Cavanaugh attended Warden Jaymes’ funeral, he couldn’t logically answer. He’d been compelled to come, memories of a single heat spent with Wynter urging him there. A skeptic, he’d never believed in the fated mate bullshit, yet one look at Wynter and he’d been done for. He’d been ready to run away with his omega and start a new life.
He’d thought his omega had felt the same, but he’d been dead wrong. Losing Wynter nearly broke him, yet there he was at that funeral, ready to pick up the pieces and beg for the scraps of his omega’s love. When he finds his carbon copy at his omega’s side—a young man who called another father for over three decades—the treachery magnifies the simmering anger he’s held on to since being forsaken all those years before.
Wynter is forced to face Cav and the son they made that heat—and expose deep family secrets that threaten to destroy the Jaymes clan.

Tanner LaBrie—aka Fossie to his teammates—is feeling every bit of his thirty-eight years. His shoulder aches when it’s cold, his arms need to be longer to see the crossword puzzle app on his phone, and his knees are incredibly unhappy about the abuse they’ve taken. During one of the final games of the regular season, one of his weary joints decides to give way. The need for surgery is not a surprising one for Tanner. He’s been putting it off for years, but escaping the knife is not an option now. Post-surgery rehab is a son-of-a-gun, but if Tanner is anything, it’s stubborn. Just ask any of his ex-boyfriends. So when his therapist suggests finding a local yoga group, he scoffs at first. Unsure of how he would fit in with the gals in leotards, he nonetheless signs up for a class at his local gym where the teacher is not at all the person listed on the signup form. Not that Fossie is complaining when Keyshaun Williams, the enigmatic and sexy gym owner, shows up with a floral exercise mat, some whale song CDs, and a smile that nearly erases how out of place the defenseman feels.
Keyshaun Williams is living the life he has always dreamed of…for the most part. His new business is a huge success, his family is happy and healthy, and his sister—the only somewhat straight triplet—is a few weeks away from giving birth to twins while his brother is about to open a franchise of Williams Wellness in Buffalo. Yep, life is looking pretty darn great for the former Army dietician/Golden Gloves boxer. Great aside from the quiet house he goes home to every night. Being a few years on the other side of thirty has him seeking someone to settle down with, raise a family, maybe adopt some dogs or raise some goats. Heck, maybe dogs and goats. A man could dream, right? And yes, dreamy would describe the towering, mature, stunningly attractive D-man for the local hockey team who has, it seems, signed up for a senior yoga class that Keyshaun is leading as his sister nests and eats far too many chocolate-covered jalapenos. Tanner LaBrie ticks all his boxes as well as a few he didn’t even know he had. Maybe those long looks the hockey player has been shooting his way for months means Tanner is interested in more than achieving the perfect camel pose?
