Marcello Donati
I’m 42, have ADHD and live with my mum. I’ve had the same job for twenty years and my love life is non-existent. I feel like I’m going nowhere fast. But that would be a lie because I don’t do anything quickly, other than running for the Tube in the morning after I sleep in. Something’s got to change, so when my colleague suggests I do a triathlon, I stupidly agree. Motivation is something I struggle with so it’s a no brainer when vague associate, and super stylish, super buff, super confident Giles offers to be my training buddy. That is until spending time with Giles and his muscles and dancing moustache and short shorts starts to make me question if I’m as straight as I thought I was… or possibly having the most ridiculous mid-life crisis.
Giles Rivers
When I stopped having casual sex six months ago I did it so I could create space to meet somebody who will want to spend more than a few nights with me. This is what I do when things aren’t going how I want them to; I take control. I did not do it so I could develop feelings for the straight guy who works down the road. But that’s exactly what happens when Marcello and I start training together. He’s funny, kind, and vulnerable in ways I’m not used to. So when he asks for me to show him the ropes when it comes to queer sex, I shouldn’t agree, especially because it’s because of a Speedos-wearing man at his swimming training. And yet, I do agree. I agree and I quickly discover that Marcello is warm and generous in so many other ways and I start to fall, hard. Just when I start to contemplate telling Marcello how I really feel, he discovers my dirty little secret and everything starts to unravel, including myself…

Zeke Hanson hunts things that go bump in the night. He grew up traveling the country with his dad, who taught Zeke everything he knew. Until his murder forced Zeke into foster care for his remaining teenage years. Outgoing and with an easy charm, Zeke keeps his emotions safely hidden. Especially his ever-deepening love for his foster brother/bestie.
Ian Clark is a smart, intuitive young man with his own tragic past. He’s adored Zeke from their first night as roommates. Zeke’s warmth and kindness made the foster home feel safe. But his feelings for Zeke have grown from admiration and friendship into intense physical yearning.
When Ian witnesses the murder of their foster sister, his plans for community college go on indefinite hold. Instead, he joins Zeke on his hunting travels. They may not be able to stop human monsters, but they can fight the supernatural ones. Spending time together and dealing with dangerous situations deepens their bond, making their secret feelings nearly impossible to contain. The risk of rejection and abandonment is scarier than any monster. But when Zeke’s life is at risk, Ian must make a choice.
Will they admit their love to one another or will it—and Zeke—perish?

Which makes his attraction to Tad Hawkins, the Sacramento cop who has been showing up to Guthrie’s weekend gigs, all the more dangerous.
Tad’s had troubles of his own, but he’s always felt loved. Trying to coax Guthrie, his snakebit guitarist, into his arms is an exercise in patience, but Tad has experience with that. His sister, April, is in addiction recovery. He can take it slow if it means he’ll get to keep some “Guthrie goodness” for himself.
But then Tad has an accident and Guthrie’s forced to take actions that leave his vulnerable heart exposed. Tad must fast-track his plans to gentle Guthrie in his life, and Guthrie needs to clear out the history holding him back.

BLURB:
It was supposed to be a straightforward protection job. Remove the target from Vermont, get him to the safehouse, keep him there until his mafia uncle testifies, get back in my employer’s good graces.
Boom, done. Easy.
But it turns out things get complicated real fast when your target is an adorkable, accident-prone cutie with a shockingly low sense of self-preservation, zero clue that he’s related to the Fromadgio crime boss, and 100% too much inclination to chat happily with strangers.
When Chris compromises our safehouse (and accidentally starts a “lowkey, unavoidable” bar fight), our only option is to go undercover… pretending to be campground hosts in Copper County, New York.
Make that married campground hosts. (Long story.)
Now I’m hiding out with a guy who’s obsessed with action-adventure shows and hand-knit sweaters, and whose most fearsome talent is arranging charcuterie boards, all of which is far less helpful in a gunfight than you might think.
And worst of all… the sweet little virgin I rescued is growing on me.
Somehow I find myself listening to his happy chatter when I should be watching the woods, trying to figure out how his mind works when I should be getting us out of this predicament, and appreciating the way he looks in my shirts when I should be focused on getting my career back on track.
But when the Fromadgios’ enemies finally find us, protecting Chris is no longer just a job. I’ll do anything to protect what’s mine… and there’s nothing pretend about it.

It’s not easy being someone’s fairy tale.
Leigh Hurley is making a name for himself among thieves and criminals, even if it isn’t the life he would have chosen. Screwing over the Moretti brothers, however, might be his worst call yet.
Sinking to the bottom of the river with weights on his ankles one minute, the next, Leigh finds himself on the riverbank, somehow having escaped certain death. All he remembers is a beautiful face and a soft kiss that he can’t be sure he didn’t hallucinate.
Then Tolomeo turns up naked at Leigh’s apartment.
Tolly comes from a race of killers – merfolk who drown and torment humans for fun. He alone is different, and when he sees a human in trouble, instead of letting him perish, Tolly offers a kiss, granting Leigh the ability to breathe underwater, and himself the ability to walk on land. At least until the next full moon.
The ancient laws state that if Tolly is given a vow of love by the one he kissed, he will be able to keep his legs. If not, he will be put to death when he returns to the water.
But love is not something Leigh offers easily, and Tolly has a secret of his own.

Then he meets Jackson and his heart stutters whenever the striking older man comes near. Thing is, Ayen can’t quite figure out what he has to offer a man like Jax.
When the program ends, will Jackson be able to set things in motion to right the wrongs of the justice system in Ayen’s case? Or will he be stuck waiting three more years for the man he’s fallen in love with?

The golden coin Raven offers is enough to settle Tony’s debts. And the way Raven takes what Tony gives him in return is enough for Tony to wish he’d offered himself for free.
But when the sun rises, Raven’s gone—along with the coin.

No rest for the wicked.
No justice for the damned.
New Mason City is home to the damned, the depraved, the most wicked of all sinners. Killian is no different. Assassin, prostitute, brother and son; he’s proven himself to be obedient and deadly when it comes to carrying out the orders of the man who raised him: the priest called Father.
Killian’s life is simple. Reliable. It consists of serving Father without fail, ensuring the compliance of the players in Father’s drug trafficking ring, and doing everything in his power to preserve his straining relationship with his adopted brother, Abraham.
But a perhaps less than chance encounter with a mysterious man called Hollow, calls into question everything Killian has ever believed. New memories of a childhood he can barely recall come to the surface, forcing him to question what’s true and what’s been planted in his mind by something stranger than fiction…magic.
Now, thrust into a frightening new reality, Killian must determine who to trust: the man who raised him, protected him, cared for him. Or the man who’s begun to haunt his dreams and fill his mind with visions of a past that terrifies him. Who claims to know the depths of his very soul.
When all parties are damned, can there truly be any justice?

Sometimes all you need to rise from the ashes is a little bit of hope.
Gage
While my entire life has been an endless string of mistakes and misfortune, burning down my bar—my livelihood—is definitely the worst and dumbest to date.
Okay, so I didn’t literally burn it down, but sticking my head in the sand and refusing to ask for help certainly didn’t keep this latest disaster away.
A stranger arrives in Hope just as I finally start rebuilding my life. His sweet innocence catches my eye from day one, stirring feelings I haven’t felt in, well, ever.
And even though he’s just a kid and I’m a hot mess bartender with nothing to offer, I won’t let that stand in my way. I flash him some of my trademark charm because, honestly, who wouldn’t want all this?
Ash
I’ve spent most of my life being mistreated by my mom and her partner. The final straw came when she refused my help yet again. I knew that if I didn’t leave right then, I’d end up just like her. The only solution I had was to leave my hometown to make a life for myself where nobody knew who I was. Sure, it meant leaving behind people I cared about, but I no longer had a choice.
One wrong turn later, I found myself in a quaint town called Hope Harbour, which housed a lighthouse, small-town gossips… and the biggest, most beautiful Greek god known to man.
All it took was one look at him for me to start questioning everything I’d ever thought about myself.
I know I’m just a broken kid from a small town, but maybe it’s time to start over with the charming bartender and see if we can’t set Hope on fire.

When the best night of your life ends in betrayal and the only one who can save you is your new mate…but everyone’s trying to stop him.
Forrest Carlisle, the middle son of a family of powerful witches, is close to breaking. With his older brother falling to the lure of dark magic and the resulting fallout that’s all but ruined his life, Forrest needs some time and space to heal from the emotional blows he’s suffered.
But fate has other plans. Before he can run off and hide, Forrest meets his fated mate, a powerful and sexy wolf shifter who makes his heart race. One dance and some hot kisses later, Forrest eagerly accepts his mate’s bite, binding their souls for eternity. But before he can start living his happy-ever-after, he’s betrayed by someone close to him and separated from his newly-bonded mate.
Desmond Alvarez, First Beta for the local wolf pack, couldn’t believe his eyes when his mate appeared in front of him and asked him to dance. By the time the first song is over, Desmond knows he’ll do whatever is necessary to keep his earth witch by his side forever.
Not wanting to take any chances of something messing up their mating, Desmond wastes no time claiming and marking Forrest, joining their souls for eternity. Yet, for all his precautions, Forrest is taken from him before the mating sweat on their bodies has time to dry.
But no one comes between a wolf and his mate. Not if they want to live.

Heaven has many rules for angels to follow, but one comes above all others.
Angels and demons cannot fall in love.
Micah
I’ve been alive for millennia and have yet to meet my fated mate. It’s not something I’ve ever cared about; my heart already belongs to another. Someone I can’t have. Someone who doesn’t want me.
Now I know we’ll never be together. Unlike me, he’s found his fated mates. Two of them.
That’s fine. As leader of the Seraphim, Heaven’s most elite unit of angels, I don’t have time for love.
Apparently fate has other ideas.
Meeting my mate on a battlefield outside Hell is surprising, to say the least. When you add in his uncanny resemblance to the man who broke my heart, it’s safe to say I’m far from pleased.
The fact that he’s a demon, my natural born enemy, is just icing on the cake of this is never going to happen. It’s a good thing I haven’t been banking on meeting my mate and living happily ever after, because there’s no way it’s happening with Nox.
It’s not like Nox wants me either. He hates me with a ferocity I’ve come to expect from his kind. The two of us never being together is the only thing we can agree on.
Still, there’s a pull between us that neither of us can ignore, no matter how much I wish we could. What starts out as hate sex, a way to try and burn off the intensity between us, quickly blossoms into something more. Something dangerous.
Something forbidden.

I have never in my life met anyone as infuriating as that dragon. So then why do I keep wanting to spend time with him?
Step One: Find a gorgeous guy. Check.
Step Two: Talk to said gorgeous guy. Check.
Step Three: Try not to strangle him. Uh… do I really have to check this one? Because I really want to wrap my fingers around his—ugh.
Garrick Von Stein is the most frustrating person I’ve ever met, and yet, as soon as he calls me for help, I jump right in. Every single time. Why? I have no idea. I mean, I really do like to look at the dragon shifter king, but that doesn’t explain this strange pull, this need, I feel to be near him.
He doesn’t even like me—believe me, I’d know—but for some reason he trusts me. And the weirdest thing of all? I trust him too.
Now if only we could find a way to work together to keep him and everyone else safe.

Jesse
After years of working my butt off, I’m finally living the life I always wanted. I have a job I love, friends who’ve become family, and I’m enjoying the freedom of being single.
Then Sebastian, my childhood rival, moves back to town and my perfect life is thrown into chaos. We’ve always hated each other, but now there’s something else between us. Something wild and primal, something that wants to make Sebastian submit as much as it wants to claim him.
Hooking up with the guy I hate is probably the stupidest thing I’ve done, and that’s saying a lot. But it’s hard to remember why it’s a bad idea when he’s the only person who’s ever made me lose control, and the only man I can’t stay away from.
Sebastian
Retiring from the music industry at twenty-five wasn’t in my long-term plans. Neither was moving home after being away for seven years. But here I am with a serious case of burnout and no idea what I want to do with the rest of my life.
I hoped that moving back would give me a chance to shed my public persona and just be Sebastian again, but that doesn’t seem to be happening any time soon.
The only thing in my life that makes sense is my old rivalry with Jesse, the guy I’ve hated since we were eight. Arguing with him is as exhilarating as it is familiar, and no one is more surprised than me when a fight leads to our first kiss, then more.
Jesse may be the most annoying person I’ve ever known, but the tension between us is too strong to ignore. I hate that I want him but love that he can’t stay away from me either.

Zach Glasser hunts ghosts…and sometimes they hunt him. He’s spent years sending the most dangerous spirits to rest, a task that’s left him with an empty bank account, an empty bed, and both feet in the grave.
So when his handler saddles him with a new recruit—Eugenio Morales, who’s learned all about ghost hunting…from books—Zach swallows his reservations and says yes. What’s a few days together in a cabin in the deeply haunted Western Maryland woods? Except Eugenio isn’t some stuffy academic; he’s a capable attentive student, who takes quickly to ghost hunting…and to Zach.
But ghosts don’t rest that easy. Soon they’re rattling the walls of the cabin, threatening Zach and Eugenio’s newfound romance. Zach has spent so long chasing death. Being with Eugenio gives him something to live for. If they can both survive the night.
Ordinary Ghosts
Alex Angelides doesn’t know how ghost-hunting equipment ended up in his library’s materials lending inventory. It doesn’t really matter: Alex’s job is to serve the community, just as he’s been doing for the last ten years, even if his days are spent on dull grant applications and painful community hearings and his nights are spent alone with books he’s too tired to read. Besides, there’s no such thing as ghosts or ghost hunters.
So when Jake Fischer, certified handsome annoyance, comes in dead set on borrowing ghost-hunting equipment, Alex has no opinion about that. Or on Jake’s inviting eyes or his supposedly untouchable skin. Or how he runs toward danger and entices Alex to follow—despite all of Alex’s gut instincts, which definitely aren’t premonitions, telling him not to. And when Jake limps in after a supposed ghost encounter and asks for Alex’s help on one last job, Alex knows he should say no. But something about Jake makes him want to risk it all. Including his own life.
