Not every elf is destined to leave the workshop. But when Evan finally does, he realizes he’s never going back.
Evan loves working in Santa’s workshop. It’s an honor and a privilege to create the toys that bring so much joy to children around the globe. But as a workshop elf, he doesn’t get out much. And that means he’ll probably never find a mate.
Alpha wolf Holden moved to Joyville because the tiny mountain town provides him and his wolf all the peace and privacy they need. It can be lonely at times, but he’s content only having to head into town as needed for supplies.
When Evan hears about a town called Joyville that doesn’t have an elf assigned to monitor it, he makes a quick change to the travel roster and sneaks out for the trip of a lifetime. But it takes more than determination and faith to follow the pull in his gut that tells him he’s meant to be there.

Everything is going great until one morning, Fer finds a baby in his kitchen. And not just any baby—his brother Chuy’s infant daughter. With Chuy nowhere to be found, Fer finds himself back in the role of caregiver.
Determined not to let the new arrival disrupt his plans, Fer hires a manny to help him, and he gets more than he bargained for. Zé is sweet, patient, and…hot. Which is definitely not something Fer was prepared to deal with. Worse, Zé seems determined to show Fer that simpler isn’t necessarily better, and that there are some things in life worth fighting for. But for Fer, saying yes to Zé might mean saying no to his family—and Fer has never said no to his family.

Unfortunately for Aaron, Casey’s determined to do anything to win Raquel back.

To make that happen Kris needs to win the Race, his grade’s annual competition to see who can get a guest to fall in love with them first. Winning means a trip to New York, where Kris would be able to plead his uncle’s case to the founder of Winter Wonderland himself.
After some slippery ice sends Aaron and Kris literally flopping into each other, Kris agrees to help Aaron with his plan to keep Casey single. But in all their scheming, both can’t stop thinking about kissing the other, and it’s not just because of the mistletoe around every corner.

Holiday tales, retold queerly…
A silk hat turns snow into life and a chance at love for a man with little hope of either. Two men with a connection sparked in passing attempt to withstand everything the tumultuous Toronto of 1981 throws their way, with their only remaining hope being Christmas Eve itself. A much-maligned queen of the snow teaches a young boy how to use his magic to find others of his kind. And a reindeer shines a light of its own, and with the help of the daughter of Father Time, brings gifts—and hope—to all those usually left behind.
Holiday magic connects these tales and more—tales heard and seen and sung before, familiar and joyous, or tender and bittersweet—all to the last told upon the midnight queer.

I’ve loved him since I met him. Can a not-so-chance reunion give us a second chance?
Julian
The second I met Cameron, I knew I loved him. But when our moms started dating, it complicated things. For a while, it looked like we might become step-brothers.
Years later, our moms have broken up, and Cameron has moved across the country. But when work sends me to his city, it serves as a harsh reminder that Cameron blames me for all his hardships in his younger years.
I’ve been living life as a carefree playboy, but I’d give it all up for Cam — if only he’d let me.

Dad leaving was bad. Julian nearly becoming my step-brother was so, so much worse.

He hurt my mother’s chance at happiness many years ago, and I’ve never forgiven him for that. Yet the Julian who strolls back into my life isn’t the jerk I remember from my youth. Can I trust this change? Or will I open myself up only to experience the same old Julian all over again? There’s only one way to find out, but I’m terrified to try.

Faking a relationship with him was supposed to fix everything. Falling for him might break me.
Brixton
My life has always been about pushing limits, but this time, I pushed too far. So when a PR nightmare threatens my band’s reputation, the perfect solution is standing right in front of me—Sam Hartley, the NFL’s golden boy and star tight end who has no patience for my brand of chaos. He’s clean-cut, radiates perfection, and follows every rule.
We agree to fake a relationship for the cameras, convincing the world we’re madly in love while we can’t stand each other behind closed doors. The rules are simple: no strings, no emotions, and definitely no falling for each other.
The problem?
Sam isn’t just a game I can win; he’s a challenge that makes me question every line I’ve drawn. Each fake smile and staged touch feels like a battle, but behind the cameras, the tension between us is raw and real. As time passes, the act starts to crack, and the line between hate and desire blurs.
But when our lies become truth, I know letting him in could be my biggest risk yet.
Will playing pretend cost me the only real thing I’ve ever wanted?
Sam
Being a star athlete comes with rules, and I’ve spent my career following them. Brixton Scott? He breaks every single one. So when our PR teams propose a fake relationship for the sake of both our images, I should have said no. He’s reckless, unpredictable, and seems to enjoy making my life difficult.
Now we’re both stuck in this arrangement, forced to convince everyone we’re the real deal. But off-camera, every exchange feels like a battle I’m determined not to lose and every second with him tests my patience—and my rules. It’s messy, it’s complicated, and it’s becoming dangerously real.
But just as I’m starting to believe in the illusion we’ve created, the past comes crashing in, threatening to expose the truth neither of us is ready to face.
Is the risk worth it when falling for him could be the biggest mistake of all?

Orestes father was killed, his clan dissolved, and now, it’s snowing, which is the worst affront of all.
The last scion of the ended Eagle clan, Orestes is sent to frigid Urial to negotiate peace with King Albany, but the sitting monarch has no interest in him, and his son, Prince Tybalt, has too much.
For all his life, Tybalt has been a disappointment to his father and an embarrassment to any lord in Urial with a sense of decorum. Quick-witted and sharp-tongued, Tybalt thrives in indecency, and the new Nemedan diplomat provides the perfect opportunity to astonish court. When his father casts him aside for a new wife and heir, he is determined to take the mammoth of a man to bed. After all, any attention is better than none, even if it comes alongside horrified gasps.
With nothing to anchor him to Urial, Orestes is all too happy to let the prince use him in his play for revenge, but unexpected affection lurks just behind the prince’s roguish smirk. Anything more than a tumble between them is forbidden, dangerous, deadly—but letting the last Eagle sink his claws into him is a risk Tybalt can’t help taking, even if it changes Urial forever.

All I wanted for Christmas was my daddy.
Last year I was a good boy. Daddy said not to open any presents until he got there, and I didn’t. I spent all day looking at the tree, waiting patiently. Only Daddy never came. I feared the worst—scared that something horrible happened to him.
How foolish I’d been. Daddy wasn’t in a car accident or one of the fifty million other scenarios I played out in my head. Nope. He was with his other boy, planning a New Year’s Eve wedding.
This year I’m doing Christmas on my own. I’m buying my own presents, decorating my own tree, and playing with my own toys…alone. At least that’s the plan until my new neighbor gets my package and discovers we have more in common than a shared driveway.

He hasn’t seen me in two years, works sixty hours a week, and just watched his third marriage crumble.
When not one, but two men (and an adorable little girl) arrive at my front door, both saying I signed up for them on an app, it had my brother’s name written all over it. A text from him telling me I hope I liked my Christmas present confirmed it.
I’d send them all on their way, but there are a few problems with that plan:
* The two alphas are hotter than hot
* The little girl asked me if this was her new home, and there is no one on this planet who could turn down her sweet smile
* A blizzard is just about to hit
I guess I have some company for Christmas and maybe…just maybe…forever.

Nico
Have you ever fallen in love with a man as he was pointing his gun at you? Well, I have. Tiny problem? I’m in the middle of my murderous Christmas tradition, and he’s a witness.
But it’s not his fault I got too excited and didn’t check if I was alone. I can’t just kill him because of my own blunder. Not when he has such dreamy green eyes filled with fear and pent-up rage.
What I can do is take him with me for safekeeping while I work out how to make him understand that while my methods are cruel, my intentions are pure.
Or how to make him fall for me.
Whichever is first.
Blake
My eighteenth birthday was supposed to be the happiest day of my sheltered life. Finally, I would gain independence and inherit half my family fortune. Instead, I ended up kidnapped.
I was about to get carved into pieces when… a Christmas miracle in the form of a beefy homicidal maniac saved me.
Only now I’m trapped in his basement and getting love bombed by a psycho golden retriever. He eats turkey sandwiches for every breakfast, enjoys making festive ornaments out of human teeth, and lets his violent urges shine like a Christmas tree.
I shouldn’t find him hot.
I shouldn’t want to indulge his murderous tendencies.
And I definitely shouldn’t want him to be my first.
But I’m being hunted and might just need a monster to keep me safe.

My daughter’s thrilled and we’re all packed and ready to go when our flight is canceled. Hopefully, the guy borrowing our house will understand when he sees us using the guest cabin. It’s rustic and poorly insulated, but a deal is a deal. We’ll make it work.

BLURB:
Simon’s been in Hermanton since he was two and never really felt like he fit in. He loves building miniatures, but it’s not exactly conducive to getting a second date. When most guys hear that he builds model trains and paints tiny figurines for entertainment, that tends to land him right in a ghosted inbox. But that’s okay. He still has his day job as a ranger for the national park nearby. And since turning forty, he’s had enough salt and pepper in his beard to shove a pillow down his shirt and play Santa in the off season. In fact, his buddies at The Lactin Brotherhood talk him into doing just that.
If only Santa could get a little package under the tree for himself.
Cal just moved to Hermanton from out of town as the local nursing home’s activities director. He’d been doing the job remotely for some time already, but the cost of living and meeting students face to face seemed like a great change of pace. Coupled with the fact that his boyfriend dumped him for a ‘newer model,’ it was an easy decision. Unfortunately, an unexpected bill necessitates a part time job as an elf for the hottest Santa he’s ever seen.
Too bad he’s too old to sit on Santa’s lap and make a wish.

BLURB:
Kane Ramirez is just trying to get through the day. Every day.
Being diagnosed with clinical depression at age nine wasn’t easy, but with the help of his amazing ex-wife Clara, he tries hard to focus on the good things in life. The whimsical bookstore he owns, the adorable coastal town it lives in, and the dog he didn’t want, but now can’t live without.
Even though life is looking up for Kane, he still feels down. So when his favorite author’s assistant reaches out about doing a signing at his store, he gleefully, and anxiously, accepts, knowing that it’s up to him to make the most of life. Unbeknownst to Kane, he’s actually met his favorite author before. In fact, he’s even dated him.
Marcus Fraund lives behind his pen name, Carsten V. Lovett. Not because he’s ashamed of who he really is, but because he hates the past that’s associated with it. Reading his passionate and erotic queer books, you’d think he’s always been proud of his identity, but that couldn’t be further from the truth. At forty-three years old, Marcus is still hung up on the man he left behind twenty years ago, all because he was afraid to love freely.
What starts as an uncomfortable reunion turns into a weekend of emotional nostalgia for Kane and Marcus. As the pair reenact the summer they spent together so long ago, they realize that love doesn’t have to be linear, so long as it’s well written.
