Collier’s Creek needs an emergency Santa. Why does it have to be the one man who hates Christmas?
Echo loves his life in Collier’s Creek. He’s the new bartender at Randy’s Rodeo Grill and Bar. He loves small-town life here. Even the sheriff is gay. When he’s asked to be Santa, of course he says yes. Echo lives his best life, and he loves it.
Dean is firmly in the closet. As the gay brother of the mayor of a small town, he hides away. Except this is Collier’s Creek. Half the men here are gay, and no one cares. But Dean lives in a halfway world of his own making, and he hates it.
Then Echo hurts his leg in an unfortunate collision with a small dog and the town scrambles for an emergency Santa. Who is going to take his place? Why does Collier’s Creek turn to Dean, the only man in the town who hates Christmas?
Echo may be hobbling on one foot, but he’s determined to make the sad man smile again. Whether Santa of the Creek likes it or not.

RELEASE DATE: 11/18/2024
BLURB:
In the time before America came to be, this land was occupied by native people, by tribes such as the Sioux, Blackfoot, and Cherokee. When the settlers invaded, it forced these people to defend their sacred land from European illegals encroaching.
In what is now western North Carolina, in the heart of the Cherokee Nation, lived a boy named Yona on the cusp of becoming a man. Led by spirits and visions, he falls in love with a settler named Henry, who has his own feelings and aspirations different from his father’s.
Together, they cross the boundaries of culture and tradition to pursue a forbidden relationship. However, when their villages and fathers discover their secret, can love stop an impending war?

BLURB:
When is a kidnap not a kidnap? When it’s a rescue.
Rudolf Bell does NOT need saving. But after the worst performance of his life, there are those who disagree. All he wants is to have a good time and forget everything for a while. Easier said than done when the media have done a hatchet job on him. His career’s not over, though. Not until he says so.
Arlo Thomas has never forgotten the classical pianist who looks more like a rock star, even if his documentary about the precocious talent never saw the light of day. Seeing Rudolf’s bad press spurs him to drastic action. It’s not kidnap if it’s a luxurious cabin and it’s for Rudolf’s own good. Right?
When a rekindled friendship turns to passion in the remote winter wonderland location, Arlo’s determination to resist Rudolf slowly crumbles. As the days pass, Rudolf may have to admit he did need saving, and that Arlo’s the perfect man to do it.
It’s a shame snow melts and all good things must come to an end before Christmas.

RELEASE DATE: 11/18/2024
BLURB:
Swipe left on the Big Bad Wolf!
Hugo is a successful London lawyer, fiercely driven, habitually short-tempered, scornful of all things Christmas—and also extremely miserable. Until recently, he was dating Davy, his cute and ultra-efficient PA. For Hugo—never very good at social interaction, let alone romance—it was a hot, exciting, and surprisingly loving time. But after a heated argument put them at odds, they’ve now reverted to a purely professional relationship. Alone, with the holiday season looming, Hugo is determined to cope with it all as a mature, professional man. He’s just not sure he’s succeeding.
Davy is also still reeling from the breakup with his grumpy boss. He’d been falling hard for Hugo’s clever wit and quiet charm, hidden under all that crankiness, and eagerly looking forward to spending Christmas with his lover—if he could only persuade Hugo to put up the appropriate decorations!—but it wasn’t to be. His PA job and his relationship with Hugo were the best things in his life, but the argument knocked both his pride and his confidence, and it’s far better now to concentrate solely on his career. He’s sure this is the right decision. Definitely. Probably.
A new dating app called HuntsMan seems promising to help him move on … but each date is worse than the last. What wandering eyes they have, what selective hearing they have—and, wait, is that guy actually trying to sniff Davy? When the final bad date with the sharp, shiny teeth turns out to be way too predatory for comfort, Davy realises how much he needs and misses Hugo.
Will there be a second chance for them both? More importantly, will it come in time to save Davy from the Big Bad Wolf?

BLURB:
Cam and Micah have been waiting for their mates for years, but they didn’t expect them to crash into their lives. Literally.
Cam
After roaming the world looking for our two mates, Micah and I returned home to Mistvale because we missed our family and clan. Of course, if we’d remembered Mistvale was Fate-blessed, we might have saved ourselves all that trouble.
Micah
Cam was excited to find our other mates, but I wasn’t ready. Fighting my insecurities wasn’t easy, but I tried to remind myself that Fate would never bond us with someone who wasn’t good for us, who didn’t accept us completely.
Ember
Whenever I imagined meeting my mate, I didn’t think I would do it by literally crashing into their backyard. I also didn’t expect to have not one but three amazing mates.
Kai
As if getting my coat stolen wasn’t bad enough, I almost drowned before I was rescued by three good-looking men who claimed to be my mates. Without my magic, I couldn’t tell if they were lying, but when they offered to help me get my coat back, I couldn’t say no.

BLURB:
Everything is better with a little extra sparkle and glitter.
I’m the glitter elf and I wear the badge with pride. Why shimmer a tiny bit when you can sparkle like a star lit sky? If only Santa agreed with me. I fill the workshop with glitter one too many times and he fires me from the only job I’ve ever known.
And it’s worse than that—I’m banished from the North Pole—doomed to live as a figurine unless I can find true love and all that other gobbly gook from fairy tales within a year.
Now I’m stuck living with a grumpy Christmas hating alpha. Only is it really stuck, if the hottie is my fated mate? Possibly. Walter is a certified Scrooge who prefers peace and quiet over festive chaos and has no idea that the elf figuring he chats with each evening is actually his new assistant, Shimmersnap. I may know he’s my fated, but he doesn’t feel the same.
Maybe glitter can fix it.

Hilliard Bauman’s life and his law practice are in Ohio, so when he inherits a home in California, his first instinct is to sell. Then again, his law partner is also his ex-partner, so maybe starting over wouldn’t be so bad. Either way, he needs someone to fix up the house first. That’s where Brian Mayer comes in.
Brian Mayer will do whatever work he can get, whether that means dog walking or painting fences. But in a small town where everyone knows everything about everyone, finding jobs can be difficult—especially if you’ve been wrongly convicted of theft. When Hilliard hires him to fix up his great-aunt’s place, it’s a relief on Brian’s strained bank account… but tests Brian’s heart to its limits.
As Hilliard digs into Brian’s case and the botched investigation of the original crime, things really start heating up—both between him and Brian and in what should’ve been a cold case. This time when cops try to lay the blame at Brian’s feet, he has Hilliard in his corner. Can they solve the mystery, put Brian’s past to rest, and find a new beginning together?

What happens when you love someone to pieces, but the puzzle doesn’t fit together?
Finn Owens, a bisexual graphic designer in a successful advertising firm, is bold, confident, and enjoying his single life. He’s busy making art, working out, puttering around his old yellow bungalow and dating…a lot. It’s fun and all, but he starts to think that maybe he’ll never find quite the right person. Until one day, Rory, nonbinary and beautiful, comes to work at his office. Petite, quiet, serene Rory is the opposite of big, muscly Finn in every way. But Finn is drawn to them, and, miraculously, Rory seems to feel the same way. One steamy kiss later at Finn’s Halloween party, they’ve fallen hard. The problem is, their lives don’t match—puzzle pieces that just won’t fit together. Finn is a messy painter, Rory is a tidy tech guru. Finn is estranged from his struggling family, and Rory sees theirs almost every weekend at large, elaborate gatherings. When Finn’s sister reaches out for help with her kids, Finn’s not sure he has what it takes. He can barely handle Rory’s big happy family, constantly together celebrating birthdays and holidays over champagne and chef-prepared dinners. Finn knows he doesn’t belong with them, and some people in Rory’s family agree. It’s clear that Finn and Rory just don’t fit. Can Finn snap their pieces together without losing his edges?

RELEASE DATE: 11/19/2024
BLURB:
Cole has come to BEAcon for one reason: the contest cup. He’s spent months knitting chainmail and perfecting his poses. With cosplay rivals to out compete and the chance to attend panels for his new favorite show, Cole can’t afford any distractions—especially not falling in love.
Milo, star of the viral breakaway TV show Dusk City, would rather be staked through the heart like the vampire he portrays than crammed into a convention center with thousands of fans. Sure, success is great—but not when the future of the show and your co-workers depend on him staying in the closet. The frenzied fan reaction is nothing short of overwhelming.
When Milo’s anxiety gets to be too much, Cole doesn’t hesitate to come to the rescue of his handsome TV crush. His unorthodox solution opens the doors to an unexpected—and undeniable—connection. Between signings, meltdowns, and the swirling microcosm of the huge fan convention, can Milo and Cole ever be in the same place at the same time again?
TITLE: Santa Daddy, I’m Not the One
AUTHOR: Gianni Holmes
PUBLISHER: Coco Nutz Publishing
LENGTH: 164
RELEASE DATE: 11/19/2024
BLURB:
If someone had told me Santa Claus was built like a lumberjack, was hung like a horse, and had a bag of toys for the adult persuasion, I would have found my Christmas spirit a long time ago.
Maybe it’s not too late.
Because of an elf’s mix-up, I find myself in the North Pole, where Santa Daddy immediately pegs me as one of the naughty ones. It turns out they wanted the Landon Gray on the Heart List, not the one from the Shadow Ledger.
Care to make a guess which I am?
My lack of holiday cheer can hardly be blamed for the wilting Christmas tree in the town square, but that doesn’t stop an angry mob from thinking I’ll be the ruin of Christmas this year. Luckily, Santa Daddy swoops in just in time to save me, making my heart swoon. Pretending to be into the festive season might just be worth it, especially if my hunch is right about Santa preferring his boys more naughty than nice.
However, it’ll take more than his impressive six-hundred-year-old “candy cane” to make me buy into the so-called magic of the season. I won’t lie, though—it’s one hell of a way to start.

Sure, he’s had a feast on that day, but it’s been salmon and truffles with his uncle, and once in a while, his parents. Jack and his family are determined to give Eli a ‘proper’ Thanksgiving like he’s been missing (turkey and potatoes and three kinds of pie), but when Mrs. Benson invites Eli’s family as well, the calm holiday Eli imagined suddenly has a bit more stress–whether they show up or not.
And Thanksgiving is only the start of the holiday season, with Christmas right around the corner.

BLURB:
All I want for Christmas … is anyone but him.
Benjamin
I warned my father this snowstorm was coming, but he insisted that I spend Christmas with him, his girlfriend and her insufferable son. Jett is everything I hate, a loud, brash, carefree partyboy who spends more time drinking at our college than studying.
Now I’m trapped with him.
The snowstorm I predicted blows in, and now it’s just me, Jett and this big empty house in the mountains of Colorado. Our parents won’t be able to reach us for days — if either of us are still alive by then. I swear Jett is doing everything possible to get on my last nerve.
Yet when push comes to shove and Jett needs my help, I race out into the snow to rescue him.
Jett
I might have screwed up.
I pissed off Ben by messing with him, then stormed off into a blizzard in sneakers and a hoodie. Getting frostbite is not my idea of a perfect Christmas.
But getting rescued by a hot guy could be.
It’s got to be the hypothermia talking, but when Ben comes out into that snowstorm to save me, then all but carries me into a bathtub, my body reacts like he’s not my worst enemy. If our parents get married some day, this could all get really messy really fast — too bad I’ve never been a person who operates on cold logic, like Ben. I follow my heart. And right now, my heart is telling me Ben is my Christmas miracle.

This Christmas, he’s hiding more than his identity…
Fresh from a life tangled with the Greek mob in LA, Adam Sgouros is starting over in witness protection—but he feels unmoored in his new small-town existence. When a sudden need to dispose of a body without drawing attention arises (Not his fault! He can explain!), Adam realizes his first Christmas in the sleepy, wintery little town of Silver Shoals is shaping up to be anything but merry.
Elijah Jensen has always been an optimist, but this year, even he’s struggling to keep his head above water. A head-cold from hell and a boat that’s falling apart at the seams seem determined to sink his holiday spirit, and all he wants is to get through the season without any more complications. Complications like a musclebound ex-gangster hijacking his boat (Accidentally! He can explain!)—and taking him along for the ride.
Stranded on the water by a snowstorm, this unlikely pair must navigate through a holiday filled with danger, unexpected warmth, and enough secrets to sink them both. Can Adam’s tough exterior thaw under the force of Eli’s unyielding optimism, or will the storm—and Adam’s past—prove too much to weather?

RELEASE DATE: 11/19/2024
BLURB:
My childhood friend. My biggest rival. The only man I’ve ever wanted.
If there were a prize for the most contented man in Copper County, I’d win it every time. I’ve got my business. My son. My family. My friends… and no romantic prospects, sure, but only because I don’t need any. My life’s great as it is. Seriously. Could not be better. I’m practically bleeding serenity over here.
At least until Jasper Wrigley shows up in Copper County after twenty years–as my son’s temporary hockey coach, no less, though the man could barely lace up his skates back in the day–and throws my carefully ordered life into chaos.
Once upon a time, magnetic, confident Jasper was my best friend and greatest rival, and his summer visits to town were the best part of my year. Our competitions were fierce. Our dares were thrilling. We talked about everything under the sun, and he made me believe in the possibility of a bright, hazy future somewhere just out of reach.
But then he left, and I grew up. Now the last thing I need is Jasper back in my space, provoking me, challenging me, and making me question… freaking everything.
Like whether my life’ss as perfect as I claim.
Like whether I’m as straight as I think.
Like whether there might be something better than “contentment” out there for me if I’m brave enough to look for it.
And whether the man who was always my greatest rival… might just be the love of my life.

I should hate him. But after learning the truth, how could I not fall for him?
Mason
My rookie season in the NHL started with a gut punch.
There he was, standing in my locker room. Jett Jarvis, a player hated by his former teammates.
He has an arrogant smirk, intense eyes, and a birthmark that looks…too familiar. I’m sure I saw it on the dude who dumped me in my hookup app.
They say Jarvis isn’t gay, but I bet he’s the same jerk.
I’m getting to the bottom of this, even if it means pushing his buttons until he snaps.
But the more I mess with him, my anger loses out to my attraction.

What happens when your fictional crush comes to life?
Adrian is about to find out.
When he complains about the latest chapter of his favorite web novel online, he doesn’t expect the main character to come crashing through his skylight.
And yet, that’s exactly what happens.
Suddenly, Adrian finds himself face-to-face with the incubus Knox, a demon who’s even more captivating in person than he was on the page. Ebony horns, dark magic, eyes that make Adrian’s knees go weak—Knox has got it all.
But Adrian prides himself on being a rational thinker. He’s not going to fall for someone who can’t possibly be real. Life has taught him: If something seems too good to be true, it usually is.
And Adrian’s troubles don’t end there. Knox isn’t the only one who’s crossed over from the web novel. His most dangerous enemy, the Shadow King, has appeared as well, threatening Adrian’s world.
Knox can fight him, but to do that, he needs fuel. He needs Adrian, needs him in his bed, needs to feed on him the way incubi do.
How can Adrian possibly resist?

Roommates, hookups, friends, idiots. What could possibly go wrong?
Emory Storey is a strong, independent college student, if a bit directionless and surly. The last thing she needs is a relationship—platonic, romantic, or otherwise.
Too bad she’s stuck in a roommate agreement with Sebastian Rees, a devastatingly attractive fifth year senior with more abs than ambition.
Their single hookup over a year ago was a mistake not so easily forgotten.
They’ve both—silently and separately—agreed to keep their distance. Not an easy task when Emory can’t stop thinking about the taste of his mouth. Or what his body feels like pressed to hers.
When a rogue winter storm traps them together with no power or heat for days, they’re forced to confront their one time together…and come out on the other side in a roommates-with-benefits arrangement, a complication Emory finds impossible to resist.
What was supposed to be no strings sex quickly morphs into late night gaming, inside jokes, and wing eating contests…and something that feels suspiciously like real friendship and real feelings.
But someone else is jealous. Someone else wants Emory.
Someone who may not take no for an answer…forcing Emory to take a stand if she wants to claim her happy ending.

Zacky Porter had a lump on the back of his head, a concussion the size of the sun and…three years of missing memories. Well, they weren’t missing exactly. He just had three years of memories from a different version of his life. One where he quit hockey after Cameron Vesper, his liney and eventual husband, sustained a career ending injury. He had a nice life outside of Toronto post-hockey. He was going to be a gym teacher.
Now, he was in a strange apartment in Texas, and Cameron was telling him that they not only were not married and had never been romantic, they were still playing hockey. Cameron and Zacky were playing on the same line in the NHL.
Cameron Vesper would do anything for his best friend, including nurse him back to health after hitting his head hard on the ice. But Zacky didn’t just have normal concussion symptoms. He was convinced he’d lived a parallel life, where the two of them were both retired and married. Cameron couldn’t stop thinking about the two of them being married. He could picture it.
But as Cameron warmed up to the idea of their friendship becoming something more, Zacky became more determined to leave him behind and get back to his own universe. To his actual husband. Their friendship had always been simple, straightforward, steadfast. Now it was something neither of them recognized.

Maddox foolishly believes we need any rules when we’re simply going to Japan to meet my extended family. What’s he think we’re going to do? Run into a serial killer? Like that would ever happen (let’s pretend it didn’t happen recently).
We’re going to relax, see the sights, spend some romantic nights together, try not to fret about meeting my family… and stop someone from being killed. (Weirdly, that last one wasn’t on the itinerary.)
When my cousin’s boyfriend shows up surrounded by ghosts, I wonder whether it’s some kind of premonition of what’s to come. The ghosts are unresponsive and fixated on their target, making Maddox and me question if we’re working against the clock to save this man. The two of us discover a disturbing pattern of people haunted by ghosts who are predicting their imminent death, and we’re swept into danger. Far from home, we’re left relying on my found family of rather unique ghosts who would risk their lives for me… if they still had lives to risk.

My uncle was a cruel man who constantly drilled into me how inferior I was and would never amount to anything. He taught me that love was nothing but a weakness—of which I have many—and could be used against me. I have friends I love, sure, but I’m a workaholic, keep the friends I proclaim to love at arm’s length, survive on hookups, and hide my broken parts with a well-practiced swagger.
Falling for my friend’s brother would lead to my destruction, no matter how much I want to break all my rules for him.

No reason to daydream about his soft lips, quirky sense of humour, sexy smile, or the way he blushes whenever he catches me staring which is far too often.
No reason to second guess my future plans or reconsider the no-strings lifestyle I’ve worked hard to perfect.
And absolutely no reason to feel disappointed that Terry is even less interested in a relationship than I am. I should be relieved.
Then why can’t I stop thinking about him and how right it feels when we’re together? Why does my heart spin at the very mention of his name? And why does the thought of moving on without Terry and his daughter in my life feel like the loneliest decision in the world?

To save them, Otto will need to accept the bond with Thalion. Faced with an impossible choice, they desperately search for search for a third option.

I’ll do anything to have him.
Even if it means destroying him.
Shepherd
My life is a carefully crafted web of lies. The world knows me as Doctor Shepherd Laskin, respected dom, psychiatrist, and professor. But underneath the façade of the perfect gentleman, I’m a monster, a vigilante with a shattered psyche who hunts men who abuse their positions of power.
But I’m burnt out. Lonely. Desperate for a submissive who can withstand my darker side.
When I met Elias, the sparks were instant. We even share the same goal: taking down a dangerous cult to free my estranged sister.
But I can’t have him. He’s too good, too pure, too psychologically fragile.
I know I’ll ruin him, but what choice do I have? He knows my secret, and with the FBI breathing down my neck I have only two choices…
And Elias might not survive either outcome.
Elias
I’m used to being alone. Ever since I left that cult, I’ve gotten used to it. People just don’t seem to understand me. Hell, I don’t understand me.
But Shepherd does. From the moment we met, he’s understood me and my dark desires better than anyone. Maybe it’s because he knows what it’s like to grow up in a cult, to be alone, to be damaged.
I know the last thing I should want is more pain, but I can’t help it. I crave what he does to me, even when it hurts. Especially when it hurts.
I know he’s complicated. I know he’s dangerous. Falling for him could mean death…or worse.
But I don’t care. I want him, even the complicated, messy, deadly parts of him, and I’m willing to go through hell to prove it.

Unlike me.
His stalker, a creep who moved into the place next to his parents’ house to keep an eye on him.
I’m not the bad guy, though.
I’m the one who will protect him.
The cops don’t believe he’s in danger.
Maybe they’re right, and this is all in my messed-up head.

And no matter how I justify this to myself, my motives aren’t entirely pure.
It’s impossible to watch a guy this hot walking around in those adorable beanies without getting a little turned on.
When he discovers my secret surveillance, I’m sure it’s over.
No way he believes my reasons for watching him, but he doesn’t report me for my crime.
He’s curious about me in a way I don’t expect from a straight guy.
Or as I quickly learn, maybe not so straight.
Before I know it, we’re on a journey, exploring this wild, exciting part of Leif while I try to keep him safe from harm.
But the closer we get to one another, the more I wonder: what if it was all in my head?
What if no one’s coming for him?

My well-oiled machine goes off track when I discover a massive leak at the shelter.

I prayed to God every night to make it end. Then, in December, I prayed to Santa. No one ever came to help – to make it all stop. I had been a fool. Santa wasn’t real, and neither was God.

But slavery in the Alliance is strictly forbidden, leaving Aiden attempting to rehabilitate his unexpected charge, despite Kade’s obvious reluctance to cooperate.
Kade has waited for years to meet his master, the man he can devote himself to for the rest of his life.

But for Aiden to treat Kade as the slave he insists he is would be a moral travesty, defying both Alliance law and his own conscience.

With their upcoming world tour comes a talented photographer hired to document every moment, and no one captures the essence of rockstars like Evert Jackson. His work is provocative and sensual, like the man himself. Is Evert a new dream within reach or am I setting myself up for another heartbreak?

BLURB:
Ellis Young has dreams that will never come true, or so he believes. The things he wants are unattainable for someone like him- dumb, poor, ‘easy’. He longs to be cared for by someone who sees him as more than a one-night stand or bathroom quickie.
Jagger Ward sees Ellis for who he is but struggles to break down the walls Ellis has built while trying to keep himself from getting hurt… again. On the outside, Jag is a happy, stable, and confident man. He owns a thriving business and spends his days living life the way he wants. But underneath the façade, Jag is miserable. His tragic past haunts him. He blames himself for what happened, and it’s a daily battle to keep the guilt and sadness hidden.
When Jag meets Ellis, he feels something other than numbness for the first time in years. The only thing he wants is to care for Ellis, but Ellis is a closed book and refuses to let him in. Jag is determined to show Ellis that he won’t give up so easily. Can both men find each other through the wreckage of their past.
