Viscount Oliver Henry FitzClarence has spent years hiding his love for his best friend, Jack. In the world of upper-crust England, where tradition reigns and secrets are buried deep, coming to terms with his identity is a challenge Oliver never anticipated. Jack, the charming, popular, rugby-playing son of a vicar, has been Oliver’s closest companion since their first day of school—a bond cemented by shared adventures and unspoken truths. But when their lives take them in different directions and they part for years, everything changes.
Years later, when their paths cross again, old feelings reignite, and the lines between friendship and love blur. In the whirlwind of reconnection, Oliver discovers that not only has Jack been hiding feelings of his own, but they are both navigating the uncharted territory of first love.

BLURB:
Professor Daniel Carter’s only positive connection in everyday life is the one he has with his students. When their final field trip is compromised, he’ll do just about anything, even teaming up with the eternally cheerful Henry Mitchell, the curator of the local museum.
Daniel’s been ostracized by the town; his harmful divorce and manipulative ex-husband have made sure that he doesn’t feel welcome anymore in the only place that he’s ever been able to call home. Shunned by the community and the tight knit-group of people he once had, he finds solace in his work, his students and tales of romance throughout the ages. In real life, however, love is something that he keeps at arm’s length.
For Henry there is nothing more beautiful than love, any and all forms are worthy of being celebrated. Tasked with hosting a fundraiser to ensure that the museum can keep their doors open, he sets out to make sure it’s the brightest event the town has ever seen. Despite his wish for a romantic connection, he’s never quite found the one that can keep up with him. His boundless energy, positive attitude and larger than life personality tend to keep people away. That there’s more to him than what he tends to show doesn’t seem to matter.
Will they find their own love story worthy of being documented? Or will they shatter like ancient artifacts?

A young man with dreams of his own leaves them behind to finish raising the two little boys left behind after their parents’ deaths.
Instead of mourning his mother or living the dream he’d had since he was a little boy, Gabriel stepped up to take care of his two brothers, both underage. It wasn’t easy, especially since Brandon was traumatized and acting out from losing his parents.
He takes the boys to see Santa at the mall. While waiting in line, he has time to reflect. Gabriel wasn’t one to feel sorry for himself, but he missed the things he felt he’d never have.
Out of the mouths of babes.
Brandon tells Santa that he should bring Gabriel a job for Christmas.
And…Santa grants his wish.
Santa was really Alan Martinez, head of an art consortium. Gabriel knew nothing about art, but the man was so welcoming, so pumped to have Gabriel on board that he takes the job and hopes he can make sure Alan never regrets his decision.
Alan Martinez is a people watcher. As an artist, he sees more than most people and he sees so much in the young man juggling two young boys and the death of his beloved mother.
What starts as a helping hand becomes so much more, and when he asks what Gabriel wants for Christmas, Alan knows he’s the only one who can give him his heart’s desire.

He didn’t plan to befriend a slightly grumpy, flannel-wearing human—who doesn’t know Levi is a kraken or that they live in an oceanic ley line haven town surrounded by sea monsters. Now Levi is stuck keeping secrets he shouldn’t have to from the man he’s falling head over tentacles for.
When Lifeboat’s ley line magic is threatened and the town is attacked, Levi and Kris must work together to keep the town safe while both the humans and sea monsters get ready to celebrate the winter holidays.

Roland has a story to tell, a decades-old secret to spill, and he’s decided that Adam is just the guy to help him do it.

That means one month, a hundred thousand words, no breaks.
Ghostwriting is hard enough, let alone when you’re dealing with a real ghost, and so it isn’t long before Roland’s idea of what his book should be clashes with Adam’s vision for what it could be.But the clock is ticking, the ice melting. And as more truths are told, both men soon discover that this experience is less of a coming out, and more of a coming home . . .

I haven’t seen him here on puppy-play night before, but I’m not surprised when he tells me he wants to be a pup. I was born to be a Daddy.

After receiving such a call one night, William abandons everything to catch the next flight home. Arriving at Manhattan Memorial, he finds a beautiful young man restrained to a gurney. His eyes are wild with fear, and blood stains his skin. No one has been successful in getting him to speak.
When even he can’t get the young man to cooperate, William does something he may later come to regret—he extends an invite to his home.

William slowly begins to spiral from his own struggles with his tormented past. His nightmares return, sleep becomes a lost cause, and the dark voices in his head are out for blood.
Amid their co-dependent isolation, William’s feelings evolve. Lines are blurred, and then crossed altogether as they start down a path riddled with secrets and lies of omission.
The only thing that can set them both free is the truth. But maybe some things are better left buried. Because if the ugliest parts of William are ever unearthed, no one will be spared.

He owns a club in the French Quarter, has a wonderful crew of people who call it home, loyal, caring friends, and even gets his kid fix by helping to take care of his chef’s daughter. What he doesn’t have is that special someone to share his days and nights with. He thought he did, once upon a time, but that man left to find fame and fortune, became a rockstar, and never returned. And that’s fine. Life isn’t a fairy tale. Now if only he could find a band to play music in his club at night, that would be a Christmas miracle.
Dawson West had to leave to see if his dreams could become reality, but what he didn’t count on was that once he had the world at his feet, he’d miss the man who’d held him tight. Between the endless climb toward greatness and the pitfalls of addiction, Dawson lost himself for a while, but that doesn’t mean he stopped loving Chris. Not wanting his love to see him broken, he makes certain he’s clean and sober when he finally comes home. Going radio silent while becoming the man Chris deserves seemed like a good idea at the time, but now…
Now, Chris has a problem. Dawson is back, out of the blue, and if Chris lets him return to rocking his club, is that an invitation for his heart as well? How can Chris ever trust again, even if it is the season?

A demon who punishes evildoers. A fastidious goat. What could they possibly have in common? Well, duh—nothing. Except Fate has other ideas.
When his friend Dakata needs help, Merihem—the ‘controller’ for the demon and human realm—charges in headfirst without thinking about the consequences. For his trouble, he’s cast up to the human realm and forced to take over Dakata’s business and his home, all the while figuring out how to get back into the good graces of the king.
When he meets a small excitable goat—his ‘blissful one’—life really gets interesting.
Peni left his home and got himself a cleaning job, where his only sanctuary is in the basement. Until a very large, naked demon invades his place of work, claiming he and Peni are ‘blissful ones’. Yeah right. Except now, his goat half is acting up, the real housekeeper is angry with him, and he’s clueless how to make his giant invader understand that when one of them is tiny, size really does matter.
And then there’s the trifling inconvenience of someone trying to hurt them.
If they can survive all that, then maybe—just maybe—the universe got it right after all.

A winter in paradise doesn’t sound too bad until I become the substitute choir teacher at a middle school near the base. Wrangling a bunch of tweens while planning the annual school holiday lights festival is a far cry from playing Peter Pan.
Enter Merrick “Merry” Winters, the school’s grumpy but hot shop teacher. I can win over any audience, but Merry’s a tough sell. And I need his help to make the festival successful.

He’s committed to raising his twin boys on the island as a single dad. And like me, he doesn’t have time for an inconvenient but undeniable attraction.
As disasters pile up, the only holiday magic Merry and I seem to be making is with each other. What starts as a harmless fling becomes the only present I want under my tree.
If I want this romance to last past New Year’s, I have to decide which dreams are truly worth chasing.

Just because we’re stuck here doesn’t mean I have to like you…
Daniel
They say you can’t run from your past. Whoever ‘they’ are were right; the change of scenery did nothing to chase away my demons. Just because your daddy owns the first place that hired me doesn’t make you impressive—even if you think it does. Your spoiled, smug personality could use some adjusting. Unfortunately, not a deal-breaker, since I find you so damn attractive. Inviting our friends to your family’s cabin for a weekend getaway is just you wanting to impress them. Like an idiot, I thought I’d go up early…
And now we’re stuck…
Shawn
I want to know all about the guy who ran away from the small beach town he grew up in. But I guess your best friend being part of a theft ring and getting locked up for it would make anyone do a runner. Yeah, I know all about it. You’re fooling yourself if you thought I hadn’t done my research. What I wasn’t expecting was everything else I uncovered along with it. Do our friends know what you used to get up to? I tease you because you intrigue me and it’s fun getting under your skin. I only went up early to make sure everything was ready, but now we’re snowed in at my parent’s cabin. Alone…
Might as well make the most of it…

Win the competition, split the prize, and pretend this X-Rated fairy tale never existed.
MATTY
I’ve never let anything hold me back.
Not my parents kicking me out at eighteen for being trans. Not a plunge into frigid waters that muted my hearing.
Sure as hell not Elias Lee standing opposite me on a stage for people’s attention. He’s mouthy and cocky with the body to back it up, but I’m no quitter.
For a chance at the dream that’s always been a little too out of reach, there’s no line I won’t cross. Even if that means pretending we’re hot under the collar for each other to win a competition.
But as Elias pushes for more, for wandering hands and stolen kisses behind the scenes, I’m not sure my heart can tell the difference between reality and make believe.
ELIAS
Taking my clothes off for strangers is what pays the bills.
I’m one of a few dancers at our club willing to do fully nude private shows. The rumors that I sleep with my clients are unsettling to say the least, but taking care of a toddler isn’t cheap.
When Matty and I are paired together for a charity competition with a cash bonus, I’ll pull all the stops to get the win.
Even if that means letting Matty take me on dates to Randy’s Diner and spending late nights dancing together in my living room.
Matty thinks we’re rivals, that I want to stand in his way, but all I want is to keep my son and I safe from the same heartache that left us in this mess.

That is until I get the one phone call that threatens to unravel the entire event: Santa quits and every person I call to replace him is booked.
