When lightning strikes twice, you might get burned.
Zig’s trying to build a life for himself after falling in with the wrong crowd in his teens. When his no-good dad threatens to force him back into crime, he runs all the way to Glastonbury. He’s just hoping his former sweetheart—whom he’s always remembered as the one good man he knows—won’t slam the door in his face.
Si—Scratch to his mates—is blindsided when his gorgeous ex turns up on his doorstep looking better than ever. Although Si’s still nursing a broken heart six years after breaking up with Zig over his lifestyle, he welcomes him back into his life, no questions asked. He’s determined not to let him back into his heart, though; Si’s learned that lesson.
Before, Si was the naïve youngster and Zig the worldly jack-the-lad. Now, Si’s grown into his confidence as well as his muscles, while Zig’s had to face some harsh truths about himself.

Griffin
As an ex-military mountain man, I like my solitude. It keeps me from falling back into old habits. Bad habits. I’ve fought too hard for my sobriety to lose control now. This new gig as a wildlife guide is presenting itself with a whole new kind of temptation in the form of superhot supermodel River Vale. Nothing the Alaskan wilderness has to offer has ever called to me so badly. And that can only lead to trouble… The closer I get to River, the easier it is to ignore every reason I should run.
River
Chasing adventure means always moving forward. Nobody’s ever made me want to stand still before—until Griffin Barrett. The rugged bush pilot is the best kind of distraction, but the emotions he’s stirring up in me are starting to feel anything but casual, and I’m in no position to stay put. With temptation lurking in close quarters, keeping even a shred of distance between us seems to be a challenge neither of us is willing to meet.

Reuben
My plane suddenly plunging into the Alaskan wilderness is not what I thought would happen when I finally agreed to take a vacation. Just my luck. Now I find myself stranded with the injured, superhot pilot, Tobias Kooly, a man who’s endearingly sociable—and much too young for me to be wanting this way.
The longer I spend with Tobias, the more I’m beginning to question the workaholic life I’ve been living. Is there room in my heart for a love I never saw coming?
Tobias
As the sole provider for my sisters and ailing father, I’m devastated to learn my injuries will prevent me from working or even making it back home any time soon. So when hotshot attorney Reuben Graham insists on giving me a place to recover, not even my pride can make me refuse. I’ve never been tempted by a silver fox before, but something about Reuben is impossible to resist.
Recuperating in Reuben’s care is the last thing I expected, but the closer we become, the more incredibly right it feels. Can this thing betwen us hold up as the pressures I’m under start closing in?

Owen
I’ve got a fresh lease on life—after kicking cancer’s ass I’m roaring through my bucket list. I left my life as an investment banker behind hoping to find my next challenge in Alaska, volunteering alongside park rangers and fulfilling my childhood dreams of snowy winters and rustic life. Of course, those dreams did tend to feature big strapping mountain men in vivid detail… men like Ranger Quilleran Ramsey.
As the snowbound weeks pass and we give in to temptation, I can’t help but wonder if our seasonal romance can last until spring?
Quill
I’d rather be anywhere than dealing with newbie volunteers. The only thing I need less than a green volunteer “partner” is the flirty attentions of Owen Han, the buff city boy who doesn’t look ready to last a week, let alone a whole Alaskan winter. We’re all wrong for each other, if only my traitorous body didn’t enjoy the flirting more than it should.
We’ll have to trust each other to ensure the harsh elements and omnipresent dangers don’t destroy what happiness we’ve found in the moment, and maybe even give us a chance at a future together.

Madoc Walters never imagined he’d have to restart his career. But he’ll do whatever it takes to make a better life for his daughter, Val. Even if it means playing rookie for a hotshot who’ll get a promotion Madoc deserves more. A guy he can’t stop thinking about no matter how hard he tries.
In spite of the rivalry, the partners strike up a friendship, supporting each other after Gus is injured and Madoc’s ex-wife abandons the family. But when crushes become real emotion and Gus bonds with Val, will Madoc be ready to stop playing it straight?

RELEASE DATE: 2/24/2025
BLURB:
Two cowboys. A love like wildfire. And a ranch on the edge of foreclosure.
Logan
I never thought I’d set foot in Sagebrush, Texas, again. After leaving for New York City a decade ago, I promised myself I’d never look back. But when my so-called perfect life crumbled, the family ranch was the only place left to go. Now, I’m back in a town that feels more foreign than familiar, surrounded by suspicious stares and an overwhelming sense of failure. The debt hanging over the ranch isn’t making things any easier.
And then there’s Dakota Parker.
The first time I saw him, he took my breath away. A Cherokee cowboy with a quiet strength and eyes that seemed to see right through me, Dakota wasn’t like anyone I’d ever met. At first, he kept his distance, but the tension between us was impossible to ignore. One night, under the dim light of the barn, everything boiled over. That first kiss was like wildfire—hot, consuming, and impossible to put out.
But nothing’s ever simple, is it?
Dakota’s trust is something I never expected, and it’s the last thing I want to lose. But how do I balance my family’s legacy with the love I’ve found in him? Every choice I make feels like a betrayal—of him, of the ranch, and of the man I’m trying to become.
Dakota
I’ve spent my whole life keeping things simple—family, the land, and doing my part to protect my heritage. Love? That’s never been in the cards for me. People always want something from me, and I’ve learned it’s safer to stay guarded.
Then Logan Baker showed up, looking lost and determined all at once. He’s nothing like the men I’ve known—big-city sharp but with a vulnerability that pulls at something deep inside me. Against my better judgment, I let him in. The way he looks at me makes me want to believe in something more, but I’ve learned the hard way that hope can be dangerous.
When Logan’s desperation to save the ranch leads him to a group of investors with big ideas, my fears are realized. They want to turn this land into a spectacle, and me into their token Cherokee cowboy. I thought Logan understood what this place means to me, but now I’m not so sure.
Logan’s trying to fix everything, but he doesn’t see that some things can’t be bought or sold. I’ve spent my whole life fighting for the things that matter—my people, my land, my dignity. Now, I have to ask myself if I’m willing to fight for him too.
Together, we have to find another way—one that doesn’t sacrifice who we are or what we love. With the ranch’s survival on the line and our hearts hanging in the balance, we’ll have to trust in each other and believe that love, like the land, is worth fighting for.

BLURB:
They say beauty is a weapon. Trust me, I’ve turned it into an art form.
I’m Xander Laskin—vigilante, lethal seducer, and absolutely obsessed with my new handler. Ash Valentine is everything I never knew I needed: ex-FBI legend, iron-willed disciplinarian, and a man who’s about to discover he isn’t as straight as he thought.
Our mission is simple: infiltrate fashion icon Avery Roche’s inner circle and expose a killer who turns beautiful boys into preserved art. Playing newlyweds should be easy—I’m excellent at seduction, and Ash… Well, let’s just say his possessive streak isn’t entirely for show. But when we discover Roche is keeping the child of a Russian crime boss as their latest muse, the stakes become deadly personal.
I’ve spent my life using beauty as armor, turning heads while hiding knives. But Ash sees past my careful masks, past the dresses and deadly grace, to the broken parts I thought no one could want. As our fake marriage ignites very real passion, we’re both discovering that some boundaries are meant to be crossed.
One thing is certain: by the end of this mission, he’ll be mine completely. He just doesn’t know it yet.

Sometimes the only way to protect your heart is to break it before they can.
Finn met the perfect man six months ago. Cillian King is handsome, filthy rich, and has an Irish accent that makes him go weak at the knees. Of late, though, Finn’s remembering that if something seems too good to be true, it usually is. Because while he’s in it for the long haul, Cillian is more interested in work—and Finn deserves better than to play second fiddle to an advertising agency.
When the opportunity to relocate to Paris lands in his lap, it’s a chance for Finn to move on with his life.
New job. New city. New start.
Cillian was supposed to be relieved. He wasn’t supposed to turn up on Finn’s doorstep with words of regret and promises of doing better if Finn will give him another chance. It’s too late for that. Isn’t it?
Can a leopard really change its spots? If he can’t, Finn doesn’t know if he’ll be strong enough to walk away twice.
But maybe… just maybe, Cillian’s the perfect man, after all.

Felix
Dancing is everything to me. It’s the mother I lost, the father who never sees me. It’s the fiery love of my life, and I’ll defend it to my last breath—that’s what it means to be the lead principal at one of the best ballet companies in the world. Just when I thought I was on top, my greatest rival—my eternal nemesis—waltzes back into my life: Nicoló Savini. The ache in my bones and the bane of my existence.
If he thinks I’ll sit back and let him steal my spotlight, he’s sorely mistaken. No one’s taking this from me—not my father, not my ridiculously hot rival, and certainly not the confusing feelings that twist inside me every time I see Nico dance up close. He’ll regret coming here, to my city, my company. I’ll make damn sure of it.
Nico
Felix Taylor-Brooke has been my fiercest competition for years. I should loathe everything about him: his entitlement, his arrogance, that painfully captivating beauty. Felix was born for ballet; I was forged by it. People call us rivals, but that’s just the surface matter. Anyone who bothers to look any closer would see there’s something else simmering beneath, something we’ve both been fighting against for years.
When I walked away from ballet two years ago, I thought I was free. But then I was offered the one thing I’d always wanted, and I knew I’d regret not seeing this through. I know he’ll hate it, and I know he’ll likely make my life a waking nightmare, but honestly, I don’t sleep that well anyway. We might kill each other, but if we don’t, then we might be about to take on the greatest roles of our lives.

Coming home was never part of the plan.
Twelve years ago, I left my hometown—and Deacon Langford—behind. I had my reasons, and I told myself they were good ones. But now? Let’s just say life didn’t exactly go the way I thought it would. My shiny New York career crashed and burned, and now I’m back at Kensington House, my family’s crumbling estate, trying to figure out what comes next.
Spoiler alert: I have no idea.
What I do know is that Deacon, who lives next door, still has every reason to hate me. He’s built a life here—his farm, his friends, everything I left behind. But then my mother, ever the schemer, starts dropping not-so-subtle hints about “reconnecting.” And when my nosy uncle mistakes us for a couple, the next thing I know, I’m begging Deacon to fake it with me.
It’s just a way to help Mom. A few shared smiles, and a little PDA and we both get what we want. That’s the plan.
Except being near Deacon again feels like coming home in a way I wasn’t ready for. And the more time we spend together, the more I realize this might be my last chance to fix what I broke.
I just have to convince Deacon to take a second chance on me—and hope I don’t screw it up all over again.

Hard-boiled 1920s private detective Buck Baxter is used to solving crimes of passion, but when his latest client turns out to be his own boyfriend, Harry Hart, Buck discovers that nothing is what it seems when it comes to the mysteries of love.
All of Wilde City is abuzz with the unveiling of transport tycoon Howard Hart’s latest innovation, a rocket-train that promises to change the future of not only Wilde City, but the entire world. But not everyone has their mind on Hart Industries, including Harry—Howard’s son and heir to the Hart empire—who is so suspicious of his mother’s abnormal behavior that he hires his boyfriend, Buck, to investigate.
On the surface, the case looks like another secret love affair. But when Buck finds danger at every turn, he realizes this investigation is much deeper—and the stakes much higher—than he ever suspected.
From the smoke-veiled opium barge known as The Peking Empress to the opulence of the Hart family mansion—from Luigi’s garlicky gangster-run Linguine Kitchen to the secret-filled carriages of The Millennium Express—Buck’s latest case is about to teach him that love comes in many forms, all of which are wrapped in secrets, danger and a whole lot of mystery.

Everyone thinks the mafia is so glamorous. They make books and movies by the hundred and it’s all suave guys in suits making deals in smoky backrooms over poker games.
Well, I’m the mafia prince of Oklahoma. There’s no glitz or glamor here, and I hate every minute of it. But it’s my birthright. Until war breaks out between my family and the Aryan Brotherhood, and I’m forced to go into hiding in a little Missouri town that’s even more remote and redneck than my own.
The only upside is that I get to see the boy I used to share my home with, until his mother got sick of my dad and ran for the hills. I devoted my childhood to protecting him from my violent father, and it was the only thing that ever made me feel like a good person. Seeing him again makes me feel like that good version of myself isn’t as dead and buried as I thought. Maybe there’s a chance to get him back if I can scrape away the numbness and callous around my heart that a lifetime of violence has built up.
Not to mention, he’s… different. He was always a shy, scared little kid. Now he’s still kind of little, but he’s ten pounds of confidence in a five pound bag. And he has no problem telling the homophobic killers I work with where to shove it if they don’t like who he’s become. I’m inspired, and I wish I could take a little bit of that confidence for myself.
I’ve spent my entire life rolling over and giving Father whatever he wanted. Chipping away at my soul for him, one piece at a time. With Micah’s help, maybe I can get it back. Even if his methods are the last thing I was expecting…

Ryver dreams of escaping and making his own way in the world. That is until he meets Jorrin Turner, the hot quarterback with a heart of gold and a sinful body. The closer Ryver gets to Jorrin, the harder it is to navigate a homophobic father, small-minded classmates, relentless hormonal urges, and the desperate need just to be himself.

Protecting you was easy, letting you go is impossible.
I’m supposed to protect you after the most horrific time in your life. To do that I made a rule: No falling in love with you. But I effed up because I’m so damn in love with you that I ache for you without end.
For seven years, I’ve held you when you cried, looked after you, and made damn sure you got back all the confidence stolen from you. It’s just, the whole time, I’ve been pining after you like a lovesick puppy. Pathetic, I know.
I never saw a future where you could be mine, so I gave you no choice but to find someone else. You did and then you asked me to be the best man.
It. Wrecked. Me.
What I should do is let you go. Do what I’ve always done and smile through the pain of wanting you but not being able to have you.
I can’t do it this time, and I hope you’ll forgive me. You belong with me, Dash Nolan. It’s my fault you don’t know that already, so I need to make you see, or else I’m doomed to spend the rest of my life as half a person.

Did you think it was the end of our wild hotel adventures?
Yeah, us too.
The Big Bad is gone. We’re heroes! Adam, Fancy Fangs, and me (Zee, obvs) are long overdue some downtime. I’d also like a foot rub, a string of Tom’s hallucination‑inducing cocktails, and endless hours of some much needed personal time between the sheets with my two favorite people. And my pole.
Hello, happy ever after!
But it turns out, fate ain’t done with us yet.
Everyone’s favorite sunshine twink is great at unexpectedly unaliving folks who probably deserve it. What he’s not great at is keeping secrets. So when Adam packs our bags and springs a surprise vacation on us, it’s obvious—even to senile ancient vampires like Lord Fancy Fangs—that something is up.
We’ll play along and won’t ask questions, because it’s Adam. He’ll tell us what’s really going on . . . eventually.
But as we take the SOS Hotel team on the road and the weirdness stacks up—biker‑gang werewolves, psycho witchy influencers, trolls, fairy souls, and sinkholes—there’s one question Fancy Fangs and I can’t shake.

With seemingly little they can do but wait for the oracles to find a way through, Saffron’s apprehension grows as he’s soon plagued by nightmares of someone crying out for his help; someone who sounds too much like the missing daurae.
When a second tear through the veil is suddenly reported in the nearby town of Erelaine, Saffron is certain Ryder is behind it, and sees it as a chance to catch the man and use him to get through the veil to rescue those taken. But Erelaine isn’t the only place the veil is being manipulated, and soon a trail of ravaging damage fractures through Alfidel. Ryder is searching for something, and Saffron doesn’t know what would be worse—him finding whatever it is, or the consequences of his devastation to the veil in the process.
Not only is Saffron determined to capture Ryder, he fears what could be so important that has Ryder taking so many risks. But catching up to him is easier said than done while traveling under the watchful eye of his royal entourage, with the pervasive nightmares keeping him awake at night, the growing tensions between himself and Cylvan, and being forced to navigate delicate political expectations as Alfidel’s future Harmonious King.

Six mercenaries. One mansion filled with kinky surprises. One dangerous mission. What could go wrong?
Brooks:
Stealing things was how I made my living. Right or wrong, I was good at it and had been doing it most of my life. If you wanted something taken under the radar, you came to me. With the help of my adopted brother, Diego, we were an amazing team.
We were usually picky about our jobs, but we had bills to pay, and seeing all those zeros at the end of an offer had me taking one I never should have in the first place. Now I was in way over my head and forced to go to Luca Castellano and his team, Il Fortunato, for help. I would rather do anything but that, especially with how things ended with Luca and me last time. Still, he was the best and I refused to let Diego get hurt because of my mistake.
I told myself I wouldn’t get sucked in by Luca’s charms again. It was business, nothing more. One look at those deep brown eyes and the single dimple in his cheek and I was a goner. As hard as I tried to resist, it was impossible. Add in Skye, Maverick, and Wes, it was like all my deepest, darkest, and kinkiest fantasies come to life. How was I supposed to keep things professional when I kept falling for all these men more and more each day?
Danger was right around the corner though, and we barely got a chance to explore these feelings before we had to travel halfway across the world for a rescue mission. With chaos surrounding us, it was hard for me to figure out exactly how I felt for these guys. There was only one thing I was sure of; these five men were worth fighting for.
