That is, until Vale, a philosophy classmate (who Gabi might’ve kissed very briefly, and only once, to help him out at a party) volunteers to tutor him. As a friendship blooms and the two spend more and more time together, Gabi begins to recognize something about himself: that maybe he’s not as straight as he thought he was.

Now, I can’t stop wishing we’d gone further—and my “straight” identity is looking more questionable by the second.
I can manage multiple businesses, interfering employees, and the occasional runaway giraffe. But falling for a man might just be the thing that cracks my cowboy exterior.

Eli shouldn’t get under my skin, but he does—with his easy smiles, late-night cooking, and the way he looks at me like I’m something more than just a closed-off hockey player.
Then I kissed him. I shouldn’t have. But for one reckless moment, I let myself want. Now he’s looking at me like he’s waiting for something—something I don’t know how to give.
Because wanting Eli is dangerous. And letting him in? That might be the biggest risk of all.

A fresh start—that’s what Michigan U was supposed to be. A clean break from my past and the toxic relationship that made me forget who I was. I wasn’t looking for complications, but then I met my roommate, Niall; grumpy, brooding, and frustratingly hot and cold. He barely speaks to me, yet for some reason, I can’t stop thinking about him.
Then he kissed me. And for a moment, I thought maybe—just maybe—there might be something real between us. But when he’s too afraid to call me his anywhere outside of our apartment, I wonder if I’ve made the same mistake again.
I should let it go. I should move on. But I know those walls aren’t just for keeping people out—they’re for keeping himself safe. And damn it, I think I want to be the one to break them down.

A summer romance for one, please!
One summer. An island resort escape. Solitude to banish the demons in my past.
What begins as a chance meeting on a beach during sunset turns into the most romantic, life-changing five weeks I could ever dream up with two of the most amazing men I’ve ever met. The end of summer comes all too soon and we’re forced to part ways, though we promise to keep in touch.
Fate isn’t letting this be the end, though. The start of the new school year finds me on Alka’s soccer team. We’re not sure whether to celebrate being together again or hide our forbidden relationship.
As it turns out, the decision might not be up to us – Alka receives an anonymous email with an ultimatum – kick me off the team or they’re going to expose our relationship to the Dean.

For eight years I’ve lived in the shadow of my golden child stepbrother. Dex is everything our parents want in a son, and I’m the weirdo who can’t seem to get his life together.
After getting renovicted from my apartment, I’m forced to ask Dex for help. He agrees to let me stay with him while I find a new place, but neither of us is happy about it. Then I accidentally discover that my perfect stepbrother has an online side gig, and I learn how lucrative it can be.
Working together is supposed to be a way to make some extra cash, but it’s impossible to keep things in the business zone when I start to realize that maybe Dex is just as misunderstood and lonely as me.

The only downside to moving home after college is that I can’t avoid my stepbrother anymore. Asa is one of the most aggravating people I’ve ever met, and he’s spent the last eight years letting me know exactly what he thinks of me.
After agreeing to let him stay with me so he doesn’t end up homeless, he accidentally finds out about my online job.

I already know this is going to be messy, but I’m not prepared for how difficult it is to keep our arrangement impersonal. And the more I learn about my closed-off stepbrother, the more I realize that maybe we aren’t so different after all.

The contract said “pretend.” My heart didn’t get the memo.
Groover
The fan fictions were the last straw. As the only openly gay player on the team, I’m used to attention, but when fans start shipping me with my straight teammates, management has a “brilliant” solution: get a fake boyfriend to stabilize my image and secure a major sponsorship deal.
Enter Mateo—a broke anthropology student who doesn’t know a hockey stick from a broomstick. He’s supposed to be the perfect fake boyfriend: straight, temporary, and contractually obligated to keep things professional.
But when practice kisses start feeling too real and my heart races every time he wears my jersey, I realize I’m breaking the most important rule in the playbook: don’t fall for the guy who’s only here for the paycheck.
Mateo
The arrangement was supposed to be easy: Pretend to date a hockey player for three months, collect enough money to cover tuition, and move on with my life.
Easy went out the window the moment Groover’s lips touched mine “for practice.”
Suddenly I’m wearing his jersey backward for luck, getting jealous of his ex, and Googling “am I bi?” at 2 AM in incognito mode. What started as research into sports culture for my anthropology thesis is becoming a study in something I never expected.
With playoffs approaching and our contract ending, I have to make a choice: Walk away with my tuition paid and heart intact, or admit that somewhere between the fake kisses and real feelings, I’ve completely pucked up by falling for a man who thinks I’m just acting a part.

When a string of ritualistic murders tears through Manhattan, Cade’s investigation leads him straight into the path of Sean Cullen, a sharp-tongued hunter who kills first and asks questions never.
Sean has his own demons to battle, haunted by a past where trust meant death. The last thing he needs is a federal agent with too many questions and eyes that see too much. But as ancient forces gather and barriers between worlds grow thin, these unlikely allies discover something more dangerous than the monsters they hunt: an attraction that defies everything they believe about keeping their hearts walled away.

Theo Fairgood is still the golden boy, even if he doesn’t have a heartbeat these days.
Kade Renfield is still trouble, even if he’s too busy getting his blood sucked to cause much havoc.
It’s a new year, and things are looking up. The boys are on track to solve the mystery of Theo’s transformation and the strange link tying them together. What’s more, they’ve grown reluctantly fond of each other since the horrifying events of last year, and they’re getting worse at hiding it. For the first time in their lives, they have somebody they can truly be themselves around. The walls both boys built around themselves are crumbling down.
Then tragedy strikes. Theo’s walls fly right back up, more determined than ever to uncover his sire and take him down once and for all. But to figure out who his sire is, they’ll have to decide who they can trust. Enemies lurk in the shadows. Old friends lend a hand or hack it off at the wrist.

“I am one of the few gods in the pantheon who wasn’t even given a wife in fiction because I was so horrible.”
Ares, ancient God of War and Courage, felt as if his life was in limbo. Nothing had changed in eons. His kin still hated him, he was still despised by anyone he interacted with… except for Hermes, but then he was friendly with everyone. But Ares was just marking each day with nothing to look forward to, or to enjoy. Until he got a text from his security company that was monitoring the cameras at his Boston house. What he saw on the feed was intriguing enough to have him thinking a spot of time on earth was a good idea.
“If I worried about things like that, I’d be sleeping under a rock and I’d never stick my nose out, even at nighttime in case the moon laughed at me.”
Marty, racoon shifter and eternal optimist had found a stash of strawberries. He knew he was taking a risk, he knew there could always be a chance he’d be run off from his little encampment, but those strawberries were too tempting to ignore. He didn’t take them all – Marty believed in always leaving enough for others, but little did he know that those stolen strawberries would change his life in every way.
How on earth did I get friend-zoned when we’re supposed to be mates?
