PUBLISHER: Hodgkin & Blount
LENGTH: 311 pages
RELEASE DATE: 5/26/2025
BLURB:
This isn’t a romance. This isn’t happily-ever-after. This is a mystery. And, like me, it’s pretty messed up.
Detective Gray Dulac is in freefall: a disfiguring injury; a crumbling relationship; a slowly imploding career. But there’s a kind of clarity to it all. A detachment. A way of being in the world when you can’t screw things up any more than you already have.
When he stumbles across a wounded young man outside a party, though, Gray is struck by the similarities between their injuries, and he discovers he might not be as detached as he thought. The case falls under the jurisdiction of the sheriff’s office, but Gray can’t seem to leave it alone, and he continues to investigate even after being told to stop.
The only problem is that everyone, including the victim, is lying to him. And when the young man turns up dead, Gray finds himself at the top of the list of suspects and racing to find the real killer—and the truth. Because better than anyone, Gray knows that truth is a broken mirror.
And the edges are sharp enough to cut.

Archer Read is 27 and desperate to find his place in life. Five months ago, he quit his soul-destroying accounting job in Ohio and moved to Manhattan with dreams of making it on Broadway. And now he has nothing to show for it but a string of rejections. Even for a ray-of-sunshine like Archer, hope can only go so far. A musical revue at Shady Queens, a queer-friendly resort in the Catskills, is his last chance to break into show biz—otherwise, it’s back to Ohio, broke and hopeless. He arrives ready to dance his heart out, only to find he’ll be working with his teenage celebrity crush, the Broadway star Mateo Dixon.
What is Mateo doing working at Shady Queens? Besides barking orders and glaring at everyone…when he’s not absolutely smoldering at Archer on the dancefloor. As Archer tries to forget his teen crush and get to know the real Mateo, he’s caught up in a romance with his hot, temperamental bunkmate, Caleb. Between Mateo’s baggage and the dance crew’s drama—partying, flirting, breaking up, getting back together, then breaking up again—it’s no surprise when the show starts to fall apart. Archer quickly discovers that when it comes to dance, sometimes you can’t leave all your problems backstage.

Now a second-year PhD student and newly rooming with his brother, Nicholas just wants to keep his head down and survive the school year. So it’s just his luck that Matías is not only moving to Chicago but needs to crash on their couch for a while.
Despite his best attempts at avoiding Matías, there’s only so much he can do when the living room is Matías’s temporary bedroom. Matías’s reappearance in Nicholas’s life, along with a budding romance with a TA, reopens old wounds and upends everything he thought he knew.

Abel Bishop arrives at the lush oasis of Verde Springs with nothing but a worn satchel and a dangerous past trailing behind him. Exhausted and hunted, he seeks anonymity in this remote corner of the frontier, desperate to bury the man he once was.
Cassian Dyer tends his flock with the same quiet dedication he applies to everything in his solitary life. When he offers the mysterious stranger work as a farmhand, he never anticipates how profoundly this decision will alter his carefully ordered existence.
As Abel settles into his new identity, a powerful rancher’s ruthless land grab threatens not just Cassian’s modest homestead but the entire Verde Springs community. While their mutual attraction deepens, so do the dangers surrounding them – the looming shadow of the greedy cattle baron Blackwood, the harsh realities of frontier justice, and the ghosts of Abel’s outlaw past that refuse to stay buried.
When a face from Abel’s former life appears in town, both men must decide what they’re willing to risk for redemption, justice, and a chance at love in a world that offers second chances to few.

Their only chance at escape is a last, desperate train ride toward the Austrian border, but even that is a trap waiting to be sprung. The KGB’s most ruthless officer is watching their every move, and one wrong step could mean a bullet in the back—or a one-way trip to a Siberian prison camp.

Womanizer. Player. Manwhore.
They’re all titles I’ve leaned into over the last few years.
But I’m finally settled, working as a volunteer firefighter alongside my best friend, and being a part time EMT; I have it all. At least on paper.
The thing nobody knows is that I’m a liar. A fraud. A fake.
Hiding my sexuality behind a smokescreen has become second nature, and it’s not good. Especially when feelings start creeping up for someone they shouldn’t be.
Wyatt
Serving as a police officer for the city of Seattle is exactly where i’m meant to be. I’m the gay police officer, and I’m comfortable enough in myself not to be ashamed of it.
Sparks fly when the local firefighter crosses my path, but with his reputation, it’s clear to see he’s not ready for more.
Friends by day, lovers by night, but how long can it stay that way? Am I enough for him to start a life together with, or am I just a fun phase that he will soon get tired of?

I’m just trying to get through this semester and forget my checkered past. My roommate, the star winger for our school’s hockey team and resident filthy-rich boy, has other plans. He needs a date for a gala his family is hosting, and he’s picked me to be his beard. Though, since I’m male, I’m sure the term does not apply.
It seems that his cousins are bent on setting him up with any single guy they know, gay or not, so my roomie is taking things into his own hands and he wants to bring me as his date. That’s his plan anyway. It doesn’t matter that I’m “not gay” as he says. Any male body will do.
Little does he know, I very much swing his way. I’ve been crushing on him since the day we moved in together. I just hide my feelings better than he could dream of—even when he walks out of the shower all steamy and hot and devilish temptation with a big stick—a hockey stick, of course.
I have good reason. My past and his wealthy family will never mix. Problem is, I just can’t say no.

Josiah Kellam, a skilled half-Arapaho tracker torn between two cultures, reluctantly agrees to guide Hector through the canyon’s hidden wonders. As they explore sacred sites and ancient traditions, an unexpected bond forms between them—one that transcends the bitter hostilities dividing their communities.
But a sinister force is at work.

LENGTH: 234 pages
RELEASE DATE: 5/28/2025
BLURB:
Holt Carver has been in the minors long enough to see fresh-faced rookies come and go—and long enough to know this season might be his last. He’s the Forge’s bruising power forward with a sharp tongue and a short fuse, better known for chirps and chaos than locker room speeches. But all he’s ever wanted—more than a call-up, more than respect—is a real leadership role. To leave behind something that mattered. Not just his stats, but his voice.
Enter Matsson Pike—second-year winger, last year’s breakout star, and a walking sunbeam in skates. He’s got an NHL future dangling in front of him, fans who chant his name, and a smile that lights up any arena. But after an off-season injury and mounting pressure to perform, Pike is floundering beneath the surface. And when Coach pairs him with Carver for mentorship? It’s like tossing oil on an open flame.
Carver thinks Pike is too bright, too golden, too everything. Pike thinks Carver is a storm cloud in hockey pads. But as the season grinds on—and forced proximity turns into unexpected conversations, lingering stares, and confusing dreams—they start seeing through each other’s masks.
They’ve shared the ice for a year, but neither saw this coming: the quiet thrill of understanding, the slow-burn heat of tension neither of them has language for, and the terrifying realization that this might be more than friendship… and far more than either of them expected.
Because when the season ends, Pike might be heading to the NHL. And Carver might be hanging up his skates. But between the boards and beneath the weight of everything they’ve never dared admit—what if this is the moment that changes everything?

Of course, that’s best friend goals don’t you think? Without him, I wouldn’t be half the bull rider I am today. He’s my good luck charm, closest confidant, and partner-in-crime all rolled into one.
Griff might be a little grumpy, but he’s always got my back and joins in when I sing. Who doesn’t love a good sea shanty?
I thought I knew everything about Griff.
Until a road trip… and one kiss.

BLURB:
In the short time since I moved to Oliver Creek, I haven’t met a lot of single omegas. But the town is growing quickly, and I hold a hope that perhaps Fate will send my mate to me one day. But in the meantime, I was willing to take what joy I could from my new business, a bakery started by someone else who had left town to join family many miles away. Things were going well, but I had to watch my pennies if I wanted to keep growing. And that meant making most of my own deliveries.
Smash cakes are one of my favorite things to bake. I always create a cake for the parents and their party guests, too, but presenting the first cake to a new person, often the first pastry of any kind, held a special significance. I juggle the two boxes in order to ring the bell of a home at the edge of town, and who should open it but my mate. My omega. My fated.
But when he opens it wider, I see the little boy clinging to his leg. My mate belongs to another. It may not be his fated, but they have a family nonetheless. Maybe it’s time to move away and avoid seeing this sweet, beautiful omega with another man.

Hockey prodigy Nat Taylor should’ve followed his father and brother to the NHL, but a dream-shattering mistake cost him his career. Now at thirty-five, he’s desperate to give his teenage daughter a better life while struggling to hold onto his job as a Zamboni driver for the failing Day River Dingoes. But when a spicy meet-cute with the Dingoes’ new captain sparks something far hotter than friendship, Nat finds himself worrying about more than just his daughter’s college fund.
Captain Olli James has one goal—make it to the NHL. His rocky mental health has thrown his otherwise promising career into question, but saving the sinking Dingoes could be his ticket to the big leagues. However, a certain moody, broody bad-boi Zamboni driver might prove distracting … Especially when Nat turns out to be the secret star of a gritty underground league called the Ice Out—the town’s favorite new hockey phenomenon.
It’s no wonder the locals prefer the illicit fight-club hockey over their home team. The Dingoes are a rotating door of players passing through on their way to something better. Olli’s no different. An outsider won’t save the Dingoes, or Nat’s livelihood. But maybe together, Nat and Olli can unite the town and the team—make the Dingoes matter again. It might give Olli a reason to stay and Nat a new dream worth fighting for.

I live my life in perfect control. I have to. My family depends on me to protect them, and my work keeps me buried in deadlines. The only time I let myself breathe is on my bike, tearing through the night at speeds that could easily kill me.
Then Silas came crashing into my world. He’s chaos wrapped in leather, all wild grins and eyes that see straight through me. He feeds my adrenalin fix in other ways. When he touches me, he tears through every wall I’ve built, leaving me shaking, exhausted, and craving more.
But the closer I let him get, the more I see the shadows he tries to hide. I don’t know what he’s keeping from me, but I know it’s dangerous.
And I’m afraid it’s the kind of danger that could tear my family apart.

But Mason’s not just a man; he’s a wildfire. If I’m not careful, he’ll burn through the carefully crafted lies that keep my life together.
Because the truth is, I’m living a double life. One wrong move, and everything I’ve worked for—everything I care about—could go up in smoke.

What do you do when you’re a hit man … who’s terrible at his job?
At first, I thought it would be an easy payday. A few pew pews for bad people, a couple of suitcases of cash for me. People have done worse for an honest living. Probably.
The problem is that after a couple of jobs, I’ve never actually managed to unalive someone, and not for lack of trying. Apparently, a basic requirement of a hitman is being a good shot.
Despite my constant duck-ups—that my boss knows nothing about—I’m given another name, and I very nearly follow through. Only after obliterating this guy’s ear and his fervent pleading to spare him, I’ve sent him into hiding and collected the cash anyway.
But wanted people are hard to hide, and bad guys don’t like paying big money for loose ends.
Now that Van Gogh has shown his face again—sans ear—I’ve scammed my way into his security team, which is sort of ideal since I’m now highly wanted as well.
Unfortunately, we have some “trust issues” to “work through” from our meet-shoot, and with the gorgeous bastard’s brother missing, he refuses to lay low until they’re reunited.
I’m not sold on the plan, honestly, but this guy has me questioning my sexuality along with my career path, and I’m at the point where I’m determined to see a job through to the end.
Or die trying.
But hey, at least then I’d finally deliver a body.

I’m known as the playboy of the NFL, promiscuous because of how many people—friends, strangers, fans—I’m photographed kissing for attention. Never mind the fact that my pictures help raise money for charities and distract the media vultures from other athletes’ personal lives. No one sees the good I do, how I help people by sacrificing my personal life. No one, that is, except Micah, the man who captured my heart nearly two years ago.
Since accidentally creating a queer and allies group for NFL players and partners and declaring an intent to overturn the league’s new invasive rule regarding players’ dating lives, it’s time to prove I’m not the irresponsible playboy everything thinks I am, but the only person I know to turn to is the one who suggested we break up and only be friends with benefits.
I’ve been trying to figure out how to convince Micah to give our relationship another shot. Maybe recreating my image will be just the thing to prove to him that I’m ready to settle down—with him.

My life is a mess.

So, much to my heart’s dismay, I convinced Zeke that we could break up but remain hooking up without feelings. I keep telling myself that I’d rather have him like this than lose him entirely. That I’m satisfied with our arrangement—but I’m not. I want to be with him, and I know he wants to be with me, but we’re stuck, unmoving, because I can’t be completely honest with him.

alix Valimir has one goal…
Catch the killer terrorizing the galaxy and make it off the planet Emergence faster than anyone can recognize him. Of course, that’s a pipe dream, and he’s identified the very first night he’s there. Fortunately for him, he’s rescued by the resident golden boy, Doctor Aodhan Solace. Cal’s past mistakes keep him from letting anyone in, but there’s something about the charming doctor that has him instinctively letting down his walls, no matter how hard he struggles against doing so. He knows no one in this universe is ever what they seem, that no one can be trusted, and yet with every passing devilish touch, he falls deeper and deeper for the man he knows must be a liar. Because everyone is. Even himself.
Aodhan Solace likes games.
But he doesn’t really have the patience to pull them off for long. What starts out as a passing interest quickly turns to desire when the detective submits to every one of his twisted demands. For a man who claims to be working on the side of good, Cal begs so prettily when he’s restrained. Aodhan has a reputation to uphold, but the more time he spends with the detective, the more certain he is that it’s time to take off the mask and show him who he really is. There’s only one problem. Convincing Mercy to let him.
Mercy is always in control.
This situation is no different. When Aodhan comes to him begging they take a third, he plays hard to get to keep things interesting, but the reality is Mercy knows exactly what he wants.
And how to get it.

If “bad decision” had a photo next to it in the dictionary, it would be of Alex Jones.
What’s better than attending your ex’s wedding? A camping trip in the woods, complete with bugs, critters, and sharing a tent with the hottest—and most infuriating—man alive. It’s basically a full itinerary of terrible decisions…
George:
When I came home for the first time in years, I was expecting a peaceful week celebrating my ex’s upcoming nuptials, some quality time with my overly enthusiastic mom, and a much-needed break from the dumpster fire that my life has become. Instead, I’ve been tricked into sharing a tent with Alex—the human equivalent of a smug smirk—who somehow manages to be both infuriating and alarmingly attractive. He pushes every button I have, knows exactly how to get under my skin, and worst of all… I think I want him to. Which is great, because nothing says “relaxing vacation” like emotional whiplash and unresolved sexual tension in a nylon sweatbox.
Alex:
I keep things casual. It’s easier that way. Safer than letting someone in and finding out—once again—that I’m not enough, or worse, that I’m too much. But George? He’s messing with my game plan. He’s uptight, prickly, and has made it painfully clear that he doesn’t like me. But there’s something in the way his eyes spark when we argue, something in his laugh and those quiet moments when we’re not at each other’s throats, that draws me in. The more time we spend together, the harder it is to ignore the pull between us. It terrifies me—because I want him, badly—but I can’t let him see the mess I’ve been hiding behind these walls. Not now. Not ever.

Finn:
All Finn wants is a fresh start, a steady paycheck, and a little sunshine after some stormy years. Landing a front desk job at Ridge Road Repairs might not be flashy, but cupcakes, a clipboard, and pure determination can fix almost anything. Except maybe his hopeless crush on Maverick, the quiet, brooding mechanic with swoon-worthy muscles, a stubborn scowl, and a secret soft side Finn can’t resist.

Maverick’s always been good at fixing engines. Feelings and relationships were never on his to-do list. At least, not until the cute redhead dances into his garage with a box of cupcakes and a smile that knocks the air from his lungs.
