TITLE: Totally Played

AUTHOR: Becca Jackson

SERIES: Love In Play #5

PUBLISHER: Silver Crown Books

RELEASE DATE: 8/25/2025

BLURB:

Meet Calvin Parks, the sweetest guy to ever set foot on a banana ball field.

CALVIN

I was just supposed to be a body double, a stand-in to save my twin brother Tony’s dating app rating after two no-shows, and a raging flu.

One quick drink, some polite small talk, and out.

Simple, right?

As a shortstop, I’m used to quick thinking, but even I’m surprised by how quickly I gave up the whole ruse. One smile from this guy and I’m spilling my guts.

I buy him dinner to make up for the switch up, and with the pressure off, what started as a fake out turns into a genuine good time. We bond over baseball, battle it out for the king of the claw machines, and somehow end up on Tim’s rooftop wrangling wayward kittens with the guys.

It’s the best bro-date I’ve ever had.

Except I forgot one thing: coming clean to Tony. And when he reschedules his date with Ashley like we planned, I start feeling way too territorial for a straight man.

Why do I feel like I just gave up a grand slam… and I’m the idiot who pitched it?

BLURB:

Gabe’s only rule in life? Avoid married men at all costs. But when a sexy, married lawyer-cum-farmer, with dreamy eyes and in an open relationship, makes himself indispensable, Gabe’s no-married-men pledge is hard to keep.

Gabe Hartman is an award-winning, workaholic soap opera writer who prefers friends with benefits that don’t interfere with his deadlines. After his mother dies unexpectedly, he returns to his small hometown to settle her affairs, then get back to work ASAP. He schedules the memorial, arranges the burial, but makes no plans to fall for anyone, especially not a married man.

Owen Greene is open-hearted, good looking, and blessed with a charmed life. He’s passionate about all things farm-to-table and isn’t afraid to pursue what he wants—experience optional. When Gabe stumbles into his chaotic farmers market booth, the sparks are instant.

Gabe wants to do right by his mother and get back to work. Owen wants Gabe. Their chemistry? Unavoidable. Between messy estate finances and a fake-date crash course in emotional vulnerability, they just might stumble into something real. If only Gabe could come clean about a secret of his own…

Elethior Tourael: Conjuration Department. Half-elf. Pretentious asshole. The latest legacy Tourael at Lesiara U.

Sebastian refuses to let anyone snatch this away, least of all a snob riding on old money. But what’s worse than a nemesis stealing your grant? You could both get it. Under the condition you work together.

Sebastian is in hell. Thio’s broody. Takes up their shared lab space with his projects . . . and biceps. Brings treats for Sebastian’s familiar . . .

. . . and is nothing like Sebastian thought.

When Sebastian’s past with the Touraels forces him to choose his research or Thio, the decision should be simple. But while working with his rival is volatile . . . falling for his rival might blow up Sebastian’s future.

TITLE: Ropers Can’t Tie Knots

AUTHOR: RM Neill

SERIES: Kissing Ridge Cowboys #3

PUBLISHER: Self Published

LENGTH: 289 pages

RELEASE DATE: 8/26/2025

BLURB:

I’ve got 99 problems, but a fake marriage shouldn’t be one of them.

Hunter Burke

Everyone knows my grandfather was a less than savoury human, but I didn’t think he’d stick it to me in new ways after he died.

I need a husband to claim my inheritance and the sexy new lawyer in town volunteers to step in.

A fake marriage is the easiest solution to my problem.

Besides, it’s only temporary, and it comes with perks.

It’s a simple business transaction. No feelings and no fuss.

He’s city and I’m country. He’s Lexus and I’m a beat-up pickup truck. We couldn’t be more different if we tried.

So why does my chest hurt when I think of him leaving when our time is up?

Gabe Davis

Hunter Burke needs help and I’m just the guy to do it. We have a mutually beneficial deal and it’s practically foolproof.

Pretending to be married to the smoking hot cowboy is no hardship. He’s pure sex appeal on horseback.

What is hard, though, is faking how much I’m liking farm life.

Horses are actually cool, and even the groundhog has grown on me. Porch swing chats are my new favourite thing and my city life is rapidly becoming a distant memory.

This arrangement has an end date, and divorce papers approaching way too quickly. We were supposed to leave feelings out of this, but I think I’m breaking that rule.

I want to keep my husband.

How do I convince him we aren’t so different at all and his chest pain might be love?

TITLE: A Furry Thing Called Love

AUTHOR: Abrianne Denae

SERIES: Friends of Gaynor Beach Animal Rescue

PUBLISHER: Self Published

LENGTH: 169 pages

RELEASE DATE: 8/26/2025

BLURB:

Arlo Wright is coming home.

Three years after leaving the only place he’s ever felt himself, Arlo moves back to Gaynor Beach, California, and this time it’s permanent. After a hellish few years of trying to pretend he didn’t leave a piece of his soul behind when he left at the end of that fateful summer, Arlo is choosing to live for himself, and no one else.

Of course, that means the first person he finds himself face to face with when back is the promise of forever he left behind.

Jordan Adams just wants to be kept.

After getting his heart broken twice, Jordan isn’t looking for love. He has his job as one of Gaynor Beach’s top dog trainers, and his menagerie to keep him company. His best friends are his cousin and the first person he ever loved, so asking for more seems to be a recipe for disappointment.

Until the one person he’ll never forget shows back up, and Jordan is tossed in a tailspin of “what could have been.”

One summer to heal the past.

Jordan and Arlo agree they can’t—shouldn’t—be together. Not after both men barely survived the first breakup. What they can do is be friends.

Friends who help each other out when times are tough. Friends who spend days on the beach together. Friends who train Arlo’s excitable puppy together.

Friends who are very much still in love.

Risking a second chance may mean reopening old wounds, but letting go of their happiness—again—could be their undoing. With a little fate, and a lot of animal interruptions, they might find what they’ve been looking for all along. In each other.

TITLE: Overeager

AUTHOR: Grae Bryan

SERIES: Extra Credit #1

PUBLISHER: Self Published

LENGTH: 253 pages

RELEASE DATE: 8/28/2025

BLURB:

Eli Miller worked hard to get where he’s at. He put in his time with academia, suffered through a contentious divorce, and now he’s months away from securing tenure. And sure, Eli’s let his life get a little small and a little boring, but that’s better than stumbling into another epic mistake like his first marriage.

But when a ridiculously hot alpha way out of Eli’s league asks for a very specific favor, Eli finds himself taking a walk on the wild side for the first time in years. Which wouldn’t be the worst thing in the world, until that same young alpha shows up in one of Eli’s classes.

As his student.

Noah Teller has never wanted anyone to be his boyfriend before. His friends say he’s too picky, Noah just thinks he’s…selective. But when an adorable omega with kind eyes and a delicious scent falls into his lap, Noah isn’t afraid to ask for what he wants. And yeah, Eli might be his professor—whoops—but that doesn’t mean Noah’s going to let him get away.

Call him overzealous, call him overeager, but either way, Noah is going to make Eli his.

TITLE: The Boss

AUTHOR: Gale Stanley

SERIES: Roosters

PUBLISHER: Changeling Press

LENGTH: 53 pages

RELEASE DATE: 8/31/2025

BLURB:

Maxwell Barnes runs the top law firm in the city, owns a private BDSM club, and has more money than he can spend in a lifetime. He gets everything he wants, and now he wants his paralegal, Aaron Marshall. Mixing work and pleasure is a big no-no, but their mutual attraction is off the charts. The one thing Maxwell isn’t looking for is love, but sometimes fate has a mind of its own.

TITLE: An Omega Fox for Walker

AUTHOR: Lorelei M. Hart

SERIES: Beartastic Summer of Love

PUBLISHER: Decadent Publishing

RELEASE DATE: 8/31/2025

BLURB:

Some vacations come with a happy ever after.

I’d been banking my vacation days for years. I didn’t have any big plans for them, but why use them if you didn’t need to? At least that was the plan before my company was bought out by our competitor and we were told any unused vacation days when the fiscal year ended would be lost. No way I was going to give those bad boys up, leaving me with my entire summer off and nothing to do with it.

When my cousin called and asked if I wanted to pose as a guest for his new “resort” in the White Mountains, how could I refuse? My bear missed being surrounded by nature and how hard was it to look like a happy tourist. He forgot to mention that part of the job requirement was attending every single activity he ran, even if I was the only one. Smores by the fire pit and Bingo in the lobby were great, the first dozen times, but three weeks into my vacation and I needed a vacation.

That is until a fox checks in, one who my bear calls mate. Only problem is, the fox doesn’t seem to recognize me at all, which means I have one week to woo him over before he goes back to his every day life and I’m stuck here eating yet another smore.

TITLE: Wrong Number, Right Grizzly

AUTHORS: Colbie Dunbar & Lorelei M. Hart

SERIES: Dial M For Mates #7

PUBLISHER: Surrendered Press

RELEASE DATE: 8/31/2025

BLURB:

Sometimes the wrong number is the exact one you need.

When my phone rings and I don’t recognize it, I ignore it. Full stop. Never once have I regretted that habit… until today.

The message left on my voicemail was a plea for help, his car stuck on a country road as the rain cascades down. He had meant to call a tow company, but got me instead. No big deal. I just need to call him back, right? Wrong?

Cell service dies one ring in and I’m left with one two choices: Hope they called someone else in the 20 seconds it took me to try and call them back or go and try to help them myself. I pick the latter.

TITLE: Moth Woods

AUTHOR: Amara Lynn

SERIES: Contemporary Cryptids #3

PUBLISHER: Self Published

LENGTH: 98 pages

RELEASE DATE: 8/31/2025

BLURB:

A lonely mothman…

The little piece of almost heaven I carved out for myself ain’t bad. I’ve got my truffle pig, Rampy, and my farm, and my work. It ain’t much, but it’s honest work, and a peaceful existence.

There ain’t nothin’ else I really need. But every year when the moth mating call comes along, I’m reminded of how lonely my life can be.

Then I meet Ollie, and a smidgen of somethin’ is growin’ like a breeze between us. I ain’t nothin’ special, though. Ollie cain’t possibly want me.

After all, I ain’t normal. Ollie’s a little strange, but their weird cain’t possibly match mine.

A shy flatwoods monster…

I finally return to life in West Virginia, where my kind first took root. Nothing’s worked out for me, and I’m ready for something less stressful and more peaceful.

I don’t expect to meet Glen, the sweet guy at the farmer’s market selling mouthwatering ramps, my favorite West Virginia specialty. I keep coming back for more, but Glen’s kind eyes and welcoming smile are just as alluring.

All I wanted was peace and quiet. I wasn’t looking for love, but it sneaked up on me out of the woods, and now I’m falling hard for Glen.

But I’m a cryptid, a frightening monster. There’s no way he’d still want me if he knew how weird I really am.

PUBLISHER: Self Published

LENGTH: 173 pages

RELEASE DATE: 8/31/2025

BLURB:

Theo Bennett doesn’t do relationships. Casual is easy, safe, expected. After years of keeping his walls high and his heart locked away, he’s got his system down—swipe, chat, repeat.

But then he meets Memphis.

Quiet, grounded, and still finding his way after coming out later in life, Memphis is everything Theo never looked for—and suddenly can’t get enough of. Their connection is instant, electric, and way too real. And real is where things get messy.

Theo knows how to protect himself. Memphis knows how to make him want to try anyway.

What starts as a no-strings hookup quickly spirals into something deeper, something dangerous…something neither of them is ready for but both of them need.

TITLE: Blood of the Moon

AUTHOR: Rory West

PUBLISHER: Self Published

LENGTH: 132 pages

RELEASE DATE: 8/31/2025

BLURB:

They were meant to die in the pits.

Instead, they became monsters the arena would never forget.

Theren, a betrayed werewolf prince, is chained beneath the arena and thrown to a starving vampire. But the bite that should’ve killed him awakens something older—something cursed. Now he and Mavros are bound by blood and venom, their bodies changing, their bond deepening in ways no wolf or vampire should survive.

And they’re not alone.

Caged beside them are other creatures the world would rather forget: a fallen angel forced to yield for the crowd, a demon who doesn’t know mercy, a dragon who aches to be bred, and fae who know how to weaponize want.

Their captors think they’re broken.

But love—feral, twisted, and forbidden—can be a brutal thing.

TITLE: Accidentally All Inclusive

AUTHOR: Jena Wade

SERIES: Beartastic Summer of Love

PUBLISHER: Self Published

LENGTH: 131 pages

RELEASE DATE: 8/31/2025

BLURB:

Westley just wanted to get away so his family would get off his back about needing a vacation. But when the overworked bear alpha shows up at his “all inclusive” resort and realizes the package includes an omega companion to satisfy every need… things get complicated fast.

Jules knew what he signed up for. He needed money, and a lot of it. Being a virgin companion at the all inclusive resort was the fastest way to make big money and this job is his last chance to get back on his paws.

Neither expected fated heat.

Neither planned for baby talks over breakfast.

And no one told them room service came with feelings.

TITLE: Taste Test

AUTHOR: Zane Menzy

PUBLISHER: Self Published

RELEASE DATE: 8/31/2025

BLURB:

When my straight roommate starts obsessing over a sexual fantasy, I never expected to become the solution.

Casey Walmsley just wanted a quiet life—cheap rent, a halfway-clean flat, and maybe the occasional glance at his impossibly hot, totally straight, rugby-playing roommate. No drama, no romance, and absolutely no taste-testing anyone’s bodily fluids.

Jared Sutherland had other ideas. After catching his girlfriend giving his best mate the kind of… ahem… appreciation she’d always sworn was ‘absolutely disgusting’ and refused to do for him, Jared’s ego is shattered and his obsession is born: someone, anyone, has to swallow for him, just once, or he’ll never feel like a real man again.

Now Casey is stuck being his flatmate’s sex therapist and reluctant experiment partner. What starts as a desperate attempt to shut Jared up (and down) quickly spirals out of control—leading to breakfast “protein shots,” and more tangled situations than a wonky rugby scrum.

Will Casey survive being Jared’s personal taste-tester with his dignity (and heart) intact? Or will this whole messy experiment turn into a mouthful neither of them can swallow?
