BLURB:
Twenty-four-year-old Welsh Canadian poet Reg is struggling to finish his MFA while in the grips of writer’s block. His best friend, Martin, attempting to get him out of his head and needing a wingman, convinces him to come to his crush’s party. What Reg doesn’t anticipate is meeting the crush’s eighteen-year-old brother, Joel, a first-year premed student whose perfect self-possession gets right up Reg’s nose.
But, like sand in an oyster, Joel’s irritating presence has a productive effect on Reg, and suddenly, he’s writing poetry again (still irritated, but writing). Joel’s self-assurance, however, is an act; the pressure of school and family expectation have rendered him so tightly wound he’s about to snap, and when Joel finally comes apart, there’s no one to help put him back together. Except Reg.
If Reg were any further up himself, he’d disappear, but he finds that he can’t stand by and watch his muse suffer. And he discovers that this more vulnerable Joel opens his heart.
But this new relationship threatens Reg’s friendship with Martin, as Martin’s crush (now girlfriend) believes Reg is taking advantage of her baby brother.
Reg must choose: Give up Joel or lose Martin, his best and only friend.

By the way, have you noticed the handsome boy who keeps chatting with me after school?
There’s more. By night, I’m a spy on a mission, strong and essential, see? Some call it dreaming, but I know better. My assignment is to track two people who are trapped inside a skyscraper. I’m scared, and so are they. What if I’m not brave enough to save them?
So, yeah, things are tricky in both worlds. Two realities and a lot of questions are about to collide, and when they do, nothing can prevent the truth from spilling out. What’s inside the heart of a skyscraper? I’m about to find the answer. See you on the other side.

The man is an antagonizing menace. How their clients actually believe they’re into each other is beyond him. It’s just some hand holding…until it isn’t.

At six-and-a-half feet tall, Luke should be impossible to miss. Instead, he’s spent his life being overlooked, dismissed, forgotten. So when brilliant, magnetic Jaime starts pursuing him with unusual intensity, Luke doesn’t question it. He’s just grateful someone finally sees him.
What Luke doesn’t know is that Jaime shares his body and consciousness with Alex—his headmate, protector, and the man he’s loved for eleven years. What Luke can’t see is that when Jaime looks at him, he’s seeing someone else entirely.
Because Luke looks exactly like Alex would if he had his own body.
As Jaime becomes obsessed with touching Alex through Luke’s skin, their perfect bond begins to fracture. Alex watches helplessly as the man he loves betrays what they’ve built together. And Luke falls deeper for someone who’s using his body to love a ghost.
When the truth comes out, it will destroy everything they thought they knew about love, identity, and what it means to be real.

AUTHOR: Jay Hogan
SERIES: Fisher & Church #2
PUBLISHER: Southern Lights Publishing
LENGTH: 347 pages
RELEASE DATE: 9/4/2025
BLURB:
The nightmare is over. Or so I keep telling myself. Bruised and battered, we’d narrowly escaped with our lives. I should be grateful. Grateful that my captors are in custody. Grateful that the chilling, roller-coaster of events actually brought Nick and me closer. Grateful that we’ve finally taken a step toward something more than friendship. And I am, grateful.
But life isn’t simple.
Relationships need work.
And peace of mind is elusive in the face of unbearable guilt.
Because I’m the one who unravelled the puzzle. The one responsible for sending a young man back to a life he thought he’d escaped forever. Until I know he’s safe; until I’ve done everything I can to fix what happened, there will be no pretending I’ve done my bit. No leaving it up to the authorities. I can’t forget and move on. Not in my job. Not in my life. And certainly not in my fledgling romance with Nick Fisher who stormed into my heart with a truckload of his own issues.
The fate of a young man isn’t the only thing at stake. The quest for truth will push us to our limits. And the biggest question of all—do Nick and I have what it takes to survive the answers.

AUTHOR: Sam Burns
SERIES: Knight & Daywalker #1
PUBLISHER: Self Published
LENGTH: 259 pages
RELEASE DATE: 9/4/2025
BLURB:
Flynn Knight is the only (and frankly, impossible) child of the leader of the vampires in Los Angeles. He’s also a bit of a scatterbrain, a thirty-something manchild, and a private investigator. When one of his mother’s political frenemies gets killed and she asks him to investigate, he’s put between a rock—her—and a hard place—the fact that not a single vampire in the city will believe the answers he finds without impressive proof to back him up.
Combine that with an eighty-thousand-dollar bill he has no idea how he’s going to pay, a hit and run that has landed him a victim of the cat distribution system, and his mother trying to foist a new business partner off on him, and his life is way more complicated than he likes.
At least his new partner is nice to look at, even if he’s the weirdest vampire ever, who doesn’t seem to follow any of the usual vampire rules.
Also, why won’t this kitten stop eating?

Grief led him to a small town. Love found him there.
Gideon Raines has been running for years—from guilt, from grief, from the night that stole his twin brother and shattered what was left of his family. With nothing but a duffel bag and nowhere else to go, he ends up in Foggy Basin, a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it town where the locals are nosy, the diner coffee is strong, and the new vet is way too handsome for Gideon’s peace of mind.
Dr. Malcolm Jones traded city chaos for small-town calm a year ago, buying the local vet clinic and trying to rebuild a quieter life. He’s smart, private, and firmly straight—or so he thought. When a down-on-his-luck drifter with haunted eyes stumbles into his clinic and unexpectedly saves the day, Malcolm offers him a job… and maybe something more.
Gideon doesn’t plan to stay. Malcolm doesn’t know if he can risk his heart again. But the more time they spend together, the harder it is to ignore the slow, relentless heat building between them—aching, undeniable, and oh-so-dangerous.

SERIES: Saddle Up
PUBLISHER: Self Published
RELEASE DATE: 9/5/2025
BLURB:
What’s a man gotta do to get some relief around here?
Clearly I didn’t know the answer anymore.

It’s been the longest dry spell of my life, and I nearly lost my mind over it.
When tasked with helping out at the rodeo, I agreed simply for the change of setting.
The minute I arrived, I knew my problem wasn’t as permanent as I thought.
My body woke up the minute I saw him.
Anders Blaze.
He scowled at me.
He grumbled about me staying in his home.
He claimed to want to avoid me, yet he continued to pop up everywhere I turned.
If I’d learned anything in my thirty some odd years of life, it was to trust my gut.
And my gut said Anders was mine.
Being with him wouldn’t be easy.
It would surely stir up trouble.

He’s intoxicating. An addiction I can’t seem to get enough of. And every time he denies the fiery passion simmering between us, it fuels my obsession. He makes me feel safe, appreciated, and worthy. He makes me feel seen, and I want to return the favor. Working for Mavik means I know everything about him. I see him…
But do I really? One night, I see everything I didn’t realize I was missing. I witness something so horrifying that I should run the other way. I can’t let history repeat itself.
Instead, I’m questioning good versus evil. My sanity and morals are being tested as I’m drawn into a world of forbidden desires. Mavik says we would never work because, while I’m the light, his soul is pure black.

Other days, it’s hard to ignore how Crew might want something easier for him and his son, a future without hotel rooms, stadium lights, and road games.
When Grady’s mom gets into a car accident, everything becomes more uncertain. None of us know if she’s going to make it, and I can’t stop thinking about the choices Crew may need to make and what that’ll mean for us. If he walks away from the game to focus on his son, I’m not sure if there’s still a place in his world for someone who’s gone half the season.

RELEASE DATE: 9/7/2025
BLURB:
To say Ricky is having a bad year is an understatement. All his friends have found their happily ever afters, but he’s discovered his boyfriend is the latest in a long line of men who cheat. When his best friends get married, Ricky swaps his shift with another flight attendant and heads to Sydney to get away, only for that plane to crash on takeoff, and while he’s recovering from his injuries, his landlord evicts him.
In need of a fresh start, Ricky buys a first class ticket to Ibiza with his life savings, and vows things will be different. Starting with his name. Ricky made the reservation, but it’s Adrian who’s going to lie in the sun, meet gorgeous men, and make better choices. It’s Adrian who’s going to have a fabulous time without losing his heart to the next pretty face. If he can fly without a panic attack. Sleeping pills help, but when he wakes in London being carried from the plane by a gorgeous man who then brings him to his private suite in the first class lounge, Adrian wonders if he’s woken up in a fairy tale. And when Ren asks Adrian to accompany him to the Maldives on his luxury yacht, Adrian is sure there’s a catch.
His Royal Highness Prince Henri Renard Sebastian de Montclair is no one’s fairy tale. A playboy prince who’s on all the sexiest men lists, he revels in fabulous parties, premium liquor, the latest fashions, and a carefully cultivated bad-boy image that often leaves his father repairing the damage. When the paparazzi catch Ren in a swoony kiss with his best friend Maurice instead of his fiancé, it’s one debauchery too far. With threats of rehab hanging over his head, Ren accepts his father’s punishment: bring the royal yacht from Ibiza to the Maldives. Without friends. Without alcohol. Without complaints.
Trouble finds him on board the plane leaving LA in the form of a stunning green-eyed redheaded man seated across from him. A thwarted attempt at the mile-high club leaves Ren wanting more, but when they land, he discovers there’s a lot more going on with Adrian than he initially thought. And for some reason, Ren isn’t willing to walk away without knowing more.
