BLURB:
Sometimes the one-night stand you meet at a bar on the outskirts of town shows up at your house a month later to reveal he’s the one man you were never supposed to touch.
My friends are all I have, so I’d rather lose my other leg than do anything to hurt them. But how was I supposed to know the bearded stranger at the bar that night was the one person who hurt my best friend beyond repair?
I never would have known who Killian was if he hadn’t turned up at my door a month after our little tryst. But here he is, on my doorstep, with nowhere to go and a sob story that wounds my already bleeding heart.
I should turn him away, but I can’t. Killian makes me feel things I’ve never felt before.
And he’s the first man to ever look at me like I’m a whole person and not just shattered pieces from a bad accident and a broken family.
How can I give that up?
My only job should be to protect my best friend, but the heart wants what the heart wants. All I can hope is that in the end, when truths are finally revealed, I won’t have lost the only people who love me for exactly who I am.

BLURB:
Camden Crawford knows how to take a hit.
As the thirtysomething captain of the Exeter Seagulls, he’s built a career on strength, silence, and shielding his emotions as ruthlessly as he does his teammates. But when an injury rocks his team—and a series of frustrating media storms threaten to unravel his legacy—Cam finds himself one mistake away from losing everything he’s worked for. The last thing he needs is a distraction.
Enter Brent Parks: sunshine in tattooed skin, newly settled in Exeter, and a little too perceptive for Cam’s comfort.
Brent came to England chasing purpose. What he didn’t expect was a brooding rugby player with eyes like winter and walls like stone. But the chemistry? Immediate. Irresistible. And very, very mutual. Brent isn’t afraid to get under Camden’s skin—and he’s definitely not afraid to stay there.
When a one-time tattoo consult turns into stolen kisses, slow mornings, and a summer of something that feels a lot like more, both men are forced to face the truth: Falling for each other wasn’t in the game plan—and neither is what happens when the spotlight turns on their relationship.
With mounting pressure, cross-continental tours, and past insecurities clawing their way to the surface, Camden has to decide if love is a risk he’s finally ready to take. And Brent? He’s ready to prove that he’s not just a distraction—he’s the reason to stay.

There are worse things than dying.
For Finn Truitt, waking up in the Underworld as a vampire is much more concerning than the fact that he died. Twice. With no memory of either event, he’s getting a crash course in what it means to be an Otherling, a nightwalker, and well…dead.
Patrolling the Village, settling disputes, and guiding new souls across the river passes the time, but even that can’t distract him from a certain human with sad eyes and a sharp tongue.
Most people don’t get a second chance, let alone a third, and Noah Marsh isn’t about to waste his. Besides, not much has changed besides his location—and his growing obsession with the new guy in town.
He doesn’t do commitment, and he’s not looking for forever, but Finn is different. Not only does he have Noah questioning everything he thought he wanted…
But also what he’s willing to do to keep it.

You’ll meet teenage frenemies to 30-something lovers Dion and Benji in Something About Us (MM) which features a mixed-race trans MC and a white MC with chronic illness (Crohn’s/stoma bag). In The To-Screw List (FF) best friends Amber and Jade make a sex-pact to be each other’s firsts at well, almost everything, but they’re absolutely NOT allowed to catch feelings. Ash and Luke are the thyroid-cancer-research academic heroes of STEM forbidden romance Experimental Affection (MX) which also features chronic illness rep (migraine disease) and a whole lot of should-we-shouldn’t-we tension! Love on the Airwaves (FFM) featuring Gabby, Stephanie and Adrian, is a short-story teaser for a workplace romance with pansexual and hearing loss rep. In Petty Roots (XX) two grumpy enbies, Eris and Blake, become fake wedding dates for an ex’s wedding and it turns out all these queer idiots needed was a road trip to a small town to realise how much they have in common. In Lattes and Plot Twists (FF), you’ll enjoy the best friend’s sister trope, dyslexia and social anxiety rep, and a whole ton of sapphic mutual pining between Em and Holly! Kami and Evan are the hot bisexual neighbours in Good Things Come in Unexpected Packages (MF) where Kami teaches Evan all about books, and more! We have Iris, an author dating for research in Doing It For the Plot (FX) only to realise their one true love, Hazel, was a lot closer than they thought. And in high-heat Caught in the Middle (MMF), (a different!) Gabby has to work closely — very closely — with rivals Shane and Luca on a project that quickly becomes much more than a working relationship.

Cal
Our new detective agency isn’t exactly booming, and I can’t quite tell whether it’s because we’re three strange men trying to solve others’ problems or the pig.
It might be the pig.
Of course, nothing can ever be simple for too long with Felix and Lane around. When Grayson–a man I used to work with–calls, everything is thrown out of control. I’d been willing to give him my heart once, but after my world was shattered by outside forces, I’m not sure there’s any heart left to give. But life for someone like me doesn’t stay quiet… though maybe quiet isn’t what I need. Maybe someone to pull me out of my past and push me toward our future is who I’ve been waiting for all along.
Grayson
I’m determined to clean up the past and make Cal’s life better, even if he has no idea what I’m doing… even if he’s determined to never speak to me again. Yet when events lead us together, I can’t stop myself from being overwhelmingly happy to be in his presence again. He might believe that he’s a bad guy, but I see him for the amazing, kind, and funny person he is. But first we have to end the past that’s been haunting both of us once and for all. Thankfully, he’s going to be right by my side as we do it.
But why did the pig have to come along?

Through the years, Nash Miller has watched all his buddies fall in love and get married. It was romantic, and he’d wondered when he himself would find the one. Now, older, wiser, he realizes that what he’s always wanted—a husband and a family—just isn’t in the cards for him. And that’s all right. He has wonderful friends, a good life, and he gets to help people, which has always been his true calling. So when the time comes to protect a family in a tiny town in Washington State, he’s more than willing to get on his white horse and ride.
The family needs a bodyguard, but it goes beyond that. The mother abandoned them for a new life, and the father is absent, stuck on a work project he took on to keep his family afloat. What Nash finds are three kids in need of a fixer, and lucky for them, that’s exactly what he does. Providing support and structure is second nature to him, and he’s on solid ground, confident…until their father, Luke Duchesne, gets home. He’s nothing like Nash assumed he’d be, and with each passing day, the lure of the man, and his great kids, gets harder to resist. But he can’t stay there. He’s a fixer, after all, and what they’re all feeling is simply gratitude. Isn’t it…? Though when Luke kisses him, it starts to feel like so much more. Nash hopes he’ll be able to explore a life with Luke—he just needs to make sure his own isn’t cut short.

As a single guy in professional hockey, my life has been about what you’d expect: hockey and girls, emphasis on the girls. And Logan, of course. He’s my best friend, my teammate, and the person who knows me better than anyone.
When a night on the road ends with us in bed, I don’t know how to explain it. I told myself it was a one-time thing, but it happened again. And again. Now I want more.
If I admit I’m falling for Logan, what does that mean? Everything changes: my identity, my public image, my entire life. But pretending it’s nothing gets harder with every kiss, every touch.
Logan
Riley’s younger and straight. Off-limits. At least that’s what I told myself when the feelings crept in.
Now we’re sleeping together, and I want this more than I should. Not just his body, but his heart, his trust, and his future.
But Riley’s confused, and I don’t want to push him. If he chooses me, it has to be real. If not, I’ll lose the man I love, my best friend, and maybe the only chance I’ll have at forever.

BLURB:
He talks people off the ledge, but when the danger turns personal, he’s forced to face the one thing he’s never been able to handle—himself.
As a crisis counselor, Miles McCabe is calm under pressure, fluent in other people’s trauma, and pretty damn good at pretending he has his own life together.
Sarcasm helps. But when a chilling voicemail lands in his private inbox—referencing a case he’s never been able to forget—Miles can’t laugh this one off.
The caller knows things they shouldn’t. About the client. About Miles. About what really happened.
The death was ruled a suicide. Miles filed it away with all the other losses he couldn’t save. Until now.
New clues suggest it was something else entirely—and someone wants Miles to follow the breadcrumbs.
Enter Rowan Ashcroft—ex-behavioral analyst, dedicated podcaster, and a man who refuses to let sleeping cases lie. He sees through every deflection Miles has perfected. He’s also the most infuriating man Miles has ever wanted to both strangle and kiss.
Rowan believes the case is part of a pattern, and that Miles holds the missing piece. As they dig deeper, the connections turn personal—and the danger ramps up. What started as a whisper from the past becomes a full-blown hunt for a killer who’s been hiding in plain sight.
The McCabe brothers are no strangers to high-stakes threats, but this time, it’s Miles’s turn in the spotlight. And if he wants to survive, he’ll have to do the one thing he swore he’d never do: let someone in.

Diego
Losing your sight at the age of ten was not fun. Losing your best friend was even worse. Not every kid befriended the monster under their bed, but Shade hadn’t been a monster. He’d been sweet, kind, and the best friend I’d ever had. He’d also saved my life.
I’d thought I would never ‘see’ him again, but then the thing that kept me safe and stopped me from getting hurt started tugging me somewhere, and following its pull led me straight to Shade. Finding him again was nothing short of a miracle, and there was no way I was letting him go again.
Shade
Living in the Sanctuary was great. I had a place of my own, and I didn’t have to be afraid of light, or the pain it would cause me. I was safe, if a little lonely. I had friends, but none as close as the one I’d once had, even if he’d been just a child.
When Diego walked right into my home one day out of nowhere, I was afraid I was dreaming. But he was really there, had been led to me by my own shadows that’d stayed with him years ago. I’d never thought we would meet again, and I’d never imagined he would grow up into such a good-looking man.

He has loftier goals in mind and with his eyes on making his training program even better, he’ll deal with self-important people.
Carter Cahill has money to burn and he’s not above using it to get what he wants. Now that he’s in a new stage of life, and looking for a brand new adventure, he contracts with Hawk to first find and then train him the perfect horse. While Hawk’s age comes as a surprise, it’s the man’s prickly attitude that puts Carter on the defensive. The men butt heads from the start and it seems their working relationship will be strained.
Hawk’s past colors his perception of Carter and it doesn’t help that Carter enjoys pushing the younger man’s buttons. But the more time they spend together, and learn about each other, the more apparent their attraction becomes. Communication between them isn’t always easy, but slowly and surely, they find their way from adversaries to friends to, most importantly, lovers.
Even though Hawk can be as skittish as some of the horses he trains, Carter works hard to earn his trust. But what he really wants is to earn Hawk’s heart.

Hudson
Give me the smallest reason to make a bad decision, and I’ll jump in with both feet. Case in point: thinking that drunkenly buying an abandoned town with my brothers is a good idea.
As builders, we plan to renovate and flip the town, maybe turn it into something worth seeing, but the longer we’re here, the more things feel … off.
It’s not until a bearded mountain man breaks into my room in the middle of the night and threatens for us to get out of his town that I realize Wilde’s End isn’t as abandoned as we were told.
But there’s nothing waiting for me in the life I left behind, and in making his demands, Wilde has accidentally tapped into my competitive side.
Terrible decisions? Me?
Wilde can bring it on.
Wilde
I escaped to Wilde’s End twenty years ago, and since then I’ve dedicated my life to the town and the people who live there. Because if I focus on others, I don’t have the time or energy to face everything I’ve been running from.
The Bellamy brothers coming to town is like three horsemen of the goddamn apocalypse. They leave destruction in their wake, and when the eldest, Hudson, ignores my very kind request to leave, it’s time to take things into my own hands. Protecting this town is all I know how to do.
But I’ve never faced someone like Hudson.
His stubbornness matches mine, and his attitude has an irritating way of worming under my skin. The more I push him, the harder he pushes back, until we’re locked in a game neither of us will walk away from.
With his smart mouth, bullheaded recklessness and those damn eyelashes I’m starting to question whether I can win this one.
But if I lose, this town isn’t the only thing on the line.

That is, up until my path crosses with his. Quinn. He has fallen in with the twins, fallen far too deep, and though the fights he participates in may help him work through his anger and fear and grief, I cannot help the ominous feeling that whatever deal he has struck will only end poorly.
I should not care. Quinn is simply another wolf, young and vulnerable, one from whom I should keep my distance.
But instincts run deep, and my need to care for this pup runs even deeper than that. He may be everything I have not allowed myself to hope for, but to realise that dream, I truly must risk all that I am.
What choice will I make when his bargain is broken?
What will I sacrifice to save him?

My time as an outlaw in Sherwood Forest was meant to end the day I chose to lay down the hood. Instead, it was ripped away from me as Little John and I were hurled into an unfamiliar world. Together, we adapted and built new lives.
Five years later, the past finds me again. Henry, the Sheriff I once fought and then abandoned, is back, and his hatred burns even hotter than before.
Beneath it, I feel the spark of something more dangerous. The fire between us was once rivalry. Now, it’s desire. I can’t fight it, so I guess I’ll let it burn me alive.

For years, I hunted Robin Hood. He was a thief and my obsession, the thorn in my side. Then the world shifted beneath us, and I was alone. No crown to serve. No purpose. That loneliness hollowed me out until nothing remained, not even the Sheriff.
After five years, hatred should have been enough. Revenge should have been sweet. But with every taste of his defiance, his smile, the way he dares me without fear, it all starts to feel like a lie.
Hatred drove me to find him. Desire lured me deeper. I don’t know which one will destroy me first.

Okay, maybe not the end, but I’d always felt too exposed around Wade, and no wonder. He was perfect.

I’d be his captive in a remote cabin in freaking Alaska until he gave up and realized I couldn’t be saved.
All I had to do was keep my mouth shut and not fall in love with him again.
