Danny’s quest for love soon steers him into unfamiliar territory, and before long he’s introduced to a powerful new addiction:

BLURB:
Byron, PhD student and waistcoat admirer, knows about yearning and betrayal. It’s been four years since the love of his life, Ruben, walked off without explanation. Byron dreams of midnight sex he can’t fully remember and a beloved man with dancing eyes. If only Ruben would return… But life moves on. At least it did until you-know-who unexpectedly pitches a tent in the garden, provoking ghosts from the past as well as Byron’s aching heart.
Ruben understands how to push Byron’s buttons. But he doesn’t know why someone is stalking them or why his memories are haunted by students playing a naked truth-dare game in an ancient room. What happened on the claw-marked table covered with crispy skin flakes?
Halloween draws close, and with it comes a rollercoaster ride of sex, fear, and love. At the back of their minds, a chilling, familiar voice reminds Byron and Ruben of a game from long ago and a pact that can’t be abandoned or left unfinished.
True love never dies.
TITLE: Bitter Burn
AUTHOR: Sierra Simone
PUBLISHER: No Bird Press
LENGTH: 530 pages
RELEASE DATE: 9/30/2025
BLURB:
I think it’s important that you know this about me, that you understand this: I’m not sorry.
I’d do it again.
After my husband died eight years ago, I made vengeance my only purpose, my religion, my destiny. But to get to my enemy, I had to make myself like him. He had a kingdom of secrets? Then I would make an empire. He had blood on his hands? Then I would bathe in it.
But Tristan and Isolde changed everything. I hadn’t counted on wanting them, needing them; I hadn’t counted on how it felt to watch the two of them fall in love. I’d thought I had everything under control—I’d thought I was safe from my own long-dead heart. I’d never imagined that the wronged husband, the jealous king from my childhood fairy tales, would be played by none other than me.
It no longer matters what I used to believe. My enemy is ready to finish the game, and for the first time in eight years, I have pieces on the board I can’t afford to lose. I’ll burn the entire world to keep Tristan and Isolde safe, I’ll scorch the earth—but as any good assassin will tell you, fire will only get a man so far, because there’s always something left in the ashes. And for the three of us, it’s the cold, bitter bones of the truth: their story begins and ends with me.
And every story needs a villain…

LENGTH: 290 pages
RELEASE DATE: 9/30/2025
BLURB:
For Bryce Derrickson, rejection is nothing new. He’s used to Broadway casting directors seeing his size and assuming he can’t be a graceful dancer. But getting dumped with no notice is a special kind of burn. At least his sweet dog Bobo still loves him.
As if being left without warning isn’t bad enough, Bryce’s ex sublets their apartment without telling him, leaving him without a place to live. When his new ‘roommate’ turns out to be a stuffy, elbow-patches-on-blazer, permanent-frown-on-face professor, Bryce is furious. No way will he give up his bohemian pad without a fight.
Years ago, Emerson Grant was on the fast track to being a preeminent scholar in his field, but his lack of people skills has kept him stuck at a commuter school in a cornfield. Landing a guest lecturing spot at a prestigious New York institution could be the jet fuel his career needs to finally take off. That is, if the man and dog blatantly squatting in his sublet don’t drive him bananas first.
Sharing a one-bedroom apartment with a stranger is a New York rite of passage. Sharing it with a stranger you might be falling for is something else entirely.

Adrian Elias Olsen crashed into my world like a wrecking ball—adventurous, carefree, and impossible to resist. He gave me a home, a family, and a place to belong.
Somewhere along the way, I gave him my heart… And now it’s too late to take it back.
I crave, and I yearn, and I ache, and I want.
Always.
All the time.
And he doesn’t have a clue.
I promised myself I’d get over him. The trip we take together is supposed to be the end—the last time he’s mine before I finally let him go.
But when paradise unexpectedly turns into purgatory, we’re forced to only rely on each other.
Suddenly, every glance lingers. Every touch burns. And the pull between us only grows stronger—dangerously so.
Because no matter how much I want him, I can’t have him.
In the real world, Adrian’s heart isn’t mine to keep.
In the real world, it already belongs to someone else.

It was never going to be just one night. Not when it burned this hot.
Firefighter Reece Morgan is the station flirt. Tattooed, reckless, and always up for a laugh or a hook-up. He’s made a name for himself across Worthbridge, and he’s fine with that. No strings. No drama. No need for more.
Until one heated night in a sauna changes everything.
Trent Lawson thought it would be just sex. One night to forget, to shut off the noise inside his head. But the fire Reece ignites won’t stop burning. Not in his skin. Not in his chest. Not when every emergency throws them back together, stoking something far deeper, and far more dangerous.
Reece isn’t used to caring. Not really. But Trent isn’t just another fling. Behind his sharp tongue and cool control, Reece sees the exhaustion, the cracks, the way Trent’s numbing himself with all the wrong things. And for once, Reece doesn’t want to walk away. He wants to fight. For Trent. For every kiss denied and every glance that means too much.
But when the flames turn deadly and the danger hits close to home, Trent must face the past he’s been running from and decide if Reece is the one thing worth stepping into the fire for.
Because in Worthbridge, sparks are flying.
And some flames are worth the fight.

Never believe the rumors.
SAMUEL
I’ve always wanted to leave Red Creek, go to college, and live somewhere I wouldn’t be judged for simply being myself. But then I met Benji on my first day at the farm, and everything changed. Benji wasn’t the kind of guy I was supposed to hang around with. At least, that’s what everyone kept telling me. He had a reputation, a bad attitude, and a chip on his shoulder big enough for the whole town. Yet, every time I ran into him, I didn’t see a thug. I saw someone who stood up for himself and the people he cared about. And even though I should’ve known better, I wanted to become one of those people.
BENJI
I didn’t have anything against Samuel when we first met. He kept his head down and did what he was told. Why should I have cared what people whispered when most of them were full of shit anyway? But once he started talking about college, and I found out he lived in his own apartment—paid for by his parents—I saw red. Was this job on the farm just a cute story he would laugh about with his future professors? I wanted to hate him for turning my reality into a joke. And I almost did. I even planned a prank. But the second I set it into motion, I realized I was wrong—and that I was about to hurt the only person who had ever truly seen me for who I was.

It’s my last season playing college hockey, and I’m determined to help get the team all the way to championships this year. Unfortunately, whether I actually get to be on the ice depends on how well I do in statistics.

Magic isn’t real, is it?
Parker’s intuition has been itching for months—no, it’s probably closer to years—telling him something isn’t quite right in Willow Lake. But sometimes it’s safer to ignore the feeling than expose truths you don’t want to face. Especially when Levi, the handsome and beefy owner of the local motel, is right in the middle of all the weirdness.
Okay, okay.
Parker might have an itty-bitty crush on the big guy, but who can blame him? Levi is delicious… and as the owner of a café, Parker knows a thing or two about tasty treats.
And now Parker’s Nana is in town and she hasn’t come alone. She’s dragged his cousin and his paranormal investigative team along with her. But her arrival couldn’t have come at a worse time, because Parker was finally making progress with Levi.
Now what is he supposed to do? Because, for the record, it is incredibly difficult to flirt when your grandmother is eyeing everyone, including Levi, like she’s in the FBI and they are in the Mafia… or like she’s Van Helsing hunting down a bunch of powerful supernatural beings.
Because that’s ridiculous. Really.
Right?

Theo is the love of my life, but I can’t tell him. Only a few people know I’m gay, and he isn’t one of them. We’ve been best friends since we were sixteen, and he’s my everything. The thought of losing him terrifies me. He’s the sunshine in a life filled with pain from my mother and her awful boyfriends. When Theo rescues me from Louie, my mom’s latest dirtbag boyfriend, and we end up cozy in his bed, things start to shift. Could he feel the same way about me as I do about him? Theo—the girl-crazy party boy with a joke for every occasion? He couldn’t… could he?

I’m in trouble. My best friend is lying right next to me, and I can’t ignore how I feel. The more I think about Asher, the more I realize I’ve always been drawn to him. From the moment I saw him as a scared sixteen-year-old rookie for the Vipers, I felt a pull. I thought I admired him for being smart and funny with those crazy red curls I love to tease him about. But I can’t stop staring at his freckles. I can’t help but get lost in his emerald green eyes. When I learn someone has been hurting him, I lose it. Asher is mine, or at least I want him to be. But what if he’s not gay? And if he is, what if he doesn’t love me back? Why is this so complicated!

One restaurant that might just cook up the love of a lifetime.
Ben Whitaker is done with high-stakes deals and soulless late nights in Melbourne’s corporate jungle. He moves to Adelaide for a fresh start, convinced that buying a cozy neighbourhood restaurant will mean peace, quiet, and control.
Instead, he gets Franco Rossi.
Franco is pure chaos, a whirlwind waiter with cheekbones, charm, and a big heart. He believes everyone deserves a perfect love story… except, apparently, himself.
Ben lives by rules and spreadsheets. Franco lives by gut feelings and grand gestures. The last thing either of them expects? Instant, electric chemistry that sizzles hotter than the kitchen’s stovetop.
As Franco crashes into Ben’s neatly ordered life with flirtatious smiles and late-night tiramisu, Ben’s icy walls start to crumble. But opening up means risking everything—his pride, his plans, and the carefully guarded heart he’s kept under lock and key.
In a world of wine-stained confessions, stolen glances, and found family, Ben and Franco will have to decide: can they turn this unexpected spark into something real… or will their differences tear them apart before dessert?
Will Ben let the sunshine slip through his fingers?

A fallen champion risks everything for love with the doctor who holds his career—and his heart—in his hands.
Former Formula 1 championship contender Jackson “Jax” West is running out of chances. Two years after a catastrophic crash, he’s been relegated to an outlier team, dismissed by his tyrannical father, and haunted by demons that threaten to end his career for good. When he seeks anonymous escape in the exclusive thermal spas of Baden-Baden, the last thing he expects is to find solace in the arms of a mysterious stranger whose touch promises healing he never thought possible.
Dr. Luca Rossi has built his reputation as the FIA’s leading sports psychology consultant on two principles: heal traumatized drivers and stay far away from his powerful racing family’s influence. But when fate forces him to psychologically evaluate the very man he shared one perfect, forbidden night with, every boundary he’s ever maintained shatters. Worse yet, Jax West is exactly the kind of damaged driver Luca has dedicated his career to saving.
As Luca uncovers the devastating truth about Jax’s hidden brain injury—a neurological deficit that makes racing lethally dangerous—he faces an impossible choice: report his findings and destroy the man he’s falling for, or risk everything to train around the damage. Their secret pact creates a dangerous web of mutual blackmail, professional ruin, and a love that grows stronger with every stolen moment.
But in the ruthless world of premier motorsports, secrets don’t stay buried. When family legacies, medical ethics, and million-dollar careers collide, Jax and Luca must decide what matters more: the dreams that have defined them, or the love that could destroy them both.

Last year, my band, Grindstone, hit the stage at Rocktoberfest, our big break at last. But in the middle of that triumph, my love life crashed into disaster. I’ve been in love with Hugo Threadgold for years, but he was once my high school music teacher, so I figured he was off-limits. Then, in Black Rock, I discovered he was aware of me too, and for a moment I thought I’d get it all. I came clean about my feelings, but my heart cracked when Hugo turned and walked away. I’m not giving up, though. I’m ready to lose my straight-guy image for him, if only I can make him believe in us.

Ten years ago, Axel and his best friend, Ed, were my most promising students. I taught them everything I could about music, and watched them struggle to become the musicians they are today. But boys become men, and last October in Nevada, Axel told me he’d developed romantic feelings for me. I was rattled. I’d never let myself look at him that way. Now that he’s put the idea in my head, I can’t get him out of my mind. The man he’s become is someone strong and talented, determined and attractive. Someone I could fall for. But isn’t it my duty to keep things professional and walk away from the man who tempts me as no one else ever has?
