PUBLISHER: Kaye Klub Publishing
LENGTH: 243 pages
RELEASE DATE: 10/13/2025
BLURB:
Who’s gonna catch River when he runs amok? Maybe a burly truck driver who wants nothing to do with a young, wild, hard-headed rockstar?
River Ashe, lead guitarist for Accidental Fire, seems to run into trouble when his band is on the road without his famous father, Regal Ashe, or his brother, Skyler, who has returned to West Peoria, choosing the small-town life with his former football player husband, Sandy. Without Skyler around to be his conscience, River succumbs to the pitfalls of being twenty-one with no one to stop him from stumbling into trouble.
Christopher “Kit” Hansen, an over-the-road truck driver, is requested to be the equipment transport operator for Accidental Fire. Kit isn’t thrilled with the idea of signing on with a baby rock band on their first major tour. When the head of the band’s record label contacts him personally and asks for a favor—and adds a sweetener to the deal if Kit will quasi-babysit the band—Kit decides the headaches might be worth the drama.
But Kit doesn’t expect a brown-haired, blue-eyed gorgeous guitar player to steal his heart on this rock-and-roll odyssey. Will River’s youthful exuberance for performing in front of a live audience and his unending curiosity to experience everything that gets him into trouble be more drama than Kit is willing to tolerate? Will Kit’s strict rules provide the boundaries River’s seeking, or will River run in the opposite direction?

BLURB:
No one ever explained to me what to do when the man who took your virginity turns out to be the one in charge of your physical therapy.
NHL veteran Quinn Rhodes was supposed to be a one-time thing: just a hookup who kisses like a dream and screws like a god.
Then, three weeks later, a freak accident threatens to destroy my debut NHL career before it begins. And if almost losing my spot on my team wasn’t bad enough, I walk into my PT’s office and find him assigned to my recovery.
I can handle this, damn it. I can keep it professional.
And for a short while, it seems like Quinn’s willing to do the same. But it doesn’t take long for the two of us to shut our mouths and let our bodies do the talking.
If this was just physical, two guys scratching an itch, I could handle it. But deep down, I know there’s more to it.
These stolen moments between us mean something. After all, Quinn doesn’t smile for just anyone, and the way he holds me when our hookups are over tells me that this thing between us doesn’t have to end the moment my knee is healed.
The only question is, will either one of us be brave enough to take a shot on that goal?

It’s unprofessional to want him, but I can’t help myself…
Bento
Niran Chun is the quietest man I’ve ever known. He rarely says anything, and he’s strictly business.
When Rico brought me in off the streets and gave me a job as a member on his security team, Niran was the one to train me.
I thought my crush on Niran would go away over time. I thought I’d grow up, mature, and be able to forget about him.
But my feelings have only grown.
Revealing anything for Niran goes against my own code. I owe Rico my life, and getting involved with his personal guard / the head of his security is too much of a risk.
Besides, Niran feels nothing for me. He’s a soldier. That’s it.
At least, that’s what I believe until the day my entire world flips upside down.
Niran
Rico made me the head of his security and his personal bodyguard for a reason. I’m cold, calculating, and I can flip my emotions off like there’s a mere switch in my brain.
Until him. Bento Perez is the one thing I can’t turn off, no matter how much I want to.
I’m good at keeping what I feel for him hidden. I’m excellent at keeping my mask in place and treating him as an employee and coworker.
Until he risks his life to save Rico’s husband. Until he’s taken from me.
I’ll rip this world to pieces to find him again. And when I do…
I hope everyone who touches him knows what’s coming for them.
Because I’ll burn everything to the ground to save him.

Declan, Finley, Aquilan, Rhalyf, Elasha, Helgrom, Snaglak, and Glom all agree to track Darcassan and stop him from intruding on the Night King’s beloved city. For if an Aravae lord steals even a grain of sand from Xelroth Vex it could spell war between the Night and Sun Elves after millennia apart.

Declan Wilde suspects that there was something wrong with him. In the Under Dark, he will find out exactly what that is.
Finley seeks magic that humans can wield. Will he find it?
Aquilan is haunted by his parents’ deaths and his own spotty memory. Are the two connected?

Helgrom is returning to the Under Dark after many centuries or is it far longer than that?
Elasha must stand up to her twin. Can she do it? Or will she back down as always?

But one New Year’s Eve, in front of his entire team, a quiet contractor in flannel walked across the bar and kissed him at midnight. And Hog hasn’t been able to stop replaying it since.
Rhett Mason doesn’t do chaos, not anymore. He runs his father’s contracting shop, coaches kids’ hockey, and keeps his life steady in a town that once clipped his wings. But kissing Hog Hawkins wasn’t steady—it was reckless, brave, and exactly what he’s been denying himself for years.
The more time they spend together—coffee shop dates, youth practices, snowy walks overlooking the Sleeping Giant—the harder it is to keep their worlds separate. Hog’s learning that being wanted doesn’t mean being edited down, and Rhett’s discovering that Thunder Bay might still have beauty worth choosing.
But gossip spreads fast, playoffs demand blood, and Hog’s body can only take so many hits. When the noise cuts out, what’s left is the question neither man can avoid: are they strong enough to hold onto the real thing, even when it hurts?

Desperate to impress, Felix whips up a serum designed to boost his boldness. What he gets is Jax—a dangerously hot, ridiculously smooth alter-ego who turns heads, breaks hearts, and flirts like it’s a sport. Jax doesn’t just talk to Thorne—he seduces him. Fast.
Thorne’s hooked. But the closer Jax gets, the more tangled things become. Because juggling a double life is volatile, and Jax’s ego isn’t just a side effect—it’s a full-blown takeover. Felix is left wondering if Thorne’s falling for him… or the fantasy he created.

Each week has given them a chance to get to know each other better, and when an unexpected accident leads to a confession that brings one of them to his knees, the spark between them is undeniable. They’re already on their way to becoming better friends, so as long as they’re also attracted to each other, why stop at a few flirty conversations?

So when I come up with a wild, impossible revenge plan, there’s only one person I look for. One person unhinged enough to say yes when I ask him to marry me and ruin my family’s business deal. He can teach a good boy how to do bad things. He already owns me, body and soul.
The problem is, we’re both too broken to know when to stop. Our hearts are angry and possessive and foolish. And we might have chosen a battle that we can’t win without losing everything.

Now there’s a blackmailer on our trail, a target on my back, and the Kings think I’m the traitor. But if they want to come for me, they’ll have to get through him.
Because the soldier with the perfect posture and the unreadable eyes?
He’s not just protecting me anymore.
He’s falling for me.
And I’m going to ruin him for it.

Between the blood condition shortening his lifespan and his vampire hating, bible-thumping mother, Luis is not exactly a prime candidate for friendly vampire relations. But though anxiety rules most of Luis’s life, the last thing he wants is to be afraid to leave his house.
So, he applies to be the designated driver to a vampire couple for their nights out.
It turns out that Julien and Karim are nothing like the dangerous, Devil-worshipping demons that Luis’s mother swears will take advantage of him. They’re intelligent and funny, each kind in their own way, and Luis has started to count them as real friends. Knowing them has started to make Luis feel brave for the first time in his life.
Brave enough to wonder—if Luis can make friends with vampires… what else could he do?
