I challenge him one day to show himself. And show himself he does.

I have the most ridiculous crush on Briar, a customer who frequents my café. We never run out of things to talk about, and I find myself looking forward to his visits.
Just when I’m about to ask him on a date, he shows up at Sip and Savor with none other than my twin, who beat me to the punch. Definitely not how I hoped things would go.
Except my brother isn’t the settling-down type, so three months into dating Briar, he chooses the worst time to dump him—right before Christmas and straight after Briar asks Nathan to accompany him home for the holidays.
As I try to console Briar, he surprises me by cooking up a plot straight out of the movies, where I go home to Maine with him, pretending to be his boyfriend.
It’s supposed to be a friendly favor, I get a trip to the perfect Christmas town, and Briar can save face with his family and childhood ex. Only just like back in Boston, we have fun together, get each other, and I swear the spark I always felt between us grows.
But how does a guy tell his twin’s ex that he’s had feelings for him all along? And can what starts out as a holiday exchange turn into the perfect happily ever after?

Maybe Tyler’s the one who needs company anyway. After all, he’s been mooning over his neighbor, Anthony, for months. Suddenly, when he’s out walking Daisy, his little ice-breaker, Anthony approaches him about attending his law firm’s Christmas event—as Anthony’s date.

It’s been three years since former hockey player Devon Hughes dried out, hung up his skates, and started raising wool sheep. Now he’s driving home from Christmas shopping in a snowstorm and happens across a stranded motorist. What kind of monster would he be if he didn’t stop?
When the weather turns, Noah Bell is returning to his roots after a short stint in pro hockey, a slightly longer stint in higher education, and a failed relationship. He’s convinced he’s going to freeze to death in a rest stop on I-75 until a stranger shows up to rescue him. At least if he goes home with this guy, he’ll be warm before he can get ax-murdered. Except it turns out he and Devon have more in common than just not being serial killers. If they can get past the panic and sheep calm, maybe this Christmas they’ll get their merry on.

BLURB:
Isaac Browning is the picture of a melancholy widower, knitting to soothe his sorrows. One day, his neighbor’s handsome grandson, Luca, asks him an innocent question: Why does knitting that sweater make your face scrunch up like that?
The answer pours out: Isaac is drowning in bitterness, stuck reliving the death throes of his failed marriage and the twist of fate that kept him from fixing his own life before his late husband’s death spared him the trouble.
Luca has always been the king of “I got this.” From getting kicked out of the house at eighteen to starting his own business or taking care of his awesome grandparents, Luca has taken what life throws at him. But Luca’s suddenly single sister is going to have a baby, and Isaac and his yarny hobby are an unexpected godsend. In spite of Isaac’s issues, he’s really amazing company.
Together, the two men start an unlikely friendship. Luca thinks Isaac is a sweetly chaotic mess, and Isaac is utterly smitten with Luca’s kindness, but they both need to straighten out their own lives before they can start something real. Except life is seldom that neat and tidy. Life is a messy yarn box of a thousand colors—bossy students, pregnant sisters, awesome friends, and the best (and worst) of family knit themselves into a tapestry that binds the two men together. Then the cosmic cat distribution system provides Isaac with a catnip-addicted orange kitty as the first step in building a life that’s uniquely his own. With a little bit of growing and some help from Euclid, Luca and Isaac learn that something real is what you make of it, and with a little bit of elbow grease, the possibilities are as sturdy and as beautiful as their wildest dreams.

After she accidentally falls off the famous Old Bridge, Franka is rescued by Mirna, a wickedly intelligent, but exasperated teenager obsessed with cliff diving.
Despite training all her life and frequently besting her peers, being a girl means Mirna can never participate in the centuries-old tradition of diving off the Old Bridge. But stubborn and determined Mirna won’t give up so easily.
After Franka’s near-perfect accidental dive, Mirna reluctantly takes on the challenge of teaching her all she knows about cliff diving. If Franka and Mirna want to compete, they must enact their unorthodox plan to take down the patriarchal system forbidding them from diving. Falling in love was never part of the plan.

BLURB:
When control slips and chaos calls, some collisions are inevitable.
Cade Cormier is a brilliant quantum mechanics professor who can easily explain how energy behaves in the universe. But he can’t explain its absence within himself. Numbness has become his only constant, and he’s chased every force he can find to push back against it. But when drinking and self-destruction leave him emptier than ever, a different kind of force comes crashing into his orbit, and sets a collision in motion.
Alder Roy has spent his life balancing control with chaos—and bleeding for both. As Vice President of New Brunswick’s outlaw motorcycle club, the Basin Kings, he’s built his reputation on fear, loyalty, and danger. But when a rival club starts pushing in, threatening to drown the province in the kind of violence the Kings don’t want on their soil, Alder is prepared to do whatever it takes to protect what’s his. And that includes Cade.
As Cade’s hunger for danger grows, Alder’s obsession with him deepens, and each crack in Cade’s walls gives Alder more to protect… and more to lose. One fights to hold his world together while the other tears his apart—each driven by forces they can’t control.
In New Brunswick, where powerful tides transform landscapes in hours, winding roads cut through unforgiving forests, and cliffs crumble, nature doesn’t wait for permission—and neither can they.
They could be the force that holds each other up against the pull of destruction.
They just need to find balance in the collision.

Theo and Caden were never supposed to fall in love.
Best friends. Teammates. Just two boys from a small South Carolina town trying to make it out. But in secret, between late-night drives and stolen glances, they became everything to each other—first kiss, first love, first heartbreak.
Then came the night that changed everything.
One mistake. One moment.
And in its aftermath, Caden lost more than the boy who once held his heart.
Fifteen years later, Theo’s still in Gomillion, teaching English at their old high school and trying to forget the one person he’s never stopped loving. Caden rebuilt his life on the other side of the country, turning pain into purpose as an adaptive fitness trainer. He’s successful, admired—and utterly alone.
When a high school reunion pulls Caden back to the place he never planned to return, both men are forced to face the ghosts they’ve carried for years. Regret. Guilt. And the kind of love that never really fades.
Their story began in a town too small to hold it.
This time, Theo’s not letting it end there.

I came for the contract. I stayed for a man who makes me disregard every rule I’ve ever known.
Lucas Hopkins
I’ve given everything to hockey — skipped college, left friends behind, all for a shot at the pros and a spot next to my brother. The contract is within reach. No distractions.
Then the PR team announces a shirtless calendar shoot to drum up buzz.
I expect awkward poses and fake smiles.
Instead, I find him.
Ezra Turner, all broody eyes and soft lips, moves behind the camera like poetry. His rare smile hits me harder than any check on the ice.
I’ve never been attracted to guys. That’s my brother’s story, not mine.
But maybe this isn’t about labels.
Maybe it’s about him. About us.
Ezra Turner
I’ve learned to keep my heart locked tight.
A crumbling relationship and years of scars have taught me that lesson well.
Then Lucas Hopkins barrels into my life — all cocky charm and surprising tenderness. He wants to protect me, but it’s his own heart on the line. I see it every time he looks at me.
He’s fighting something raw and real.
And I don’t know if I’m brave enough to fall for someone who’s still questioning.
But maybe this kind of love is worth the shot.

But when a certain polite, pretty beta starts following Killian with his gaze—and then following Killian to his favorite bar—Killian’s self-control is tested for the first time.

There’s nothing I want more than a life with him… but my past is the world’s worst wingman.

Now that’s coming back to bite me in the ass.
Because the impossible happened, and we got our second chance. A safe home. A tomorrow worth planning for. And a future I want to spend with Dáithí.
He’s amazing—sassy, clever, the kind of guy who can cut you down with one eyebrow and still make you laugh. We’ve known each other a long time, and convincing him to date me was one of the best wins of my long life. Convincing him to be my boyfriend? That’s a fight I might not win.
Because the reputation I earned when I was living life to the fullest has stuck, and Dáithí’s convinced I’m only in this for a good time, not a long time. He’s protecting his heart from future damage by keeping things casual between us… even though they’re not.

Banjo
There’s nothing like winning a singing competition and making your life-long dream come true… and then finding out you’ve been drafted for the Human Relocation Program.
My family needs that prize money. All I have to do is make it back to Earth and record an album in one year. That’s my focus. Getting home. I can’t let myself be distracted by anything else. At least until a smoking hot alien saves me from certain death. He promises me he’ll take me home—for a price—but what if I don’t want to go home anymore?
Tavryn
Everything was going fine until I rescued this ridiculous human from a planet where he was abandoned to be some creature’s lunch. No doubt it’s because he never shuts up.

As soon as I have them in my possession, I’ll return them to Earth and never look back. Except… Banjo is more charming and attractive than any human has a right to be, and he makes such a pretty pet. Too bad he’d never want to give up his life on Earth for someone like me.

BLURB:
Matt Daughtry has always felt like he and his parents live in separate worlds—his shaped by the urbane, Northeastern liberal elite, theirs by Southern conservatism, homespun “common sense,” and talk show-fueled conspiracies. His homosexuality remains an open secret, something they sidestep rather than confront, much less accept. When he and his sister return for Christmas, the wrong sibling brings home a boyfriend for the first time.
What starts as a tense but routine holiday gathering takes a surreal turn the next morning. Flights are canceled, pilots and flight attendants mysteriously take time off, and by the following day, an estimated seventy-eight million Americans fail to return to work. Their explanation? They just want to spend more time with their families. Christmas can be every day when you’re with family.
His parents—and millions of Americans—are suffering from a bizarre condition, trapped in an endless holiday loop, determined to celebrate Christmas every day. They make choices that go against their self-interests. Blissfully unbothered by their accumulating debts, economic collapse, or even basic responsibilities, they live in a festive delusion seemingly fueled by an addictive algorithm used by an evangelical shopping app called MerryNet.
At first, Matt sees no reason to get involved. He’s never been able to reach his parents before—why would this be any different? But as the syndrome spreads, paralyzing the country, he stumbles upon evidence linking the outbreak to corporate actors intent on silencing their perceived right-wing enemies. Faced with a choice between complicity and action, Matt realizes that exposing the truth may come at the cost of his career, safety, and sanity. But the country may slide further into a dystopian nightmare if he doesn’t act.
With the help of his boyfriend and sister, Matt must not only uncover the syndrome’s cause and cure but also confront the deeper divisions tearing his family—and the nation—apart.

Lucas “Coop” Cooper started with dirt bikes, moved to street races and now his sights were set on owning the Arenacross circuit. Only one thing might stand in his way – Rick Stanton. Who knew that one small soldier could cause him so much grief? And honestly? How could someone be a bigger daredevil than he was?
When two adrenaline junkies fall in love, can they figure out how to support each other without killing the other?

Percival dies hating Leo. He is reborn wanting only him.
Leo despises Lord Percival Everflame the moment the phoenix walks into his bakery. Well … almost the moment. At first, the hearth witch baker is too busy staring at the stunning phoenix. Then Percival speaks and reveals what an arrogant prick he is.
The hatred is completely mutual. As far as Percival is concerned, Leo might be an attractive witch, but his rudeness and disrespect for his betters makes him utterly intolerable. Still, Percival keeps returning to the bakery. For the pies, of course.
Then Percival is attacked. He dies, is reborn … and forgets everything.
Leo finds him in an alley. Naked and confused, this new Percival has no memory of Leo or their previous animosity. He just knows he trusts Leo and needs to stay close to the witch. Unable to turn Percival away, Leo brings him home and is shocked at how sweet the reborn phoenix is.
While sparks fly between them, questions lurk in the shadows. What or who killed Percival? And will it turn Percival and Leo’s budding relationship to ash?

What is it so hard to understand when I say I don’t deserve a Daddy?
Or happiness. Or redemption. Or anything else.
Hi! I’m Cameron—well, Cam—and years ago, I really fucked up and became the worst friend in the history of friends. Things went downhill from there, and now I’m here. Getting a job as a veterinarian in a refuge slash sanctuary in the middle of nowhere because if I can’t make amends, I can at least isolate myself and repent.
Except… The position is live-in. With a man. A man who fits into all my fantasies of the Daddy I’m definitely not looking for.
I’m just going to avoid him—and everyone else—and focus on the animals. The foxes and the wolves and lion cubs we house are not to blame, and they deserve the world.
Unlike me.
A road trip to a cowboy event in Texas where I blurt out every reason why I’m the scum of the earth is certainly not going to change anything.

Cole Maddox isn’t looking for romance. After a painful betrayal ends his marriage, he returns to his small hometown to work alongside his dad and keep his life simple. He knows his way around every tool in the box, but nothing prepares him for the writer from New York who tempts him with things he never imagined.
Gavin Price used to believe in love stories. Now he’s grieving the loss of his parents, staring at a blank page, and wondering if he’ll ever write again. Inheriting a rundown inn in snowy New England feels like one more burden, until the straight handyman renovating it helps him find inspiration.
As their connection deepens, Gavin’s work begins to blur the line between fiction and reality. The story he’s writing could expose the secret relationship they’ve tried to keep hidden, and Cole isn’t sure if risking his heart is worth it when privacy is no longer certain.
Under the glow of twinkling lights and tinsel, a small-town handyman and a big city author might just discover that the best stories aren’t the ones you plan, but the ones that linger long after the last page.

Worst Christmas Ever …
Blake
Ollie is the worst! He took up half my seat on the plane, and now he’s taking up my entire vacation cabin, the one I booked after my sister said I couldn’t come home for the holidays this year.
After a night of pouting (and waking up curled next to this stranger, who is almost as warm as a cozy fireplace), I sympathize with him. He’s also avoiding his family, but for a different reason. They want to know when he’ll settle down and start a family.
The longer we stay in this three-room cabin together, the more I wonder the same, and if he’d consider settling down with a grumpy, high-maintenance omega like me. Oh, did I mention he’s a bear shifter? I wouldn’t dare snuggle up to a wild animal, but this giant in my bed is giving me all kinds of knotty ideas.
Maybe our shared cabin with only one bed isn’t so bad, after all.

Echo:
“Well-adjusted considering what you’ve been through.” That’s what my therapist likes to tell me.
If well-adjusted means following dangerous people to secluded areas in the hopes they’ll off me, then yes. I am the picture of mental health.
What’s a boy to do when his would-be murderer gets murdered?
Definitely not stalk the murderer.
Or openly set up camp on his front lawn.
Or tell him that, since he foiled a perfectly good suicide, he now owes me a murder.
Vale:
“Dangerous sociopath. Kill on sight.” That’s what my former captors like to say.
They’re not wrong. Killing just feels so good, but science feels even better, and sleep is a gift from the gods, so murder usually takes a backseat to them.
So what am I supposed to do when I eat the wrong person and his victim comes after me, demanding I finish the job?
Definitely not break into his house and sleep in his bed when he’s not around.
Or order a shipment of groceries to him every week to make sure he eats properly.
Or tell him that I plan on spending the rest of his life following him around to keep him safe.

Wade
When my little brother was fifteen, he kissed a boy. Someone from our werewolf pack saw him and told Alpha, and that was the end. The end of his life, because wolf packs have ironclad rules and one of them is, Thou shalt not be gay, ever. Shawn died. And the extra gut-punch on top of losing my brother was that the man who obeyed our Alpha’s order to kill Shawn was Dustin, our Fixer, a man I’d thought was my good friend. The man I’d secretly had a crush on.
Once Shawn was dead, once Alpha let me loose, I ran fast and far. I wanted to kill Dustin, to smear his guts out on the ground and dance on them, but he had four inches, thirty pounds, and fifteen years of fighting experience on me. He was pack Sixth to my Fifteenth. In a fight, I’d always lose. Still, as I made a new life a long way from the pack, I vowed that one day, I’d find Dustin and end him. Then, one spring night, I woke to a very familiar wolf peering in at me from the fire escape. I had my shot at revenge at last.
Dustin
Pack Fixer is a title, a job, an avocation. It’s also a prison, bound by vows to your Alpha and one sole commandment: protect the pack. My father, who was Fixer before me, taught me all kinds of ways to cover up evidence that might reveal werewolves. I could pick locks, alter photos, confuse, drug, blackmail, and eliminate threats. I was up on all the new technology that was growing by leaps and bounds here in the 1970s. I understood video, knew what a motion detector could do. And I used my skills to kill an innocent boy.
Well, that’s what my Alpha thought I’d done, what he’d commanded of me. What Shawn’s brother Wade believed, when he escaped our pack and vanished. In fact, Shawn was still alive and I was no longer Fixer. But it took me seven years to find Wade, to give him the good news. Question is, will he kill me before I can tell him he still has a brother?
