Wow. I did not expect to run into Brooklyn Kings retired football star Harte McKinney in my hometown of Appleton Falls. It takes me back to my college days when I crushed on him in silence. All these years later, nothing’s changed. Even better, something in his eyes has me thinking he’s not as straight as I’d always believed.
When I find him hurt in a car crash in the snow, it’s my duty as a deputy sheriff to follow him to the hospital and make sure he’s going to be okay. Then we share an unexpected kiss, and I make him a proposal: come home with me to recuperate so we can explore these feelings behind closed doors.
Each day we spend together brings us closer, and we know we want to be together. But small towns have big eyes—we might not be able to keep what we have to ourselves much longer. My partner already suspects Harte and I are more than “just friends.” And when my mom gets an eyeful of Harte in his birthday suit…it’s time.
Let the snow fall where it may—we’re ready to come out.

In a twist, I’m not so smart.

I can work with that.

Since the night his best friend was turned into a vampire, tattoo artist Kai has been hiding a deadly secret—one a powerful blood mage would do anything to possess. When he meets the ancient vampire Vidar and knows without a doubt he’s found his soulmate, Kai dares to hope he can finally share the truth he’s carried alone. But with a single glance at the scarred human, Vidar storms away, leaving Kai’s heart in ruins.
Vidar has no time for a male soulmate, especially since he’s only ever desired women. A decade ago, crushed by the weight of immortality and numbed by apathy, he abandoned the vampiric family he once led, and now he’s returned to mend what he broke. It doesn’t matter how tempting Kai is, or how his lavender scent soothes the inner turmoil the Viking vampire can barely hold back.
Fate, however, refuses to be ignored.
When Kai is attacked Vidar can no longer deny the bond between them. Yet can the stubborn vampire surrender to love? And after so much rejection, can Kai risk giving his heart to the one man who’s already broken it?
Two souls bound by destiny must decide if love is worth the risk of being burnt—or face the lethal cost of denial.

A summer tourist town in December might be the worst place in the world for Jake to end up after a breakup. Can one tentacled sea monster fulfill his lonely Christmas wish?
This is shaping up to be the worst Christmas of Jake’s life. After losing his job and his boyfriend, all he’s got left is a lease he can’t afford and a needy kitten.
In a fit of desperation, he sends a letter to Santa. He’s only got two things on his list: a new place to live, and someone who’ll love and support him no matter what.
Jake’s luck seems like it’s changing for the better when his grandma offers up her beach house, but he didn’t consider how lonely the empty tourist town would be during the holiday.
Except for that one handsome surfer who keeps turning up outside his window…Who would be crazy enough to surf in the frigid Maine waters?
Doren hasn’t spoken to a human in hundreds of years, and likes it that way. It’s the safest thing for Doren’s family — after all, giant alien sea creatures aren’t meant to exist.
After accidentally being seen by an adorable human in a red plaid sweater, the smart thing would be to stay far away. So why does Doren keep taking human form and frolicking in the waves outside said human’s beach house?
And why is Doren so certain that a certain set of strong tentacles could hug Jake’s sadness away?

He’s the rival, but wanting him is inevitable.
Alfonzo
I’ve always lived by my own set of codes, and code number one in my book stated: form no attachments.
But forming one with him was inevitable.
When Rico dropped Maksim Arsenyev’s file onto my desk with orders to eliminate him, I wasn’t surprised.
The Russians had been playing at our backdoor for too long, and while they were good friends with a local biker club Rico was in cahoots with, that didn’t mean Rico would idly stand by and let the Russians continue to spread into our territory.
But when I lay eyes on Maksim in person for the first time…
I can’t bring myself to pull the trigger.
I let him run.
A game of cat and mouse begins, but like Tom, I don’t actually want to harm Jerry.
~*~*~
Maksim
The Bratva took me in when I was nothing more than a starving boy on the streets of Russia. Anatoly, the Pakhan, saved me, and Rurik, his best friend and consigliere, mostly raised me.
I owed them everything.
So, when I’m given orders to scope out one of Rico Martinez’s properties, I do so without question.
But I’m not sneaky enough, and I’m spotted. My cover is blown.
When Rico’s second in command, Alfonzo Aguado, appears in front of me like a ghost, I know it’s over for me.
But he lets me go.
A game of cat and mouse begins, but somewhere in our little game, a third player slips in, and we’re unaware until they almost take me out.
Now, I’m standing on the Martinez compound grounds, bleeding out, and begging Alfonzo to come out and help me.
And when he does… may God have mercy on whoever touched me.
Alfonzo is out for blood.

Cody, alone and tired of dating asshole alphas, decides it’s time to make his own family. The incredible four days he spends with Hunter has Cody falling in love with the one person in the world he can’t have.

When Cody finds out he didn’t get pregnant, he’s devastated. Hunter, despite the agency’s non-compete rules, commits to helping him until he conceives, and they continue to fall in love. At the same time, Hunter is desperately looking for work now that he’s no longer a Dream Alpha, hoping that if he can get out of the contract, he’d have something to offer Cody. But when Cody discovers it’s the lack of job, rather than the contract keeping them apart, he makes it perfectly clear what Hunter can do with his hangups.

The cavalry will return—Fen knows their captain well enough for that—endangering the people who rescued him and his brother.

Who needs a love life when there’s so much work to do?
Nothing is getting in the way of this tiny house build.
Not my tiny budget.
Not my tiny stockpile of supplies.
Not the tiny question of legality concerning the practice of sneaking materials out of the dumpster on my neighbour’s construction site.
Not the tiny snowflakes threatening to fall sooner than I am prepared for them.
Definitely not Cullen, the not-so-tiny foreman on the construction site with his amazing shoulders, kind eyes, and inexplicable interest in taking me on dates and feeding me.
Wait. Maybe that last one, but just for the afternoon…then I’m right back on task, because building an entire house, of any size, from recycled materials is no tiny feat.
So imagine my shock when, every time I leave the site, I come back to find someone has been there while I was away. They haven’t taken anything. Instead, they’re putting up walls and roof joists and leaving behind festive decorations.
Have I been the victim of tiny construction elves?

Nevertheless, when a family oath gone awry presents him with the chance to do some good for its oppressed people, he can’t turn away, even when faced with the animosity of the brooding, handsome Aemon Smelter.
Aemon Smelter hardly knew his father, yet thanks to his mother he’s now bound to avenge his death by assassinating Titus Orestes. However, when he starts falling in love with the kind, sensitive Patrician, he quickly learns that even the most powerful family oaths can’t truly bind the human heart.
As the Province hurtles toward rebellion and the Dominion tightens its grip, Aemon and Titus will find shelter in one another’s arms, even as the world around them begins to burn.

When my brother jets off on a last-minute holiday, leaving me to run our business, my plan to avoid Christmas is left in tatters.
The bright side? Is there one? I don’t really do bright sides.
Making use of my brother’s flashy car and his driver, Rowan, is a plus. Sort of. Upbeat personalities aren’t my thing. Despite that, Rowan’s optimism is better than any chisel, chipping away at my stern exterior.
Getting stranded in a snowstorm wasn’t on my itinerary, but here we are, cold and all alone, with no sign of being rescued.
I couldn’t leave Rowan to freeze, could I? As we try to stay warm, I discover something about Rowan which makes me realise we have more in common than I expected.
I’m technically his boss…
…but that doesn’t matter tonight.
Not when working together to raise the temperature in the car has the potential to be so much fun.
But when the storm clears, will I still want to be Rowan’s Daddy?

Miles Jeffries is an actor just looking for his big break.
Dmitri Zervas is an adult film star reconsidering his relevance in the industry and his life in general.
But when Miles somehow finds himself on the set for a movie far more adult than the low-budget holiday flick he planned to audition for, it doesn’t feel like a mistake. If anything, it feels like Christmas is coming early. (Or maybe that’s actually just him, considering the chemistry he has with his scene partner…especially when the scene partner in question happens to be the Daddy dom of his dreams.)
Dmitri can’t help but agree, seeing as Miles turns out to be his ideal kind of sub. But this is just a scene, isn’t it? They’re just actors who are being paid to enjoy each other. If only his traitorous heart and other parts of his anatomy would get with the program.
After all, what’s the likelihood that Christmas miracles will happen for either of them when it’s not even December and they’re really just manufacturing Christmas?

For eight hundred years, I’ve walked this world without feeling even a shred of human emotion. I hunt murderers with a song in my heart, but I’m no hero, anti or otherwise. I enjoy besting other predators, and my own pleasure has always been the only thing that matters. My world is clean, simple, and perfect.
Then Eli stumbles into my life, and everything changes. The moment he looks at me with those dark, haunted eyes and calls me by a name I haven’t used in centuries, I feel something I thought lost to me forever: the ability to care for someone who isn’t me.
Suddenly, my existence isn’t about pleasure anymore. I would burn it all down for him without even a moment’s hesitation. But Eli has built his life around saving others. If he ever learns what I’ve done or who I really am, he’ll never forgive me.
He can never know the truth.
Eli
I’ve seen Nicolas in my dreams for as long as I can remember. I always wake up gasping, drowning in feelings of heartbreak I can’t explain. But that’s sheer madness. I should be focused on the grueling hours I’m putting in at the ER. On my unstable ex, whose threats are getting worse. On my sister, whose life is falling apart right in front of me. Or maybe even on the fact that every man I’ve ever given my heart to has shattered it. Those things matter. The dreams don’t.
Until the night I meet Nicolas. Then everything I thought I knew starts to unravel. Because he’s real. And he’s not human. I know I should run. But how can I leave the one person who’s always been mine, even before we’ve ever met? Still, I know he’s hiding something from me. Something far worse than his lack of heartbeat.
And I have to know what it is. Even if it destroys everything.

Roe Monroe
Taking a lap in hockey purgatory wasn’t in my plan, but I guess even hockey players don’t plan on blowing out a knee, much less picking up some bad habits on how to deal with the injury.
Fox River Falls wasn’t in the plan either, a town where gossip spreads faster than a slapshot and the local coffee shop doubles as a soap opera set.
I’m here to earn my way back to the NHL—not to flirt with the grumpy carpenter who hates everything I stand for.
Too bad his kid worships me, his scowl kind of turns me on, and his quiet, steady belief in me? Yeah, that’s dangerous.
I’m not here to stay. But he’s making me want things I swore I’d given up on.
Gabe Thatcher
I build things with my hands, raise my kid, and avoid the gossip that Fox River Falls loves so well.
Roe Monroe is exactly the kind of trouble I don’t want, don’t need.
He’s cocky, chaotic, and everything I swore I wouldn’t let near my son—or my heart.
But he sees something in me I stopped believing was there. And when he looks at me, I forget my name.
Somehow, he fits into the life I thought I was building alone.

My stepbrother married his brother, I work for him, and every HR policy in existence says I should stay away … far away.
But try telling that to my traitorous heart.
For years, we’ve danced around each other—heated glances across conference tables, accidental touches that linger too long, banter that crackles like a downed Christmas light.
Then our company Christmas party goes sideways.
Liam—usually polished and untouchable—gets drunk, reckless, and incredibly jealous.
I’m the one who has to drive him home, haul his gorgeous, impossible self into his penthouse, and pretend I don’t feel something.
One kiss turns into something that burns hotter than holiday bourbon, and suddenly he’s looking at me like I’m not his employee … but something he wants to keep.
Then he whisks me away to a remote island in the middle of nowhere, just the two of us.

But his family think he needs to talk to people more, so he is working at the counter of their shop when Tommick Fortune walks in.
Charming Tommick is a regular visitor and Dorrimin can’t help but wish that some of his charm was about courtship. But though Dorrimin’s family are respected members of a Guild, Tommick’s wealthy, powerful family will have more planned for him than a sweetheart from a middle-class level of the city. In addition, Dorrimin is… awkward.
But when the wind blows in a snowstorm, even a rich boy from the mountaintop needs safety and comfort, and perhaps, the sort of care his upper-class family can’t provide. Fortunately, Dorrimin is there with his family, and his home, and his heart, if Tommick wants it.

When I find out the man I’m seeing has big feelings for someone else, I have a feeling he’s talking about Evan, who just confessed he’s got his own feelings for me. I’m willing to explore both relationships, but something about this bizarre love triangle gives me the feeling one of us will wind up on the outs.
Isaac
I’ve been looking for love as long as I can remember. I’ve been told I’m not enough, too much, too driven, AND lacking focus. After one date, I know Deacon could be the man of my dreams, but Evan has been starring in all my fantasies for so long, I couldn’t help falling for him. Knowing he’s pining for the same man I’m also rapidly falling for is bound to get messy, but if I play my cards right, maybe I can finally have more love in my life than I’ve ever dared to dream.

Eli walked into my life scared, stubborn, and too sweet for the world we live in… and somehow he became the one person I can’t breathe without.

They’ll learn real fast what happens when you try to take what belongs to me.
Eli
Skip terrifies me… and he makes me feel safe in a way I’ve never known.
I don’t understand why a man like him is willing to stand between me and every monster in the dark—but he does.
The club, the danger, the threats creeping closer…

Like I’m worth fighting for.
Like I’m worth keeping.
And maybe… I’m finally ready to believe that.

My life has been… rough. I spent most of my childhood in an asylum, and I’ve spent the better part of the last six years trying to deal with the fact that everything I touch tells me something about the last person who owned it, the person who made it, and sometimes several people in between.
It’s exhausting, and I hate it. I will do pretty much anything to avoid doing it, in fact.
Until a six-four, golden-eyed FBI agent walked through the door and dropped literal diamonds into my hands. Well, a diamond necklace. And he asked me to tell me everything I could about who’d owned it, who’d given it to her, and so on.
I guess I have to learn how to control my abilities fast, or a murderer might go free.
And I might lose my chance to impress the FBI agent who haunts my dreams.

Kieran doesn’t discriminate when it comes to the things he hates: people, small talk, kombucha—he despises them all equally.
And then there is Ash freaking Cleaver. Cocky, shameless, and on a mission to get under Kieran’s skin—and into his pants. The fact that Kieran doesn’t bat for his team doesn’t seem to bother him. Nothing seems to bother him, including Kieran’s unconcealed hatred for the guy. Actually, Kieran swears the pervert enjoys the open displays of hostility.
Yeah, he definitely hates Ash the most.
So when Kieran wakes up two years in the future—next to the very man he despises, in the bed they share, in the life they’ve apparently built together—no one can blame him if he loses it a little (a lot).
Trapped in a timeline he doesn’t understand, with the man he can’t stand, Kieran desperately searches for a way out.
And he better find it quick.
Because the more time he spends with this version of Ash, the one who kisses his forehead and knows how he takes his coffee, the one who makes him feel safe even in the middle of a storm, the harder it is to pretend he still hates him. Even harder to admit that, maybe, he never really did.
After all the effort to find a way back, leaving this reality behind might just be the hardest thing he’s ever had to do.

Anders guards a secret facility where they make monsters. He didn’t expect to want one to catch him.
Anders was going through the motions. Playing football for a huge paycheck, a different guy every night—he had his dream for two games. Now he’s a security guard, and even hooking up has lost its shine.
When he got promoted to the restricted floor, Anders met Bear, a super soldier experiment. Part man, part polar bear, all dangerous. And inexplicably hot.
He was supposed to stay in the security room, but when the cameras glitched, Anders had to check it out. He should have been afraid as Bear hunted him through dark hallways, but he’d never been more turned on. When Bear caught him, Anders discovered exactly what happened when prey wanted to be caught.
Locked in the security room together, they should have been planning their escape. Instead, they couldn’t keep their hands off each other. It was more than primal heat—it was an inferno. Bear burned through every wall Anders had built around his heart without even trying.
Anders was all in before he realized it, and that terrified him more than Bear’s claws ever could.
When their escape plan went sideways and someone had to stay behind, would Anders sacrifice himself for the monster he loved, or save himself and lose the only thing that made him feel alive?

But it must be happening because Dad insists I start working for the family business, and I’ve run out of excuses not to.
Already dreading my first day tomorrow, I know the best thing to take the edge off is finding myself a hot guy for the night.
That plan leads me to Damon, the hottest, sweetest man ever.
We agree to one night of fun, then we never see each other again.
But the universe must have other ideas because the very next morning, I find out he’s my new coworker. And thanks to a little too much pillow talk, I accidentally use his insider information against him.
Now he hates me, and the sweet guy I met is nowhere to be found.

I don’t do one-night stands. Not my thing.

It’s too bad he doesn’t want to see me again after this, because he’s perfect.

And unfortunately for me, I never even saw it coming.
Now, two years later, just when I’ve gotten used to disliking the man I’m still very much attracted to, misfortune finds us once again when a snow storm traps us together in a hotel room—and we’ve only got one bed.

“If I meet you, then I’ll fall in love with you for real, even more than I am now,”
Apollo, ancient god of Muse, Prophecy, Light and Healing, always knew his love life was cursed. Every love he’d ever had would either leave him, or suffer a tragic end. Which is why, when he saw Titus Haverland the first time and immediately fell in love, Apollo deliberately avoided him. The man might walk around with his own personal light show, but that just indicated how much of a good soul Titus was. All the more reason to stay away.
“I don’t deceive anybody in any aspect of my business dealings, and that applies to all areas of my life.”
Titus Haverland, wolf shifter and owner of Titus Industries, had loved and lost before. He was still paying the child support. He kept his personal relations to quick interactions and rarely opened his pants for the same person twice.

“Do you have any idea what you have done?”
