PUBLISHER: KB Twins
LENGTH: 484 pages
RELEASE DATE: 1/19/2026
BLURB:
Fake dating your best friend is supposed to be easy…but only if feelings aren’t involved.
Drew Larney lives for the rush on the ice and in the bedroom. As the star center of the Berkeley Shore University hockey team, it’s not in his nature to deny his fans a good time. Scoring hat tricks is his bread and butter, one-night stands are his specialty, and commitment isn’t even in his vocabulary.
Jackson Monroe is the golden boy quarterback with a heart as big as his throwing arm. Where most athletes seek the limelight, Jackson prefers spending time with his friends, working out with his teammates, and staying out of the public eye as much as possible. But being popular comes with a price.
After a Polar Bear Plunge kicks off the new year and sparks new interest into Drew and Jackson’s bromance, the two of them repeatedly deny that they’re anything more than friends. There’s only one problem—once a rumor spreads, there’s little one can do to stop it. So, Drew and Jackson hatch a plan. Fake a relationship until the heat dies down.
What starts as damage control quickly spirals into something more complicated when the Ice Queen begins orchestrating elaborately intimate schemes to test the authenticity of their sudden relationship. As every line drawn becomes blurred, and every moment together pushes them closer than ever before, Drew and Jackson must face the ultimate question: can they fight the power of love?

SERIES: The Havenwood Universe #4
PUBLISHER: Rivera Publishing
LENGTH: 201 pages
RELEASE DATE: 1/19/2026
BLURB:
A vampire. A human. And a court of beautiful lies.
Alexander Thorne is a man of order, but his life as a fledgling vampire is defined by chaos. The only stability he has is Evan Rivers, his Fated Mate, and the protection of Sienna Vale, the powerful Coven Mistress who saved him when his sire left him for dead.
Alexander prides himself on being Sienna’s loyal soldier. So when she calls in a favour to save the Coven from a magical crisis, he cannot refuse.
The mission: Enter the Court of Hollow Hill and negotiate a treaty. The catch: He must bring Evan with him.
Stepping into a realm of eternal twilight, Alexander intends to play the perfect diplomat before the mercurial Queen Mab. But while the Queen rules the court, it is her favoured, the Unseelie Prince Sevryn, who truly presides over its games. Ancient, beautiful, and terrifyingly cold, the Prince doesn’t care about Coven politics; he is fascinated by the anomaly of a vampire bonded to a human.
Trapped in a gilded cage where time is a weapon, Alexander realizes that the danger isn’t just the Prince’s obsession. As the negotiations crumble, he begins to suspect that Sienna sent him here for reasons far darker than diplomacy.
Now, Alexander must choose between the loyalty he owes his saviour and the life of the man he loves.

BLURB:
Dr. Maxwell York has a protocol for everything. As the Chief of Cardiothoracic Surgery, Max is a man of precision. He likes his coffee at exactly 180 degrees, his office silent, and his life sterile. He is the “Ice King,” and he has no intention of melting.
Dr. Jax O’Connell is a disaster waiting to happen. The Head of Trauma is Max’s exact opposite. A former combat surgeon who drives a mud-splattered Jeep, listens to AC/DC in the OR, and treats rules as mild suggestions. To Jax, medicine is warfare, and he’s the “Trauma Cowboy” leading the charge.
Oil, meet water. When a hospital merger forces their departments together, Max and Jax are shoved into a shared office. A single strip of blue painter’s tape on the floor is the only thing separating Max’s pristine order from Jax’s chaos.
Max wants him gone ASAP. Jax wants to see just how far he can push him before he breaks.
But as the pressure of the hospital mounts, the friction between them sparks into something neither of them can control. Max is realizing that chaos might be the one thing his life is missing, and Jax is finding out that the Ice King burns hotter than anyone else.
Sometimes, the only cure is a little… Bedside Manner.

Kai
Starting a camboy account to pay the inheritance tax on my Uncle’s estate wasn’t on my bucket list. The sensible solution would have been to sell it. But as I spend more time there, I become intrigued by Uncle’s secrets and the staff who have kept them. Especially Jason, the quiet, handsome and rugged groundsman who is easy to talk to.
With the payment deadline looming closer, I realise I need Jason’s help to preserve my Uncle’s legacy. The trouble is I’m sure he doesn’t approve of my money making methods.

Canadian ski cross phenom Cedric Bérard has spent his life chasing speed, glory, and his best friend Austin down every mountain they could find. They’ve always pushed each other harder, faster, closer to the edge—until one night, Cedric falls in a different way.
One kiss. One touch. A tumble into something neither of them planned for. Suddenly Cedric’s dream isn’t just about Olympic medals—it’s about Austin. The way he makes Cedric feel weightless, the way desire hits harder than any crash on the snow, the way one night leaves Cedric craving more.
But every fall has consequences. One mistake on the mountain leaves Cedric’s future in pieces—his shot at the Games, his friendship with Austin, and the love he never expected to find. Because some falls don’t just end a race—they change the course of a life.

BLURB:
As long as I can remember, my life has been a consistent fight.
For my job, my acceptance in society and my freedom of my past.
Being a gay male omega meant I had to work harder to be taken seriously, to be respected.
I deserved the life I’ve built as a professor at Crown Well University.
I was happy. Content with the way things were.
Until one day, one class, three scents and my whole life changed.
I’ve never wanted alphas, never wanted the pack life.
Having a pack means you have to trust those within it.
And I didn’t trust anyone.
Especially not Jamie, Tate and Alaric.
They’re too young. Way too arrogant and cocky for my liking.
And, not to mention they’re also my students.
But saying no and walking away isn’t as easy as I’d like to be.
I’m drawn to them, this pull that communes me down to my bones.
They’re my scent matches. The universe’s fucked up way at giving me my own fated mates.
They’ve taken my choice away, disrupted my comfortable life.
Now, I can’t stop thinking about them. Can’t stop craving them.
I might be an omega, and they might be my alphas, that doesn’t mean I’m going to bend to their will.
If they want this, they’re going to have to play by my rules.
If they want me, they’re going to have to show me, by getting on their knees, like the good boys they should be.

To deliver Auggie on time and win back his soul, Callum will need the help of his black cat familiar, his human assistant (whom he accidentally turned into a frog), a four-armed, tally undead witch, and Auggie himself—who seems too good to have made a deal with the Devil.
But if Auggie didn’t make a deal with the Devil, what awaits him in New York? And if Auggie doesn’t deserve his fate, is Callum willing to give up his own chance at freedom to save him?

Before he can run again, Nate’s family arrives and welcomes him home to a life he never had. As “Nate” watches and waits for his chance to escape, he finds that the Beaumonts are nurturing and loving, very different from his own parents.
But soon unsettling things start to happen—vandalism, alarms going off in the middle of the night—and it becomes clear that someone knows “Nate” isn’t who he says he is…and that the real Nate wasn’t kidnapped, but murdered.
As he starts to unravel the mystery, he gets ever closer to the devil he may know—and learns he might be their next victim.

In their place are locals with a bizarre, slanted speech in awe of his foreign clothes, who swiftly toss him in a dungeon. Despite the barbarity of a medieval world, a servant named Simon helps George acclimate to a simpler, easier existence—until a summons from the King threatens to send his life up in flames.

Leland
Life is normal… suspiciously normal.
During my long, lonely years as a hitman, I never realized that one day, I would have a family to call my own.
Now, instead of stalking my targets and taking down people with a flick of my wrist, my specialties lie in things like planning sleepovers (why does Waylon look terrified?), The Fence hour (those are screams of joy), and involving others to help our child succeed (no, of course I didn’t abduct anyone).
But for a guy like me, things can’t stay good for too long. Someone seems to think that I should still be the ruthless hitman I used to be. They want to draw me back into the limelight and prove to me that what I’m living now is a lie.
But they don’t realize how much they’re going to regret meeting the Sandman–especially once they threatened my family.
Jackson
This person seems to be obsessed with an image of Leland from the past, and because of it, we now have a crime boss on our tail and a bounty on Leland’s head. The stalker has no idea that Leland comes with multiple ex-assassins, a sketchy Scotsman, and the chief of police who likes to pretend he doesn’t want to be involved.
I adore my life with Leland just the way it is (someone, please burn down The Fence), and no one is going to ruin that (I will pay well).
They’d better be afraid to sleep because the Sandman is coming (and if they took down The Fence while they were at it, I wouldn’t mind).

BLURB:
Why can’t everyone just accept that I’m a broken f**king wolf and be done with it?
Connor, beta wolf and second for the Davis Pack, could hold his own in any fight. He was a fair man, who dealt with all people equally, accepting who they were, and helping them where he could. His larger than average size meant that most other wolf shifters accepted his ways, but deep inside Connor always knew he was broken. Which wasn’t a problem, until he met his mate at a pack get-together, and realized his ‘differences’ could impact someone else.
I knew what I’d been signing up for. I told Connor I would wait, and that I understood.
Alpha Leyden was a typical alpha wolf shifter – he fought when he had to, cared for his pack, and enjoyed intimacies with anyone willing who crossed his path. It was the wolf way, and he never saw anything wrong with the way he lived his life. Until, one night he scented a huge man who seemed immune to his appeal – a man who when confronted with who they were to each other, ran away.
“I still intend on biting you, Connor, and I want for you to bite me. So we’ll be mates, regardless of whatever else happens,”
Connor was determined to stay away from Leyden for his own good. But when he learns Leyden is in trouble, he can’t ignore it and goes to help. The two men came to an agreement, and Connor accepts Leyden’s bite. But a lot of pack wolves didn’t agree with Connor and Leyden’s new reality. Were Connor and Leyden strong enough together to make the positive changes they both believe in, or would the old ways win out in the end?
The first 14,000 words of this story was written for an MM Goodreads Anthology back in 2015. Forty thousand words have been added for those readers who wanted to know “what happened next.”

The job is high-profile.
The danger is real.
The attachment is the one thing neither of them can afford.
Griffin Hale is elite close protection—trained to read danger before it explodes and stop threats before they reach his principal. One catastrophic failure cost him his career, his confidence, and his place in the industry. When he’s offered a high-visibility assignment protecting Rune, the lead vocalist of one of the biggest K-pop groups in the world, Griffin takes it knowing the margin for error is razor-thin.
Rune lives under constant surveillance. Every movement scheduled. Every interaction managed. Fame has taught him how to disappear in plain sight—and how dangerous it is to want anything unscripted. Griffin is supposed to be another professional barrier between Rune and the world.
Instead, protection becomes physical from the start. Redirecting through crowds. Shared rooms. Hands at Rune’s back when things turn wrong. Trust forms fast under pressure, and the attraction that follows is impossible to separate from the job.
Then the danger turns real. A lighting failure leaves people seriously injured. An encounter among a crowd of ardent fans nearly turns deadly. Someone is testing access, timing, and control—and Griffin is certain this isn’t coincidence.
As the tour escalates toward Seattle, Griffin believes the threat is violent—and he may be right. The deeper he digs, the clearer it becomes that the greatest danger may be coming from inside the system meant to keep Rune safe.
Protecting Rune means confronting the failure that destroyed Griffin’s career.
Loving him means refusing to let him be managed into silence.

I’ll stop at nothing to get him back.
Sometimes what you’re waiting for has a funny way of being right in front of you for a long time. Albrecht Holleran is one of those instances. I know that his broody, moody, assholery is the mask of a man struggling. Over two years, I’ve pried that mask off and we became friends.
Nearly coinciding with the birth of my son, Brek and I began to explore something growing between us. Then he vanishes and it’s a race against time to find him before his expiration date. Everyone knows that the longer someone is missing, the chances of finding them alive lessen.
Doing what I do best, I track Brek’s movements and find that I couldn’t possibly expect a worst case scenario. I’m better behind a desk; my weapon of choice is my computer. But nothing will stop me from getting Brek back. Even if we all die in the process.

Percy Daniels is anxiety in human form—quiet, guarded, and barely holding his life together one breath at a time. Peer tutoring is his first real job, and he needs it to work. No mistakes. No drama. No getting attached.
Kyle Monroe is Kestrel University’s golden wide receiver: confident, loud, and one bad stats grade away from losing everything he’s built. He needs a tutor. What he doesn’t expect is Percy—sharp, blunt, and painfully easy to want.
Their dynamic is a mess from the start: Kyle pushes too close without meaning to. Percy pulls back even when he’s aching to stay. Every session turns into something charged—late-night gaming matches, too-honest texts, and the slow, terrifying realization that this isn’t just chemistry… it’s connection.
But wanting each other is the easy part.
Letting it be real—out loud, in daylight, with all the fear and history they carry—that’s the hard variable. And when anxiety and pressure spike, one wrong move could send them both drifting.

Finn Rossetti didn’t believe in looking back. The brutality, heartbreak and betrayal of his past were better left buried. No one expected the boy abandoned to the streets of the underworld to survive, let alone rise. And a proud, unapologetically gay man climbing the ranks of the mafia? Impossible. Yet here he was, now consigliere to the mafia king. He’d built a life of discipline, success and control, never letting the scars of his past show.
But some wounds refuse to heal. Enzo Aiani was one of them. Once the young Don’s secret lover, his sin in the dark, Finn had been willing to give him everything, only to be left shattered when Enzo chose duty over love. At nineteen, Enzo wasn’t prepared to inherit a ruthless empire after his father’s sudden murder, but life doesn’t wait for readiness. Forced to prove himself worthy, he learned that every choice mattered and every weakness could get him killed. So he hid his truth. Because nothing was more dangerous than the desire and love he felt for Finn Rossetti.
Ten years have passed, and time has hardened him into a formidable leader, feared and respected, but he’s still haunted by the ghost of what he lost to achieve it. Now that the Americans are threatening Italy’s empire, allies must stand together, forcing Enzo to face the man who still owns his heart. Every glance, every touch, every word drags old memories to the present and reignites the raw, intense and irresistible fire that burns between them. Finn is determined to guard his heart, wanting only distance. But Enzo’s done hiding. He’s willing to risk everything–his empire, his blood, his soul–for a second chance.

When I sent Mateo to pick out a pet for us from the local shelter, I expected to come home to a cat or dog. Instead, he introduced me to a duck who wasn’t just a shifter, but also my mate, and refused to shift into human form.
Winning over someone who wouldn’t shift wasn’t easy, but I didn’t give up. With my twin, my family, and my clan behind me, I was determined to make Duckie feel safe enough to trust me.

It had been ages since I’d been around other supes, let alone in a town full of them. But no matter how kind everyone was, I couldn’t bring myself to shift. It was too dangerous—at least, that’s what I kept telling myself.
But Miles wouldn’t give up on me. Mateo made me laugh. And Mistvale, with its dragon protector, felt like the safest place I’d ever known. Maybe, just maybe, I could finally belong.

Love was for fools and victims. That wouldn’t be me. Never again.
Still, an omega needs some fun once in a while and I heard there is a new club in the city called Crowned where I can go and explore without the chance of falling in love. Only falling in want.

I’m Corvus Van der Horn, and as my family’s poisoner and torturer, I’m a master of control, cruelty, and patience. My prisoners are faceless pawns who ought to fear me.
Until Dalton.
He should be forgettable—a washed-up fighter and gambler with more debt than sense. Then I saw his phone. Turns out half the city’s men would sell their souls to let him wreck them. Now I can’t stop asking why.
So we strike a deal: his freedom, in exchange for the kind of night I could never risk with anyone else. A chance to give up control. Just once.
Now he’s under my skin like a disease. And saving him requires a cover story so outrageous it might actually work—an engagement. Me. Engaged. To a man who can’t bluff to save his life and thinks planning ahead means ordering two beers instead of one.
Our deal was supposed to be a secret. A mistake I’d bury.
Instead, I’m drowning in wedding chaos and my own desire.
But when I realize someone is hunting my husband-to-be, they wake up the worst part of me. Because no one—no one—messes with what’s mine.

His eyes settle on the older man, the huge, muscular, tattooed man who looks at him kindly—Kip. As last night comes back to him, being chased by the sons of his foster parents into the car park of a gym. Moments later, his life is made safe by only a few kind words.
Seven years later, Royal pays the debt forward by bringing home Memphis, a fifteen-year-old who was sleeping in the doorway of the gym. Determined to save the kid from a life of living on the streets, he takes him home to Kip and his husband, Robin.
Memphis
After being kicked out of my home by my family, wandering the streets to find a safe place to sleep became my sole purpose every day. The gym doorway becomes my go-to place; it’s safe thanks to the respect the owner has from the kids around here. What I didn’t expect was to be joined one night by a man who says his name is Royal, holding a McDonald’s bag that smells so good my stomach rumbles. I don’t know what it is about him that has me trusting him enough to go with him to his home.
I stayed with Robin and Kip and their adopted sons, including Royal, for three years. I knew that staying with this amazing family would never happen. How could it when I’m in love with Royal, and knowing he will never see me as anything else as his brother? My A-level results give me the chance of a university education away from him.
Seven years later
I never planned on staying away for so long. When I see an announcement of my father’s death, I know it’s the opportunity to go home. Not to see my biological family, hell no to that idea, but to see him, to find Royal and see if I’m now someone he can see as someone more than a kid.
What can persuade Royal to take him seriously?

For years, I’d kept to a routine–get up, work out, do my job, then go back home. Even with Drew practically right beneath my nose, I’d managed to keep to that routine.
And keep my eyes mostly to myself and my hands where they belonged.
But then he barges into my office with bloody, swollen hands. He’s crossing boundaries I set in place, and he’s rolling over me without a care for anything else except what he wants.
Until I butt in where he doesn’t want me, and suddenly, like a switch being flipped…
We’re feral for each other.

But when my routine is tossed aside, leaving me feeling untethered and without control, I lash out at him…
