Alongside new friends Blue and Star, he rides the rails chasing warmth and freedom. But betrayal strikes, leaving him stranded in a small Montana town that is shutting down for a blizzard.

Nimble must find shelter. He does, but Morgan, who runs the town’s feed and grain doesn’t like strangers, let alone visitors. He’s older. And sad. He walks with a limp. His heart is broken. He just wants Nimble gone.

Will they find a happily ever after together?

Life is good. It’s exactly how I want it. No relationships. No kids. I own a business, and I have a nice home. I can do whatever I want and sleep with whomever I want. To make life even better, I have a hot neighbor that I love tormenting. His annoyance gives me great pleasure because he’s cute when he gets flustered. Too bad he has so many kids and a new boyfriend.

When my perfect life turns on its head after my friends die in a tragic accident, I end up with their teenage son in my care. To say that I’m freaking out is an understatement. I have no idea what the hell I’m doing. So, with my tail tucked between my legs, I ask for Seth’s help. Now, our growing friendship has me wondering if having a relationship would be so bad.

Seth Griffin

My neighbor, Calvin, is a jerk. He’s always making fun of me and turning my kids’ toys left in his yard into these totems. Weirdo. He’s annoying, and I hate that he’s hot. However, when he comes to me after becoming the guardian of a teenager, I decide to help him—just for the boy’s sake. Eventually, a close friendship develops between us, and feelings arise, but I shouldn’t want my neighbor.

I’m finally dating again after being abandoned by my ex-husband. While I would never cheat, this friendship with Cal is getting complicated, and I need to decide what to do about it. Then, my new boyfriend’s red flags are revealed, making my decision easier. It’s Calvin I run to now. It’s Calvin I want.

But for the animals he helped along the way and the one boy who made those words sound like compliments instead of insults. Until they took him away.

Loveable. Inspiring. Exemplary.

Teddy had been seen as perfect since the moment he started training. He wasn’t perfect, though. He had broken only one rule, but it was the biggest one of them all. He fell for another cursebreaker. He gave his heart to the one he wasn’t allowed to. And they both paid the price for it.

Between the 80s synth pop and motivation messages scrawled on his bathroom mirror, Micah finds himself more charmed than frightened by who he believes to be Cosmo, the deceased previous resident of his apartment. But when Cosmo’s ghostly visits suddenly stop, Micah is determined to lure him back.

Meanwhile, sculpture artist Cosmo – dramatic, unconventional, and very much alive – is mourning his old self. His boyfriend’s a serial cheater, he’s continually passed over for a promotion at work, and he’s lost contact with his best friend. To make matters worse, his apartment is being haunted by the ghost of a bespectacled man with an eye socket of scars. It’s his last straw, and seeking a new start, Cosmo moves out.

RELEASE DATE: 3/17/2026

BLURB:

Falling in love with my straight best friend? Tragically inevitable.

Telling him? Completely out of the question.

Everyone in Winsome knows Robbie and I are a matched set. A package deal. Ames and Robbie, Robbie and Ames.

He’s the calm to my chaos. The sun shining through my rain cloud. The guy who convinced me to be a firefighter. The man who’s known every single thing about me since we were thirteen…

Except for the teeny, tiny, inconsequential fact that I’ve been in love with him for years.

I planned to take this secret to the grave. Robbie’s straight. He’s engaged. And I’m finally–finally–ready to move on.

But one uncontrollable blaze, one daring rescue, one inconvenient injury, and one heavily-medicated, wildly inappropriate love confession later, my plan’s up in flames.

Suddenly helpful, perfect, shirtless Robbie is bathing me, dressing me, and nursing me back to health. And if being around my gorgeous bestie 24/7 wasn’t torture enough, it seems I’m not the only one having un-platonic thoughts.

But there’s no way I’m letting myself fall into the fantasy again. Because if I let myself believe this is real and it isn’t, it won’t just break my heart… it’ll break us.

And I refuse to risk our friendship, no matter how tempting the man’s hot axe might be.

Joshua believes love can bring Colin home. And even from across an ocean, Colin hears it calling.

Colin Campbell–Abrams went to Ireland carrying a weight his pack could never hold. Grief he couldn’t name. Guilt he couldn’t shake. A marriage he loved too much to destroy with the pieces of himself that remained.

Ireland didn’t heal him; it offered him the grace that allowed him to heal himself.

In green hills and strangers’ kindness. In ancient stones that remembered centuries of pain. In thirty seconds of unexpected sunlight breaking through gray skies. In the slow, stubborn work of putting one foot in front of the other until the man he used to be began to walk by his side.

The road taught him something Joshua had been trying to tell him from the very beginning:

You don’t have to be unbreakable to be worthy of love.

Altitude camp means long runs, cold nights, and the kind of tension that’s not just competitive anymore. When a single kiss shatters the fragile line between enemies and something much more complicated, both men are left breathless—for reasons that have nothing to do with their last tempo run.

But between the pressure of the Olympics, increased media scrutiny and career-threatening injuries, their chance at love might not make it to the finish line.

From the sterile silence of hospital rooms to the neon-lit grit of sex work, Salvador’s life has become a grueling rehearsal for a role that doesn’t exist yet. As he fights to reclaim his place at the barre, he must navigate the sharp edges of desire and the shadows of a tradition that demands he disappear.

Together, the three of them navigate the hidden rules of spells, the secret language of plants and animals, and the subtle, watchful magic that pulses through the forest and the hedge bordering their world. As Caleb learns more about his family’s hidden legacy, he begins to understand magic is not just a force to wield — it is a bond, a responsibility, and a path toward self-discovery. Along the way, friendship becomes love, courage takes root in unexpected ways, and the quiet power of connection proves stronger than fear.

When a handwritten funeral march appears beneath the door of his St. Charles Avenue mansion, seventy-two-year-old conductor Dominic St. Clair knows the threat is real. A fixture of New Orleans’s cultural life, Dominic has lived a long, public career shaped by legacy, loyalty, and carefully guarded truths. Now someone from his past is orchestrating a final reckoning—timed to his farewell concert series and designed to unfold in front of the entire city.

To protect him, Dominic hires The Guardians.

Former Army Ranger Thiago Reyes is used to danger—and to keeping his distance. Calm, controlled, and relentlessly professional, he’s not prepared for Dominic’s home, where music drifts through open doors and boundaries blur. Or for Luca Moreau, Dominic’s sharp-witted, fiercely loyal personal assistant, who’s been holding Dominic’s world together for years. To Luca, Dominic isn’t just a client. He’s family. And Luca doesn’t trust anyone whose job comes with an expiration date.

As the threats escalate from ominous warnings to break-ins and near-misses in the streets of New Orleans, Thiago and Luca are forced into uneasy proximity.

Okay, so making a viral video mocking my celebrity crush’s pretentious apartment tour isn’t exactly a strategy for finding love.

But when some random guy slides into my DMs claiming to be Anthony Devine—Grammy Award-winning pop star, LGBTQ+ icon, and owner of cheekbones that should be illegal—I assume he’s a forty-five-year-old catfish living in his mom’s basement.

However, we start chatting, and it’s the most real conversation I’ve had in ages. One month and approximately five thousand messages later, AntD has become my favorite person to talk to. He sends me funny memes, asks about my assignments, and actually listens when I rant about my cheating ex. And him insisting he really is Anthony Devine has become our running joke.

Hilarious, right?

I need to stop catching feelings for a guy whose real name I don’t even know, but meeting AntD would mean risking everything we’ve built.

What if he’s not who he says he is?

What if he is?

After having his world rocked by a hot billionaire CEO werewolf and the unveiling of a world of magic he didn’t know existed, Dakota is finally settling into being the alpha mate of the Crescent pack. With Jax at his side, he can even handle being heir of the witchwolf legacy, but before he can catch his breath, life throws him another curveball.

First, Dakota returns home after their visit to Japan with a barnacle of a ghost, and his great-great-grandfather isn’t terribly impressed with his descendant leading a werewolf pack.

Worse, they disembark the plane to a bloody welcome home. A member of the wolf pack Jax fled from has been attacked, and he carries a dire warning: The Wildwood wolves are coming, and they plan to retake control of the Crescent pack.

To protect everything they’ve built and hope for, Dakota has to own both his legacy and his future, but if Jax can’t face the mistakes of his past, they could both lose it all.

Cooper

I was done hiding. Okay, I was working towards being done hiding.

For the first time in my life, I’d accepted who I was.

An alpha who liked other alphas, and a submissive one at that.

But then, I never expected the Daddy Dom of my dreams to be the guy who I’d been a tiny bit obsessed with ever since he’d returned to Foxwood Hollow.

Patrick Morgan was an enigma. A firm Dom with a gentle hand, yet walls so high they were impossible to scale.

But boy did I want to try…

Patrick

Cooper Bailey was a temptation I needed to stay away from.

My ex left me with more issues than Vogue, but mine were strictly of the trust variety, and a soft-hearted sub like Cooper didn’t need my baggage weighing him down.

And yet, everything about him called to me. Submissive to his core, desperate for guidance, and without a doubt one of the most beautiful people I’d ever met. Wanting him was dangerous. Having him? Out of the question… Right?

Cooper needed a version of me I thought had been buried in my past, but if anyone could squeeze through a crack in my walls, it might just be my little fox.

Wanted: The Chance To Find Love Without My Heart Getting Totally Rucked

When I end up in bed with my best friend, Hunter, and our teammate’s younger brother, Aiden, it’s only meant to be one night of casual fun… but my heart has other ideas.

I’ve had feelings for Hunter for years, but I’ve never allowed myself to admit them. Not even to myself. Then there’s Aiden, whose stunning confidence is making both of us fall for him. He’s sexy, funny, assertive, and utterly irresistible, and Hunter and I are drawn to him in a way we’ve never been to anyone.

The pair of us have never considered dating each other, let alone a relationship with someone else, and I’m terrified that telling Hunter how I feel will only lead to me getting hurt.

I have to take the risk though, because I can’t bear to lose Hunter or Aiden. If not, I’ll always wonder what if…

When I catch Zach cheating at my family’s casino, I should have him thrown out. Instead, I’m drawn to his sexy smile, his reckless confidence, and the way he looks at me like I’m more than another mafia heir playing at power. When he offers to turn his skills to my advantage, I break all the rules and let him stay.

I’ve spent years trying to prove I’m more than the spoiled playboy my family expects. With a Russian trafficker seeking revenge on us, I need control—not temptation. But Zach awakens desires I’ve buried for too long. Risk. Danger. Submission.

The closer we get, the harder it is to ignore the truth: Zach isn’t just a grifter. When he saves my life and exposes himself as a government agent, our alliance becomes a deadly secret. He needs me to complete his mission. I need him to survive my world—and to finally claim my place in it.

For Zach, I may be just another mark—a role he’s played a dozen times before. He’s a master at faking attraction for the sake of the mission, but even when I learn he’s questioning everything he thought he knew about himself, I can’t walk away.

Protecting him could destroy me. Falling for him already has.

BLURB:

What if Robin Hood was still around, humbling the rich and bringing relief to the poor? The immortal Lord of the Greenwood calls upon his merry men when evil needs to be checked, and he burns with the need to bring the wealthy to heel, particularly billionaire Leander de Lisle….

John Naylor—Little John—has been Rob’s right hand for centuries, and in return, Rob has sustained him far beyond what John’s werewolf nature would enjoy. When Rob calls him from the Greenwood, John comes, and when Rob tells him they must steal the Belle Etoile diamond before Sheriff can get ahold of it, John’s down for the heist.

The game gets more complicated when Marcus gets involved.

Marcus Collins, a 21st century werewolf with some serious baggage, is barely treading water. He betrayed someone important, and while they’ve sorta made up, it’s not the same. Helping Rob—who’s apparently the real Robin Hood—take down a billionaire gives him a focus he desperately needs.

Getting close to John would help him deal with some equally important needs.

But John’s buried too many lovers over the course of his long life, so his heart can’t bear to get close to Marcus, despite the heavy temptation. The young werewolf might be damaged goods, but he knows what he wants, and his best chance of getting it is to assist the merry men when they invade the home of an uber-powerful vampire and steal a priceless diamond.

One way or another he’ll overcome John’s resistance, assuming any of them come out of it alive.

He hears my confessions.

Now he can’t unhear them.

I keep showing up to church.

I don’t speak. I don’t confess. I just sit there—close enough to remember what it felt like to be his.

Father Rafael Vitale thinks he can keep this professional.

Measured. Contained. Holy.

I’m none of those things.

I’m Alessio Trentacapelli—the technocrat of the Park Avenue Kings. I live in shadows, break systems, and protect my brothers at any cost. I still believe in God. I just don’t forgive Him for demanding the man I love.

Rafael is discipline and devotion.

I’m want and resentment and everything he was never supposed to crave.

We were boys together. Then lovers.

Then nothing we were allowed to keep.

Now we’re orbiting each other again behind a confessional screen—through silence, ritual, and everything we refuse to say out loud. Every look lingers. Every boundary bends. And every time he tells me no, it hurts worse than the last.

Because the priest with the steady hands and the quiet voice?

He remembers me.

And then we cross a line we both know by heart.

If he makes me choose between losing him again…

or giving in to something we can’t take back—

I already know which sin I’ll commit.

Coaching college hockey was supposed to be a fresh start for the next year anyway. A chance to leave behind the royal spotlight and just be Nils, the guy who loves the game. No one knows I’m a Swedish prince, and I plan to keep it that way.

Then I meet Adan. Talented. Fiercely competitive. And somehow, despite every rule and reason not to, I can’t stop wanting him.

He’s not much younger than me, but I’m assigned to work one-on-one with him. I’m technically his coach, and I’m supposed to be the line he doesn’t cross. But then we kiss and everything blurs. For Adan, it’s a first. His first time with a man. His first time questioning everything he thought he knew about himself. For me, it’s a risk I shouldn’t take—because if anyone finds out, I could lose more than just my job. Adan thinks I’m afraid of getting caught. But he doesn’t know what’s really at stake.

There’s no chapter in my playbook for this. And no easy way out—except risking it all.

He watches.

Assesses.

By the time I find him in my life, pretending this is a coincidence is already impossible.

Rowan doesn’t ask permission to stay close. He shows up where I work and where I live, slipping into the cracks of my carefully controlled life. Every offer feels optional. It’s an illusion.

Violence bound us before desire ever entered the equation. Blood came first. Obsession followed. I don’t choose Rowan because he’s gentle. Choosing him is inevitable.

And once he decides I’m his, there’s no version of my life where he isn’t already inside it.

Werewolves are new.

Dorian’s always known there are others who aren’t human but he isn’t the nosy type. Ignoring his mailman who curses about humans and the neighbor who’s in some kind of odd multilevel marketing scheme to make humans smell nice is easy.

Ignoring the obvious werewolf in the animal shelter he volunteers at isn’t going to be so simple.

Braun

Humans are interesting.

Braun’s just never thought much about humans on a personal level, not until his mate walks in and changes everything with one slightly awkward conversation.

When Theo Sinclair and Max Rivers decide to form an all-gay a cappella group, they’re not looking for choirboys—they’re looking for men who can bare their voices, spill their truths, and sing like it matters.

Auditions bring together ten voices, ten bodies, ten secrets—and what happens off-stage is just as raw as the music they’re trying to build. Kink, chaos, scars, and desire collide in the making of Rough Harmony—a band as unpolished as it is unforgettable, as emotional as it is unapologetically erotic.

This isn’t just music.

It’s surrender, sweat, and sin.

August Snow has everything except the one thing that matters most. At the peak of his career and ranked among the NHL’s elite players, August should feel like he’s on top of the world. Instead, he’s painfully alone and doesn’t feel connected to anyone—including his teammates. Then he locks eyes with a green-eyed stranger whose gaze stirs something buried deep in his past. A memory he can’t quite reach, but that calls to the hollowness inside.

Quinn Harlow is barely holding it together. Between raising his nieces alongside his brother-in-law and mourning the loss of his sister while inching toward an art degree, Quinn’s life is pure survival mode. He definitely didn’t realize his brother-in-law captained the same team as his high school boyfriend—the one who shattered his heart and vanished ten years ago—but, at least August doesn’t seem to recognize him.

Until one accusation, three glasses of champagne, and an impulsive kiss in a public bathroom changes everything.

Now August is the one watching Quinn, and Quinn is left with a choice:

Walk away and protect his heart, or let August back in just long enough to break him the way he had been broken.

But the past isn’t what it seems, and the man August has become is not who Quinn remembers.

Neither of them was prepared for how much a single kiss could unravel the horrifying truth of August’s past.

A truth that August had been hiding from everyone—including himself.
