Gabe
My favorite principle in landscaping is transition. In life? Not so much.
I can’t stand change when it comes to my life. I was married to the same woman since I was in my early twenties and now I’m just supposed to move on from being married to being single. Sharing custody of our daughter.
Transition works for landscaping. It’s the easiest thing for me. Making sure there’s a natural flow in everything we do.
But that works because it’s gradual.
This feels so abrupt, it’s jarring.I don’t know how to make this change.
I’m not sure that I want to.
Dakota
I like my routine. I love being in my house, working from home and I realize that most think I’m weird.I couldn’t really care less what other people think.
But when I hire Oakley’s Crew to build a new greenhouse, I feel things starting to shift. Like it’s possible that maybe the way I’ve been living my life for the last three years isn’t as satisfying as I’d like to think.
Maybe it is time for a change.
Maybe it will be worth it for…him.

BLURB:
Caelyx – My life took a sharp dip last year when my billionaire dad confiscated my credit cards and kicked me out of the house, demanding I get a business degree before I can come back. I didn’t know how to deal, until I met Aspen Davis. He’s prickly, moody, and his emotions are guarded more securely than Fort Knox, but I’ve never wanted anyone like I want him. He claims he’s not into feelings or long term attachments, especially not with guys like me, who are used to having everything handed to them. When I finally start chipping away at his reservations, I discover we have a lot more in common than we thought. Can I convince him to get over his trust issues and realize we’re perfect for each other?
Aspen – The last thing I need in my already chaotic life is a distraction like Caelyx Vane. We’re in the same classes, have the same friends, and now I can’t even get away from him at work. It’s no secret that he has a giant crush on me, but I have to focus on keeping up my grades for my scholarship and supporting my sick mom. When he finally starts to sneak past my defenses, I realize he’s not exactly the clueless idiot I’d thought. He actually knows how to quiet all the voices in my head so I can relax, for once. Still, I don’t want to be a plaything for a nepo baby on a temporary break from his rich boy life. Part of me is desperate to give in to him, but he has to prove that he’s more than he seems.

Alden Winfield had everything.
A future at Juilliard. A life mapped out in perfect harmony.
Until an illness took his music—and left him with nothing but silence.
Desperate to feel something again, he makes a reckless decision:
He pays for a night he knows he’ll regret.
Luke is nothing like he expected.
Sharp-tongued. Beautiful. Untouchable.
A boy who sleeps on the streets, hides bruises behind a crooked smile—and refuses to be saved.
It was supposed to be just one night.
But when Alden finds Luke hurt and freezing, he brings him home.
Just until he’s better.
Just until he can let him go.
Except Luke slips under his skin, into his bed, into the empty spaces Alden doesn’t know how to fill without him.
And suddenly, walking away isn’t an option anymore.
Not when Alden would do anything to keep him.
Not when Luke would rather run than belong to anyone.
Because love like this doesn’t set you free.
It traps you.
And some cages are made of gold.

When Lysander, the sheltered son of an aristocrat, arrives and begs David to save his mother’s life, David has to try. Together, the two young men begin a journey across the UK toward an island community they hope will provide food and shelter.
Lysander struggles, longing for the security he took for granted before society crashed. He despairs over David’s hero complex and tendency to lead them both into danger. David is torn between protecting Lysander and the guilt that drives him to use his power to save the dying. Their clashing personalities, values, and ideas of what safety looks like, are woven together with an irresistible attraction that grows into something deeper. As they face the elements, other survivors, and a government desperately trying to reassert control, David and Lysander’s greatest challenge becomes staying together while fate conspires to rip them apart.

And as the black hole draws near, among ball lightning and under a cracked moon in a kaleidoscope sky, Don and Rodney will look back on their lives and ask if their best was good enough.

In these unguarded moments, all those problematic, confusing red flags fade to the background.
Maybe he’s right and I shouldn’t mess with him, but for frat’s sake…where’s the fun in that?

On the hunt for hidden treasure, two former best friends turned adversaries must put the past behind them if they hope to make it home.
When he isn’t training as a Warden to become half the hero his father was, Griff Sayer is in the business of breaking hearts all across the town of Mayfair, although that slows down after settling in with his current boyfriend. Griff’s ex–best friend, Mal Pryce, meanwhile, is in business with whatever or whoever puts good money in his hands. Now in their mid-twenties, Griff and Mal have only exchanged scathing looks and carefully barbed jabs since the fight that sent them their separate ways years ago. But all that begins to change when an attack Mal plotted for his shady boss leaves Griff near death and their childhood friend Alys as his savior, forcing them back into each other’s orbit.
Livid at his boss, Mal makes a deal to earn his freedom and Griff’s safety. He has just four weeks to retrieve an ancient treasure from Rotrose Mire, a remote swamp known for its ghostly and beastly dangers, the same treasure Alys’s beloved father, Rhun, had been searching for when he disappeared for good. Armed with a map and a broken blade of Rhun’s, Mal sets off—with Alys and a reluctant and newly single Griff in tow.
Yet the explosive tension between the two men—along with the dangers of the mire pressing in around them—makes for a more difficult journey than any of them could have anticipated. As Griff and Mal peel back their tough facades and shared feelings heat up in unexpected ways as they learn to trust again, they also realize that someone—or something—seems to be following their path. Someone who doesn’t want them to succeed, no friend to their parents’ old enemies, but also no friend to would-be heroes…

But their relationship is also history and has been for fifteen years.

And Sandro and Bennett may discover that some stories deserve a sequel.

BLURB:
Alexander Blanc III, King of Vampires, should have died two centuries ago.
Instead, he was sealed inside a metal coffin, forced into eternal sleep and fed blood once a month to keep him docile. The blood was meant to silence him.
It didn’t.
It bound him.
While trapped in darkness, Alexander dreams of a woman made of scent and hunger—of desire so vivid it seeps into his bones. Her blood becomes his addiction, her presence his only tether to sanity. When the priest tasked with keeping him asleep fails, Alexander awakens with one purpose burned into his mind: find her.
But fate has a cruel sense of humor.
The blood that sustained him was never a woman’s.
It belongs to Boaz—a reclusive alpha wolf who wants nothing more than solitude, his quiet cabin, and the distant hope of one day claiming the woman he loves. Until a vampire king appears at his door, demanding what he believes is already his.
Now Boaz’s blood calls to Alexander in ways that blur hunger and desire. And Alexander doesn’t know whether he wants the wolf… or wants to own him completely.
As their connection deepens and their resistance crumbles, old enemies stir, drawn by power, blood, and prophecy. With danger closing in, Boaz and Alexander must decide what they’re willing to sacrifice—to defy fate, to survive, and to protect everything they hold dear.
Because some bonds are forged in blood.
And some awaken monsters no one can control.

BLURB:
Ego wasn’t supposed to survive his first death.
Waking up with fangs, a relentless hunger, and a maker who taunts him from the Dreamveil was never the plan. Escaping to Willowhope, Ego plans on hiding in his mini-castle until he figures out how to handle being a popstar and a bloodsucker at the same time. Instead, he’s trapped in a new reality he doesn’t understand, where the rules are different, the stakes are higher, and control feels just out of reach.
Willowhope has a way of collecting the broken, though. Surrounded by a found family that refuses to let him fall apart, an ancient vampire determined to teach him the rules he doesn’t want to follow, and grumpy, no-nonsense Scotty, who challenges him at every turn, Ego finds more support than he’s ever experienced before.
Especially by Scotty. Scotty, who doesn’t just see what Ego has become but pieces together the broken man who’d been hiding behind flirty banter and innuendo.
It should be simple to keep his distance. It always had been with Scotty’s distrust in him, but the more time they spend together, the harder it becomes to ignore the sharp, inconvenient, and impossible to control pull between them. What started months ago as friction turns into something neither of them is prepared for.
As the Dreamveil begins to shift and something darker stirs beneath the surface, Ego realizes his transformation is tied to more than just blood. His maker is coming, the danger is closing in, and the fragile control he’s fighting for might not be enough to keep the people around him safe.

BLURB:
Finn Gallagher’s new life plan is simple: raise the son he never knew he had, help his mom run the family bakery, and stay as far away from pro hockey drama as possible. Then he accidentally nails his most hated rival in the head with a cupcake…
Retiring from the league and moving back to the quirky small town of Clover Ridge was supposed to be a fresh start. Finn is now a full-time dad, part-time baker, and definitely not interested in thinking about the years he spent clashing with Mateo Rodriguez on the ice.
Mateo, meanwhile, is only in town for the off-season, training at Clover Ridge’s elite rink and enjoying a quiet summer of festivals and fresh air. He did not expect to be assaulted by baked goods — or to discover that his longtime nemesis is now a grumpy, flour-dusted single dad.
The town’s nosy matchmakers are convinced these two rivals are secretly in love and start orchestrating plenty of “accidental” forced proximity. Between shared ice time, festival chaos, and one very determined pint-sized matchmaker, old grudges start to melt into something far more dangerous: chemistry.
Can two stubborn ex-rivals turn a messy past — and a cupcake-fueled first impression — into a real shot at forever?

But if I let him into my world, the monsters circling this town will tear him apart. I’m the Alpha. But I’m not sure I’m strong enough to keep him alive.

For months, I’ve been haunted. Every night, I’m pulled into dreams of a small mountain town where Reed waits for me in the dark. I wake up exhausted, obsessed, and terrified that I’m losing my mind.
Then I discover that these dreams mean Reed is my destiny. And he’s known it all along.
Reed says his world is too dangerous. But if the wolf thinks I’m going to run, he’s dead wrong. He might be the Alpha, but what he doesn’t know is that I won’t stop until he’s mine.

He’s always been the only man who made me wonder if I was as straight as I believed.
When they come for him, I stop wondering. Badges. Guns. The whole ugly machine.

Devon
I learned my worth a long time ago.
From the moment I was born, I was taught to believe that love is conditional. I’m only kept around as long as I’m useful.
Christian is no exception.
He needs a distraction, a new project, and who better to play with than someone who pretends to feel nothing at all?
The hot shot wants to save me, but I’m beyond redemption. And the moment he decides I’m worth something is the moment I have the power to destroy us both.
Christian
I’ve been chasing adrenaline my entire life.
The rush of a loud engine, that moment my feet catch air at high speed. My bike and my friends are all I ever needed.
At least, until they moved on without me.
Now nothing feels the same.
When a ghost from the past drops into my lap, I tell myself it’s temporary. Just something slow and steady to keep the loneliness at bay.
Trusting Devon burned me once, I’d be a fool to do it again.
The more I get to know him, though, the more I see beneath his mask.
I just hope it’s not too late to love him the way he deserves.

A LOVE THAT COULD BURY US BOTH.
Four years of silence, two thousand miles, and a love their parents will never forgive.
STONE It wasn’t Hanlon’s fault our parents pampered him while pushing me to the brink. But I still resented it. I left to get out of Hanlon’s orbit, to live my life without having to worry about him. Four years later, we’ve barely spoken until he shows up on the doorstep of my ski patrol office, ready to start his internship. Neither of us is thrilled. It doesn’t take long before my protective instincts kick back in, but so do the lessons I taught him all those years ago. When his independence threatens his safety, I realize my feelings for Hanlon have shifted, creating a problem bigger than any avalanche threatening this mountain.
HANLON My diagnosis left me with physical limitations most people get hung up on. Except Stone. He’s the one person who always made me feel like I could do anything. And then he left, never knowing how much his absence nearly destroyed me. I didn’t ask to be placed at Ricochet Ridge, but as Stone and I figure out how to work together, the energy between us shifts. When he finds out I’m gay, it shifts again, threatening to pull us both under.
THE RISK Their connection is a ticking time bomb. If their parents find out, the fallout will be catastrophic, tearing the family apart forever. But on the mountain, the “rules” of their family tree feel less important than the heat rising between them. Stone remains the only person who looks past Hanlon’s physical struggles to see his strength, creating an intimacy that is as healing as it is dangerous. Attraction isn’t the only danger on the mountain. With each new inch of precipitation, the snowpack weakens, threatening to break free, and while the threat of an avalanche feels metaphorical, the physical danger it poses is paramount.

If there was a meme for being a total cliché?
That would be me.
It wouldn’t even need a description, just a pathetic snapshot of me in my threadbare pyjamas, standing at my filthy kitchen table, staring into the wall like a loser.
Because that is exactly who I was. The middle-aged widower caught up in his very own hell of a midlife crisis. The guy who wasn’t over his dead wife. The single dad. Pathetic, Peter. Utterly pathetic.
The guy who thought… I didn’t know what I’d been thinking. Because if someone had told me that at forty-five, I’d willingly go on a reality-TV dating show?
Yeah. You get the picture. The memes were brutal. Every single one of them was bouncing around the internet like a contagious super virus. The internet was forever. And so was love.
It wasn’t who I was, this…this joke of a man I’d become. It never was, and now? Now I was standing here wondering how I would ever leave the house again.

When I was a kid, I thought I was invincible. Turns out…sometimes I was. Sometimes my confidence took me places, and anyway. When I fell? I got up. Made a plan, organised my options and ran with the obvious solution. I was good like that.
But I hadn’t counted on…this one plan going so very, very wrong. So terribly, awfully wrong.
Because my requests were simple and easy. Youngish, around my age. No facial hair. Nice. No kids, no baggage.
Also gay.
And then? They gifted me…Peter Fenton. Everything I hadn’t asked for. And now he is all I want.
So…should I save the date? Or just swallow down the fact that Oliver Jacobs…just made the biggest mistake of his life.

In reality, Julian can’t stand most people, he doesn’t have relationships, and if he’s alone with you it usually means you’re his next victim.

Julian’s and Wynn’s lives erupt into chaos, and Wynn finally discovers who Julian truly is.

Not everything that looks broken needs fixing — it just needs the right conditions to grow.
Growing up on the red sand beaches and farm fields of Prince Edward Island, Silas Gallant and Levi Campbell were each other’s whole world. They were best friends who understood each other in a way no one else ever could.
But as the easy freedom of childhood gave way to the weight of expectation, the life they shared slowly began to shift. Levi left the island to chase a future in agricultural technology and a world bigger than the fields he grew up in, while Silas stayed, rooted in the safety of his family’s potato farm, and in the belief that people will always leave.
Years of silence and hurt pass before their distance closes, when Levi finds himself contracted to support a farm back on PEI — on the same red soil he once ran with his best friend. Old hurt lingers, turning familiarity into tension neither of them knows how to navigate — until slowly, they begin to let each other back in, and question if they ever truly split apart.
Among summer sunsets, red sand beaches, lighthouses, and open fields, Silas and Levi begin to find each other again — learning that they were never meant to stand on opposite sides of the same ground.
And that without each other, their hearts could never be whole.

Say it again, I need to hear it slow
Tell me I’m not on my own
When the world caves in, you never flinch
You say you’re with me—say it again
Say it again, with your mouth on mine
Every ache in my chest lets go, unwinds
I’ve been waiting for something to break
Say it again, tell me you’ll stay
Say it again when my head’s too loud
When I’m too weak, too tired to be proud
I don’t need much, I just need this
Tell me I’m not alone—say it again
Say it again, whispered in the dark like that
Like you mean it, like you’ll never take it back
Everything goes quiet when you say my name
Say it again, tell me you’ll stay
Say it again, I’m worn so thin
Too tired of fighting this pain I’m in
When you say you’re here, I can finally breathe
Say it again—stay forever with me

BLURB:
Nate’s at rock bottom.
Kicked out just days before Christmas, he’s got nowhere to go and nothing left to lose—until he runs into Xavier, an old school friend. Their lives couldn’t be more different now, and Nate can’t shake the feeling he doesn’t belong anywhere near Xavier’s world.
Xavier has it all.
Money. Success. A life most people would kill for. But none of it has fixed his inability to truly connect. After one failed relationship too many, he’s done trying—until Nate walks back into his life and makes him question everything.
The pull between them is impossible to ignore, but both men carry scars, and trust doesn’t come easily. What starts as something tentative soon becomes harder to walk away from—and the more time they spend together, the harder it is to pretend it isn’t something real.
And a future neither of them thought possible might be closer than they think.

BLURB:
I ran away at eighteen—the night my younger brother pulled a gun and cost us everything. While he was caught trying to outrun the Oakland police, I escaped by boarding a northbound bus, carrying nothing but fear and the need to disappear.
After years of drifting, I found myself in Crescent City. A local bar owner took a chance on me, allowing me to rebuild my life. For the first time, I felt like I might deserve something better than I’d left behind.
Then a massive storm hit our quiet coastal town.
A photographer from a San Francisco TV station came to cover it, and from the moment I met Bryce—the ginger-haired, hazel-eyed man who stole my breath—my carefully rebuilt world shifted. What started as an unexpected attraction deepened into something neither of us saw coming, rooted in traumatic scars we shared and didn’t speak of easily.
When a culinary scholarship pulled me back to San Francisco—the last place I ever expected to return to—the past I thought I’d left behind surfaced.
I have to decide whether to keep running or stand my ground for the life—and the man—I love.

For years, I wasn’t human and didn’t want to be. It was easier to be the Beast, pacing in my cage until my handlers let me out to fight. I didn’t speak, didn’t have a name. My existence was brutal, but it was simple. I understood it. Accepted it.
But everything changed when Lucas was thrown into my cage with me, when I claimed him as my own—when I realized I would do anything to protect him. That meant getting us out, to somewhere safe.
And that’s what I did. That’s where we are now, in a good, safe place. Except, it doesn’t feel good to me. I don’t belong here. Nothing about me makes sense here.
I’m trying to make it work. I want Lucas to be happy. But the past keeps intruding, and the problem is … I want it to. I make sense in that dark space. But Lucas doesn’t, and I don’t want him there. So what the hell am I supposed to do?

BLURB:
Getting over your ex is hard. Crashing his Vegas wedding with your hot best friend should help.
Cam is fully prepared to be mature about his ex getting married.
By “mature,” he means road-tripping to Las Vegas with Vance, looking hot, making questionable choices, and absolutely not dwelling on the fact that the groom is marrying the same man they both used to have a thing with.
Vance has his own reasons for saying yes to the trip, but fake dating Cam was never supposed to feel this natural. Neither was the motel-room tension—or the moment Vance realized he wasn’t pretending anymore.
The plan was to survive the wedding.
The plan was to leave with their dignity mostly intact.
The plan was definitely not to fall for his best friend somewhere between the open road and the Vegas Strip.
But in a city built on bad decisions, Cam and Vance are about to gamble the one thing neither of them can afford to lose: their friendship.
