I’m gonna crush him.

Geez, I can’t believe I had a crush on that guy in college. Sure, he’s still incredibly good-looking, but he’s a grouch. And while I like my business partner’s idea of settling our dispute with a classic bake-off, Mateo and I can’t be in the same room without fireworks exploding.

BLURB:
Blake is used to showing off his body. Baring his soul? That’s another story.
By day, Blake’s a mild-mannered bartender. By night, he’s porn legend Dirk Slocum, heating up the runway as an exotic dancer at The Firehouse, San Francisco’s hottest club. When a developer threatens to gut the building and erase everything he loves, Blake makes a daring counteroffer: he’ll take over the lease and transform The Firehouse into the burlesque club of his dreams.
There’s only one catch – Blake can sell a fantasy, but he has no idea how to run a business.
Enter Ethan: a brainy business student with boy-next-door charm who has no idea who he just asked out. Ethan likes taking things slow – cuddling on a blanket under the stars slow – the kind of sweet, get-to-know-you romance Blake hasn’t had in a long time.
As they throw themselves into saving The Firehouse, their business partnership deepens into something more. Blake wants to come clean about his past, but the truth might cost him the first man who’s seen him as more than a hot body and a pretty face.
Can he risk losing the love he never thought he’d get to have?
Brighter Than The Sun is a spicy, opposites-attract romance about found family, big dreams, and the kind of love that asks you to step into the light… even when you’re afraid of what it will reveal.
Sometimes, the bravest thing you can do is let yourself be seen.

Why is it when I see him, the only thing I can think is that he’s supposed to be mine?
Caiden – The Wayward Soul
My life was nothing but moments of pain and sacrifice, of knowing that everything would eventually come to an end. When a Reaper took me by the hand and promised to take care of my brother, I thought I could finally rest.

Chasing storms is easy. Finding the right person to chase them with isn’t.
Brian couldn’t photograph people even if his life depended on it—and yet he’s being celebrated as the next big shooting star in photography. His picture of a barn torn apart by a tornado earned him that title, a cover on International Geographic, and his own exhibition. Every day, young talents ask to tag along and learn from the new master, but he turns them all down.
Because Brian feels like a fraud.
Especially now, when he’s supposed to submit a self-portrait for an interview with the renowned magazine The Ratio Aspect.
He’s ready to scrap the interview altogether until the editor suggests bringing in another photographer to take his portrait: Theo. At the shoot, Brian can’t even bring himself to look at Theo at first, weighed down by the shame he’s trying to hide. But the moment he steps before Theo’s camera, his whole world turns upside down.
Theo has a talent Brian could only dream of: he captures the perfect shot of Brian on the first try. Even more unsettling is Theo himself. His presence and looks make Brian forget where he is.
Their connection sparks through the lens, but neither of them dares to take it any further.
Until fate intervenes.
They meet again on an app designed for anonymous encounters between men, and this time, neither of them backs out. What should’ve been a one-night stand quickly turns into something more when Theo makes an offer: he’ll teach Brian how to photograph people—if Brian takes him along on one of his storm chases.
Brian probably shouldn’t agree.
But how can he say no when his heart is already screaming yes?

Then Coral shows up on his doorstep. And keeps showing up. Until Valen runs out of reasons to turn him away.
Talon walks a tightrope between loyalty to a government he is beginning to distrust and the moral clarity he finds in the people it calls enemies — complicated further by General Cyrus, who is principled, older, and far more politically calculating than he appears. Unfortunately, he is also stunning and Talon’s leader.
Can hope survive a world dedicated to destroying? Can love endure the deepest of pains?

BLURB:
Two bodyguards. Two reporters. One network that wants them both dead.
Dane Fletcher, an elite Guardians bodyguard, builds protection that holds under pressure. It’s how he keeps people alive.
Independent security contractor Blaise Farrow doesn’t follow structure. He reads people, moves close, and trusts instincts over plans—especially when things go wrong.
They weren’t supposed to meet again after a hookup in a Boston bar. They definitely weren’t supposed to end up on the same job.
When two reporters—Stanley Cabot and Wiley Priest—have their investigations collapsed into one, Dane and Farrow are forced into a joint protection detail.
Cabot has access. Wiley has the truth.
Together, they’ve exposed Onyx Bay, a shadow network that trades in something far more dangerous than information:
Access to people.
As the pressure builds, Dane and Farrow keep ending up in each other’s beds, despite the risk.
Now Wiley and Cabot are targets. The first hits are controlled. They’re a test.
Onyx Bay is watching, learning how they move and documenting how they respond.
When the threat escalates toward a high-profile gathering on Martha’s Vineyard, a plan for a lethal attack is revealed.
Dane builds a system to hold the line. Farrow keeps stepping outside it. Both approaches can work. Until they don’t.
This time, the breach isn’t coming from the outside. It’s already inside their operation.
When the final attack comes, Dane has one choice: trust the plan or trust the man who breaks it.

RELEASE DATE: 5/13/2026
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?

Andrew has years of practice hiding his own hurt and needs, and he’s sure he can survive being Nicholas Whitmore’s fake boyfriend without breaking his own heart. Maybe.

When his emotionally-negligent parents request his presence to keep up appearances at a networking event disguised as his father’s birthday party, Nicholas is determined to prove he’s more than the disappointment they think he is. His plan to bring home a fake boyfriend hits a snag when Nicholas realizes neither his money or looks are enough to win Andrew over. He should hate Andrew’s no-nonsense peculiarities, but Nicholas rapidly finds himself obsessed. What started as a fake relationship turns anything but when Nicholas finds, for the first time in his life, something besides hockey he’s willing to fight for.

In the aftermath, their relationship feels like it’s one balance-beam wobble away from disaster; and when Danny invites Sasha to train at his gym over the summer, both of them are hoping for a fresh start.
Yet under the California sun, amid sweaty workouts and steamy kisses, the shadows between them grow longer. Danny’s tired of keeping secrets from his family and his friends, and as much as he wants a future with Sasha, he’s starting to worry that Sasha doesn’t feel the same way. Meanwhile, Sasha lives in fear of their relationship being discovered, knowing he could lose everything back home in Russia—or worse.
Will Danny and Sasha be able to regain their balance, or are they headed for a crash landing?

Fraser Gorman finds comfort in unrequited love. It’s predictable, safely distant, and forever unobtainable. Zero risk, all the feels. That’s how he’s lived for years. But then the object of his affection plucks at those feelings, pulling at threads that threaten to unravel everything, and Fray has nowhere left to turn but straight into the truth.
Tobin Tiller is broken. Has been for as long as he can remember. He keeps himself distant, building his carefully constructed walls against the rejection he knows is coming. But when he recognises the signs of the bond and who his mate is, he tries to resist. After all, rejecting the bond before Fray can reject him is what he does best.
But the threat of Lusca makes it all inevitable because that’s how fate plays the game. And the men of Tenebrae Cove are about to learn that fate will always win, regardless of their best intentions, and regardless of the rules. Changes are coming, revelations will be made, and the truth is something else entirely.
Fray and Tobin are in too deep for this to play out any other way.

Seven minutes isn’t enough for a life. But it’s long enough to remember how much I’m loved.
Eli-
I thought the worst part of losing my husband would be the slow drift apart, the way hospital shifts swallowed our nights, and silence replaced laughter. I never imagined the worst part would be dying in his ER, the flatline screaming while his hands were the last to touch me.
But death isn’t empty. Not at first. In those final seven minutes, my life plays back like a reel, and every frame belongs to him. Our first kiss. Our first night tangled together. The vows we spoke when we promised forever. Even the mornings when we forgot to kiss goodbye.
It’s all him. Always him.
I don’t know if this is the end or a cruel mercy, but I do know one thing—somewhere inside these seven minutes is a choice, a chance, or a goodbye. And if love alone could bring me back, I’d open my eyes to him every time.

Noah
I like ancient things.
I didn’t really expect to fall for a guy more than twenty years older than me, but I doubt anyone plans for such things.
No one ever believes they’ll catch the eye of a gorgeous, older billionaire, I sure didn’t—I’m a plain, boring literary agent, and Chase is beyond magnetic.
Somehow though, he’s interested in me and maybe I don’t want to resist the pull even if it means breaking a few rules.
Chase
Preserving things that should be admired is something I believe in.
I never expected a man twenty years younger than me to believe it too, but he has an old soul that calls to me from the moment we met.
His floppy hair and sweet eyes admittedly helped, but in truth what I find myself grappling with the most is, what would such an amazing man want with an old boring guy like me?

I know exactly what I want, and I’m not afraid to go after it.
Victor Kaine has been pretending not to notice me for months. The massive, tattooed owner of Ravenwood’s most brutal underground fight club, he’s all beard and muscle and carefully maintained heterosexuality. He flirts with women at Purgatory events, flexes his dominance in the ring, and acts like I don’t exist.
But I’ve seen the way his dark eyes follow me across a room. The way his jaw clenches when I’m with someone else. The primal hunger he tries so hard to hide behind that “I’m not gay” defense he clings to like armor.
So when Julian’s after-party gives me the perfect opportunity, I make my move. I strip down and drop to my knees between Victor’s massive thighs, and watch years of denial crumble under my touch. His protests die the moment I show him exactly what he’s been missing, his hands fisting in my hair as he stops pretending and starts taking.
What begins as a single night of indulgence—me riding him while Julian watches—becomes something neither of us expected. Victor can’t stay away. Doesn’t want to. The man who spent years insisting he only likes women now can’t get enough of me.
But Victor’s still fighting himself, still terrified of what this means in his brutal, masculine world. He wants me in private but won’t claim me in public. Wants to own my body but won’t admit to owning my heart.
And I’m not the patient type. I’m used to getting what I want when I want it. Even if what I want is a six-foot-four mountain of muscle and denial who’s finally ready to stop pretending—whether he admits it or not.
He thinks I’m dangerous because I’m confident in who I am.
He has no idea how dangerous I can be when I decide to make him mine.
