TITLE: Thunderstruck
AUTHOR: Beth Bolden
SERIES: Toronto Thunder #4
PUBLISHER: Self Published
LENGTH: 343 pages
RELEASE DATE: 6/22/2026
BLURB:
When Lane realizes he’s attracted to his straight stepbro, he’s absolutely thunderstruck . . .
It’s not the worst day of Lane’s life when his team, the Toronto Thunder, drafts his baby stepbro, Trevor, but it’s close.
No. The worst day was when his mom married Trevor’s dad. Trevor’s just too good, too naïve, too sheltered. Too hot.
Lane might claim he wants nothing to do with him, but that’s the worst delusion of all. He’s always wanted everything to do with Trevor. Even when they have zero in common. Even when Trevor’s always been on the straight and narrow. Literally.
Lane’s the total opposite. He’s walked—and danced and sashayed—to the beat of his own drum, forever. Mentoring Trevor now that they’re on the same team? Sounds like his idea of hell—and heaven, too. There’s a reason their teammates call them the demon twins.
But with the final few games of the season and the Thunders’ playoff run looming, Lane’s self-control is weaker than ever. Especially when Trevor confesses that he’s been thinking about it, too.
Suggesting Trevor experiment with their mutual attraction would be a terrible idea, but Lane’s had worse, and that’s never stopped him before.
And when it becomes way more than just sex? When Trevor becomes the first guy he wants to see in the mornings and the last thing before he goes to bed at night? When they’re so completely entangled together that he couldn’t get free, even if he wanted to?
That’s a special kind of thunder.

RELEASE DATE: 6/22/2026
BLURB:
Deputy Cloister Witte has a dark past, a cute dog, and an FBI agent. It turns out that all of them are going to cause him problems.
When Cloister Witte disclosed that he was dating FBI Agent Javi Merlo he’d expected it to cause some complications. Dating in the workplace always did. He’d just expected it to be red tape, conflicts of interest, and the occasional asshole who thought his sex life gave them a remit to be funny. A concerted campaign by SSA Everett Kincaid, the new head of the LA office of the FBI, to get Cloister fired hadn’t made the list.
Yet here he is, with his case history and his childhood trauma both under review.
The problem is that Cloister is good at his job, and his K9 Bourneville is even better. So when an employee from the Plenty sub-office of the FBI goes missing, Kincaid can’t afford to sideline them anymore. As they get to work Cloister starts to suspect that Kincaid’s conviction his organized crime task force is the real target is as off-target as his suspicions about Cloister.
Meanwhile, for Javi Merlo the case is an opportunity to redeem himself. All he has to do is turn a blind eye to how Larkin bends the rules. If he goes along with it he could bring down a major criminal organization, and restart his stalled career…or he destroys his relationship with Cloister and the legacy of his dead mentor.
As rumors of corruption spread, Javi must choose between ambition and the man he loves.

BLURB:
Luka was built for control.
He chose the one thing that would destroy it.
Luka Davorin
On the ice, I know exactly who I am.
Every movement has a purpose. Every risk is measured. Every mistake carries a price.
Off the ice is different.
The federation that built me expects obedience. My country expects medals. And the truth about who I am has spent so long buried that sometimes I almost believe it’s gone.
Then I arrive in Milan and see Dean Foster again, and the things I’ve spent years ignoring start demanding attention.
Dean Foster
I’ve never had much use for reinvention.
I know who I am. I know how to compete. I know how to handle pressure.
Then Luka Davorin skates into my life.
One conversation becomes two. Then ten. A glance becomes a habit. The space between us gets smaller.
And suddenly certainty feels overrated.
Luka
We were never supposed to happen.
Different events. Different flags. Different worlds.
But the Olympic Village has a way of putting people exactly where they shouldn’t be.
The closer Dean gets, the harder it becomes to pretend this is temporary.
The media is paying attention.
My federation is paying attention.
And if I stop running from the truth, I could lose everything I’ve spent my life building.
The question is whether I’m finally ready to choose something for myself.

Birdoswyn Abrecan Cranhawc-Hazelthorn is a traditional elf with a traditional name, from the tiny village of Hillstowe, and he has been raised with one imperative duty to fulfil—to marry Prince Aldian of Emberleigh. He just has to attend the Everend Market and impress Aldian with his mien, manner and magic. The cost of failure? His parents will have to continue living in constrained circumstances, forced to make their own cheese.
Elowin, the envoy sent by the prince, did not sign up to babysit a rustic innocent all the way to Everend Market. Especially one who is shocked there’s no regal carriage to travel in. But it turns out there’s more to Sparrow, as Elowin nicknames him—because nobody deserves to be called Birdoswyn Abrecan Cranhawc-Hazelthorn—than meets the eye.
Elowin finds himself drawn to Sparrow, who is as bright and curious as his namesake bird. Attraction blossoms between them, and butterflies literally burst into life when they kiss, but how can they have a future together when Sparrow is meant to marry the prince?
With magic in the air, anything can happen.

BLURB:
One firefighter. One hockey player. One slow burn neither of them planned for.
Russell “Chip” Cornish plays hockey the way his brain works best — in angles and patterns, with rules he can trust. Off the ice, the world is harder. He sticks to his routines, relies on his assistance dog Sable, and keeps most people at arm’s length. When a fire guts his gym and the firefighter who carries him out turns out to be impossible to forget, Chip finds himself doing something he’s never been good at—letting someone in.
Dane Rourke didn’t plan on remembering the man he pulled from that fire. He didn’t plan on the cupcakes, or the hockey game, or the slow accumulation of evenings that started meaning more than they should. Getting involved with someone he rescued is the kind of thing that ends careers, and Dane knows it. What he doesn’t know is how to stop.
Spectrum & Smoke is a steamy, slow-burn MM hockey romance featuring neurodivergent rep, an assistance dog who steals every scene she’s in, opposites attract, and a love story that goes all the way to Game Seven.

He should find a way to sever the connection before it costs them both everything.
But the Hargrove Coven has set its sights on an innocent child and Erath and Sidney are dragged into a war that spans both the world of the living and the dead. Old alliances give way to new ones, and everyone who thought they’d left the Coven behind them are given a rude awakening.

BLURB:
Sometimes desire shows up at the worst possible time and with the worst possible resources at hand.
Four stories. Four couples. Four wildly questionable substitutes for lube.
Each installment leans into its own flavor of chaos. Whether it’s sun-soaked nostalgia, small-town heat, Halloween mischief, or backwoods recklessness, when the feelings strike these characters must make do with whatever is within reach. Fruit, motor oil, makeup, canned goods…nothing is off-limits, and none of it was ever part of the plan.
These stories are messy, funny, a little filthy, and painfully earnest underneath it all. At the end of the day, it’s less about what they are using in order to be together and more about why they are reaching for each other in the first place.

The last thing Rowan Rangecroft expected two weeks before the start of the ALF season was to be traded to the Tucson Scorpions, but he knows the life of a professional football player comes with risks like this.
Tucson is an adjustment. He’s gone from a playoff team to one that hasn’t so much as sniffed the playoffs in five years. He’s gone from a nice house to a cold, corporate condo.

The biggest adjustment is runningback, Milo Tobitt. Milo is energetic, loud, and always moving. He also seems determined to make Rowan his new best friend, and Rowan can’t escape him. They share a locker room. They live in the same condo building. Milo even offers to give him rides to and from the stadium. Rowan can’t decide if he’s annoying or friendly, but either way, his curiosity is piqued.
Rowan isn’t sure he can survive Milo Tobitt and the Tucson Scorpions.

BLURB:
Jamie
People always tell you to be yourself, but that’s a luxury I can’t afford. Not when my desires feel wrong. Not when they’re something to be hidden and tamed, and definitely not acted upon.
When my boyfriend breaks up with me, it feels like a confirmation of everything I’ve feared. It also leaves me scrambling for a new start—and a new roommate.
Moving in with Tyler seems like the perfect solution, but it’s not. Not when living together has started to awaken needs that I’ve spent years suppressing. Which is a problem, because nothing good can ever come of falling for a straight man.
Or can it?
It turns out I’m not the only one with hang ups and suppressed needs. Tyler’s shame mirrors my own in a way that makes me feel seen. Understood. Wanted. Wanted by him.
I know this can’t last, but for now I’m his to take.
Tyler
I have long since given up on having a real relationship. I’ve tried, but what I have to offer is not enough. Or rather, it’s too much. Why would anyone sign up for that?
I thought I was doing just fine—finding temporary comfort and release in people I knew would never stay. It’s easier that way. Safer.
Then Jamie moves in with me and redefines everything.
Bit by bit, the protectiveness I feel towards him starts to shift into something sharper, more solid. And before I know it, I’m thinking of him as mine.
Would he stay if he knew about the parts of me I feel so ashamed of? Or would he grow tired of me like everyone else?
I don’t know how long what we have will last, but for now he’s mine to take.

The problem is that it’s becoming more and more likely our parents will soon run against each other in a high-profile political primary race. Milo and I have both been burned by the public spotlight before, and we understand the dangerous territory we’re wading into. When we uncover a secret that’s been kept from our parents, one thing becomes clear: Milo and I will both need to take some big risks if we plan to fight for each other.

BLURB:
Two lonely men. One mind-blowingly fantastic night. Zero chance of ever meeting again…
Or, that was how it was supposed to go.
Never in his life did Dante imagine he’d be married, much less a widower before he’d made it past his twenties. Luckier than he deserved the first time around, who’d take a chance on a grump like him now?
The past two years haven’t been easy. Losing his muse, his sister urging him to move back to the reservation, struggling under a new boss, watching as the tattoo studio he’d trained in is run into the ground?
Yeah, Dante’s about to blow a fuse.
To top it off, now he’s getting dragged online by some faceless hack on the other side of town. It’s wrecking Dante’s reputation — and his clientele list.
Overworked, underpaid, and fed up with it all, what Dante needs is to find his center; someone willing to let Dante feel in control again, even if only for one night.
And look who just walked in…
Hello gorgeous.
Wes never felt comfortable in his own skin, even before the accident. Maybe that’s why he became a tattoo artist, who knows? He’d never bothered much with philosophy, focusing on his craft instead.
It’s harder than it was before. Wes can’t work the hours he used to; stuck taking more breaks, doomscrolling and lashing out at other artists way too talented to be wasted on the dreck they’re posting online. It’s a jerk move, sure, but he can’t seem to stop. It, like everything else in his life lately, all just spinning out of control.
So when he stumbles across a man with a cocksure grin; who measures Wes up with one look, eyes glittering with mischief as he demands Wes follow him to a nearby motel?
Wes may not be the kind of guy to ever score Mr. Right, but a one-night stand right out of his fantasies with Mr. Right-Now? Oh, yes Sir.
They didn’t even exchange names.
Perfect, it was perfect.
Until…

TAI
Ten years ago, I made the biggest mistake of my life.
When Hawke left for the NHL and my hockey dreams went up in smoke, I ghosted my best and longest friend. It made sense at the time, but there hasn’t been a day where I haven’t missed him.
So when we run into each other again, and his only response is “Do I know you?”, I know I deserve it. But I refuse to let one mistake keep us apart forever. Especially when he has bigger problems, and I’m in a position to help him.
JENSEN
All I wanted this offseason was to spend my time relaxing–not getting an emergency phone call from Mom to come home. My hometown is full of too many memories of me and Tai so I avoid returning there as much as I can.
But now I have one more memory to add to the list: my high school girlfriend.
And the kid we apparently had together.
Kasen hates me and thinks I abandoned them, and my only way to get to him is through his coach. My ex-best friend. The friend that has been impossible to forget. No matter how much I’ve tried.

Three stories. One problem. The wrong person feels right.
They weren’t looking for this.
They weren’t supposed to want it.
But now that it’s started, there’s no clean way out.
Retribution
Matteo Leone is a mostly legitimate businessman—until an under-the-radar debt collection puts Connor in his hands. One look is enough for Matteo to keep him, crossing a line without a single regret. When Connor learns the truth, he has to choose: go back to the life that broke him—or stay with the man who decided he was his.
Temptation
Michel Laurant knows better than to want what he can’t have—especially when that someone is Matteo Leone’s reckless, off-limits nephew. Elio has spent years pushing boundaries, but this time he pushes too far… and Michel finally breaks. What starts as one mistake turns into something neither of them can control—and walking away might cost more than giving in.
Collision
Joey and Frankie have been at each other’s throats for as long as anyone can remember—and no one remembers why. When someone they both swore to protect is put at risk, they’re forced to work together whether they want to or not. Now that they can’t avoid each other, it’s either going to end in blood or in the truth that they’ve been fighting a lot longer than either of them will admit.

Because he knows, when the cure is found and his friend in the other cell is whisked back to their old, human life, he won’t be going with them.

Once upon a time, before the hunts, dragons were plentiful in the world. Now they exist only in legend…except in the land of Ivria.
Felix is a prince, cousin of the current king, ward of the old one. Knowing he would never sit on the throne, he set himself to become something else—the king’s best spy. Aside from a trusted few, people know him as a frivolous, flirtatious prince. They don’t see the keen mind behind the charming smile or the love of family and quiet behind the silks and jewels. They certainly don’t know he is the eyes and ears of the king. Felix still blames himself for not discovering the plot against Ivria and its king at its beginning, and he’s determined to find the remaining members of the conspiracy. If the commander of the King’s Guard will get out of his way.
Alan is commander of the King’s Guard, a role he set himself on the path toward when he was very young. He takes his duty seriously, so seriously there is little room for anything else in his life—not the pastimes he used to enjoy or family or even love. Especially now with the heightened danger to the royal family. He crushed his attraction to the beautiful Prince Felix long ago, but when he finds out Felix is more than he appears, Alan immediately becomes suspicious. Is Felix working for the king or against him? Alan won’t let himself be fooled by a pretty face that hides so much, no matter how he used to feel.
But the real danger is closer than Felix or Alan realizes, and they’re going to have to get over their animosity for each other—and deal with the desire that sparks when they do—if they’re going to survive it.

A breath. A heartbeat.
Even when it feels like an ending, it isn’t. It’s not a beginning either. It’s something narrower, a precise point in time. It’s a transition, a reconfiguration. The space between one pulse and the next. The point where one part of your life collapses inward and converges with the one to come.

But then the man who stole me is ripped away. Reese Morgan. His name still tastes like something unfinished.
Years later, I’m still chasing truth, closure, tearing through shadows that don’t want to be found. Whatever will help me move on. And the deeper I go, the more I become tangled in things I don’t understand.
Life changes people. But so does death.
If there’s something waiting for me in the dark, I’ll find it. Even if it means stepping into that space between one pulse and the next.
And not coming back the same.

Richard Doyle is the golden boy of his local rugby club—charismatic, confident, and never short of attention. To everyone around him, he has the perfect life. But beneath the swagger and late nights, Richard can’t shake the feeling that something vital is missing. Trapped in a world that prizes toughness above tenderness, he’s learned to silence the quieter longings inside himself… until a devastating injury changes everything.
When rehabilitation leads him to physiotherapist Alan Jennings, Richard is unsettled by more than the pain in his body. Alan’s calm authority, intuitive touch, and quiet compassion awaken desires Richard has spent a lifetime denying. For Alan, Richard is impossible to ignore: all restless energy and hidden vulnerability, like a man standing on the edge of becoming himself.
What begins as undeniable physical chemistry soon deepens into something far more intimate. Alan offers Richard not only passion, but safety; the rare freedom to surrender, to trust, and to be cherished exactly as he is. Yet loving Richard means helping him confront the fears and expectations that have always defined his world.
As their connection grows, Alan draws Richard into a warm and accepting circle of friends in Cornwall, where love is not conditional and family is something chosen. Surrounded by people who see beyond the mask he’s always worn, Richard must decide whether he’s brave enough to let go of the life he thought he wanted and embrace the man he was always meant to be.

Fate wouldn’t be cruel enough to mate me to the ex boyfriend of the mage I’ve been in love with for years… would it?
The last thing I want to do is help Lochlan. He was stupid enough to get himself turned into a vampire and ruin his relationship with Jareth, and that’s his problem.
I would do anything for Jareth though, and I guess that means making sure his ex doesn’t end his immortal existence prematurely just because he’s an idiot and too stubborn to feed. Who ever heard of a vampire who hates blood?
My pack rescued Jareth from certain death when we were both teenagers and I can’t remember a time before I loved him. He isn’t my fated mate though, as much as I wish he was. I’ve spent decades cursing fate, and apparently I’ve earned her disdain for it because I’ve finally found my mate…
Lochlan shouldn’t smell this good. I shouldn’t want him this much, but I can’t help myself. I hate him and I would kill for him. It looks like he’s planning to test that theory too by bringing the wrath of a fae crime syndicate down on his own head.
Is there some way to sort out this mess that fate has made? Is it possible that both of us loving Jareth and being fated to each other could somehow work? Could I have them both?
… as long as we don’t all end up prisoners of the fae, of course…
