TITLE: Endless Depths

AUTHOR: Thea Verdone

SERIES: Deep Water #1

PUBLISHER: Petrichor Books

RELEASE DATE: 6/29/2026

BLURB:

How far would you go to rescue the man you love?

Cole Morrissey

A near death experience is just another Monday when you’re a crab fisherman, but my black cloud would make anyone nervous, let alone my husband.

Morgan begged me to stay home this year, but I only have one rule in our marriage: I go where you go.

It’s a decision that ruins us.

What happened broke me. I hurt the people I love, and I don’t know how to stop. That’s why I pushed Morgan away, and abandoned everyone else.

But Morgan won’t let me go so easily, and I love him too much to let him drown with me.

Why can’t he see that I’m not worth saving?

Morgan Morrissey

When I vowed until death do us part, I meant it. Cole can kick me out and break my heart, but I won’t let him throw away our marriage.

Somewhere inside the stranger I no longer recognize is the boy who chased away the darkness after my parents died. I’ll save him from himself, whether he wants me to or not.

Why else would I follow him onto the same one-hundred-foot crab boat I told him not to go on after he asked for a divorce?

But man is no match for the Bering Sea, and if we’re not careful, death will keep our vows before Cole can break them.

BLURB:

One family road trip. Two rival stepbrothers. So many secrets.

My stepbrother Jonah, with his dimpled smile and aw-shucks attitude, is honest to a fault. I’m the opposite. I use makeup and fashion as a shield and lie every chance I get.

Our mutual loathing is the only thing we agree on.

When our bickering ruins our sister’s fourth birthday, our parents plan a Pride-themed road trip with forced bonding time, room sharing, and wait…there’s only one bed? I’d rather shovel manure in my Louboutin espadrilles than be stuck with Jonah for ten days. But I can’t refuse.

San Diego Pridefest is our last stop and my ticket out of Nebraska.

When everything goes sideways, Jonah and I must work together to salvage this family vacation.

Jonah in protection-mode has me yearning for more, and in a moment of weakness, we share our secrets over a bottle of rum. Being with Jonah is nothing like I expect and everything I want.

Can we hide our relationship from our family? And what happens when we get to California?

Jonah hates liars, but the truth is one luxury I can’t afford.

RELEASE DATE: 6/30/2026

BLURB:

Sage Nakamura formed the band Kashi-sei to model visibility and acceptance. He brought together Yamamoto Haru, Watanabe (Way) Wayuu, and Suzuki Zen to change the face of J-pop.

The J-pop industry has traumatized Way. Despite being an idol, he struggles with self-worth and his hidden nonbinary identity. He joined Kashi-sei partly because he owes an enormous debt to his brutal former manager, but the band also allows Way to perform with his crush, the charismatic Suzuki Zen.

Zen is fiercely protective, driven by his own past trauma in the music industry to take care of his sister and deeply in love with Way. Zen is all about discipline, studying BDSM to keep his own control while hoping to make Way lose his. Way is the only person Zen wants to sing with for the rest of his life, but every time Zen tells him how he feels, Way thinks he’s just being flirtatious.

As their undeniable chemistry blossoms into a secret romance, they must confront demons from their past—including manipulative managers and obsessive stalkers—and decide if embracing their authentic selves is worth risking their careers and the future of the band.

My name is Preston Armstrong, and I’m the most depraved bastard you’ll ever meet.

I take what I want, ruin what I don’t, and live exactly how I please.

That is, until I crash into the force of nature that is Marcus Osborn.

Captain of our rival hockey team, and the perpetual thorn in my side.

A migraine in human form and the one person who refuses to play by my rules.

He’s my brand of heartless and just as deranged.

I set out to crush him, his career, and his infuriatingly gorgeous face.

But Marcus hits back with equal force, turning our rivalry into a violent, addictive dance neither of us can walk away from.

We were supposed to annihilate each other.

Instead, we spark a fire that threatens to devour everything in its path.

In this battle of two unhinged souls, our bodies become collateral damage.

But I never expected our stone-cold hearts to get involved.

Something’s gotta give.

Fergal decides he’s done being patient. He’s done waiting for Gregor to see him. He’ll take matters into his own hands.

But just when Fergal realizes he might have a chance with Gregor, the unthinkable happens, and he becomes king. Surrounded by enemies and with only Gregor by his side, he has to navigate leading a clan and attending the Dragon Council.

At the Council, everything devolves into chaos, and after an arduous journey, Fergal and Gregor end up with the Hightower Pack and the Doyle Clan. For the first time, Fergal thinks he has a shot at happiness.

Desperate and terrified, Noah turns to the only people who ever made him feel safe: the men of Three Bears Tactical.

Crowe usually runs the training camp, not protection details. But when Noah walks back into their world, shaken but determined to fight, Crowe can’t stand on the sidelines.

BLURB:

Benedict ‘Evans’ Crawford II

I’m a rising star on the football team.

The heir to a real estate conglomerate.

An alpha who has omegas throwing themselves at my feet.

It doesn’t matter that my future has already been mapped out for me. Or that the last time my father called, it was because I needed to be bailed out of jail. I’m always alone in the end.

This is my role. My place in society. Until him.

One reckless weekend has my world tilting on its axis.

But I will never bow to another alpha. Not now… not ever.

Hunter Ashbourne

My housemates only know me as the artist. The lover. The carefree airhead who can only cook one dish.

They have no idea I’ve finally found something I refuse to let slip through my paint stained fingers. They’re about to see a new side of me.

Mistakes were made in Silvercrest and I became an alpha possessed. Obsessed with a himbo jock. I should never have let it go that far. Now I want what I can’t have.

He can’t be mine.

Even so, that doesn’t stop me from pushing my way in.

They might have Evans, but Benedict is all mine.

TITLE: The Alpha’s Determined Omega

AUTHOR: Rebecca James

SERIES: SOS Omegaverse #4

PUBLISHER: Self Published

LENGTH: 314 pages

RELEASE DATE: 6/30/2026

BLURB:

Omegas are rare.

So rare that, until recently, few have been seen–despite the government’s claims that every omega registered is matched with an alpha mate and settled somewhere to have a family.

Where are these omegas? Why can’t their families get answers to their questions?

Six years ago, Elliott and six other adolescent omegas were kidnapped from their homes by a group of betas intent on trafficking them to alphas. The omegas were rescued by the Society of Omega Safety before that could happen. Elliott had been singled out and mistreated by his captors, leaving him struggling with a fear of alphas.

Because of this fear, leaving him no interest in mating an alpha and starting a family, Elliott believes he’s the perfect candidate to infiltrate the government omega program and gather evidence that the people involved are exterminating omegas rather than helping them. His plan: to turn himself in as an unregistered omega, find the evidence the SOS needs to shut down the program, and then….well, whatever happens to him after that doesn’t matter.

Jet, Elliott’s special ops alpha assigned by the SOS to keep him safe, has his own reasons for wanting to expose the government program, but he refuses to allow Elliott to sacrifice himself for the cause.

Why his feelings on the matter are so strong, he doesn’t know–what he does know is he’ll bring Elliott back home safe or die trying.

I’ve been called lucky all my life. Lucky to be adopted when no one else wanted me. Lucky to have been with my ex, who could’ve done better. But the only time I’ve felt truly lucky was when a stranger saved me late one night in a dark alley. Now I need to be lucky enough to find a husband before my family reunion next month. When I meet the man I’m supposed to marry, I’m shocked to realize it’s the stranger who once saved me.

Sutton

Let me in… or walk away before you ruin me.

Wes

I’ve spent my life chasing a good time; no strings, no complications, and no heartbreak. Now that I have a stable job as a physical therapist at the university, I’m ready to look for a deeper connection. Then in walks Jared “Jett” Cordier; former Olympic golden boy, track legend… and the guy I used to watch like he was untouchable. Turns out, he’s closed off, broody, and about as welcoming as a slammed door.

But somewhere between late nights and arguments that burn a little too hot, something shifts and lines blur. One heated moment turns into another, and suddenly we’re involved in something that looks a lot like friends-with-benefits. It’s supposed to stay easy, but nothing about Jett feels casual.

Jett

I had everything once. Then I lost it all—my athletic career, my relationship, my dad.

Starting over as an assistant coach is my do-over. It’s supposed to be simple: keep my head down and do my job. Then comes Wes; too loud, too charming… too much. I’m trying desperately not to be sucked in and to keep him at arm’s length. But in the end, I let him in just enough to get a taste and forget what it feels like to be falling apart.

The more time I spend with Wes, the harder it is to pretend this is nothing. I can feel my walls crumbling, and I’m afraid. I don’t know if I’m strong enough to risk everything again.

I was sent to kill him. Instead, I saved his life and signed my own death warrant.

Rowan was supposed to be my mark, but I don’t touch innocents. It’s my only rule. He may be grumpy, work outside the law, and look like he’s lost faith in humanity, but my gut says he’s not the kind of guy who usually winds up on my list. Me and my inconvenient morals, though. To keep him alive, I’ll have to find out who’s behind this. And if, while I’m helping him, he decides to thank me with his body? I’m not saying no. Except this overgrown male escort doesn’t just get under my clothes. He gets under my skin. Once I’ve decided he’s mine to protect, there’s no turning back. I’ll drop as many bodies as I have to.

Dark Romance AU is part of the multiauthor series Because Canon Sucks! It is a morally gray MM romance with a Very Large male escort who’s met his match in a mouthy, bratty hit man who he may or may not have shot on purpose.

RELEASE DATE: 7/1/2026

BLURB:

Sell the ranch or save it—either way, someone’s going to lose everything.

Jesse Knox has given his heart and soul to Snow Creek Ranch. It’s not just dirt and cattle—it’s family, legacy, and the only place he’s ever belonged. So when Lucas Barrett arrives with city clothes, sharp eyes, and a plan to sell everything Jesse loves, there’s no compromise to be had. Just a line drawn in the dirt—and a promise that Jesse won’t back down, no matter what it costs. He only owns a quarter of the ranch, but it’s enough to stop anyone tearing it out from under him, and he’ll fight to the last breath to keep it.

When Lucas needed him most, his grandfather turned him away without a second thought. Now that same man has left him a majority share in a remote ranch he’s never seen. If Lucas lasts six months, he can sell and walk away with millions that will fund beds, safety, and second chances for kids with nowhere else to turn, just like he’d once been. Only, nothing about Snow Creek fits neatly into a spreadsheet, and the more time he spends battling Jesse, the more cracks appear in Lucas’s control. Because this ranch isn’t empty land. Secrets are revealed that change everything. And Jesse Knox is anything but a problem he can solve.

Six months. One ranch. Two men with everything to lose—and no way to walk away unchanged.

Okay, maybe I’m a bit dramatic, but living next to my brother’s best friend who decided to befriend the crows that spend all week spreading garbage across my lawn is not what I signed up for.

I wanted quiet.

Unfortunately for me, North is a big presence with an annoyingly sunny smile and a way of making life sound like it’s worth living. And as a widower who wants to spend the rest of my life wallowing, the last person I want around is one who makes me question my new life’s purpose.

But these feelings can’t be real, can they? I had my great love, and I lost him. So that’s supposed to be it for me.

Isn’t that the way things go?

I can’t seem to stay away from North, even when I know I should. And when he starts to make me feel like maybe there’s another happily ever after out there, I find that as cautious as I’ve taken each step, I’m on the verge of falling once more.

Everyone in Chicago has been following the news about Diego’s injury and the last season spent on the bench. It doesn’t hurt that he’s got a major sexy brood going on in every picture I see of him these days.

The last place I expected him to show up was Sweat. But he’s looking for a personal trainer to help him get fully back in shape before the season, and I’m just the guy for the job.

Magic? Healing powers? I’m just trying to adapt as I go along. But falling for two men at once? I didn’t see that coming…

This time last year I was just a regular guy with a regular life. Nurse by day, sparkly club twink by night. Then I learned there’s magic in this world, and I almost died in the process. I’m good now. Just a gnarly scar on my belly as a reminder. Well, that and the magical healing ability.

Turns out being the only Healer in, well, ever can put a target on your back, but the local shifter pack is kind enough to lend me some personal protection. Bonus? One of my security guards is Oz, a big giant teddy bear—not an actual bear—who was rescued from a supernatural trafficking ring. He’s trying to get his life back to normal, and I’m happy to help. Dating is a normal activity, right?

Things are going swimmingly until my friend Ellis’ unfairly gorgeous, world-class PITA brother shows up. We do NOT get along. Well, we didn’t. Arch wants to clear the air between us, and since he’s the Hunter who saved Oz, I’m willing to let bygones be bygones.

Only Oz thinks Arch wants me, and he’s interested in Arch too. It’s not greedy to have both of them, is it?

Before I can decide, the evil trafficker shows up again, kidnapping me and Oz AND MY MOM. I’m sure Arch is on his way to save us, but there’s no time to wait.

This a*****e’s going down.

TITLE: Saving Troy, Finding Kellen

AUTHOR: Gabbi Grey

PUBLISHER: Self Published

LENGTH: 140 pages

RELEASE DATE: 7/3/2026

BLURB:

This set includes two connected novellas:

Saving Troy

Troy has always been fiercely independent, but no amount of willpower can overcome a badly broken leg. It’s just galling that his hospital next of kin still listed his best friend’s father, and that Rocco insists on helping.

Rocco offered up space in his one-bedroom apartment without thinking it through. Troy isn’t just his son Marco’s best friend, but also someone Rocco cares about, a young man he watched grow into a strong, independent – and gorgeous – adult. But now that bed they’re going to have to share suddenly feels a whole lot smaller.

Saving Troy is a 15k one-bed, best-friend’s dad, instalove, gay romance novella. The story previously appeared in the One Bed, Two Hearts anthology.

Finding Kellen

Seeing his dad happy hasn’t made Marco long for romance. Science is his mistress. So a quiet time of data collection at a private lake isn’t improved by running into the playboy son of the wealthy owner. Being trapped together by a snowstorm makes things worse, especially when Marco realizes he’s strongly attracted to a man he knows nothing about.

Kellen fled to the family cabin to escape his father’s anger over his crashed Lambo, and the paparazzi storm that followed. He wanted peace and quiet, and instead he gets a power failure, a freezing cabin, and a total stranger who heats him up better than the fireplace ever could. It’s a moment out of time, out of character, but a tiny part of Kellen wishes the warmth and peace could last.

BLURB:

KIT

On the court, I’m controlled. Focused. I know exactly what I need to do and when to do it.

Off the court is a different story.

I’m reckless. Impulsive. And completely obsessed with my personal assistant, Jean-Luc (Luc) Pritchard.

The way he pushes his glasses up his nose. The way that blue check shirt clings to him like a challenge. It takes everything in me not to step across the line.

But when one catastrophic mistake threatens to destroy everything I’ve built, I come up with a solution that will fix everything.

Luc poses as my boyfriend. My fake boyfriend.

Nothing could possibly go wrong.

Right?

LUC

I love my job.

I love my job.

Or more accurately, I love my boss, Kit Rothburg. Soon-to-be world number one tennis player. Brilliant on the court. Infuriating off it.

There’s only two problems…he’s a complete jerk and he likes women.

At least I thought he did.

Now I’m his fake boyfriend and it’s not like in my fantasies.

Everything goes wrong and not in the way I expected.

With my heart on the line, I’ve only got one choice. Leave now before it gets broken. Problem is Kit Rothburg is under my skin.

BLURB:

Callum Stanton

Ten years had gone by since the love of my life had left in the middle of the night. No note. No reason. No trace. Ten years of sleepless nights and searching for obituaries, just in case. Ten years of trying to pretend like it didn’t bother me and like I’d moved on. Ten years ago, I’d lost the only man I’d ever loved. Ten years later, I was staring at the husk of him in my best friend’s bar, drinking himself into oblivion. The Tobi I once knew wouldn’t even go near alcohol. But this wasn’t the Tobi I once knew, and he refused to tell me the truth.

I’d find it out eventually, though. I’d find out the truth, and I’d find Tobi. Even if it was the last thing I ever did.

Tobias Weaver

I was stuck in a never-ending cycle of hurt and misfortune. Destruction and devastation followed me wherever I went, only further proving my point.

I’d lost everything.

The only thing that made the pain bearable was to drown in vodka and forget that I used to have friends. I used to have a family. I used to be worthy of loving and being loved. That was the old me, though, and I hadn’t seen the old me in over a decade now.

I saw a glimpse of him in Callum’s eyes, though. Just a spark of what I could’ve had if I hadn’t broken his heart in order to spare him.

He claimed he’s going to find out the truth, but I’m far beyond saving, and that’s all he really wants to do. Callum had saved me once before. I wasn’t going to burden him a second time.

Not when he deserved so much better than I could give him.
