RELEASE DATE: 7/13/2026
BLURB:
There’s a fine line between love and hate, and for Dex, Cya just might cross it.
Born into wealth and luxury, Cylene Vysov is as accustomed to privilege as they are the stifling rules it demands of them. When forced into a tutoring arrangement with Dex, an insufferable jock, Cya’s pride and preconceived perceptions are challenged, and they’re faced with a choice: hold on to their cushy lifestyle, or risk everything for a chance at real happiness.
But authenticity comes at a cost, and as far as Dex is concerned, Cya has a bill to settle.
Dex Triever might not be the smartest guy, but that doesn’t stop him from killing it in the stadium, providing for his mom and sister, or chiseling away at Cya’s icy exterior to uncover the fragile heart hidden beneath. Despite their attempts to keep him at arm’s length, Dex refuses to concede defeat, and piece by piece, Cya’s defenses begin to crumble.
What sparks as volatile friction quickly ignites into explosive chemistry, but before Cya can win his heart, Dex must first earn their trust.
Neither come cheap, but both are worth the price.

After stepping away from teaching, Dorian has taken on a new role as a professional enchanter to stop the looming threat of the Celestial Coven led by the notorious True Witch. But just because Dorian’s no longer in the classroom doesn’t mean he’s going to give up on his former students. As the twelve teens enter their first semester of internships, Dorian keeps a watchful eye over their progress. They’re stepping into the professional world of casting, and Dorian wants to ensure they each receive the best mentorships possible.
While working alongside Milo, Dorian uses the fully harnessed control of his telepathy to scour the world for leads on the elusive True Witch.

BLURB:
He says he’s ours, but it doesn’t feel like it when we’re forced to hide…
Our relationship with Richard–the CEO of Nightwork Records–claims he’s in love with us.
Claims that he wants to be with us freely, but it can’t happen.
I tried having patience. Tried being understanding. But I don’t like being forced to hide in the shadows. I’m not a fan of constantly second guessing my every move and making sure I don’t do something to alert the media and the fans that me, Spike, and Richard are seeing each other.
So, I’m putting myself first–my feelings and my heart. I’m not allowing him to hurt me anymore, no matter how unintentional he may be about it. I’m done playing these games with him.
But when we come home from our latest tour, it’s clear Richard isn’t giving up on us.
Because he’s standing in our living room, outing our relationship to our friends, and he’s not letting me make the decision to walk away.

PUBLISHER: Self Published
LENGTH: 486 pages
RELEASE DATE: 7/13/2026
BLURB:
This is everything I’ve ever wanted, exactly what I’ve spent the last thirteen years denying myself of, and it’s happening in a filthy alley with the kid I swore I’d never touch.
Carey—twenty-one, flirtatious and sun-kissed, chasing a place that feels like home. His latest bright idea? Fly halfway across the world to a town he hardly remembers, to crash for the holidays with his estranged older brother who he’s scarcely seen in the past sixteen years. Only to arrive on his doorstep to find that brother AWOL and the entire contents of his apartment strewn across the front lawn.
Tek—thirty-four, exhausted, and barely holding it together. Deserted by his best friend and business partner, he’s left to carry the weight of a tattoo shop in the aftermath of an affair that sent staff numbers from four to one in the space of a single afternoon. He keeps his world small, and his hookups controlled on purpose. Then Carey walks in like a damn storm, making Tek question everything he ever knew about himself. Including why he can’t stop thinking about the golden tan of another man’s stomach.
Tek turns Carey away but desperation rewards his persistence with a job offer, and boundaries start to blur. Tek knows better. He’s spent the last decade with the world at arms length with iron clad rules that he breaks for no one, especially not the sunshine-smiling younger brother of his runaway best friend. But the more Tek resists, the more Carey leans in, and the line between right and wrong starts to look too appealing not to cross.
Abandonment may have brought them together, but loneliness is what keeps them close. And the one thing Tek swore he’d never reach for again might just give him the extra strength he’s always needed.

RELEASE DATE: 7/14/2026
BLURB:
Hidden identities, patient love, a dark secret, and a found family that defends its own.
Everyone at the office thinks I’m the nice guy. If only they knew the truth.
At Secret Identities Inc. I’m Drew, the friendly employee determined to prove himself. Every day I greet my co-workers with a smile and more often than not, baked goods. My ability to change colors of objects isn’t useful to anybody, so I have to work harder to earn their affection. What I am after hours is a different story entirely.
I volunteer to help my boss’s boyfriend uncover a spy. The government agent assigned to ensure our success is burly, patient, and could interrogate the truth out of anyone in this city. He never once tries it with me. Late night work sessions reveal his love of literature and I can’t help but feel myself in his presence.
He’s seen more of me than expected and he hasn’t run. What’s more surprising, I’m not keeping him at arm’s length. The closer we get the harder it is to keep my mask in place.
And trust me, it’s not all shades of nice.
TITLE: Shadow King
AUTHOR: S. Rodman
SERIES: Shadowmen #2
PUBLISHER: Self Published
LENGTH: 302 pages
RELEASE DATE: 7/14/2026
BLURB:
I’ve summoned a shadow king from another realm.
In my defence, he burned my flat down, destroyed my 90s emo record collection, and tried to use me as bait to get my best friend killed. He had it coming.
What I did not expect was for him to be so insufferably, unreasonably, categorically attractive. Or for the binding to work quite so well. He’s trapped in the human world until I decide to let him go.
I’m not in a hurry.
His name is Dis. As in discord, disillusion, dismay, disaster.
I call him Disney. He hates it.
He calls me Little Witch. I don’t entirely hate it.
He is the most dangerous thing I have ever summoned. He was the weapon that carried out a coup in the Shadow Realm. He has powers that make grown shadow beings step carefully around him. He is ancient and controlled and furious about his current situation in ways he is too dignified to fully express.
He’s also stuck in my flat above a coffee shop in Bristol until further notice.
This is either the worst idea I have ever had or the best.
Probably both.

PUBLISHER: Self Published
LENGTH: 530 pages
RELEASE DATE: 7/14/2026
BLURB:
Qiang
After being outed in the most humiliating way possible, I made a list of rules. No more jocks. No more rich jerks. No more relationships. I built walls so high they couldn’t be scaled; ones that hid the lies and trauma so well, I had convinced even myself I was perfectly fine.
But then Marcus Bauer, with his intense eyes, flirty smiles, and ridiculously cheesy lines, saunters into my life. He’s everything my walls are supposed to protect me against. He’s a jock. An irrationally irritating rich boy. My housemate. And did I forget to mention he’s my brother’s boyfriend’s best friend?
In the world of nope, he’s the king, and yet I’m drawn to him despite myself. It doesn’t help at all that he wants me. Ardently. Determinedly. Loudly. And no matter how hard I fight against him, he has this uncanny talent of bringing my walls down one at a time. But my walls were built for more than just keeping people out. They were built to keep secrets and terrible truths in, and as each wall falls, more of the detrimental toxicity floods out, hurting everyone I care about.
Marcus
I’ve never really been interested in relationships. My life is pretty perfect, between football, family, and never having a problem finding a willing hookup, I really can’t complain at all. And then I meet my best bro’s boyfriend’s older sibling, Qiang Jiang, and my whole universe flips upside down.
What starts as knowing better than to mess around with them quickly turns into an obsession. I want them more than I’ve ever wanted anyone. But when that want turns into something deeper, something all-consuming, I can’t help but push. Doesn’t help that the desire in their eyes matches mine, even while their pretty mouth says no. And it doesn’t keep the protective side of me quiet at all when I see demons thrashing deep behind the desire in their eyes.
One layer at a time, their secrets start slipping out to reveal things that are darker than I could have imagined. As their trauma swallows them whole, all I can do is be the pillar they need to pull themselves back out. I just hope the wreckage doesn’t swallow us all whole before everything’s said and done.

Valentine has been in love with his best friend since they were kids, secretly worshiping Preston, while Preston dates man after man, never offering him more than brotherly friendship. When the wonderful summer between high school and college comes to an end, with Val no closer to winning Preston’s heart, Val finally admits defeat and heads to Portland State University, leaving his best friend behind. Or so he thinks.
When Val rents a room in a house with fellow students, he meets the lovely Silver, quickly falling for the man’s dark looks and sinful smile.

Deciding to leave his troubles behind, he goes with his new roommates to Limelight, the local 1980s club. There he falls even harder for Silver as they writhe and twist to song after song, the wild beat of the music and erotic moves of the dancers around them pounding in his blood.

BLURB:
Nearing fifty and recently out of a toxic relationship, Gem assumes romance is a thing of his past, something for guys in their twenties. Then he meets Gregg, who makes him think twice about this assumption.
Gregg takes him on a nostalgic date through their shared cinematic past, visiting a museum that recreates sets from classic eighties coming of age films. As they tour the exhibits, which feels like traveling through time, they share laughter, swap stories, and it feels like two pieces of a puzzle snapping together.

LENGTH: 221 pages
RELEASE DATE: 7/15/2026
BLURB:
Sometimes second chances arrive on red-eye flights…
Malcolm Montgomery will moonlight as almost anything, if you need him to do the job. While he enjoys being the preferred handyman at Snow Creek Ranch, his favorite role is full-time Uncle to his recently-widowed sister’s four kids. Working hard helps him forget he’s never managed a long-term relationship, and that he’s unlikely to find one in small-town Chance, Colorado—not until his first love books a red-eye flight right back into his life.
Ichabod “Iggy” Donohue adores being a mixologist. The job is creative, high-energy, lets him travel, and it puts a physical barrier between himself and other people every night. When his beloved Uncle Howie falls gravely ill and needs help running his saloon, Iggy has no choice but to return to Chance—his old hometown and the site of his greatest heartbreak.
Iggy and Malcolm fell deeply in love back in high school, but a viscous teenage prank left Iggy humiliated and alone, and he’s run from it ever since. He fully expects seeing Malcolm again after seventeen years will be uncomfortable, maybe even painful. Instead, their reunion is like slipping into his boyfriend’s softest sweatshirt: warm, familiar, and he doesn’t want to give it back. They’ve both lived a lifetime without each other, with only empty beds to show for it, but what if…?
Malcolm is settled in Chance; Iggy isn’t here to stay. This second chance might be exactly what they’ve both been waiting for, but they’ll have to clear the wreckage of their shared past, in order to construct a solid foundation for their happily ever after.

RELEASE DATE: 7/15/2026
BLURB:
Milo has been through a few ups and quite a few downs the past two years, but they and their beta pony don’t let anything keep them down for long. Not grief, not a cheating ex, and not even quite literally being knocked off their feet by a handsome alpha shifter. Especially not that last one, even when they miss their chance to get the tall ginger giant’s number. Thankfully, it seems like fate, or something, wants to give them another chance.
Rowan has all but given up on dating, and even making friends seems beyond him. At least he gets to work with his favorite, and only, brother-in-law and see the rest of his family when they have the time. For years, that’s been enough for him and his alpha hawk but everything changes when a bright, and very loud, shifter crashes into his life.

AUTHOR: Amy Padilla
PUBLISHER: Self Published
LENGTH: 222 pages
RELEASE DATE: 7/15/2026
BLURB:
When I first saw the headline about alien ships hovering over major cities, I did what any traumatized millennial would do. I rolled my eyes and kept scrolling.
Then the call came. Report to base. No explanation.
Before I could even process what was happening, I was yanked off Earth and dumped onto an alien ship alongside millions of military personnel from around the world.
Except these aliens—the Krezikians—aren’t here to conquer us. They’re here to stop humanity from destroying the only livable planet we have. Which is… noble, terrifying, and wildly inconvenient when you’re being “saved” against your will.
Things get complicated when I sneak out to check on a friend and get caught by Aster: gorgeous, sweet, and equipped with a set of curious tentacles that do not understand the concept of personal space. Suddenly, I’m being shoved into the role of Earth’s unwilling spokesperson, spending far too much time with my abductor-turned-ally… and discovering his interest in me might not be entirely diplomatic.
Turns out that the monsters in this situation might not be the ones from space.
And maybe the aliens who abducted me… aren’t that bad.

BLURB:
Arlo Montgomery: I told myself it was a harmless crush. After all, why would perfect Jasper Tate want me? I’m fourteen years younger than him and barely keeping my head above water. He deserves better than that, better than my secrets and past, better than me. Only… he doesn’t seem to think so. Now, I’m falling deeper by the day, and he’s falling too. It’s terrifying and exhilarating. But the person he thinks he knows, that he thinks he loves, doesn’t exist, and what happens when he finds out who I really am?
Jasper Tate: Falling in love with Arlo Montgomery was easy. Inhale, exhale, then free fall. Once I started, I couldn’t stop, and I didn’t even want to. He’s convinced I can do better, that I deserve more. But all I want is him. From the moment I met him, it was him. He’s hiding from me, keeping me at arm’s length. I’m not sure if it’s to protect himself or to protect me, but I want to open him up, drag out all the parts of himself he hides from me and from the world, and prove to him that I’ll love every single piece I find.

SERIES: WMU #2
PUBLISHER: Self Published
LENGTH: 268 pages
RELEASE DATE: 7/15/2026
BLURB:
Catching feelings six months before graduation is inconvenient. What’s disastrous is choosing to act on them.
Dean
I’ve always been a guy with a plan. Make it through college, get my degree, and move back home. Tutoring Nick Russell wasn’t in the cards, and crushing hard on him definitely wasn’t. But that sweet, smirking baseball player digs right under my skin, and I don’t stand a chance at resisting him.
All I want is to get my hands on Nick. I know what to do, what moves to make, and…he doesn’t bite. That’s fine, I guess—he’s a good friend anyway.
As it turns out, being friends is exactly what we both need for things to heat up.
A little fling to round out college never hurt anyone, but what if neither of us wants it to end? With my visa running out, moving home doesn’t look as appealing as it always has, not if it means giving up on the only guy who’s ever made me want to stay.
Nick
I’m a mess and I know it. I’m an undrafted nobody, I’m failing an elective, and it feels like I’m the only guy who needs a connection with someone before I can even consider getting physical.
That last part is easy enough to ignore. My agent’s working on the undrafted thing, and Coach got me a tutor. Dean Shen drops into my life as a calm, dreamy anchor of everything I’ve ever craved, and I can see right through that flirty basketball player’s hungry stare. What he wants from me is crystal clear, but he doesn’t push.
And him waiting is all it takes for me to break.
With graduation looming, it makes sense to settle for something physical. But if my feelings for Dean are what allow me to be physical in the first place…I don’t see this ending in anything but trouble.

PUBLISHER: Self Published
LENGTH: 148 pages
RELEASE DATE: 7/15/2026
BLURB:
I was shoved into the trunk of a car and ended up on Fear Island. It’s a Halloween park that runs all year round, staffed by people who are anything but normal, and ruled after dark by a scarecrow who only speaks in riddles.
I should have run the moment I could. Instead, I signed a contract, strapped on a wristband, and agreed to be hunted.
Now my brother owes money to the wrong people, the scarecrow has decided I belong to him, a man who takes things apart to understand how they work now looks at me with questions in his eyes, and somehow digging a hole with the gravedigger was the most fun I have had in years.
You don’t leave Fear Island the same as you arrived, and I’m starting to think I don’t want to leave at all.
Enter, if you dare. The cornfield will change you—if the scarecrow doesn’t end you first.

BLURB:
BLAKE
Three years after I kissed Andre Moreau on Centre Court, we have a life. A flat in South Kensington. A love I thought nothing could break.
Then he breaks it.
One confession. One night he can’t take back. And suddenly the man I built my entire world around is someone I don’t recognize.
I leave. I fly to the other side of the world and play tennis like a man trying to outrun his own heart. I tell myself the silence is easier. I tell myself not to look at my phone every night, waiting for him to say something that I’m not sure could fix this anyway.
Then a painting arrives at my hotel room — and it’s me. Every brushstroke says what he couldn’t.
The question isn’t whether I still love him. It’s whether I’m strong enough to go back.
ANDRE
I destroyed the best thing in my life on a night I can barely remember.
Blake is gone. The flat is quiet. My brushes are the only thing keeping me sane — and every canvas I touch turns into him. Golden hair. Blue eyes. The expression on his face when I told him the truth.
I’m trying to find my way back. Slowly. Carefully. The way you rebuild something you shattered with your own hands.
But the universe isn’t finished with us yet — and what comes next will cost us both more than either of us imagined.
Now the man I don’t deserve is standing in front of me, choosing me over everything he’s worked for. And I have to decide whether loving him means letting him stay — or letting him go.

“You will be my Dark Companion, sweetheart. I will always protect you.”
An honorable elven knight torn between duty and desire.
A human bookworm whose longing for true love may destroy him.
Nate
I’ve always dreamed of a grand love—the kind you read about at three a.m. when your heart aches and the world feels oppressive. I just never believed it would actually find me.
I’m a hopeless romantic. I fall for men who don’t stay. And the last time I trusted someone, it nearly got me killed.
Instead of dying, I was taken to the Nightmare Realm.
An elven knight pulled my soul from a dark river and offered me a bargain: my shadow in exchange for my life. I said yes, because I always do when a charming man chooses me.
Tristan is swoony, flirty, and oh-so-hot—as if every book boyfriend I’ve ever loved stepped out of the page to seduce me.
So, to hell with it, I follow him to a realm of endless darkness, monstrous beasts, and promises written in the stars.
Only then do I learn the truth: I’m bound to another elf, one who only cares about my shadow.
Ancient laws don’t care about my shattered heart, but the deeper I fall into the Nightmare Realm—and into Tristan—the more impossible it becomes to ignore the way he looks at me. How he protects me. How he tempts me into believing I might actually matter to him.
Even if loving me could cost him every vow he’s ever sworn.
And if the Nightmare Realm doesn’t destroy me first, loving Tristan just might.

I bet he didn’t realize that the threat is retroactive.

Judging by the disaster that was my last relationship, clearly I can’t be trusted choosing my own man. Thankfully, the mighty Cupid himself is offering his matchmaking services.
If Fate can’t find me my perfect man, maybe Cupid can.
But, when I see the tall, Scottish, water mage waiting for me outside the escape room, I think there must be a mistake. How is it that Cupid has selected this perfect male just for me?
It’s time for me to get locked into a room to learn if Cupid has more luck finding my mate than I do…

BLURB:
My vendetta comes first.
My only goal in life is to decimate the Enzino Family.
Kidnapping the spoiled mafia prince before his wedding wasn’t what I had in mind. But needs must when the devil drives—I just didn’t know I’d be babysitting his minion.
ArtEnzino.
Tiny, feisty, snarky, and completely insane. He walks around wearing skimpy skirts and delicate body chains while shaking his lace-clad butt. I might kill him sooner than planned; to hell with my boss’s schemes. After all, a punishment from him would be less agonizing than spending another moment dodging Art’s flirtatious advances.
I don’t know what his game is, but I won’t bite. I may be Bi, but I don’t share my bed with trash—even if he’s disguised himself as a sexy, elvish-looking twink who smells like sunshine and apples.
Art is still the enemy—son of the man who destroyed my family and brother of the monster who scarred my face and took everything from me.
I’ve waited years to savor my revenge, and now the time has finally come.
I’ll do whatever it takes to return peace to my parents, and no one will stop me. Especially not an overly promiscuous, brainless mafia prince who only cares about indulging and partying.

My family.
Or my Alpha.

Wallace Crowne just wanted to spend time with his best friends when he witnesses them fall through a fairy ring and disappear. Convinced he can’t let them go alone, he follows after them and ends up falling onto a winged fae. Literally onto him—he was sixty feet in the air and flying across a prairie when Wally collided with him.
After crashing to the ground, heat lightning forces them to flee from a brush fire. Only the fae gets a ride from his friends, leaving Wally to fend for himself. When they end up in the same village pub, Wally takes a job slinging ale since he’s on his own and needs cash to get by. But once he discovers that the fae he fell on is the Summer Prince, Wally has a new goal: abduct the prince back to the castle and make him break the curse.
Over the course of their journey to the castle, Wally learns a lot about Prince Solaris and has no problem telling him he needs to stop being a lazy bastard and start being a leader. And once Solaris quits fighting him, well, he might actually be listening.
Can this prince change his ways and win the love of a man who maybe doesn’t want to go home anymore?
