TITLE: Dragons Can’t Date
AUTHOR: Lisa Oliver
SERIES: Three Dagons and Sam #1
PUBLISHER: Self Published
LENGTH: 512 pages
RELEASE DATE: 7/20/2026
BLURB:
A new light-hearted cozy story from Lisa Oliver
Once upon a time, there were three dragons… No, this is not a fairy tale, but rather a story about three dragons who were fated to each other, and who now lived among humans in the hopes of finding their fourth – their Treasure.
Mabon was the money man, Urien loved to garden, and Rux…well, Rux had a lot of energy and could cook amazing meals. The three dragons had been together for over a hundred years, and were settled, accepting that they were one of many triads who hadn’t found their Treasure yet. Until one day when Rux was grocery shopping in town and his heart stone appeared.
Sam, a twenty-seven year old barista, spent his days tempting locals into trying unusual coffees and his evenings tending to his cat, Basil. When he had spare time, he wrote fantastical stories about amazing paranormals who found love with ordinary humans. It was pure escapism, and Sam never intended to publish his writing, but it was fun to have a hobby when his dating life was non-existent.
If this had been one of Sam’s story, everything would’ve been fine. The suave paranormals would’ve swept their clueless human off his feet and the HEA would be guaranteed. But our dragons don’t know anything about dating in the modern world, and definitely nothing about dating humans. Rux, Mabon and Urien are keen to learn, but will Sam be patient enough to wait for them to finally state their intentions?

So when a wealthy client offers him a job that involves traversing Shiftleaf—an enchanted forest that claimed his father decades ago—he reluctantly accepts. The forest is treacherous, but the money will change his family’s lives.
The journey quickly turns perilous. Fleeing from monstrous birds, Arthur stumbles upon a hidden vale where he meets the Lord of the Wood—a figure from his father’s many stories. Instead of the fairy prince Arthur always imagined, Ira is a morose man, slowly transforming into a beast, his power over a dying forest waning.
Arthur enjoys the safety of the vale, and Ira’s company. But he yearns for his family. To safely return home and rescue Ira from a cursed and lonely existence, Arthur and Ira must reach the heart of the wood to heal the forest. Except the further they venture from the vale, the more beastly Ira becomes. If they can’t complete their mission before he turns completely, Arthur could lose the man he’s falling for—and never see his family again.

Wood Hollow is the perfect place to raise a child. It’s quiet, safe, and the folks here are friendly.
One glaring exception is the grumpy lumberjack…who ends up being besties with my surrogate. What are the odds?
Yeah…this will be interesting.
Viggo

PUBLISHER: Self Published
LENGTH: 72 pages
RELEASE DATE: 7/21/2026
BLURB:
A surgeon with a god complex. An attorney with zero patience. One reckless moment that changes everything…
I don’t do impulsive.
I do order and structure. I do airtight arguments and depositions that make egotistical surgeons sweat. Protecting the families of Hobie, Texas, is my job—and I’m damn good at it.
Which is why dragging Dr. Xavier Rhodes into a dark, empty hospital room is… wildly off-brand for me.
Xavier is everything I avoid. Arrogant. Smugly gorgeous. Infuriating at every turn. And unfortunately? A brilliant surgeon with hands capable of things I absolutely should not be thinking about.
Our “one-time” lapse becomes a habit—hot, stolen moments between two men who don’t have time for anything real. It’s messy. It’s addictive. And it’s the most alive I’ve felt in years.
But when a life-or-death emergency throws us together, the truth hits hard:
I can keep the careful life I built…
or risk everything for the complicated man I can’t walk away from.

Your computer has stopped responding.
An orc will now reboot your heart.
Greg
IT is supposed to be about systems, servers, and keeping chaos at bay. But then Sean Rivers walked in—human, grumpy, and a disaster with technology. Suddenly, patching servers comes with heated glances, playful banter, and some very hands-on troubleshooting. He’s got my world of logic and code crashing spectacularly… and I wouldn’t have it any other way.
Sean
I didn’t sign up to be anyone’s project—least of all a hulking, ridiculously cheerful orc who could lift me like a sack of flour. Yet here I am, navigating magical office chaos, endless forms, and Greg’s relentless charm. Between the flirty teasing, stolen touches, and squirting candies, a chemistry bubbles I can’t ignore. Maybe some problems can’t be solved on my own… but I never expected help from a nerdy orc with thick black glasses and shoulders that won’t quit.

As World War I approaches its first Christmas, the soldiers in the trenches are already tired of it. Both sides assumed a quick and easy victory, but nothing about this war has been easy. Wulfric, a German soldier, lost all hope the day he lost his lover, Edmund. To him, the joys of Christmas only bring him more grief as he thinks of everything Edmund can no longer experience. Then, in the process of negotiating a truce for the holiday, Wulfric meets Jack, an Englishman, whose striking resemblance to Edmund makes Wulfric initially mistake him for a ghost. How could this day break his heart even more?
Jack immediately notes how sickly Wulfric appears compared to his comrades. His concern leads to curiosity, and while there is peace in No Man’s Land he takes it upon himself to cheer up this enemy soldier. Along the way he realizes his attraction to Wulfric goes beyond altruism, but when he learns about Edmund his notions of romance crumble. Except Wulfric’s feelings toward Jack grow from trepidation to gratitude to something he hasn’t felt since Edmund died, something he didn’t think he would feel again. Can they both put the ghosts of the past behind them? Or will their future remain an elusive specter forgotten on the battlefield once the truce ends?
TITLE: What’s Love Got To Do With It
AUTHOR: Robin Lynn
PUBLISHER: Idle Winter Press
LENGTH: 170 pages
RELEASE DATE: 7/22/2026
BLURB:
WHEN BLAKE LAWRENCE SIGNS ON to round out the cast of hitmaker Streamflix’s spicy new reality show, his leap of faith is mostly based on the splashy ad call, regardless of what his nosy brother and borderline-tragic social life might suggest. Brimming with colorful promises that almost suspiciously mirror Blake’s idea of the perfect hookup scene, he’s not entirely convinced he hasn’t already been seduced.
So what if he has?
Considering the worst-case scenario amounts to an all-expenses paid getaway (at a luxury island resort with amenities that include VIP access to a stocked buffet of 4K Ultra-ready bodies, all belonging to professionally pre-screened, DTF singles), even Blake can admit that he’s had worse offers. If nothing else, there’s a cash prize up for grabs, and he’s no billionaire.
Suffice it to say, this trip is not about love. In fact, love is damn near the last thing Blake is expecting to find on the island, least of all via some romcom-worthy meet-cute and an instant, profound connection with another commitment-phobic contestant…on day one.
What’s a (brand) newly-reformed playboy to do? Especially upon discovering that the object of his unwitting affections, a captivating and quirky, orgy-loving hippie type named Paxton, of all things, not only sees him, but somehow, against all odds, claims to feel the same?!
Enter: Production, always on time to fan the flames!
With Blake still reeling from his encounter, the earbud-hoarding, narrative guardrails he’s come to know as producers drop a Primetime-worthy twist that leaves all the participants questioning everything–including their place in Paradise. It should be an insurmountable disappointment to Blake’s practiced playboy persona when he learns the show’s true intentions, but despite his shields and scars, Blake finds himself daring to hope that this is the sign he’s been waiting for.
All that’s left to do is sort out whether he and Paxton (and all the baggage they carry) fit together in more ways than–well, the obvious.

RELEASE DATE: 7/22/2026
BLURB:
Rowan:
Moving to a tiny town for the summer because of my joyless job was not ideal for a city bigfoot like me. I’d be much more pissed if Wendigo Hills wasn’t surprisingly welcoming and the barista in the coffee shop wasn’t so damn cute.
Milo:
I was destined for chaos, not juggling work and school while wanting to visit my closest family member, Ethel, in a nursing home.
It would have been another busy but boring summer if I hadn’t followed Ethel’s advice to get some action just as a hot and hairy bigfoot moved into my hometown.
What started as a summer fling quickly turned into heated dates and feelings neither of us expected.

PUBLISHER: Self Published

RELEASE DATE: 7/22/2026
BLURB:
I might be a successful social media influencer, but do I have the skills to draw Colt Beckworth away from Snow Creek Ranch?
Snow Creek Ranch, Colorado, is so far removed from my preferred city life that I wonder if I made a mistake coming here. No suits, crappy internet, and everyone knows the new guy in town immediately.
The scenery is nice, though. And by scenery, I mean the cowboys on the ranch. One cowboy in particular. Forget the majestic mountains and the serenity of Snow Creek; Colt Beckworth puts them both to shame with one perfectly timed smile.
He’s the tall, silent type. While not exactly a willing collaborator in terms of helping me do my job, his shy smiles and slightly awkward exchanges make it easy to like him, though. Especially when he takes the time to listen to me ramble about hashtags and photo filters when he has a million better things to do.
I didn’t come here looking for forever, but Snow Creek makes me believe I might have found it.
Can I influence the shy cowboy to take a risk with me when my contract is up?
Or am I leaving Snow Creek Ranch with my heart in pieces?

Gideon has had complete control of the town and state he lives in for two years, and powerful people answer to him. His twins are thriving, his love for Penn is unshakable, and life is good…until the glass shatters and it all comes crashing down. He’s forced to fight back, which risks not only his empire but the lives of those he loves.
Penn’s life is nothing like he imagined it would be. He has the love of a gorgeous man, the adoration of his twins, and a family who, though meddling at times, would jump in front of a bullet for him. It doesn’t matter that Penn feels no pain or fear; they treat him like he’s fragile, and sometimes he’s okay with that. But when danger rolls into town, threatening those he loves and the life he’s built, he wonders if this feeling that’s leaving him so cold could be fear.
Gideon and Penn’s happily ever after is tested as everything around them crumbles, lives are destroyed, and empires fall. No strangers to fighting for what’s theirs, they find themselves facing an enemy like no other before. Their love has burned so bright, but when the last shot has been fired, it could mean their end.

And then I realize he doesn’t recognize who I am.
Chase sees me, not just the hot new actor. And he’s in pain.
He’s straight, but he wants to try something with me.

Logan is everything I’m not.
He’s perfect. Golden-haired. Then I find out he’s a star on TV.
I’m pure chaos, wrapped in a red-flag bow with a sprinkling of ADHD and touch fixation.
I admit my hands are needy, but he’s starved for touch, too.
I don’t do this with men, but he’s mysterious. Intriguing. So different from me.
My art is my world, and I paint in neon, take vivid photos, and want to capture him, too.
I’m getting possessive, greedy, hungry… addicted to his touch.
He’s not mine.
But when we’re together, I tell him he is. Over and over again.
And I’m starting to believe it.

HAZARD
Joining the infamous Mike Bravo Ops to meet the godfather I never knew doesn’t go the way I expect. I’m hoping to meet the man I’ve only read about in my late father’s journals, someone who’s warm, caring, and a ride or die. But when I arrive, all I get is coldness and hostility from someone who doesn’t even want to know me.
I don’t understand how he can be the same man my father wrote so passionately about. Or why I find him annoyingly attractive.
DECAF
I’ve been through a lot in my lifetime—rejection from my family, enlisting in the military, a literal warzone—but nothing, nothing, comes close to the day I lost my best friend.
He’s the reason I have nightmares and hate sleeping, the reason I drink so much coffee. Now, his grown son shows up in my life, and there are so many reasons I don’t want him anywhere near me. Mike Bravo Ops is dangerous, and if Hazard stays here, there’s no way I can fulfil the promise I made to his father to protect him. The best way I can do that is if he stays as far away from me as possible.
But he has a familiar stubborn streak, and when he refuses to leave, he gives me no choice but to commit to my protector role.
If only I didn’t find it so confusing.
We have a connection, but how genuine can it be when the ghost of his father haunts us both?

I know how to make people fall in love for a living. What I don’t know? How to make it happen for me.

I want him.
Hunter
I don’t do chaos.
I don’t do complicated.

One dance turns into something more, and the closer he gets, the harder it is to keep my distance.
That’s the problem. Because I know what happens when you let someone in.
But losing him?

For Ford, the wide-open skies of Oklahoma offer not just a break from the past but a chance to build something real with the one man he should resist.
Trading skyscrapers for silos wasn’t part of Ford Bastian’s life plans, but after his best friend found themselves in a perilous situation, he’s now standing on the cracked porch of his father’s old farmhouse with three new half-brothers and a whole lot of second-guessing. Oklahoma was supposed to be a temporary escape, a place to regroup. But the longer he stays on the Bastian Acres ranch, the more he’s coming to realize just what this new family means. And to add to his confusion is the local vet who’s got more charm than a small-town Fourth of July parade capturing his eye every time they meet.
Aiden Hennessee is everything that Ford isn’t. The go-to large animal vet for Bastian Grange is flirtatious, witty, a known bed-hopper, and so incredibly handsome that Ford is having trouble keeping his soft center protected from the veterinarian’s provocative passes. Even when Ford knows he should keep his distance, Aiden keeps drawing him back. With Ford’s past creeping ever closer, can the fiery attraction they share be enough to bridge the gap between two very different men?

But Donovan makes me want things… to be more than a monster. I don’t know if I can stop myself from craving the way his blood would look on canvas long enough to become something different, or if wanting his heart is nothing more than my sadistic muse demanding his destruction.
Donovan
My world is simple: pucks and pads. I’ve dedicated my life to hockey and becoming the elite goalie I am. It’s all I’ve ever wanted. All I’ve ever needed. But then there’s Shiloh. A talented artist who keeps secrets, hiding the truths of who he is away from me. As beautiful as he is unpredictable, Shiloh is the only thing outside my career that I truly crave.
Trying to figure him out keeps me on my toes, but the more I uncover, the darker it gets. His art is brutal, his hands create by destroying, and though I know I shouldn’t, I give him my heart to hold. He’s more than the monster he thinks he is, but if all he can see is his doom, then we’ll be doomed together.

Kraken aren’t meant to be seen—but I chose the stage anyway.

I want him. I want something real.
Loving him means choosing a life I was never planning to stay in, but I don’t know how to stop running.
Leif
Being a drum tech means fixing what’s broken.
Aliko isn’t broken—but he acts like he is.
I see it in the way he disappears after shows. In the way he holds himself back, even when he’s right in front of me.
He says this isn’t forever… like he’s already halfway gone.
I don’t care if he’s human or a monster.
I just want him to stay long enough to believe he belongs here.
With me.

powerful royal dragon shifter. A clueless human. A mate bond powerful enough to change everything.
Archer Moore has spent his entire life being told he’s too much—too needy, too dependent, too easy to leave behind. When even the one man he trusted confirms it, Archer does the only thing he can: he runs. Across borders, across oceans, anywhere that doesn’t feel like right.
Then he stumbles into San Noctis.
Drawn to the town by something he can’t explain, Archer barely has time to wonder if he’s finally found home before a violent encounter in the surrounding woods leaves him injured, terrified, and certain he won’t survive the night.
Romilly Saint has waited decades for his mate. As King, he could choose anyone to stand at his side. Power-hungry suitors and political alliances mean nothing compared to the bond he’s been denied for far too long.
When Romilly finds a wounded human in the woods, he knows Fate is involved.
The bond is instant. Unchangeable. And Romilly knows one thing with absolute certainty: Archer was never too needy. He was only waiting for the right man to care for him. Romilly has no intention of letting his mate doubt his worth ever again.

One hopeless romantic elf (emphasis on the hopeless.)
One ambitious merchant elf (emphasis on the ambitious.)
One week that changes everything.
Oleander has been to the Everend Market exactly once. He was a young boy, brought along to help with his parents’ apothecary. It was, like most things in Oleander’s life, a disaster, and his parents never allowed him to go back with him. However, now, he’s an adult, and he knows what he wants. He wants to find love. He wants to get married. He wants his life to contain more than a small Emberleigh dwelling for one and a series of odd jobs in the city’s shops. Where better to find this love than the Everend Market?
Castien is a regular at the Everend Market. He runs a stall selling the same time pieces his father sold before him… and some pleasure devices of his own creation hidden behind a curtain. He is content traveling to market with his sibling, Acantha, and spending the week earning coin from the elves of the realm. While others may find his life small, he prefers it this way: quiet, contained, and full of learning.
But when Oleander stumbles his way into Castien’s stall, knocking over a display and causing a stir, they recognize one another. They met, once, as boys, and now, as men, they are reconnecting. Castien is meant to help Oleander find his spouse, but the more time he spends with him, the more time he realizes he doesn’t want to watch him leave with someone else.

He’s the league’s most untouchable referee. I’m the winger who can’t stop testing his boundaries. And we are playing a game where getting caught means losing everything.
JAX I’m the jokester of the Austin Lions, the playboy winger who hides his grieving soul behind quick jokes and easy smiles. I’m supposed to be focused on the game, not obsessing over Stefan de Klerk—the six-foot-five, ex-Green Beret head referee who rules the pitch with an iron fist. I tell myself I just want to break his deadpan composure. I tell myself it’s not attraction. But one heavy touch of his hand, and the closet I’ve locked my secrets in starts to shatter.
STEFAN I know the rules, and the golden rule of the MLR is that a referee does not touch a player. But Jaxson Gibson is a walking storm of cocky, defensive panic, pushing my boundaries just to see if I’ll bend. He thinks he’s just teasing the ref. He doesn’t realize that I’ve lived in his closet, and if I finally wrap both arms around him, I’m claiming him for good.
THE STAKES When a high-stakes security detail forces them into close, forbidden proximity off the pitch, the lines between player and referee blur into a consuming fire. But in a league that doesn’t forgive, claiming each other might cost them the game.
