As he’s drawn deeper into Wonderland’s web of secrets, corruption, and depravity, Lysander discovers the most terrifying truth of all.

BLURB:
Tom and Dustin have had the same plan since they were fifteen: finish school, become architects, and someday open a firm together designing homes people can actually afford.
There’s just one problem.
Dustin can afford tuition at Merritt University. He can’t afford a place to live.
Then Tom discovers Whitaker Court—cheap, university-owned housing with one very inconvenient requirement.
It’s for married students only.
Getting married is obviously a terrible idea.
So naturally, they do it.
A courthouse ceremony, a shared last name, and a cramped one-bedroom apartment should be enough to convince everyone they’re newlyweds. They’ve been best friends most of their lives. Pretending to be in love should be easy.
Except their new marriage comes with boundaries neither of them expected. Tom has spent years happily dating women, but one careless hookup could expose their arrangement and cost Dustin his apartment, his education, and the future they’ve spent years planning.
Then forced proximity starts feeling a little too intimate.
Sharing a bed becomes something they both look forward to. Kisses meant for appearances begin happening when no one is watching. And the line between helping your best friend and wanting him becomes impossible to find.
For Dustin, that might be the most frightening part.
He’s spent his life believing love lasts only until it becomes inconvenient. Tom has always been the person who stayed—but staying out of loyalty isn’t the same as choosing someone forever.
Their marriage began as a loophole.
Now they have to decide whether the life they’re building together was real all along.

BLURB:
Theo
I’m just me—plain, boring Theo. Everyone’s friend but no one’s boyfriend. Dating apps don’t work for me, and the one time I try to change my image is a total disaster.
All I want is someone to come home to and hold hands with. A boyfriend who’ll love me. It doesn’t help that I have this silly crush on Jaxon Polaris, our sexy, gorgeous, district attorney. He’s a flirt who’s never without a date. No matter how nice he is to me, I know the truth. A man like Jaxon would never be interested in someone like me.
Jaxon

When the leader of the party approaches me, suggesting I run for a judgeship, I’m thrilled…until he tells me my image as a party boy might hurt me with small-town voters.

Problem is, I don’t know any nice guys…except shy, quiet Theo Sweeny.
Reluctantly, Theo agrees to my boyfriend proposal, and the man proceeds to challenge me at every turn. Shy? He’s stubborn and feisty. But his kisses are so sweet, and I can’t stop thinking about him. Being with Theo means I’ll have to tell him my truth—a secret that could prevent me from achieving my dreams. But the more I get to know Theo, the more I come to realize: Win or lose the election, what I’m searching for might be right here by my side.
TITLE: Puck You Both
AUTHOR: MM Phoenix
SERIES: Melting Ice #4
PUBLISHER: Self Published
RELEASE DATE: 9/2/2026
BLURB:
If you can’t beat him, keep him. And his boyfriend.
WALL
There are many things a Chicago Wolves goaltender should be doing, and despising Milwaukee’s goalie tops the list. Not to brag, but I’ve been nailing it for eight years straight. It’s public record. There’s merchandise to prove it.
What a goaltender should *never* do is walk in on said goalie, hand deep in his winger’s pants, and…stay.
So anyway, guess what just happened.
In my defense, observation is my craft and this was film study. Kind of.
The incognito-mode googling afterward was also film study. And then that time on a video call was…film study with live narration?
I’ve been straight for twenty-eight years. I’d like to speak to a manager.
PATRICK
They say you never know what you’ve got until it’s gone. Turns out I had a blissfully uncomplicated life. Right up until Wall walked in and shattered it.
I’m not out, and it has never been a problem before. But now a man who hates me is knocking on my closet, and the possibility of the entire world finding out what I’m wearing is getting too real.
Even my code-red protocol—*deny*—won’t fly this time. Denial is hard to pull off when he catches you pressed against another man and, instead of stopping, you stare back and keep going.
So I do the next best thing—get Theo on board, lure Wall into my closet, and close the door behind.
It’s a chaotic process. An unmuted mic here, an “accidental” invitation there. One very strategically positioned chair.
Some men bury the hatchet. I’d rather keep mine.
Both of them.
THEO
Okay, recap for the rafters: my no-labels goalie arrangement has somehow acquired a no-labels plus-one, who’s in a no-labels feud wit my original arrangement.
Nobody is labeling anything, which some might call an unhealthy environment.
Not me, though. Turns out, it’s my natural habitat.
See, I’ve spent my whole life being too much, too loud. Too Theo.
But one of these idiots likes running the show, the other one can’t stop watching it, and I am, and I cannot stress this enough, the show.
They can hate each other all they want. None of my business, really.
Now, if you’ll excuse me. There’s a hockey sandwich about to happen and I’m the meat.

BLURB:
When you think you’ve finally found your place in the world, something unexpected has a way of stitching itself into the seams.
Kinder Graham is on the brink of everything he’s ever wanted. A self-taught designer, his sharp eye, daring silhouettes, and relentless ambition have earned him a coveted invitation to showcase his work on an exclusive fashion reality show in Paris. It’s the opportunity of a lifetime—the kind that launches careers and rewrites futures. Armed with talent, nerves, and a suitcase full of dreams, Kinder arrives in France determined to prove he belongs among legends. That is, if he can survive the tutelage of Claude Barrons…
A household name in haute couture, Claude is as enigmatic as he is brilliant—an icon whose designs have shaped decades of fashion and whose reputation is as meticulously curated as his collections. Draped in quiet confidence and effortless elegance, he commands every room he enters…always with a tiny, impeccably groomed dog nestled in a sling at his hip, peering out at the world like it owns it. To Kinder, Claude is everything he both admires and fears: experienced, untouchable, and wholly out of reach.
As erratic production shoots stretch into late nights and the pressure of the show mounts, Kinder begins to see beyond the legend. Beneath Claude’s cool exterior lies a man who understands creation, sacrifice, and the lonely cost of brilliance. Between whispered critiques, shared sketches, and quiet moments stolen under dancing boughs, admiration turns into something far more dangerous—and far more irresistible.

Losing my entire family in one night because of rogue vampires, meant I had nothing left to lose. My entire life’s purpose was now to avenge the family I’d lost when I was nothing but a child. I was prepared for a life without love, friendship, and family. Mostly because I wouldn’t survive losing it again. So, when the alpha of the town my new assignment was in, declares that I’m his fated mate but that he doesn’t want me, I don’t take it to heart, even if his rejection stung. Thankfully, I had enough to deal with and I soon found myself busy killing off the rogue vampires who kept showing up at night and storming towards the town’s library. The alpha was hiding something in there they desperately wanted, but he refused to tell me, the ass that he was. Suddenly, the situation turns dire and my boss declares that we need outside help, in the form of vampires. Did I mention I fucking hate vampires? They might not be rogue ones, but still. When the vampire Salizar turns up and is all composed and competent, I slowly begin to lower my walls.
I shouldn’t have.
Never trust a vampire. You’ll only end up bitten and claimed without your consent. Oh, and the alpha did not like that I, his rejected lump of meat, was claimed by someone else. I soon found myself claimed by both men, again without my consent.

Haunting #362: Grimthorne Manor, nr Devizes, Wiltshire
History: Built 1347. 21 confirmed deaths, 37 suspected. Current owners bought it sight unseen—big mistake.
Wanted: Immediate ghost removal. Renovation crew refuses to work after “flying hammer incident.”
The ExorSquad Team: Star employee Brad Harrington (works alone, prefers it that way) & new recruit Charlie Hayes (doesn’t believe in ghosts—yet).
Additional notes: Unusual EMF spikes detected near the music room. Recon team reported “aggressive 90s alternative rock” playing at 3am. Black smudges appearing on bathroom mirrors—appears to be eyeliner.
P.S: Avoid the basement at all costs.
Charlie
I’m broke, I’m desperate, and I’ve just signed up with ExorSquad—a ghost-busting company that’s definitely conning vulnerable people out of their life savings. But hey, minimum wage is minimum wage, even when it means spending multiple nights in a crumbling Georgian manor with my new colleague Brad, a complete tosser.
The job’s simple: pretend to clear out the ghosts, collect our fee, go home. Easy, right? Except the locals keep crossing themselves when I mention Grimthorne Manor, the renovation crew literally ran away screaming, and I just got locked in the attic with dust motes that stroked my cheek.
Still, ghosts aren’t real. They can’t be. Can they?!
Bat
Being dead has its learning curve, but I’ve gotten quite good at it, thank you very much. Grimthorne Manor is mine—well, mine and the other forty-odd spirits who call this place home—and we’ve perfected the art of scaring away anyone stupid enough to disturb our peace.
But then Charlie walks through my door with his fluffy golden hair, coaxing melodies from my forgotten guitar that I thought were lost forever, and suddenly I don’t want to terrify him. I want to protect him from the thing lurking in our basement. I want to touch those gentle hands. I want to hear him play again.
Problem is, I’m dead. He’s alive.
However…
His insufferable partner Brad is looking very… possessable.

Blake:
I was born into hockey royalty, groomed to carry the Wilson legacy without a single crack in the armor.

He stepped onto my rink, and I made it my mission to teach him the pecking order: break him, run him out, and protect my throne. But the harder I pushed, the more his cold defiance consumed me. What started as ruthless sabotage quickly spiraled into a dangerous, suffocating obsession I can no longer control.
Thomas:
Blake Wilson, the privileged, untouchable, and ruthless captain of our team, thought he could intimidate me off the game my people created. He told me to run back to the reserve or spend every day as his personal target practice. He didn’t realize he wasn’t the first bully to weaponize my heritage, and he sure as hell won’t be the last. I was raised knowing how to survive môniyâw like him. I took every brutal check, absorbed his malice, and threw it right back. But behind closed doors, our war twisted into something electric, dark, and lethal. He wants to own me—and God help me, I might just let him destroy us both.

Basher
32, rough, ex-con, member of the Death Cruisers Motorcycle Club
Okay, I’ll be the first to admit I’ve got a bit of a temper. It’s not that I’m an angry guy—I just can’t stand bullies or loudmouths who think they’re tougher than everyone else. You want tough? I’ll show you tough.
After getting out of prison, my boss shipped me off to New Mexico to help out the Shadow Vipers crew. That’s where I met him. A smiling ball of sunshine with incredible blue eyes and a vulnerable side that awakened every protective instinct I possess.
Some people might call my protectiveness a little excessive. Others might call it borderline stalking. But is it really stalking if the person you’re protecting doesn’t even know you’re there?
Unfortunately, old enemies never forget. And obsession can be far deadlier than hate.

From the moment Basher walked into my life, my heart and hormones decided I was doomed. Let’s be honest, I have a weakness for bad boys with tattoos and poor life choices.

He may be an ex-con and a biker, but I know there’s more to him than meets the eye.
Now, if only I could convince the stubborn giant that he deserves to be loved.

BLURB:
A grumpy cryptid falls for his sunshine human.
I didn’t come to Wisconsin looking for a legend. I came to get out. Out of staged smiles. Out of corporate campaigns. Out of photographing happiness that felt manufactured.
I was supposed to spend two months in the woods. No clients, no deadlines, just open sky, real silence, and nothing that needed editing.
What I find instead… is Calder.
Seven feet of muscle and shadow and ancient forest stillness.
He doesn’t trust humans, but I don’t scare easily. And the more time I spend with him, the harder it is to ignore the way he looks at me. The way his body reacts when I get too close. The way mine answers.
But the forest isn’t as empty as it looks. There’s something else out there. Calder won’t name it—only follows its movement, and keeps himself between me and whatever’s slinking through the trees.
And I’m starting to understand that whatever he’s been guarding me from isn’t the only danger in these woods.
I should leave… but I don’t. Because knowing that doesn’t change anything.
I still want him.
And the worst part?
He wants me too.

Lyric and I couldn’t be more different. I’m an introvert, he’s always the life of the party. I’m lost in my own head, he’s content to live in the moment without overthinking anything. He hasn’t thought about me, but I never stopped thinking about him.
Finding him here feels like fate. It feels like a second chance, I’m just not sure he wants one.
Good thing Palm Island is starting to grow on me with all of its long, hot nights and quirky locals because I don’t think I can leave without seeing if there could be anything left between us, and it’s starting to look like I might be stuck here for a while…
