About the book
Sometimes your dream guy isn’t who you think he is.
Sem has been stalking me for months. He shows up everywhere I am and lurks in the background, his eyes always on me. I don’t understand his fascination with me, but he won’t leave me alone.
He’s definitely not my type. He’s too big, too reckless, and too feral.
But then one night he breaks into my apartment and dares me to do something crazy and I can’t say no.
Then I do it again. And again.
Now it seems we’re both addicted to this secret little game.
But when I begin to see the man beneath the brutish exterior, will falling in love prove to be the most reckless bet yet?

About the book
"A heartfelt MM romance with great chemistry, plenty of humor, and a relationship that felt genuinely earned. I loved watching Logan slowly break through Theo’s defenses." - Apropos Books
If there’s one thing I’ve learned this year at college, it’s that things aren’t always what they seem.
I’m Logan Lewis. I’m popular, charming, athletic, and all the girls love me. Yep, I’ve really got it made.
But when I find myself in danger of failing my chemistry class and losing my sports scholarship, I know the only person who can save me is the smartest science tutor on campus.
Theo Reign is brilliant. He’s also cold and antisocial, moody and mean. He looks at me like he hates me, but touches me like he wants me.
There’s something just beneath the surface that draws me in. His secret pain mirrors my own, and I suddenly find myself craving him. I can’t get enough of this mysterious and intriguing man, and though I know what we’re doing is weird and probably toxic, I just can’t seem to let him go.
I never thought I would want another man.
Until him.
Until Him is a steamy M/M college romance with heart, soul, lots of laughs, and of course, cuddling.

Best for readers who enjoy MM hockey romance with opposites-attract chemistry, grumpy characters, and tenderness beneath the conflict.
Between the Pipes
LGBTQIA+ · Romance · Bisexual Romance · Gay Romance · Sports Romance
Our take
Argumentative Nico Mackenzie seems completely incompatible with steady NHL goaltender Anthony Lawson, but their differences do not prevent an unexpected connection from developing, with a 4.3-star rating from more than 2,500 Amazon reviewers. Best for readers who enjoy MM hockey romance with opposites-attract chemistry, grumpy characters, and tenderness beneath the conflict.
Choose your retailer
About the book
Nico Mackenzie is angry and argumentative— in every way, he is the exact opposite of NHL goaltender Anthony Lawson. Thrown together for a summer of coaching college hockey at South Carolina University, Anthony makes every effort to be friendly; Nico, on the other hand, seems intent on being infuriating and keeping the other man at arm’s length.
When a causal relationship forms between the pair, they form an unsteady truce. The summer is finite, however, and when it comes to an end a decision has to be made: do they end things as they are or try for more?

One-Touch Pass

Our take
Nate meets Marcos at a party, and seventeen minutes turn into something neither of them can ignore, even as Marcos’s anxiety, stress, and self-doubt make him believe Nate deserves someone else, with a 4.2-star rating from more than 2,300 Amazon reviewers. Ideal for readers looking for college sports romance with instant connection, emotional vulnerability, patient pursuit, and hurt-comfort tension.

About the book
"One-Touch Pass is a funny, heartfelt gay college romance with great chemistry, a sunny hero worth swooning over, and an emotional arc that lands beautifully." - Apropos Books
Nate meets a stranger at a party, and in the span of seventeen minutes, his life changes.
Marcos meets a stranger at a party and wonders if the universe is laughing at him. His life has become a seemingly endless stream of bad days. Everything is a struggle, from his friendship with Max, to the simple act of changing in the locker room after a baseball game. Stress and anxiety sit so heavy on his shoulders, he can barely function under the weight of it. Starting a relationship is the very last thing he wants or feels he deserves. Particularly when Nate— beautiful, gregarious, and kind Nate— could have anybody he wanted.
If there is one thing Marcos knows, it’s this: Nate deserves someone far better than him.
But despite his best efforts to keep him away, Nate persists. He knows what he wants. He wants Marcos. He wants to coax him out of his shell, take him horseback riding, and treat him right. Seventeen minutes isn’t enough for Nate and Marcos.

On the Edge
LGBTQIA+ · Romance · Bisexual Romance · College Romance · Gay Romance · RomCom · Sports Romance
Our take
Henri Vasel is used to people pleasing, but being partnered with Atlas Kaiser turns classroom animosity into tentative friendship and something more, with a 4.2-star rating from more than 3,500 Amazon reviewers. Best for readers who like college hockey romance with forced proximity, enemies-to-friends tension, mistrust, and emotional pining.
Choose your retailer
About the book
"On the Edge is a warm, emotional gay college romance with a lovable sweetheart of a hero, believable chemistry, and a pricklier love interest who takes a little longer to win you over." - Apropos Books
Henri Vasel has perfected the art of people pleasing. He’s a good student, a fair hockey player, and he has a group of friends he’d do anything for. He’s happy. Or, rather, as happy as he can be when he has a class with the one person he can’t seem to please at South Carolina University.
Atlas Kaiser hates a lot of things, but right now he hates Henri Vasel the most. He doesn’t want to have to stare at his perfect face, or listen to his adorable German accent. He wants to be left alone. Unfortunately, they’re partnered together for the semester so he’ll have to grit his teeth and try to make it work.
Animosity morphs into a tentative friendship, which eventually leads to more. But while Atlas doesn’t trust their budding relationship, Henri wants more.

Shots on Net

Our take
Carter Morgan III lives for hockey, but his final stretch at South Carolina University gets complicated when Zeke Cassidy becomes his roommate, his friend, and the person Carter cannot stop wanting, with a 4.2-star rating from more than 5,500 Amazon reviewers. Best for readers who like college hockey romance, roommates-to-friends tension, pining, and slow-burn emotional stakes.
Choose your retailer
About the book
"Shots on Net is a sweet, low-angst gay college romance with great chemistry, believable miscommunication, and a grumpy hockey player worth falling for." - Apropos Books
Carter Morgan III hates everything about South Carolina University except for one thing: hockey. As the starting netminder for the team, he lives for those moments when he can step onto the ice and between the pipes. Unfortunately, his time at school and on the team is slowly coming to an end; although he’d love nothing more than to pursue a career in the NHL, he knows better than to get his hopes up.
Zeke Cassidy needs a place to live. When he answers an advertisement for a roommate, he’s not sure what he is expecting except that it isn’t Carter Morgan III. Carter is unfriendly, aloof, and they have nothing in common; even so, the pair hit it off immediately and become friends.
Carter knows Zeke isn’t interested in being anything beyond friends and roommates. Unfortunately, knowing this doesn’t stop him from hoping for more, no matter how much he tries to convince himself it’s impossible.

Good Pucking Luck begins with a public heartbreak, then turns one viral disaster into a no-strings arrangement that refuses to stay simple.
Good Pucking Luck
LGBTQIA+ · Romance · Bisexual Romance · Gay Romance · Sports Romance
Our take
Good Pucking Luck begins with a public heartbreak, then turns one viral disaster into a no-strings arrangement that refuses to stay simple. After a failed hockey-game proposal makes Hayes internet-famous for all the wrong reasons, he swears off relationships and agrees to keep things casual with pro player Rylan. This MM hockey romance blends second-chance vulnerability, physical chemistry, and the risk of trusting a heart labeled off-limits.
Choose your retailer
About the book
"Good Pucking Luck is a fun, low-angst MM hockey romance with great chemistry and likable characters. Hayes and Rylan play off each other really well, even if the relationship feels a little too easy at times." - Apropos Books
Hayes
Proposing to my first boyfriend at a hockey game wasn’t my smartest move. Not only does said boyfriend walk out on me, but the whole stupid thing goes viral, and it turns out the man I was dating has too many boyfriends to count. Internet fame has crowned me a member of the Jilted Exes’ Club, a name I’d do anything to escape.
One thing’s for sure: I’m not making the same mistake again. No more boyfriends, just easy hookups. And I’ll start with this gorgeous catch in Seattle. The only problem…he’s a god in bed, and I’m an inexperienced mess.
Rylan
After a night with Hayes, I play some of the best games of my career. It’s meant to be a one-and-done deal, but when I find out he also lives in LA and doesn’t want anything serious, I see an opportunity.
Hayes wants experience. I want my good-luck charm to help me win the cup.
The media would go wild over a pro hockey player dating a member of the Jilted Exes’ Club—a distraction neither of us needs. We want this to stay simple. Easy. No strings, no falling in love.
Except I’m pretty sure I’ve already fallen. After all Hayes has been through, how do I get him to entrust his heart to someone who’s only ever been labeled a player on and off the ice?

Playing Dirty turns a college rivalry into forbidden attraction when two baseball enemies become stepbrothers under the same roof.
Playing Dirty
LGBTQIA+ · Romance · Bisexual Romance · College Romance · Gay Romance · Sports Romance
Our take
Playing Dirty turns a college rivalry into forbidden attraction when two baseball enemies become stepbrothers under the same roof. Madden Hastings has always been his nemesis, but their blended family forces old hostility into close quarters, where resentment starts to look dangerously like chemistry. This MM sports romance leans into rivalry, loyalty, and the messy line between hating someone and wanting them.
Choose your retailer
About the book
"Playing Dirty was a fun, satisfying, and entertaining four-star read with great forbidden stepbrother tension, playful enemies-to-lovers banter, and chemistry that felt natural instead of forced. The rivalry felt more like flirting foreplay than overblown drama, and that worked so well." - Apropos Books
Our rivalry formed long before we became siblings.
Madden Hastings has been my nemesis since the day we met.
A divide was born from the age-old rivalry between our universities,
but this year, another layer developed. It became personal.
Because the captain of Blackmore’s baseball team?
He’s also my new step brother.
My disdain for the sudden blending of our families leads to more conflict,
and despite their efforts to force us together, coexisting proves impossible.
But something else starts burning beneath my bitterness and resentment;
an attraction as unexpected as it is potent.
And when the chemistry becomes too powerful to deny,
our already complicated relationship gets even messier.
Because a forbidden fling is one thing, but falling for the enemy?
It forces me into a choice I never wanted to make.
One between loyalty to my team, or the love of my life.
*Playing Dirty is the fourth in a five book standalone college sports romance series featuring two rivalry-fueled step brothers, a cut-throat game of capture the flag, and sexual tension that oozes off the page. Not suitable for anyone under 18 years of age.*

Unbreak Me places first love in the quiet pressure of forced proximity, where emotional recovery and self-discovery begin on an unexpected farm.
Unbreak Me
LGBTQIA+ · Romance · Bisexual Romance · Gay Romance
Our take
Unbreak Me places first love in the quiet pressure of forced proximity, where emotional recovery and self-discovery begin on an unexpected farm. Sent away by his family to heal, one man finds himself out of place, over his head, and increasingly drawn to Jonathan Rosseau, the farmer who understands wounded animals and wounded people. This is a steamy MM romance about desire, identity, and finding steadiness in another person.
Choose your retailer
About the book
"Unbreak Me is a slow-burn MM romance full of yearning, tenderness, and emotional vulnerability. The South African farm setting and forced proximity make Davy and Jonathan’s relationship feel intimate, safe, and transformative." - Apropos Books
I'm trapped in the middle of nowhere with the sexiest man I've ever seen...what could possibly go wrong?
My family sent me here thinking it would help lift my mood. When I think about it now, I realise I didn’t give nearly enough thought to what it would be like, or what I’d be doing on a farm. If anything, I had a vague, nebulous notion that it would be like some sort of retreat.
Boy, was I wrong.
Far from relaxing, I now find myself tending to actual sheep. If you knew me at all, you’d know how preposterous that is. When I’m not covered in dust from participating in manual labour, I spend my time confined in small spaces with the farmer, Jonathan Rosseau.
I was told he was good with animals and broken people. No-one mentioned the fact that he’s built like a tank and has the sort of facial features that makes my brain short circuit. No-one said a word about that.
With every day that passes, I find it harder and harder to tear my eyes off him.
Oh, God. I hope he can't feel the way I’m looking at him.
Unbreak Me is a steamy, swoon-y MM romance. It's a story about first love, finding your soulmate, and finding yourself in the process. To see if Unbreak Me is the book for you, use the 'Look inside' feature and scroll up to the copyright page

Protection and obsession blur when the person watching from across the street may not be the hero he believes himself to be.
The Guy Next Door
LGBTQIA+ · Romance · Bisexual Romance · Gay Romance · New Adult · Romantic Suspense
Our take
Protection and obsession blur when the person watching from across the street may not be the hero he believes himself to be. Zane moves next door to keep Leif safe from a threat no one else sees, even as his own motives grow complicated. When attraction and suspicion collide, trust becomes fragile and dangerous. The Guy Next Door is an MM romantic suspense novel about desire, perception, and the fear of being wrong.
Choose your retailer
About the book
ZANE
Is it wrong that I watch him?
Leif Anderson seems like a friendly, kind, normal, boy-next-door type.
Unlike me.
His stalker, a creep who moved into the place next to his parents' house to keep an eye on him.
I'm not the bad guy, though.
I'm the one who will protect him.
The cops don't believe he's in danger.
Maybe they're right, and this is all in my messed-up head.
I've been wrong before.
And no matter how I justify this to myself, my motives aren't entirely pure.
It's impossible to watch a guy this hot walking around in those adorable beanies without getting a little turned on.
When he discovers my secret surveillance, I'm sure it's over.
No way he believes my reasons for watching him, but he doesn't report me for my crime.
He's curious about me in a way I don't expect from a straight guy.
Or as I quickly learn, maybe not so straight.
Before I know it, we're on a journey, exploring this wild, exciting part of Leif while I try to keep him safe from harm.
But the closer we get to one another, the more I wonder: what if it was all in my head?
What if no one's coming for him?
What if the real threat to Leif is me, the guy next door?

Murder, inheritance, and a garden that sounds extremely interested in human blood.
Hazelthorn
Horror · LGBTQIA+ · Teen + Young Adult · Bisexual Romance · Body Horror · Gay Romance
Our take
Murder, inheritance, and a garden that sounds extremely interested in human blood. This gothic horror throws Evander back into the orbit of the boy who once tried to kill him just as he inherits a sprawling estate, a fortune, and what appears to be a very alive botanical nightmare. With family secrets rotting at the roots and danger creeping through the walls, this one delivers body horror, obsession, and deeply unsettling atmosphere in equal measure.
Choose your retailer
About the book
AN INSTANT #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER!
CG Drews, instant New York Times-bestselling author of Don't Let the Forest In, returns with another deeply unsettling and yet hauntingly beautiful tale of murder and botanical body horror, perfect for fans of Andrew Joseph White, Annihilation, and We Have Always Lived in the Castle.
Evander has lived like a ghost in the forgotten corners of the Hazelthorn estate ever since he was taken in by his reclusive billionaire guardian, Byron Lennox-Hall, when he was a child. For his safety, Evander has been given three ironclad rules to follow:
He can never leave the estate. He can never go into the gardens. And most importantly, he can never again be left alone with Byron's charming, underachieving grandson, Laurie.
That last rule has been in place ever since Laurie tried to kill Evander seven years ago, and yet somehow Evander is still obsessed with him.
When Byron suddenly dies, Evander inherits Hazelthorn’s immense gothic mansion and acres of sprawling grounds, along with the entirety of the Lennox-Hall family's vast wealth. But Evander's sure his guardian was murdered, and Laurie may be the only one who can help him find the killer before they come for Evander next.
Perhaps even more concerning is how the overgrown garden is refusing to stay behind its walls, slipping its vines and spores deeper into the house with each passing day. As the family’s dark secrets unravel alongside the growing horror of their terribly alive, bloodthirsty garden, Evander needs to find out what he’s really inheriting before the garden demands to be fed once more.

About the book
From the author of The Lesbiana's Guide to Catholic School, two best bros fake an engagement–but will their friendship survive?
It’s about time roommates Alejandro and Kenny get married. Or at least, that’s what all their close friends and family think when they announce their engagement. The kicker? The two are faking their whole relationship so Alejandro can get a green card. But if Han was going to marry anyone, it would be his ride or die since second grade.
Han has never been able to put down roots, and the only one who truly breaks through his walls is Kenny. Sweet, sensitive Kenny is newly single, and what better distraction from his soul-sucking relationship than proposing marriage to Han? Kenny can’t think of anything more fun than spending his life with his best friend, even if it’s just for a piece of paper. But as Kenny keeps up the charade, he’s soon struggling to resist their sizzling chemistry.
The line between fact and fiction begins to blur the closer they get to their wedding date. With all eyes on Han and Kenny—including a meddling ex and immigration officers—will these two bros make it down the altar for real?
