About the book
Trevor Estes has lost his anchor. His son Riley was everything—his pride, his heartbeat, his purpose. When Riley is killed in combat, Trevor is left with nothing but a gaping silence and grief he doesn’t know how to carry.
Then Jesse Byrne shows up. Riley’s platoon mate. His friend. His final link to a life that once made sense.
Jesse brings memories, understanding, and a kind of comfort Trevor didn’t expect. What begins as shared sorrow grows into something deeper, something undeniable. But opening his heart to Jesse means letting go of the last tie to his son.
In this deeply emotional gay romance, Melanie Hansen explores love born from loss, and the courage it takes to move forward without forgetting where you came from.

Eli Francis is stuck. Stuck in an assistant position at the online magazine Vent when he should be a writer. Stuck with a boss who dangles a promotion but would rather he just fetch the coffee. Stuck working alongside the ex who has had no trouble moving up at work…or moving on.
When Eli’s roommates push him to date so he can get over his ex once and for all, they set him up with Peter Park. Tall, handsome, and unbelievably awkward. The date is a complete disaster, and further proof to Eli that love isn’t for him. But when his boss overhears Eli recounting the catastrophic night, he suggests teaching Peter to be a better boyfriend through a series of simulated dates so he can write an article about it.
But Eli has other ideas…Eli plays along, pretending to write the article, while secretly interviewing Peter about growing up queer in the South and coming-of-age dating wise in adulthood. Eli hopes writing this sort of piece will finally get him the promotion he deserves. And in exchange, he will teach Peter how to be a better boyfriend.
But the more time Eli spends with Peter, the closer they become, and the lines between what’s real and what’s fake begin to blur. Before long Eli is forced to face his greatest fears to become the writer he wants to be and secure the love he’s always needed.

Our take
Released from prison with nowhere else to go, Tank rides toward the man who kept him alive through letters and hope. CJ never expected him to show up, but reckless promises demand answers. Desire, fear, and vulnerability collide in this emotional biker romance, rated 4.4 stars on Amazon and 4.0 stars on Goodreads.
Choose your retailer
About the book
Ride hard. Love harder. Live recklessly.
Tank is done with his old life. All it's brought him is trouble and misery in the form of a four-year prison term. Though he did find one good thing while behind bars: Charles "CJ" Crane, pen pal extraordinaire.
After months of exchanging increasingly personal letters, Tank knows exactly where he's headed as soon as the prison gates open. CJ doesn't know he's coming, and he's not sure what he'll say when he gets there, but he knows one thing for certain.
The promises he and his boy made to each other in their letters may have been reckless, but he's willing to risk everything he’s got on finding out if what they have could be real.
Reckless is the first book in the Leather & Chrome series and features a motorcycle club's annual charity ride, a possessive biker whose new favorite color is pink, a twenty-four-year-old overly eager to experience his first time, and an excessive appreciation for perfectly lined tattoos.

About the book
"Brilliance on every single page."—CHRISTINA LAUREN, New York Times and USA Today bestselling author, for Boyfriend Material
What if one impulsive lie gave you the second chance you never knew you needed?
From USA Today bestseller Alexis Hall, 10 Things That Never Happened is a laugh-out-loud, slow-burn queer rom-com brimming with British wit, workplace tension, and unexpected heart.
Sam Becker's job isn't glamorous, but the quirky team he manages feels like home. Even his boss, the cold and calculating Jonathan Forest, has become a part of his strange little routine. Then comes a clumsy accident, a panicked lie about amnesia, and one very guilty billionaire whose icy exterior starts to thaw.
Jonathan shows up with soup, softness, and something dangerously close to care. As Sam fakes forgetfulness to keep the peace, their chemistry becomes impossible to ignore. But a relationship built on a lie can only last so long and Sam's running out of time to tell the truth.
A delightfully fun spinoff to the bestselling London Calling series, this witty, emotionally layered romance delivers on the tension of enemies-to-lovers, the comfort of found family, and the quiet thrill of discovering someone might actually see you.

About the book
A USA Today and bestseller, published in ten languages.
They don’t play for the same team. Or do they?
Jamie Canning has never been able to figure out how he lost his closest friend. Four years ago, his tattooed, wise-cracking, rule-breaking roommate cut him off without an explanation. So what if things got a little weird on the last night of hockey camp the summer they were eighteen? It was just a little drunken foolishness. Nobody died.
Ryan Wesley’s biggest regret is coaxing his very straight friend into a bet that pushed the boundaries of their relationship. Now, with their college teams set to face off at the national championship, he’ll finally get a chance to apologize.
But all it takes is one look at his longtime crush, and the ache is stronger than ever. Jamie has waited a long time for answers, but walks away with only more questions— can one night of sex ruin a friendship? If not, how about six more weeks of it?
When Wesley turns up to coach alongside Jamie for one more hot summer at camp, Jamie has a few things to discover about his old friend...and a big one to learn about himself.
Warning: contains sexual situations, hotties on hockey skates, skinnydipping, shenanigans in an SUV and proof that coming out to your family on social media is a dicey proposition.

About the book
Phineas Smith has been cursed with a power no one could control. Roark Lyne is his worst enemy and his only hope. First in the Darkest Court series.
The only human student at Mather's School of Magick, Phineas Smith has a target on his back. Born with the rare ability to tap into unlimited magick, he finds both Faerie Courts want his allegiance—and will do anything to get it.
They don't realize he can't levitate a feather, much less defend the Faerie Realm as it slips into civil war.
Unseelie Prince Roark Lyne—Phineas's roommate and self-proclaimed arch nemesis—is beautiful and brave and a pain in the ass. Phineas can't begin to sort through their six years of sexual tension masquerading as mutual dislike. But Roark is also the only one able to help Finn tame his magick.
Trusting Roark's mysterious motives may be foolish; not accepting his temporary protection would be deadly.
Caught in the middle of the impending war, Phineas and Roark forge a dangerous alliance. And as the walls between them crumble, Phineas realizes that Roark isn't the monster he'd imagined. But their growing intimacy threatens to expose a secret that could either turn the tide of the war . . . or destroy them both.

"Stunningly brilliant." —Mirrigold

I’m not in love with my best friend. That’s the lie I keep telling myself.
Copeland Justice used to be everything. My closest friend. My safe place. Then he became the enemy who ruined me with a look and broke me with a word. Now every glance cuts, every interaction burns, and I can't tell where the hate ends and the craving begins.
This is not a love story wrapped in flowers and sunshine. It's messy. It's painful. It's the kind of love you try to bury but can’t stop needing.
From USA Today bestselling author K Webster comes a sizzling, angst-drenched MM romance about blurred lines, twisted loyalties, and the fine line between hating someone and wanting them more than anything.

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?

About the book
Brandon had gone his whole life without experiencing the kind of connection that he’d always wanted. So when his best friend offers to set him up on a blind date, he decides it can’t hurt to try. He never expected Callum. He’s bigger, taller, and more dominant, and exactly what Brandon had always hoped for. He's also a demon.
Callum didn’t usually date humans. It was a rule he and his friends had followed since the integration. But one night with Brandon wasn’t enough for him. And there’s more to their connection than what happens in bed. Something he’d only ever heard about, and never dreamed would be his.
But when the outside world starts poking at their budding relationship, they both need to decide if the feelings stirring in their chest are worth the fight. Or if this was always meant to be one night.

About the book
Two years ago, JJ Ferguson was shot in the head—and Cass Ashby, his secret boyfriend and his brother’s best friend, was convicted of the crime. Now, Cass is out. And he's not looking for justice—he's looking for revenge.
Cass has spent every waking moment behind bars replaying the betrayal. JJ never came forward. Never told the truth. Never stood up for the man he claimed to love. Now, Cass wants him to pay.
But JJ has scars of his own. Physical. Emotional. Hidden truths that never made it to court. And when Cass comes back into his life, rage is the only thing holding them apart—and desire is the only thing pulling them together.
Can they survive the truth? Or will the past destroy them both?

About the book
Alexander King:
Handsome, popular and a D1 soccer star, Alexander King appears to have it all. He’s just hiding one (or two, or three) little secrets, like the fact that he’s still in love with his older brother’s best friend Theo, he doesn’t actually want to play soccer anymore, and that at twenty-one, he’s still a virgin. When unexpected circumstances bring him and Theo together, it’s a recipe for heartache, but Alec is sure that he can handle it. He just needs to make sure the jenga tower of secrets he’s been keeping doesn’t topple over and ruin everything.
Theodore James:
At twenty-nine, Theodore James has the kind of stable life his childhood self could only dream of. Sure, the only person he lets into his life is Jason, the best friend he’s had since he was seven, and his sole form of companionship is one-night stands, but he’s content. Mostly. When Jason requests his help, Theo doesn't hesitate, even when that favor involves Jason’s feisty, smoking hot little brother who’s all grown up now. Theo can definitely handle Alexander King. Maybe.
Cross the Line is a character-driven, slow burn, standalone MM romance. It begins the Kings of Heart series, each featuring one of the four King brothers on their sometimes messy, sometimes tender paths to happy ever after. Cross the Line features a nerdy big boy with anxiety, the sassy, sporty younger brother of his lifelong best friend, endless amounts of secret pining, an 8 year age gap, a lot of miscommunication and one plan for a perfect first time. Guaranteed HEA.

About the book
Twenty years ago, monsters rose on earth and began a new age of civilization.
One where humans live in military-controlled, cramped and dirty cities along the coasts, and the majority of the United States is known as the Wastes. A lawless, desolate and dangerous place, teeming with monsters that have claimed the land for their own.
Including Wyn the Soul Eater.
He appears every three years, making his way across the country and slaughtering humans randomly, sucking them dry until they’re nothing but husks.
I’ve only been in the military for six months, but now I’m part of a unit tasked with trying to stop and capture him. And when I’m the only soldier out of hundreds that the Soul Eater leaves alive, I realise that… something about me has intrigued him.
But what is it? What could a twenty-three year old guy from the south, with no one and nothing in the world, have possibly done to capture the attention of a death monster with horns, blackened fingertips and a face hidden in the dark depths of his hood?
Soul Eater is the debut novel of Lily Mayne. It is the first in a planned post-apocalyptic fantasy series featuring monsters and human men falling in love. Warning: This m/m love story contains explicit content and is not suitable for young readers. There are also graphic depictions of torture and violence.
