“A delicious tangle of romance, fealty, and dangerous politics.”—Tasha Suri
The Goblin Emperor meets "Magnificent Century" in Alexandra Rowland's A Taste of Gold and Iron, where a queer central romance unfolds in a fantasy world reminiscent of the Ottoman Empire.
Kadou, the shy prince of Arasht, finds himself at odds with one of the most powerful ambassadors at court—the body-father of the queen's new child—in an altercation which results in his humiliation.
To prove his loyalty to the queen, his sister, Kadou takes responsibility for the investigation of a break-in at one of their guilds, with the help of his newly appointed bodyguard, the coldly handsome Evemer, who seems to tolerate him at best. In Arasht, where princes can touch-taste precious metals with their fingers and myth runs side by side with history, counterfeiting is heresy, and the conspiracy they discover could cripple the kingdom’s financial standing and bring about its ruin.

About the book
Kyran Harbor is everything I’m not.
Rich. Popular. A superstar football player who’s awfully broody for someone who has it all. Basically, he’s a preppy jock who hates me. Oh, and he’s also my stepbrother.
That’s right. We’re stuck together, sharing a school, a house… A bathroom. Honestly, I wouldn’t care… If he wasn’t such an uptight control-freak who messes with me just because we’re different.
I had every intention of avoiding him when we got to college… Until abrupt misfortune forces us both into a compromising position.
Now the grouchy jerk I was hoping to evade might be the only person who can help me out of it.
Avi Vega is everything I despise.
A dreamer. A flake. An artist who smokes too much weed and thinks aliens exist. And by some sick cosmic joke, he’s now my stepbrother, following me on what should’ve been my escape plan.
It was already a disaster. Add a sudden financial disruption to the mix, and let’s just say my options are heavily limited.
If I want to stay an all-star quarterback on the way to the NFL, I’ll need to do something drastic. Unfortunately for me, and my desperate desire for control, the perpetually smiling stoner has a plan.
Maybe we can stop hating each other just enough to pull this off. As long as we remember we’re only doing it… for the fans.
**For The Fans is a full-length standalone MM forbidden romance with an HEA. This book contains sensitive subject matter that could make some readers uncomfortable. Please heed foreword warnings and proceed with caution.

Mortal Remains
LGBTQIA+ · Gay Romance
Our take
Templar Vale has spent centuries hunting demons, monsters, and rogue mages. Necromancer August is exactly the kind of man he shouldn’t trust, but a deadly investigation leaves them dependent on each other. As August’s magic takes its toll, Vale’s touch may be the only thing keeping him alive. Expect M/M enemies-to-lovers tension, forced proximity, hurt/comfort, and a hard-won happy ending.
Choose your retailer
About the book
Vale has hunted demons, monsters, and rogue mages for centuries as a Templar. So when rifts to the underworld tear through the city and the undead spill into the streets, he expects another power-hungry necromancer at the center of it all.
Instead, he finds August, a soft-hearted necromancer who uses his illegal magic to guide restless spirits to peace, even as it kills him from the inside. August is running on borrowed time, and he's spent weeks tracking the real necromancer who is raising armies of the dead.
Vale's touch shouldn't heal him. Templars and necromancers are natural enemies. But when Vale's hands meet August's skin, the black veins of corruption fade and the pain stops. For the first time in years, August can breathe.
Now they're partners in a hunt that neither of them can survive alone. But the closer they get to the truth, the more August needs his magic…and the more he needs Vale's touch to survive.
Mortal Remains is a m/m enemies-to-lovers urban fantasy romance between a Templar and a necromancer. It features a touch starved necromancer, a morally grey Templar, forced proximity, hurt/comfort, and a happy ending.
Mortal Remains is book one of the Haven Chronicles series and does not need to be read in order.

About the book
He put me behind bars. Now I'm on my knees before him.

It was the biggest mistake of my life.
Now my brother owes the Bratva a blood debt he can't pay. And the man I put in a cage? He's the one holding my leash.
Alexei doesn't just want my obedience. He wants me to break. He wants me to beg. He wants me to forget I ever wore a badge.
The worst part? Every time those cold gray eyes pin me in place, I forget too.
But there are secrets buried between us — secrets that could destroy his empire or set us both free. And in this world, love isn't just forbidden.
It's a death sentence.

About the book
One year. His body. His blood. His surrender.
Investigative journalist Alex Carter has nothing left to lose—until he breaks into the wrong mansion and comes face to face with a centuries-old vampire with blood on his hands and murder in his eyes.
Lucien Beaumont should kill him. Instead, he makes an offer: one year as his companion—living in his penthouse, warming his bed, providing blood on demand—and the killing stops.
Alex accepts. He tells himself it's to save lives. That he's playing the hero.
He's lying.
Because with every feeding, every dark promise whispered against his skin, every moment of excruciating pleasure, Alex is falling for his beautiful captor. And Lucien—lonely, lethal, desperate for connection after centuries of isolation—is falling just as hard.
But their year is running out. And Lucien is offering something far more permanent than captivity.
He's offering forever.
A dark M/M vampire romance featuring captivity, dubious consent that becomes enthusiastic consent, blood play, possessive obsession, and a happily ever after that transcends mortality. For readers who like their vampires dangerous and their love stories intense.

About the book
Eighteen-year-old Stetson Delancey never thought breaking up with his boyfriend would turn him invisible.
In Penango County, Pennsylvania, high school couples carve their names into the legendary Ardor Tree, a rite of passage said to grant love that lasts. Stetson and his boyfriend were no exception. But a bitter breakup just before college splinters their future, and in a moment of anger, Stetson does the unthinkable: he hacks their names from the tree.
That's when everything in his rural hometown goes from boring to bizarre. Shadows flicker where they shouldn't. Strangers pass by like he's not even there. And some people stop seeing him altogether.
With just two months left in Penango and his college dream slipping away, Stetson races to uncover the tree's secrets before he vanishes for good. But when he meets a boy only he can see-a boy who may have secrets of his own-Stetson begins to wonder if breaking free from his hometown means letting go of everything or learning to hold on to what matters.
Within These County Lines is a queer coming-of-age novel about the unraveling of first love, hometown magic, and how sometimes we can't uncover the truth about others without confronting the truth about ourselves.

Grave Situation

Our take
Grave Situation follows Talon Silverbright, a magic teacher chosen by a sentient rock to save the world from zombies, with help from a healer, his sister, a disdainful dragon, and a rude matchmaking horse, with a 4.8-star rating from more than 2,200 Amazon reviewers. Best for readers who like funny fantasy with reluctant heroes, chaotic quests, magical oddballs, and paranormal absurdity.
Choose your retailer
About the book
He’s not the hero they deserve, but he’s the hero they’ve got.
No, seriously. Talon wants to know what he did to deserve this. What would make a sentient rock decide that he of all people should be the one to save the world from zombies? That’s right. Zombies. Because apparently a higher power decided that teaching magic to teenagers wasn’t enough of a challenge.
With a ridiculously attractive healer (who may or may not hate him), his sister (who he miiiight have a forbidden telepathic link with), a sentient god-like rock (that can only communicate via yes/no vibes), a disdainful dragon, and a rude matchmaking horse by his side, he just might be able to save the world.
Or die trying.
Meet Talon Silverbright. He'll save the world, but only because a rock said he has to.

Perfectly Imperfect Pixie
LGBTQIA+ · Romantasy · Gay Romance
Our take
Phil is a home-and-hearth pixie who wants a family to bond to, and Sedrick is a werewolf suddenly raising two traumatized children while fighting a dangerous custody battle, with a 4.6-star rating from more than 3,800 Amazon reviewers. Good for readers who want cozy paranormal MM romance with found family, werewolf-pixie romance, fairy lawyers, garden gnomes, and a guaranteed HEA.
Choose your retailer
About the book
Size matters. Pixies are supposed to be petite, beautifully lithe creatures with gossamer wings. Sporting luscious, ombre pink hair and fluttering pink wings, Phil meets two out of three of those criteria. At over six feet tall, no one would dare call Phil petite. As a home-and-hearth pixie, Phil yearns to find a home and family he can bond to. When no one’s willing to hire a pixie of his stature, Phil is forced to find work elsewhere. Turns out, pixies make terrible bouncers.
The sudden death of Sedrick’s brother and sister-in-law left Sedrick Voss a pack of one—plus two young, traumatized were children. Sedrick needs help. He needs a home-and-hearth pixie. But pixies are small, delicate creatures nowhere near sturdy enough to stand up to a couple of growing werewolves. Phil seems like the perfect answer—a pixie that might be able to physically withstand small werewolf teeth and claws.
Phil is overjoyed, finally able to do a job that speaks to his heart and soul. But peace is a hard-won commodity. Sedrick is in the middle of a nasty custody battle with his niece and nephew’s maternal grandfather—one of the most arrogantly deceitful werewolf alphas to ever lead a pack. If their grandfather gets custody, Sedrick’s niece and nephew are in for a lifetime of manipulation.
Between the custody battle, noxiously invasive garden gnomes, and fairy lawyers, Phil and Sedrick struggle to keep their home and family safe. Werewolves and pixies don’t mate. Phil and Sedrick are about to challenge that misconception.
Perfectly Imperfect Pixie is a m/m standalone title with a HEA, a rough but kind werewolf, fairy lawyers, vampire bar owners, dwarf miners, questionably intelligent humans, pesky garden gnomes, and charming pixies.

About the book
This spicy, forced proximity romance between a vanilla businessman and a lumberjack couple is perfect for readers of BK Borison.
After rage-quitting his soul-sucking job, Nathan Clark wants nothing more than a relaxing trip to the mountain town of Starlight Haven. But fate has other plans, and a snowstorm leaves him stranded and fighting for his life. Only, he’s not alone …
When he wakes in a nearby cabin, Nathan discovers he’s been rescued by two married, tattooed loggers who look like they’ve stepped straight out of a flannel fever dream. Fox is a towering man made of rough edges while Morgan is all soft curves with a bite of sass. And they’re eyeing him like he’s the perfect tree to climb.
With just one step into the unknown, Nathan’s about to learn that some people are meant to be straitlaced … and others are meant to be chased down and made to beg for more.

Choose your retailer
About the book
"Oh my God, Briar! Where did you get that prosthetic leg?"
Things as a parent Lane thought he'd never say for four hundred, Alex.
But that’s par for the course in Lane Ashbury’s life considering everything is on the verge of falling apart. He not only has a toddler building her skills as a professional klepto, but he’s also on the verge of divorce, and hoping desperately to save his business before it goes under.
Luckily, the owner of the stolen leg might just be an angel in disguise when he offers to be Lane’s new nanny instead of pressing charges.
The whole thing would be perfect if Bowen Galanos didn’t make Lane feel things. If he didn’t make Lane question everything he thought he knew about himself every time Bowen's touch lingered just a little too long.
And when Bowen offers some no-strings benefits to their friendship to see if maybe Lane’s not as straight as he thought, Lane finds it impossible to say no. I mean, it’s not like he’s going to realize he’s madly in love with his nanny, right?
That would be absurd.
That would be ridiculous.
And knowing him, that would be exactly his luck.
Knowing You is the first book in a light-hearted, single-dads romance series. It features a toddler with sticky fingers, a tired dad who just wants to be loved, a former stunt actor who craves to be needed, Henry Cavill man crushes, a hint of sweet, a twist of angst, a steamy bisexual awakening, and the happiest of happily ever afters.
