About the book
If you love a bird, cage it, then let it fly. If it returns, then it knows where home is.
JULIAN
Like a breath of fresh air, a little bird flew into my life. Astoria was desperate for me to be her hero, but I’m no hero.
I tried to train her to be my pet and it broke both of us.
I let her run, gave her time and space, but she’ll never be free of me. I’ll always find her. She’s mine.
ASTORIA
He snuck into my home, always wearing a mask, did unimaginable depraved things to me, then whispered his own name into my ear. Julian.
He insisted I was his then destroyed me.
No matter where I run, nothing calms my craving for him. It’s disgusting but I'm addicted. I’ll never forgive him. I shouldn’t.

Romance · Gothic Romance
Our take
Jaime's expectations were high, since Fairydale is one of her all-time favorites, and Sinister delivered.

Best for readers who like dual-timeline gothic romance where you build theories and never get the whole picture at once.
Choose your retailer
About the book
From the USA Today bestselling author of Fairydale comes an all-new dark gothic romance standalone.
In Radcliffe, perfection is a mask. And Sinclair Arnoult wears his far too well.
Sin is Radcliffe’s golden boy. Star athlete, top student, and heir to a family name that carries weight in every corner of town. With his easy smiles and effortless charm, he’s untouchable.
Perfect.
Petra Valentine has always been an outsider. Trapped in a world of wealth and privilege that barely tolerates her, she’s spent her life fading into the background—until one reckless night at a party changes everything.
A fleeting, drunken mistake ties her to him.
When a series of ritualistic murders forces them together to unravel Radcliffe's twisted past, Petra discovers that Sin is connected to something far darker than a privileged legacy.
The man everyone worships is hiding dangerous truths—about his past, about the town, and about her.
He swears he’ll protect her. He swears he’d never hurt her.
But in Radcliffe, devotion and destruction look a lot like the same thing.

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.

About the book
All it took was one time.
One breakdown and I ended up behind the locked doors of Bluebone Ridge Sanitarium.
Something is wrong here.
It whispers through the cracked windows, coils beneath the floorboards, and breathes in the frozen Washington air that never truly warms, even in the summer.
Something hungry.
At night, the screaming starts. I’m locked in like prey, and the dark watches with hollow eyes. When someone—or something—finally sets me free, it isn’t a mercy. Because whatever haunted Bluebone Ridge followed me out. It’s ancient… starving. And now it knows my scent and the taste of my blood.
He doesn’t know whether to devour me or claim me.
But either way, I’m sure I won’t survive unchanged.
STARVE is a MF standalone, folklore-esque monster romance. It does not end in a cliffhanger, and contains quite a few aspects readers should be aware of. For a full list of potential triggers, please check the front of the book.

About the book
"A gripping romantic suspense about starting over, secret letters, and a twist ending that will absolutely blow your mind. Go in blind. You won't regret it." - Apropos Books
An instant USA Today bestseller!
It all began with just one line.
“I’ll wait forever if I have to.”
The BookTok sensation PEN PAL is a high-octane, tautly written dark romance with an unforgettable twist that will leave readers gasping. Now with a brand new bonus chapter, this breathtaking romance about undeniable love from superstar J.T. Geissinger is not to be missed!
The first letter arrived the day my husband was buried. It was postmarked from the state penitentiary, and contained a single sentence:
I’ll wait forever if I have to.
It was signed by Dante, a man I didn’t know.
Out of simple curiosity, I wrote back to ask him what exactly he was waiting for. His reply?
You.
I told the mystery man he had the wrong girl. He said he didn’t. I said we’d never met, but he said I was wrong.
We went back and forth, exchanging letters every week that grew increasingly more intimate. Then one day, the letters stopped. When I found out why, it was already too late.
Dante was at my doorstep.
And nothing on earth could have prepared me for what happened next.

About the book
My name is Tamryn.
I am a woman with a job, a home, and a mother who loves me. Not whole, but not quite incomplete, either. I have many faces, but they all want one thing; someone to protect me. Someone to love me. And then I find him...He's everything I thought I ever wanted. Handsome, suave, gentlemanly, my knight in shining armor with a hand stretched out to make everything perfect. And everything is perfect, that is, until my true savior comes along and shows me just how broken I am, and works to piece me back together... At the end of the day, all I really know my name is Tamryn, and I've always wanted to live by the sea. Preferably in a kingdom, but a small house will do...
My name is Caleb.
I am a survivor, a killer, a loner. Ruthless in my pursuit of justice, I fill my time moonlighting as a vigilante, cleansing the world of the filth that walks upon it. I handle what needs to be taken care of, then I retreat back to my thousand acres of woods until I'm needed again. Though the kills aren't ever enough to erase the touch of my abuser, the bloodlust I feel is sweet, and so far, it's been enough to soothe the aching loneliness that threatens on a daily to swallow me whole. I've accepted my heart is dead, that is, until I meet Tamryn. This fragile woman touches something inside of me, and forces me to realize that I need so much more than that what I've been settling for. She makes me crave more, and enables me to face my deepest, darkest secrets.
This book is a psychological thriller and pitch black romance. As well as various aspects of abuse, it also features heavy themes depicting Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID). It is recommended to read the trigger warnings before proceeding. 18+ only.

The Last Good Man
Romance · Contemporary Romance · Romantic Suspense
Our take
The Last Good Man turns a carefully managed life into a dangerous emotional collision between control and obsession. Melody wants a polished, reliable match, but Jax brings younger heat, volatility, and a refusal to fit the future she planned. This reverse age gap romance belongs on the list for its slow-burn tension, opposites-attract pull, and messy attraction that keeps pushing past every sensible boundary.

He is a stubborn green-eyed tattooed devil.
When Melody Hill runs into a stunning man at her therapist's door in Manhattan, she loses her breath for a second.

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.

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
