Jealousy is easy to dismiss until it starts looking too much like the truth.
Caught Stealing
LGBTQIA+ · Romance · Travis' Picks · College Romance · Gay Romance · New Adult · Sports Romance
Our take
Jealousy is easy to dismiss until it starts looking too much like the truth. In Caught Stealing, a fiercely protective friend tries to keep a notorious campus playboy away, only to get pulled into a charged game of pranks, rivalry, and attraction that keeps turning personal. This new adult sports romance builds on buried feelings, loyalty, and slow-burning tension with a playful but emotionally risky edge.

About the book
It's not stealing if he's meant to be mine.
Let me tell you how Holden Sykes operates.
As the campus playboy and one-and-done king, he doesn’t do strings.
Or repeats.
Or names, for that matter.
So when he tries making my best friend the next notch on his bedpost, I react poorly.
Some would call it jealousy or an unrequited crush, but friends protect each other from making mistakes.
The same ones I’ve already made.
Which is why driving Holden away seems like my only option.
Too bad he’s not giving up without a fight.
Each prank leads to another until he turns this into a game far more precarious than intended.
One filled with stolen moments and heated glances, drawing me into his orbit.
But the undeniable attraction simmering between us leaves me caught in the crosshairs of an impossible decision.
Loyalty...or love.
*Caught Stealing is the second in a five book standalone college sports romance series featuring a road-tripping rubber ducky, two guys fighting for the upper hand, and enough cock-blocking shenanigans to make your cheeks flush. Not suitable for anyone under 18 years of age*

Hatred gets complicated when winning starts to depend on the person you can’t stand.

About the book
All's fair in hate and hockey.
My path to success never included an enemy as a teammate, especially one as infuriating as Quinton de Haas.
Clawing under my skin is his favorite pastime, only feeding the animosity between us as the years pass.
We’re as completely opposite as two people can be; the golden boy and the black sheep.
Constantly at odds or at each other’s throats.
The only thing we can agree on is hockey is our true love, and we’ll do whatever it takes to come out on top.
I never imagined that drive would lead me to do the unthinkable: falling into bed with my not-so-straight rival.
But athletes are a superstitious bunch, and when our hook-ups lead to victories, we tell ourselves we can’t stop.
Besides, it’s all for the sake of the team, right?
*Iced Out is the first in a five book standalone college sports romance series featuring two misunderstood rival teammates, pages of snarky banter, and more secret spicy times than any book should be filled with. Not suitable for anyone under 18 years of age.*

Our take
Never Will I Ever turns a bitter grudge into dangerous attraction when two former teammates are forced into close quarters at summer camp.

This new adult MM college romance fits readers looking for earned tension, forced proximity, emotional resistance, and chemistry that grows from real conflict.
Choose your retailer
About the book
"Never Will I Ever surprised me with a hot, nostalgic summer camp setting that made the enemies-to-lovers romance feel tense, physical, and emotionally earned. The chemistry worked, the spice served the story, and by the end, I immediately wanted the rest of the series." - Apropos Books
He's the one I swore I'd never ever fall for.
A teammate’s betrayal. A banishment. A secret revealed.
That’s all it took to unravel my life at the seams.
The punishment for my past mistakes goes further than expulsion, and penance can only come from the worst hell imaginable:
Summer camp.
Ten weeks spent wrangling a bunch of kids is bad enough, only to get worse when I meet my new co-counselor.
The back-stabber himself.
Kaleb LaMothe.
Being forced to coexist adds more tension to our already shaky foundation, but it also pushes us to uncover deeper parts of each other.
Until animosity becomes a feeling far more dangerous.
An attraction so potent, I lose sight of why I’m stuck in the wilderness to begin with.
And if I’m not careful, I might lose something else entirely.
Like my heart.
*Never Will I Ever is a new adult college romance featuring two quarreling camp counselors, grudges the size of Mount Hood, secretive outdoor rendezvous, and a group of meddling tweens sure to send you into hysterics. Not suitable for anyone under 18 years of age.*

Our take
One impulsive kiss turns certainty into something far more dangerous.

This new adult romance leans into bi-curious awakening, emotional risk, and escalating tension as desire starts to threaten everything they already are.
Choose your retailer
About the book
It was never meant to be more than a dare.
A party game. A dare. A single kiss.
That’s all it took to flip my world upside down.
I’ve always classified myself as straight, and as far as I can tell, so has he.
I didn’t think one kiss would change that, but I was so wrong.
Now, I can’t stop thinking about him. In all the ways I shouldn’t.
My best friend.
Aspen.
His taste is branded in my memory, his touch seared in my skin.
And I want more.
This simmering attraction I feel only grows with passing time.
Which is why I start tossing out new dares.
Riskier ones that toe lines we never thought we’d cross.
I’m gambling with our friendship, knowing it could ruin us.
But there’s so much more at stake here.
Like my heart.
*Don't You Dare is a new adult college romance featuring two best friends, too many baseball puns, scorching dirty talk, and a whole lot of bi-curious exploration. Not suitable for anyone under 18 years of age.*

Wanting someone is one thing.
Chasing The Alpha’s Son
LGBTQIA+ · Teen + Young Adult · Travis' Picks · Gay Romance · Paranormal Romance
Our take
Wanting someone is one thing. Chasing them through silence, distance, and pack politics is another. In Chasing The Alpha’s Son, Max follows Jasper into the mountains for one last chance at the connection they left unresolved, only to find rivalry, unrest, and looming change waiting in the snow. This YA queer shifter romance deepens the series with longing, emotional uncertainty, and fate tested under pressure.
Choose your retailer
About the book
The second book in Penny Jessup’s best selling The Alpha’s Son series.
It’s been three months since their kiss on the beach and Max hasn’t heard a whisper from Jasper.
With Christmas fast approaching, and despite vowing he would chase Jasper to the ends of the world, Max is ready to give up. Until Alpha Jericho announces he’s sending a select envoy of Elite Pack wolves to an allied wolf-pack stationed high in the rocky mountains, where they will bear witness to a Blood Moon. A week in a cozy ski-lodge sounds as romantic as you can get, so Max decides to give things with Jasper one last shot.
But life in the mountains is rockier than expected and finding alone time with Jasper is harder than Max thought. Political unrest between the packs is galvanizing Jasper’s determination to keep them apart, and new and old suitors are emerging in the pursuit of Jasper’s affections.
Running headfirst into snow storms, Max begins to question if the destiny he’s been chasing is what he really wants. And when the Blood Moon arrives, bringing irrevocable change that no one saw coming, Max and Jasper’s connection will be put to the ultimate test.
Will they find the path between souls among the snow covered peaks or will the mountain roads lead them to an unexpected destiny?

Fate feels a lot less romantic when it pairs you with the last person you want.
The Alpha’s Son
LGBTQIA+ · Teen + Young Adult · Travis' Picks · Gay Romance · Paranormal Romance
Our take
Fate feels a lot less romantic when it pairs you with the last person you want. In The Alpha’s Son, Max Remus heads to a werewolf summer festival expecting nothing, only to find himself bound to the arrogant heir of an elite pack. This YA paranormal romance blends wolf shifters, queer yearning, and coming-of-age tension with humor, heart, and bite.
Choose your retailer
About the book
Max Remus couldn’t care less about finding his mate—unlike the rest of his fate-obsessed pack. He totally prefers hanging with his bestie, eating his dad’s steak sandwiches, and drawing in his trusty sketchbook.
But all that is about to change at the Blue Moon Festival—a summer camp where Elite Pack wolves go to find their mates. The festival is a right of passage for every teen werewolf, and this year’s festival will be one to howl home about. The alpha’s son, Jasper Apollo, is attending for the first time.
When Max finds himself inexplicably linked with the exceptionally handsome but totally jerk-faced heir, he’s forced to grapple with the unexpected feelings clawing at his soul.
If Max rejects his destiny, will fate’s bite be worse than its bark?
Netflix's Young Royals meets Teen Wolf meets Twilight––the first installment in a thrilling new series, The Alpha's Son is a heart-wrenching Young Adult, Boys Love, wolf shifter romance; full of yearning, comedy, and adventure.

About the book
Sarah Temple hopes to find a bit of peace and quiet when she leaves her abusive boyfriend, but instead she finds a world of horror. It’s bad enough that a sadistic serial killer and another maniac are both trying to murder her, but what’s worse is the mysterious Solitary One who controls both of them, a malevolent entity that the serial killer describes as a living darkness, a man and yet not a man, something that’s alive and yet not alive, something that wants to appall the world.
Trying to flee from the two killers, Sarah finds herself running deeper and deeper into a deadly supernatural trap, a place where people are buried alive, where ghastly apparitions mutter in the dark, where demented killers prowl, where a crumbling haunted house can drive its victims mad with terror, and where something buried for a very long time may walk again.

Hades’ Daughter
Fantasy · Jaime's Picks · Travis' Picks · Epic Fantasy · Historical Fantasy
Our take
When gods treat mortals as pieces on a board, vengeance can echo across centuries. In Hades' Daughter, the fall of Troy sends the warrior Brutus eastward under divine vision, unaware he walks into a legacy of betrayal rooted in the ancient Labyrinth.

Choose your retailer
About the book
Ancient Greece: A place where the gods hold mortal life cheap, mere playthings to amuse, delight, and abuse at their will.
But those puny mortals are not wholly devoid of power and at the core of their fabulous city-states lies the Labyrinth, where they can shape the powers of the heavens to their own design. When Theseus entered the Labyrinth and came away with the prize of freedom and his beloved Adrianne, Mistress of the Labyrinth, his future seemed assured... Until he abandoned her for the unforgivable sin of bearing him only a daughter, and the world seemed to change. From that day forward, all the Labyrinths in the ancient world started to decay. It slowly became clear that power was fading from the city-states.
Was it the natural decline that comes to all cultures or was it because the power of the Labyrinth had been corrupted by a woman spurned?
A hundred years pass—Troy has fallen and the Trojans are a scattered and humbled people. The warrior Brutus is of the line of kings and gods. He wears the golden kingship bands of Troy proudly—but they are his only mementos of a former glory, for he is a man without a country and is left little else but pride and a memory of the latent power that he could wield if but given a chance. When he receives a god-sent vision of a distant shore where he can rebuild the ancient kingdom, he will move heaven and earth to reach his destiny.
Ever eastward he is drawn, to a lovely and mystical green land that offers him a haven—and a dream of power and conquest. Nothing will deter him... not even the entreaties of the young princess whom he took as his wife and bedded against her will. First her hatred—and now her love—torment and bind him. She is the only one who realizes the danger he is stepping into, and she will do anything to save him... and his son, whom she carries in her womb.
For in the mists of Albion there lies a woman of power—a woman who has used her siren call to cloud Brutus's mind and has her own reasons for luring the warrior to these lush shores....
She is the long-descended granddaughter of Adrianne, and she has in her heart a hatred that has been passed down for generations. Her plans for Brutus will enact a revenge that could destroy the gods themselves.
If Brutus makes the journey successfully, it will be the next step in the Game of the Labyrinth and might start a complicated contest of wills that could span centuries....
