When a threat from his past resurfaces, a carefully rebuilt life begins to fracture.
The Allure of Ruins
LGBTQIA+ · Romance · Bisexual Romance · Gay Romance
Our take
When a threat from his past resurfaces, a carefully rebuilt life begins to fracture. In The Allure of Ruins, Paxton Walsh turns to his closest friend and employer, Colton Gates, whose quiet devotion has long blurred the line between partnership and love. Forced into proximity and honesty, this M/M romance explores healing, loyalty, and the risk of choosing more.

About the book
Paxton Walsh has a comfortable life, which wasn’t always the case. But ever since he left his tumultuous life on the West Coast, trading it for a new beginning on the East Coast, things have settled. He can thank himself for the change, but also his boss and friend, Colton Gates. Their relationship is…a bit too codependent and close for most people to understand, but it works perfectly for them. So what if thoughts can be conveyed with a glance? That doesn’t really mean anything. Or at least not what other people think.
But now a threat from Pax’s past is back, shattering that hard-won peace. With Pax in danger and needing protection, Colton immediately steps up and takes him in. Without distance, though, without retreating to separate homes, both men have to be honest about their feelings. The truth is, Pax was hurt, body and soul, and if he reaches for Colton and finds they can’t be more, he’ll lose everything. If Colton does the same and it doesn’t work, he’ll lose Pax, his best friend and the person who knows him better than anyone. With both of them terrified of the what-ifs, it might be too hard to have faith and jump. If only they could both be brave.

Choose your retailer
About the book
Finn
Getting into the vampire-only detective unit was the easy part; what’s going to be more difficult is dealing with my new partner, an ancient vampire who keeps threatening to eat me. The unit has never had a human in it, and Marcus—or as I like to call him, Fangy McFangface—would really prefer to keep it that way. He’s grumpy, short-tempered, and broody, but I have a way with words and I know he’s starting to like me, even if he swears he’s not. But what he doesn’t know is that I didn’t join the unit because I was tired of being a homicide detective, I joined because there is someone after me. They’ve already taken enough from me and I’m afraid they’re going to take all of me if I don’t find someone to help. That’s all Marcus was supposed to be, but now, he’s so much more and I can’t imagine my life without him.
Marcus
The moment the pesky human walked through that door, I knew I had to get rid of him. He’s charming and almost everyone else instantly loves him, but he doesn’t understand how risky it is being part of this unit as a human. But as I get to know the stubborn man, I learn that perhaps he’s not as naive as I once thought. And maybe he’s what I needed to realize there is more to life than just work and my dog. A group arises who is threatening to disrupt the alliance between the humans and the vampires, but Finn is the one who shows me how strong that alliance can be and reminds me why it’s worth protecting. When threats hit closer to home, I realize I would do anything for Finn because he’s brought so much joy to my life—and because he’s mine.
This 105k word book contains: A creative use for undergarments, unintentional splits, a wolfhound who just wants to be a part of things, a vertically challenged human who still manages to wrap every vampire he meets around his little finger, the best date ever, possessiveness, really awkward dancing, some workplace revenge, and just a bite or two. Or three.
While the plot of the first book is tied up and completed, there's a minor cliffhanger that will be tied up in the second book.

Atticus King rebuilt his life after Noah Rossi vanished without a word, burying the hurt that once consumed him.
Echoes of Us
LGBTQIA+ · Romance · Bisexual Romance · College Romance · Gay Romance · New Adult
Our take
Atticus King rebuilt his life after Noah Rossi vanished without a word, burying the hurt that once consumed him. But when Noah returns two years later, the connection between them ignites again—along with the pain he left behind. As they confront addiction, heartbreak, and the truth of why Noah disappeared, they must decide whether love is worth the risk of breaking again.
Choose your retailer
About the book
Atticus King had his life mapped out—train hard, play volleyball, keep to himself. That is, until Noah Rossi burst onto the scene: charismatic, impulsive, a storm that tore through Atticus’s carefully built walls and set his world on fire. They didn’t fit—Noah was everything Atticus wasn’t—but somehow, they found a rhythm in their shared love for the game and an undeniable pull toward each other. It was everything Atticus never knew he wanted.
But just as quickly as Noah entered his life, he disappeared. No explanation. No goodbye. Only silence that left Atticus drowning in confusion and pain.
Two years later, Noah walks back into Atticus’s world as if nothing ever happened, stirring up old feelings Atticus has tried to bury. The bond they shared is undeniable, but so is the hurt that lingers beneath the surface. Why did Noah leave? And can they rebuild something from the shattered pieces of their past?
Love isn’t easy. But for Atticus and Noah, it might be the only thing worth fighting for.
An MM story about real love—messy, complicated, and raw. About addiction, toxic relationships, and the struggle to claw your way out of the trenches. About facing the truth, even when it’s ugly. About second chances that may or may not come with new heartbreak.

Murder, inheritance, and a garden that sounds extremely interested in human blood.
Hazelthorn
Horror · LGBTQIA+ · Teen + Young Adult · Travis' Picks · 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.

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

A warm fit for readers who like historical queer romance, baseball, grumpy/sunshine dynamics, and emotionally grounded found family.
You Should Be So Lucky
LGBTQIA+ · Romance · Gay Romance · Historical Romance
Our take
During the 1960 baseball season, struggling shortstop Eddie O'Leary is assigned to give interviews to Mark Bailey, an arts reporter reluctantly covering his story. Their connection develops into a slow-burn queer romance shaped by grief and found family, with a 4.3-star average from more than 19,300 Goodreads ratings. A warm fit for readers who like historical queer romance, baseball, grumpy/sunshine dynamics, and emotionally grounded found family.
Choose your retailer
About the book
An emotional, slow-burn, grumpy/sunshine, queer mid-century romance for fans of Evvie Drake Starts Over, about grief and found family, between the new star shortstop stuck in a batting slump and the reporter assigned to (reluctantly) cover his first season—set in the same universe as We Could Be So Good.
The 1960 baseball season is shaping up to be the worst year of Eddie O’Leary’s life. He can’t manage to hit the ball, his new teammates hate him, he’s living out of a suitcase, and he’s homesick. When the team’s owner orders him to give a bunch of interviews to some snobby reporter, he’s ready to call it quits. He can barely manage to behave himself for the length of a game, let alone an entire season. But he’s already on thin ice, so he has no choice but to agree.
Mark Bailey is not a sports reporter. He writes for the arts page, and these days he’s barely even managing to do that much. He’s had a rough year and just wants to be left alone in his too-empty apartment, mourning a partner he’d never been able to be public about. The last thing he needs is to spend a season writing about New York’s obnoxious new shortstop in a stunt to get the struggling newspaper more readers.
Isolated together within the crush of an anonymous city, these two lonely souls orbit each other as they slowly give in to the inevitable gravity of their attraction. But Mark has vowed that he’ll never be someone’s secret ever again, and Eddie can’t be out as a professional athlete. It’s just them against the world, and they’ll both have to decide if that’s enough.

Aphra Marsh, one of the only survivors of the government’s 1928 assault on Innsmouth, is asked by the FBI to help recover stolen occult secrets that could ignite…
Winter Tide
Fantasy · LGBTQIA+ · Cosmic Horror · Historical Fantasy
Our take
Aphra Marsh, one of the only survivors of the government’s 1928 assault on Innsmouth, is asked by the FBI to help recover stolen occult secrets that could ignite the Cold War. Returning to the ruins of her past, she must reclaim her history and forge new bonds to face threats both human and uncanny. Ruthanna Emrys delivers a haunting, inventive reimagining of Lovecraft’s mythos.
Choose your retailer
About the book
This "weird, lyrical mystery" brings the Cthulhu mythos into the Cold War era: "an innovative gem that turns Lovecraft on his head" (Cherie Priest).
After attacking Devil's Reef in 1928, the US government rounded up the people of Innsmouth and took them to the desert, far from their ocean, their Deep One ancestors, and their sleeping god Cthulhu. Only Aphra and Caleb Marsh survived the camps, and they emerged without a past or a future.
The government that stole Aphra's life now needs her help. FBI agent Ron Spector believes that Communist spies have stolen dangerous magical secrets from Miskatonic University, secrets that could turn the Cold War hot in an instant, and hasten the end of the human race.
Aphra must return to the ruins of her home, gather scraps of her stolen history, and assemble a new family to face the darkness of human nature.
Winter Tide is the debut novel from Ruthanna Emrys, author of the Aphra Marsh story, "The Litany of Earth"—included here as a bonus.

When Cael Amuletos uses forbidden healing magic to save a stranger, he’s forced into the capital to survive deadly mage examinations and earn the right to practice openly.
The King’s Man
LGBTQIA+ · Romantasy · Gay Romance
Our take
When Cael Amuletos uses forbidden healing magic to save a stranger, he’s forced into the capital to survive deadly mage examinations and earn the right to practice openly. Court intrigue, rising threats, and a prince with secrets complicate his path—but it’s Quin, the brilliant, infuriating scholar at his side, who unsettles him most. A slow-burn MM romantasy filled with danger, wit, and simmering tension.
Choose your retailer
About the book
He heals the dying. The kingdom calls it heresy.
When Cael Amuletos breaks the law to save a noble in the royal woods, he exposes the one thing he can’t afford to reveal: his forbidden gift for healing magic. Hunted by the law and crushed by family debts, Cael’s only way out is unthinkable: slip into the capital, survive the mage examinations, and win the right to heal in daylight.
Cael owes a life-debt to the man he saved, now revealed as a prince with secrets…and enemies. But it’s Quin, the razor-tongued scholar, who gets under his skin. Privileged, infuriating, dazzling. And the only mind that keeps pace when the tests turn lethal. He matches Cael thought for thought—and may risk his future to keep Cael alive.
THE KING’S MAN is an MM slow-burn romantasy of forbidden magic, court intrigue, perilous trials, found family, a protective prince ally, and rivals-to-lovers tension that simmers across the series: all tension, no insta-love. Book One delivers a complete adventure arc; the Cael×Quin slow burn deepens book by book toward a series-long HEA.

Bite Marks & Broken Hearts

Our take
A reckless escape leads to a mark that refuses to fade. After a demon encounter leaves Flynn bound to dark magic, survival hinges on the protection of Sebastián, a vampire who enforces order in London’s supernatural shadows.

About the book
How to destroy your life:
- Leave Ireland in the dead of night to flee to London;
- Get yourself dragged into an alley by a demon, marked, and doomed to die;
- Gain a mysterious, fatally attractive stalker/saviour. One with strangely sharp teeth…
Flynn
I never asked for this.
Okay, maybe a little. After all, the demon was undeniably hot–the perfect way to mend my broken heart.
But I certainly didn’t sign up to become his prey–because now my chest burns with ice as dark magic grows inside me… and he’ll be back to collect it.
Thankfully, I have a saviour. Tall, dark and handsome, though his vintage dress sense is slightly pretentious and his aversion to sunlight is a bit strange…
But if he keeps looking at me like I'm something worth devouring, I might just let him.
What's one more bad decision?
Sebastián
Five centuries has taught me three rules: stay detached, stay focused, and never, never feel too much.
I built Killigrew Street to control London's supernatural underbelly. We keep order in the shadows, we maintain the balance, and we absolutely do not rescue pretty Irish boys and lock them up in our hotel.
Except, apparently, we do now.
He's marked. He's stubborn. He has an infuriating habit of throwing himself headfirst into danger with zero self-preservation. And he’s my problem to solve.
When my protective instincts quickly twist into feelings, I know I should walk away.
But my cold, dead heart seems to have other ideas.
For how long can I keep my true vampiric nature from him?
In the meantime, at least watching him try to figure out why everyone keeps making bat jokes in front of me is… admittedly entertaining.
Bite Marks and Broken Hearts is an adult MM PNR romance. It contains one touch-starved, emotionally guarded vampire, the golden retriever human who’s determined to break down his walls, a found family like no other, snarky wolves, sizzling scenes, some serious fang action, and a HEA.
The Killigrew Street Case Files is a series of standalone paranormal romances where family is forged in the shadows. Each story features a different couple and mystery, connected by their growing supernatural team and overarching plot threads.

Toward Eternity
Dystopian · LGBTQIA+ · Literary Fiction · Sci-Fi · Speculative Fiction
Our take
In a near future where nanotherapy grants virtual immortality, literary scholar Yonghun vanishes and returns changed, raising unsettling questions about identity. His creation, an AI taught to understand poetry, is placed into an android body and given life, sparking a new evolution of sentient beings. Anton Hur delivers a haunting, lyrical exploration of personhood, progress, and love’s endurance.
Choose your retailer
About the book
"A love story spanning multiple millenniums, life-forms and variations on immortality, the book posits Victorian poetry as a weapon of empire, insists on nature's resilience in the face of genocide, and manipulates prose into something like a new language....Toward Eternity recognizes both the building and burning of bridges." -New York Times
*A PARADE, LITHUB, and CHICAGO REVIEW OF BOOKS Best New Book. *An AUDIOFILE EARPHONES AWARD WINNER.
Negotiating the terrain of Kazuo Ishiguro’s Klara and the Sun and Emily St. John Mandel’s Sea of Tranquility, a brilliant, haunting speculative novel from a #1 New York Times bestselling translator that sets out to answer the question: What does it mean to be human in a world where technology is quickly catching up to biology?
In a near-future world, a new technological therapy is quickly eradicating cancer. The body’s cells are entirely replaced with nanites—robot or android cells which not only cure those afflicted but leaves them virtually immortal.
Literary researcher Yonghun teaches an AI how to understand poetry and creates a living, thinking machine he names Panit, meaning Beloved, in honor of his husband. When Yonghun—himself a recipient of nanotherapy—mysteriously vanishes into thin air and then just as suddenly reappears, the event raises disturbing questions. What happened to Yonghun, and though he’s returned, is he really himself anymore?
When Dr. Beeko, the scientist who holds the patent to the nanotherapy technology, learns of Panit, he transfers its consciousness from the machine into an android body, giving it freedom and life. As Yonghun, Panit, and other nano humans thrive—and begin to replicate—their development will lead them to a crossroads and a choice with existential consequences.
Exploring the nature of intelligence and the unexpected consequences of progress, the meaning of personhood and life, and what we really have to fear from technology and the future, Toward Eternity is a gorgeous, thought-provoking novel that challenges the notion of what makes us human—and how love survives even the end of that humanity.

Summer Sons
Horror · LGBTQIA+
Our take
After Eddie’s sudden death, Andrew arrives in Nashville to inherit a life he never wanted—strangers for roommates, dangerous new friends, and a ravenous ghost that won’t leave him alone. His search for answers pulls him into a world of academic rivalries and backroad racing, where secrets pulse beneath every surface. Lee Mandelo’s debut is a haunting queer Southern Gothic.
Choose your retailer
About the book
Lee Mandelo's debut Summer Sons is a sweltering, queer Southern Gothic that crosses Appalachian street racing with academic intrigue, all haunted by a hungry ghost.
Andrew and Eddie did everything together, best friends bonded more deeply than brothers, until Eddie left Andrew behind to start his graduate program at Vanderbilt. Six months later, only days before Andrew was to join him in Nashville, Eddie dies of an apparent suicide. He leaves Andrew a horrible inheritance: a roommate he doesn’t know, friends he never asked for, and a gruesome phantom that hungers for him.
As Andrew searches for the truth of Eddie’s death, he uncovers the lies and secrets left behind by the person he trusted most, discovering a family history soaked in blood and death. Whirling between the backstabbing academic world where Eddie spent his days and the circle of hot boys, fast cars, and hard drugs that ruled Eddie’s nights, the walls Andrew has built against the world begin to crumble.
And there is something awful lurking, waiting for those walls to fall.
