About the book
Zack Nelson is a Navy SEAL with everything under control—except himself. He’s trading barracks life for a quieter, off-base rental to escape the pressure of hiding who he really is. But his new roommate, Pike Reynolds, is anything but quiet.
Pike is bold, openly gay, and knows how to push every button Zack tries to keep buried. Teasing Zack is fun—until feelings start creeping in. He’s been burned by closeted men before and refuses to fall for another tourist.
But close quarters, steamy tension, and an undeniable pull make resisting impossible. As their connection deepens, Zack’s forced to confront the truth he’s run from for years.
Can he risk everything—his career, his pride, his heart—for a man who just might be worth it?

About the book
An unexpected inheritance. A mysterious manor. And the world’s most terrifying HOA.
When recent grad Mathias Mandrake inherits a distant relative’s mansion, he expects creaky floors and cobwebs—not cryptic rules, arcane secrets, and the sudden need for roommates. Thankfully, his best friend Frankie jumps at the chance to leave hookup culture behind for something more domestic (and dilf-adjacent). Rounding out their new household is August, a soft-spoken writer with big dreams and a growing fondness for the chaos that is Mat and Frankie.
But Mandrake Manor holds more than charming oddities. With magic humming beneath the floorboards and an HOA that might actually be homicidal, the trio must stick together—or risk losing everything.
Good thing they’re not just building a home. They’re building a family.
And this house? It’s very much alive.

Fame, secrecy, and illness converged in the final years of one of rock’s most magnetic performers.
Somebody to Love
Biographies & Memoirs · LGBTQIA+
Our take
Fame, secrecy, and illness converged in the final years of one of rock’s most magnetic performers. In Somebody to Love, the life of Freddie Mercury unfolds through intimate interviews and historical context, tracing his search for love alongside the rise of the HIV and AIDS crisis. This biography examines legacy, identity, and cultural impact with emotional clarity and depth.
Choose your retailer
About the book
A biography examining the final days of Freddie Mercury in the dawn of AIDS and the legacy he left behind.
For the first time, the final years of one of the world's most captivating rock showman are laid bare. Including interviews from Freddie Mercury's closest friends in the last years of his life, along with personal photographs, Somebody to Love is an authoritative biography of the great man.
Here are previously unknown and startling facts about the singer and his life, moving detail on his lifelong search for love and personal fulfilment, and of course his tragic contraction of a then killer disease in the mid-1980s.
Woven throughout Freddie's life is the shocking story of how the HIV virus came to hold the world in its grip, was cruelly labelled "The Gay Plague" and the unwitting few who indirectly infected thousands of men, women and children—Freddie Mercury himself being one of the most famous.
The death of this vibrant and spectacularly talented rock star, shook the world of medicine as well as the world of music. Somebody to Love finally puts the record straight and pays detailed tribute to the man himself.
"Touts rare—and in some cases, never before seen—images of Mercury and new insight into his life."—People
"The book could be a standalone epidemiological study about the history of HIV/AIDS even without Mercury. But eventually, it weaves him into the timeline, giving a detailed account of his personal life, and his battle with the disease that tragically took him at age 45 in 1991. The result is a powerfully emotional read."—Rolling Stone

About the book
Mattinesh Jay just needs a swordsman—a charming, dangerous one willing to fake being his best man at an arranged marriage with everything on the line. What he gets is Luca Piere: part-time con artist, full-time beautiful disaster, and a man with more secrets than sword techniques.
What starts as a business arrangement quickly heats up, with sharp banter, slow-burn tension, and blades that definitely cross—literally and figuratively. But when sabotage, blackmail, and buried secrets threaten everything Matti’s built, Luca may be the one man who can save him… or destroy him.
A Power Unbound is a scorching, cozy-adjacent fantasy romance where the stakes are low, the heat is high, and the swords are very much involved. Think Legends & Lattes meets From Blood and Ash—and fall in love with falling in love.

Captive Prince
Fantasy · LGBTQIA+ · Romantasy
Our take
Power shifts fast when a prince loses everything except the truth he cannot afford to reveal. In Captive Prince, Damen is stripped of his crown, sent into the court of a rival nation, and forced into the orbit of a prince whose beauty and cruelty hide a far sharper danger. This political fantasy thrives on tension, mistrust, and the slow pressure of survival inside a court built on manipulation.

About the book
From cult-favorite writing duo Kit Rocha comes a fiery novel set in a lush fantasy world brimming with ancient magic, dangerous secrets, and erotic connections.
For three thousand years, an ancient dragon god has protected the borders of the Sheltered Lands. In return, he makes only one demand: every one hundred years, the mortal ruler must send their heir to serve as his consort…for as long as they can survive.
Sachielle of House Roquebarre is the thirty-first consort to be sacrificed to the monster who guards the mountain passes. She is young, beautiful—and she has three secrets.
First: she’s a disposable orphan trained in seduction.
Second: her handmaid, Zanya, is an assassin and the only person she has ever loved.
Third—and most dangerous: she’s cursed. Sachi and Zanya have five weeks to murder the Dragon in his bed. If they fail, the mortal king’s curse will steal not just Sachi’s life, but her very soul.
The Dragon has only one secret: he is nothing like what they have been told. And he will do whatever it takes to possess them both.

About the book
Christian has one goal: show up to his cousin’s wedding looking wildly successful and completely unfazed by the family that cut him off a decade ago. Step one? Hire the perfect fake date. Step two? Hope he doesn’t cancel at the last minute.
Émile just needs a husband—temporary, of course. His grandfather’s will promises a life-changing inheritance if he gets married… and stays that way. When he meets Christian, spiraling and tux-clad outside a wedding, the solution is obvious.
Help each other. Get married. Cash out. Walk away.
But feelings weren’t part of the plan, and neither were the messy families, vulnerable confessions, or inconvenient sparks.
Perfect for fans of Red, White & Royal Blue and Boyfriend Material, this is fake dating with real feels—and maybe forever.

One spring morning, Kathryn Schulz went to lunch with a stranger and fell in love. Having spent years looking for the right relationship, she was dazzled by how swiftly everything changed when she finally met her future wife. But as the two of them began building a life together, Schulz’s beloved father—a charming, brilliant, absentminded Jewish refugee—went into the hospital with a minor heart condition and never came out. Newly in love yet also newly bereft, Schulz was left contending simultaneously with wild joy and terrible grief.
Those twin experiences form the heart of Lost & Found, a profound meditation on the families that make us and the families we make. But Schulz’s book also explores how disappearance and discovery shape us all. On average, we each lose two hundred thousand objects over our lifetime, and Schulz brilliantly illuminates the relationship between those everyday losses and our most devastating ones. Likewise, she explores the importance of seeking, whether for ancient ruins or new ideas, friends, faith, meaning, or love. The resulting book is part memoir, part guidebook to sustaining wonder and gratitude even in the face of loss and grief. A staff writer at The New Yorker and winner of the Pulitzer Prize, Schulz writes with curiosity, tenderness, and humor about the connections between joy and sorrow—and between us all.
