A DEA contractor.
Chasing Safe Harbor
LGBTQIA+ · Romance
Our take
A DEA contractor. A small-town architect. A moment that changes everything. When Michael witnesses something strange off the California coast, he unwittingly becomes tangled in Thorsen Magnus’s undercover investigation—and in his arms. But in a town where secrets don’t stay hidden, their growing attraction might be as dangerous as the case itself.
Choose your retailer
About the book
DEA contractor Thorsen Magnus never wanted to return to the small town he left behind—especially not with his estranged father still there. But duty calls, and his latest assignment brings him back to the place he swore he’d never return. What he didn’t expect was Michael Constantine.
Michael has spent his life trying—and failing—to live up to his father’s expectations. When a moment of solitude on the cliffs turns into a near fall into Thor’s arms, he finds himself drawn into something far more dangerous than family drama.
Thor needs answers. Michael has them. As their attraction intensifies, so do the risks, and when the case brings them closer to home than either expected, they’ll have to decide—trust each other, or risk losing everything.

How to Flirt with a Hellhound

Our take
How to Flirt with a Hellhound pairs socially awkward writer Toby with Dexter, the hot neighbor whose hellhound instincts are set off by Toby’s odd murder-research questions and growing danger from a real stalker, with a 4.5-star rating from more than 4,100 Amazon reviewers. Good for readers who like MM paranormal romance, protective monsters, awkward flirting, humor, and supernatural danger.

About the book
Toby
Maybe I have an overactive imagination, but the hot guy next door totally gives off serial killer vibes. Why else would he know how long it takes to bleed out from a wound? Yeah, ok, so I asked, but it was research. Being an author definitely makes for some odd questions (someone had better clear my browser history when I die, that’s all I’m saying). It’s not like I’m stalking my hot neighbor or anything—there’s nothing wrong with watching him out my window. Although I might have my own stalker (and not the cute harmless kind), which is kind of terrifying. Even if he isn’t a serial killer, maybe my seriously sexy neighbor whose eyes seem to glow red (a trick of the light, I’m sure) can help me out.
Dexter
How do you tell your cute neighbor that cutting off fingers probably won’t cause a victim to bleed out? I don’t know if trying out Toby’s writing ideas is a good method of flirting, but there’s just something about him that calls to my hellhound. He’s adorable, awkward, and all kinds of clueless. He brings out my protective instincts, and I find myself wanting to please him, even if that means figuring out some of the answers to his rather bloodthirsty questions. When I find out Toby might actually be in danger, nothing will stop my hellhound from protecting him. He’s mine, even if he doesn’t know it, and I’ll tear apart anyone who even thinks of hurting him.
Tags: Socially awkward writer and serial killer(ish) hellhound fall in love; talking about dismemberment totally counts as flirting, right?; there’s death and maiming, but only of really bad people; Dex would literally burn the world down for those he cares about; Toby is adorably clueless; hellhounds have tails, and they know how to use them.

About the book
“If you’re looking for a new series with the same kind of found family, band of brothers feel you got from Albert’s Out of Uniform, this is the place to start!” —Small Queer, Big Opinions
Introducing Annabeth Albert’s Hotshots series: The emotions and intensity of Chicago Fire with the raw, natural elements of Man vs. Wild.
Smokejumper Lincoln Reid is speechless to see Jacob Hartman among his squad’s new recruits. Linc had promised his late best friend he’d stay away from his little brother. And yet here Jacob is…and almost instantly, the same temptation Linc has always felt around him is causing way too many problems.
Jacob gets everyone’s concerns, but he’s waited years for his shot at joining the elite smokejumping team, hoping to honor his brother’s memory. He’s ready to tackle any challenge Linc throws his way, and senses the chemistry between them—chemistry Linc insists on ignoring —is still alive and kicking. This time, Jacob’s determined to get what he wants.
Close quarters and high stakes make it difficult for Linc to keep his resolve, nevermind do so while also making sure the rookie’s safe. But the closer they get, the more Linc’s plan to leave at the end of the season risks him breaking another promise: the one his heart wants to make to Jacob.
Danger lurks everywhere for Central Oregon’s fire crews, but the biggest risk of all might be losing their hearts.

Power survives in fragments, hidden in rhymes, rituals, and the stories women pass between them.
The Once and Future Witches
Fantasy · LGBTQIA+ · Historical Fantasy
Our take
Power survives in fragments, hidden in rhymes, rituals, and the stories women pass between them. The Once and Future Witches follows three estranged sisters who join the suffrage movement and uncover the old magic that could turn political resistance into something far more dangerous. Alix E. Harrow blends historical fantasy, sisterhood, and feminist rebellion into a sweeping novel about power, memory, and the cost of reclaiming both.
Choose your retailer
About the book
**In the late 1800s, three sisters use witchcraft to change the course of history in this powerful novel of magic, family, and the suffragette movement.
"A gorgeous and thrilling paean to the ferocious power of women. The characters live, bleed, and roar. "―Laini Taylor, New York Times bestselling author**
In 1893, there's no such thing as witches. There used to be, in the wild, dark days before the burnings began, but now witching is nothing but tidy charms and nursery rhymes. If the modern woman wants any measure of power, she must find it at the ballot box.
But when the Eastwood sisters―James Juniper, Agnes Amaranth, and Beatrice Belladonna―join the suffragists of New Salem, they begin to pursue the forgotten words and ways that might turn the women's movement into the witch's movement. Stalked by shadows and sickness, hunted by forces who will not suffer a witch to vote―and perhaps not even to live―the sisters will need to delve into the oldest magics, draw new alliances, and heal the bond between them if they want to survive.
There's no such thing as witches. But there will be.
An homage to the indomitable power and persistence of women, The Once and Future Witches reimagines stories of revolution, motherhood, and women's suffrage—the lost ways are calling.
Praise for The Once and Future Witches:
"A glorious escape into a world where witchcraft has dwindled to a memory of women's magic, and three wild, sundered sisters hold the key to bring it back...A tale that will sweep you away."―Yangsze Choo, New York Times bestselling author
"This book is an amazing bit of spellcraft and resistance so needed in our times, and a reminder that secret words and ways can never be truly and properly lost, as long as there are tongues to speak them and ears to listen."―P. Djèlí Clark, author The Black God's Drum
A New York Times bestseller • Winner of the British Fantasy Award for Best Fantasy Novel • Named One of the Best Books of the Year by NPR Books • Barnes and Noble • BookPage

About the book
Away games, back seats, and the locker room after hours... Get ready for a new sapphic bully romance!
CLAY
Marymount girls are good girls. We're chaste, we're untouched, and even if we weren't, no one would know, because we keep our mouths shut.
Not that I have anything to share anyway. I never let guys go too far. I'm behaved. Beautiful, smart, talented, popular, my skirt's always pressed, and I never have a hair out of place. I own the hallways, walking tall on Monday and dropping to my knees like the good Catholic girl I am on Sunday.
That's me. Always in control. Or so they think. The truth is that it's easy for me to resist them, because what I truly want, they can never be. Something soft and smooth. Someone dangerous and wild. Unfortunately, what I want I have to hide.
In the locker room after hours. In the bathroom stall between classes. In the showers after practice.
For me, life is a web of secrets. No one can find out mine.
OLIVIA
I cross the tracks every day for one reason—to graduate from this school and get into the Ivy League. I'm not ashamed of where I come from, my family, or how everyone at Marymount thinks my skirts are too short and my lipstick is too red.
Clay Collins and her friends have always turned up their noses at me. The witch with her beautiful skin, clean shoes, and rich parents who torments me daily and thinks I won't fight back.
At least not until I get her alone and find out she's hiding so much more than just what's underneath those pretty clothes. The princess thinks I'll scratch her itch. She thinks she's still pure as long as it's not a guy touching her.
I told her to stay on her side of town. I told her not to cross the tracks. But one night, she did.
And when I'm done with her, she'll never be pure again.
