About the book
IVAN
I’ve spent seven years searching for the boy who taught me how to survive. Jay and I were foster brothers in the same house, hiding from an abusive alcoholic who made fear a daily rule. He taught me when to stay silent, when to disappear, when to run. At night, we hid in the barn and memorized facts about each other—names, birthdays, scars—because we knew we could be separated at any moment. We made a vow that no matter where they sent us, no matter how long it took, we would find each other again.
When I finally find Jay years later, he isn’t the boy I knew. He’s broken in ways that don’t heal cleanly, carrying what was done to him like it’s carved into his bones. But I made him a promise, and I intend to keep it. I didn’t survive all those years to lose him again.
JAY
I learned young that nothing stays, not homes and not safety. The only thing that ever felt solid was a boy who survived with me until they ripped us apart.
After that, I learned how to numb my pain. I told myself the boy I remembered was gone forever, because believing anything else hurt too much. Then he’s back in my life, and I want things I don’t deserve. I want him in ways I’m terrified to ask for.
Letting him close means letting him see the parts of me I keep buried, the damage I pretend doesn’t exist. If he really sees me, he’ll leave. And I don’t know if I’d survive losing him twice.
Remember My Name is a deeply emotional gay M/M hurt/comfort romance about found family, healing from trauma, recovery, and lasting love.

About the book
The winter solstice. The darkest day, the longest night.
Every year the solstice heralds the return of the masquerade ball. Fae and human dance and drink and make merry, so long as they remain masked. But there's a darker side to this night. Should a guest lose their mask, their life is forfeit, cursed to dance forever for the entertainment of the masquerade's cold and cruel fae host.
Ever since he was a boy, Brice LeChoix's mother had warned him of the terrible fae. But it wasn't the fae who took his parents from him. Madness did that. Years later, now Lord of the crumbling LeChoix estate and buckled by debt, he has more important things to think about than fairytales.
Until the masquerade comes to town. Every year on the solstice it appears, and every year the townsfolk frolic with the fae. Some never return.
Brice warned his brother not to go. And when the masquerade vanishes like mist at dawn, it takes Charon with it.
Now Brice must return to the masquerade, the very place he vowed never to set foot in again. The fae know his desires, they know his weaknesses. Forbidden lust will lure Brice from his world, into theirs. To save his brother, he must survive the masquerade's beautiful lies and avoid the host's wicked ways.
But the fae have other ideas. One in particular has his eye on Brice... The trickster, Raoul, will stop at nothing to seduce Brice because he knows, more than anyone, that the masquerade is a trap from which no soul truly ever escapes.
The longest night is upon us. Can you hear their call? Take my hand, come with me, to the masquerade ball...

A captured assassin and a doomed prince should be enemies, but forbidden desire turns survival into something far more dangerous.
Silk and Steel
Romantasy · LGBTQIA+ · Gay Romance
Our take
A captured assassin and a doomed prince should be enemies, but forbidden desire turns survival into something far more dangerous. In Silk & Steel, Eroan’s mission to destroy the dragon queen collides with Lysander’s desperate need to escape her rule. This dark LGBTQ+ fantasy blends political violence, captivity, dragon-shifter lore, and a volatile romance shaped by duty, rage, and fragile loyalty.
Choose your retailer
About the book
A tormented dragon prince.
A captured elven assassin.
Duty demands they fight for their people but love has other plans.
Eroan, one of the last elven assassins, lives for one purpose: kill the dragon queen.
He would have succeeded if not for her last line of defense: Prince Lysander. Now, captured and forced into the queen’s bed, Eroan sees another opportunity. Why kill just the queen when he can kill them all? It would be simple, if not for the troubled and alluring dragon prince. A warrior, a killer, and something else… something Eroan finds himself inexplicably drawn to.
Trapped in a life he despises, Lysander knows his time is running out.
If the queen doesn’t kill him for his failures, her enemies will. There’s nothing left to live for, until an elf assassin almost kills him. A stubborn, prideful, fool of an elf who doesn’t know when to quit. An elf who sparks a violent, forbidden desire in Lysander. If Lysander can’t save himself, maybe he can save the elf and maybe, just maybe… one stubborn elf will be enough to bring down the queen before her reign brings death to them all.
This series is a dark lgbtq+ fantasy intended for mature readers. While Silk & Steel is a love story, it is not for everyone. Silk & Steel features a gay dragon shifter, a bisexual elf, and adult themes. There is triggering content that some readers may find distressing.

Faerie turns curiosity into captivity, and every promise carries a cost.
The Fae Queen’s Captive
LGBTQIA+ · Romantasy · Bisexual Romance · Lesbian Romance
Our take
Faerie turns curiosity into captivity, and every promise carries a cost. In The Fae Queen’s Captive, graduate student Janneth Carter is taken from a Scottish dig site into a sensual, dangerous realm ruled by the cruel Stag Queen. This is dark sapphic fantasy romance with abduction, bargaining, power imbalance, and a heroine trying to survive a world where desire is never simple.
Choose your retailer
About the book
Save some of your screams for the queen, there’s a good girl…
Janneth Carter has given up on magic these days. She’s done being curious, insatiable, dreamy; she just wants to finish her graduate degree and spend the rest of her life as a sensible archeologist. So the last thing she expects when she goes to her dig site on Halloween night is three mysterious strangers standing outside an ancient Scottish grave.
Okay, well the actual last thing she expects is for those strangers to kidnap her and drag her into fairyland.
Once in the vivid, carnal world of Faerie, Janneth is at the mercy of the coldly lovely and incredibly cruel Stag Queen. Desperate to get home to her own world, she offers the Queen a bargain: she’ll be a willing captive, the queen’s pet, so long as the Queen promises to keep her safe until Janneth leaves Faerie.
But fae promises are complicated things, and nothing in Faerie, even pleasure—even love—comes without a price…
The Fae Queen’s Captive is a dark sapphic standalone romance, set in the shared world of the Peculiar Tastes series. CWs can be found at the beginning of the book.
It's that time of year, friends. The moon is full and Samhain approaches. Your invitation to the Shadow Market is here. Three days of magic, drama, seduction, and maybe just a dash of human sacrifice! Come through the portal and meet witches, demons, gorgons, mermaids, the fae, and even the odd human who's gotten turned around and ended up somewhere they shouldn't.

Our take
Us follows two hockey players trying to protect their relationship while the pressure of secrecy starts to wear them down. Wes is thriving in his rookie NHL season, but keeping Jamie hidden from the media, teammates, and the world turns love into something fragile and exhausting. This is contemporary sports romance with established-couple tension, emotional stakes, forced secrecy, and the challenge of choosing each other in public and private.

About the book
Can your favorite hockey players finish their first season together undefeated?
Five months in, NHL forward Ryan Wesley is having a record-breaking rookie season. He’s living his dream of playing pro hockey and coming home every night to the man he loves—Jamie Canning, his longtime best friend turned boyfriend. There’s just one problem: the most important relationship of his life is one he needs to keep hidden, or else face a media storm that will eclipse his success on the ice.
Jamie loves Wes. He really, truly does. But hiding sucks. It’s not the life Jamie envisioned for himself, and the strain of keeping their secret is taking its toll. It doesn’t help that his new job isn’t going as smoothly as he’d hoped, but he knows he can power through it as long as he has Wes. At least apartment 10B is their retreat, where they can always be themselves.
Or can they? When Wes’s nosiest teammate moves in upstairs, the threads of their carefully woven lie begin to unravel. With the outside world determined to take its best shot at them, can Wes and Jamie develop major-league relationship skills on the fly?
Warning: contains sexual situations, a vibrating chair, long-distance sexytimes and proof that hockey players look hot in any shade of green.

About the book
While battling to save his family’s ranch, Baker finds himself falling for a man as unrestrained as the Oklahoma winds.
For as long as he can recall, Baker Bastian has been the backbone of Bastian Acres Ranch. He’s carried a heavy load, trying his best to keep his family legacy from being swallowed up by corporate farming while battling a fondness for the bottle, a messy divorce, and a grandmother who’s set on becoming the next Annie Oakley if she could just get a gun that shoots straight. It’s not been an easy road. Now, with his worthless philandering father’s death, the deed to the ranch is to be split four ways with three half-brothers he never wanted to get to know better.
As the ranch is tossed into chaos, Baker is driven to open the gates to strangers, and not just his brothers and their traveling companions. In order to turn a buck, the once proud owner of prime cattle is reduced to calling his farming legacy a guest ranch. The first client to show up is Hanley Welsh, a world-renowned wildlife photographer. Baker should be too busy to notice how rugged Hanley is, or how his eyes crinkle with his easy smile, or how well his jeans fit, but notice he does. Will Baker’s lonely existence end with the arrival of a man who carries the song of the indigo bunting in his heart?
Baker (Bastian Brothers #1) is a first in series grumpy/sunshine M/M contemporary western gay romance with a lonesome cowboy, a globetrotting wildlife photographer, unwanted family arrivals, a not-so-straight shooting octogenarian, and a picture-perfect happy ending.

About the book
Heaven has many rules for angels to follow, but one comes above all others.
Angels and demons cannot fall in love.
Micah
I’ve been alive for millennia and have yet to meet my fated mate. It’s not something I’ve ever cared about; my heart already belongs to another. Someone I can’t have. Someone who doesn’t want me.
Now I know we’ll never be together. Unlike me, he’s found his fated mates. Two of them.
That’s fine. As leader of the Seraphim, Heaven’s most elite unit of angels, I don’t have time for love.
Apparently fate has other ideas.
Meeting my mate on a battlefield outside Hell is surprising, to say the least. When you add in his uncanny resemblance to the man who broke my heart, it’s safe to say I’m far from pleased.
The fact that he’s a demon, my natural born enemy, is just icing on the cake of this is never going to happen. It’s a good thing I haven’t been banking on meeting my mate and living happily ever after, because there’s no way it’s happening with Nox.
It’s not like Nox wants me either. He hates me with a ferocity I’ve come to expect from his kind. The two of us never being together is the only thing we can agree on.
Still, there’s a pull between us that neither of us can ignore, no matter how much I wish we could. What starts out as hate sex, a way to try and burn off the intensity between us, quickly blossoms into something more. Something dangerous.
Something forbidden.
Conflicted is an exciting enemies to lovers, angel x demon, MM PNR romance. The first in the Hopeless Blessed series, each book will follow a different couple. All can be read as standalone titles.

A vampire’s confession becomes a dangerous invitation in Jacob, a horror novel about immortality, hunger, and the stories predators tell to survive.
Jacob
Horror · LGBTQIA+
Our take
A vampire’s confession becomes a dangerous invitation in Jacob, a horror novel about immortality, hunger, and the stories predators tell to survive. After centuries of secrecy, Jacob offers his life to an ambitious writer, but his account of nightsiders, daykeepers, and forbidden transformation blurs the line between revelation and manipulation.
Choose your retailer
About the book
Winner of the Lord Ruthven Award for Best Vampire Novel of the Year: The first horror novel from the author of Star Trek's "The Trouble with Tribbles" script.
Includes the bonus short story "Jacob in Manhattan."
With a writing legacy that includes Star Trek, Land of the Lost, and the Hugo and Nebula Award–winning novella The Martian Child, David Gerrold knows what it's like to be an author. Writing about vampires should be easy for him, right? But real vampires are far more sinister in real life than they are in fiction. Jacob is the story of an author's encounters with the undead creature who gives him success, forbidden knowledge, and ultimately, a choice.
Jacob is a cunning survivor. Orphaned in Seattle in the mid-nineteenth century, he could have been someone's convenient meal. Instead, he becomes the "daykeeper" for a man he knows only as Monsieur. Then he discovers the hidden community of nightsiders—men who live in secrecy and darkness—the true apex predators.
To be a nightsider is to experience heightened senses, bursts of super-strength, and frequent hallucinogenic episodes. Nightsiders also need to lie dormant to recover from their excesses. The daykeeper must be a protector against the daylight. But Jacob wanted more than that; he craved the promise of immortality. And so a century later, Jacob tells his story, this time to an ambitious young writer. It's a different kind of interview. Is it a seduction? Or is he just playing with his food? And who will write the final chapter?

Our take

About the book
A young New Yorker grieving his mother's death is pulled into a gritty underworld of art and wealth in this “extraordinary” and beloved novel that "connects with the heart as well as the mind" (Stephen King, New York Times Book Review), named a New York Times Best Book of the 21st Century.
Theo Decker, a 13-year-old New Yorker, miraculously survives an accident that kills his mother. Abandoned by his father, Theo is taken in by the family of a wealthy friend. Bewildered by his strange new home on Park Avenue, disturbed by schoolmates who don't know how to talk to him, and tormented above all by a longing for his mother, he clings to the one thing that reminds him of her: a small, mysteriously captivating painting that ultimately draws Theo into a wealthy and insular art community. As an adult, Theo moves silkily between the drawing rooms of the rich and the dusty labyrinth of an antiques store where he works. He is alienated and in love — and at the center of a narrowing, ever more dangerous circle.
The Goldfinch is a mesmerizing, stay-up-all-night and tell-all-your-friends triumph, an old-fashioned story of loss and obsession, survival and self-invention. From the streets of New York to the dark corners of the art underworld, this "soaring masterpiece" examines the devastating impact of grief and the ruthless machinations of fate (Ron Charles, Washington Post).

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
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
