Best friends turned enemies.
Wicked Lies Boys Tell
LGBTQIA+ · Romance · Gay Romance
Our take
Best friends turned enemies. Enemies turned something darker. Wicked Lies Boys Tell is a searing MM romance full of obsession, betrayal, and undeniable heat.

About the book
I’m not in love with my best friend. That’s the lie I keep telling myself.
Copeland Justice used to be everything. My closest friend. My safe place. Then he became the enemy who ruined me with a look and broke me with a word. Now every glance cuts, every interaction burns, and I can't tell where the hate ends and the craving begins.
This is not a love story wrapped in flowers and sunshine. It's messy. It's painful. It's the kind of love you try to bury but can’t stop needing.
From USA Today bestselling author K Webster comes a sizzling, angst-drenched MM romance about blurred lines, twisted loyalties, and the fine line between hating someone and wanting them more than anything.

Our take
A runaway wife. A murdered sister. Three men who could save her—or destroy her.

About the book
I was his first wife. His favorite. His prisoner.
Forced to marry a cult leader, I wore the veil, endured the punishments, and gave everything—except the son he demanded. When he threatened my daughter and my sister, I ran. But Saint View didn’t save us. It buried us deeper.
Now my sister’s dead. My ex-husband’s a suspect. And I’m living under the protection of a biker club full of secrets and sin.
There’s Hawk, the brooding VP who doesn’t want me there—but watches me like he does.
Chaos, the rival gang leader who makes danger look tempting.
And Grayson, the heartbroken doctor with scars of his own.
Three men. One shattered life. And a killer who isn’t done with us yet.
Some vows are deadly. Some desires even more so.

He was the boy who changed everything, and the man Ellis never stopped loving.

About the book
He was my beginning. And my never-ending.
Ellis
There’s a lot I’ve never told my best friend. The fact that I love him. That I miss him every day he’s gone. That, sometimes, I ache for him with a ferocity that leaves me breathless.
Lucky Buchanan tore into my life as a boy, wild and daring, my opposite in every way. He drew me in, stole my heart without trying. He hears me, even though I rarely speak a word. But I always knew this place wouldn’t be enough for my free-spirited friend. I knew he wasn’t mine to keep.
So why, when I finally try to get over him, does he sweep back into town? Why is he upset? Why is there tension between us for the first time in years?
I never saw a future where Lucky could be mine. But now, unless I want to lose my friend, I might not have a choice but to tell the truth. My heart belongs to him. It has from the start.
If only I knew how to hold onto a creature that’s meant to fly.
To Catch a Firefly is a standalone, childhood friends-to-lovers romance told in dual POV. There’s epic levels of pining, a neurodivergent MC with selective mutism, two friends who always come back to one another, glass hearts and romantic declarations, and a HEA beneath the night sky.

Forbidden sparks fly in Ana Huang’s The Striker, where a ballerina-turned-trainer and the world’s hottest footballer collide in a dangerously steamy brother’s rival romance.

About the book
He’s football royalty. She’s ballet royalty. Too bad she’s also his rival’s sister.
Asher Donovan might be the greatest striker in the game—but after wrecking a championship with his teammate-turned-enemy, he's sentenced to off-season “bonding.” Enter Scarlett DuBois: brilliant, beautiful, and totally off-limits.
Once a prima ballerina, now a trainer with a painful past, Scarlett wants nothing to do with arrogant athletes—especially not her brother’s nemesis. But when her brother leaves town and Asher becomes her responsibility, things get… complicated.
The tension? Off the charts. The chemistry? Dangerous. The rules? About to be broken.
Scarlett swore she’d never fall for a footballer. Asher swore he’d keep things professional.
Oops.
Ana Huang’s The Striker is a steamy, slow-burn brother’s rival romance that does not play fair.

About the book
Featured in USA Today's "Best Rom-Coms" of May 2023 and one of the Washington Post's best romances of the year!
"The Stand-In is a charming, engaging rom com that drips in glamour and sparkles with banter. Chu's exploration of multi-racial identity was resonant and nuanced. The Stand-In is truly a stand out romance." — USA Today bestselling author Andie J. Christopher
Gracie Reed was just fired by her overly "handsy" boss at the worst possible moment. She's been scraping together every extra dollar to get her mother into a top-notch memory care center. To make matters worse, a paparazzo has mistaken her for a famous Chinese actress in town for a new project and the resulting snapshot's gone viral. Gracie's barely holding it all together…until a mysterious SUV rolls up beside her on the street, and she's offered the opportunity of a lifetime.
Gracie can't believe what she's hearing: due to their uncanny resemblance, gorgeous actress Wei Fangli wants Gracie to be her stand-in. The catch? Gracie will have to be escorted by Sam Yao, the other half of Chinese cinema's infamous golden couple. Problem is, Sam is the most attractive—and infuriating—man Gracie's ever met.
But if it means getting the money she needs for her mother, Gracie's in. Soon Gracie moves into a world of luxury she never knew existed. But resisting her attraction to Sam, and playing the role of an elegant movie star, proves more difficult than she ever imagined—especially when she learns the real reason Fangli so desperately needs to step out of the spotlight. In the end all the effort in the world won't be able to help Gracie keep up this elaborate ruse without losing herself...and her heart.
Readers will delight in this glamourous, swoon worthy enemies-to-lovers romance that is as hilarious as it is heart-wrenching.

About the book
"An edge-of-your-seat tale of suspense paired with a heart-stopping romance . . . Love blooms amid the gritty realism of Sidney Bell's harrowing plot." —Sarina Bowen, USA Today–bestselling author
Released after five years in the system for assault, streetwise Edgar-Allen Church is ready to leave the past behind and finally look to his future. In need of a place to crash, he's leaning on Miller Quinn. A patient, solidly masculine pillar of strength and support, Miller has always been there for him—except in the one way Church has wanted the most.
With his staunchly conservative upbringing, Miller has been playing it straight his whole life. Now with Church so close again, it's getting harder to keep his denial intact. As they fumble their way back to friendship after so many years apart, Miller struggles to find the courage to accept who he really is. What he has with Church could be more than desire—it could be love. But it could also mean trouble.
Church's criminal connections are closing in on the both of them, and more than their hearts are at risk. This time, their very lives are on the line.
Don't miss the next titles in Sidney Bell's male/male romance series: Hard Line and Rough Trade.

About the book
Crown Prince Phillip of Elsinore is nothing if not practical. With his father’s health failing, the royal family expects him to find a suitable wife. So he does what any spreadsheet-loving heir would do—builds a rubric.
His top match? A charming woman running a small-town Italian café. Alessia checks every box, so Phillip sneaks away to propose like it’s a business transaction.
Unfortunately, feelings aren’t quantifiable.
Alessia is unimpressed by his credentials and even less enchanted by his proposal. But Phillip isn’t giving up. Especially now that his heart has gone completely off script.
Winning her over might cost him the crown, but logic has officially left the building. And when love throws a royal curveball, not even a rubric can fix it.

What started as superstition is turning into something real. And when Dalton makes his boldest proposal yet, Joy has to decide if she’s ready to play for keeps.

She was born into power. He was born to steal it.
Midnight has always known danger. As the mafia princess of a ruthless dynasty, trust is a luxury she can’t afford. Especially not with the man who once protected her, and now holds her captive.

But tangled loyalties and scorching desire blur the line between vengeance and obsession. Midnight isn’t the innocent pawn he remembers. And Cato? He’s far more than just a threat.
In this underworld of shadows and legacy, one truth remains: only the most ruthless can survive.
