About the book
Tampa Sentinels Captain Hayes Montgomery has hero-worshipped Morgan Reynolds his entire career, watching as the larger-than-life hockey star has racked up stats that always seemed unreal. Unattainable. Unreachable.
Until Hayes himself is labeled “the next one” and to his surprise, he and Morgan end up on the same team together, playing for Team USA in a nation versus nation tournament.
Now Hayes’ hero isn’t just his teammate, but his linemate. They’re hot on the ice, and despite Morgan’s straight reputation, off it too.
It’s only ten days, but it’s the best ten days of his life. That shouldn’t be long enough for a hockey crush to morph into a real crush, but Hayes falls head over heels, launch-himself-off-a-cliff, wildly in love with Morgan, anyway.
They don’t play on the same team or even on the same coast. Normally, they’re never in the same zip code, but that doesn’t change Hayes’ feelings—or his regret when the fling ends.
Fast forward six years. Morgan’s retired, Hayes is writing his own name in the record books, and he’s sure he’s over it. Over him.
But then Morgan arrives in Tampa to watch his rookie son play for the Sentinels.
He doesn’t want to be hung up on his teammate’s dad, but it doesn’t matter how long it’s been or what he’s tried. Morgan still makes Hayes’ knees weak.
And when it turns out Morgan has his own Hayes’ shaped regret?
Maybe they can finally find their way back to each other again.

About the book
From the author of Prince of Air and Darkness comes the first in a thrilling new paranormal series.
Everything has a price. Especially the truth.
Former Marine Atlas Kinkaid knows not to ask questions about the clients he protects at the behest of the elite Whitethorn security agency. Just like he doesn’t like anyone asking about his scars—scars left by a mysterious attack that haunts his every waking moment.
Consumed by the need to find out what happened to him, Atlas takes a job providing security to Cristian Slava, the indolent—and gorgeous—son of a notorious businessman. Cristian seems to be just another entitled client, but when nights at the club turn into secret meetings and people start going missing, Atlas realizes there’s more to Cristian—and to protecting him—than meets the eye.
But the same people who are after Cristian have something Atlas desperately craves: they know exactly what happened the fateful night he was attacked—and are willing to tell him everything…
For a price.

Choose your retailer
About the book
Don’t miss this thrilling and suspenseful second chance romance, book one in a fan-favorite supernatural detective series from Jenn Burke.
Dying isn’t what it used to be.Wes Cooper was dead. Then he wasn’t—though he’s not exactly alive, either. As an immortal not-ghost, he can transition between this world and the otherplane, which makes him the perfect thief for hire. For seventy years he’s made a “living” returning items to their rightful owners, seeing his fair share of the bizarre in the process. But he’s never witnessed murder. Until now.
His latest mission brings him more than he bargained for: a very-dead actor who is definitely going to stay that way. It’s just Wes’s luck that his ex-boyfriend, Detective Hudson Rojas, is assigned to the case. Hudson broke Wes’s heart years ago—and could again, given he’s rocking a hot silver-fox look that shouldn’t be legal.
As they work together to track down the murderer before anyone else gets hurt, it becomes clear Wes and Hudson have unfinished business. And when a secret Hudson’s been keeping threatens more than just their happiness, it might mean the end of their not-life together—permanently.

10 Ways to Accidentally Fall in Love
LGBTQIA+ · Romance · Bisexual Romance · Gay Romance · RomCom
Our take
Some rules about love unravel the moment they are tested. In 10 Ways to Accidentally Fall in Love, Brad agrees to play wingman for his new gym friend Joey, only to find that every staged date draws them closer instead. As friendship blurs into something deeper, this contemporary romantic comedy explores identity, vulnerability, and the risk of admitting what the heart already knows.

About the book
Wingman 101: Make him fall head over heels in love.
Brad
What’s a straight guy to do when he accidentally goes on a date with his brand new gym-bro? Offer to be the best wingman ever, of course! It’s foolproof.
Joey needs a man? I’ll find him one.
He wants someone who looks, well, kind of like me? No problem!
Not into watersports? I’ve got him covered.
The issue is, going on all these dates with Joey makes me realize I want more of his time to be spent with me. I like the guy. And his smile. And the way he makes me feel like anything is possible.
Except… I can’t possibly be who Joey needs. He wants his forever person. His great big love.
And no matter how perfect the dude’s abs are or how skilled he is as a cuddle-bro, the two of us will never be more than friends. Because I’m straight.
Right?
10 Ways to Accidentally Fall in Love is a lighthearted romantic comedy with disastrous dates, more innuendo than is probably healthy, an oblivious sweetheart, the gym-dude who falls for him swiftly, and a HEA loaded with firsts. It has characters who originally appeared in Himbo (Elite 8 Studios Book 4) but is set as a standalone.

About the book
"Picture me madly in love with this moving, tender, unapologetically honest book." — Becky Albertalli, #1 best-selling author of Simon Vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda
Danny Cheng has always known his parents have secrets. But when he discovers a taped-up box in his father's closet filled with old letters and a file on a powerful Bay Area family, he realizes there's much more to his family's past than he ever imagined.
Danny has been an artist for as long as he can remember and it seems his path is set, with a scholarship to RISD and his family's blessing to pursue the career he's always dreamed of. Still, contemplating a future without his best friend, Harry Wong, by his side makes Danny feel a panic he can barely put into words. Harry's and Danny's lives are deeply intertwined and as they approach the one-year anniversary of a tragedy that shook their friend group to its core, Danny can't stop asking himself if Harry is truly in love with his girlfriend, Regina Chan.
When Danny digs deeper into his parents' past, he uncovers a secret that disturbs the foundations of his family history and the carefully constructed facade his parents have maintained begins to crumble. With everything he loves in danger of being stripped away, Danny must face the ghosts of the past in order to build a future that belongs to him in this complex, lyrical novel.

See You at the Finish Line
LGBTQIA+ · Romance · Bisexual Romance · Gay Romance · Sports Romance
Our take
Academic pressure and athletic rivalry collide when two rowing teammates who cannot stand each other strike a risky deal. In See You at the Finish Line, George needs help to pass his exams, and Lucas wants lessons in confidence to win over his crush. This queer sports rom-com blends enemies-to-lovers tension, forced proximity, and sharp campus competition with emotional vulnerability.
Choose your retailer
About the book
“Filled to the brim with smart wit and delicious tension, See You at the Finish Line is a must read!” —Hannah Bonam-Young, USA Today bestselling author of Out on a Limb
“If you thought the only thing Red, White and Royal Blue was missing was some strenuous activity, Zac Hammett’s delicious debut is your new favorite romance.” —Justinian Huang, author of Lucky Seed
Heartthrob George wants to prove he's smart enough to graduate. Nerdy Lucas wants to finally ask his crush out. They strike a deal to get what they want . . . but they may accidentally splash into a row-mance together in this queer, sports rom-com, perfect for fans of Heated Rivalry.
George and Lucas can’t stand each other—which makes it very awkward being on the same Cambridge University rowing team. The uber-charming, all-American George got accepted at Cambridge for his sporting prowess, not his subpar grades. Economics whizz and sarcasm expert Lucas, meanwhile, works hard for everything he’s got, which sadly does not include a boyfriend.
When the news leaks that George receives academic preferential treatment—Cambridge couldn’t lose their star athlete, after all—he’s told he must actually study this year to pass his exams. That’s when he zeroes in on Lucas for help. Lucas agrees, but on one condition: George will teach Lucas his lothario ways so he can finally seduce his long-time crush, Amir.
But soon they're in way over their heads, seducing and cheating their way to what they want. As they face rivals within their own squad and cutthroat competitors at Oxford, they find themselves unexpectedly becoming closer. What happens when your worst enemy may just be who you needed all along?

About the book
ZANE
Is it wrong that I watch him?
Leif Anderson seems like a friendly, kind, normal, boy-next-door type.
Unlike me.
His stalker, a creep who moved into the place next to his parents' house to keep an eye on him.
I'm not the bad guy, though.
I'm the one who will protect him.
The cops don't believe he's in danger.
Maybe they're right, and this is all in my messed-up head.
I've been wrong before.
And no matter how I justify this to myself, my motives aren't entirely pure.
It's impossible to watch a guy this hot walking around in those adorable beanies without getting a little turned on.
When he discovers my secret surveillance, I'm sure it's over.
No way he believes my reasons for watching him, but he doesn't report me for my crime.
He's curious about me in a way I don't expect from a straight guy.
Or as I quickly learn, maybe not so straight.
Before I know it, we're on a journey, exploring this wild, exciting part of Leif while I try to keep him safe from harm.
But the closer we get to one another, the more I wonder: what if it was all in my head?
What if no one's coming for him?
What if the real threat to Leif is me, the guy next door?

A simple act of desperation opens the door to temptation when magic answers a little too literally.
Summoning Mr. Wrong (Or Maybe Right)
LGBTQIA+ · Gay Romance · Paranormal Romance
Our take
A simple act of desperation opens the door to temptation when magic answers a little too literally.

This MM fantasy romance pairs supernatural hijinks with slow-burning attraction, exploring intimacy, consent, and emotional vulnerability beneath playful chaos.
Choose your retailer
About the book
A broke college grad with bad luck. A demon who refuses to leave my couch.
I was just trying to manifest some abundance. Light a candle, chant a little, maybe get lucky with rent money.
Instead, I woke up to six feet of smug, tattooed demon lounging in my living room, eating my cereal and mocking my life choices.
Apparently, I signed some kind of contract, and now he can’t leave until he fulfills a “favor.” Which, so far, has meant reorganizing my kitchen, sabotaging my dating apps, and making suggestive comments every time I so much as look at him.
Asmodeus is arrogant, ridiculously hot, and way too domestic for someone who claims to be an ancient being of darkness. And the longer he sticks around, the more suspicious I get.
Because his idea of a “favor” doesn’t look like torment at all. It looks a lot like trying to win my heart.

Pretty Pretty Boys
LGBTQIA+ · Mystery · Gay Romance · Police Procedural
Our take
Coming home means facing the past Hazard tried to leave behind, including the man who once made survival feel impossible. In Pretty Pretty Boys, a burned body pulls Hazard and Somerset into a murder case tangled with local politics, old cruelty, and buried grief. This mystery pairs procedural tension with emotionally charged partnership dynamics, where every clue pushes closer to violence, betrayal, and unfinished history.
Choose your retailer
About the book
After Emery Hazard loses his job as a detective in Saint Louis, he heads back to his hometown--and to the local police force there. Home, though, brings no happy memories, and the ghosts of old pain are very much alive in Wahredua. Hazard’s new partner, John-Henry Somerset, had been one of the worst tormentors, and Hazard still wonders what Somerset’s role was in the death of Jeff Langham, Hazard’s first boyfriend.
When a severely burned body is discovered, Hazard finds himself drawn deeper into the case than he expects. Determining the identity of the dead man proves impossible, and solving the murder grows more and more unlikely. But as the city’s only gay police officer, Hazard is placed at the center of a growing battle between powerful political forces. To his surprise, Hazard finds an unlikely ally in his partner, the former bully. And as they spend more time together, something starts to happen between them, something that Hazard can’t--and doesn’t want--to explain.
The discovery of a second mutilated corpse, though, reveals clues that the two murders are linked, and as Hazard gets closer to answers, he uncovers a conspiracy of murder and betrayal that goes deeper--and closer to home--than he could ever expect.
