About the book
Dive into a world where magic lies hidden just below the surface in this charming urban fantasy full of workplace found family, queer romance, and supernatural creatures straight out of Southeast Asian lore, from debut author Jared Poon.
In the sunny city of Singapore, the government takes care of everything—even the weird stuff.
Benjamin Toh is a middle manager in the Division for Engagement of Unusual Stakeholders (DEUS), and his job is straightforward: keep the supernatural inhabitants of Singapore happy and keep them out of sight. That is, don’t bother the good, normal citizens, and certainly don’t bother the bosses. Sure, he's overworked and understaffed, but usually, people (and senior management) don’t see what they don’t want to see.
But when an entire housing estate glitches out of existence on what was meant to be a routine check-in, Ben has to scramble to keep things under control and stop the rest of the city from disappearing. He may not have the budget or the bandwidth, but he has the best—if highly irregular and supernaturally inclined—team to help him. Together, they’ll traverse secret shadow markets, scale skyscrapers, and maybe even go to the stars, all so they can just do their goddamn job.

About the book
I fled my hometown seven years ago. I never planned to come back. I never planned to give up my city life for a small town. And I definitely never planned to fall for another man.
Henry
Tripp Lake, the place I love the most. Working at a cat café on Main Street gives me a chance to get some deserving cats their forever homes.
But when a blast from the past walks into my café, I’m not sure what to feel. Alex was always hot and popular in high school – and straight.
So it’s a shock when he keeps accepting my invitations to hang out. I don’t think I’m imagining the spark between us, but is Alex actually interested in me, or am I letting this straight boy break my heart?
Alex
Tripp Lake, the place I hate the most. I’m only here because of my father’s heart attack. But the second I return home, I remember all the reasons I ran away.
My parents are overbearing. This town is small and boring. And I want nothing more than to flee back to my new life in San Francisco - a life that doesn't come packed with any surprising new feelings about a guy I went to high school with.
Henry is a ray of sunshine amid this bleak journey home. But I've never been interested in a guy before. When a relaxing hike results in my first timid kiss with another man, I start questioning a lot more than just my decision to leave Tripp Lake. Is Henry worth staying in this crappy town for?
Stray Awakening is a small-town MM romance with first-time gay experiences, a sweet ray of sunshine winning over a jaded grumpy, spicy open-door scenes, and, of course, lots of cats. Go to linktr.ee/faraywrites for CWs.

LGBTQIA+ · Romantasy · Gay Romance
Our take
Despair and desire collide when Mio places his life in the hands of a stranger, only to find himself drawn into a cursed estate where death may not be the worst fate waiting for him.

Choose your retailer
About the book
Stop me. Please.
Three words scrawled in bloodred wine. A note furtively passed into the hand of a handsome stranger. Only death can free Mio from his mother’s political schemes. He’s put his trust in the enigmatic Rhodry—an immortal moon soul with the power of the bear spirit—to put an end to it all.
But Rhodry cannot bring himself to kill Mio, whose spellbinding voice has the power to expose secrets from the darkest recesses of the heart and mind. Nor can he deny his attraction to the fair young sorcerer. So he spirits Mio away to his home, the only place he can keep him safe—if the curse that besieges the estate doesn’t destroy them both first.
In a world teeming with mages, ghosts and dark secrets, love blooms between the unlikely pair. But if they are to be strong enough to overcome the evil that draws ever nearer, Mio and Rhodry must first accept a happiness neither ever expected to find.

About the book
Kian Walker has always been the golden boy of motorsport. The four-time Championship winner has racing in his DNA – his father was a legend on the track, just don’t let him catch you comparing the two. As reckless and unreliable at home as he was behind the wheel, there’s nothing Kian wants less than to be just like his dad.
Enter Harper James. This year’s rookie called up to compete with the big boys – and Kian’s new teammate. Cocky, hot-headed and with a reputation for breaking as many hearts as he does new track records, Harper’s the opposite of Kian in every way. But when the season starts, there’s no getting away from him.
This might be one of the most dangerous sports in the world, so why then does Kian’s heart feel safer flying around the track at 220mph than when he's anywhere near his teammate?

About the book
When a fall from the mast leaves Alba Marsh unable to sail, he finally has the chance to run away from his family debts in search of a better life. He hopes to reunite with his mother, Edythe, where they always promised to meet if things went awry, but finding the small, secluded, secretive town of Moon Harbor proves a greater challenge than Alba ever expected. Worse, upon arriving, no one seems to know anyone by the name Edythe Marsh at all.
Taking a job as the local lighthouse keeper while waiting for her to come, Alba attempts to find peace in his stolen freedom--but the sea has other plans. First come the shadows, then the voices, then watery trails left on the floor while he sleeps. He's inundated with erotic dreams of sirens calling out to him, and distant singing haunts his waking hours, all while the townspeople claim to hear nothing.
After a debtor catches up with him and he's forced to dispose of their body in the harbor, Alba is interrupted by Eridanys, the last merrow of Moon Harbor, who curses him from leaving until he can find out what happened to the other merrow that once filled those waters. Eridanys' demands, both mental and physical, are exhausting and endless--but as their relationship deepens, and Moon Harbor’s long-kept secrets are butterflied open to see, it becomes clear they may both be prey to the town in ways neither of them ever anticipated.

Accidental Bond
LGBTQIA+ · Gay Romance · Paranormal Romance
Our take
Chaos follows him everywhere, but one disastrous mistake turns a reckless thief’s life into something far more dangerous and intimate. In Accidental Bond, a dragon shifter with a talent for bad decisions finds himself bound to a demon after a contract goes wrong in the worst possible way.

About the book
I’ve made a lot of mistakes in my life, but accidentally becoming a mercenary for a demon might be the biggest one yet…
My inner dragon has always been more like a devil on my shoulder, talking me into making bad decisions and creating chaos. I have a hoard full of demon artifacts, each one likely to cost me my life if the owners ever come after me.
I thought accidentally becoming a mercenary was the worst mistake I would make in a single day… until I inadvertently mated myself to a demon. It’s not my fault his mating ring was so pretty!
It’ll be fine… all I have to do is fulfill my contract, not do anything else to make things worse, and avoid falling for the surprisingly sweet, himbo demon who thinks I’m his mate. Should be easy… right?

Out Of A Fix
LGBTQIA+ · Romance · Contemporary Romance · Gay Romance
Our take
A man who has spent his life fixing other people’s problems begins to want something he never believed he could keep. In Out Of A Fix, Nash Miller steps in to protect a struggling family and finds himself drawn not only to their wounded stability but to the father waiting at the center of it. A warm, emotional romance built on caretaking, trust, and the hope of lasting love.
Choose your retailer
About the book
If you put a family back together, how can you ever leave them?
Through the years, Nash Miller has watched all his buddies fall in love and get married. It was romantic, and he’d wondered when he himself would find the one. Now, older, wiser, he realizes that what he’s always wanted—a husband and a family—just isn’t in the cards for him. And that’s all right. He has wonderful friends, a good life, and he gets to help people, which has always been his true calling. So when the time comes to protect a family in a tiny town in Washington State, he’s more than willing to get on his white horse and ride.
The family needs a bodyguard, but it goes beyond that. The mother abandoned them for a new life, and the father is absent, stuck on a work project he took on to keep his family afloat. What Nash finds are three kids in need of a fixer, and lucky for them, that’s exactly what he does. Providing support and structure is second nature to him, and he’s on solid ground, confident…until their father, Luke Duchesne, gets home. He’s nothing like Nash assumed he’d be, and with each passing day, the lure of the man, and his great kids, gets harder to resist. But he can’t stay there. He’s a fixer, after all, and what they’re all feeling is simply gratitude. Isn’t it…? Though when Luke kisses him, it starts to feel like so much more. Nash hopes he’ll be able to explore a life with Luke—he just needs to make sure his own isn’t cut short.

Desire hits hardest when it unsettles everything a person thought they understood about themselves.
Off Balance
LGBTQIA+ · Romance · Erotica · Gay Romance · Sports Romance
Our take
Desire hits hardest when it unsettles everything a person thought they understood about themselves. In Off Balance, a boxer fighting for a comeback and a younger ballet dancer pulled thin by pressure and control find unexpected comfort in each other, even as the connection between them turns impossible to ignore.

About the book
Younger. Forbidden. Distracting. Male. And on cusp of the comeback fight of a lifetime, Domenick Conner can’t get Cameron Stevens out of his head.
A decade after a brutal head injury took him out of a successful career in boxing, Domenick Connor moves home to train with his brother for a very public comeback. When Cameron Stevens dances into his life, Dom doesn’t understand the intense and undeniable pull to the much younger man. The desire knocks him off kilter and throws everything he’s ever known about himself into question. But that doesn’t stop Dom from watching, coveting, craving him…
Cameron Stevens is a perfectionist, fiercely dedicated to his craft, and already overwhelmed with the pressures of pleasing his overbearing boyfriend and boss. But when his new stepfather asks him to teach his brother ballet to help with balance and footwork for an upcoming boxing match, he can’t help but agree. The gruff boxer comforts and encourages him in a way that he’s never experienced before, and it draws him in like a moth to a flame.
As the unlikely pair navigate their intense chemistry, Cameron and Dom must decide whether to continue fighting the attraction between them, or fight for love instead.

Season’s Change
LGBTQIA+ · Romance · Gay Romance · Sports Romance
Our take
Closeness becomes its own kind of pressure when attraction keeps getting tangled with fear and restraint. In Season’s Change, a veteran player trying to rebuild his career is forced into constant proximity with the upbeat rookie roommate he cannot stop wanting. This hockey romance pairs grumpy-sunshine chemistry with emotional vulnerability, slow-burn tension, and a relationship that asks both men to rethink what comes next.

About the book
"This is hockey romance for hockey fans." --Rachel Reid, author of the Game Changers series
A veteran hockey player and a rookie can't get away from each other—or their own desires—in this sexy, heartfelt opposites-attract hockey romance.
Olly Järvinen has a long way to go. He’s got a fresh start playing for a new team, but getting his hockey career back on track is going to take more than a change of scenery. He’s got to shut his past out and focus. On the game, not on his rookie roommate and his annoyingly sunny disposition—and annoyingly distracting good looks.
All Benji Bryzinski ever wanted was to play in the big leagues, and he’s not going to waste one single second of his rookie season. Yoga, kale smoothies and guided meditation help keep his head in the game. But his roommate keeps knocking him off track. Maybe it’s just that Olly is a grumpy bastard. Or maybe it’s something else, something Benji doesn’t have a name for yet.
Olly and Benji spend all their time together—on the ice, in the locker room, in their apartment—and ignoring their unspoken feelings isn’t making them go away. Acting on attraction is one thing, but turning a season’s fling into forever would mean facing the past—and redefining the future.

About the book
Two rivals. One law internship. A whole lot of objectionable activity.
It wasn’t always this way between us.
We were best friends growing up.
Competitive? Yeah.
Ruthless? Definitely.
Neither of us liked to lose.
But the intense chemistry?
That’s new.
The hatred in his eyes?
That’s new, too.
I should let it go.
There’s too much bad blood between our families. Between us.
But I can’t.
I don’t think he can, either.
Now we’re gunning for the same internship.
If he thinks I’ll back down, he’s dead wrong.
Once upon a time, I lost everything.
I won’t let it happen again.
Go ahead. Try me.

About the book
A flooded town in medieval Holland holds riches for an unusual trio in this darkly humorous adventure by the author of The Enterprise of Death.
"Every page is saturated with wickedness and mischief. Bullington's fans will be happy to see him bring his trademark dark humor, gritty detail, and loopy characters into a new gruesome landscape." —Publishers Weekly
On a stormy night in 1421, the North Sea delivers a devastating blow to Holland: the Saint Elizabeth Flood, a deluge of biblical proportions that drowns hundreds of towns, thousands of people, and forever alters the geography of the Low Countries. Where the factions of the noble Hooks and the merchant Cods waged a literal class war but weeks before, there is now only a nigh-endless expanse of grey water, a desolate inland sea with moldering church spires jutting up like sunken tombstones. For a land already beleaguered by generations of civil war, a worse disaster could scarce be imagined.
Yet even disaster can be profitable, for the right sort of individual, and into this flooded realm sail three conspirators: a deranged thug at the edge of madness, a ruthless conman on the cusp of fortune, and a half-feral girl balanced between them.
With The Folly of the World, Jesse Bullington has woven an extraordinary new tale of the depraved and the desperate.
"Smart, funny, and full of wild exuberance." ―Lauren Beukes
"The Folly of the World is . . . weaved with masterful wordplay and dark humor. Bullington has perfected his voice in this novel. . . . He was scary good before, and he just keeps getting better." —Fantasy Literature
"[An] absorbing cross—genre piece. . . . This dark and memorable novel, complete with its dark and memorable characters, is among the more distinctive and classifiable reads around." —The Bookbag

Our take
Irritation starts to feel dangerous when it gives way to something harder to deny. In Fair Catch, a guarded college student takes in an infuriating football player as a roommate, expecting chaos and counting the days until he can reclaim his space. Instead, their uneasy truce deepens into closeness, forcing him to choose between the future he planned and a connection that could change everything. This new adult sports romance blends class tension, reluctant intimacy, and emotional risk.

About the book
Catching feelings was never part of the plan.
Taking in Kason Fuller as roommate is meant to be a favor; one I regret immediately.
The bumbling, virgin football player drives me to the brink of sanity, stealing my food, my sleep, my peace and solitude.
My solution? Call a ceasefire.
Get him out on dates and out of my hair.
Yet as our truce shifts, I realize there’s a depth to this connection unlike any I’ve felt before.
It turns out, I don’t mind his presence.
I crave it, along with every morsel I learn about him.
But falling for the guy from the wrong side of the tracks wasn’t in the cards.
And I’m not the only one who thinks so.
Now, I’m at a crossroads between the life I thought I’d have, or risking everything to catch him.
*Fair Catch is the third in a five book standalone college sports romance series featuring one extremely *frustrated* virgin, flirtatious roomie dates, and a not-so-sanitary use of butter that will have you clutching your pearls. Not suitable for anyone under 18 years of age.*
