This is Not a Vampire Story by Simon Doyle

This is Not a Vampire Story by Simon Doyle

Seventeen-year-old Victor Callahan holds a secret as ancient as the shadows.

Employed as a night porter in a quiet Irish nursing home, the teenager watches over a group of men he once knew a long time ago. Victor has orchestrated their reunion for a final farewell, a goodbye to those whose lives have shaped him through the years.

But can he keep his secret from Lakeshore Manor’s oldest resident, James O’Carroll?

As he cares for these remnants of his past, memories of a bygone era haunt him — of wild adventures on the rugged Irish coast, of forbidden love hidden beneath the threat of eternal night, and of a shipwreck that changes everything…

Gloria Pinto, the night nurse, doesn’t like him. But maybe she has her own secrets.

This story weaves a tale of timeless bonds, the cost of immortality, and the lengths we go to for love. But is love more important than life? Victor is about to find out.

Pucking Strong by Emily Rath

Pucking Strong by Emily Rath

Oh god, I’ve got to get over this crush! I’m a doctor now, a respected professional. And Henrik doesn’t even know I exist. So you tell me why I’m risking everything to follow this man halfway around the world!

 

After receiving news of his sister’s tragic death, Henrik must fly to Sweden to retrieve his injured, grieving young niece. But with a new hockey season about to start, Henrik can’t possibly care for her alone. In fact, the Swedish government won’t let him. He needs me. They both do. I’d be heartless not to help—right?

 

Well, that’s what I told myself last week as I signed our Swedish marriage license. It’s what I told myself yesterday as I moved into his apartment. And it’s what I’m telling myself now as the Rays PR Director stares us down. They want this marriage to look real. The team’s public image, our jobs, and Henrik’s custody agreement all depend on it.

 

But my problem isn’t that I don’t love my fake husband. God help me, my problem is that I do.

Pretty Mess by Lily Morton

Pretty Mess by Lily Morton

The first time Wes Archer steps into Jack of Clubs, an exclusive London pleasure club, he’s completely confident he can heed the tried-and-true advice about becoming an escort. Wes gives himself away for free with casual hookups all the time. Why not make some cash doing what he already loves? And cash is something he desperately needs. His brother’s gambling addiction has taken their family’s home, saddled Wes with insurmountable debts, and compromised his chances for finishing his degree.

Accepting an offer to spend a few hours of fun with a rich bloke will be a simple business transaction, right? Wrong.

Wes’s first client is Cormac Reilly. The handsome billionaire is grumpy, funny, and commanding in a way that unlocks desires Wes never knew he had. Cormac is icily determined to keep their arrangement strictly business, but that doesn’t stop Wes from finding him fascinating.

As their one-night contract becomes something much more, Wes can’t deny he’s falling for his client. He knows he’s flouting all the rules, but breaking down Cormac’s barriers is an irresistible challenge, and his reward might be the best prize of all — love.

Rescuing Dr. Marian by Lucy Lennox

Rescuing Dr. Marian by Lucy Lennox

As sheriff, I’m the guy people call for help. But when my solo Hawaii trip gets hijacked by my clingy ex, suddenly I’m the one who needs saving.

My unlikely rescuer? A gorgeous stranger who plants one breathtaking, reckless kiss on me in the middle of a crowded bar—sending my ex packing… and stealing my carefully guarded heart.

Tommy Marian kissed me like he knew me. Like he wanted me. Like I was his. Like he was mine. But he’s not. He’s a straight, ambitious city doctor—here in paradise for his own damn wedding. And I’m going home alone, as usual.

Six months later, I land a dream search and rescue gig in Legacy, Montana. One summer. A break from my coupled-up friends. Zero distractions. Except guess who’s freshly single… and bunking in my tiny cabin? The biggest distraction of my life.

Tommy Marian is still beautiful, still infuriating, and still everything I can’t want. He says what happens in Legacy stays in Legacy. I say I’m not even tempted. At least one of us is lying.

Because when Tommy disappears on the mountain, I realize I’d burn the world to get him back… And maybe this time, I won’t let him go.

Did It Have To Be Gnomes?! By Michele Notaro

Did It Have To Be Gnomes?! By Michele Notaro

Am I afraid of gnomes? Maaaaaaaybe.

Did I take on a huge gnome job anyway? I sure did. Am I about to ask my crush for help? Well, I have to ask someone, right?

I get called out to a huge mansion with the biggest number of invading gnomes I’ve ever seen, and I’m not sure who to call to help. And I definitely need some help.

So when Winter Montgomery just so happens to stop by, I know I have to ask him. I’ve been crushing on the handsome guy from afar for years, so now’s my chance to get close—and get some much needed support.

As long as I don’t let him see just how much I hate gnomes—okay, I’m actually terrified of them, but he doesn’t need to know that… right?

Grave Situation by Louisa Masters

Grave Situation by Louisa Masters

He’s not the hero they deserve, but he’s the hero they’ve got.

No, seriously. Talon wants to know what he did to deserve this. What would make a sentient rock decide that he of all people should be the one to save the world from zombies? That’s right. Zombies. Because apparently a higher power decided that teaching magic to teenagers wasn’t enough of a challenge.

With a ridiculously attractive healer (who may or may not hate him), his sister (who he miiiight have a forbidden telepathic link with), a sentient god-like rock (that can only communicate via yes/no vibes), a disdainful dragon, and a rude matchmaking horse by his side, he just might be able to save the world.

Or die trying.

Meet Talon Silverbright. He'll save the world, but only because a rock said he has to.

The Entanglement of Rival Wizards by Sara Raasch

The Entanglement of Rival Wizards by Sara Raasch

Will they conjure love, or evoke chaos? Two rival wizards are about to find out.

 

Sebastian Walsh: Evocation Department. Human. The first of his family to pick college over the military.

 

Elethior Tourael: Conjuration Department. Half-elf. Pretentious asshole. The latest legacy Tourael at Lesiara U.

 

Both: Mageus Research Grant finalists.

 

Sebastian refuses to let anyone snatch this away, least of all a snob riding on old money. But what’s worse than a nemesis stealing your grant? You could both get it. Under the condition you work together.

 

Sebastian is in hell. Thio’s broody. Takes up their shared lab space with his projects... and biceps. Brings treats for Sebastian’s familiar...

 

...and is nothing like Sebastian thought.

 

When Sebastian’s past with the Touraels forces him to choose his research or Thio, the decision should be simple. But while working with his rival is volatile... falling for his rival might blow up Sebastian’s future.

Played by Sadie Kincaid

Played by Sadie Kincaid

No strings. No commitments. Absolutely no catching feelings. Three rules for dating—and life—that have served me well. Until now. Because there’s a rat at Jamestech, and my brother is convinced he knows the perfect person to sniff them out. Some guy they call the hotshot who he knew back in Chicago. Sounds good, right? And I’m fully onboard with protecting my family’s company.

 

That is until I walk into work one morning and I’m confronted with King Worthington. Of course it’s him—who better to catch a rat than a snake!

 

I haven’t seen him for eighteen years, yet he somehow still looks exactly the same—the cruel piece of garbage that eviscerated my heart. But his killer smile and charm won’t work on me this time. He might hide who he is, but I know exactly who I am. I am Mason James, and he doesn’t get to get anywhere near close to me.

 

So why do I want to let him in? Why do I want to believe his apologies and lean into whatever this intense attraction is between us? King and I both have our secrets, and even if we can let go of our past hurts, maybe they’re the kind of secrets there’s no coming back from.

 

But every brush of his lips, every single touch of his skin, sets mine on fire. They call me the player, but I can’t help thinking I’m about to be played.

Wooing The Wiccan by Louisa Masters

Wooing The Wiccan by Louisa Masters

I’m surrounded by two hundred thousand elves, yet somehow, I’m still lonely.

After a rough few millennia, the past decade has finally brought us peace and security—and justified my choices as our leader. But as chaos gives way to calm, I have more time for myself… yet it’s not what I want it to be. I’ve been alone for a long time, but before my people and work needed me more. Now the lonely hours stretch into eternity.

Until I meet Jared.

He’s my perfect match in every way; a teacher, a gardener, a cat dad. He loves books, nature, and interacting with others. He’s sweet, funny, kind, and we’re fire in the bedroom. The only hiccup? He’s human, and he doesn’t know other species exist.

Legally, we haven’t been together long enough for me to tell him I’m not human, and it’s getting harder and harder to keep this secret. To keep part of myself from him… to lie. But what if he learns the truth—a truth that will shatter the core of his beliefs—and can’t handle it?

What if he can’t forgive the lies?

Bittersweet Revenge by Riley Hart

Bittersweet Revenge by Riley Hart

I’ve been stalking Tiernan O’Shea online for years. 

 

After Sloan O’Shea killed my dad, my mom and I spent years in hiding, moving from state to state, changing our names, never drawing attention to ourselves, hoping to never be found.

I’ve fed off nothing but vengeance ever since. Tiernan O’Shea is exactly like his father—arrogant, rich, ruthless.

The plan is simple: Get accepted to Ashford U. Get close to Tiernan. Get him to trust me. And then, when he brings me home to his father, I’ll take my revenge on Sloan O’Shea.

What I don’t expect is discovering the secret side of Tiernan, the parts he doesn’t show the rest of the world. He’s as beautiful as he is brutal—deadly, yes, but he’s also the kind of man who would do anything for those he loves. We’re alike in ways I never imagined. And when he touches me, kisses me…it makes me feel like I matter.

I’ve spent my whole life hoping to even the score, but now my revenge will be bittersweet because it’ll make me lose the only man I’ve ever loved.

Cloudy With a Chance of Bad Decisions by Fae Quin

Cloudy With a Chance of Bad Decisions by Fae Quin

What’s better than attending your ex’s wedding? A camping trip in the woods, complete with bugs, critters, and sharing a tent with the hottest—and most infuriating—man alive. It’s basically a full itinerary of terrible decisions…

George:
When I came home for the first time in years, I was expecting a peaceful week celebrating my ex’s upcoming nuptials, some quality time with my overly enthusiastic mom, and a much-needed break from the dumpster fire that my life has become. Instead, I’ve been tricked into sharing a tent with Alex—the human equivalent of a smug smirk—who somehow manages to be both infuriating and alarmingly attractive. He pushes every button I have, knows exactly how to get under my skin, and worst of all… I think I want him to. Which is great, because nothing says “relaxing vacation” like emotional whiplash and unresolved sexual tension in a nylon sweatbox.

Alex:
I keep things casual. It’s easier that way. Safer than letting someone in and finding out—once again—that I’m not enough, or worse, that I’m too much. But George? He’s messing with my game plan. He’s uptight, prickly, and has made it painfully clear that he doesn’t like me. But there’s something in the way his eyes spark when we argue, something in his laugh and those quiet moments when we’re not at each other’s throats, that draws me in. The more time we spend together, the harder it is to ignore the pull between us. It terrifies me—because I want him, badly—but I can’t let him see the mess I’ve been hiding behind these walls. Not now. Not ever.

Covenant by Cora Rose & Lark Taylor

Covenant by Cora Rose & Lark Taylor

The Firm can make any wish come true. Money. A job promotion. Murder. Whatever you desire can be yours—for a price. The Firm has ruled St. Dismas for generations. To most, they’re just a myth.


But in truth, they are the last resort of the desperate. I never understood why anyone would go to The Firm. There’s always a price to pay—a price you won’t discover until your request has been granted.
It was a path I swore I’d never walk. Or so I thought.

When my brother is gravely injured, everything changes. I have no choice but to go to The Firm. I don’t know what they’ll ask of me, but I’ll give anything to save Jackson. He has his whole life ahead of him, and I’ll make sure he gets to live it.

But when my price comes due, it’s nothing like I expected. Not drug smuggling or murder. Not the darkness I braced myself for. No, this is worse. My price is to fulfill someone else’s request. To give them what they asked for. A marriage.

For anyone else, it may seem simple. But not for me. Because the man I must marry is my worst enemy. My rival. The man I once trusted above all others—until he shattered that trust and threw it back in my face. The idea of pretending to be Matthias’s doting husband for a year is my worst nightmare.


But I won’t do it for me. I’ll do it for Jackson. For my brother, I’ll pay the price. Even if it means condemning myself.

Sweat by Jonah Yorke

Sweat by Jonah Yorke

Tommy
I should hate Rowan Hughes. He was a bully when we were kids, and now I find out he’s messed around with my girlfriend. But how can I hate the campus soccer star when he’s everything I’ve always wanted to be? With my reputation on the line, I can’t let Rowan get away with humiliating me in front of people I know—people we both go to school with. When he swears he didn’t know Annalese was my girlfriend, I actually believe him. When he says I’m good enough to play beside him, I want to believe that too. But when he insists he’s not gay, all I want is to prove him wrong.

Rowan
I made one dumb decision at a party, and now Tommy Mathison thinks I’m into his girl. He couldn’t be more wrong, but it’s not because I’m gay. It’s because I’m weak. Now I’ve got a beefed-up babyface’s knuckle prints bruising the side of my face, and I can’t get him out of my head. Tommy isn’t weak, and he may just be the missing piece my team needs to win a championship before I go pro. I don’t know why he quit soccer after high school, but getting him back on the field is easy. Keeping him close without losing control? That’s the real challenge.

The Revenge Game by Jax Calder

The Revenge Game by Jax Calder

Rule #1 of Revenge Club: Don't fall for your target

Andrew
I’ve come a long way since being the gawky, geeky, gay kid who was constantly picked on growing up. Having just sold my tech start-up for so much money it broke my phone calculator, I’m now at loose ends, wondering what to do next in my life. Then I run into Justin. Justin, the golden boy from high school. Justin, the popular jock who turned my life into a living hell for four years. And do you want to know the kicker? He doesn’t even recognize me. Even worse, it looks like karma hasn’t done its thing because Justin definitely hasn't been punished for his previous sins. Maybe my next mission in life is to give karma a helping hand…

Justin
My life looks perfect from the outside–good job, good friends, no worries. Only I know it is all based on a lie. I’ve never been honest with anyone about my sexuality. Then I meet the new IT guy at work who has just moved into my apartment building too. Given I seem to be having an extraordinary run of bad luck with technology at the moment—like having my email randomly decide to spam the entire company with images of trolls in intimate embraces—Drew’s been a lifesaver. And the more I get to know Drew, the more I want to confess my secret in the hope we can become something more. But I can’t help the niggling feeling Drew is hiding something from me…

When the Tides Held the Moon by Venessa Vida Kelley

When the Tides Held the Moon by Venessa Vida Kelley

Benigno “Benny” Caldera knows an orphaned Boricua blacksmith in 1910s New York City can’t call himself an artist. But the ironwork tank he creates for famed Coney Island playground, Luna Park, astounds everyone, especially the eccentric side-show proprietor who commissioned it. Benny’s work earns him an invitation to join the show’s eclectic crew of performers—his first welcome in the city—and share in their astonishing secret: the tank Benny built is a cage for their newest exhibit, a living, breathing, in-the-flesh merman stolen from the banks of the East River under a gleaming full moon.

The merman is more than a mythic marvel, though. Benny comes to know Río as a clever philosopher, an observant traveler, and a kindred spirit more beautiful and compassionate than any human he’s ever met. Despite their different worlds, what begins as a friendship of necessity deepens to love, leading Benny’s heart into uncharted waters where he can no longer ignore the agonizing truth of Río’s captivity—and his own.

A cage is no place for a merman to survive. Though releasing Río means betraying his new family, bankrupting their home, and losing his soulmate forever, Benny must look within for the courage to do what’s right, and find a love strong enough to free them both.

Kill Your Darlings by Josh Lanyon

Kill Your Darlings by Josh Lanyon

Nobody likes conferences, but they’re part of the job.

Millbrook House senior editor Keiran Chandler has spent years curating the best voices in crime lit, but when an unsolicited manuscript is handed to him at the Noir at the Shore mystery conference, truth collides with fiction. I Know What You Did is more than just another slush pile submission—it’s a direct threat.

U.N. Owen seems to know what really happened in Steeple Hill all those years ago. Who is Owen? How does he know these things? Clearly the mysterious author is after more than a book deal. But what?

With a potentially career-ending publishing merger on the horizon, the end of his affair with bestselling author and former homicide detective Finn Scott, and not so subtle threats from someone in his past, Keiran has a lot bigger problems than coming up with something witty to say on discussion panels.

The Haunting Between Us by Paul Michael Winters

Sixteen-year-old Cameron Walsh dreads the haunted Victorian mansion across the street, where the ghost of the White Lady roams the halls.

He hides the mysteries from his superstitious father, not wanting to uproot their lives.

When the White Lady becomes impossible to ignore, Hugo turns to Cameron to help uncover the house’s dark history. They soon form a bond that goes beyond friendship, but as their feelings deepen, the White Lady's wrath intensifies.

Bite Marks & Broken Hearts by T.J. Rose

Bite Marks & Broken Hearts by T.J. Rose

Flynn

I never asked for this. Okay, maybe a little. After all, the demon was undeniably hot–the perfect way to mend my broken heart. But I certainly didn’t sign up to become his prey–because now my chest burns with ice as dark magic grows inside me… and he’ll be back to collect it. Thankfully, I have a saviour. Tall, dark and handsome, though his vintage dress sense is slightly pretentious and his aversion to sunlight is a bit strange… But if he keeps looking at me like I'm something worth devouring, I might just let him. What's one more bad decision?

Sebastián

Five centuries has taught me three rules: stay detached, stay focused, and never, never feel too much.

I built Killigrew Street to control London's supernatural underbelly. We keep order in the shadows, we maintain the balance, and we absolutely do not rescue pretty Irish boys and lock them up in our hotel. Except, apparently, we do now. He's marked. He's stubborn. He has an infuriating habit of throwing himself headfirst into danger with zero self-preservation. And he’s my problem to solve. When my protective instincts quickly twist into feelings, I know I should walk away. But my cold, dead heart seems to have other ideas. For how long can I keep my true vampiric nature from him? In the meantime, at least watching him try to figure out why everyone keeps making bat jokes in front of me is… admittedly entertaining.

Wicked Games by Willow Dixon

Wicked Games by Willow Dixon

I hate obscure school rules. Especially the one that says siblings have to room together after a tragedy. Now I’m stuck sharing my dorm with my stepbrother, and I have no idea how either of us is going to make it to the end of the school year without offing the other.

Just as I’m getting used to having Felix around, someone else tries to off him, and now my cousins and I have to figure out who’s after him, and why. We might not like each other, but Felix is family, and that means he’s mine to protect.

Felix has always annoyed the hell out of me, but now he likes making me angry. And unlike most people, he isn’t afraid of me when I’m angry. There’s also something else between us. Something wild and addictive.

Something I’ve never felt before. I’ve always known there’s more to my buttoned-up stepbrother than meets the eye, but it isn’t until we start a game of gay chicken that I realize just how similar we are.

He should know better than to start a game he can’t win, but if that’s what he wants, then game f*cking on, bro.

The Allure of Ruins by Mary Calmes

The Allure of Ruins by Mary Calmes

Paxton Walsh has a comfortable life, which wasn’t always the case. But ever since he left his tumultuous life on the West Coast, trading it for a new beginning on the East Coast, things have settled. He can thank himself for the change, but also his boss and friend, Colton Gates.

 

Their relationship is…a bit too codependent and close for most people to understand, but it works perfectly for them. So what if thoughts can be conveyed with a glance? That doesn’t really mean anything. Or at least not what other people think.

But now a threat from Pax’s past is back, shattering that hard-won peace. With Pax in danger and needing protection, Colton immediately steps up and takes him in. Without distance, though, without retreating to separate homes, both men have to be honest about their feelings.

 

The truth is, Pax was hurt, body and soul, and if he reaches for Colton and finds they can’t be more, he’ll lose everything. If Colton does the same and it doesn’t work, he’ll lose Pax, his best friend and the person who knows him better than anyone. With both of them terrified of the what-ifs, it might be too hard to have faith and jump. If only they could both be brave.

The Boy I Love by William Hussey

The Boy I Love by William Hussey

All I think, all I feel, all I know is pressed into this moment. And what I know is that I can’t let him go.

1916. Returning to the Front after injury, nineteen-year-old Stephen wonders what he’s fighting for. Then he meets Private Danny McCormick, a smart, talented new recruit. From their first meeting, there’s something undeniable between them – something forbidden by both society and the army.

 

Determined to protect Danny, Stephen must face down the ignorance of his superiors as well as the onslaught of German shells and sniper fire. As the summer ticks down to the Battle of the Somme, will Stephen and Danny’s love save them – or condemn them?

This book contains slurs that we today recognise as insulting and unacceptable but which were commonly and casually used during the period. These words and phrases do not reflect the opinions of the author and publisher, but it is important in a historical work of fiction to reflect the reality of the world in which the story is set.

Betrothed to the Emperor by Kai Butler

Betrothed to the Emperor by Kai Butler

I was born to kill the emperor, but first, I must marry him.

I trained as an assassin while my twin sister trained to be the empress. My life will be forfeit once I murder the most powerful man on the continent, but I have no choice.

 

If I fail, the Imperium will consume our nation and anyone who rises against them.

Too soon, we walk into the glittering imperial court, each step taking us closer to the dangerous man on the black throne, my sister’s future husband, the newly crowned Emperor of the Southern Imperium.

 

Emperor Tallu has more spies than fish in the sea. He poisoned his own father to secure the golden crown.

When his sharp eyes skim over us, they don’t catch on my sister. They land on me, his killer.

Copper Script by K.J. Charles

Copper Script by K.J. Charles

Detective Sergeant Aaron Fowler of the Metropolitan Police doesn’t count himself a gullible man. When he encounters a graphologist who deduces people’s lives and personalities from their handwriting with impossible accuracy, he needs to find out how the trick is done.

 

Even if that involves spending more time with the intriguing, flirtatious Joel Wildsmith than feels quite safe.

Joel’s not an admirer of the police, but DS Fowler has the most irresistible handwriting he’s ever seen. If the policeman’s tests let him spend time unnerving the handsome copper, why not play along?

But when Joel looks at a powerful man's handwriting and sees a murderer, the policeman and the graphologist are plunged into deadly danger.

 

Their enemy will protect himself at any cost--unless the sparring pair can come together to prove his guilt and save each other.

Seeing Grayscale by Myka Loren

Seeing Grayscale by Myka Loren

What would you do for a glimpse of color?

I’ve been on the streets for four years, but my soul’s been homeless for longer. And I’ve accepted this is my reality. Still, I’m tired and dream of something better than this grim existence.

My life revolves around handouts and the obscurity of a gas station dumpster. Safety is an illusion, and I’ve learned not to fall for it. 

Until Hunter Kade. As the Governor’s son, Hunter oozes wealth and privilege and is insistent on helping me. In my current state, I’m in no position to refuse.

Our worlds don’t mix, and we should’ve never crossed paths. But we did, and I can’t help but wonder when he and his generosity will disappear.

I refuse to get attached because, as I know all too well, kindnesses don’t last, and people break their promises.

Hunter comes from color, and I’m just Gray.

The Reality of Wanting Him by Lexi Amber & Bec Benson

The Reality of Wanting Him by Lexi Amber

Blake

When my parents threatened to cut me off if I wasn’t married by the time I turned thirty, I thought finding a wife would be easy. But apparently, I’m not the best at dating, and almost two years later, I’m still very single. My birthday is coming up fast, and unless I want to give up the comfortable lifestyle I’m used to, I need to find someone willing to settle down with quickly. I’m desperate and out of ideas, until my best friend suggests I apply for a new reality dating show. Now I’m a contestant on the first season of Love Without Labels, a completely blind reality dating show where we talk to each other through distorted voice technology and texts. No photos, ages, genders, or even names will be revealed until we decide to move in together. I knew all of this when I signed up, and even though I’m straight, I assumed it would be easy to tell if I was talking to a woman. Apparently, I was wrong.

Liam

It’s my final season working for the family farm before I take over for my dad. I’m ready to find someone to build a real future with, but I know they aren’t in my small hometown. Love Without Labels feels like the perfect chance to find my person. I’ve never cared much about labels anyway. All I want is someone who’s loyal, honest, and I can share my dreams with. As we narrow down our matches, there’s only one person I can imagine a future with. Someone who listens, makes me laugh, and feel wanted in a way I haven’t in a long time. But while I’ve kept my mind open about who I’m falling for, apparently, he’s been convinced I was a woman this entire time. Will he still want to continue building on the connection we have now that he knows the truth? Or was this relationship doomed before it could really even begin?

Himbo Hitman by Saxon James

Himbo Hitman by Saxon James

What do you do when you’re a hit man … who’s terrible at his job?

At first, I thought it would be an easy payday. A few pew pews for bad people, a couple of suitcases of cash for me. People have done worse for an honest living. Probably.

The problem is that after a couple of jobs, I’ve never actually managed to unalive someone, and not for lack of trying. Apparently, a basic requirement of a hitman is being a good shot.

Despite my constant duck-ups—that my boss knows nothing about—I’m given another name, and I very nearly follow through. Only after obliterating this guy’s ear and his fervent pleading to spare him, I’ve sent him into hiding and collected the cash anyway.

But wanted people are hard to hide, and bad guys don’t like paying big money for loose ends.

Now that Van Gogh has shown his face again—sans ear—I’ve scammed my way into his security team, which is sort of ideal since I’m now highly wanted as well.

Unfortunately, we have some “trust issues” to “work through” from our meet-shoot, and with the gorgeous bastard’s brother missing, he refuses to lay low until they’re reunited.

I’m not sold on the plan, honestly, but this guy has me questioning my sexuality along with my career path, and I’m at the point where I’m determined to see a job through to the end.

Or die trying. But hey, at least then I’d finally deliver a body.

Blitz'd by Lee McCormick & R.S. McKenzie

Blitz'd by Lee McCormick & R.S. McKenzie

Zander

Kissing my rival shouldn’t have felt so good. Finding out my girlfriend has been cheating on me for months makes me do something crazy: kiss my rival to make her jealous. I wasn’t supposed to like kissing Kerian Slade. He’s a psycho who demands things of me…things I shouldn’t want. But there’s something about Kerian that draws me in, and now that I’m caught in his web, he won’t let me go.

Kerian

The number one rule: don’t care about people. Caring is a distraction, and emotions are messy… and messy is something I hate. Which is why I’m confused when the messiest player I’ve ever met—my rival—kisses me and turns my world on its head. Zander Braithe is sweet, emotional, and straight. That doesn’t stop him from coming back for more, and that doesn’t stop me from realizing I’ll burn the world down to make him mine.

I accidentally told my stepbrother I was in love with him when we were fourteen. In my defense, strong cough syrup was involved, but to my great regret he hasn’t missed a chance to show me how disgusting I am ever since. He damn near ruined my life. But I’m not a kid anymore, and the summer internship I scored at the best investment banking firm in San Francisco is my ticket to a perfect life. Everything is going to plan until he shows up.

Malcolm
My former stepbrother was supposed to fall off the face of the earth so I’d never have to look him in the eyes again, and honestly, I thought he had. The sight of him with his rock hard body in a great suit makes me feel things I’ve ignored for years. Things I’m not sure I’ll be able to avoid if I let him back into my life. And I wouldn’t except—I might need his help. 
In addition to learning the ropes in finance, each intern gets a hundred bucks to turn into a pile of cash by the end of summer. Whoever makes the most wins a dream career with the firm. The only rule? There are no rules. When the rest of the interns pool their money for an advantage, I have to decide whether to go it alone and risk the job, or confront my complicated history with Ryan and work together. Good thing we both claim to be straight. Otherwise, this could get complicated.

Bull's Boy by Kiki Clark

Bull's Boy by Kiki Clark

Getting passed over by women for his height and for not being “manly” enough has become the story of Malcolm’s life. He’s tired of it and just about ready to give up on dating completely.

What’s the point? He can’t make himself taller and being Mr. Take Charge will never be his vibe.

And not only is his romantic life in shambles but bills are piling up and now his awful older brother is getting married and wants to do a destination wedding.

Malcolm can hear his bank account crying already.

What he needs is a chance to just relax and forget his worries for an evening. What he doesn’t expect is for his giant of a boss to step in and help him out. No one has ever made him feel the things Bull does. He’s quiet and kind, and his eyes follow Malcolm, keeping watch over him.

Bull deserves a proper thank-you. Something that makes him feel as good as Malcolm does after their night out with Bull’s friends.

Something tells him one reckless encounter won’t be his last. Bull is about to change his life… and claim him for his own.

Landon
King’s Heart Preparatory Academy for Young Men. A place I don’t want to be. But it’s a good opportunity. So I take it, hoping it’ll help me land a scholarship and eventually get my family out of our tiny trailer. Though I didn’t know he’d be here. That sickly kid from my past who always tried to mess with me. Now he’s all grown up and captain of the football team I’m joining. He wants me to be miserable. He wants me to leave. But when I get too close and see everything he holds under the surface, all I want to do is stay.

Grant
What is he doing here? He’s from a time that no one is supposed to know about. A secret that continues to haunt me under my angry facade. I try to make him miserable. I try to make him leave.
He won’t budge, threatening everything I’ve kept hidden away. But when I accidentally let him in, I find that he makes me feel the one thing I’ve been chasing all these years. Safe.
