Beneath the Ice

Beneath the Ice

Jonathan Blake

He never wanted to see Cole again. Not after the night on the pond, especially not after the shame that followed.

Simon is a backup goalie for his college hockey team—and a man at war with his own desires.

Cole is a power forward—dominant, relentless, and impossible to ignore—everything Simon isn't.

Now Cole is back—playing for a rival school, and closer than ever. When an on-ice clash forces Simon into the spotlight, Cole takes control the only way he knows how: by getting inside Simon’s head. But Simon doesn’t fight it. In fact, he thinks he likes it.

What starts as a kinky game of dominance and submission becomes something darker—something that threatens their teams, their futures, and the truth Simon has spent his whole life trying to bury. Because some desires don’t just expose you…they set you free.

His Last Resort

His Last Resort

Jay Heron

The hardest thing about pretending to fall in love…is realizing it was never pretend at all.

Hugo is done believing in happy endings.

Fresh from a painful divorce, the quiet Swedish immigrant is facing the terrifying reality of spending the rest of his life alone. When loneliness pushes him to book a luxury vacation through Sunsets With You, he tells himself it’s a harmless indulgence: one week in paradise with a dazzling escort playing the role of his boyfriend.

Starling’s escort career is already on its last legs, and the resort contract is supposed to be an easy job. After years of playing the perfect fantasy boyfriend, he knows exactly how to charm his clients.

Hugo, however, refuses to play along. Instead of falling for Starling’s skilled act, the rugged, stoic Viking of a man sees through the escort persona—and demands something far more dangerous: honesty.

As their unusual arrangement begins to blur the line between performance and reality, the tension between them becomes impossible to ignore.

Then a sudden accident by the pool forces everything into the open, sending Starling rushing to Hugo’s side. Under the relentless Mexican sun, the boundaries between client and escort begin to disappear. For the first time in years, Starling finds himself wanting something real.

But letting Hugo see the truth behind his carefully constructed mask means risking everything—including the fragile hope that what started as a paid fantasy might convince him he’s brave enough to believe in love again.

Jay Heron

When your husband gets you human-trafficked, Stockholm Syndrome might just be the key to unlock all your cages.

Waylon never imagined his husband’s gambling addiction would cost him his freedom. When Paul’s debts land Waylon in the hands of a criminal syndicate, he’s locked away in a remote house with ten days to wait for a miracle—or an auction that will sell him to the highest bidder.

In the middle of Waylon’s nightmare, one man stands apart. Sean, his guard, and an ex-military, is the only one who shows him kindness. Sleepless nights and a forbidden connection with his prisoner awaken parts of Sean he thought were long dead.

As Waylon’s deadline closes in, Sean must decide how far he’s willing to go to save the man who’s already claimed his heart.

A dark MM romance with high heat, hurt/comfort, morally gray heroes, and a guaranteed happily ever after.

Little Violence

Little Violence

lauren jane k.

In the sweltering heat of a Savannah summer, a missing Civil War-era photo album sets two strangers on a collision course of danger, desire, and obsession.

Brock Charleston—a private investigator with a penchant for finding what shouldn’t exist—is hired to recover the photo album after its seller is brutally murdered. The deeper he digs into Savannah’s underground erotic world, the more the whispers start pointing toward one unlikely witness: Ronnie Barbarian, a queer tattooed cellist grieving her grandmother—and hiding a past she refuses to name.

Ronnie wants nothing to do with Brock or the violent world circling around her. Brock wants nothing to do with the sharp, magnetic pull he feels toward her. But when a second threat emerges, the two are forced together in a collision of grief, heat, and unraveling secrets.

Desire turns dangerous. Trust turns intimate. And the album—if it exists at all—may be worth killing for. But the hardest thing for Brock will be confronting the one thing he’s never risked: wanting something for himself.

Books, Balls, and Cute Butts For Christmas

Books, Balls, and Cute Butts For Christmas

Christmas, Cute Butts, and Hot Romance, Book Two

Cameron D. James & Cali Kitsu

Frosty Bottoms, Vermont, is home of the largest Christmas festival on the east coast and the state’s hottest gay bar, Bottoms Up.

Two months ago, at the bar’s Halloween party, a wolf with abs like Adonis had a scorching hot hookup in the men’s room with a sexy, tattooed mouse. Now that Christmas is almost here, the burning embers of that night come roaring back to life.

International soccer superstar Jacob Rizzo is hiding out in Frosty Bottoms after being suspended for punching a referee. Laying low during his suspension, he starts up a contracting business, doing odd jobs for the locals, who’ve agreed to keep his whereabouts a secret.

Twilight-obsessed bookseller Edward Kane is moving to Frosty Bottoms to open Hot for Plot, a new romance bookstore. With the help of his bartender brother, he hires a contractor to bring his dream shop to life. Between the contractor’s sexy voice on their daily calls and his brother’s teasing about how hot he is, Edward can’t wait to meet him.

Despite wanting to make a good first impression, when the two finally meet, Edward ends up face first against Jacob’s bulge. Jacob instantly recognizes the top of that head: it’s the mouse from Halloween. But Edward has no idea they’ve met before.

Jacob is everything Edward is not—athletic, confident, and soccer-obsessed—while Edward is quiet, dresses in emo blacks, and hopelessly romantic. They couldn’t be more opposite. While Jacob is certain he can’t ever have a relationship, Edward carries around a personal Book Boyfriend List.

Playful teasing soon ignites into a secret holiday romance amid the town’s glittering Snowflake Festival. But if the media discovers Jacob’s hiding place it will mean the end of his privacy and the quiet life he’s built in Frosty Bottoms.

Books, Balls, and Cute Butts for Christmas is a high-heat MM romcom filled with potent pineapple juice, a book boyfriend auction, and a foul-mouthed parrot.

Queer as Folk Tales

Queer as Folk Tales

James Penha

To paraphrase Toni Morrison: If there’s a folk tale you want to read but it hasn’t been written yet, you must write it. In Queer as Folk Tales, James Penha has done exactly that—he has gathered ancient myths and legends and reimagined them with queer lovers at their heart, the stories he, like so many LGBTQ2+ readers, has longed for.

In these tales…

A gay boy steps into a photograph to find happiness.

A dying man can rest only after seeking forgiveness from the trans celebrity he once denied.

A woman surrenders to passion in the arms of a ghostly, lesbian wraith.

Two gay fishermen fall afoul of a dragon.

A Chinese student searches for the legendary god of queers.

And a Norse god embraces his pansexuality when he falls for a giant.

In these tales we ask…

Can queer desire bloom with a ghost?

Which sleeping hunk will the prince decide needs his kiss?

Can a poet save the beautiful young ginger trapped in a fox's body?

Who are the queer heroes still remembered after thousands of years?
