Tricks 'N' Treats

Jean Locke Holmes: Porn Star Detective, #2

John Luke Maxwell

It’s a brand-new day for Rafael Vásquez. Sure, his ex-boyfriend tried to kill him, but all of that led to an extraordinary new life with his porn crush—and amateur sleuth—Jean Locke Holmes.

When word trickles down of a week-long Halloween party at the newest gay bathhouse in the Castro, it’s not long before Holmes smells something odd about. Their room at the bathhouse is vandalized. Raf finds himself shedding far more than his inhibitions when he is hired to replace a dancer who died tragically under shady circumstances. Before long, another dancer bites the dust.

The Halloween horror builds to a harrowing climax as Raf stares down the barrel of a gun to confront a greedy conspiracy lurking just below the surface.

Raf will have to bare all—and learn some dark truths about his own character—if he wants to survive.

Mortal Screaming

The Legend of Hereward #2

Kon Blacke

The whisperings continue beyond the aftermath of Ealdræd’s destruction. And as the dust settles across the universe after such an event, a new, greater evil seizes the opportunity to arise. An evil that begets an evil that will threaten the world in ways the gods can’t even fathom.

As the Whispering Monks have foretold.

The whisperings also mention a boy named Wallace, rescued by Lord Knight Hereward after an unspeakable horror. That boy—destined to be the son of Hereward—has a greater purpose within the machinery of the universe as a demon slayer. But that’s just the beginning for Hereward’s son.

So the whisperings say.

The whisperings also speak of Abbot Hosho’s mortal creation, Greysen. A man who’s an outcast but far more powerful than the supplicant he currently believes he is—more so when the demon he serves releases its hold on him, for Greysen is no longer desired.

So it is that these two—Wallace and Greysen—with Lord Hereward’s sword, will reshape the world as much as any evil born ever could. Because when good has a greater purpose, everything changes. For better or for the worse? Only the Whispering Monks can say.

And they don’t whisper about that.

First Tentative Steps

Stag-Vixen Journey #1

T.S. Arrington

Facing a now-empty nest, Mike and Helen find themselves exploring bedroom secrets they've never dared talk about. Secrets that could shatter their decades of peaceful and loving marriage.

On the surface, Mike and Helen are the typical American family—they've raised four children, established a good home for them, and their kids are on their way to become successful adults. But after dedicating their lives to raising their family, Mike and Helen wonder...what comes next?

With more time to themselves, they encounter cravings they've kept bottled up for years. Desires that would have the neighbours gossiping.

Mike and Helen must learn to trust each other all over again. They can only hope they're strong enough—and honest enough—to take these first tentative steps together.

Twins for Life

Felyx Lawson

A pair of identical twins.

One is a jock, the other a theatre geek.
One is popular, the other has a small friend group.
One is single, the other is secretly dating.
One is straight, the other is gay.

When younger, Billy and Bobby Davenport were extremely close but as they grew up they went their separate ways. Billy embraced his love for acting and Bobby dominated at basketball, but with a case of mistaken identity, their worlds are about to collide.

After someone sees one of the twins kissing a guy at a party, it quickly spreads around the school that Billy is gay since he's an actor. He’s about to set everyone straight…until his brother reluctantly comes out to him…but Bobby isn’t ready to be out to anyone else.

Bobby asks for one thing, but the request is anything but simple.

Can Billy pretend to be gay to protect his brother?

Anonymous Nude Photos

Lauren Jane K.

A nameless woman meets a sculptor at an art exhibit. She's drawn to his art—sculptures made of shattered objects, breathing new life into ruins. She can recognize creativity and dedication in him, something she holds herself as a renowned photographer.

Together, they rent an art studio in an abandoned factory. Here, both engage in their art—him planning a masterpiece made of thousands of shards of glass, and her slicing through her photos, dividing and reassembling. Both must break down their art to rebuild it and find the true beauty within the pieces.

Art reflects life.

They soon begin a sadomasochistic relationship. Each knot, each slap, each bruise...each brings a confluence of pleasure and pain. Each contributes to a shattering and reassembling. And this search for beauty within the pieces finds her falling in love with him, the one person who holds sway over her with a single word: "Kneel".

But when a betrayal tears apart the fragile reality they've built, she must learn to rebuild once more.

My Only Real Friend is the Easter Bunny at the Mall

Christina Bagni

When Mo’s therapist suggested she get an after-school job to help with her depression, she didn’t expect to end up as the photographer at the Easter Bunny photo set. She also didn’t expect to befriend Billy, the man in the bunny suit—an extremely tattooed ex-gangster (probably).

Mo’s therapist also didn’t lay out the risks. Like how Mo’s shoplifting habit might make things difficult with her mall cop dad. Or how the cute changing room attendant at Pandora’s Box might reveal to the world that Mo’s queer before she’s ready.

Or how it all might end with Mo getting arrested.

Well, whatever her therapist expected, Mo’s about to tell her the truth…for maybe the first time. Because after it all blows up, she’s all Mo’s got—besides her only real friend, the Easter Bunny at the mall.

Tilting Gravity

The Eichon Series, Book One

Jenn Storey

The moon is falling.

Born with the gravity majik needed to prevent certain doom, instead of training, seventeen-year-old Syd spends her days skipping academy classes to tinker with airships, ignoring her future as a soldier in the army of the Eichon–the goddess-gifted ruler of the planet. As expected, Syd ends up in the Director's office more often than not, and the academy has had to get creative with its "motivational methods" in hopes that Syd will begin to take her gravity majik seriously.

Luckily, she's untouchable, betrothed to the Eichon’s daughter, Adeline. Unluckily, Syd's about to learn she will be the next to take up the Eichon’s mantle.

Adeline has been groomed to follow in her mother’s footsteps since she was a child. When it’s revealed Syd, not Adeline, will become the next Eichon (not to mention do the impossible–save the world), trust begins to break as roles and identities fall apart. Then, when Adeline goes missing, Syd must choose: follow the destiny given to her or find Adeline.

All the while, the looming moon serves as an ever-present reminder of just how small–and thus how big–her problems truly are.

C.K. Dion

This comfortable life takes an unexpected detour—the good kind—when she meets fellow teen artist Cris. While the start of their friendship is awkward, he quickly becomes an important part of her life and those feelings soon grow. That chance meeting blossoms into a relationship with both teens head over heels in love.

But not everyone is happy about this.

The problem? Cris comes from the wrong part of town and Sallie’s parents have a problem with that. They’d rather see her with someone like Aidan—good looks, athletic, respectable family, great wealth—than someone like Cris.

With endless obstacles and challenges thrown in their way, will this broke boy find a permanent place in this rich girl’s heart?
