I want something true.

Torin

Hiding behind my mascot mask has always worked in my favor. As someone with social anxiety and paralyzing shyness, the ability to be out in the world without being seen is the only way I’m able to function. It also means I can long for my crush from afar without him knowing.

I’m invisible inside my costume and try to go unseen otherwise. Except that Hugo always sees me because he’s such a sweet, kind, thoughtful man. Is it any surprise that I’m completely in love with him?

What starts out as an accidental anonymous text turns into a date but there’s just one problem. Hugo thinks he’s texting a girl. What happens when he finds out that’s not the case?

Hugo

When my closest friends all pair up, I’m left as the unpartnered ninth wheel, which becomes awkward and makes me feel out of place. That’s where my new friend, Torin, comes in.

The face behind the Surry the Seal is Torin Jonah. He’s so quiet and nice, I try to always make sure to say hi to him when I see him. It’s not hard to make sure someone knows that you see them.

We start hanging out all the time – having sleepovers, platonic cuddling, maybe a little throwback to teenage mutual jerking sessions in the shower amongst bros. When I tell him that I’ve been talking to this girl and I think I like her, suddenly I feel like I’m being unfaithful to him.

Now I’m not sure what to do. Date this girl or maybe see if Torin could possibly be interested in me and see what happens.

About the Author:

Crea lives in upstate New York with her dog and husband. She has been writing since grade school, when her second grade teacher had her class keep writing journals. She has a habit of creating secondary, and often time tertiary, characters that take over her stories. All of her RH relationships end up being heavily polyamorous – meaning it’s not just all the men for one woman. There’s also some M/M action going on. When she can’t fall asleep at night, she thinks up new scenes for her characters to act out. This, of course, is how most of her meant-to-be-thrown-away characters tend to end up front and center – and utterly swoon-worthy! Don’t ask her how many book boyfriends she has…

When not writing, Crea is an avid reader. Her TBR pile is several hundred books high (don’t even look at her kindle wish list or the unread books on her tablet). Sometimes, she enjoys crafting; sometimes, exploring nature; sometimes, traveling. Mostly, she enjoys putting her characters on paper and breathing life into them. Oh, and sleeping. Crea loves to sleep!

Break The Ice by Alexandra Silva

Maybe we’re not just breaking the ice.
Maybe we’re shattering all the rules that kept us apart.

Break The Ice, an all-new bi-awakening, dark, MMF hockey romance duet from USA Today bestselling author Alexandra Silva is now available!

They say love melts the coldest of hearts, but what if the ice was put there for a reason?
Elijah Sylkes was my everything… until he left me without warning, shattering the only love I’d ever known.
Years later, he comes back to save me from the cult we were raised in, pulling me into a life I never thought I’d get to have.
Now, I’m in L.A., far away from everything I knew, living in his apartment, struggling to figure out who I am outside the walls I’ve been trapped in.
Elijah is the same—cold, distant, impossible to read. But everything else is different.
Including Jayden Morrow, his best friend and teammate.
Where Elijah is closed off, Jayden is free, easygoing, and self-assured. He makes me laugh. He shows me a world I never imagined. And when I catch him looking at Elijah the same way I do, I start to wonder if maybe, just maybe, we’re all feeling the same pull.
The more time we spend together, the harder it is to ignore the way the three of us are drawn to each other. Something electric, something forbidden, something that shouldn’t be happening… but is.
In a world that told us to fear this, we’re walking a line we can’t erase. I never thought I’d feel this free…
Maybe we’re not just breaking the ice. Maybe we’re shattering all the rules that kept us apart.

Keep reading for a look inside Break The Ice!

I’d know the rhythm of his stride anywhere. If not that, then the hush that follows him through any room.

Where Elijah goes, eyes follow. It’s not just his height or that wall of quiet confidence he carries like a second skin. He’s the pastor’s son. The Elder’s grandson. A Sylkes — direct descendant of Havenview’s founder. If this town had royalty, the crown would be theirs.

My pulse stutters when his tall frame slides into view and takes the empty seat beside his grandmother.

I lean forward, sliding my hymnal into the rack with unnecessary care, stealing a glimpse. His dark-blonde hair has grown out since last time, falling in that too-casual way that makes me want to push it from his face. The hard line of his jaw flexes as he sits under the weight of the congregation’s stares.

If the seating weren’t assigned, he’d have slipped into a back pew, out of sight. But in the Fellowship, even where you worship has rules.

“Sit up,” Mom hisses, breaking my stare.

I obey, clutching the hymnal, my heart beating like it wants to escape my ribs.

It’s then that I feel it — his gaze.

It crawls over my skin like sunlight breaking through heavy clouds. The longer it lingers, the tighter my chest draws until the edges of the golden cross blur with the white wall behind it.

The sermon drones on, but I don’t hear a word. My mind is back at the countless rules, the countless no’s from the council. Like when they told him no after he asked permission to marry me.

By the time the final prayer ends, my lungs ache for fresh air.

Outside, the summer heat presses down as I cross the churchyard, past the lilies of the valley, past the cemetery and the Elders’ mausoleums, until I reach the clearing behind the shed.

Our shed.

We made memories here. First kisses. First touches. First promises whispered like prayers we had no right to say.

I pace the worn grass, waiting.

It feels like forever before his reflection joins mine in the small church window.

“Hi,” he says, voice rough from disuse, and when I turn, there he is — tall, sunlit, beautiful enough to steal breath from my lungs.

“Hi,” I manage, watching him twirl an iris between long fingers before he tucks it into my hair.

He steps back, hands in the pockets of his Henley-stretched jeans, studying me with that small, crooked grin that always undoes me.

“So…” I say, twisting my arms behind my back to keep from reaching for him. “You did come for the feast?”

Elijah shakes his head. “Not for the feast, Fin.”

“Oh.”

“I came for you.”

Striking the Match by HJ Welch

Love will save the day

TEDDY

Everybody has celebrity crushes, right? You just don’t expect to ever meet them. And even if you did, it’s not like they’d ever like you back—like me back, I mean. I have no idea how to be cool. I’m just the cute kid brother. Not only at home, but with my work family, too.

That all changes the day I run into football legend Cassius Garda. It doesn’t apparently matter that he’s a millionaire or that he’s fifteen years older than I am. It’s like suddenly someone sees me for me, and what’s even crazier is…I think he likes it. Likes me. But when disaster strikes, I don’t know if I’ve got what it takes to save us both.

CASSIUS

Ever since my football career was cut short from a shoulder injury, I’ve been struggling to find purpose again. It’s been nice to move back home to Redwood Bay, but it’s only when the most adorable little firefighter bursts into my life do things start making sense again. Luckily, I’m privileged enough to already be out of the closet. That means if sweet Teddy Foster can get over his hero worship, we might just have a shot at something meaningful.

However, when we find ourselves stranded, alone, and fighting for our lives, I hope he finally understands that he’s the real hero of us both.

Striking the Match is a red-hot, standalone MM romance. It’s the third book in the found family Redwood Bay Fire series. Join the members of the One-Thirteen house as the heat turns up and they find true love! This book features a baby-faced boy realizing he’s already a man, an evil cat that just wants to be loved, huddling together for warmth (as well as other naughty things), and a guaranteed HEA with absolutely no cliffhanger.

Worth the Fight by C.F. White

It was never going to be just one night. Not when it burned this hot.

Worth The Fight by @C.F.WhiteAuthor is OUT NOW!
📖 https://geni.us/WorthTheFight

Firefighter Reece Morgan is the station flirt. Tattooed, reckless, and always up for a laugh or a hook-up. He’s made a name for himself across Worthbridge, and he’s fine with that. No strings. No drama. No need for more.

Until one heated night in a sauna changes everything.

Trent Lawson thought it would be just sex. One night to forget, to shut off the noise inside his head. But the fire Reece ignites won’t stop burning. Not in his skin. Not in his chest. Not when every emergency throws them back together, stoking something far deeper, and far more dangerous.

Reece isn’t used to caring. Not really. But Trent isn’t just another fling. Behind his sharp tongue and cool control, Reece sees the exhaustion, the cracks, the way Trent’s numbing himself with all the wrong things. And for once, Reece doesn’t want to walk away. He wants to fight. For Trent. For every kiss denied and every glance that means too much.

But when the flames turn deadly and the danger hits close to home, Trent must face the past he’s been running from and decide if Reece is the one thing worth stepping into the fire for.

Because in Worthbridge, sparks are flying.

And some flames are worth the fight.

Worth the Fight is the second book in the Worth It series, a gritty MM romance series set in a small coastal town featuring first responders entangled in a criminal case that threatens the community they serve and the people they love.

Love wasn’t in the game plan—until it tackled them both at full speed.

About the Book

Camden Crawford knows how to take a hit.

As the thirtysomething captain of the Exeter Seagulls, he’s built a career on strength, silence, and shielding his emotions as ruthlessly as he does his teammates. But when an injury rocks his team—and a series of frustrating media storms threaten to unravel his legacy—Cam finds himself one mistake away from losing everything he’s worked for. The last thing he needs is a distraction.

Enter Brent Parks: sunshine in tattooed skin, newly settled in Exeter, and a little too perceptive for Cam’s comfort.

Brent came to England chasing purpose. What he didn’t expect was a brooding rugby player with eyes like winter and walls like stone. But the chemistry? Immediate. Irresistible. And very, very mutual. Brent isn’t afraid to get under Camden’s skin—and he’s definitely not afraid to stay there.

When a one-time tattoo consult turns into stolen kisses, slow mornings, and a summer of something that feels a lot like more, both men are forced to face the truth: Falling for each other wasn’t in the game plan. And neither is what happens when the spotlight turns on their relationship.

With mounting pressure, cross-continental tours, and past insecurities clawing their way to the surface, Camden has to decide if love is a risk he’s finally ready to take. And Brent? He’s ready to prove that he’s not just a distraction—he’s the reason to stay.

A swoony, slow-burn MM sports romance full of banter, bruises, and unexpected tenderness.

Little did we know just how much Mclean House would change our lives.

The Mclean Tales #1 | BDSM | Friendship | Found Family | Humor | Origin Story

Let’s go back to the beginning. It’s a cold night in Baltimore, and Lucas West arrives at an event to explore fantasies and core kinks. Instead, he’s about to catch the scowl of someone who will change the course of Lucas’s life entirely.

“Don’t worry, Lucas West. You’re safe with us.”

How is it that some promises sound like threats?

Lucas throws himself into the night with the sadistic twin brothers Reese and River Tenley—and he becomes part of the story about eight kinksters who will one day run the community called Mclean House.

The eight founders find their happily ever afters in the Game Series, but this book isn’t about that. It’s about what happened before. The story very few know so far. How they met, how they became friends, and how they started exploring together.

Author’s note: Are you new to the Game Series? This is the perfect book to jump right in and get to know the main characters.

Disclaimer: No fighter pilots or Marines were injured by each other’s insults in the making of this book, River apologizes in advance if he offended any vampires or people from Chicago, and Lucian solemnly swears that his cleaning service didn’t find anything embarrassing at his place after the night they all remember, except possibly something that belongs to Greer.

Disclaimer two: Sorry for lying. River isn’t apologizing for anything.

Teaser 1

“I’m dominant,” I felt the need to say.

Reese’s smile widened. “Even better. A Dom who needs to get fucked? Do you struggle with that bit?”

I narrowed my eyes. “Only if the other guy—or guys—think they can boss me around. And for the record, Doms can be bottoms too.”

He chuckled and leaned back in his seat. “I know.” He lifted his gaze to something behind me—or someone, rather—and it was River returning with two bottles of beer. Reese scooted farther in, and River sat down next to him. “Lucas West here is a Dom who occasionally needs to get fucked like a savage.”

For chrissakes!

“Really.” River hitched his brows at me and took a swig of his beer. “Does he beg?”

Okay, that one got me. Annoyance tore through me, and I instantly considered calling it a night. I could still drive after two beers, and I hadn’t finished this one anyway. My plan had been to nurse it for a while. My actual plan—and the whole reason I’d chosen to drive—was because I’d thought I’d be in Baltimore.

“He fucking does not,” I stated. “He’s not that interested either.”

*

“Hey, gorgeous. Did you get your asshole prettied up for us?”

I stopped short, and it felt like he’d dumped a bucket of cold water over me. Water or embarrassment. Or defiance—or anger!

Who the fuck was this guy?!

I made eye contact with River. “Is he always like this?”

He shrugged a little and took a swig of whatever drink he’d mixed. “More or less. It’s how he digs for information. It ain’t subtle, but it’s effective.”

Information about what? And how exactly? Through shock value?

“If there’s information you want about me, you could start a conversation and ask,” I pointed out. “It’s how normal people get to know each other.”

River chuckled quietly. “Not sure we know what’s normal.”

“Fuck normal,” Reese said bluntly.

About Cara

I’m often awkwardly silent or, if the topic interests me, a chronic rambler. In other words, I can discuss writing forever and ever. Fiction, in particular. The love story—while a huge draw and constantly present—is secondary for me, because there’s so much more to writing romance fiction than just making two (or more) people fall in love and have hot sex.

There’s a world to build, characters to develop, interests to create, and a topic or two to research thoroughly.

Every book is a challenge for me, an opportunity to learn something new, and a puzzle to piece together. I want my characters to come to life, and the only way I know to do that is to give them substance—passions, history, goals, quirks, and strong opinions—and to let them evolve.

I want my men and women to be relatable. That means allowing room for everyday problems and, for lack of a better word, flaws. My characters will never be perfect.

Wait…this was supposed to be about me, not my writing.

I’m a writey person who loves to write. Always wanderlusting, twitterpating, kinking, cooking, baking, and geeking. There’s time for hockey and family, too. But mostly, I just love to write.

Excerpt Blast – The Scrum Half by Charlie Novak

EXCERPT: THE SCRUM-HALF by @charlienwrites releasing July 10th!

#PreOrderNow

http://mybook.to/thescrumhalf

I grabbed the front of his T-shirt and slammed my mouth into his, kissing him like my life depended on it. He tasted like salt and whisky, smokiness lingering on his tongue as he pushed it between my lips. I groaned as he licked into my mouth, melting into his touch as he put one hand on my jaw and the other on my waist. My senses were overwhelmed, my mind stuck on what to do.

I’d never been indecisive, but now there were too many options in front of me.

All I could do was keep kissing him and see where it led.

My hands found the bottom of his T-shirt, sliding under it to grasp the heated skin of his hips and drag him against me. Matty moaned as I shoved my thigh between his legs, trying to stabilize myself. Dancing had made me tender and exhausted, and that was still pulling at my joints despite the wave of lust overriding it.

“We should… I…” I broke away to gesture at the living room and the sofa barely three feet away from us.

“Good idea.” Matty stepped back and reached for my hand, pulling me along with him. The nearest sofa was the smaller of the two but it would do. Except Matty clearly didn’t think so because he took me straight to the larger one, barely avoiding the edge of the coffee table as he walked backwards around it.

He flopped onto the wide plush cushions, hand still in mine. I tried not to laugh as he dragged me down, and I sprawled out on top of him, one leg between his thighs and the other almost hanging over the edge of the sofa. His body was warm and solid underneath me, and my suppressed laughter melted into a needy moan as his hardening cock pressed against my hip.

“You look so good like this,” Matty said as he slid one broad hand around the side of my neck, gently pulling me in for another kiss. “Look so pretty in my lap.”

“I like being here.”

“Yeah? Been thinking about it?”

“More than I should have been,” I murmured, my lips barely an inch from his.

“Good. So have I.”
