Alpha - Tamed & Trained - R.Phoenix & M.A. Innes
Blurb:
[Sequel to Puppy.] Zain was just a dog walker. It was an unconventional job for a werewolf, even a brand new one, but he liked dogs and they liked him. It only seemed to make sense... right up until the point a vampire called him in to take care of his human pup. When his life collided with Liam and Caleb's, none of them were prepared for the directions it could take. Especially Zain. But between the sexy pup and the vampire's creativity, the power struggles pitting dominance against submission -- and acceptance -- the two might be too intriguing to just walk away from... When M.A. Innes, bestselling author of sweet taboo romance, and R. Phoenix, author of playful dark erotica, paranormal romance, and horror team up, you should leave your expectations at the door. The duo responsible for Almost Strangers, a sweet contemporary romance with more than a few taboo themes, has collaborated again to bring you something from the other side of the force.
*This is the sequel to Puppy by R. Phoenix, which should be read first. Sorry, loves, it's definitely not a standalone. *(Warnings/Potential Spoilers) Prepare for M/M/M, puppy play, body modification, humiliation, dehumanization, and other stuff I'm forgetting about right now. Not every dynamic or element is 100% consensual.
Finding It - Riley Hart & Devon McCormack
Blurb:
Travis never expected to meet the love of his life, especially not with a guy like Gary-his very own Superass. But now that he has, he's not letting him go. He's got the ring and a plan. But when his proposal during the biggest fundraiser of the summer doesn't go as expected, it's up to familiar friends to make sure this day ends with someone putting a ring on it. Because these guys know the hardest thing about love is simply FINDING IT. *This 17,000-word Metropolis story contains adorable antics, sexy shenanigans, and a fabulous HEA.*
Nameless One - Lily Lamb
Blurb:
Born as the result of a torrid affair, rejected by his people and banished to a life of misery.
Exiled in life, the Nameless One is bound to a life of servitude. Of endless wishes being granted to unscrupulous masters, greedy and salacious lives being created.
There must be more to life than the pain and suffering that must be endured as penalty for indiscrete liaisons? Perhaps a life on opposite planes could be the salvation. Or does it just toy with the futile hopes of a distressed soul that imagines an existence of forbidden love and contentment.
The future is never certain but one must always be ready to grasp life if an unexpected opportunity is presented.
Second Chance - Jay Northcote
Blurb:
Everyone deserves a second chance. Nate and his teenage daughter need a fresh start, so they move back to the village where he grew up. Nate’s transgender, and not used to disclosing his history, so it’s hard living where people knew him before. When Nate reconnects with Jack—his best friend from school and unrequited crush—his feelings return as strong as ever. Jack’s returned home to get his life in order after an addiction to alcohol caused him to lose everything: his job, his driver’s licence, and nearly his life. He’s living with his parents, which is less than ideal, but rekindling his friendship with Nate—or Nat as Jack once knew him—is an unexpected benefit of being back home. Jack is amazed by Nate’s transformation, and can’t deny his attraction. Trying for more than friendship might ruin what they already have, but the chemistry between them is undeniable. Doubting his feelings are reciprocated, Nate fears he’s risking heartbreak. Jack’s reluctance to tell his parents about their relationship only reinforces Nate’s misgivings. With both their hearts on the line and their happiness at stake, Jack needs to make things right, and Nate has to be prepared to give him a second chance. This story is a standalone Length: 67,000 words approx
The Last Child - Sean Kerr
Blurb:
From the acclaimed author of the Dead Camp series of books, Sean Kerr, comes a contemporary horror thriller that delves into the fascinating world of religious conspiracy theory to deliver a terrifying new story of occult mystery. 'If Derek had been facing the window, he would have seen it, the figure standing behind the lower pane, watching him through the darkened glass. It was nothing but a blurred outline behind the frilly lace curtain, but it was there, its head juddering violently from side to side until it became indistinguishable from the lace that concealed it.' Some children are born for a purpose. Samuel is having a tough time of it in school as he is tormented by a vicious gang of bullies, but it is nothing compared to the torture of his home life. Every night he hopes that his friend will take him away from his horrors, a friend he calls the Universe, a constant voice that speaks to him in his darkest moments. At least the Universe loves him. As his teacher, Christina King wants so much to help Samuel, but she’s haunted by her own horrific childhood and the monstrous tragedy that stole her youth. She feels drawn to the young boy, she understands his pain, but she has no idea of the nature of the true horror that binds them in a vicious game of tug and war. There is only one group of people who know the truth about Christina and Samuel, a sinister group of watchers who have observed them all their lives, a group known as 'I Tredici'. They have been waiting for centuries, and as the signs of the oncoming apocalypse reveal themselves in blood and brutal murder, they know the ancient war is upon them at last. Only they understand the roles that Christina and Samuel must play in the coming days, and only they know how the outcome will change the course of history forever. For Christina, this is the start of her journey towards a terrible truth, but for Samuel, it is the start of a new and terrifying existence.

He’s got the injuries and bites to prove it. How can he impress Rick in such a foreign and hostile environment? Rick Masters can’t believe he has to babysit the boss’s privileged nephew for two weeks. Come on, the man turned up for a mountain survey wearing skinny jeans and toting a suitcase on wheels. But Luc’s attitude and self-deprecating humor has surprised him. Perhaps he’s misjudged him? He’s nothing like the robust outdoorsmen Rick is usually attracted to, and yet…those skinny jeans sure hug him in all the right places. But Rick has a plan for his life, and a man like Luc Weston could never be part of it. No way!

A Nick and Ben Story
Having explosive sex is easy for Nick and Ben—getting past their hang-ups and opening up to each other won’t be.

He’s still not comfortable as a gay man, and he keeps his relationships short… as in a single night.
Hotel reviewer Ben is a hopeless romantic, but he can’t seem to find a guy who feels the same. After being cheated on again, he doesn’t expect to spend forever with Nick, but even their one-nighter doesn’t go off without a hitch. Ben falls asleep on Nick’s couch, and in the morning, they have to face their hookup that wasn’t…and the fact that there’s a connection between them whether they’re looking for one or not.

To make matters worse, his best friend, Ari- yoga teacher and self-proclaimed love psychic- insists that Will and Logan belong together, and he won't shut up about it anytime soon. When one unexpected gift leads to another, Logan and Will are shown that things don't always work out as planned - but they always work out.
