Won't feel a thing - C F White
Blurb:
It takes more than a doctor to mend a broken heart.
Ollie Warne is fresh out of nursing school and working his dream job as a pediatric cardiology nurse at St. Cross Children’s Hospital. Wanting to start the year fresh from personal heartache and his track record of falling for the wrong man, Ollie’s New Year’s resolution is to rid himself of emotional baggage and live a life of carefree liaisons.
But before the resolution can even begin, Ollie is called to care for eight-year-old Daisy Monroe, who’s struggling after heart surgery. Her father, Jacob Monroe, never leaves her side, apart from the times her mother comes to visit.
The tempestuous and somewhat estranged relationship of her parents is cause for concern enough, but the father’s brooding nature has Ollie investing far more time than usual in his Room One patient. Striking up a friendship of sneaking takeaways into the ward, card playing until dawn and the occasional breaking up of domestic fights, Ollie finds himself drawn to Jacob and becomes a friendly ear for the man who’s harboring more guilt and past demons than even Ollie, which is saying something.
The growing attraction makes it hard for Ollie to keep his distance, though he has to—not only do the ethics of his profession demand it, but Ollie is still somewhat involved with another man. One who has a huge stake in Ollie’s life, both personal and professional.
Ollie is risking more than just his job by getting involved with a patient’s father—much more even than the success of his New Year’s resolution, something that was supposed to ensure that, this time, he won’t feel a thing.

Beta's Surrender - Nora Phoenix
Blurb:
Sven’s heat is coming, and with his mutative gene, the omega is warned he needs an alpha. The only alpha he trusts is Grayson, who is twenty years his senior. He’s also the only one who’s not afraid to take on Sven’s lover, Lars. What is supposed to be just sex turns into much more for Sven. But what alpha would want two boys? Lars vowed he’d always take care of Sven, but when his lover’s heat comes, he’s not enough. He has to accept the help of the alpha he hates more than anyone—with the exception of his brother Enar, maybe. When Grayson figures out what the beta really craves, Lars pulls his defensive walls up. Alphas can’t be trusted, no matter what promises they make. Not even if they can offer what he never knew he needed. Grayson never expected to connect with the sweet omega, and even less with the bratty beta who seems out to defy his authority at every chance. But there’s a reason for Lars’s insolent behavior, and soon the combination of these two boys becomes irresistible for Grayson. Can he be the Daddy these two need?

Lost With You - Rachel Kane
Blurb:
“That plane crash saved my life..." Eli: I thought a weekend in a remote mountain cabin would help me recover from how badly coming out to my family had gone, but I didn’t expect my pilot and wilderness guide to be so hot I can barely stand it. Jake is everything I’m not--confident, skillful...and straight. But when engine trouble sends our plane crashing into the trees a million miles from nowhere, Jake becomes the only thing standing between me and certain death. It’s hard enough to trust my survival to a complete stranger--but it’s even harder to resist the urge to watch him bathing in a mountain stream… and I’m starting to think Jake is not quite as straight as I thought. Jake makes me realize I'm worth standing up for, worth fighting for...but will he still feel that way once we’re no longer trapped on the side of a mountain? Jake: I thought I was just dropping a tourist off, but once we are lost in the woods, I realize Eli is a man on a mission. We should be worried about bears and mountain lions and running out of food, but instead I'm too busy being drawn in by his intensity. Eli is haunted, mysterious and hurt, and something about that combination makes me fall for him hard and fast. But when we finally make it back to the normal world, between his homophobic parents and my jealous ex, we feel more lost than we ever have. As much as I want Eli, who opened new feelings in me, feelings I've never had for a man before, I'm scared that the obstacles between us might be too great to overcome. Can we figure out how to navigate our family and friends...before our new relationship crashes and burns?

Aside from my sister and adorable niece, my grandfather is the most important person in my life. And knowing that I’m keeping a secret from all of them is slowly killing me inside. Then I meet Peyton one afternoon, and I can’t bring myself to stay away from him. Questions start to fill my mind, and I find myself wondering if he’s worth the risk.

Peyton and Marshall each have secrets that make them wary of relationships. After a chance encounter at Peyton’s job, they decide to give each other a shot and see what happens. Frustrations over keeping the relationship hidden puts a major strain on them, and the couple begins to doubt whether it’s worth the risk.

Truth & Betrayal - K.C. Wells

All the light went out of Jake’s life when his older brother Caleb died in a traffic accident. Getting through the aftermath was always going to be the hardest thing he’d ever done, but finding out that the tall stranger at the graveside was the one driving the car?

They obviously know nothing of Caleb’s life in Atlanta, and maybe it’s better that way. Caleb’s secrets can die with him. When Jake turns up at Caleb’s apartment to collect his brother’s possessions, what he discovers is the first shock in what is to be a series of revelations, turning Jake’s world upside down. New knowledge brings fresh pain and anguish. Jake isn’t the only one who’s hurting…

Betting On Love - J.P. Oliver
Blurb:
PRESTON Running hot has always been my problem. It’s what landed me in anger management classes - and has me hot for my coach, Brad. I don’t need anyone to tell me why its a bad idea. Hard to hear I need to stop listening to my instincts in a fight while giving the green light to instincts that have me manhandling him behind closed doors. Conflict of interest or whatever. I have to choose. I can have coach, or I can have a cooler head that doesn’t land me in trouble every other week. I don’t actually want to be this angry all the time. Like my alcoholic ass of a dad. He made my life miserable. I hate being anything like him. I just never figured out how…not to be. I’ve heard all the speeches. Take a deep breath. Count to ten. Put yourself in their shoes. None of it ever seemed to stick. Until Brad. When he says it, I listen. He’s the first person to have a shot at giving me that break through I’ve always craved. And I love him for it. But this time even I can see the consequences of breaking the rules. If I could just keep it professional, he could help me be the person I’ve always wanted to be. It just means giving up the person I want to be with. And I don’t think I’m that strong. I don’t think I want to be. BRAD I’m supposed to be the responsible one. To know better. But every time I try to say the words to put an end to this, he just gives me this look. Hungry. Heated. Consuming. And I forget all about what a bad idea it is. All about everything but his lips on mine, his hands around my waist. I hate being this weak. Feeling like my life is an endless series of rolling over and giving way. And it’s not even that people overstep with me. They don’t have to. I’m all too ready to just give in. It’s why I can’t tell Preston we have to stop this. Why I can’t convince myself I don’t want this. Why I can’t even tell my mother I’m gay. I’m supposed to be teaching him not to fight. But I’m starting to think maybe he has the right idea. Maybe he should be teaching me instead….

Me, Viva Gold, plus Megs Pritchard, JJ Harper, T.a. McKay, L.J. Harris, Ann Grech, Lou Watton and Brad Tanner have collaborated to write under the banner ‘Aubergine Publishing’. We decided to create a series of MM stories around the theme of UNIFORMS. We have called it Under the Uniform. It’s a loose theme – but the main ingredients are sexy men who love men! Made to Measure takes the idea of uniforms being used to boost the profile of the London Metropolitan Police. A special ops squad have been chosen to become insta-fame celebs in order to make the Met seem more ‘with it’ and to dispel negative opinion. The main character who tells the story from his perspective, is Sergeant Rob Ross. He’s a big man but a natural submissive. One of his team; the rookie, Liam Ryan, is built like an oak tree and also happens to be a Dom. Another man features – his name is Sanjay and he isn’t with the police but seems to fit right in the middle of the other two! This novella, is the story of how they met and what occurs afterwards… it’s short, sharp, sweet and sexy! If you have read my books, Izzy’s Boy and Good Lord, this novella will hold special treats for you…
