Hart & Sol - Kass Barrow
Blurb:
A SLICK ROMP THROUGH A WORLD OF SIN Hart & Sol are part of a specialist team tasked with eradicating the most elusive threats on their company's hit list. Top of that list, the target known as Havoc is currently holed up on the Pleasure Planet of Baluvia. He means to destroy the planet and everyone living in that "cesspit for the perverted." A devious bastard who hides in the shadows, Havoc has only been lured out briefly by an attractive whore called Peter, who has since gone missing. With Sol's resemblance to Peter, he's the obvious choice to go undercover and take his place, in the hope of drawing the target out again. However, with Havoc's ability to read minds, the plan can only work if Sol undergoes a temporary memory swipe, so even he believes his own cover story. Hart hates that Sol volunteered for this mission. It's their first time apart since Sol moved in with him and will be a true test of their relationship. Unaware he has a boyfriend back home, Sol soon shacks up with a whore called Bona, who wastes no time introducing him to the unpleasant realities of life as a sex worker. With the clock ticking, Hart knows he must stay focused on the end game. He has to track down Havoc and get Sol out of there before Sol's memory returns and his cover is blown. Some things are sent to test us...

Ghost Hunted - BL Maxwell
Blurb:
Jason Thomas had always been obsessed with the ghost stories he'd watched on television from the time he was a kid. He'd always dreamed of visiting those haunted places, and playing amateur ghost hunters with his best friend Wade. As they grew older, Jason's fascination with ghosts grew as well, and he'd drag Wade along to different haunted houses or hotels, always hoping to see an actual ghost.
Wade Rivers loved spending time with Jason, even if it meant he'd have to endure another creepy, supposedly haunted location. Friends since they were kids, and always inseparable, Wade's feelings for Jason deepened from friendship into something more. Unfortunately, so did his fear of the places Jason wanted to explore.
The chance to spend a weekend alone in a famous haunted house was too much for Jason to resist, and almost too much for Wade to endure. He knew going to the deserted house was everything Jason had ever dreamed of, so Wade tried to put his fears aside. But when paranormal things start to happen, admitting to Jason how he feels suddenly isn't the scariest thing Wade will encounter.

Nola Knights N'awlins Exotica Boxset. - Michael Mandrake & Rawiya
Blurb:
I put the dishes on the rack, and dried my hands. I caught something from the corner of my eyes, and turned. I walked towards the trash can then. Dead roses. And within those roses, I saw a small card with a name written on it. It had a white ribbon attached to it, with hearts scrawled all over. I leaned closer, and I saw Christian, written elegantly on it. I thought back to the pair of eyes last night, and lowered my head. Probably just a prank. Or just me being extremely paranoid. Even so, I couldn’t stop the doubts from coming through. Was this why he was so cold? Did he think I was cheating on him? I bit the bottom of my lip. I walked upstairs, back to that same window. Before I knew it, I reached over, and shoved the curtains over it.

Won't Feel A Thing - CF White
Blurb:
Book one in the St. Cross series – a newly edited version!
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.

In a unit composed almost entirely of Dark Elves, Hernan Seinnés, with his green eyes and auburn hair, is an outsider. When Verhan, up the creek again, is blackmailed into helping Hernan, he never expects to fall for him. But during the long hours spent training Hernan for the Honour Guard, feelings strike the Highlander right in the heart—and with the force of an arrow. Unversed in relationships, Verhan finally plucks up enough courage to tell Hernan how he feels, only to drive the Asirhwӱnian away instead. If Verhan can swallow his pride, he might get one last chance to show Hernan what he means to him—and maybe this time he can hit the mark.

A Brand New Ballgame - Declan Rhodes
Blurb:
“Never have sex with the boss!” Chase’s sister Celia shouted the words with the extra emphasis only personal experience could provide. Fortunately, Chase’s situation was different. He was saying goodbye to the minor leagues, and he was unlikely to see his manager regularly ever again, much less play baseball for him. The opportunity to go to bed with Aaron Beck was Chase’s parting gift for leading the Rock City Ramblers to a second-place finish, and the gift was perfection. Chase O’Rourke always played baseball well. From the moment he picked up a bat in a T-Ball league, the game came to him naturally. Seeing his sculpted body built perfectly for optimal batting and chasing down balls in the outfield, most observers thought big league stardom was the most important of Chase’s goals. 28-year-old Aaron Beck was one of the youngest managers ever in the minor leagues. He had baseball management in his blood from his World-Series-winning grandfather to his Uncle John who managed teams for more than a decade in the minor leagues. Aaron’s goal was clear. He would be a big-league manager by age 40. Then Aaron got called up just months after Chase. They were not only both in the majors, they were working for the same team. Soon, high-minded vows to follow the rules and remain professional melted in the flames of passion. It was a brand new ballgame that Aaron and Chase were learning to play.
