Casey treats Landon like an old friend, even though they’ve only interacted briefly in the past. He’s endlessly charming and completely laid-back in a way that Landon absolutely can’t relate to.

As roommates, Casey refuses to be defeated by Landon’s one-word answers. As friends, Landon comes to notice a few things about Casey, like his wide, easy smile and sparkling green-blue eyes. Spending the holidays together only intensifies their bromance-turned-romance. But as the new year approaches, the countdown to the end of Landon’s time in Calgary is on. Need more Rachel Reid?!

The best part: he’ll be sharing this summer of adventure with his partner of two years, Theo. It’s a fairytale in the making. But there’s a last-minute twist, in the shape of Theo’s three children. Theo’s ex-wife can’t take them for the summer after all, so Callum, Mabel, and Archie are coming to Italy too. Their open hostility to their dad’s boyfriend isn’t helped by the lack of Wi-Fi and the mounting chaos of renovation problems and bad plumbing, not to mention the resident lizards and mice. Despite everything, Adam finds himself falling in love with the place, whether he’s watching golden sunsets from the castle ruins with Theo, sipping coffee on the patio, or driving around the neighboring medieval towns. And as they sort through Uncle Wilf’s possessions, another story begins to take shape—one that will help Adam navigate the family secrets that have marred his past and the decisions that will shape his future. What emerges isn’t a fairytale, but it’s a rich, complex narrative of love, acceptance, and second chances that could pave the way for the best kind of happy ever after.

Served Hot by Annabeth Albert

First in the gay romance series that delivers passion in Portland. “ Tremendously charming and sexy, Served Hot is a knockout!” — RT Book Reviews   In Portland, Oregon, the only thing hotter than the coffee shops, restaurants, and bakeries are the hard-working men who serve it up—hot, fresh, and ready to go—with no reservations . . . Robby is a self-employed barista with a busy coffee cart, a warm smile, and a major crush on one of his customers. David is a handsome finance director who works nearby, eats lunch by himself, and expects nothing but “the usual”—small vanilla latte—from the cute guy in the cart. But when David shows up for his first Portland Pride festival, Robby works up the nerve to take their slow-brewing relationship to the next level. David, however, is newly out and single, still grieving the loss of his longtime lover, and unsure if he’s ready to date again. Yet with every fresh latte, sweet exchange—and near hook-up—David and Robby go from simmering to steaming to piping hot. The question is: Will someone get burned?

While dealing with human prejudice, Ray and his partner have to solve crimes relating to magic, and are forced to rely on the department's part-time magical consultants, something Ray tries to avoid—and not only because werewolves are uncomfortable around magic. Enter Cal Parker, the son of the department's most admired detective. Cal is brilliant, contemptuous of the police, and half-fairy. He's also Ray's mate, a fact that Ray has kept secret despite his every instinct screaming for him to claim and worship, because weres mate for life, and fairies… don't. Everyone knows that. Fairies are beautiful, flighty, and fickle. But perhaps it's not only the humans who have prejudice about beings. Cal isn't shy about his desire for Ray—not that fairies ever are—and Ray's resistance is crumbling. But the situation is growing more dangerous as they get closer to the killer, and by the time Ray accepts the truth of a fairy's heart, it might be too late. Being(s) in Love: Magical creatures known as beings emerged from hiding amid the destruction of the First World War.

At twenty-two, the team's newest forward is pure, unfiltered kinetic energy. He's loud, he wears his heart on his sleeve, and for some inexplicable reason, he's decided Adrian is his favorite person.

Swept Away

Swept Away by Radclyffe

When ER physician Sloane Marshall is called in as a last-minute replacement for a federal outreach mission in the remote mountain town of Coulter’s Gap, she views the temporary assignment as an unwelcome interruption in her “real” work in a level one trauma center where she is actually saving lives. Jax Kincaid, a sharp-edged helicopter pilot and former Army flight medic tasked with medical evacuations and disaster logistics, is none too happy about a lead physician who’s never been to battle.

THE MAFIA DON Arranged Marriage

THE MAFIA DON Arranged Marriage by Olimpia G. Giordano

He was supposed to be my enemy. Now he owns my name… and my future. I was never meant to belong to a man like him. Cold. Untouchable. Ruthless. A king built from power and fear. He doesn't love. He doesn't feel. And he definitely doesn't marry for anything as weak as emotion. But in this world, peace is bought with blood… —and I'm the price. One deal between rival empires. One signature that seals my fate. One man who looks at me like I'm nothing more than a possession. I expected a monster. What I didn't expect… was the way my body betrays me when he's close. The way his control cracks just enough to reveal something darker beneath. Something dangerous. Something that wants me. Now I'm trapped in his world— sleeping in his bed, wearing his ring, carrying his name. He thinks I'll break. He thinks I'll obey. But I've spent my whole life surviving powerful men. And if he wants to claim me… He'll have to fight for it. Because I'm not just his weakness. I might be the only thing that can destroy him.

Saint

Saint by Sierra Simone

I can’t have Elijah Iverson. I can’t have him because he’s my older brother’s best friend. I can’t have him because I broke his heart five years ago; because he’s now engaged to someone else—someone kind and dependable who deserves his whiskey eyes, his soft mouth, his fierce intellect. I can’t have Elijah because I’ve chosen God instead. The Bell brothers, though . . . well, we don't exactly have the greatest track record with vows. But I’m determined to do this monk thing right—to pledge myself to a cloistered life and spend the rest of my years in chastity and prayer. But now Elijah’s here. He’s here and he’s coming with me on my European monastery road trip, and between the whispered confessions and the stolen kisses and the moments bent over an ancient altar, my vows are feeling flimsier by the day. And vows or not, I know in my heart that it would take more than a good and holy monk to resist Elijah Iverson right now. It would take a saint. And we all know that I’m no saint. (This is the third full-length standalone in the Priest Collection, featuring Father Bell's brother, Aiden Bell. You do not have to read Priest or Sinner to read Saint.)

Bad to Be Worthy by Andrew Grey

Sequel to Bad to Be Good Bad to Be Good: Book Two When a former mobster's past catches up with him, will it end the quiet life he's been struggling with, or transform it into something he couldn't have imagined? Sometimes Gerome Meadows longs for the excitement of the life he left behind for Witness Protection. But when he stands up to a bully in a bar to protect a homeless man, his past comes very close to home—and it's no longer what he wants. Tucker Wells has been living in a tent, surviving with the aid of his friend Cheryl and helping her watch over her son. When he winds up on the wrong side of an argument with some dangerous people, his already difficult life is thrown into turmoil. Gerome steps in to find them a temporary apartment, and Tucker is grateful and relieved. Gerome never meant to open the door to trouble. His life and Tucker's depend on keeping his past a mystery. But as his desire to protect develops into something deeper, he and Tucker will have to evaluate what family means—and hope that their growing feelings pass unimaginable tests.
