Heatwave Neighbors

Heatwave Neighbors An Enemies to Lovers MM Romance Novella by Jace Wilder

Ninety-four degrees at midnight, a dying air conditioner, and the human embodiment of a car alarm living next door. Dylan is a brand designer who thrives on order, structure, and quiet. He communicates in pristine, lawyer-like texts and handles conflict by hiding behind a strictly guarded wall. He has spent two years shrinking himself to fit inside what’s convenient, and the last thing he needs is a chaotic neighbor shattering his peace. Rafael is a broad-shouldered line cook who runs on heat, charm, and pure sensory overload. He weaponizes slammed doors, plays reggaeton at one a.m., and uses his loud, "human sunshine" broadcast to keep the world from looking too close at his own empty spaces. They’ve been locked in a petty, deranged apartment war since May. Then the historic heat dome over the city triggers a massive grid failure, plunging their block into total darkness. Except for a strange building anomaly: Rafa’s bedroom window unit is the only one still running off a commercial circuit. With Dylan’s apartment turning into a pizza oven, a fragile truce is negotiated. The terms? One cold room. Cold beer. Two mattresses spaced exactly four feet apart. But as the temperature rises outside, the distance between them begins to dissolve. Forced proximity turns late-night arguments into intense verbal sparring, and soon, a deep, uncontained heat takes over. In the pitch-black of a broken city, they are forced to stop playing the game of casual convenience and face the scariest item on the menu: wanting each other out loud. Heatwave Neighbors is a high-heat, open-door M/M contemporary romance novella featuring a grumpy/sunshine pairing, forced proximity, delicious banter, and a found-family restaurant crew. Safe HEA guaranteed.

But in this sweeping historical romance, the late 1950s are a hostile time for gay men, and Nick knows that he can’t let anyone into his life. He just never counted on meeting someone as impossible to say no to as Andy. Andy Fleming’s newspaper-tycoon father wants him to take over the family business. Andy, though, has no intention of running the paper. He’s barely able to run his life—he’s never paid a bill on time, routinely gets lost on the way to work, and would rather gouge out his own eyes than deal with office politics. Andy agrees to work for a year in the newsroom, knowing he’ll make an ass of himself and hate every second of it. Except, in a classic grumpy sunshine story, Nick Russo keeps rescuing Andy: showing him the ropes, tracking down his keys, freeing his tie when it gets stuck in the ancient filing cabinets. Their unlikely friendship soon sharpens into a slow burn of feelings they can’t deny. But what feels possible in secret—this fragile, tender forbidden romance between them—seems doomed in the light of day. Now Nick and Andy have to decide if, for the first time, they’re willing to fight.

When his mother became President, Alex Claremont-Diaz was promptly cast as the American equivalent of a young royal.

The last thing Grace expects is to become teammates with benefits with this class clown she sees as her rival.

The Pretty Boy Penalty

The Pretty Boy Penalty A Dark MM College Hockey Romance by Allan Hulrich

I filmed the hit. I kept the footage. That was my first mistake. My second was thinking Lev Morozov only wanted the evidence. Lev is Blackridge’s untouchable hockey captain: cold, brutal, disciplined, and built like every warning I should have listened to. He should scare me because he is cruel. But he scares me because I saw him almost choose differently. When a freshman is injured during a closed team ritual, the university moves fast to bury the truth. But the footage in my camera proves the silence was rehearsed. The deeper I dig, the more I uncover a pattern of broken players, covered-up injuries, and old lies with Lev’s name carved into them. Now the coach wants me quiet. The team is closing ranks. A rival player is watching too closely. And Lev keeps putting himself between me and every threat, even when his protection starts to feel like possession. He calls me krasavchik. Pretty boy. At first, it sounds like mockery. Then it starts to sound like mine. The Pretty Boy Penalty is a dark, high-tension M/M college hockey romance with a possessive captain, a fearless filmmaker, bi-awakening, hurt/comfort, found family, secret footage, team loyalty, and an HEA earned through blood, truth, and the penalty neither man regrets. Read it if you like your romance intense, emotional, dangerous, and impossible to put down.

There’s only one problem—Dylan Monroe, her first kiss and Hollywood’s favorite wild child—is the star. Dylan Monroe has always lived an unconventional life, having famous rock icons for parents. But she wants to prove that she’s not some chaotic, talentless nepo baby, that she has actual skills, that she’s just a normal person. To do that, Dylan takes on a project at a charming lake town—she even works at the town’s café (very quaint), shadowing a local waitress there (very cute), and asks her to take Dylan around to do Normal People Things. But Dylan soon realizes it’s not just some small-town waitress she’s getting to know—Ramona Riley is someone she’s met before, someone who remembers her even more vividly. Before long, however, reality hits them, and both women must decide if the spark between them can fan the flames of their individual dreams, or if it will extinguish their light.

Sugar Daddy Down Low An Age-Gap MM Romance by Jace Wilder

A multi-million-dollar acquisition model is easy to balance. A twenty-six-year-old bartender with a crooked grin and a sleeve of tattoos is not. Marcus Hale lives his life behind a fortress of absolute corporate discipline. At forty-five, he’s the Senior Vice President of Corporate Development, smooth-faced, level-voiced, and exceptional at showing the world exactly nothing real. But forty-five floors up, the pressure is building, and the top floor is turning into a searchlight he can’t outrun. Then he walks seventeen blocks past the financial district and steps into the Copper Rail. Leo Reyes reads rooms for a living. He can price a man by his wristwatch and detect a lie by the shift of a shoulder. He’s also carrying the weight of a fracturing family budget on his own two hands, running out of doubles to work, and joking about needing a sugar daddy to make the math stop screaming. He didn't expect the quiet, powerful executive at the end of the bar to lay down an actual term sheet. The rules are immaculate, handwritten in ink, and built with exits everywhere: A life-changing monthly allowance. Two evenings a week. Absolute discretion in both directions. Nothing occurs without explicit advance agreement. And the final line: He would be seen. What starts as a perfectly leveraged transaction quickly turns into a dangerous closed circuit of command and compliance, praise and vulnerability. Behind a hotel deadbolt, Marcus discovers a starved system flooding all at once, and Leo finds a second pair of hands quiet enough to pick up the load-bearing weight of his life. But as the corporate searchlight swings closer and a life-altering promotion looms, the pristine boundaries of their arrangement begin to erode. Because a contract can cover an exchange of time, but it has no line item for ownership. And when the vault door stands entirely open, both men must choose between the absolute safety of a clean exit or the expensive, beautiful wreckage of the truth. Sugar Daddy Down Low is a sizzling, emotionally intense, ultra-romantic age-gap MM romance featuring a powerful executive learning to live, a fiercely protective bartender, total dynamic transparency, and a deeply satisfying happily ever after.

The legend begins... Greece in the age of heroes. Patroclus, an awkward young prince, has been exiled to the kingdom of Phthia to be raised in the shadow of King Peleus and his golden son, Achilles. "The best of all the Greeks"—strong, beautiful, and the child of a goddess—Achilles is everything the shamed Patroclus is not. Yet despite their differences, the boys become steadfast companions. Their bond deepens as they grow into young men and become skilled in the arts of war and medicine—much to the displeasure and the fury of Achilles' mother, Thetis, a cruel sea goddess with a hatred of mortals. When word comes that Helen of Sparta has been kidnapped, the men of Greece, bound by blood and oath, must lay siege to Troy in her name. Seduced by the promise of a glorious destiny, Achilles joins their cause, and torn between love and fear for his friend, Patroclus follows. Little do they know that the Fates will test them both as never before and demand a terrible sacrifice. Built on the groundwork of the Iliad, Madeline Miller's page-turning, profoundly moving, and blisteringly paced retelling of the epic Trojan War marks the launch of a dazzling career.

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.)

They’re igniting… I promised myself that I’d never date another girl who wasn't out. But that was before I fell for intoxicatingly sweet and sexy Delilah. Coming together means risking everything for both of us. But fear stops Delilah at every turn, and I’m not sure I can risk my heart for someone who’s afraid to show the world she’s mine. Harborside Nights series Catching Cassidy (Het) Discovering Delilah (F/F) Tempting Tristan (M/M) " Finally, a realistic lesbian protagonist! The dynamic between Delilah and Ashley was super intense. Their first kiss was insanely hot and I am very much impressed with Melissa Foster's talent for sex scenes. Lesbian sex scenes always end up TOO soft and feathery. It's not realistic.

Second Alarm, Second Chance

Second Alarm, Second Chance A Steamy MMM First Responder Romance by Jace Wilder

The house wanted to kill someone. But the past was trying to kill him first. Ace knows how to look at a structure and tell exactly when it’s going to collapse. As a building inspector and former first responder, it’s his job to see the fractures before the foundation gives way. But what he can’t fix is the fracture inside himself—the crippling survivor’s guilt that keeps him isolated, hyper-vigilant, and alone. He’s perfectly fine surviving in the dark. Until Mason and Drew refuse to let him. Mason is a broad-shouldered, immovable fire lieutenant who commands respect and demands order. Drew is a relentless, high-energy paramedic whose intense focus chips away at Ace’s defenses. Together, they are the crew that pulled him from the wreckage. Now, they are the men determined to show him he has a reason to stay. What starts as shared coffee and quiet mornings at the diner sparks into a consuming, high-heat bond between the three of them. Mason provides the steady anchor Ace desperately needs, while Drew brings a momentum that reignites his pulse. Sharing isn't a compromise for Mason and Drew—it's the only way they want it. But rebuilding a life from the ashes is dangerous work. When the ghosts of the past rush back in, Ace will have to decide if he's going to let the trauma condemn him, or if he's finally ready to let two men carry him out of the dark. Second Alarm, Second Chance is a high-heat, emotionally gripping MMM contemporary romance featuring first responders, hurt/comfort, healing from trauma, and a hard-earned Happily Ever After. No cheating, no cliffhangers.
