Edge of Knight
by Megan Derr
More than fifteen hundred years ago, King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table were slaughtered at the Battle of Camlann. That is where, for most, the story of these legendary knights ends.
But legends are seldom true, and the truth was that, in a moment of desperation, their friends and lovers dead and all hope lost, Merlin the Wild and Lancelot du Lac paid a great price to ensure the battle was not lost, merely delayed, until a day and time when the knights are reborn and ready once more to fight back the evil wrought by the ruthless Maleagant.
It is 2133, a year of no remarkable note. Lance Waters is a tax clerk, a man of no remarkable note. Until he logs into a new video game and chances upon something that should not be there, and awakens memories that have been waiting centuries for this moment.
You will be the first. Only you can wake the rest of us.
Brutal Bodyguards
by Jaye Pratt
Sometimes it sucks being the sister of a rock star. I don’t envy his fame, but I could do without the attention of his stalker.
I want my life back. My privacy. My freedom.
Instead, my father hires three bodyguards who suffocate me at every turn. They’re always watching, hovering, invading my space.
When I discover Wild Steps, it feels like the perfect escape. Masked men who don’t know my identity—who can give me exactly what I need without the complications.
The three masked men sent to me are everything I crave.
They chase me through abandoned buildings and parks. Pin me down and claim me. And for the first time since my stalker outed me to the world, I feel free.
But when the masks come off, I discover that the three men I trusted to protect me have been my masked strangers all along.
They lied to me. Deceived me. They orchestrated everything.
It makes me feel naïve and stupid for not realizing who they were.
But even after I tear verbal shreds off my bodyguards for their betrayal, then demand distance and join my brother on tour without them, I can’t bring myself to want them gone.

There's no way someone like him would be interested in me.
Until he convinces me to finally attend one of his games. Until he wins the game, finds me in the crowd…

I have no idea what that kiss means. But when I run, Rider chases.
And he's not letting me go until he has what he wants.
A Crush on Coach
by D.K. Sutton
I’d drop to my knees for this guy.
When my dad’s best friend accidentally texts me, I lose my ability to speak. Or think. Which is a problem since it’s my first day training volunteers at my new job. I stash my phone, but my questions aren’t as easily dismissed.
Who does he think he’s texting?
Coach Rathburn is into men?
It’s been five years since I last saw Brad Rathborn, hot silver fox and my high school wrestling coach, but I can’t let myself get sidetracked.
I moved home with two goals in mind: give my parents the best anniversary party possible and prove to the town I’m no longer the awkward twenty-two-year-old who ruined the county fair.
As Brad and I work together on the party and the community project, it gets harder to ignore the sparks between us. Especially when Brad reminds me just how much fun adulting can be.
Keeping secrets in a small town isn’t easy, and the anniversary party might not be the only surprise my parents get this Valentine’s Day.
