Can an old crush lead to new love?

Teo Marquez attends an after-school karate program with his best friend at their junior high in San Bonita, Texas. It's challenging, but also totally fun, so Teo signs up for more classes at the Silver Dragon, the local dojo. While Teo loves his karate classes, he becomes silently smitten with a gorgeous teenage assistant there, Mr. Eklund. But before Teo gets the nerve up to even say hello to his crush, his family moves away and Teo's dreams are shattered.

Six years after moving to California, Teo returns to San Bonita as a transfer college student and rekindles some old friendships. He decides to take karate again when he learns that his old crush, Lucas Eklund, is now the sensei at the Silver Dragon! Adult Lucas is even more handsome than Teo dreamed of, and he returns Teo's interest. There's one problem--Lucas is deep in the closet. Teo thinks he can handle it, but Lucas' personal dragons might be stronger than Teo anticipated.

Forbidden Puckboy

by Eden Finley and Saxon James

Easton
You know what’s the worst feeling in the world? Being in love with someone since you were twelve years old, knowing they only see you as a little brother type.
 
Not even becoming an NHL star has made him realize I’m all grown up now.
 
All of that changes when I ask my brother’s best friend to ref a charity match and we spend an entire week in each other’s pocket.
 
Being close to him is torture, but for the first time since my adolescent crush started, I begin to feel hope. I swear Knox looks at me the same way I look at him. Or so I think. When I throw myself at him and get utterly rejected, I never want to see him again.
Yet, shaking him is impossible, because he and Connor are always around, and my older brother is suffocatingly protective. Every time I look at Knox, I’m reminded of how he turned me down.
 
Can’t I just die of embarrassment in peace?
 
Knox
The Kiki brothers are legendary in the NHL world. Thick as thieves, unstoppable on the ice, and the kind of family nothing can come between. Or so I thought.
 
For the last ten years, I’ve successfully hidden my feelings for the middle Kiki brother. Easton is snarky, determined, and the prettiest guy I’ve met. Ever since we stumbled across each other on a gay dating app and shared our secrets, I’ve felt a connection to him that I haven’t had with anything else.
 
But Connor is my best friend and when it comes to his little brothers, “protective” doesn’t cover it. I’m determined to take my feelings for Easton to the grave, but after a week in close proximity to him, my willpower is ready to break.
 
All it takes is one charity hockey match, a drunken night out, and a forbidden kiss for me to know that Easton Kikishkin is it for me.
 
And unless I want to lose Connor, Easton will never be mine.

More Than Need

by Aurora Crane

One surprise visit changes everything, and three men find out what it means to need.

Problems come in threes. That’s why Riley Sinclair has two rules in life: no relationships and no inviting anyone into his home. Then a woman claiming to be his biological sister waltzes into his life, he finds himself in the arms of one of his detectives, and his sister’s best friend decides to pay him a visit—a man who instantly gets under his skin and makes Riley want to do bad things to him. Three is a terrible number.

Gideon Clark is openly bisexual, recently divorced, and trying to figure out what his life looks like now and how to fit in time with his son. He doesn’t expect his new life to include his boss and another man who brings with him an intense complication.

Dawson Sheppard only wanted to confront the man who’d made his best friend cry—he definitely didn’t mean to sleep with him. He can’t tell his best friend what he’s doing behind her back, and he can’t make himself stop what he’s started with two men who turn him inside out. Now what is he supposed to do?

They can’t let go of each other, and secrets are slowly building. They’re breaking the rules, and they’re going to have to make choices about what matters most and what’s more important than need.

Rough Country

by Kelly Fox

Good fences do NOT make good neighbors, especially when that neighbor is a city idiot with more dollars than sense.

Emery McAvoy is a walking disaster who should never be allowed to step foot on another ladder. Heck, I’d bet my favorite Golden Girls T-shirt that he rearranged his entire life because his ten-year-old daughter likes ponies.

It’s rather inconvenient, then, that he’s one of the hottest, sweetest men I’ve ever met. I regret looking him up on that dating app because now I have photographic evidence that he’s exactly my type.

Not that I’d ever fall for the city boy next door.

My Dirty Witch

by RM Neill

I suck at magic.

That’s normally not a bad thing, but when you’re a witch?

Honestly, having been banished to earth and in the company of humans isn’t that bad. I mean, I have a home, friends, and even a few hobbies, but that doesn’t stop me from being plagued with nightmares or make breaking the curse feel any less impossible.

And while it feels like spending my life alone is inevitable, I crave the physical touch of a lover. The itch to find my heart’s mate is back and louder than ever.

When your best friend’s dad is your wingman—and a demon—it’s all kinds of awkward meeting the love of your life.
But here we are.

The adorable and eccentric owner of the magic store believes in witches and is into the same kink I am. I want to say that it’s fate, or meant to be, but when nothing in my life has ever been easy, I don’t want to get my hopes up.

Is my love life finally going to evolve from spying on my roommates or am I destined to remain a virgin for eternity?

Romeo vs Romeo

by Hayden Hall

The sexy newcomer at Neon Nights hates me. I’m not too thrilled about him, either, except that those hungry eyes full of hateful desire do wild things to me.

I know I shouldn’t meddle with a closet case. Good Catholic boys are nothing but trouble and heartbreak.

Except that this Catholic boy is a foot taller and a foot wider, with dusty blond hair and piercing blue eyes. My legs turn to jelly whenever he comes near me. And all of a sudden, I’m messing around with the exact type of guy I should avoid. My time would be better spent protecting our safe space from demolition, but my obsession with Everett consumes my body and my soul.

If only things were as simple as all that.

Just when I think that Everett and I could have something a little like a future together, I discover who he really is. Everett Langley is the son and heir of the very man who is trying to build a luxury hotel after he ruins our neighborhood.

Neon Nights is at risk and I am never scared to be the first line of defense. But this time, standing up for the bar that shelters all the outcasts and runaways in the neighborhood means fighting the very person I am falling in love with.

Picture This

by Flynn Woods

My roommate has a secret OnlyMens account. If I only hadn't subscribed…

​

My four new jock roommates quickly accepted me as one of their own—except for Leon, who was distant from the start. It makes sense, though. Leon is the university's heartthrob—athletic, intelligent, and mysterious. In comparison, I'm just some random gay nerd who somehow ended up living with him because I got adult content unblocked on the university's Wi-Fi.

​

No matter what I tried, I couldn't get on Leon's good side. Guys like him never hang with people like me—let alone go further than that. It didn't help that the more he distanced himself from me, the more my thoughts revolved around him. So when I used my computer skills to learn more about him—to find something I could use to connect with him—I stumbled upon his secret.

​

Leon has a secret OnlyMens account.

​

Not wasting two seconds thinking about it, I subscribed to his page. What I saw surpassed all my expectations, and everything was exciting until... I suddenly got a private message from him.
