Jude: I built the Hunters from nothing. It took three years of blood, sweat, and perfectly executed scares to make me the king of Ridgeway's Scream Scene.
But then they hired him. Ash, the cocky newcomer who moves like sin and fights like he has something to prove. He's too good, too unpredictable, and way too fucking hot for someone I'm supposed to hate.
Every night we collide on stage, all controlled violence and barely restrained fury. But backstage? In dark corners where no one can see? That's where the real fight happens. Where his hands pin me to walls and my control shatters into something desperate and dangerous.
I should push him away. Keep this strictly professional. But the way he looks at me like he wants to destroy me and worship me at the same time makes me forget why I ever tried. Every touch is a war I'm losing. Every stolen moment in the dark carves out pieces of me I didn't know I could give away.
He's becoming an addiction I can't kick.
Ash: I took this job for one reason: Jude. I've been obsessed since the moment I saw him perform, all dark elegance and lethal grace, the kind of beautiful that ruins you. Now I'm his partner, his rival, his dirty secret in storage closets and backseats where we fuck like we might kill each other if we stop.
He says it doesn't mean anything. That we're just blowing off steam between performances. But I see the way his carefully built walls crack when I touch him. The way he comes apart when I push him past his limits. The way he looks at me in those unguarded moments right after, when he hasn't rebuilt his armor yet and I can see straight through to the need he won't name.
I want more than stolen moments. More than just his body in the dark. I want him. All his damage and defiance and desperate need that he refuses to admit exists. I want mornings and coffee and the right to touch him in daylight.
I want him to stop pretending this thing between us is just convenient friction.

Alpha Mine
by Raine Gerald
Lesson learned: don’t go kissing strange wolves.
Especially when you’re already betrothed to another.
I thought he was a sign from the Goddess, a blessing in the dark.
But of course, he wasn’t.
I never asked for this. I never asked to be forced into an arranged marriage meant to secure an alliance between two powerful packs. I tell myself I can endure it. After all, I’ve always been good at keeping my head down and playing the dutiful Omega son, sacrificing myself for the pack.
It’s always for the “good” of the pack.
But one reckless, stolen moment under the Bloody Moon changed everything. Now I find myself trapped between two brothers—one who sees me as nothing but a plaything, and the other who rejects me again and again, yet he’s the one I can’t stop wanting. No matter how hard I fight it, my stupid, stupid wolf refuses to let him go.
Bound by vows and a treaty too costly to break, I’m drawn deeper into this web of duty and expectations… and closer to a ruthless, brooding Alpha who could be my salvation—
Or my ruin.
Evernight
by Ken Sanchez
Some towns are built on secrets. Hollow Pines is made of them.
When city-born Nate Harrington is uprooted to the rain-soaked wilds of Hollow Pines, he expects to be the outcast. Armed only with a camera and a restless heart, he’s determined to keep his head down, survive the stares, and maybe—just maybe—find a piece of himself that wasn’t broken by the life he left behind.
But Hollow Pines isn’t just another sleepy town at the edge of nowhere. There are eyes in the forest, shadows that move where they shouldn’t, and every smile in town hides something sharp beneath. Nate knows he’s being watched—by classmates who know each other too well, by teachers who dodge innocent questions, and by a beautiful, silent boy with secrets in his bones.
Evan Callahan has spent his life holding back—his words, his grief, his true nature. As the son of the local alpha, he’s meant to be strong, stoic, and unbreakable. But the weight of his mother’s death and the legacy he never asked for threaten to crush him every day. The only thing that makes him feel alive is the quiet call of the forest…and the strange, stubborn new boy who refuses to be afraid.
Drawn together by curiosity, loneliness, and a connection that feels older than memory, Nate and Evan find themselves caught between worlds: human and wolf, outsider and heir, longing and fear. But in a town where the line between hunter and hunted is always shifting, the cost of trust might be more than either is willing to pay.
Because some secrets are hungry. Some legacies come with claws. And in Hollow Pines, falling for the wrong boy might be the most dangerous thing of all.
Quarterback Drill
by Christie Gordon
Breaking down in front of a repair shop wasn’t what I needed. Neither was falling for the broody mechanic under the hood.
Casey
Football is my future—my escape, my identity.
But when my Beamer craps out in a sketchy part of town, I meet Ryker Hart, the grumpy mechanic who calls me a pretty boy and still makes my stomach flip.
Fixing my car turns into coaching his brother, crashing dinners, and falling harder than I should.
He’s rough around the edges and hiding his pain.
But when he lets me in, I want everything.
Even if that means risking my career before the draft.
Ryker
I don’t have time for cocky quarterbacks with BMWs and perfect smiles.
I’m busy keeping my shop running and my kid brother on track after our mom landed in prison.
But Casey Carter crashes into my life like he owns it, and somehow ends up coaching my brother, eating dinner with us, and making me laugh like no one ever has.
He shouldn’t want a guy like me.
And I definitely shouldn’t be dreaming of a future with him.
The Best Parts of Him
by Amy Aislin
Sometimes the sweetest victories happen off the ice.
Ryland Zervudachi lives for the game of hockey—and for the chance to build the kind of team unity that will carry the Columbus Pilots all the way back to the playoffs after last season’s crushing defeat.
Off the ice, though, there’s one goal he hasn’t managed to score—the heart of Kyle Dabbs, the Vermont Trailblazers’ team captain and his long-time crush.
Kyle Dabbs has built a life centered on quiet strength. After a childhood scarred by his father’s verbal abuse, Dabbs pours his energy into his career on the ice and the book series he’s written to help kids like the boy he once was. He doesn’t need someone flashy, loud, and spotlight-loving like Ryland turning his world upside down.
But when an untimely appendectomy leaves Dabbs stuck at home, Ryland—recovering from an injury—shows up to help. Between late-night Scrabble competitions, pumpkin-carving mishaps, and long talks that peel back layers they’ve both kept hidden, Dabbs begins to see past Ryland’s bold exterior.
With chemistry sparking and walls crumbling, both men must decide if they’re ready to risk their hearts for something even better than a championship: love.
Sweet Wicked Thing
by Jessie Walker
Psychotic. Unhinged. Certifiable.
It’s nothing Aston St. James hasn’t been called before.
Abandoned on the steps of a church as a newborn, it’s been one losing battle after another as he was chucked from one broken system to the next.
First, foster care, and now as a patient at Ashwood Asylum.
He’s accepted his terrible lot in life.
Relishes in it, even, especially after that night six years ago, when his entire life was upended with one single, irredeemable act.
Not that Aston wants to be redeemed.
No, no, everything they say about him is true.
He just wishes it hadn’t cost him one of the few good things he had in his short life:
His foster brother, Vale DuPont.
Never did he think he’d see his quiet little mouse again.
But when a chance at a seemingly normal life comes a-knocking, leading him into the old drafty halls of Grady Preparatory Academy, it would seem fate is far from done with them.
And Vale is far from that meek little boy Aston once vowed to protect.
If only the big, bad quarterback was as happy to see him as he was…
And didn’t have secrets of his own that threaten to unravel everything.
Scurry, scurry, little mouse.
You know I’ll always find you.
Finding Home in Comfort
by Kerry Kilpatrick
Hank’s world is all routines and exotic animals—until a city boy shows up with too many ideas and zero goat sense.
Hank
My life is quiet, steady, and exactly how I like it. I run an exotic animal ranch on the edge of Comfort, Texas, mind my own business, and keep my heart tucked away where it can’t cause trouble. I’ve never wanted to take care of anyone—and I’ve been fine with that. Relationships can wait. Maybe forever. Then Jasper Greer shows up in a too-loud car with too-bright energy and a head full of plans. He’s a walking complication… and I can’t seem to stop thinking about him.
Jasper
I came to Comfort to turn my third cousin twice-removed’s house into a queer-friendly B&B and prove I can follow through on something that actually matters. I’ve always been about the good time, but Hank? The second I meet him, I know. He’s my Daddy—even if he doesn’t see it yet. And just because I’m a boy doesn’t mean I’m any good at letting someone take care of me. But with Hank? I want to try.
