Matthew
Since the death of my wife a year ago, I’ve led a quiet life running a small town book store and narrating audio books on the side. At least it was quiet until a nearly naked man came knocking on my door just two days before Christmas.
​
Louis is vibrant and brash, but there’s also a loneliness in his eyes that looks suspiciously like the loneliness in my own. And when preparing to narrate a queer romance has me questioning my own sexuality, it’s Louis who’s occupying my new fantasies.

Louis
There’s no bigger reminder of your perma-bachelor status than spending the holidays with your family. Thankfully, an out-of-town wedding becomes the perfect excuse to escape. That is, until I find myself on the doorstep of the broody man living next door to my rental.
​
All evidence points to Matthew being straight, but when a Christmas confession proves otherwise, I make an offer that soon has me realizing I might be in over my head.
​
I’m only here for the week, but I’m starting to think I might want forever.

Hell for Christmas by
Catherine Lievens
When Justin decides to visit the underworld, he’s looking for his birth mother—not a cellmate who’ll steal his heart.
Half-demon Justin has always been loved and accepted by his adoptive family, but when their mother’s death tears the family apart over an inheritance question right during the holidays, Justin needs a distraction from his grief. Curious about his birth mother, he decides to find her, hoping to get answers to the many questions he has.
But Hell isn’t what he expected. His mother rules her territory with brutal efficiency, and her warm welcome turns into a nightmare when she demands Justin become her heir. When he refuses, she throws him into the dungeons—right into the cell of Mynor, a demon who’s been standing up to her by freeing her prisoners and stealing from her supporters.
Mynor is wary of Justin—can he not be when Justin is Anya’s son? But as days turn to weeks, he discovers that Justin is nothing like his mother. Being stuck together in a small cell brings them closer, both physically and emotionally, which isn’t something either of them expected.
Anya is prepared to keep Justin locked away forever if that’s what it takes to break him, but Justin knows that eventually, his brothers will come looking for him.
He just hopes it won’t take them too long.

Cabins Cows Critics
by Becca Jackson
Welcome to Beaker Brothers Ranch. Part dairy farm, part animal sanctuary, and currently home to one runaway heir hiding behind a herd of miniature cows.
Connor keeps things running smoothly in the Cuddle Cove, a cozy corner of the ranch where guests come to unwind, snuggle up, and fall in love with his herd of miniature highlands. Around here, he’s known as the quiet cowboy with a steady smile and hands that never stop working.
But under all that calm is a secret he’s spent years hiding. He was once the heir to an enormous fortune; until he came out and ran away.
Now, with news that his grandfather has died and the world is searching for the missing Richmont heir, Connor has a plan; keep his head down through the big Christmas Experience at Beaker Brothers Ranch, and then disappear again.
But then Hayden arrives; warm, curious, and impossible to ignore. Suddenly the lonely ranch nights are filled with laughter, late-night talks, and a spark Connor didn’t expect.
Staying invisible now feels like the hardest thing in the world, because for the first time in years, Connor finally knows how it feels to be seen.

Godless
by L Eveland
His bite marked me. His kiss ruined me. His return damned me.
LORENZO
I was built to kill—flawless, heartless, and loyal only to the man who made me. Now he's my next target.
When a rare Judas Coin forces me to hunt Dionysus, I need his son: Rafael. A fallen priest I marked with my teeth years ago.
I don’t need a partner. I don’t need a conscience. But I’m stuck with both. And every moment we spend together reminds me what it feels like to want something I was never meant to have.
RAFAEL
I was damned the moment he touched me.
Now he’s back with blood on his hands and a contract on my father’s head.
I should run. Pray. Turn him in.
Instead, I’m hiding him in church basements, watching him bleed for me. Kill for me.
Lorenzo is temptation wrapped in violence, a sinner sculpted in scars.
And the more I fall, the further I drift from the God I once served.
If redemption is still possible, I’ll find it in him—or burn beside him trying.

Overtime Positions
by A.M. McCoy
Franchesca Frankie Blake’s life is a carefully balanced chaos: single mom, rink-side bartender, and secret late-night skater with two left feet. Romance? Not on the schedule. Especially not with the cocky, dominant, too-hot-for-their-own-good beer league boys who practically live at the rink.
​
At least, that’s what she tells herself—right up until a babysitter emergency drops her kids in the laps of Travis and Elliot.
​
Travis is a rugged carpenter who smells like sawdust and sin. Elliot is a golden-retriever firefighter who blushes when he’s turned on. They’re best friends, which makes her off-limits. But stolen glances spark into heated kisses, secret phone calls, and one night that turns into three tangled bodies and dangerously tempting more.
​
Now Frankie’s juggling bedtime stories, secret sleepovers, and two men who don’t know how to share—but aren’t willing to let her go.
​
But someone else is watching.
A stalker lurks in the shadows, leaving behind chilling reminders that her past isn’t as far behind as she thinks. And when obsession turns dangerous, Travis and Elliot might be the only thing standing between her and the threat she doesn’t dare name out loud.
​
She never planned to fall for either of them.
She definitely didn’t plan to fall for both.
And she never expected the biggest risk would be surviving it.

Can't Refuse Him
by B.J. Twigg
Oscar didn’t ask to be cursed. One bad breakup, one witch with a grudge, and now the janitor can’t take the trash out without… embarrassing complications.
He’s barely learned to live with it. Then, a monster crawls out of a bin.
Eddy’s been undead for decades, doomed to haunt garbage as a Grouch, a ‘Bin-Spirit’. After being beaten and left to die like discarded rubbish, he should hate everything, especially the living. But to Eddy, Oscar is different. Sweet. Lonely. Hot in a hopeless way. And Eddy can’t refuse him.
Together, a cursed janitor and a trash-monster boyfriend might just figure out how to break both their curses. But between vengeful exes, messy hauntings, and the small matter of Eddy’s whole ‘rotting spectral form,’ being together is going to be hard, dirty work.
Can love bloom in the most unlikely of dumpsters? And will they prove that even the messiest men deserve a second chance?
