Something Borrowed

Alex Winters

Sinossi

A stolen kiss and stubborn witness equal a lifelong bond between three young friends, but will this simmering secret tear them all apart or bring them even closer together?
 
Lexi, Grace, and Lydia all worked together, waiting tables during their gap year. At a Christmas party, Lexi and Grace shared an intimate, one-time kiss, never to be spoken of again. They thought no one had seen, but Lydia had. She, too, never mentioned it.
 
Five years later, the three have gone their separate ways. When Lexi and Grace receive invitations to Lydia's wedding, they can't fathom why. That is, until it's clear Lydia considers them a couple, despite not having seen each other for years, and has given them an all-expenses paid week at an exclusive resort to see if their stolen kiss has stood the test of time.
 
Now all they have to do is make up for lost time, even if takes the rest of their lives ...

Enemy - biker gay romance

K.A. Merikan

Don’t bring a kiss to a knife fight. 
 
Roadkill. Violent. Brash. Obsessive. In the closet. 
Clyde. Cunning. Ruthless. Biker royalty. Trapped on the other side of the same closet. 
 
Roadkill. 
 
I’ve hated Clyde Turner since the moment I laid eyes on him. I hate him for existing, for tempting me, for being everything I can’t have. 
 
Ice-blue eyes, a cocky smirk that makes my fists itch, a damn Hell’s Butchers MC prince. I want him violently, but since I can’t have him, I will destroy him. I killed his f*cking brother, and he’s next. 
 
When a fire traps us together, death feels inevitable. With no way out and nothing left to lose, we trade confessions like poison-laced promises. 
 
I say I wish I’d f*cked him. Just to break him. Just to see disgust twist his perfect face. 
 
His reply is like a bullet. 
 
“I would have let you…” 
 
Clyde. 
 
I should’ve burned to death in that fire, because now my worst nightmare has come true. Roadkill knows. He knows the secret I’ve spent years burying beneath blood, alcohol, and loyalty to my club. 
 
I have to kill him. There’s no other way. 
 
But a knife fight leads to kisses and a deal struck in the dark. We’ll keep it quiet. No one needs to know. Enemies with benefits, nothing more. A stolen moment here, a touch there, with no strings and no club betrayal. 
 
Until one of us is dead, I’ll let myself fall into his bed, and in the meanwhile, I’ll keep looking for the bastard who killed my brother. 
 
The aftermath. 
 
Nothing stays buried forever. Not secrets, not sins, and certainly not feelings. What starts as a forbidden tryst becomes something deeper. No matter how far we run, the shadows of our clubs and the weight of our hatred threaten to destroy us. 
 
Some things you can’t come back from. 
 
But that doesn’t stop us from one last kiss. 
 
And then, just one more.

Upheaval by Rita Potter - As We...

Rita Potter

It is time for Dillon Mitchell to start living again. 
Since the death of her wife three years ago, Dillon had buried herself in her work. When an invitation arrives for Tiffany Daniels’ exclusive birthday party, her best friend persuades her to join them for the weekend. 
It’s not the celebration that draws her but the location. The party is being held at the Whitaker Estate, one of the hottest tickets on the West Coast. The Estate once belonged to an eccentric survivalist, whose family converted it into a trendy destination while preserving some of its original history. 
Surrounded by a roomful of successful lesbians, Dillon finds herself drawn to Skylar Lange, the mysterious and elusive bartender. Before the two can finish their first dance, a scream shatters the evening. When the party goers emerge from the underground bunker, they discover something terrible has happened at the Estate. 
The group races to try to discover the cause of this upheaval, and whether it’s isolated to the Estate. Has the world, as we know it, changed forever?

Homography - with a foreword by...

Nathan Evans

Homography: mapping multiple perspectives of a single subject; words with the same form but different meanings (see gay, story); homosexual history approached through autobiography; projective transformation (from personal to political plane). Evans uses his own relationships—sexual and familial, chosen and biological—to explore queer heritage. In this collection you'll happen upon ancestors from antiquity to present day including Narcissus and Derek Jarman, as well as iconic venues like the Royal Vauxhall Tavern. There is imagery drawn from the natural world, and from to the underworlds of fetish and clubbing—a diversity echoed in forms concrete and classical. There is also shame, and there is trauma, but always leavened by fierce humour and hope for our future. This bold and beautiful third collection from Polari Prize longlisted poet Nathan Evans features poems published by Royal Society of Literature, Muswell Press, Broken Sleep and Fourteen Poems. It is edited by TS Eliot Prize winner Joelle Taylor and published for LGBTQIA+ History Month 2026.

Conner is rehabbing the rundown cottage next to Ben's in order to flip it, but after a costly mishap with the water heater makes Connor question his technical skills, he hires a crew to do the work for him. The decision leaves Conner with plenty of time to pester poor Ben, who does his best to avoid the guy who broke his sister's heart. Or did he? When a runaway pooch sets the two on a rescue mission to find it, Ben learns Conner's not so bad after all.
But there's still the past to consider, long-buried feelings to confront, and when a secret confession leads to a smoldering kiss, the only thing that can stand in the way of a sizzling summer love story are a few simple rules. Rule Number One? There are no rules in love!

Bound

Katey Hawthorne

DALTON: My family is old money and my life has been mapped out since before I was born. Become a lawyer, buy a house, get married, and carry on the family name. I have the job and the house, but instead of the marriage, I'm happy playing the field. Finding out that I've been secretly married for half my adult life was a plot twist I didn't see coming. Carter Emerson Royce IV is everything I used to want to be. I haven't seen him since college, and now he's asking me to come to New York and pretend we're the perfect picture of domestic bliss. Considering the history between us, it's the least I can do. 
 
IVEY: All I need to do is to win over the co-op board so I can secure keys to the penthouse in NYC that I've wanted for years. When they ask about my marital status and produce a marriage license from Vegas, my plans are thrown out the window. I've spent fifteen years trying to not think about Dalton Fox, but we're about to get up close and personal again. The plan is simple—pretend we're really married and in love long enough for my application to get approved, Dalton goes back to LA a single man, and I go on with the rest of my life. Except there's more between us than history. Soon it becomes clear, the penthouse isn't the only thing at stake. The rest of our lives—and the future of our marriage—are too. 
 
Contains mature themes.
