Sinopsis

Kiran Grace and Andrelis Rossen meet as cadets at the Officer Training Academy of the Union of Independent Worlds and, despite the rivalries and suspicion between their home planets, Akna and Parabellum, they can't deny the attraction they feel. Kiran's competence and flair impresses Andrelis and challenges his assumptions about Kiran's people. For his part Kiran is attracted to the martial society Andrelis comes from, but not their stiff-necked attitude and cultural conservatism. After they graduate and go back to serve their home planets, they know they will probably never see each other again. They can only hold on to the happy memories of that intense academy affair.
But several years later, both are serving as officers aboard starships which are the first to reach the scene of a devastating explosion at a remote Akna mining colony. The two crews work together for days to help the victims of the disaster, and the connection between Kiran and Andrelis is rekindled. Both confess they've never been able to get the other out of their minds.
But when evidence comes to light implicating Parabellum in sabotage, the two worlds go to war, and Kiran and Andrelis are torn apart again. Only after years of war will there be a chance for them to reunite to end the conflict ... if they can get past a betrayal that's left a bitter rift between them.

The Naked Remedy

Vivien Dean

Noah isn't brave. He copes with his shyness by staying in his comfort zone. At twenty-six, he still hasn't come out or left his conservative hometown. Finding the blog offers a beacon, but when he summons the nerve to comment, he never expects Fisher to respond.


The two men strike a friendship. Sparks fly, but dating isn't easy. Noah lives in California, and Fisher's in Florida. But making it work takes more than coordinating schedules. It means taking risks. For Fisher, though, Noah will try. Because if he's learned anything, it's that change only happens one step at a time.

Dreams of Summer

Eve Morton

Grace Sutherland hates Christmas. Whether it's her former evil stepmothers ruining the holiday for her, or her looming deadlines making her life stressful, all she wants to do this year is finish her latest book project and forget the fact that her father has now brought home stepmother #3. When her desperation for distraction takes her to the local gym, she's surprised to meet a stunning, upbeat woman named Summer who becomes Grace's incidental muse as she begins penning another novel all about the things she wishes she could be doing during a Summer-inspired vacation.
This Christmas will be the first without Summer Iverson's father. Summer's sadness is made worse when she can't find the last gift her father gave her, a silly fish keychain that bore her name. The loss is made somewhat easier when the cute writer who Summer chatted up returns her flirtations and agrees to accompany her to the gym's annual potluck. A date and shopping spree later -- peppered with a half-dozen kisses -- leads them to planning a Christmas date together, even if Summer has to work that day and Grace has to attend her father's dinner with her hopefully not-so-evil stepmother. 
As a storm rages and Grace is nowhere to be seen for their date, Summer begins to wonder if she was merely a muse for a holiday season. Is her sudden belief in Christmas miracles better left on the page?

Castles in the Air

Felice Stevens

One heartbroken, lonely man
Another man struggling to find his life again
Ryan Matson dreams of a new life, one with a future where drugs aren’t in control. But lying to himself isn’t helping him achieve that goal. Neither is pretending he’s sober, especially not with Logan Silver, his one-night stand and longtime crush. When Ryan's world implodes and all his hopes for a fresh start vanish, he heads down a familiar, self-destructive path, doing what he does best: running and hiding. Only this time, he’s got Logan Silver searching for him.
And Logan won’t stop until he finds him.
Logan Silver is the man who has everything and yet nothing at all. After losing his brother to drugs years ago, Logan is heartbroken, unable to regain his footing or open himself to others. Except to Ryan, the only one to break through the pain that haunts him each day. He is driven by a need to protect Ryan, to give him all he can—a home, a chance at a fresh start…everything, no strings attached. Then Ryan disappears, taking Logan’s trust with him. And when he returns, insisting on keeping his distance, Logan feels like he’s been used. And nobody uses Logan.
Logan and Ryan are unable to deny their attraction, but this time has to be different: no more lying to themselves and each other. Logan must let go of his heartbreak and fear to support Ryan as he discovers his own way. Because Ryan doesn’t need a savior. He needs to own his truth, believe in himself, and accept that he deserves to be happy. Only then can the two have a future together—one built on a foundation of love and trust—that won’t vanish like clouds in thin air.
From Lambda Literary Award winning author Felice Stevens comes an emotional, thrilling new MM romance full of heartbreak, hope and ultimately love. It's filled with angst, true friendship, and swoony, steamy moments. And of course an epic happily ever after.
Be advised there is on-page discussion of substance abuse and mental health issues.
