Summary

An ice queen's newfound passion for her best friend upends both their lives in this beautiful lesbian romance about the power of desire and discovery.
No one has ever melted uptight Anne Lowell's icy exterior, not even the husband of thirty years she just divorced. Still, she has her dazzling best friend and neighbor, Sadie Rosenthal, to brighten her days, so she's content. Really, she is.
But when Anne realizes that her feelings for warm-hearted Sadie might be more than just friendship, she's no longer able to ignore the shattering truth she's spent a lifetime repressing.
Anne's choice is clear. She can keep her rigid existence, or she can find the courage to begin a daunting journey with Sadie—one that just might help them both find true happiness.
Available since: 04/29/2026.

    Gary Keller is enjoying a cruise with new friends when he meets Scott Haworth, and unexpected attraction flares between them. But Scott has a past he's trying to leave behind; nine months earlier he was released from prison after almost a decade. The Innocence Project and DNA evidence exonerated him of the crime, but the victim's brother still holds him responsible.
    
    Gary finds himself drawn to Scott for many reasons, not least of which is that the big, physically strong exterior hides a vulnerable, unsure man trying to restart his life. But it's only a seven-day cruise, and when it ends, they both have to go back to their lives in different parts of the country. Is a week long enough to build a relationship that will stand the strain of separation? Or will the cruise just fade to a happy vacation memory?

    Born into poverty and orphaned young, Daveth Blyd had one chance for success when his fighting prowess earned him a place in the Tangye city guard—a place he lost to false accusations of theft. Now he scrapes out a living searching for wayward spouses and missing children. When a nobleman offers him a small fortune to find an entertainer who's stolen a ring, Daveth takes the case.
    
    While Jory Pearce may or may not be a thief, he certainly can't be trusted. But, enchanted by Jory's beauty and haunting voice, Daveth soon finds himself caught in the middle of a conspiracy. As he searches desperately for answers, he realizes that he's also falling for Jory. The two men face river wraiths, assassins, a necromancer, and a talking head that could be Daveth's salvation on their quest for the truth. But with everyone's integrity in question and Death eager to dance, Daveth will need more than sorcery to survive.
