Avoiding Aiden

Chris Cole

Sinossi

I avoid. It's this thing I do. Like, right now, I'm avoiding talking about being dumped. Instead, I'm going to the bar, where my friend Elyse has a drink waiting and my friend Charlie is performing in drag. But they decide that a hookup is just what I need.
That's when I meet Jude. Jude is incredible, and then ... incredibly unavailable. Like, so unavailable. But, combined with advice from my siblings, I start seeing a counselor to talk about how I avoid. 
Then Carter, my ex, steps back into the picture for what I assume is going to be closure. And he assaults me. Jude is there to stop it and help me through the lawsuit and the trial. But Jude has his own stuff going on, and I'm graduating in the spring. At some point I'm going to have to deal with all the issues I'm facing ... especially when love is on the line.

J.D. Walker

Theodore Mennington has been best friends with Henry, the superintendent of the apartment building where they both live, since childhood. He's also been in love with the man for almost as long, knowing his feelings will never be returned, especially since Henry is happily anti-monogamy.
Sheldon Wickens is one of Theodore's copier service clients who's been asking him out on a date for years. Theodore thinks he's hot but always blows him off, thinking there's no way Sheldon would be interested in a blue-collar guy who's a little overweight. Plus, he's tired of one-night stands. 
But things take an interesting turn when Sheldon signs a lease in the same apartment complex where Theodore lives. When Henry sees the simmering attraction between them, he decides to play Cupid at the end of summer lounge party. 
Will Theodore take a chance on something new, despite the bumbling efforts of his best friend, or remain unrequited forever?

J.D. Walker

Bennett "Ben" Pachowski is a bouncer at Throwbacks. He likes his job, though he gets tired of being thought of as more brawn than brain. He loves books, prefers to be romanced before sleeping with a man, and has a crazy feline companion named Bessie.
Ben's favorite band, Rebel's Ultimatum, plays at the club on weekends, giving him an eyeful of sexy bass player, Monty Mabuse. Ben is content to flirt -- nothing more. He knows the kind of person Monty is, and commitment is not something the bass player is interested in. 
When Monty resorts to something devious to get what he wants, it backfires, and Ben walks away. Before he goes on tour with his band, Monty finally gets Ben to talk to him, but if Monty really wants to have something serious with Ben, he'll have to change his ways.

Boys' Night at the Cabin

Justin James

Hero's Heart Like Burning

Crystal Carroll

Five years before, Aeschylus dragged his battered body home after a lifetime of service in Aegina's navy. He'd hoped for a place to curl up and forget. Instead, he'd found himself the city guard's captain and in the middle of a political firefight with Aegina's rival and nearest neighbor, Athens.  
Aeschylus had stopped the municipal kidnappings and made a berth for himself. A loveless and monotonous berth. 
No one with any sense would join the guard. Young hoplites itching for glory and gold joined the Marines or were hired as mercenaries. There was always a war somewhere. Aeschylus needed a decent guardsman. Someone who understood that everyone deserved the same level of protection. 
Aeschylus knew prayer was as dangerous as poking a hydra with a stick, but he was out of options. Aeschylus asked Ares, the god of war, to send him an old hoplite weary of fighting.  
Ares sent him Thêritas of Thrace. A young soldier on a divine labor. A handsome young soldier eager to learn what he could from Aeschylus. Gods sent men on labors to punish or prepare them for a glorious death. Aeschylus told himself there was no reason to borrow sorrows that hadn't yet happened. 
Mysteries were piling up.  
It would be up to Aeschylus and his appealing young guardsman to sort the mysteries from the genuine miracles and do their best to ensure Aegina didn't go straight to Tartarus. 
Aeschylus hadn't asked for a miracle. But as a result of his prayer, he got the whole miraculous ball of wax.

The Barkeep and the Bro

A.J. Truman

I’m his boss. He’s my daughter’s ex-boyfriend. This has nope written all over it. 
For twenty-five years, I’ve been in an exclusive, all-consuming relationship with Stone’s Throw Tavern, my family’s local bar. 
I don’t need a boyfriend. What I need is a new bartender. 
And what I get is Charlie, my daughter’s old college boyfriend, a guy who still acts like he’s chillin’ at the frat house. He was canned from his Wall Street job and escaped to small town Sourwood for a fresh start. 
He knows bupkis about bartending, but he makes up for it with his cocky charm…and the tight shirts he wears, which secretly drive me wild. Now I’m making up excuses to hang by the bar during his shifts. 
There’s a pile of reasons why I can’t cross the line with an employee. Especially this one. He’s twenty years younger than me, and I’m a foot taller than him. Even on a purely mathematical level, this can’t work. 
And yet… 
The growing heat between the fratboy and me burns like a shot of whiskey. I just need to keep my beer can in my pants, or else I could lose my business and my daughter. 
The Barkeep and the Bro will serve you up a glass of age gap, size difference, boss/employee, grumpy/sunshine, small town romance goodness, garnished with humor and lots of heat. And it won’t even ask for ID. This is the third book in the Single Dads Club series, but can be read as a standalone.
