The Look of Love

Dianne Hartsock

Summary

Valentine has been in love with his best friend since they were kids, secretly worshiping Preston, while Preston dates man after man, never offering him more than brotherly friendship. When the wonderful summer between high school and college comes to an end, with Val no closer to winning Preston's heart, Val finally admits defeat and heads to Portland State University, leaving his best friend behind. Or so he thinks.
When Val rents a room in a house with fellow students, he meets the lovely Silver, quickly falling for the man's dark looks and sinful smile. When Preston unexpectedly shows up, declaring he's broken up with his latest boyfriend and taken the empty room across the hall from Val, Val's torn between lingering feelings for his old flame, and his growing attraction to the fascinating Silver.
Deciding to leave his troubles behind, he goes with his new roommates to Limelight, the local 1980s club. There he falls even harder for Silver as they writhe and twist to song after song, the wild beat of the music and erotic moves of the dancers around them pounding in his blood. He feels caught up in one of the angsty 1980s movies he loves so well. But tonight, he can't figure out if he's the main character or simply supporting cast.

Thank god for Cas, the local contractor, who agrees to help me out. We come from completely different worlds and are almost 20 years apart, yet we somehow connect. 
Cas sees me, the real me. 
We hook up.… 
Then become friends….

Doctor for the Mafia Alpha - An...

M. T. Calder

This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. A boundary-holding omega doctor saves a wounded mafia alpha, chooses heat on his own terms, and turns pregnancy into protected family without becoming anyone's claim.

A wounded mafia alpha should be the last thing Dr. Sayer Fenn wants in his clinic.

Lazlo Vescari is danger in a blood-soaked suit: powerful, disciplined, and too controlled for an alpha who should be dead. Sayer saves him anyway. That is the easy part.

The hard part is the scent under the antiseptic. The pull of Lazlo's restraint. The way the alpha obeys every boundary Sayer sets, even when heat turns the air sharp and every instinct says closer.

Sayer will not be taken. He will not be claimed because a mafia family needs stability or because a counterfeit suppressant ring has put a target on his back. If he lets Lazlo touch him, it will be because he chooses the heat, the knot, the bond, and every consequence after.

Lazlo has spent his life learning how to protect what matters. Sayer forces him to learn the harder lesson: protection means nothing if it becomes another cage.

Their first heat should have been impossible. The pregnancy that follows should have made Sayer vulnerable. Instead, it makes him impossible to ignore.

Enemies want the Hush-12 evidence gone. The Vescari family wants a public claim. Sayer wants his work, his privacy, his baby, and the alpha who keeps choosing restraint until Sayer asks for more.

This adult M/M mafia Omegaverse mpreg romance includes a competent omega doctor, a dangerous mafia alpha, consensual heat, knotting/bonding, pregnancy, protection without ownership, and a complete baby/family HEA/HFN.

Clueless Puckboy

Eden Finley, Saxon James

QUINN 
Straining my groin is bad enough. It puts my hockey career, my future, but even worse, my dignity on the line. 
Having to get massages in that area from Vance Landon, one of the team trainers, is mortifying. 
It’s impossible to hide my feelings toward him. If my constant blushing and bumbling doesn’t give it away, my body does. 
It’s getting to the point where I wonder if hockey is even worth the embarrassment. 
Trying to avoid him only makes him seek me out more. He’s determined to rehab my injury, but all I want is for him to leave me alone. 
Or fall for me. 
One or the other. 
VANCE 
Ayri Quinn isn’t your typical jock … except for the fact he refuses to admit when he’s injured.

Especially not when the guy in question happens to be the sweetest, most awkward, innocent jock I’ve ever met.  
When a night out leads to Quinn reinjuring himself, I create a care plan that keeps me hands on, literally. Unfortunately, working with him in close proximity brings all those feelings I’ve been trying to ignore to the surface.  
I just need to get him better so he can be back on the ice and out of my bed.  
Ah, my massage bed.  
Because if this goes on any longer, I might mean my actual bed. 
Ayri Quinn is impossible to resist.
