Born This Way

Eve Morton

Sinopsis

Jacob Matthews has gotten really sick of confessing his autobiography every time he meets someone new. Ever since coming out as a gay transgender man, Jacob feels as if no one really cares about who he is right now. Instead, they would much rather have access to his past and create another Lifetime movie out of it. The typical transgender narrative, Jacob notes, always ends in surgery or tragedy. It's been two years since Jacob's crossed the final marker to become who he is, and he's running out of options of what to do next.
The only way that Jacob can overcome his own backstory is by blending in. Every Tuesday Night, he heads out to the local gay club called Boy Division and watches gay men from the sidelines. But when Jacob hooks up with a stranger who understands him with just a simple look, Jacob soon realizes that blending into the walls no longer satisfies him.
Jacob soon runs into his old friends at the LGBT community center, where he is forced to reconsider his life beyond rainbow colors and poppy disco beats. In group therapy, Jacob is confronted by the harsh realities of being transgender, hate crime violence, and the dwindling offers for his future. Just before Jacob leaves, his favorite doctor makes him a bet: if Jacob can find someone to connect to, then she will renew his testosterone prescription without question or qualm. She urges him to find some type of community, even if it's not in the community center's brightly painted walls.
Jacob takes the bet, figuring he has nothing to lose but his happy ending that may -- or may not -- really exist. He becomes determined to find the mystery man from the club again, even if it means blowing his cover.

Hurricane - An MM Omegaverse...

Laura Taylor

Lieutenant Azure Lynwood has worked hard to earn his place in the Space Corps, overcoming centuries of bias and discrimination against omegas. Traveling across the solar system and exploring new worlds comes with its share of complications, but Azure has proven himself a worthy member of his team, and he’s ready for anything the solar system can throw at him.

Or, at least, he thinks so, until a supposedly routine mission goes awry. An inspection of a remote outpost on Titan turns into a murder investigation, then a blizzard traps Azure and his crew inside the base, cut off from any contact with civilisation, and finally, without access to his supply of hormonal suppressants, Azure realises he has only a couple of hours until he goes into heat.

But just when Azure thinks his situation can’t get any worse, he finds out one last, staggering piece of news. Major Tor Savan, his commanding officer and one of the most respected men in the Space Corps, is an alpha.

Refusing to be mated means enduring twelve hours of the worst pain imaginable. But allowing Tor to mate him is unthinkable. Alphas in rut are notoriously violent and aggressive, and if anyone ever found out about the illicit encounter, Azure’s career would be over. Can he really trust Tor’s assurances that he has both the skills and the discretion to see Azure through his heat unharmed?

Tor and Azure's story continues in Deluge and Lava. Books are best read in order.

The Arch-Mage's Firebird

K.L. Noone

Thomas East was meant to be the youngest Arch-Mage in history, a magical genius and a solver of problems. But he hadn't expected quite so many problems -- not to mention the endless meetings, bureaucracy, and political negotiations. So he's currently hiding in a sleepy California seaside town, working in an ice cream parlor and avoiding everyone he's let down ... until a firebird in need of rescue crashes into his shop.
Nicholas Incandesco has far too many problems. He's a firebird, a shapeshifter, and a power source, and a lot of magicians could use someone with his gifts. He's also technically a murder suspect with two magical bounty hunters on his trail. He just wants someplace safe to land, and the attractive witch behind the ice cream counter might offer a sweet refuge. 
This encounter might be exactly what both Nicholas and Tom need to find themselves ... and rescue each other.
