Mending Bridges

Greyson McCoy

Sinopsis

Xander Petterson wants to save his hometown — its historic bridges, its empty storefronts, its stubborn town council be damned — but he's spent years avoiding real love, terrified of repeating the mistake that cost his great-aunt everything.

Rhys Healy wants to finish rebuilding the falling-down cottage he inherited and prove, mostly to himself, that he's more than the guy who fixes things for other people. He doesn't need Wilcox's most ambitious developer complicating either project.

But Xander and Rhys keep colliding — on the bridge, at the hardware store, in a place too small for either of them to keep pretending nothing's happening — and the same fear that once kept two women apart starts looking like something these two men might actually be brave enough to conquer.

Fans of Lane Hayes's Wood Hollow stories will feel at home in Wilcox, where an ambitious developer and a grounded electrician fall for each other under the same covered bridges their aunts once almost crossed together. Mending Bridges pairs opposites-attract with a slow-burn generational love story.

Tangled in Starlight

Amanda Murr

In the hidden town of Etherwood Cove, two covens live side by side yet worlds apart. Briarwood's witches draw their magic from soil, roots, and forest life, while Eversky's witches call upon stars, moonlight, and cosmic energy. But when magic across the land begins to falter, with spells misfiring, plants dying, and constellations trembling out of rhythm, the balance that held their world together begins to slip.
Wren Fernhart works quietly in the Storybird Cafe, blending teas with the earthy magic she inherited from her Briarwood lineage and hiding the truth of her hybrid forest abilities. Celeste Orion, the youngest Elder Eversky has seen in centuries, carries both her coven's expectations and a heart that has always longed for something more. When Celeste slips into the quiet cafe, the entire room seems to hold its breath. The moment her eyes meet Wren's, something awakens between them, something neither magic nor logic can name, a pull that feels older than the covens themselves.
As Wren and Celeste's connection strengthens with an intensity neither expected, strange shifts ripple through Etherwood Cove. The forest stirs through Wren's blood, and the stars tremble under Celeste's touch, hinting at secrets buried deep in their shared history. Together they begin uncovering forgotten truths about a time when their covens stood united, and the consequences of the centuries that tore them apart.
With magic faltering and desire growing stronger, they must decide what they are willing to risk to understand what is happening around them. Can a love born in secrecy help heal a world built on division, or will the answers they find threaten the fragile balance of their world?

Fearful Symmetry

Eve Morton

Ever since Dryden Morris III was young, his mother has told him about the balance of the world. While she weaves jewelry to sell at the marketplace, Dryden learns how every perfect gem begs to be damaged while every bad situation will be corrected by the universe. This is why symmetry is fearful --because when something is perfect, it only sets itself up to be destroyed.
Dryden doesn't believe his mother's stories until his father dies and they are forced to survive on their own. One night, Dryden ventures into the woods that surround their house. There he meets Otto, a hunter who protects him from a deranged fox and begins to sweep Dryden off his feet. But Otto is not quite who he says he is. The morning after, Dryden realizes Otto has trapped him unless he can solve three riddles in three days. 
With the help of his mother's stories, and the same fox that once threatened him, Dryden must now beat the monster in the woods if he wants to restore perfect balance to the universe once again.

Grumpy Boss Trouble: A Grumpy...

Alex McAnders

HIL 
As I pull into Snow Tip Falls, there was nothing about it that made me want to stay. It’s a beautiful small town, but if you stop running, your problems have a way of catching up with you. 
But then tragedy strikes, and suddenly I find myself wanting to help. And when the person needing help is a chiseled football player with brooding eyes, dimples, and an endless desire to protect me, I’m reminded of the other purpose of my trip, to have a one night stand that finally rids me of my gay v-card.  
I know why I haven’t lost it yet. Guys confuse me. Cali isn’t confusing, mostly because he doesn’t say much. Maybe he’ll be the one. And if I get his rippling, jock body wrapped around me, it will totally be worth the heart break that will follow when he finds out who I am and what I’ve done. 
CALI 
You know how some people are rays of sunshine that light up a room? That’s Hil. Man, it’s annoying. Annoying or not, it’s not like I can refuse his offer of help if I want to stay in university, or on the football team.  
It’s not that he’s hard to look at. That guy makes me think dirty thoughts.  
And, it’s not like he isn’t the sweetest, kindest guy I’ve ever met… 
Wait, am I falling for the stranger who showed up out of nowhere wanting to fix my life?  
There’s a reason I like to keep to myself. And as hot as Hil is, I’m not sure my heart can take being hurt again.

I crossed a line I never should have crossed… and now I don’t want to go back.
 
When my best friend’s grown son texts me looking for help, I figure it’s because his dad is out of town.
 
Turns out he has something specific in mind. Something I never could’ve seen coming.
 
Quinn wants me to teach him about sex, every raw and sensual thing. He is desperate to improve, and trusts me to show him the way. I mean, I have the experience, but I need to say no. I try to.
 
But when his urges lead him into the arms of a dangerous man, I have only one choice: protect my friend’s son.
 
The rule is simple: Seth can’t know. But the more Quinn strips bare for me, the more I’m fascinated by his smart wit, unique insight, and tender honesty. It pulls me in, and melts the carefully constructed walls around my heart faster than I ever thought possible.
 
This is not the guy Seth told me about, and worse, Seth doesn’t even see it. Is there a way to open his eyes without revealing how much I’ve noticed Quinn too? Or will teaching Quinn be my most devastating lesson of all?
